SR2028DS.DOC
Greg McCafferty, Senior Planner, introduced this item by stating that this item is a request for a
conditional use permit to expand an existing private school including the addition of modular classroom
(~ buildings in conjunction with an existing church. Staff recommends approval of the project as
conditioned. At the morning work session staff recommended amending the conditions of approval as
follows:
• Condition No. 7, add, "Said information shall be specifically shown on plans submitted for Building
permits."
• Condition No. 18, add, Condition No. 7.
• Condition No. 19, deleted Condition No. 7, and retain Condition No. 17.
• Regarding the Recommendation, paragraph no. 20, subparagraph (b) to read "revisions to
Conditional Use Permit No. 348~ 3598."
• Also subparagraph (c) of paragraph no. 20, clarified that two of the items Planning Commission is
amending are resolutions and one is a Zoning Administrator decision (Resolution Nos. PC91-61, ~
~ and PC97-93 and Zoning Administrator Decision No. ZA 93-30).
Applicants Statement:
Bill Hoganson, 270 East Palais Road, Anaheim, 92805, stated that he appreciated the work staff has
done. He requested Condition No. 3 to be extended. They feel 10 years would is a more reasonable
length of time. The modulars that are proposed are behind the building and not in public view and cannot
be seen from the street.
Chairperson Boydstun asked how far it would be from the railroad.
~~ Bill Hoganson responded it would be the same distance as the building.

(~ Commissioner Koos asked Mr. McCafferty if the conditions go with the original CUP.
Greg McCafferty explained they have consolidated the conditions of the old resolutions and Zoning
Administrator decisions and placed any new ones that were requested by the I.D.C. Committee.
Commissioner Koos asked Mr. McCafferty to verify that the entire use is with this CUP.
Greg McCafferty verified this was correct.
Commissioner Bostwick asked if the modulars have already been leased.
Bill Hoganson responded that they are actually looking into purchasing the modulars, which is good deal
and that would be another reason why they would like to extend it to 10 years.
Commissioner Koos asked staff what the time limitation was on the original CUP.
Greg McCafferty indicated he would check the resolution but did not think there was a time limitation.
Meanwhile Commissioner Bristol confirmed that it was for 5 years, until 2002.
Commissioner Koos explained to the applicant that Commission is considering a compromise on his
request. Given that the existing entitlement will be coming due for a renewal in two years then possibly
adding 5 years to that which would then extend it to a total of l years.
Commissioner Bristol stated to the applicant that there is consideration of an Overlay Zone area pending
before City Council that could potentially change that whole area to a commercial use.
(. Bill Hoganson indicated that was discussed and they incorporated into their plan a 12-foot wall to buffer
any potential noises that may occur.
Commissioner Bristol stated there is a temporary overhang located by the picnic tables. He was
concerned that the overhang does not seem stable or safe.
Bill Hogans~n explained that is precisely one of the reasons that they are submitting a proposal in order
to replace the current overhang with fixed shelter to the building.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Selma Mann, Assistant City Attorney, indicated that Condition No. 3 indicates that the modular classroom
buildings expire in 5 years. The original CUP does not have a time limitation and it is actually the
expansion of the school, which is Resolution No. PC97-93, which has a time limitation. Changing
Condition No. 3 to make it 7 years will permit the modular units to be at the site for an extra period of
time, but does not do anything about the existing time limitation on the expansion of the school use that
was approved by Resolution No. 97-93 of the Planning Commission.
She further explained that the item currently before Commission is to expand the existing private school
and it would not be inappropriate to modify that condition as well. Commission would have to take
specific action to do that. Modifying Condition No. 3 does not accomplish an extension of the resolution
that limits the period of time.
Commissioner Bostwick asked how the train derailment nearby the school affected the school.
Bill Hoganson responded that it was not affect and explained that the trains move very slowly in that area
because it is a loading and unloading area. He explained that the railroad tracks separated because of
(, the weight and the tracks were old and had not been refurbished in a while, so the tracks went outwards
and the cars tipped over. Their building is quite a distance from the tracks but their major concern was
07-03-00
Page 14

CITY OF ANAHEIM PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
(~
the possibility of leaking chemicals, but there were no vapors. The large cranes that came in to pick up
the cars used their parking lot, which damaged the asphalt, but the railroad company took care of the
problem quickly.
Commissioner Bostwick stated his concern for the children in school and the fact that there is going to be
a play field near the railroad tracks.
Bill Hoganson stated the field would be there on the backside of the parking lot right along the railroad
tracks. The train schedule is late in the day at approximately 6:00 p.m. and their children are gone by
3:00 p.m.
Commissioner Koos asked staff if they were in agreement.
Greg McCafferty responded that they were and simply needed to recommend to Commission how it
would be conditioned.
During the Action:
Selma Mann explained about the previous resolutions and what was approved. Resolution No. PC91-61
approved the church facility in an existing industrial building. The Zoning Administrator Decision No.
ZA93-30 approved the preschool and elementary school in conjunction with the church; that resolution
does not have a time limitation on it. Resolution No. PC97-93 of the Planning Commission for the
expansion of the school use has a time limitation, which expires July 21, 2002. If Commission were to
move forward on the time limitation, it would be only the time limitation that presently exists with regard to
the expansion of the school facility because none of the prior resolutions have a time limitation on them.
~~
Commissioner Koos asked what stafPs recommendation would be on the potential of including these as
one CUP.
Selma Mann advised that it is actually the same conditional use permit, but it is being considered at
different times. Commission can make changes that they wish to make on it but they can not go
backwards on this record and impose time limitations on the uses that have already been approved
without any time limitation on the portions of the use. The only portion of this use that was approved with
a time limitation was the expansion of the school which was the most recent that came before the
Commission on Resolution No. PC97-93. To the extent that they wish to maintain a time limitation of any
kind it would be only that expansion of the school use. It is up to the Commission as to what it wishes to
do with regard to time limitations.
Ms. Mann clarified for the record that there were two different CUP numbers and that the intent would be
to consolidate them. The number is simply a description, a"housekeeping" matter. That the address on
the actual use was correctly advertised and that both numbers will now be consolidated under the number
which is being considered by the Commission.
