MOTION CARRIED.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject
property, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area and advised that
73.205~'
City Hall~ Anaheim; California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1973; 1:30 P.M.
there are two parcels under consideration, the northernmost parcel is presently
in the R-A zone and the southernmost portion is already in the R-3 zone. The
variance requested applies to both parcels as it relates to the R-A church pro-
perty to the west.
Mr. Roberts outlined the concerns expressed by the Planning Commission
at their hearing as follows: The opposition from R-1 homeowners in the immedi-
ate vicinity; the inadequacy of the 27-foot turn around area as far as sanita-
tion and emergency vehicles are concerned; the additional number of living units
to be injected into the area and the attendant parking problems, which would
compound the already existing parking problem.
Mr. Roberts further advised that review of subject petitions for
reclassification and variance has prompted the City Planning Commission to
recommend that consideration be given to declaring a moratorium for multiple
family residential developments adjacent to single-family uses until reevaluation
of the R-2 and R-3 site development standards relating to on-site parking spaces
and density has been conducted. These suggestions are made in light of the op-
position to the proposed project expressed at the Planning Commission hearing
by the adjacent R-1 property owners to the east, as well as complaints received
from single-family homeowners living near apartments elsewhere in the City.
In addition, Mr. Roberts reported that the proposed reclassification is not in
conformance with the General Plan designation for this area which is low-medium
density; the proposed R-3 zoning is a medium density and would allow two times
the density of the R-2 zone. The City Planning Commission is concerned that
the area is over building with multiple family developments.
Councilman Pebley asked if the Applicant had indicated willingness to
adjust his plans to accommodate a lower density, to which Mr. Roberts answered
negatively.
Recognizing there is some justification to request R-3 on subject
parcel, Councilman Dutton concurred that perhaps the R-3 developments are
becoming out of balance and observed that by-requiring the Applicant to submit
an environmental impact report these problems migh~have been minimized to some
degree.
The Mayor asked if the Applicant or his Agent wished to address the
Council.
Mr. William S. Phelps, 1095 North Main Street, Orange, remarked that
there are always problems inherent to development of transitional R-3 areas
near R-1 uses. He noted that the adjoining properties are built with R-3
developments and the parking ratios are one and one-quarter and one and one-
half parking spaces per unit. He contended that the R-1 tract owners do not
always utilize their garages, thereby adding to the parking problem. This pro-
ject he advised would add another 200 feet of finished curb which would obviate
some of the parking problems.
In answer to Councilman Pebley, he stated that he was never asked by
the Planning Commission to reduce the density of subject project. He referred
to statements in the Planning Commission Minutes, alledged to be his to which
he took exception.
In addition, Mr. Phelps stated that the only requested code waiver
is to establish a two-story building within 150 feet of the church property,
the R-1 property to the east of Velare Street would not be affected as they
are more than 150 feet away. He stated it would cost an additional $10,000.00
to $12~000.0o to construct the project with a two to one parking ratio and con-
tended this would be unfair as other developers in the City have not been re-
quired to meet such a requirement.
Councilman Thom referred to the Planning Commission Minutes, noting
that one of the Commissioners had asked if the Applicant could lower density
of the project and that his answer was negative in that he had to comply with
his clients wishes. Councilman Thom thereupon read the excerpt from the
Planning Commission Minutes.
Mr. Phelps once again took exception to statements identified as his
in the Planning Commission Minutes. He remarked in regard to density, that he
73-206
City Hallt Anaheimt California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13; 1973! 1:30 P.M.
has designed to the standards and criteria set for the R-3 zone and has designed
a maximum apartment unit with more than the required square footage, as well as
two more than the required parking spaces and because of judicious planning can
build to a density of 33 units to the net acre. Since he has complied with R-3
standards, he reiterated that in his opinion it would be difficult for Council
to justify disapproval of this project. He further contended that the turn around
area he has designed is adequate for emergency and sanitation vehicles.
Councilman Pebley asked how the density of the subject apartment pro-
ject compares with those already built to the north of subject property.
Mr. Roberts, after some investigation, informed the Council that the
apartment houses to the north were developed to densities of 29.8 units per net
residential acre, whereas the subject project plans are for 34 units per net
residential acre.
Councilman Thom stated that he had no dispute with Mr. Phelps' ability
to design to R-3 standards, however he noted that the Planning Commission felt
that the property in question should be more appropriately designated R-2.
Mr. Phelps maintained that he could, by utilizing tuck-under parking,
design 33 units with two to one parking on subject property if it meant approval
or denial of the project, but that he was not given an opportunity at the Com-
mission hearing to suggest this.
The Mayor asked if anyone else in favor or opposition wished to address
the Counci.
Mrs. Josephine Moretti, 2500 West Keyes, expressed opposition to the
proposed apartment project stating that she feels that municipal government should
be reactive to the wishes of the people and noted that a petition of opposition
containing 38 signatures was presented at the Planning Commission hearing. In
her opinion, zoning action are not protective of the single-family homeowner but
rather to the benefit of the developer. She further stated that the issue before
the Council is more than just permitting another apartment house to be built,
it is the protection of her future environment which is at stake. She further
objected to the apartment houses built on Webster Avenue with the v~ry
high separation wall, which she finds extremely offensive. She urged that the
Council reevaluate the standards on which the R-2 and R-3 zones are established
as recommended by the City Planning Commission.
Councilman Dutton referred to the similar surrounding land uses and
indicated it would be difficult for Council to deny the owner of subject property
the ability to develop his parcel in a like manner. He stated that each property
owner is entitled to the highest economic use of his land.
Mrs. Moretti reiterated that the construction of additional apartment
units in her neighborhood would seriously jeopardise the quality of life in that
area. In conclusion, she indicated that a lower density project would be less
objectionable to her.
Dr. Gary Grossbard, 648 Velare Street, stated he lives directly east
of the proposed building site and voiced his objection to the proposed project
citing the parking situation and the problems encountered by the R-1 property
owners as a result of the transient population now living in apartment houses in
the area. He stated that an environmental review should be undertaken by the
City, and noted that even if a precedent has been set for R-3 in a particular
area, the City need not continue development to that density. In his opinion~
the addition o£ another apartment house project will cause further deterioration
of the neighborhood and will present both a physical and financial threat to
the single-family homes.
Mr. Ralph Lewis, 702 South Velare Street, stated he lives across the
street from subject property and his opposition is based on the additional parking
problems and traffic congestion which would result from the construction of more
apartment units. He stated that he concurs with Dr. Grossbard's comments re-
garding the proposed project.
The Mayor asked if anyone else in opposition wished to address the
Council; there being no response, offered the Applicant a few minutes for rebuttal.
73-207
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Pebley asked if the Applicant would be willing to continue
this hearing for the purpose of revising his plans to reduce the density of
equal, or less than, the apartment projects to the north and also to include
two parking spaces for each unit, so as to alleviate some of the problems.
He stated that he personally, in light of the opposition expressed by the ad-
jacent homeowners, could not vote to approve any plans of a density higher than
the apartment projects to the north or with less than two to one parking as
suggested by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Phelps indicated he would accept the two weeks continuance and
stated he would confer with his client regarding the revisions mentioned by
Councilman Pebley.
Councilman Thom expressed his opinion that any project with greater
density than R-2 criteria would not be appropriate for the area.
Councilman Stephenson felt that providing additional parking spaces
would not alleviate the problem as it is caused by people who will continue
to park on the streets rather than in the garages.
In rebuttal, Mr. Phelps reiterated that with the apartment project
the street will be finished and curbs and gutters will be installed and on-site
parking will be provided. Further he stated that the street parking problem
is not restricted to R-3 developments, but exists in R-1 areas as well.
Councilman Pebley moved that the public hearing on Reclassification
No. 72-73-28 and Variance No. 2462 be continued for three weeks to allow the
Applicant time to revise plans so that the proposed density is equal to or less
than the existing apartment projects to the north; to provide parking at a
ratio of two spaces for each dwelling unit; to enlarge the turn around area
at the rear of the project to what is deemed adequate by the Development Services
Department. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 72-73-33 - REQUEST FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT EXEMPTION STATUS: Application by Sherwood Professional Partnership, request-
ing a change in zone from R-1 to C-1 at the southeast corner of Brookhurst
Street and Niobe Avenue was submitted together with application for Exemption
Declaration Status.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution No. PC73-33,
recommended said reclassification be disapproved and that an environmental
impact report be required.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT EXEMPTION STATUS: On motion by Councilman
Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Dutton, it was the finding of the City
Council that the impact of said reclassification on the environment would be
trivial in nature and that no environmental impact report be required. MOTION
CARRIED.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts described the location of subject
property and surrounding land uses and zoning, noting that the Applicamt is
requesting change of zone on two R-1 parcels in order to establish 28 additional
parking spaces for the medical office complex located adjacent and southerly
of subject property. Mr. Roberts advised that the plans submitted indicate that
the two single-family residences will be removed and that masonry block walls
will be constructed to prevent sight intrusion into the adjacent R-1 development
in accordance with C-1 site development standards.
The zoning history of subject parcel as related by Mr. Roberts in-
dicates that a similar request was made in 1966 and at that time denial was
reconm~ended by the City Planning Commission and subsequently reclassification
disapproved by the City Council.
The Medical Center presently provides 52 parking spaces whereas the
parking required under present standards is 123 spaces. Further Mr. Roberts
7 3- 208
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1973; 1:30 P.M.
noted that the Traffic Engineer has reviewed the parking lot design submitted
and recormnended that should the reclassification be approved, the plans be re-
vised so as to have only one driveway onto Brookhurst Street.
Mr. Roberts reported that the City Planning Commission has recommended
denial of reclassification No. 72-73-33 and thereupon read the basis of said
recommendation.
Councilman Thom inquired as to how the City can assure, should subject
property be rezoned to C-i, that the Applicant would not convert it to some other
permitted use in the C-1 zone.
The City Attorney asvised that if subject property is zoned C-1 as
requested, to be used as parking for the existing offices, this would constitute
a merger of these two properties and in order to convert to some other C-1 usage
the owner would have to tear down all of the existing structures and rebuild,
which presents a fair protection against alternate C-1 usage.
The Mayor asked if the Applicant was present and wished to address the
Council.
Dr. Robert James Lamb noted the parking problem discussed in the p~e-
vious public hearing and stated that his group is, with the proposal under con-
sideration, attempting to alleviate a similar inadequate parking situation. He
indicated several changes which have occurred in the area immediately surrounding
the medical offices since the application made in 1966, specifically noting that
apartments have been built in that area. In an attempt to supply sufficient
parking, the medical group is currently leasing 33 parking spaces on a month-to-
month basis which they may lose at any time. He noted that the existance of a
law school directly south of the medical building has compounded the congested
parking situation. Dr. Lamb concluded by stating that he feels the granting of
the requested use would solve the parking problem and have the least amount of
adverse impact on the neighborhood.
Councilman Sneegas asked whether the Applicant was willing to dedicate
the frontage required for improvement of Brookhurst Street to the ultimate width.
Dr. Lamb replied that he thought this had been discussed and the medical
group is willing to dedicate the required frontage to the south of subject property
and that this had been one of the conditions of approval of the reclassification.
Further he stated that he believed there would be sufficient space to improve
the street across the entire frontage of their property without disturbing the
existing structures and that the only loss which would result would be a land-
scaped planter.
City Engineer James Maddox concurred, and stated in answer to Councilman
Pebley, that the City would replace all curbs and gutters as part of the construc-
tion project.
Mr. Richard W. Smock, Walker and Lee, 2050 Bellflower Boulevard, Long
Beach, Agemt for the Sherwood Professional Partnership addressed the Council and
offered to answer any questions regarding the existing situation or the proposal.
Councilman Dutton then asked if anyone in opposition wished to address
the Council.
Mr. William J. Connally, 2173 Niobe Drive~ stated he has been a resi-
dent of that address for over ten years and indicated on a wall map the location
of his home. He agreed that the medical center requires additional parking, but
noted that this deficiency existed when the medical offices were built and that
the group had not made any allowances for future growth. He stated that when he
purchased his home he had assumed that the neighborhood would remain residential
and con~nented that with the exception of a few homeowners near the corner of
Brookhurst Street, the majority of the property owners are long time residents
who are interested in maintaining the residential character of this area. He
referred to the ~~n presented at the Planning Commission hearing which con-
tained approximately 30 signatures in opposition.
73.209 -
City HallI Anaheiml California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1973~ 1:30 P.Mo
Additionally in support of his opposition to the proposal, he cited
the fact that the Applicants will obtain only 28 additional parking spaces
while they need many more than that number. Also, he stated that he questioned
the Applicants' motive since he considers that the value of the two houses to
be demolished to create the parking lot is too high to make this plan economi-
cally feasible. Further he stated he doubted that the medical group would go
to such expense to provide a convenience for a clientele which is obviously
already present without the parking spaces. Mro Connally commented that he
thinks this proposal is a stepping stone to further C-1 office construction on
the site, and that approval of the reclassification would set a precedent which
would eventually contribute to the transition of "strip commercial" in the area.
Mr. Geisler reiterated, in answer to Mr. Connally's concern regarding
the use of subject property other than for parking, that in order to build on
this site the owners would have to first tear down all of the existing struc
tures. As far as coming back to the Council in the future with a new proposal,
he advised that this is within anyone's right.
Mr. Connally observed that once a property is zoned for such a use
as parking, it is more easily converted to other uses than if it retained the
R-1 designation.
Councilman Pebley inquired whether subject parcels could retain the
R-1 zone and the medical group apply for conditional use permit to allow park-
ing.
Mr. Geisler advised that this would be no more guarantee to preclude
other uses than the present proposal, i.e.~ C-1 with a reStriction that it shall
be used to provide parking for the existing commercial buildings to the south.
Mrs. Carol Berggren~ 2166 Niobe Avenue, stated that her home'is two
lots removed from the proposed parking lot site. She concurred with Mr.
Connally's opinion that the present proposal to demolish the two existing homes
to provide parking is not practical and she feels that the medical group has
other plans for this property. She referred to the annoyances she already
suffers as a result of the medical office building, such as noise from air
conditioners and the fence that is falling down, and stated approval would place
her property closer to the corner jeopardizing her environment.
Mrs. Berggren felt that the present degree of maintenance and upkeep
demonstrated by the medical group is further reason to distrust their motives.
In addition, she noted that use of the two corner lots for parking will intro-
duce a larger number of automobiles onto Niobe Avenue for ingress and egress.
She related that Niobe Avenue serves as an access street for the local elemen-
tary school.
Mayor Dutton aksed if anyon~ else in opposition wished to address the
Council; there being no response offered the Applicant a few minutes for
rebuttal.
Dr. Lamb related that the medical group has rented the two homes in
question so as not to have them vacant~ and open for vandalism, which has oc-
curred in the past. In answer to the concerns expressed regarding alternate
plans for the property to be rezoned, Dr. Lamb reported that in his opinion,
the value of these two homes was over estimated, and that the medical group
would most likely be willing to sell them to Mr. Connally for approximately
$2,000.00 each, if Mr. Connally wishes to find lots and move them. He reiter-
ated that ~h~ir plan~ d~finit~ly ar~ for parking 0nly on subject pr0p~rty.
Councilman Sneegas asked specifically who would use the new parking
lot.
Dr. Lamb replied that this would depend on whether they can maintain
the lease on the property south of the law school, in which the employees are
currently asked to park°
In answer to Councilman Pebley, Dr. Lamb stated that the ownership
of the two parcels under consideration is the same as that of the medical
73-210
C. it~ Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13; 1973; 1:30 P.M.
buildings, i.e., all of the property is owned by the 17 persons who comprise
the Sherwood Medical Group.
Councilman Pebley stated that this information should suffice to assure
the homeowners that the property, once it is designated to be used for parking
in conjunction with the existing medical buildings if the reclassification is
approved, will not be used for other purposes.
Mayor Dutton closed the hearing.
Mr. Roberts advised that the Development Services Department has de-
signed some alternate layouts for the proposed parking lot which they feel are
more efficient, one of which would allow as many as 40 parking spaces instead of
the 28 as proposed, and suggested Should this be approved~ that Council add a
condition to approval of the reclassification that "prior to intro~'~ton of an
ordinance to rezone the property~ the final ~rking lot plan be submitted for re-
view and approval"°
Dr. Lamb agreed to the suggested condition.
RESOLUTION NO. 73R-88: Councilman Sneegas stated that the street widening pro-
ject would make the corner houses even more undesirable for single-family resi-
dential use,and although he shares the concern of the local residents~he feels that
the change which would occur in the neighborhood as a result of this reclassifi-
cation would not be that traumatic. He thereupon offered Resolution No. 73R-88,
authorizing the preparation of necessary ordinance, changing the zone as requested,
subject to the recommended Interdepartmental conditions with amendments thereto
as follows, and with the addition of a condition designating that subject property
is to be used for parking in conjunction with the existing medical center only
and that final parking lot plans be submitted for review and approval prior to
introduction of the ordinance:
1. That the owner(s) of subject property and the two(2) parcels to the
south, all being under the same ownership, (Sherwood Medical Center) shall deed
to the City of Anaheim a strip of land 60 feet in width from the centerline of
the street, including a 15-foot radius corner return, along Brookhurst Street from
Niobe Avenue to the south boundary of the Sherwood Medical Center for street
widening purposes.
2. That all vehicular access rights to Niobe Avenue shall be dedicated
to the City of Anaheim.
3. That the owner(s) of subject property shall pay to the City of
Anaheim the sum of 15¢ per front foot along Brookhurst Street for tree planting
purposes.
4. That a 6-foot masonry wall shall be constructed along the east pro-
perty line and to the rear of the required 3-foot wide planter strip along Niobe
Avenue; provided however, that the wall shall be designed in such a way as to
provide corner cut-offs for adequate sight distance at the northeast and north-
west corners of the property.
5. That any parking area lighting proposed shall be down-lighting of
a maximum height of 6 feet, which lighting shall be directed away from the pro-
perty lines to protect the residential integrity of the area.
6. That drainage of subject property shall be disposed of in a manner
that is satisfactory to the City Engineer.
7. That appropriate water assessment fees as determined by the Director
of Public Utilities shall be paid to the City of Anaheim prior to the issuance
of a building permit.
8. That a final parking plan shall be approved by the Development
§ervices Department, and any landscaped areas in the parking area shall be pro-
tected with 6-inch high concrete curbs, and concrete wheel stops shall be pro-
vided for parking spaces.
9. Prior to the introduction of an ordinance rezoning subject property,
Condition Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 8, above mentioned, shall be completed. The provi-
sions or rights granted by this resolution shall become null and void by action
of the City Council unless said conditions are complied with within one year from
the date hereof or such further time as the City Council may grant.
10. That Condition Nos. 4, 5, and 6, above mentioned, shall be complied
with prior to final building and zoning inspections.
11. That this reclassification is granted subject to the provision that
subject property shall be used only for parking facilities for the medical center
immediately to the south.

.qTREFT SALE OF PORNOGRAPHIC PUBLICATIONS: Mrs. Ann M. Nielsen, 2408 East Underhill
Avenue, addressed the City Council and related that her eight-year old son
recently brought into their l~ome a newspaper publication entitled "Swing",
which he had received through another minor who had purchased same on the
street through a vending machine. She advised that the publication had a
notation printed on tl,e front: "Not to be sold to minors," and expressed
amazement and indignation that such materials are sold on the streets of
Anaheim through vending machines where there is no control of who purchase
t-he publication.
She further noted that the City of Anaheim takes pride in being the
home of Disneyland and in its family-oriented reputation, which she finds
congruous when newspapers such as the Free Press, Swing and Mate are sold on
the street in front of reputable businesses. She stated that she is vehemently
opposed to such materials being sold on the streets where children are able t~o
see and purchase them.
She advised that subsequent to this incident with her son, she has
contacted the Anaheim Police Department and signed a complaint against the
publisher, which action she intends to pursue. She stated she is willing to
cooperate in the removal of these items from the streets to the extent of
allowing her minor son to purchase such material for evidence, if it might
help. She asked whether the Council has the ability to take any action which
would remove these items from vending machines on the City's streets.
City Attorney Joseph B. Geisler advised that the Council could not
order the removal of only those vending machines which sell the offensive
literature, as that would be considered discriminatory, but that if they wish
to they could ban all machines which sell newspapers.
Councilman Pebley related a personal incident which illustrated this
fact, and also referred to the lawsuit currently in progress against the City
Council of Huntington Beach for their attempt to remove such material from the
streets of that City.
Sergeant Davenport of the Anaheim Police Department stated that the
suggestion made by Mrs. Nielsen that her minor son be used to purchase this
material for evidence would not be of any help since such a case could not go
to court; a minor child cannot be used as a police agent. Further, if a
juvenile does purchase a paper accidentally, the procedure would be to submit
the evidence to the City Attorney or District Attorney who would then submit it
for judicial review in order to assess whether or not the literature is considered
"harmful." Sergeant Davenport further noted that at the present time these mater-
ials have been removed from the vending machine racks and that there is a case
pending in Superior Court.
Mr. Geisler reminded Mrs. Nielsen that the Supreme Court, according to
recent decisions, does not consider such material as pornographic. He advised
Mrs. Nielsen, if she wishes to truly express opposition to the type of materials
available on the streets, to write to the Supreme Court Justices and to her
Senator and Congressmen stating that she wishes Federal Legislation in this vein,
and to support ballot propositions such as the one which failed in the November,
1972 Election.
REQUEST - EXTENSION OF TIME TO SIGN PERMIT - VILLAGER APARTMENTS: Request of Mr.
George M. Supple, property supervisor, Pacific Plan, dated January 26, 1973, for
a six-month extension to an existing sign permit for the Villager Apartments, 2421
East Ball Road, was submitted for Council consideration together with report from
Development Services Department r~commending denial.
Mr. Supple stated he is requesting the six-month extension of time for
Sign Permit No. 1443 due to the high vacancy factor experienced in this particular
apartment complex. Further, the extension would allow time to submit a proposal
to combine the subject 170-square foot sign with the permitted 20-square foot on-
site identification sign.
Councilman Sneegas observed that the granting of such extension to this
petitioner would generate similar requests throughout the City and that the
Council should support the established sign policy.

COST/FEE STUDY ZONING APPLICATIONS: The City Clerk advised that a letter has been
received from the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, dated March 12, 1973, requesting
73"222
C£t¥ Hall, Anaheim, California = COUNCIL MINUTES = March 13, 1973, 1:30 P.M.
That a decision on the Cost/Fee Study be postponed for a period of 30 days, to
allow the Chamber time to present its position in this matter.
Councilman Stephenson moved that consideration of the addendum to the
Cost/Fee Study be continued to April 24, 1973. Councilman Thom seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Councilman Pebley returned to Council Chambers. (4:20 P.M.)
Mr. Gayland Compton, representing the Anaheim Board of Realtors,
addressed the Council and stated that their review of the Cost/Fee Study and
addendum thereto, has resulted in the recommendation that the City Council make
use of the current Master Plan, or if this is not feasible, then modify or adopt
a general plan which would be conducive to proper zoning for the City to elimi-
nate the necessity for excessive zoning applications. He further stated that
the Board of Realtors acknowledges that no Master Plan can be all-encompassing
and therefore they request the Council in considering increase in zoning appli-
cation fees, make some allowance for the small property owner.
Mr. Compton stated that the Board of Realtors feel that taxpayers
subsidy of Development Services Department is justifiable to a point, as the
services provided yield benefits to the citizens in general, however they
realize that in some instances costs become prohibitive and fee increases are
necessary. They feel however that the increases proposed in the Cost/Fee Study,
i.e., $400.00 per reclassification plus $1.00 an acre, regardless of the size of
the parcel, will penalize the small property owner. They urged that considera-
tion be given to a graduated or progressive fee scale, based on a smaller value
as opposed to a larger value. Further he offered the services of the Anaheim
Board of Realtors to cooperate with the Development Services staff in formula-
tion of an equitable and practical proposal for increasing the zoning applica-
tion fees.
Councilman Pebley remarked that a reclassification ultimately benefits
the individual property owner and inquired why the Board of Realtors feels tax-
payers in general should subsidize costs involved in such actions.
Mr. Compton answered that the Board endorses the concept that Develop-
ment Services Department is a required Municipal service, similar to the fire,
police and other services provided the citizens by Municipal government, and
therefore a portion of the cost should be borne by the general taxpayer; however
they recognize that there are instances where costs become prohibitive and they
concur that increases are required to defray this. He stated that the proposed
fee increase for reclassification to $400.00 plus $1.00 per acre would produce
an inequitable situation in that a developer with one small parcel will pay
$401.00 for his reclassification application and the developer who applies for
reclassification of 50 acres will pay only $450.00, whereas the Development
Services Department would spend a proportionately greater amount of time on
the 50 acre reclassification.
Councilman Thom suggested that an inverse scale be applied, forcing
the charge upward as the amount of land increases.
Mr. Compton outlined some other ideas discussed by the Board of
Realtors which might be employed to arrive at equitable fees, which although
they expect to be increased, they feel should be scaled proportionately to
the size of the project.
Mr. Mike Garan, member of the Board of Directors, Anaheim Board of
Realtors, advised that in the discussions held jointly with the Planning staff,
th~ Anaheim Board of Roaltor~ ~u~g~ted that the Council cons~er greater imple-
mentation of the Master Plan and the possibility of expanding the definitions
of permitted activities in each zone, and especially up-dating these definitions
to 20th-century uses. It was felt that this would alleviate the problem by
decreasing the necessity for variances and conditional use permits for the
modern day uses, and as result the work load for Development Services Department,
City Planning Commission and City Council would be reduced.
VARIANCE NO, 2144: The City Council at their meeting held February 20, 1973 continued
to March 6, 1973, and again to this date, for a full Council, the matter pertaining
to Variance No. 2144 on which extension of time was denied, to allow Mr. Margulieux
an opportunity to consult with the owners of the property to obtain authorization
73-223
~ Anaheim-z_California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 1319~__~_731:30 P.M.
to apply for proper zoning, to relocate and rebuild the produce stand, and
further to obtain necessary dedication for required street widening.
Conditions reported March 6, 1973, on which dedication would be given
were read, being briefly: that Mr. Herman Margulieux be allowed to continue
and operate his business as a produce stand for a period of 24 months and that
no improvements be constructed on the property (dedicated to the City) for and
during this 24 month period.
Mr. Scott G. Raymond, Attorney representing the Applicant and owners
of the property, again advised of his possession of the deed, valued by Cedric
White to be $45,000.00 for which they request Mr. Margulieux be allowed to con-
tinue the use. He thereupon referred to petitions in favor formerly filed il-
lustrating the desire of the community that the produce stand be allowed.
As to the question of improvements, he advised that this could pos-
sibly be an impediment for the business, and for that reason they were asking
that no construction be done in front of the stand. However they would have
no objections to other construction that the City may want to do along
Cerritos Avenue.
Mr. Raymond reported that Mr. Margulieux will close the business with-
in two years, or if the Council says "no" today, he will close it within the
time limitation established by the Council and that this intended action is
based on the advice of his doctor.
He again stated they ask continuance of what is in existence, and
recognizing there have been problems, they were willing to do what they have
to for the extension of time to the variance.
Mayor Dutton asked if Mr. Raymond was aware of the fact that a con-
dition agreed to by the property owners three years ago, that of dedication,
had not yet been complied with.
Mr. Raymond replied in the affirmative, and advised that the Rannows
were under the impression that giving of the property to the City could result
in immediate cost to them for improvements.
Mayor Dutton stated that this was never his understanding of the
situation, it was his understanding that improvements would not have been re-
quired until the property was developed. He noted also that the Rannows re-
quested the City several times to repair a drainage problem which could not be
done without the easement she had agreed to give, because the City cannot go
onto private property and make improvements. As to the petitions, Mayor Dutton
further advised that in contacting some of the signers of the petition it was
learned that various stories had been told, such as "the City was just arbi-
trarily putting them out of business"
Councilman Sneegas again stated; that he did not want to put Mr.
Margulieux out of business, but he wanted to see the project brought up to Code;
the dedication made so that the traffic problem at the corner of Euclid and
Cerritos can be eliminated, and eliminate the traffic problem caused by ingress
and egress to and from the stand. To continue another two years would not
solve any of the existing problems.
Mr. Geisler noted that according to the statements of Mr. Raymond,
another travel lane could be installed on Cerrit0s Avenue and the intersection
could be signalized with perhaps a left-hand turn lane on Euclid Street. It
was further his understanding that another travel lane could be put on Euclid
Street in front of the produce stand as long as it would not interfere with the
business (to this Mr. Raymond agreed). Mr. Raymond reported that they would go
on record agreeing to pay for any traffic signing necessary to alleviate the
situation.
Mr. Maddox, City Engineer, reported it was necessary to provide for
another 12 foot travel lane on Euclid Street which would place the travel lane
7.90 feet from the building and perhaps the signing "right turn in only" --
''right turn out only" and barricading, control of traffic might be possible.
73~-~24
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Thom noted the Council had two opportunities, one,to accept
the dedication with the conditions or, two, to close the business and not get the
dedication within the foreseeable future. As a result the street would never be
widened unless the City acquired it by eminent domain.
Mr. Raymond was of the opinion that whatever work the City did at the
corner of Euclid Street and Cerritos Avenue (curbs and gutters - signalization)
could be assessed to the owners of property abutting the improvement as well as
any work that might be done along Cerritos Avenue. As result the property owners
could and would be faced with the obligation of paying some money for the immed-
iate alleviation of some of the traffic problems.
Councilman Thom moved that the conditional offer made by Mr Raymond
be accepted. '
There being no second to the above motion, the Mayor declared the
motion dead.
Councilman Sneegas moved the extension of time be denied.
Further discussion was held, and Councilman Sneegas stated his concern
was, with the additional travel lane on Euclid Street, there still would be only
7 feet from the stand to the roadway, and at the present time, looking north from
the parking lot the view is blocked by an embankment and brush.
Mr. Raymond agreed to eliminate the embankment and remove the trees
blocking the view.
Mr. Margulieux advised (from the audience) that this could not be agreed
to according to a State traffic inspector.
Mayor Dutton noted also that the stand was not conforming to the site
development standards as to the treatment in caring for storage and trash.
To further clarify Mr. Margulieux' position, Mr. Raymond reported that
Mr. Margulieux was going out of business in two years or in sixty days, and for
him to tear down an existing structure and build another to conform to Code would
be building something of a more permanent nature for a variance or use of only
two years duration.
Councilman Stephenson reported that at the last meeting, Mr. Margulieux
agreed to the closing of the existing stand and building a new one.
Mr. Raymond advised that this was correct and that he also advised the
City Attorney's Office accordingly. However, at the same time, Mr. Margulieux'
physician was advising him to phase out of the business so the situation changed,
for health reasons, between the time that Mr. Margulieux made that commitment and
now.
Mayor Dutton noted that someone else could operate the business and
called attention to his family which he understood would take over and operate
the business.
Mr. Raymond stated that this was not true, the children were going on
to school and did not want to continue in the business.
Councilman Stephenson noted that this would not rule out someone else
taking over~ that someone else may be very interested in continuing the operation.
At the conclusion of the discussion Councilman Sneegas offered another
motion as a possible compromise, and moved that the action taken February 20,
1973, be rescinded and that extension of time to Variance No. 2144 be granted for
one year to give him a chance to phase out the business on condition that the
dedication be made immediately, and that they are to solve what traffic problems
they can as far as ingress and egress is concerned. Councilman Dutton seconded
the motion. To this motion, Councilman Thom voted "no". MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Raymond thereupon thanked the Council for their consideration.

will never give the City the required dedication.

SPHERE OF INFLUENCE - CITY OF ORANGE: Mr. Robert Davis advised that communication
has been received from the Local Agency Formation Commission relative to deter-
mination of a Sphere of Influence for the City of Orange with notification that
hearings before that body will be held March 14, 1973.
Mr. Davis advised that this communication indicates common boundaries
between the City of Orange and the City of Anaheim, as established by mutual
agreement over the years, relative to the Santa Ana River as the easterly
boundary and the ridge line as the north/south boundary extending easterly
into the Santa Aha Canyon area, are the boundary areas recommended as the
Sphere of Influence as it affects the City of Anaheim.
Councilman Pebley was of the opinion that the property owners
involved along the affected boundaries should have some voice in the deter-
mination of the Sphere of Influence and in which jurisdiction their property
would be.
Mr. Dick Doyle, Vice-President, Anaheim Hills, Inc., outlined the
problem which exists in the southeast area of their property where the geo-
graphically delineated ridge route boundary stops, which has resulted in one
of their tract plans having boundaries in both the Cities of Orange and
Anaheim. He stated they would like to have this problem resolved, and the
sphere of influence determined where there is no ridge line, as it presents
insurmountable problems in development.
The City Council indicated that they feel that in those areas where
no definitive geographical boundaries, such as the ridge line, exist that the
individual property owners should be consulted as to their preference in the
boundary determination. In addition, the City Council requested that a repre-
sentative be present at the Local Agency Formation Commission hearing to re-
late their position in this matter.
POSITION STATEMENT - §OUTR~RN CALIFORNIA EDISON CONSTRUCTION OF 500 AND 220 Kit
..TRANSMISSION LINES: In accordance with recommendations of the Utilities Director,
on motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Stephenson, the City
Council adopted the following position statement:
POSITION STATEMENT OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM
WITH REGARD TO THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY PLANS
TO CONSTRUCT 500 AND 220 KV TRANSMISSION LINES
"The Southern California Edison Company plans to construct a
500 and 220 kv transmission system to be designated the Fry Mountain-
Mira Loma, Fry Mountain-Vincent and Mira Loma-Serrano 500 kv transmission
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - March 13~ 1973~ 1:30 P.M.
lines, and the Villa Park-Serrano 500 kv transmission lines. A portion
of the proposed new construction will be located within the City of
Anaheim. Construction is scheduled to start about October 1, 1974, and
is expected to be completed about January 1, 1976.
The City of Anaheim is interested in strengthening the trans-
mission capacity between Southern California Edison's Lugo Substation
and the City of Anaheim's Lewis Substation in order that the maximum
transmission capacity will be available between these substations. This
should make possible transmission of power for the City of Anaheim over
these Southern California Edison Company lines in accordance with the
"Principles of Interconnected Operation" agreed to by the City of Anaheim
and the Southern California Edison Company. To this end, Anaheim has an
interest in these transmission lines even though the lines will not be
constructed entirely within the City of Anaheim.
The City of Anaheim is satisfied that the Southern California
Edison Company has exercised good planning practices in its determina-
tion of routing of these transmission lines. Anaheim is also satisfied
that Edison is making a strong effort to minimize undesirable environ-
mental impacts because of construction of these facilities. Anaheim is
aware that underground construction of these high voltage transmission
lines is not practical at this time. Anaheim further recognizes the
desirability of following existing transmission line corridors with new
construction as a means of reducing the overall environmental impact on
the communities through which the lines must be constructed. Because
of its electric utility involvement, Anaheim is aware of the need to
construct transmission facilities in a timely manner in order to meet
the increasing electrical power needs of the electrical consumers.
Anaheim supports the Southern California Edison Company in its
efforts to secure the needed approvals to construct these transmission
facilities".
MOTION CARRIED.
ORANGE COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT - BUS STOPS: The Assistant City Manager reported that
proposal has been received for the establishment of 462 bus stops within the City
of Anaheim in conjunction with operation of the Orange County Transit District
Bus Lines which are scheduled to begin service April 13, 1973 on the Harbor
Boulevard route and April 23, 1973 on all other routes.
Mr. Davis advised that according to the agreement in effect between the
City and the O.C.T.D., the City is responsible for installing and maintaining bus
stops. The location of the proposed stops has been reviewed by the City Traffic
Engineer and he is generally in agreement with these. The O.C.T.D. is to furnish
the signs and the City to install same and perform the necessary painting of street
curbs.
Mr. Davis reported that the estimated cost for labor and material re-
quired for bus stop designations is $15,000.00 which was not included in the
1972-73 Budget, and he therefore requested that this sum be transferred from the
Council Contingency Fund. He enumerated the proposed routes to be served by
the O.C.T.D.
Councilman Thom moved that installation of the 462 designated bus stops
proceed and that a sum not to exceed $15,000.00 be transferred from Council Con-
tingency Fund for the associated labor and material costs. Councilman Stephenson
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED,
"SAVE MINERAL KING" MARCH - APRIL 14~ 1973: Request of Jerrold M. Klatt, on behalf

AMENDMENT TO GREENBELT COMMISSION AGREEMENT: Councilman Sneegas reported that an
amendment has been recommended to Page No. 2, Line No. 9, of the Joint Powers
Agreement to establish the Santa Ana River and Santiago Creek Greenbelt Com-
mission~ relating to powers to lease and dispose of real property, which would
be amended to read "to lease and dispose of office space" which minimizes
the powers of the Commission. '
On motion by Councilman Sneegas, seconded by Councilman Pebley, the
aforementioned amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement establishing the Green-
belt Commission was approved. MOTION CARRIED.
PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE STATE - COUNCILMAN PEBLEY: On motion by Councilman Thom,
seconded by Councilman Sneegas, permission was granted to Councilman Pebley,
to leave the State for 90 days commencing April 12, 1973. MOTION CARRIED.
INCREASE IN RETIRED PUBLIC EMPLOYEES BENEFITS (SB-135): Councilman Thom asked
whether staff had any recommendations to present concerning the request made
by the Retired Public Employees Association, that the Council implement SB-135
and take affirmative action to provide increased benefits to retired employees.
Mr. Davis assured the Council that preparation of the report is in
progress and will probably be presented for Council action next week.

Pebley moved to recess to Executive Session. Councilman Thom seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED. (5:25 P.M.)

(5:45 P.M.)
GOLF PRO - ANAHEIM HILLS GOLF COURSE: Councilman Sneegas offered Resolution No.
73R-99 for adoption, authorizing employment of Mr. Robert Killion as Golf
Professional for the Anaheim Hills Golf Course.
Councilman Stephenson expressed his opposition to accepting Mr. Killion
as a golf pro on the basis that he is not a member of the P.G.A. and consequently
the course would not be recognized as a P.G.A. approved c6urse. He stated that
the Anaheim Hills Golf Course has been a first class project and he would not
be in favor of dropping standards.
Councilman Dutton stated he has failed to see a single benefit or
advantage to having a P.G.A. Golf Pro as far as the City is concerned.
Councilman Pebley inquired as to whether Mr. Killion intends to be-
come a member of the P.G.A. in the near future.
Mr. Lloyd Trapp, Recreation Supervisor, introduced Mr. Robert Killion
to the Council.
Mr. Killion stated that he is a qualified G.P.A., Class A at this
time and has his membership in P.G.A. but this will not be a Class A member-
ship. He advised that under the rules of the P.G.A. he would be required, in
order to obtain Class A membership, to have worked with a Class A, which was
not the case, however his three years of experience will apply and he will be
immediately qualified for membership upon attending the two required P.G.A.
business schools. He estimated that he could become a Class "A" P.G.A. member
in twelve months if that association approves his contract. Regardless who
the pro may be, the Association must approve the contract for the course to
be recognized as a P.G.A. course.
In answer to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Killion assured the Council
that if the contract between himself and the City is acceptable to the Southern
California Chapter, the Anaheim Hills Golf Course will be an approved P.G.A.
course from the date of that contract. He further stated that he could fore-
see no reasons for disapproval of the contract.
