PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
~ Public Testimony: -
June Hamze, 3122 Glen Holly Drive, Anaheim; CA, stated the development wili be touching the corner of
her property and addressed concerns pertaining to density, parking and traffic. She asked that they
reconsider by pushing the homes up a bif and making fewer units, as they would like to maintain their
privacy:
Jodie Mosley, 3151 Glen Holly Drive, Anaheim, CA, stated the development doesn't directly affect her
' home but it does affect the neighborhood. She is not against improvement, but is against how much' is
being developed. She also addressed concerns pertaining to parking, congestion and privacy, and '
indicated she would like to see it pushed back and toned down. '
Charles Bradley, 3208 W. Faircrest Drive, Anaheim, CA, stated he is a WAND member and chairman of
the;WAND Land Use Committee and feels 16 units is too many for the amount of parking that wiil be
available. Their privacywill also be lost because back windows of the units wili be 1ooking down into their
backyards.
Roger Van, 3132 W. Glen Holly Drive, Anaheim, CA, stated his property isbehind the proposed property
' and he is opposed to the project. He asked if a traffic flow study was conducted in the area because he is
very concerned about traffic congestion and speeds of vehicles. He indicated a signed petition against the
- project was submitted to the planner.Amy Vasquez, and'suggested that the project be'downsized to 10 or
11 units.
Esther Wallace; 604 Scott Lane, Anaheim, CA, she addressed concerns pertaining to privacy, high density
and lack of landscaping in tfie front of the project. She indicated that' backyard privacy will be gone due to
the large windows that are being put in and suggested that tall Cypress Trees be planted 4o block the view
from the second floor or have frosted windows.
• Bill Samp, 3080 W. Glen Holly Drive, Anaheim, CA, stated he opposes the project and feels it is an
H pattern and there is no flow in the plan and trash pick up will have a difficult time maneuvering their
vehicfes. Also, emergency vehicles will not go into this complex and have to have 200 feet of hose lay to
the back units and he asked will the back units be fire sprinklered. Also, he is concerned that these units
are being placed right under power lines.
Fred Fix, 3115 W. Teranimar Drive, Anaheim, CA, stated his primary concern is that these structures do
not have driveways and indicated many people put storage, hobbies and stuff in garages and may park
one car in the driveway, therefore, parking may overflow into guest parking and the neighborhood.
ApplicanYs RebuttaL-
Mr. Bowman stated there is a 20-foot setback for privacy and there are proposed trees and screening on :
the north property line. The density of this proposal is less than the maximum density allowed by the City
and parking exceeds what is required by the City code. As for traffic on Ball Road, the project is dedicating
20 feet on Ball Road for street widening.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairman Eastman asked about installing traffic lights
Taher Jalai, Principal Traffic Engineer, stated a project of this size doesn't warrant any mitigation measure,
it will not generate enough traffic.
Chairman Eastman asked about trash pick up and fire sprinklers.
James Ling, Associate Civil Engineer, stated trash pick up areas have turn around areas that are designed
• per City specifications. ,

P~ANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
Greg McCafferty, Principal Planner, stated the Fire Marshall approved the site plans which meet fire code
'• requirements.
Gommissioner Flores asked if islands were going to be installed and will parking be allowed on Ball Road:
Mr. Jalai stated #he master plan shows construction of islands and parking is allowed on Ball Road. '
Mr. Ling pointed out that actual improvement will be done in the future. They have a condition requiring a
cash payment be made in lieu of the actual improvements.
Chairman Eastman asked if the developer will be required to include the City owned property in the
landscaping ,
Mr. Ling stated they will be required to do so.
Commissioner Romero asked about the accidents that have occurred and are there limited hours to
parking on the street.
Mr. Jalai responded they need to research the accident statistics and as far as parking, on-street parking is
allowed and would continue.
Commissioner Buffa asked when the BaII Road improvements will be constructed.
Mr. Ling stated he doesn't know of any plans until some other right-of-way gets acquired. '
Commissioner Buffa noticed the private drive for the project doesn't directly line up with the roadway
across Ball Road and is concerned the offset will create intersection spacing which creates conflicting left
turn movements.
~ Mr. Jalai agreed it is not an ideal situation and they may prohibit left turns.
Mark Gordon, Deputy City Attorney, stated it is an issus that is left to Traffic Engineering to sort out. in `
terms of the operational history of a location. If Commission wants to impose a condition on this
development it should hinge upon specific information that tells us that this kind of parking movement
restriction would be warranted. Without that particular information, we are imposing conditions that may or
may not be needed or warranted. When building permits and plans are submitted, Traffic Engineering will
look at the movement with traffic information then determine appropriate restrictions. Also, there are
periodic studies that are perFormed by Traffic Engineering to monitor efficiency of traffic and operational
safety of roadways.
Mr. Jalai stated they coufd do turning traffic studies and look at accident history, then based on that
information they could determine if a left turn in and out should be prohibited.
Commissioner Buffa is sympathetic to residenYs privacy and would like to see modified types of installed
windows or glazing. '
Commissioner Eastman suggested switching the three small windows that are on the side with the large
windows in the back.
Mr. Bowman stated they will discuss privacy issues with staff.
Commissioner Velasquez is concerned about parking and how the complaints will be dealt with.
Mr. McCafferty stated it is a function of the economics that they are dealing with. These homes are priced :
at a range where they won't overcrowd the units. Some people may have 3 or 4 cars and there is no way
.' to regulate that. The parking complies with the parking code, general plan, design standards and eVen
exceeds the parking code.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
• Gommissioner Velasquez stated proposed set back is only 10 feet and requirement is 35 feet and she is
concerned for privacy.
Mr. McCafferty clarified that normal single family homes have 5 foot setbacks. This is a combination of"
townhomes and single family detached and code allows flexibility based on what is next to you. Staff feels -
the 10 feet is appropriate. It is subjective and you have to look at what is next to the property.
This project fits in the general plan for this area and it is a snapshot of what the Planning Commission will
be seeing in the future: The project is complying with the Housing Element and the Code. Also, he -
indicated he drove to the site on a Sunday and there was plenty of parking on tfie street.
Chairman Eastman stated she also drove to the site on a weekday and there was sufficient parking. The
project will have CC&R's requiring people to park in their garages instead of filling them up with storage, as
is the case in most single-family neighborhoods. .
Commissioner Buffa included that the Homeowner's Association will have to enforce the CC&R rules, not
the City;
Commissioner Karaki feels the homeowner. association will take good'care of this issue and feels parking
is adequate for the project.
Commissioner Perez stated he can not support the project even though staff has done a good job. '
Commissioner flores concurred with Commissioner Perez and stated she feels there is an existing parking '
problem and adding more housing is not the answer. She suggested removing one unit in order to add
more parking.
Commissioner Buffa stated yes there is a parking problem but they don't know what causes that problem
.~ and it would be irresponsible of the Commission to assume it is the apartment projects. She has been in
the neighborhood and there is plenty of parking on the street.
Chairman Eastman concurred with Commissioner Buffa and feels the developer is complying with code
and stated she supports the project.
OPPOSITION: 7 people spoke in opposition to the subject request.
A petition was received with 134 signatures in opposition.
Mark Gordon, Deputy City Attorney, presented the 10-day appeal rights for the Tentative Tract Map ending
at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 4, 2005, and the 22-day appeal rights for the Reclassification and
Conditional Use Permit ending at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 16, 2005.

worked hard with staff and are present to answer any questions.
Commissioner Flores asked if the interior of the subterranean parking will be more appealing.
Mr. Ellis advised it is typically concrete, concrete and block for a number of reasons. Painting walls causes
maintenance issues for future homeowners because they get dirty and scuffed very easily and large blank
painted walls invite graffiti. The block walls can be sanded off easier, and he stated they use appropriate
lighting to create a safe environment.

_ Chairman Eastman opened the public hearing.
Amy Vazquez, Associate Planner, introduced Item No. 6.
• ApplicanYs Statement:
Fred Cook, Seven Designs, 23121 Verdugo Drive, Suite 205, Laguna Hills, CA, stated the site plan should
be amended to relocate a trash enclosure to the north into the property where the retail space is. it will
allow them to have trash on both properties without creating an access agreement because the properties
are owned by separate entities. They will also add trees for landscaping per staff's request.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairman Eastman asked staff if moving trash changes parking
Amy Vazquez advised all parking and circulation was analyzed with the two properties together as a whole
and moving the trash will free up parking to the west.
Chairman Eastman expressed concern that there are three retail spaces versus twa
Mr. Cook stated they would like the flexibility in case a smaller tenant comes in that wants only 500 square
feet.
Chairman Eastman asked if they need to have a plan to depict the alternative and would it change the
parking.
Greg McCafferty, Principal Planner, stated it would change the parking and recommended that they leave
it at two retail spaces. They can always come back and request the third one at a later time. They can shift
the walls, just as long as they have the two spaces there.
• Commissioner Romero asked how trash wil~ be hidden once moved.

Commissioner Flores asked about the'two property owners
Mr. Cook advised the Taco Beli property is owned by another entity which Cotti Foods is buying. They are
' noYgoing to put the Taco Bell back on the site where the existing Taco Beil is. The other entity which is a
trust, owns the second parceL
Commissioner Velasquez asked what eise beside the trash agreement would have to be considered
because there are two property owners.
Amy Vazquez stated it has always been known that there are two property owners; it made more senseto
analyze the project conclusively since they are sharingparking and circulation. Both owners signed a
nofarized application and one applicant is representing the project.
Commissioner Velasquez asked if the City needs an agreement to share the trash.
Mr. McCafferty responded no because they are reviewing the site as one. :It +s one project regardless of
' how many ownerships there are.
Amy Vazquez indicated Condition No. 23 in the draft resolution requires an agreement for-reciprocal
parking, maintenance and access between the two properties.
Commissioner Velasquez thought there was an issue with signs and waHs.
Chairman Eastman stated they agreed with Commission's comments during the preliminary plan session
earlier today pertaining to the front elevation, and stated opaque windows and trellis wiH be instafled.
~ Mr. McCafferty added they agreed to remove the bells.
Chairman Eastman stated that landscaping could be added where the bells are being removed.
Mr: Cook stated there are three panels along the drive-thru and there isn't much room, but the one on the
public entry side can be enhanced with landscaping.
Commissioner Romero asked if they subdivide into three retail spaces, would there be enough parking.
Mr. McCafferty responded yes, as long as they are retail uses. The division of space doesn't matter; it is
the type of use that occupies the space. He pointed out as long as it has ten or less seats it would be fine.

Conditional Use Permit Resolution No. PC2005-112 ppramirez@anaheim.net)
Chairman Eastman opened the public hearing.
John Ramirez, Associate Planner, introduced Item Na 10 and stated because of the extensive code' '
enforcement history, staff conducted several site visits and inspections. October 2004, the Fire
' Department, Building Division, Planning Department, Community Preservation and City Attorney's Office
visited all the tenant spaces, with the exception of the bar and nail salon which are the only permitfed uses
on the property. After Building DepartmenYs review of the structure alterations, staff determined there
~ would be a need for further evaluation by an architect or engineer to determine if modifications hadan
impact on the safety of the interior space. Staff also noticed the church's tenant space had 158 chairs,
when it was developed to house a maximum of only 49 people within a given space. Fire Department was
concerned because it wasn't designed for assembly use and the curtains and window dressings weren't
rated for fire retardant. The locking and exiting mechanisms were not up to code.
In the conditions of approval for the conditional use permit that was approved in March 2005, staff included
a condition that identified several items that were observed at the physical inspection. Items such as
adding numbers in front of the building, requiring applicant hire a licensed architect to evaluate structural ,
integrity of the building due to the unpermitted modifications and various other internal tenant improVement
issues related to openings and masonry wall that may or may not be reinforces, upgrading restrooms, ,
exiting doors, mechanical, plumbing and electrical changes done without appropriate review by the
Building Division.
Applicant/owner have known about issues since October of last year and up until this point, none of these
issues, except for the most minor have been resolved. Applicant had 60 days to comply with conditions of
approval, to date they have not been resolved or addressed. As recent as July 15'h, applicant was still ;
conducting services with more than 49 people. Cars were double parked and blocking others from being
able to exit. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission revoke the conditional use permit based on
the fact that this particular condition has not been completed as specified by May 20, 2005, and use is
being exercised contrary to conditions of approval and being in violation of the Uniform Building Code and
Fire Code. The applicant forwarded a letter which he sent to the property owner indicating they were going
to vacate the property within 30 days, but staff has no confirmation that it is going to happen:
Applicant's Statement:
Paula Acosta Elias, 961 N. Fairview, Anaheim, CA, stated she is representing 2230 West Colchester Drive
~ in Anaheim. They hired two engineersand both of the engineers indicated that they should move out and `
find another location because the building needed extensive work. The congregation does exceed

occupancy limit so even if they complied with City's request for changes, they are still in violation. They
'~ submitted their 30-day notice and are trying to move out as soon as possible. They have no intention of
staying and are in the process of looking for another location.
` THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED,
Commissioner Flores advised the applicant to come into the City when they do find a new location in order
to check if it fits before spending a lot of money.
Commissioner Velasquez advised they need to comply with the parking and capacity restriction until they
move out because they_are jeopardizing people'slives, and the cars should not be double parked.
Paula Elias stated the double parked cars are not theirs. The business next door, Narcotics Anonymous,
are the ones who double park. The church has security there to make sure no one double parks.
Commissioner Romero asked staff if the new owners will have to make repairs to the _building;
Greg McCafferty, Principal Planner, stated it depends on a number of things., With regard to the
modifications that have been made to the building without permits, they will have to get permits. Other
modifications that will need to be done depend on the occupancy of that particular business.
