City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - August 31~ 1971~ 1:30 P.M
Councilman Thom stated he was quoted by the Anaheim Bulletin, and
did not know if it was verbatim but the text of the article was a discussion
between himself and the reporter, and the general context of the article is
as he probably said it. He further reported his opposition to the subject
project was no secret and he had been vocal and vociferous about some or all
portions of it. He advised that since the inception of the project he has
been compiling statistics on the issue from different sources, some within
the City, and must remain confidential for a period of time. He assured the
City Council that in the near future he will make available the source of
some of the information obtained from within the City.
Councilman Thom stated that the main thrust of his opposition to
the golf course has been the order of priority to its importance; in his
opinion, it was a misplaced priority in that there were other things more
important to this City that should be accomplished before this particular
golf course is considered. He advised that he has never said that the golf
course was no good; he was saying that it was the wrong point of time to de-
velop it.
In conclusion, Councilman Thom advised he will continue to oppose
the golf course and will make available his source of information as soon
as he can protect the people from which it comes and the information can be
fully substantiated.
Councilman Dutton again stated that his complaint was that the in-
formation in the article was not factual.
Councilman Thom thought most of the information was factual and
claimed the general context of the article.
Councilman Stephenson left the meeting. (4:30 P.M.).
Councilman Dutton offered copies of records purportedly to be
"hidden costs" and further advised it incumbent upon a Councilman to sub-
stantiate remarks made to the press.
Councilman Thom replied that this was a matter of interpretation
and the people with whom he had quite a bit of contact agreed with his po-
sition on this issue. In his opinion, the article was responsible.
ADJOURNMENT~ Councilman Pebley moved to adjourn. Councilman Roth seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.

Liberio, and H. Budlong, requesting a change of zone from R-A to R-2-5,000
on property extending from the south side of the Riverside Freeway to Santa
Ana Canyon Road, east of Imperial Highway.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-155,
recommended R-2-5,000 zoning be denied, and R-1 zoning approved for said
reclassification, subject to conditions.
The Deputy City Clerk suggested that inasmuch as the Council had
expressed a desire to consider Reclassification Nos. 70-71-49 and 71-72-5,
both scheduled on the September 14, 1971 Agenda, the Council may wish to
continue subject reclassification to that date, along with Tentative Tract
No. 7419, Revision No. 2, and Tentative Tract No. 7470, Revision No. 1,
which were to be presented in conjunction with said reclassification.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts advised that Mr. Spehar, one
of the Applicants, had stated this morning that he had no objection to con-
tinuing this item to September 14, 1971. C.J. Queyrel, representing Ap-
plicants J. Liberio and H. Budlong, advised that they also concurred with
such action.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
Reclassification No. 70-71-53, Tentative Tract No. 7419, Revision No. 2,
and Tentative Tract No. 7470, Revision No. 1 were continued to September
14, 1971, 1:30 P.M. MOTION CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 71-72-7~ VARIANCE NO. 2283~ AND CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 1250: Submitted by Bernardo Yorba, requesting a change of zone
from R-A to C-1 (Portion 2), to establish a shopping center, a theatre
(Portions 1 and 2) and an automobile service station within 75 feet of a
residential zone (Portion 2) at the southwest corner of Santa Aha Canyon
Road and the future extension of Imperial Highway, with waivers of:
a. Minimum number of off-street parking stalls (Portions 1 and 2)
b. Requirement that service stations are limited to those sites
at the intersection of two arterial highways. (Portion 2)
71- 548
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 7, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-152,
recommended said reclassification be approved, subject to conditions.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-153,
granted said variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. ~hat this variance is granted subject to the completion of Re-
classification Nos. 64-65-64 and 71-72-7.
2. That subject property shall be developed substantially in ac-
cordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim,
marked Exhibit Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 filed with Reclassification No.
71-72-7.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-154,
recommended said cond~ional use permit be granted, subject to the following
conditions:
1. That this conditional use permit is granted subject to the com-
pletion of Reclassification Nos. 64-65-64 and 71-72-7 and Variance No. 2283.
2. That subject property shall be developed substantially in ac-
cordance with adopted Service Station Minimum Site Development Standards.
3. That subject property shall be developed substantially in ac-
cordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim,
marked Exhibit Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, filed with Reclassification
No. 71-72-7.
4. That building plans for the signing of the service station,
and for the proposed readerboard for the theater, in the event it is built,
shall be submitted to the Development Services Department for approval.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject
property, existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and briefed the
evidence submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission.
Mr. Roberts added that Portion 1 of subject property presently has
a Resolution of Intent to C-1 zoning (Reclassification No. 64-65-64) and
the Applicant has expressed a desire to now have the ordinance read on that
property.
Referring to the variance application, he noted that the City Plan-
ning Commission had granted the waiver of required parking spaces on the ba-
sis the proposed parking would be adequate without the theater, and if the
theater was constructed most of the commercial shops would be closed at the
time the theatre was in operation; also, that the City Planning Commission
had determined it would not be appropriate to impose all of the Scenic Cor-
ridor regulations on the proposed development for the following reasons:
a. Leases with major tenants have been recorded for a consider-
able length of time and imposing Scenic Corridor regulations would require
renegotiation.
b. Overall deviation from Scenic Corridor setback requirements
is minimal and extensive landscaping and berming along Santa Ana Canyon
Road and Imperial Highway would help meet the basic intent of the Scenic
Corridor concept.
c. Quality of proposed development.
d. No precedent set, since each request should be considered on
its own merits to insure maintaining the Scenic Corridor concept.
Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicant or his Agent was present and
wished to address the Council.
Bernardo Yorba, Applicant, thanked the Development Services Depart-
ment staff and City Administration for their assistance and cooperation on
the proposed development.
Gerald Stack, E1 Toro, representing the developer of the shopping
center, stated his company was anxious to comply with the City Planning Com-
mission recommendations if the Council approved the applications; however,
71-549
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 7, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
he requested that the 180-day compliance requirement be changed to one year
to allow more time to get the project under way.
Mr. Murdoch suggested there may be some conditions, such as dedica-
tion along Imperial Highway, that may be necessary before a year since street
improvement on that highway is in progress at this time and right-of-way mast
be obtained before the work can be completed.
Mr. Stack stated they are prepared to dedicate right-of-way at any
time the City desires.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in op-
position; there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Mr. Roberts suggested the Council may wish to include a condition
to the Reclassification, as has been done with other recent applications,
that the City Council reserves the right to delete or amend the assumption
of landscape maintenance in the event Council policy changes.
Mr. Yorba reminded the Council the Planning Cormnission had recom-
mended that all City of Anaheim utilities in connection with this proposed
development be placed underground.
RESOLUTION NO. 71R-396: Councilman Pebley offered Resolution No. 71R-396
for adoption, authorizing preparation of necessary ordinance changing the
zone as requested, subject to the following conditions recommended by the

PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 71-72-9- Submitted by Orval M. Brown, request-
ing a change of zone from R-1 to C-1 on property located on the east side of
Knott Avenue, north of Cerritos Avenue.
The City Planning Con~aission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-161,
recommended said reclassification be disapproved.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject pro-
perty, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and briefed the
evidence submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission.
He further noted that the Planning Commission recommended disapproval
on the basis that the proposal is not in conformance with the General Plan

PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 71-72-10 AND VARIANCE NO. 2285: Submitted
by Alan G. Chapin, requesting a change of zone from R-A to R-1 on the west
side of Miraloma Avenue, north of La Palma Avenue, bounded on the west by
Sunkist Way,and on the north by the Riverside Freeway, with waivers of:
a. Minimum front setback, Lots 5 and 6.
b. Minimum lot width.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-163,
denied said variance, and pursuant to Resolution No. PC71-162 recon~nended
said reclassification be approved, subject to the following conditions:
t. That a final tract map of subject property shall be submitted
to and approved by the City Council and then be recorded in the office of the
Orange County Recorder.
2. That the owner(s) of subject property shall pay to the City of

71-552
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 7~ 1971~ 1:30 P.M.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject pro-
perty, the existing uses and zoning in the in~nediate area, and advised that
this property is a triangular-shaped remnant parcel which was created at the
time the Sunkist-Miraloma overcrossing was established, and the property has
maximum depth of from 10 feet at the southernmost extremity to approximately
150 feet at the widest point, with lot widths proposed at 50 feet to 62 feet.
He added that the Pl amning Cormnission had felt the R-1 zoning was appropriate
but that the property should be developed according to the setback and lot-size
requirements of that zone to assure the least number of persons would be sub-
jected to the environment created by the overpass and freeway.
In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Roberts stated he did not be-
lieve the City Planning Con, mission would have approved R-2-5,000 zoning on
subject property since it would be an even higher density; that regular R-1
development would result in one less lot than proposed.
Councilman Roth expressed concern that property located in such
areas usually is left vacant, and asked that the developer address the Coun-
cil.
C.J. Queyrel, Anacal Engineering Company, Agent, stated he felt the
location of the property created a hardship, and thus the requested variance
would be appropriate. Referring to the concern of the City Planning Commis-
sion relative to the environment created by the overpass, he stated that since
the overpass is elevated about 20 feet above subject property it would not be
too detrimental to the residents there. Mr. Queyrel advised that prior to the
rerouting of Sunkist Street (now Miraloma Avenue) subject property was a part
of the mobile home park site across Miraloma Avenue. He asked that the 20-foot
setback waiver request pertain only to Lot 5, since according to Code, Lot 6
is allowed a 12 or 15-foot setback, and thus no waiver is required for that
lot. Mr. Q~eyrel also advised that they have requested the City accept dedi-
cation of about 200 feet of the end strip of subject property for landscaping,
which would be maintained by the City.
In reply to Council questioning, Mr. Queyrel advised that although
it is difficult to construct the required 1,525-square foot home on these lots,
a waiver is not being requested at this time; however, if the property subse-
quently is sold the ultimate developer may request such a waiver.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in favor
of subject application.
June Simpson, 2517 East Romneya Drive, on the northwest corner of
Romneya Drive and Sunkist Way, advised she had lived adjacent to the Freeway
for 11 years and had no objection to it, although she questioned whether it
would be possible to erect a home on the northernmost lot of subject property,
directly across from her property. She asked what now would happen to the tem-
tative offer of the City to return to her the 20 feet of property along the
east boundary formerly used for Sunkist Way and north of Romneya Drive.
Alan G. Cbapin, Applicant, advised that that 20 feet now belongs
to Mrs. Simpson since the City Council had vacated that property, also re-
turning to him that portion of the street adjoining his property at that point.
Mrs. Sirapson stated she was in favor of R-1 zoning on subject property,
as long as the houses were well constructed and would object to any lesser zon-
ing~
Mayor Patton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in oppo-
sition; there being no response, declared the hearing closed.

FURTHER CLARIFICATION - ABANDONMENT NO. 69-29A - SETBACK AND LANDSCAPING REQUIRE-
MENTS: Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts. advised that Karl Sator, owner of cer-
tain property covered by Abandonment No. 69-29A, on a portion of Blue Gum
Street, between Orange and Santa Ana Streets, had requested permission to
again address the Council to obtain further clarification of the terms of
the Abandonment ordered September 29, 1970, and clarified October 13, 1970,
relative to variance proceedings and the 10-foot landscape requirement. He
added that curbing already has been installed 53 feet from the centerline in
compliance with regulations for a primary street, as Blue Gum Street origin-
ally was designated; that the street now has been designated a secondary
street, requiring the curbing only 45 feet from the centerline and Mr. Sator
is requesting to utilize this 8-foot area as part of the 10-foot landscap-
ing requirement without moving the existing curb.
He recounted the discussions that had taken place the two previous
times the Abandonment was considered and advised that the October 13, 1970
Council Minutes stated "The intention was for initiation of any necessary
variance proceedings regarding building setback only, and did not include
waiver of the 10-foot minimum landscape requirement."
Mr. Roberts advised that subsequent to the October 13, 1970 meeting,
the Development Services Staff had prepared a plot plan showing how the pro-
perty could be developed, leaving the property line where it presently is lo-
cated, 53 feet from the centerline of Blue Gum Street, and still be able to
provide all of the necessary parking spaces for the size building Mr. Sator
proposed to erect. He thereupon presented copies of the plot plan to the
Council.
Mr. Sat0r was invited to address the Council.
Mr. Sator stated he planned to erect an office building on his
property and desired a variance on the 10-foot landscaping requirement
to allow him to leave the existing curb where it is and use the abandoned
8 feet now containing a sidewalk and parkway as a part of his 10-foot land-
scaped area, by removing the sidewalk. (He indicated his proposed develop-
ment and improvements on a large plot plan which was not filed for the re-
cord.)
Mr. Roberts stated that the abandonment proceedings of the 8-foot
right-of-way were co-~!tional and effective only when street improvements
that now e~s~ ar ~,::'~'.~truc~ed to ~eet secondary street width standards.

City Hall, Anaheim, California o COUNCIL MINUTES - September 7, 1971, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Sator stated that his developer desires to get started on con-
struction of the building as soon as possible since they already have a ten-
ant. He requested that the City Council allow him to use the 8-foot right-
of-way as part of his landscape requirement without having to go to the ex-
pense of moving the existing curbing, and suggested the Council could make
a stipulation that only landscaping would be allowed in that 8-foot area.
Councilman Pebley suggested that, even though it is not City pol-
icy to move such existing curbing, this could be one instance where it might
be possible. He added that he also would prefer to leave the existing 4-foot
sidewalk in and allow Mr. Sator to have only 4 feet of landscaping in the
8 feet of abandoned right-of-way.
He recommended the issue be held over for one week for further
study and a recommendation by the City Manager.
By general Council consent, further clarification of Abandonment
No. 69-29A was continued to the September 14, 1971 meeting.

WALNUT CANYON REgERVOIR REPAIRS - DAMES & MOORE CONTRACT: The City Manager ad-
vised that the contract with Dames & Moore (April 6, 1971) for soil consult-
ing services in connection with repair of an area of Walnut Canyon Dam was
extended July 20, 1971, because of some changes the State made in specifica-
tions; however, the estimate of the extent of the additional work needed was
short of the actual work being done. He thereupon recommended the contract
be extended an additional $2,500.00, to make the total contract for an amount
not to exceed $16,500.00.
On motion by Councilman Stephenson, seconded by Councilman Roth,
,~x[ension of the Dames & Moore contract was authorized, as recommended by
~:he City Manager. MOTION CARRIED.

AMUSEMENT DEVICES PERMIT - ANAHEIM POOL HALL: Action on the application of Laird
Dean Hoskins, for amusement devices permit to install 2 small pool tables, 3
large pool tables, and 10 poker-size card tables at Anaheim Pool Hall, 108
North Anaheim Boulevard was deferred to this meeting from the August 31, 1971
meeting, to allow for further investigation by the Anaheim Police Department.
The City Manager reported that investigation has been completed and
the owner has been made fully aware as to what is permitted in his establish-
ment under the provisions of the Code.

size" be deleted in reference to table size if a permit is approved. He also
submitted the following list of games Mr. Hoskins has stated would be played
in his establishment and requested approval of these games: Knock Ru~ml,y, Gin
Rummy, Hearts, Bridge, Pinochle, Pitch, Cribbage, Chess, Checkers and Ping

FINAL APPLICATION - EMERGENCY EMPLOYMENT ACT/SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET ALLOCATION: Mr.
Murdoch presented a report to the Council, outlining the final application
for the Emergency Employment Act Program (also called PEP) which now is ready
for submission to the Department of Labor.
He reviewed the various projects anticipated to be carried out with
funds from this program and advised that additional budget allocations of ap-
proximately $300,000.00 probably will be necessary to carry out the proposed
program. He requested that at this time Council authorize a supplemental
budget allocation of only $200,000.00 of this estimated amount to accomplish
the proposed street maintenance program, adding that additional allocations
may be necessary at a later date after the needs are more clearly defined.
Councilman Thom noted that, since the Council previously had author-
ized supplemental allocations of $52,000.00 for the Police Helicopter Program
and $45,000.00 for a Special Municipal Election, authorizing this request of
$200,000.00 for street maintenance would make a total additional allocation
of approximately $300,000.00.
Mr. Murdoch advised that he expected to be prepared within a week
or two to give a report of the impact of the PEP Program on the suggested pro-
ject program priorities listed at the August 17, 1971, adjourned regular meet-
ing.
On motion by ~o~Jncitman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
a sopp]emental amou~t ~f Si~00~0O0.0f, for additional street maintenance was
author~ze~ for th~* ~i~'~.~l Y~r 197~7~ B~dget. MOTION CARRIED.
TRAFFIC PROBLEM- WALNUT CAN¥O~ ROAD: C~uncilman Thom reported a telephone request
had been received t~ addr~ss the Council at this time regarding a traffic prob-
lem nea~~ ti~e i~ters~-ction ~i' ~anta Aha Canyon Road and Walnut Canyon Road, and
thereupon invited Roland >~ ..... ~
~.~=~m.~t~. to state his problem.
'~Ir. Nes~i~;a ~06> 5~nta Aha Canyon Road, whose property is located
on th~ ~cutheast co~ne~ o~ Santa Aha Canyon Road and Walnut Canyon Road, asked
that some changes be made Jr~ t~he proposal to install a concrete median on Wal-
nut Canyon Road f~o~ ~{ant~ Da~ Canyon Road to the point where La Paz Street
would be, if extend~d through to Walnut Canyon Road, since this would necces-
sita~e area residences d~iving do~ the entire length of the median, making a
U-turn~ and driving back up ~he median to gain access to their property.
He stated he believed this access sinuation would have a detrimen-
tal effect on the value and future development of area property, adding that
had he realized what was planned he would have not so readily agreed to dedi-
cate a corner of bis property for sidewalk, as requested by the City.
Mr. Nesmit~ advised that in his particular case he could, if neces-
sary~ mov~ his driveway out to meet the Old Ditch Road; however, others in
the area did not have the same situation. He requested that the median be
broken at a point closer to Santa Aha Canyon Road than near La Paz Street.
City Engi~eer James ~addo~ advised that, subsequent to previous
discussion with Mr. Nesmith it had been determined that it could be possible
to omit the most northerly 20 or 30 feet of curbing and paint a median in
that space until s~ch time as traffic becomes more hazardous, making the
curbing necessary for' safety~ He added that this method would create a 5-way
intersection at Walnut Canyon Road and Santa Aha Canyon Road.
In reply to questioning, Mz. Mmddox advised that the proposed med-
ian wo~id be approximately 800-feet in length= and breaking the median at ap-
prox~ma~e]y the half-way point would resedit in elimination of almost all of
the iandscaping~
71-560
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 7, 1971, 1:30 P.M
Mr. Nesmith stated he understood there was a possibility La Paz
Street may be extended across Walnut Canyon Road to join with an unnamed
service road behind his property, in which case, this would solve most of
the problems of his neighbors.
RECESS: Councilman Thom moved for a 5-minute Recess to obtain and review a plot
plan for the area. Councilman Dutton seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
(3:35 P.M.).
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Dutton called the meeting to order, all Councilmen being pre-
sent. (3:55 P.M.).
Mayor Dutton announced that review of the proposed plans during
Recess had resulted in a decision to eliminate the curbing and paint a
median in for the first approximately 100 feet from Santa Aha Canyon Road,
allowing access to area residents until such time as traffic build-up ne-
cessitates installation of curbing.
Otto Henning, 20266 Santa Aha Canyon Road, whose property is in
the County, asked that the Council continue to watch the situation, to as-
sure the property owners' access is not blocked off by installing median
curbing without providing an alternate access of some type.
ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Pebley moved to adjourn. Councilman Thom seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED.
