CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1074: Submitted by East
Anaheim Methodist Church, to interpret the intent of the City Planning Com-
mission's action in granting said conditional use permit for a private ele-
mentary Christian Day School, kindergarten through sixth grades, in conjunc-
tion with an existing church, including the maximum number of students per-
mitted. R-A zoned property located north and west of the northwest corner
of Romneya Drive and Acacia Street.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-89,
reapproved said conditional use permit, subject to conditions; one being that
there shall be a maximum of 80 students permitted in the proposed school and
that at the end of two years if the Petitioner requests an increase, said
consideration shall be made at an advertised public hearing to determine
whether or not any adverse effects have been experienced and whether an ad-
ditional number of students should be permitted.
Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Con~nission was filed
by Jerry Moore, an area resident, and public hearing scheduled June 29, 1971,
at which time said hearing was continued to this date at the request of the
Applicants Agent.
The City Clerk reported that a letter of appeal of City Planning
Commission action also had been received from Warren Schutz, Fred R. Diehl,
and Norman Hahn, representatives of the Applicant.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject
property, which consists of approximately 2-1/3 acres, reviewed the history
of the property, summarized the hearing and read the findings of the City
Planning Corm~ission. He further noted that under the Uniform Building Code,
which permits one person for every 20-square feet of classroom, there could
71-421
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES -. July 20, 1971, 1;30 P,M.
be a maximum of 152 students in the existing facility, not counting the main
auditorium of the church, although at the time the original conditional use
permit was granted the Applicant indicated that there would be 12 mentally-
retarded students and possibly 18 other students.
In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Geisler advised that public
schools are a governmental entity over which the City Council has no control;
whereas, a private institution is governed by City zoning regulations, and
thus is under the control of the City Council. Mr. Geisler further advised
that the only issue to be considered by the City Council at this time is an
interpretation of whether the conditional use permit, as granted in 1968, has
any limitation, is unlimited and thus limited only by the Building Code, or
limited to approximately 30 students.
The City Clerk advised that 32 letters favoring the application, and
6 in opposition had been received since the time of the City Planing Commis-
sion hearing.
Mayor Pro Tem Stephenson asked if the Applicant or his Agent was
present and wished to address the Council.
Norman Hahn, 1230 South Euclid Street, Agent for the buyer and sel-
ler of subject property, stated he had researched the original conditional use
permit prior to continuing negotiations on the purchase, and had found no re-
strictions on the number of students who would be allowed, and thus a retainer
was placed on the property with no contingencies. He added that a search of
the files on similar conditional use permits revealed none that would not al-
low as many students as the square footage of facilities would permit.
Mr. Hahn presented a folder, purportedly containing 23 letters and
a petition with 80 signatures favoring the proposed school. He referred to
displays posted on the Council Chamber wall showing routes that would be tra-
veled in transporting children to and from the school, along with possible
and existing traffic volume; square-foot floor space of existing facilities;
and alleged tax savings to property owners as a result of their proposed op-
eration. Mr. Hahn referenced a report of the Traffic Engineer, stating that
both Romneya Drive and Acacia Street could easily handle an increased volume
of traffic without any adverse effect, since Romneya Drive now is operating
at between 40% and 50% of its capacity, and Acacia at 65% to 70% of its capa-
city. He stated that an actual measurement of the 7 existing classrooms re-
vealed enough square footage to allow 189 students, at 20-square feet per
student; that the auditorium area of 2,400-square feet, and an additional
room near the auditorium of 640-square feet would make a total of 6,830-square
feet, not including the areas to be used for bathrooms, offices and kitchens.
With regard to purported tax savings, since parochial schools are
not dependent on taxes for support, Mr. Hahn stated tax savings in the amount
of $2,787,163.00 could be saved over a 10-year period with the 341 students
their proposed school could accommodate, since the cost to educate each child
in the public schools of Anaheim in 1970 was $817.00. Mr. Hahn asked that the
proposed school be allowed to grow to its maximum capacity to enable it to
serve the entire community.
In reply to Councilman Roth, Mr. Hahn advised a min{~m of 200 stu-
dents are expected to register in their school this fall.
Lee Dewoody, Tustin, secretary of the proposed school,in reply to
Council questioning advised that 70 or 75% of those expected to register for
the fall term will be from Anaheim, with 20% to 30% of those students from
within walking distance of the school. She added that since they also offer
extended care for their students, many will be dropped off before school
time by their parents.
Councilman Roth stated he had understood the sanctuary of the church
would not be used for classrooms.
Lisa Fiore, 6391 Cornet Circle, Yorba Linda, a student at the school,
recited a statement that limiting the school to 80 students was unjust.
71-422
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. Schneider, 1471 East Romneya Drive, stated the school almost
surrounds her property and she has no objection to it.
Bert Toth, 1146 North Louise Drive, stated he lives across the
street from the school and does not object to any noises created by the
school activities, but he did object to motorcycles, etc. on the street at
night. He referred to an article in "The Register" which reported that a
$250,000,000.00 school had been approved by the State, with no funds to pay
for it, and alleged that not allowing the subject school to operate as re-
quested would mean citizens would have to pay higher taxes. Mr. Toth also
stated he believed the Christian School would help eliminate "smu't," at
least in that school.
Mrs. Neldean Toth, 1146 North Louise Drive, advised she had no ob-
jection to the noise from the school and added that the Christian School has
greatly improved the looks of the property since they have been there.
Mrs. Pamela Holsinger, 1239 North Maplewood Street, whose children
attend the present summer session of the school, advised that her experience
as a room mother at Edison Elementary School nearby had revealed vandalism
and overcrowded situations, and an inability to handle advanced or problem
students, and she felt these situations were not present in subject school.
David Dewoody, 1266 North Placentia Avenue, Athletic Director of
subject school, outlined the athletic program that was being offered and
stated it was hoped the school would be large enough to enter' into athletic
competition with other schools this fall.
Scott Hall, 202 North Chantilly Street, a student at the school,
stated he would like the school to grow to 250 students so they could have
their own band and choir.
Fred Diehl, 1616 South Euclid Street, Principal of the school, sta-
ted only one employee of the school does not live in Anaheim at this time;
that they have worked with children in Canada and Mexico and now believe Ana-
heim offers the greatest potential for their operation.
Richard R. Harris, 5917 East Arno Crescent Drive, Co-Chairman of
the Board of Trustees of the United Methodist Church, advised that when it
became necessary to sell the church on Romneya Drive in order to build a lar-
ger church on State College Boulevard, a firm was hired to make a survey as
to the best use of the property, and they suggested a convalescent hospital,
which the church rejected, and R-1 development would not be sufficiently pro-
fitable economically. Thus, the decision was made to sell for a continued
use as a combination church and school. He also advised that a school for
the deaf had been considered, however, it was felt such an establishment
would not have the Christian emphasis necessary for the continuation of the
basic use of the property.
Warren Schutz offered to show slides of the property as it now ex-
ists; however, since all Councilmen present had visited the property, it was
deemed unnecessary.
Mayor Pro Tem Stephenson asked if anyone wished to &ddress the Goun-
cil in opposition.
Jerry Moore, 1141 North Acacia Street, stated it was obvious the
facilities now were being used strictly as a school, and not in conjunction
with the church. He questioned the statement that tax dollars would be saved
the taxpayers by the existence of such a school, since he believed otherwise.
Mr. Moore stated that in 1968 the area residents were not opposed to the school
for 12 mentally-retarded students, and would not be opposed today to a small,
private school of 12 students, if the primary use of the property was as a
church; it was felt the property now should be used for single-family resi-
dential development. He further felt that the proposed school would create
additional traffic where streets already are narrow and there is a problem
during the peak hours; the traffic would be further increased by construction
71-429
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL M~NUTES - July 20, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
of the proposed apartment complex on State College Boulevard and Romneya
Drive. Mr. Moore objected to the 6:30 A.M. arrival of students at the pro-
posed school, five days a week, whereas the original mentally-retarded school
operated four days a week, from 10:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. He contended that
Warren Schutz, of the East Anaheim Methodist Church, had misled the City Plan-
ning Commission, which resulted in the decision to allow 80 students at the
school.
Mrs. Velma Smith, 1203 North Boden Drive, stated she believed the
wishes of the homeowners within a 300-foot radius of subject facility should
be most important; that because they did not object to a church having 12
mentally-retarded students, they should not have to accept this large school
which would be a business venture operated as a tax-exempt organization, and
thus, would not give any tax relief. Mrs. Smith said the formerly mentally-
retarded children were quiet; whereas, more noise already has been created
by the proposed school and bigger problems will result as it grows. She asked
that the property continue to be used as a church.
Joseph L. Hancock, 1145 North Liberty Lane, advised he felt the
traffic problems on Romneya Drive are more serious than the Traffic Engineer's
report indicated; also, rainwater collects on Romneya Drive and creates a
dangerous situation for children going to and from school. He stated that
he is convinced allowing spot zoning and non-conforming uses in residential
areas is the greatest cause of slums and ghettos, and since there is no short-
age of corm~ercial property in Anaheim and there is a shortage of good residen-
tial property, neither a business, cormnercial or professional activity should
be allowed on subject property; if this proposed school were to operate t~ its
present capacity there could be 341 students crowded into an area equivalent
to 5 R-1 homes.
Mrs. Lucy Hernandez, 1146 Boden Drive, alleged traffic already is
so heavy on Romneya Drive and Acacia Street between 3:00 and 4:00 P.M., that
it takes 10 minutes for her to get out of her driveway. She presented photos
showing traffic congestion during peak hours. Mrs. Hernandez expressed objec-
tion to the noise of the twice-a-week early morning trash pick-up, outside
lights burning all night, and the school operating from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
She alleged Mr. Schneider, whose wife had spoken in favor of the school, was
employed at the school.
James E. Starr, 1462 Kenwood Avenue, whose property is adjacent
to the rear of subject property, contended his windows must be kept closed
because of the dust created by cars dropping children off for school and
picking them up; also, that his privacy is being invaded, since som~ chil-
dren had been sitting on the fence observing activity in his yard. He fur-
ther stated that a realtor had estimated his property value would depreciate
as much as $1,500.00 if the school went into full operation.
Mayor Pro Tem Stephenson invited short rebuttals..
Warren Schutz, representing the Applicant, advised that Mr. and
Mrs. Diehl are purchasing subject property, not the School, and thus the
taxes would be more than paid by the Methodist Church; that contrary to a
previous statement he had not misled the City Planning Commission, but had
quoted the City Attorney as to what would be considered a "reasonable" num-
ber of students. Further, there were 300 to 400 in the Methodist Church
congregation, and services and other activities were held in the evening
and there was no objection either to the traffic or from neighbors, because
of noise. In his opinion, there is nothing wrong in using a sanctuary for
educational purposes, and he emphasized that the activity would be a church
and church-related school.
Jerry Moore stated that there were six cars at the church the preced-
ing Sunday; that having church one day a week and school five to six days a week
made the primary use a school.
In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Diehl advised that he has been
conducting Sunday and Thursday evening church services. That parents drop
children off early in the morning on their way to work and only two children
arrive at 6:00 A.M.; these children are cared for without charge. Further,
although there are only 4 teachers at this time, additional ones will be hired
71-424
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
as needed, since they expect to have about 30 students in each classroom; all
of the present teachers do not have California credentials. He added there
is sufficient off-street parking to accommodate the teaching staff as there
is parking space for over 120 cars.
In reply to Council expression as to noise created by children be-
ing dropped off early in the morning and cars driving through the yard at
that time, Mr. Diehl agreed that children could be dropped off at the corner
of Romneya Drive and Acacia Street, thus eliminating that problem.
In reply to the City Attorney, Mr. Diehl advised: that there is a
regular interdenominational congregation in connection with the church on the
property; although the property now is owned by him and his wife, when the
church reaches a status where it desires to purchase the property they will
be glad to work with them; the church and school are being set up on a non-
profit basis; the church will pay for the use of the property; the Board of
Directors is listed on the organizational application.
Mr. Geisler advised that if the proposed activity is a school opera-
ted by Mr. Diehl, as an individual, it would not qualify under the existing
conditional use permit and a new conditional use permit for a school operated
by a Christian minister must be applied for. He added he did not believe Mr.
Diehl qualified as a church, and transfer would have to be to a church corpora-
tion, as he could not operate this school as a private enterprise function.
Mr. Geisler further stated that the present hearing, however, is to determine
the number of students that can, in fact, be permitted in the operation of a
church-school on subject property.
Mr. Diehl advised that they do not intend to operate as a private
enterprise, and are in the process of incorporation as a non-profit organiza-
tion.
In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Schutz advised that the Articles
of Incorporation for the church are in Sacramento, and the members of the Board
of Directors of the corporation as listed on the application are Reverend
Diehl, Mrs. Diehl, and the two Dewoody sisters.
It was determined sufficient evidence had been presented, and Mayor
Pro Tem Stephenson declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Roth asked if there were any special requirements that
must be met before a chapel can be used for school purposes.
Mr. Geisler advised that at the time of the original application,
there were two requests - one for approximately 12 retarded children, and
one for approximately 18 students that would be cared for basically by con-
gregation members as a'part-time school, the indication being only those fa-
cilities not used as a church would be used for classrooms. Because of this,
there were no conditions imposed and, thus the Building Code would be the
~ only thing that would govern what facilities were used, unless the Council
.wished to set down smecial con4itions. He added that the Building Code al-
lows ~p~=~=~~e~e~ floor space to assemble in a room, and
that would include teachers and others as well as students.
RESOLUTION NO. 71R-323: Councilman Roth of£ered Resolution No. 71R-323 for
adoption, interpreting Conditional Use Permit No. 1074 to permit total student
enrollment in accordance with the Uniform Building Code~ activities to be COn-
ducted in accordance with all applicable l aws~ and subject to the conditions
recommended by the Interdepartmental Committee.
The Council expressed concern over the wall requirements and the
hours the activity is operated. Councilman Thom stated he would prefer to
limit the hours of operation to those applicable to other schools in the area.
Mr. Diehl stated that one of the reasons people send their children
to a Christian school is for the convenience of having them cared for before
and after school hours, while they work. He reiterated there is no charge
for bringing children in early.
71-425'
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
Miss Dewoody advised that most of the summer session children are
there because of working parents, and if they could not have extended day
care they may as well not have the school. She stipulated that no children
would be outside the buildings before 8:00 A.M.
The Council requested that Condition No. 6 of the Interdepartmental
Committee recormnendations be amended to require completion of the masonry walls
within 90 days from the date hereof, and the following condition be added to
those suggested by the Interdepartmental Committee: "Any students arriving
on the premises prior to 8:00 A.M. shall be confined within the buildings."
In reply to Mr. Roberts, as to extended day care activities before
and after school, Mr. Geisler advised that the application is for church-
operated school purposes only, with no provisions included for any extended,
live-in care or for taking care of people, except for the "before hours" stu-
dents, as stipulated. After school hours, the extended care could be for a
reasonable period of time, if there are teachers in attendance; if teachers
are no longer present,it would be considered a different type of activity.
Councilman Stephenson was of the opinion 6:00 P.M. was a reasonable
time for after school extended care.

PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSiFiCATiON NO. 70-71-57: Submitted by Alan R. Talt, et al,

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1971~ 1:30 P.M.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of said 20 acres,
existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and advised that the Applicant
had submitted schematic plans indicating possible R-3 development with 7,200-
square foot lots, and also indicating accesses through industrial areas, which
situation is not consistent with past policies and practices of the City Coun-
cil. Mr. Roberts advised that the Anaheim General Plan indicates R-3 develop-
ment would be appropriate for that portion of the property north of Omega Ave-
nue, and that portion south of Omega Avenue as industrial use, and that Area
Development Plans show Omega Avenue being developed through to proposed Sun-
kist Street. He added that at this time said property is in the County and
the Applicant is requesting a pre-zoning.
Mr. Roberts advised that several months ago a representative of the
Development Services Department appeared before the Orange County Planning
Commission and Board of Supervisors to express City Council opposition to
the rezoning of subject property south of Omega Avenue to multiple-family
zoning; the County, however, approved the application, but now the property
owners feels it would be more advantageous to annex the property to the City
of Anaheim prior to development.
Mayor Pro Tem Stephenson asked if the Applicant was present and
wished to address the Council.
Alan R. Talt, 1375 St. Albans Road, San Marino, advised this appli-
cation has been made on behalf of him and his wife and two neighbors, Mrs.
Myers and Mrs. Simpson, who also own some of the property in question; that
the property has been sold to Covington Brothers and the sale is not subject
to zoning; that it was felt Anaheim was suited to provide services to that
area, based on the justification in the proposal filed with LAFC by Anaheim,
March 10, 1968, in connection with annexation of some of his other property
west of subject property. He added that at that time the Anaheim represen-
tative had stated that as an alternate to annexation, in order to provide the
needed services, a County service area could be formed, but this would be
more expensive than annexation and would place the County in the position
of supplying urban services which actually should come from the incorporated
area. Mr. Talt stated that the property to the south has been green-belted
since 1968 and is, therefore, committed to long-term agricultural use, not
industrial use. He advised that, prior to initiating said proceedings, he
had consulted five of the six industries who allegedly had opposed the zoning
of his property to the west at the time of application; two indicated they
never had been opposed and were not now, and Southern Pacific Company, on
June 22, 1970, by letter, stated no opposition to R-3 zoning between Ball
Road and Winston Road.
Mr. Talt referred to Area Development Plan No. 94 and the Anaheim
General Plan, in an attempt to show that Omega Avenue could not be developed
west of his existing apartment complex because apartments already have been
built over it, and thus it would be unacceptable to have industrial use south
of where Omega Avenue formerly was projected to be.
Mr. Talt referred to a Parks proposal in the General Plan, where it
was proposed that 8 acres of land south of Ball Road be purchased to serve the
area bounded by Wagner Avenue, Orange Freeway, State College Boulevard, and the
multiple-family residential area. He contended that the only apparent way to
implement this would be to purchase the two parcels between the proposed de-
velopment and the McKesson-Robbins facility, consisting of a total of 10 acres,
half of which is owned by Mr. Talt; or it would have to be property in the
green-belted area south of Winston Road.
He offered to lease to Anaheim his property on Winston Road, west
of subject property, and east of McKesson-Robbins facility for a period of
seven years, commencing July 1, 1972, for $1.00 per year, plus any taxes
Anaheim might pay for park and recreation purposes; and to also offer an
option to purchase this property for park and recreation purposes at the

City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
He further advised that Covington Brothers has stated there need
be no openings onto Winston Road from their proposed development; that the
property has frontage on Sunkist Street.
Mr. Talt again referred to the Anaheim General Plan and its pro-
posal of 425 acres of Commercial-Recreation area, commencing 3/5ths of a mile
from subject property. He added that unless adequate housing is provided for
those people expected to work in Anaheim, it will result in congestion of Ana-
heim's streets and air, and the workers will live and shop tn some other city.
Mr. Talt advised that in discussion with M~Kesson-Robbins represen-
tatives they had stated they were not now bothered by the existing apartment
complex and had no objection to the proposed one. He added that McKesson-
Robbins facility consists almost entirely of office space and storage space;
that the Pacific Scientific building on State College Boulevard and Winston
Road had no manufacturing facility on Winston Road but was entirely offices.
He questioned the indications made by Pacific Scientific Company and Neville
Chemical Company that the City had promised subject property would be devel-
oped in the same manner as theirs, as there were houses south of Ball Road
and north of Winston Road before those two companies were situated there; also,
that Pacific Scientific Company obtained its building approval and variance
from Orange County, not Anaheim, and thus it would have been the County of
Orange and not Anaheim who promised such development of the adjoining property.
Mr. Talt presented to each Councilman copies of the Pacific Scien-
tific Aeroproducts application for County Use Variance dated August 31, 1956,
and plot plan, and advised in examining said plot plan, it appears that Paci-
fic Scientific, as a guarantee to the property owners north of Winston, was
to provide a buffer consisting of swimming pools and other facilities, to
separate whatever manufacturing they are doing from the homes.
H~ interpretation of the Neville Chemical Company application for
Variance (No. 701) in 1957, was that the City Council guaranteed that devel-
opment of Neville Chemical Company was not going to interfere with his use
of his property, whic~h at that time, was partly residential.
Mr. Talt stated that he has unsuccessfully tried to find an indus-
trial user for his property behind his present apartment house. He referred
to the Doxson Report in the July 7, 1971 issue of '!Southern California Busi-
ness,'' in which it was stated that it is futile to continue to set aside
huge tracts of M-zoned property for development that will not take place for
the foreseeable future. Mr. Talt concluded by stating that, in his opinion,
subject property is probably the finest apartment house site remaining in
Anaheim.
Horace Camp, 1234 East Lincoln Avenue, advised that he had been re-
quested by Mr. Talt to make a survey of the present conditions of industrial
property in the City of Anaheim today and, within a three-hour period of time,
had found 1,471,000-square feet of industrial land that had buildings which
were vacant and for lease, and that the majority of property in this situa-
tion was within 1-1/5th miles of subject property.
Referring to the Anaheim General Plan, Mr. Camp noted that since
that Plan was amended in 1969, approximately 18,000 Autonetics employees are
no longer employed there; that there have been significant changes in the eco-
nomic picture, and it was his opinion that industrial land no longer would
be consumed at the rate anticipated when the General Plan first was adopted.
Mr. Camp expressed the belief that subject application would not
injure the industrial base of Anaheim; that he did not think it was economi-
cally feasible to let industrial land remain vacant.
Cal Queyrel, representing the developer, advised that if the appli-
cation is approved the plan is to build 70 fourplex apartments, to sell at
from $70,000.00 to $72,000.00 each; that the density of their proposed project
would be approximately 14 units per acre, whereas present County zoning would
allow a density of 30 units per acre.
Mayor Pro Tem Stephenson asked if anyone wished to address the Coun-
cil in opposition.
Merrill Skilling, Northrup Corporation, advised that at the time
Northrup Corporation was considering a site for expansion of their operations,
71-4'29
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1971, 1:~ P.M.
they chose the southeast industrial area of Anaheim because their operations
were noisy, and in this location it would not disturb any residents; however,
in 1968 the industrial zone which, at that time, extended from Ball Road to
Orangewood Avenue, became violated and residential zoning was allowed to the
equivalent of Omega Avenue. He added that, at that time, although they were
a little concerned about the proposed residential development they did not
oppose it; that if, in 1966 they had known there may be a possibility of
residential encroachments, they would have selected a different site. He
urged subject application be denied.
Robert Ulrich, 730 North West Street, Manager of Neville Chemical
Company, requested that the application be denied as, in his opinion, pre-
vious actions had indicated that the industrial area would be protected south
of Ball Road.
Referring to the action by the Orange County Board of Supervisors
in granting R-3-1,200 Zoning for subject property, Mr. Ulrich contended there
were two Supervisors going out of office at that time who did not care what
happened in the area. He also referred to an article in the Los Angeles Times
that stated at present there is an almost 10% vacancy situation in apartments.
Councilman Pebley noted that since the County has approved this
proposed development, it could be developed in the County and Anaheim would
not receive the required park and recreation fees or building'permit fees
on the development.
Mr. Ulrich responded that he felt a promise had been made to retain
industrial use in the area, and he believed the reason the applicants had not
yet developed under the County zoning was because they could not obtain the
necessary utility services.
Robert Kottman, representing Pacific Scientific Company, advised
that they have been in their present location since 1957, and have 10 acres
of land, half of which has been developed; they provide an average of 200
jobs and have an investment there of $3,000,000.00.
He advised that his company always has opposed residential develop-
ment south of Omega Avenue in this area, and referred to an earlier ERA Re-
port to the County that stated this area is one of the top three industrial
locations in Orange County. That perhaps no specific con~aitment was made to
industry, but the General Plan of Anaheim should be a document that can be
depended upon, and he referred to the approximately 25 acres in the area that
have been developed in industry since 1968.
He noted that in approving the adjacent R-3 development, the Council
required a buffer barrier to insure that the intent of the General Plan was
still met. In his opinion,'industrial noises would be offensive to any resi-
dential development south of Omega Avenue.
Mr. Kottm~n felt that with the development of the Orange Freeway,
the value of this area for industrial use would improve. He requested the
decision of the City Planning Commission be upheld, which would enable the
Applicant to develop half of the property in the City for i~m~ediate gain.
Mayor Pro Tem Stephenson invited the Applicant to again address
the Council.
Mr. Talt advised that subject property is 1,700 to 2,000 feet from
the Pacific Scientific Company and, thus their noises should not disturb his
proposed development's residents. Further, that he has 176 apartment units
in Anaheim and there presently is a very low vacancy factor of 6.9%; that in
June they had to turn down a request by a company to lease five 2-bedroom
apartments at the Ball Road site.
In reply to Councilman Roth, Mr. Talt advised that although escrow
has not closed on the sale of their property to Covington Brothers, the sale
is not contingent on any zoning being approved, although Covington Brothers
must take all of the property and not just a portion.
Mayor Pro Tem Stephenson asked if anyone else wished to address
the Council; there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - July 20, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
The City Manager, in reply to Council questioning, advised that
the developers have discussed with the City of Anaheim servicing of this
property with needed utilities. He added that the City presently is in a
position to serve subject area, and that neither the developer nor the City
of Anaheim feels that possible alternatives to this are as satisfactory.
Following Council discussion, it was determined most appropriate
that Omega Avenue be retained as the dividing line between industrial and
residential use, although Councilman Thom expressed the opinion he felt the
dividing line should have been Winston Road.
Councilman Pebley stated that, in his opinion, if the developer
should decide to go ahead and develop under the County approval without an-
nexing to the City of Anaheim, additional consideration should be given,
since he would not like to see an apartment complex develop there under
County standards.
RESOLUTION NO, 71R-324: Councilman Stephenson offered Resolution No. 71R-
324 for adoption, authorizing preparation of necessary ordinance changing
the zone on the northerly 660 feet only as reco~m~ended by the City Planning
Cor~nission, subject to those conditions listed, and further subject to com-
pletion of annexation of sUbject property to the City of Anaheim.
