I~BLIC HmA~ING - AM!~_~NDMENT TO TITLE 18 - A~...~~CIP~ CQDE - ZONING: To con-
sider an amendment to Title 18 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Zoning, by adding
a new Chapter 18.31 "Rl~r3600 Residential Multiple-Family Zone.
The Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC74-104 recom-
mended that the City Council adopt amendments to the Anaheim Municipal Code
Title 18, Zoning, Chapter 18.31 "P.M-3600 Residential Multiple Family Zone"
as set forth in Exhibit "~', a part of said resolution.
Planning Supervisor Don McDaniel briefly summarized the proposed
RM-3600 Zone and advised that this is the second portion of a two-part effort
to regulate condominium development in the City of Anaheim, the first part
being the declaratory statement adopted at the Council meeting held May 14, 1974
which set forth that there is, in fact, a difference between apartment and con-
dominium development. The development standards submitted will allow for control
not only of new developments, but will also permit regulation of conversions of
existing apartment complexes to condominiums or townhouses.
Mr. McDaniel pointed out that the Planning Commission recommended the
RM-3600 Zone on a 5 to 2 vote and that the two dissenting votes were cast be-
cause of the density proposed in the ordinance, which would allow a maximum of
twelve units to the acre. He explained that the current R-3 Zone converted to
this type of language would require 1200 square feet of land per unit and would
consequently allow a maximum of 36 units to the acre; whereas this is not typical,
the average is 25 to 30 units. The R-2 Zone likewise would convert to 2400 square
feet per dwelling unit, maximum of 18 units to the acre; whereas this zone cur-
rently averages 12 to 15 units per acre.
Mr. McDaniel cited these averages as an illustration that zoning regula-
tions are developed for the maximum amount of flexibility, and that the site to
be developed rarely can accommodate the maximum permitted number of dwelling units
in any particular zone because of-its size, shape or topography. He advised.that
it was suggested at. the Planning Commission hearings-that a maximum'of 10 units to
the acre be the standard in this zone, and Mr. McDaniel indicated that this would
require 4300 square foot per unit and would precipitate development with an
average density of 6 to 8 units to the acre.
Considerable discussion relative to the appropriate density for con-
dominium living ensued, during which Mrs. Kaywood indicated her position to be
that the 12 units proposed would be too dense and that she would prefer 6 to 10
units to the acre. She further was of the opinion that if 12 is the permitted
maximum, all developers would attempt to attain that maximum number and it would
become the average.
Councilman Seymour inquired as to what square footage per unit would
be necessary to arrive at a safe maximum of 10 units to the acre, to which Mr.
McDaniel replied that an RM-4000 would provide an average of 10 units to the
acre whereas an P.M-4300 would provide for a maximum 10 units to the acre but
an average of only 6 to 8 units to the acre.
Councilman Seymour related that density in condominiums is discussed
in the study prepared by the Urban Land Institute in which Dr. Norcross con-
ducted an extensive survey among condominium owners and indicated that the
National acceptable density is approximately 8 units to the acre but that this
relates to gross acreage, and that gross figures are used throughout, whereas
the City of Anaheim Planning Department is referring to the number of units
per net acre.
74.-639
City l i all. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL~II~I2S June 25. 1974. 1:30 P.M.
Hr. McDaniel clarified that the figures presented are based on the
current method used by the Development Services Department in calculating
density, which is the net net land area, i.e., that buildable portion of land
which is remaining less the public streets and any private streets over
120 feet in cumulative length.
Hr. Bill Young, Associate Planner, explained that prior to the
preparation of the proposed RN-3600 ordinance, a survey was conducted on 12
planned residential and condominium projects approved between September 1971
and September 1973. The densities in these projects range from a low of 8~
units to a high of 17.9 units per acre. The average of these 12 different
projects was 11.9 units per acre, which was strongly influenced by 3 develop-
ments which were substantially over 11.9 units per net acre in density.
in addition, Hr. Young noted that the proposed Condominium Ordinance
was reconunended at 3600 square feet per unit because this would fill the gap
between the lowest multiple-family zone (16 to 18 units per acre) and the
highest single-family zone, RS-5000.
The Mayor opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to
address the Council relative to the proposed RM-3600 Ordinance, either in
favor or opposition.
Hr. John Millick representing Anaheim Hills, Inc., pointed out
specific instances in which he asserted that the method used by the City in
calculating net net density penalizes the developer who provides extra
parking above and beyond what is required. He submitted plot plans for
'The Galerie" condominium project which provides 3.2 parking spaces per
unit, and used these as an example of the situation.
Mr. Millick remarked that '~he Galerie" project is representative
of some very creative land planning in the Anaheim Hills area, which he felt
the Council should encourage on the part of developers, rather than stifle
by adoption of an ordinance with stringent requirements and lacking suffi-
cient flexibility to permit this type of development without a large number
of variances and the distinct possibility that the Planning Con~nission may
require revisions to reduce the code waivers.
Mr. Millick further addressed the subject of structural setbaCks
(18.31.063, subsections .011 and .012). He pointed out that these sections
~re interpreted as limiting front setbacks to 15 feet, however, in a typical
townhduse project the garages are placed in front because of the view pre-
miums or other amenities which they wish tO include to the rear, or interior
of the project. Hr. Millick remarked that Anaheim Hills, Inc., feels that
15 feet is a peculiar limitation for a setback, not being sufficient space
for automobile parking. They would prefer that more flexibility be permitted
so that a rhythmic, more aesthetically pleasing "street scape" might be
achieved, rather than the regimented, uniform appearance of structures lined
up in a row.
Councilwoman Kaywood took exception to the statement that a set-
back provision of other than 15 feet would precipitate more flexibility in
front setbacks, noting that once the 6- to 10-foot setbacks were permitted,
and rather than providing flexibility the developers presented plans with
all 6 to 10-foot setbacks which, in her opinion, has created a.severe
parking problem in certain tracts.
Hr. Millick contended that parking of automobiles in the 6 to 10-
foot setbacks, as well as parking boats, campers, etc., on the streets, does
not appear to pose as much of a problem in those developments which have
active homeowners associations, as these groups provide a quasi-policing
influence over these problems. Further, there is little buyer resistance,
in his experience, to purchasing a home in a community with these regula-
tions since the resale of the individual units appreciates at a better rate
due to the attractive "street-scape", uncluttered with vehicles of all
sorts. In conclusion, Mr. Millick advised that Anaheim Hills, Inc., would
prefer a setback provision which would accon~nodate a combination of 10 to
25 feet or more. He indicated perhaps there might be some provision for
74- 640
Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 25, 1974, 1:30 P.M.
trade-offs,perhaps elimination of one of the parking lanes on a standard street
section, making up for this in some other way so long as the maximum number of
parking spaces required is.provided. He cautioned that it sometimes is not wise
to provide too much parking since this becomes an invitation for residents to
use their garage space for other purposes.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council; there
being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Mr. McDaniel responded to Mr. Millick's comments, noting that there
was some inference that the City's method of calculating density on the net net
basis was a new method, whereas this has been used for many years. Regarding
penalties for parking provided above the standard amount required, Mr. McDaniel
clarified that the private streets or alleys are not calculated to maximum width
but at 20 feet times their length, any additional parking bays or open parking
is not calculated in this figure; consequently, while there may technically be
a penalty for length of driveways, there would not be any for wider streets or
additional parking.
Further, Mr. McDaniel suggested a revision to Title 18.31.063, sub-
section .012, regarding structural setbacks as follows:
.012 Abutting any street other than a major, primary or secondary
highway, or collector streets; there shall be provided a
landscaped building setback of not less than 20 feet, pro-
vided however that the setbacks to any garage may be reduced
to not less than 6 feet in instance8 where the access to
the garage t8 provided by a private court or accessway
serving no more than 6 dwelling units.
Later in the meeting, Mr. Milltck indicated that this amendment would
also prove too restrictive and would not have permitted the developer to design
the court system in existence at "The Galatia!'.
Mr. McDaniel suggested since there is currently no structural set-
back requirement adjacent to a private street, that if the word public were
inserted in this section, i.e., "abutting any public street other than a major,
primary or secondary highway, or collector street; there shall be provided a
landscape building setback of not less than 15 feet." He remarked that this
would provide the desired flexibility.
Further discussion was directed towards the impact of the forthcoming
hillside development standards on the standards in this particular ordinance,
and Councilman Seymour indicated concern as to whether the standards as set
forth in the Pdt-3600 Ordinance would be contra to attempt by a developer who
wished to take an approach to development in the hillsides which would entail
less grading, and would attempt to conform to the existing terrain, particularly
he inquired whether the standards would still be applicable.
Mr. McDaniel replied that he could envision no problems in the areas
of setbacks or building separation, but building area per dwelling unit might
cause some difficulty. He related that the intent now of the ordinance is that
this 3600 square foot per dwelling unit be usable area, available to residents
whereas if 3600 foot of precipitous slope is considered as meeting the code
requirement, there will not be as much open space available for use, although
it would be within the owner's view.
Councilwoman Kaywood addressed several concerns which she had including
the indication in section 18.31.010, description and purposes which called for
the encouragement of development of residential projects which, h~r~onize with
existing and proposed land use in the vicinity. She asked whether this would
impede the upgrading of any particular area. She further inquired regarding
sub-sections which permit customary home occupations and the storage of up to
20 pounds of Class C explosives.
In answer to Councilwoman Kaywood, Mr. Young explained that the term
harmonize applies to architectural types, and that the latter two items are
provisions which are included in all residential zones and therefore they were
inserted inta this proposed ordinance.
74,' 6~1
Hall. A-mheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTE~ June 25. 19!74. 1:30
Councilwoman Kaywood further remarked that she felt thisprovision
for open parking spaces (8% feet wide by 19 feet in length) is insufficient
and should be increased. She noted that when parking stalls are not of
sufficient width, this causes damage to car doors and m~kes it difficult to
get in and out of automobiles. Furthermore, frequently individuals will
utilize two parking stalls when there is insufficient width.
Councilwoman Kaywood thereupon indicated she would be willing to
offer the proposed ordinance for first reading with amendment to require
4000 square feet per dwelling unit, including the amendment recommended re-
garding structural setbacks, and revising the provision for parking'stalls
to 9 feet in width by 19 feet in length.
.Mr. McDaniel pointed out that 8% feet by 19 feet is a standard for
parking stall size which is used throughout Title 18 and inquired whether
the City Council would be desirous of amending other sections to bring these
into conformance with the 9 feet width su~ested by Councilwoman Kaywood.
During the discussion which followed, Councilman Pebley pointed
out that most new automobiles are of the smaller variety; Mr. Orville Harms,
representing Carpenter's Local No. 203, Anaheim, reminded Council that each
time they require more property per parking space or dwelling unit they are
increasing the price of the finished product or of the merchandise which will
be eventually sold within the structure; Councilman Sneegas was of the
opinion that the width of the parking spaces made no difference whatsoever
that most of the damage sustained in parking lots is due to carelessness
or indifference of individual drivers. Councilman Sneegas also felt that a
requirement for additional width would only add to the current escalation of
costs.
At the conclusion of Council discussion, Councilman Pebley stated
that the Council's major concern in initiating preparation of site develop-
ment standards for condominium projects was necessity and not the other items
~nder discussion, and that he felt the recommendations submitted by the
Planning Commission will solve that problem. He remarked that he personally
felt that the developers could produce more liveable and creative plans if
they are not hampered with too much regulation.
It was the general concensus of opinion at the conclusion of dis-
cussion that the size of open parking stalls should beretained at 8% feet
by 19 feet, at least until some more definitive'opinion is forthcoming from
the Planning Commission which would justify same, in which case the ordinance
may be amended.
OP.D~E NO. 3311: Councilwoman Kaywood offered Ordinance No. 3311 for
first reading with amendment to Chapter 18.31.061, Subsection .012, deleting
3600 and inserting 4000 as the square foot requirement for each dwelling unit;
amending Chapter 18.31.063, Subsection .010 to delete the words "or private"
and Subsection .012 to insert the word "public" as recommended by the Develop-
ment Services Department and set forth above.

north of subject property;
10. Prior to the introduction of an ordinance rezoning subject
property, Condition Nos. 1, 2, and 3, above-mentioned, shall be completed.
The provisions 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.
11. That Condition Nos. 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9, above-mentioned, shall
be complied with prior to final building and zoning inspections.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC74-112,
granted Variance No. 2607 subject to the following conditions:
1. That this variance is granted subject to the completion of
Reclassification No. 73-74-54, now pending.
2. That subject property shall be developed substantially in
accordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim
marked Exhibit No. 1; provided, however, that the access point on Harbor
Boulevard shall be relocated to the north property line and an easement
executed to permit joint or multiple use of the access point by the adjoining
property to the north whenever the property to the north develops.
Zoning Supervisor Roberts briefed the location of subject property
which consists of two parcels, currently zoned R-2 and vacant, and described
the surrounding land uses. He noted that the majority of the parcels to the
north are single-family residential, as well as to the east, but that on the
west side of Harbor Boulevard variances have been approved to permit uses of
certain structures for commercial purposes. He advised that the applicant has
requested the C-1 Zone and intends to construct a 2600 square foot office
building, of which he proposes to use 1600 square feet for medical offices.
Mr. Roberts noted that as a result of considerable discussion at
the Planning Commission hearing regarding C-1 versus C-O, the Planning Com-
mission felt that C-O would be more appropriate for this particular property
and suggested that the petitioner submit a variance request for waiver of
minimum lot area and landscape setback, and with approval of these he could
then proceed with the proposed development on subject property with C-O Zoning.
The plans submitted indicate 14 parking spaces which is the exact number~re-
quired with the medical-office use proposed. The parking lot would be located
on the north side of the building and a driveway is shown with ingress and
egress onto Harbor Boulevard.
Mr. Roberts further indicated that Area Development Plan No. 115 was
considered along with this reclassification and variance to study secondary
74- 643
City Rail, An~aim. ~_~!iforn~_s_ - COUNCIL Wr~S - June 25. 1974. 1:30 P.M.
access alternatives. However, Area Development Plan No. 115 is not before
the CounCil this date since the Planning Commission has some reservations
and postponed the .matter until July 8, 1974. The site plan indicates addi-
tional access from the lot to the rear, which is a 15 foot wide alley and
would have to be widened to 20 feet to serve as a public alley. AJditionally,
Mr. Roberts reported that this property was a portion of the study conducted
in 1967 of residential properties fronting on arterial highways and was not
considered appropriate at that time for conversion.
Mr. Roberts called attention to Condition No. 9 of the City
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC74-111 which refers to the access
point on Harbor Boulevard, requiring same to be relocated to the north
property line, which would require that the applicant submit revised plans.
In addition, he advised that should Council.approve subject reclassification
and varian~e, they may wish to impose an additional condition requiring the
applicant to construct a 6-foot masonry wall on the opposite side of the
alley to provide additional protection to the single-family property owners.
Councilman Thom inquired whether this Condition No. 9 reflects the
City Planning Cou~nission's t. hinking.on Area Development No. 115, since he
would not favor Council's taking a zoning action which is not in accord with
a proposed Area Development Plan, to which Mr. Roberts responded that the
City Engineer's recommendation regarding this area was that all the vehicular
access rights be dedic.~.ed to the City. However, the Planning Commission
felt that there would ~e no probtem in. allowing the driveway on Harbor
Boulevard if moved to'~the north property line. He advised that he was not
aware of whether or not any different conclusions would come about as a
result of the Area Development Plan.
The Mayor asked if the Applicant or his A~ent were present and
satisfied with the recommendations of the City Planning Co~nission.
Mr. Leonard Smith, 125 South Claudina Street, A~ent for the Appli-
cant indicated satisfaction with most of the Planning Commission recommenda-
tions. He pointed out that the reason the C-1 Zoning was requested originally
was in order to avoid the necessity for code waivers. He advised further, in
· connection with Condition No. 2 of Planning Co~nission Resolution No. PC74-111
wherein the Planning Commission proposes that the entire additional width of
12% feet needed to widen the alley to 20 feet, be taken from the Applicant's
side of the alley, that they do oppose this and it is their position that the
necessary additional property be dedicated evenly by both property owners on
either side of this alley.
Regarding Condition No' 9, Mr. Smith noted that the Planning Com-
mission felt this driveway should be located as far away from the intersection
of North Street and Harbor Boulevard as is possible. He indicated that they
would have no objection to relocating the driveway but they do object to the
requirement in this same condition that an easement deed be executed to permit
~mllttple uses of this access point with other properties. He indicated they
would be willing to exchange easement deeds but that there is no assurance as
to when the property to the north would be developed, and' he feels it would
be unfair to require the owner of subject property to provide the full drive-
way width. Mr. Smith further stated that, in his experience, area develop-
ment plans do not work and he felt Area Development Plan No. 1~5 in particular
would not generate interest among any of the 13 owners of the 15 parcels ad-
Jacent to Harbor Boulevard into selling their proper for consolidation and
development. Furthermore, he voiced the opinion that alleys are not a
successful means of providing access in either residential or commercial-
professional situations since people do not use them.
Councilwoman Eaywood left the Council Chambers (3:20 P.M.)
In response to Mr. Smith's comments, Mr. Roberts advised that the
Plannir~ Con~nission felt since it is the parcel on Harbor Boulevard which is
proposin~ to convert from residential to a co~ercial use, it would be appro-
priate that the additional right-of-way dedication come from said commercial
parcel rather than the existing R-1 property to the east.
74-644
City Hall. A~-heim. Galifornia - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 25. 1974. 1:30 P.M.
The Mayor asked if anyone else in favor wished to address the Council.
Councilwoman Kaywood returned to Council Chambers (3:25 P.M.)
Dr. Dick Garabedian, 641Peralta Hills Drive, advised that he was
born and raised in the older section of Anaheim ~nd has maintained his office
three blocks south of subject site for 18 years. He related that the present
location of his office is not satisfactory since there is insufficient parking
and the access to parking is through an alley and his patients object to driving
down an alley to park. This is one of the reasons he proposes to move to a new
location. He advised that as he recalls, the subject property has been vacant
and unproductive for 40 years. He pointed out that he intends to construct an
attractive building which should not disturb the residential neighborhood as
his practice is essentially a daytime operation'. He also pointed out that this
is not a speculative business venture, he has had an established practice in this
area for some years.
Regarding the alley dedication, he noted that requiring the dedication
from his portion of the property would be penalizing not only the subject property,
but all of the property owners on the west side of the alley. Dr. Garabedian
concluded that he would not be willing to construct his office building on subject
parcel if the only access he would have is through the alley. He indicated he
would be agreeable to an exchange of easement deeds with the property owner to
the north regarding the Harbor Boulevard access point.
The Mayor asked if anyone in opposition wished to address the Council.
Mrs. William Hinkle, 407 Park Way, indicated that there were some
properties which contained two story stucco garages adjacent to the alley. She
advised that she contacted almost all of the people in the immediate adjacent
area and submitted names and siSnatures of these individuals. She advised that
she was not able to find one area resident in favor of the proposed zoning
change. She further remarked that she would be opposed to any project which
requires.dedication of additional right-of-way to Harbor Boulevard, since she
felt this should not be widened but retained as a residential street and that
trucks should be routed away from this area. She further pointed out that
there is an existing sewer problem and this proposed commercial property would
be using a sewer which is not adequate at the present time. Further, she
pointed out the precedent established if this property is converted to commer-
cial uses, the entire block will eventually becom~ Commercial properties.
Councilman Pebley explained that if this property is zoned C-O and
the use as proposed granted, he felt this type of development would provide
much less intense use of the land and less traffic than any other project he
could think of, except perhaps ann-1 single-family home, which would not be
likely. He noted that the current zone on the property is R-2 and would permit
the development of apartment units which would create considerably more conges-
tion. He further explained that dedication of additional right-of-way along
Harbor Boulevard is required of all property owners whose frontage is adjacent
to Harbor where it has not been developed to ultimate width; that this dedica-
tion is made a condition when any change in development of the property is
requested; and that subject dedication would not in any way cause the accelera-
tion of the street widening itself.
Mr. Ray Barnecut, 415 West Park Way, indicated he was opposed to the
granting of the reclassification and variance and that his concern was based
primarily on the change from a residential to a commercial use. He noted that
subject property is a small parcel of land in the middle of a residential area
and he did not feel that a ~ultiple family residential development would be
as objectionable as what is proposed. He cautioned that residential properties
are always able to be converted to co~ercial, but the converse is not true.
He pointed out that this is already a developed area with nice older homes
which are well ma~ntained and that the residents would like it to remain this
way.
Mr. Barnecut pointed out that if, in the future, the occupancy or
types of uses of the proposed office building do change, the parking which
will be provided may not be adequate. He also indicated that there is much
traffic in this area and many accidents. He specifically inquired as to why
the E.I.R. wks not considered necessary in this particular case.
7~- 6~.5
City .Hallj Anaheim~ California- COUNCIL HINUTES- June 25~ !974~ 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. Claud Sympson, 325 West Park Way, advised that she has lived
at this address for 27 years and has appeared in opposition to zoning changes
in that neighborhood in the past. She urged the Council to seriously consider
the remarks made by her neighbors.
The Mayor asked is anyone else .in opposition wished to address the
Council and there being no response offered the applicant · few minutes for
rebuttal.
Hr. Smith reiterated that he'felt that the structure which the
applicant proposes would be an asset to the area and would create a. much
less intense use of the property and generate less traffic. He stated that
they feel the nature of Harbor Boulevard has changed over the.years. He
related that .they would be interested and willing in an exchange of easement
deeds with'the property o~ner to the north.
Mayor Thom closed the hearing.
Councilman Sneegas indicated empathy for those property owners to
the south of North Street ~anting to retain the residential st=osphere, hob-
ever he pointed out that with the change of value of land which takes place
along an arterial such as Harbor Boulevard, changes in the use of that land
are unavoidable. He noted there is a doctor's office across the street from
this location and stated that he felt this to be a logical use for the property
and that there is sufficient reason to believe the use will remain within the
par~neters described.
Councilman Sneegas thereupon indicated he would be villing to offer
resolutions for approval of the reclassification ·nd variance with Condition
Ho. 2 unchansed requiring the applicant dedicate 12~ feet for widening the
alley.
Councilman Se~nour indicated his concern re$·rdingi the access point
on Harbor Boulevard, ren·rktns that, in his opinion, an areai development plan
providing some redevelopment concept for this ·rea would be critical. He
noted that if Council takes a zoning action which will destroy the concept
of · proposed area development plan, the result is "spot" zoning for ~hich he
could not vote.
Mr. Smith Suggested, as a compromise, that the Applicant offer a
conditional dedication of the easement which would become efi£ective on re-
development of the property to the north.
Council generally indicated that they felt this would be an accept-

The City Planning Co~nission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC74-109
granted Variance No. 2598, in part only, waiver (b) having been withdrawn
by the Applicant and waiver (a) granted only in respect to lot No. 2, subject
to the following conditions:
i. That street names shall be approved by the City of Anaheim
prior to approval of a final tract map.
2. That subject property shall be developed substantially in
accordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim
marked Exhibit Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC74-110
granted Conditional Use Permit No. 1462 subject to the following conditions:
1. That this conditional use permit is granted subject to the
completion of Reclassification No. 73-74-55, now pending.
2. That subject property shall be developed substantially in
accordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim
marked Exhibit Nos, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Zoning Supervisor Roberts reported that subject property is located
on an "~' shaped 59-acre parcel and is zoned M-1 at the present time. He
described the surrounding land uses and indicated that the applicant proposes
to use the 16 acres covered by subject reclassification, which are divided
into three parcels, separated by a public street to connect Magnolia and La
Palms Avenues, for a variety of commercial uses. He indicated the location
of each of the three parcels, identified as Lot Nos. 1, 2 and 3, and their
intended uses as follows:
Lot No. 1 - located westerly of the dividing public street is
proposed for general cou~nercial business offices.
Lot No. 2 - the large~iangular shaped portion at the corner of
Magnolia and La Palma Avenues is intended to be developed to a variety of
uses including a 1200 seat theatre; 4 restaurants; banking institutions.
Lot No. 3 - located north of the dividing street is proposed for
development as an AllState Insurance Claims Facility.
}ir. Roberts described the requested code waivers and explained that
the reason the applicant feels the waiver from minimum number of required
parking spaces is justifiable for Lot No. 2 is that the various uses described
above would have peak usage at different hours of the day, i.e., the banking
institutions in the daytime versus theater and restaurants in the night. The
conditional use permit applies to request for on-sale liquor license in three
restaurants; beer and wine in the fourth. The plans submitted indicate a
basic theme for this complex similar to the Southcoast Village concept. He
explained that the flags and banners proposed would be displayed within a
courtyard area which could be viewed from the decks of the three restaurants,
and would include an aviary type structure to confine birds. Mr. Roberts
further indicated that these flags and banners are proposed to be displayed
on a permanent basis. One area of concern which remains unresolved is the
adequacy of the trash collection areas as shown on the site plan.
Mr. Roberts briefed the Planning Commission recouuaendations, noting
that they felt it would be appropriate to retain lt-1 zoning on Lot Nos. 1
and 3, and approve the requested zone change to C-1 for Lot No. 2 only.
The petitioners were requested to submit application for variance to permit
the AllState Insurance Claims Center onN-1 Zoned property described as
Lot No. 3 which subsequently had been approved by the City Planning Commis-
tton (Variance No. 2613). Further, the City Planning Commission granted the
74- 648
City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCILMINUTES - June 25. 1974. 1:30 P.M.
display of banners and flags within the interior of the project since these
would be a considerable distance from the street and therefore would not be
objectionable. The conditional use permit to allow the 1200 seat theater and
to permit on-sale liquor and beer and wine licenses in conjunction with
restaurants were approved.
The Mayor asked if the Applicant or his Agent were present and satis-
fied with the recommendations of the City Planning Commission.
Mr. Bill Gray, Dunn Properties, 2009 East Edinger Avenue, Santa Aha,
advised that they would like to appeal the decision made by the City Planning
Commission in connection with reclassification proceedings on Lot No. 1. He'
pointed out that the property immediately west .of Lot No. 1 is the Southern
California Edison right-o'~way which creates a natural buffer between commercial
and residential uses and on the south side of La Palma Avenue exists an Edison
Power plant and Sears Service Station in the City of Buena Park.
Mr. Gray pointed out that the tenancy of the property to the area
immediately north of subject property is also that of Dunn Properties so that,
in essence, objections received from Delco Remy amount to Dunn Properties
objecting to its own neighbor. He indicated that they propose to develop the
remainder of the northerly property to a multi-tenancy industrial building to
create additional buffer with landscaped areas and parking areas. One of the
most beneficial aspects of the proposal, according to Mr. Gray, is the fact that
the final ordinance to rezone the property would not be read until such time as
the final precise plans for development on Lot Nos. 1 and 2 are approved by the
City Planning Commission and City Council, in that this affords absolute assurance
as to the type of development which will take place on the property.
In conclusion, Mr. Gray advised that the project, architect and the
architect for the commercial development were present in the Council Chambers
and available to answer any questions which Council might have.
The Mayor asked if anyone, either in favor or opposed to this project,
wished to address the Council, there being no response declared the hearing
closed.
Councilman Pebley complimented Dunn Properties for bringing such a
fine proposed project as this to the City of Anaheim, and indicated he would
like to offer for approval all zoning actions necessary to expedite the project.
Mr. Jeffrey Boling, Comptroller Delco Remy Division, was recognized
by the Mayor and registered objections to Lot 3 being rezoned to C-1. He
indicated that the Delco Remy Division wishes to retain this M-1 zoned property
adjacent to them as a buffer since they intend, in the future, to develop a
waste-water treatment facility at this location and the retention of the M-1
zone would preclude certain problems which they otherwise might encounter with
neighboring uses.
Councilman Pebley noted that the variance to establish an AllState
Insurance Claims facility on Lot No. 3 (Variance No. 2613) has already been
approved by the City Planning Commission and therefore Dunn Properties could
lease to this tenant without reclassifying said property.
CERTIFICATION E.I.R. NO. 123: On motion by Councilman Sneegas, seconded by
Councilman Pebley, E.I.R. No. 123, having been reviewed by the City Staff and
recommended by the City Planning Commission to be in compliance with City and
State Guidelines and the State of California Environmental Quality Act, the
Council, acting upon such information and belief, does hereby certify that
E.I.R. No. 123 is in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
and City and State Guidelines. MOTION CARRIED.
In answer to Councilwoman Kaywood's question regarding the discrepancy
in parking stall sizes, which in one place are noted to be 10' by 20' and in
another 9%' by 20', Mr. Gray explained that although the City of Anaheim standard
for open perkins stalls is 8%' by 9', they prefer, and will install wider stalls
in the co~ercial area (10' wide) and tn the industrial perkins area, where the
traffic is more stationery, they propose 9' stalls.

CONTII~_~_D I~.~LIC gwi~_~ PItOPOgED CITY OF ANAHEIM 1974-75 BUDGET: (Continued from
the mee~.in~ of June 11, 1974)
The City Clerk submitted and read in full a resolution from the
Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, dated June 20, 197&, regarding the 1974-75 budset
which ~akea the follovins recommendations to the Anaheim City Council:
1. The Anaheim City Council should include au estimated amount in
the 1974-75 City Budset £unde for an in-depth independent, financial audit
and management practices audit of all City Fund8 and all Departments.
2. That a selection or screenin$ committee for the audit firm and
the management practices firm be selected, and that the Chamber of Commerce
be represented ou this Committee and that a firm fee be then established and
presented to the Anaheim City Council for approval.
Prior to opening the hearing for discussion from the public at
large, the Council heard comments from the City Manager.
Mr. Murdoch related that the Council had indicated interest to date
in tvo new positions, i.e., Co~unity Relations Representative and Grantsman.
He reported that the recruiting process for the Community Relations Representa-
tive is complete and Staff is ready to make an appointment. He suggested
that the Council provide a budget of $19,000.00 for this position, which would
not include secretarial help.
Relative to the Grantsman, as the position was discussed, this
individual would actively work in the federal and private grants field and
this would probably necessitate some travel. He suggested that the Council
provide a budget of $34,000.00 if they wish to proceed with this position.
In addition s Mr. Murdoch noted that Councilman Seymour has
previously discussed the desirability of manase~nt studies and he would
presum~ along with that, a management practices audit, productivity analysis
and recom~endation~ as well, He summarized that last year the Utilities
Department - Electrical Division - did soma work in this field which amounted
to $52,000 and an additional $20,000 is proposed in the 1974-75 Budget Co
continue t~ie analysis for the supervisory level.
74-651
City Hall. ~$m. ~alifornia- COUNCIL MIND,iS - June 25. 1974. 1:30 P.M.
In relation to a manasement practices audit, Mr. Murdoch reported
that a preliminary Proposal has been received which suggested that a four-
week study be undertaken first at a cost of $8,000 to ascertain which areas
would be most likely to yield the greatest results. Another firm has
indicated they would like to start in the same manner but would require
considerably more time to make the analysis as to where the study should
begin and what the nature of the study should be. Mr. Murdoch stated that
the parameters of any such study will need to be clearly defined since it
could run anywhere from $8,000 to $50,000. The alternative to this would
be to make this initial analysis with present staff and then draw up'the
request for a proposal from various firms experienced in the management
practices field which specifically outlines the City's requirements for
the analysis. Mr. Murdoch pointed out that some cities have used a
management practices audit to look into organizational structure and the
like, more often than productivity. He stated that, in his opinion,
there is room for both types of analysis, however, he cautioned against
attempting to implement both studies in all City Departments within one year
becuase of the costs involved, as well as the individual department's
ability to assimilate the changes and recommendations within this period
of time.
Regarding the in-depth independent financial audit as recommended
by the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Murdoch reported that the City has long
had an independent financial audit of its financial transactions. He
'indicated that further ~xplanation would be necessary to outline whether the
City would have a combination management and financial audit to determine
whether practices utilized could be improved, and if this is the case, the
analysis is done on actual expenditures and would have to be very precise.
Mz. Murdoch further stated that he felt the suggestions are good, but
that up to this point the budget does not include funding for this type of
s~udies, except for that which the Utilities Department requested. He reported
further that a preliminary application for a Grant to perform productivity
analysis in the Park Maintenance Division is scheduled for Council approval at
this meeting. He indicated that this analysis will have application in other
landscaping type functions. The Grant request is for $94,000.00 and in-kind
activity on the part of the City would amount to $23,500.00. In addition, Mr.
Murdoch reported that there is considerable interest in productivity analysis
as far as HUD is concerned on a National level and he predicted some activity
forthcoming in this area.
Mr. Murdoch concluded with the statement that if the Council does
wish some of these aforementioned items included in the propoeed 1974-75 budget,
he would certainly suggest.that they concurrently reduce the budget by a rather
substantial amount, and if this is the case, he stated he would have recommen-
dations to present.
Mayor Thomcalled for public comments on the proposed 1974-75 Budget
for the City of Anaheim.
Mr. Joe White, 809 West Broadway, questioned the proposed Disaster
Services Department budget shown on page 112 as $55,010.00. He recalled that
11 or 12 years ago this Department had an annual budget of $11,000 to $12,000
and was essentially a one-man operation, the Justification being that it was
partially Federally subsidized. He indicated that in view of the current
international situation he could see no Justification to this requested in-
crease in manpower and budget.
Mr. Murdoch concurred that it would be a mistake to expand the
Disaster Services Department activities and noted that these are kept to a
minimum. However, he reported that he always subscribed to the theory that
this office could assume 'additional responsibilities rather than forming a
completely new department. In this instance he advised that Paul Hayes,
Disaster Services Coordinator, has taken on the responsibilities of
Management Control and Energy Conservation.
74-652
C$t¥ Hall, Anaheim. California- COUNCIL MINUTES - June 25, 1974, 1;30 P.M.
Mr. Murdoch explained that unfortunately, if the office is changed to
more accurately reflect the scope of the work performed, then it might not be
possible to continue to receive 'the Federal funds which are now provided for
tht portion which constitues the City's on-going Disaster Services program and
satisfied the Federal requirements for same.
Mr. White commented on the Libraries and Parks and that he hoped
their fate did not depend upon a bond issue. He suggested that the Council
include a question on any such bond proposition asking the citizens, if their
vote is "no" on the bonds, whether they are voting against construction of a
branch library or against a bond issue.
Mr. White also felt the City is not accepting sufficient responsibility
in the area of undergrounding of utilities. He stated that some portion of
the profits derived from the electric utilities should be used to make a start
on undergrounding electrical lines, as adjoining cities have already accomplished
a portion of this task. He further indicated that the City should be more
responsive to such needs as railroad under and over passe s and landscaped median
planters.
Mr. White commented next on the City's Data Processing budget. He
referred to the Ernst & Ernst report done some three to four years ago at which
time the total cost to the Anaheim taxpayers for Data Processing was $450,000.
Four years later, as he reads the budget, this figure is up to $692,617, or a
50% increase. He pointed out that in this same time frame the County of Orange
has phased out its Data Processing Services by contracting for these. As a result
of this it is estimated that they will save $11,000,000, which figure is holding
true after the first full year. He concluded that perhaps the City of Anaheim
should consult Ernst & Ernst once again to determine if there is a more econo-
mical way to handle the Data Processing requrements.
Mr. White addressed the subject of redevelopment noting that he felt
the City of Anaheimwill realize a tremendous amount of cash and credit through
this program. 'His concern is that the downtown area redevelopment project be
approached with the finest professional redevelopment help which is available.
He further suggested that this entire project be divested from the Development
Services Department and particularly the jurisdiction of Mr. Alan Orsborn, who,
in his opinion, has not to date, demonstrated leadership or resourcefulness
in this particular area.
The Mayor asked if anyone else from the public at large had any com-
ments to present relative to the proposed 1974-75 Budget; and hearing none,
called for co, nests from the City Council.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered the observation that on checking care-
fully through the budget the overwhelming portion of this is devoted to salaries
and fringe benefits. She felt from past experience that if each and every
department were to remain extremely aware of the costs of materials, such as
paper, and to use all of these things efficiently and conservatively, this
would effect a savings for the City amounting to thousands of dollars.
Councilman Thomrelated his concern regarding bond elections, and in
particular that he felt during the 1974-75 fiscal year the Council should carry
only one question to the electorate, that being the referendable finance
mechanism to construct the proposed City Hall. He indicated that he would not
be in favor of putting anything which pertains to bonding during the coming
fiscal year to the citizens other than this question.
Councilman Thom explained additionally that he feels the City should
not become too deeply involved in the alternative power supply sources (genera-
tion) at this point in trine. He stated that he considered the $446,000 shown
as the City of Anaheim's share of study costs for alternative power sources in
the 1974-75 Budget to be premature and this type of expenditure should be de-
layed · until such time as the Utilities Department hms.been through a very deep
financial atuitt. Additionelly, he remarked that the feels it is premature to
set up a new division within the Utilities Department as is proposed at chis
time, and that the implementation of this new division should also be held
until the in-depth audit as it relates to finance, cost accounting, and fixed
assets is complete;

GStvMall. _~___ah_e!m. California - COUNCIL--S - June 25. 1974. 1:30 P.M.
Councilman Thom advised that another area of genuine concern to him
is the Data Processing budget and that he is not satisfied, even with theM DS
Agreement, ~hat this system is as economical and efficient .as it should be.
He conceded that at this point he has no suggestions to offer as to how to
remedy the situation but he philosophically is strongly convinced that the
City's Data Processing needs could be met less expensively by an outside con-
tractor in the private sector.
Councilman Thom concluded with the remark that a full-bloom finan-
cial audit to demonstrate the financial picture over the past five years with
emphasis on cost allocation accounting and fixed assets would be of assistance
to the City Council in achieving the greatest yield possible for the citizens
from ~he $88,000,000 budget.
Councilman Seymour r_~_~rked that as much as he would like to make
some recommendations for changes or deletions to the proposed 1974-75 Budget
which would effect economies, he found this to be much too difficult and cum-
bersome a task to undertake in a matter of a 30-day period, which is the amount
of time he has had to work with the proposed budget. He stated that he felt
in government at all levels, and especially at the basic level of municipal
goverranent, thereshould be concern over inflation and rising costs and.how
these affect the standards of living, inasmuch as the City's primary sources
of revenue are property and sales taxes, and utilities. He noted that the
citizens in Anaheim,as well as in o~her cities, are required to pay more and
more to reside in their respective cities.
Further Councilman Seymour r__o~arked that the City Council is faced
with long-term financing decisions. As regards this technique, he stated that
he feels those items or services which are not extreme in cost can and should
be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis, and further that it is the responsibility
of the City Council to see that this is accomplished to the greatest degree
possible.
Prior to seeking approval of a bond issue from the voters,
Councilman Seymour expressed the opinion that in order to insure the greatest
possible chance of success, the City Council has to demonstrate good faith
by having done everything possible to cut back expenses. He wished to clarify
that. his previous remarks regarding deletion of the helicopter program,etc.,
were not to be construed as a personal affront by any Depart~nent Head, or by
the City lianager or other officials responsible for City programs. He indica-
ted that his intent in all previous dialogue has always been directed towards
attempting a reduction of expenditures through the creation of efficiencies.
He voiced the opinion that in order to achieve these economies, and to attain
the level of confidence necessary to have a successful bond issue, the City
needs a complete and thorough examination.
Councilman Seymour stated that he finds himself currently in a posi-
tion of not beingable to proceed with the budget or any other expenditure
until such time as it has been assured that some steps have been taken or are
at least underway to establish these economic objectives. He .indicated that
it was for these reasons that he proposed the Resolution whichwas consequent-
ly adopted by the Chamber of Consaerce and submitted to the City Council as
part of this Budget hearing.
In this connection Councilm~n Seymour proposed t~o types of audit:
(1) an in-depth financial audit; (2) a management practices audit. He further
proposed that these be performed by a nationally recognized firm or at least
a firmwhich is professional in the occupation of auditing. The purpose and
goals of the financial audit he proposes are to be:
1. To determine the adequacy and accuracy of the City's existing
accounting system.
2. To examine each and every department and enterprise activity to
establish the following criteria:
a. Has there been proper recording, itemizations and deprecia-
tion schedules established on assets?
b. To establish a proper examination of bookkeeping and accoun~ng
of all income and expenses in much greater detail than hereto-
fore provided by the current auditing firm.
74-654
G~t¥ Ha~l, A~sheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 25, 1974, 1:30 P.M.
Councihnan Seymour stated that hopefully as one result of this audit,
the consultin~ fi~nwi11 reconmend accounting and bookkeeping efficiencies con-
sistent with prudent and reasonable safeguards from criminal acts. He indica-
ted that he had no suspicions of any illegal activity but that it would be
appropriate in revising any system to set up safeguards against same.
The management practices audit he also rec__o~__ended be performed by
a nationally recognized firm, or one which has demonstrated expertise in this
area. This firm should have the apparatus and ability to e~mine and audit
finances in all City departments and enterprise activities to establish the
following:
1. Areas of City service which might be consolidated.
2. Areas of City service which might more efficiently and economic-
ally be provided by private enterprise.
3. Areas of City service which might be eliminated.
4. Recommend management concepts that will increase efficiencies
and reduce personnel, paper and time schedules.
Councilman Seymour noted that this is a large order, implementation
of which might take some time, but that he would advocate an on-going organized
program to begin and to acc.omplish as much as possible this year and to follow
through in subsequent years. He stated that it has been clearly demonstrated
to him from this budgetary review process that you cannot start 30 days prior
to adoption of the budget to trim and to create efficiencies, to accomplish
this you must begin now on the 1975-76 Budget.
Councilman Seymour further proposed that an allocation of $300,000
be set aside in the 1974-75 Budget for the audits proposed. He indicated
that he felt the hiring of the audit teams should be done by the City Council,
and should be held directly responsible to same. In lieu of that, a small
task force comprised of members from the City Council, one or Cwo members of
the business community and representatives from the citizenry might be formed
to work with these audit teams and hold said teams responsible to them.
Councilman Seymour briefed several other alternatives which he had
considered in order to achieve some budgetary reduction, including a morator-
ium on hiring, but felt that the two audits as outlined present the most plaus-
ible alternative for Council to take. Further he cautioned Council that the
result of these audits will be some recommendations and decisions which will
require Council to d__~monstrate courage by following through on them.
Councilman Seymour thereupon moved that an allocation of $300,000
be established in the 1974-75 Budget for a financial and a management practices
audit as outlined above. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded the motion.
Prior to voting on the foregoing motion, Councilman Pebley inquired
as to where the $300,000 requested for these studies would be appropriated.
Mr. Hurdoch replied that in order to present his reco~mnendation to
Council as regards financing of same, he would first need direction in the
following areas:
1. He would assume that the intent of the Council is not to increase
the overall budget amount;
2. Whether or not Council wished to include the t~o new positions
previously mentioned, Community Relations Representative and
Grantsman, with respective budgets of $19,000 and $34,000 in
the 1974-75 Budget.
Council indicated agreement with item number 1 above and further,
by general consent, advised that they did wish the Cwo new positions to be
included in the 1974-75 Budget.
Briaf discussionwas bald as to methods of funding the $300,000
allocation requested by Councilman Seymour for the t~eo types of audits, dur-
ing~hich Couacilm~n Seymour proposed a loan against estimated forthcoming
tax receipts to accrue interest earuin~s~ and Councilman Thom suggested that
74- 655
City ltall. ~.~_heim. California- COUNCIL HINUTES- June 25. 1974. 1:30 P.M.
the costs for alternative power sources and establishment of a ney division
in the Utilities Department, ~hich amounts to $500,000 be reallocated for
this purpose.
The City Manager reported that he had done some preparatory work
over the past few weeks on budget cuts and with the direction Just given by
Counail he would be able to make some precise recommendations, after a fey
calculations, which ~ould net in ~he neighborhood of $275,000 for the finan-
cial and management practices audit.
Councilman Seymour felt thisvould be adequate for this year, pro-
vided that it is realized that this is to be. an on-going program and that ~hat-
ever portion is not complete the first year would be tackled in subsequent
years,
Mr. Murdoch reported on the following items not yet included in the
budget for Council infomtion:
Peralta Adobe: The City Hanager reported that, should Council be
willing to proceed with any participation in the Peral~aAdobe re-
storation project, he ~ould recomnend that the Council offer to share
in one-half of the cost of acquisition of said property and that
the County proceed with the renovation, most likely v iCh the use of
historical funds available from private, State or Federal sources.
Further, that the County proceed with negotiations with the Bowers
Museum,..or a similar organization, for maintenance and operation of
the historical facility once restored. He stated that the City of
Anaheim's portion of the cost under this arrangement would be in
the neighborhood of $50,000 to $60,000, the precise figure is not
available because of the possible necessity to use condemnation
proceedings to obtain the property. The Council has t~o other
options, if they do not wish to include this sum in the 1974-75
Budget itself, and these would be to allocate funds from the 1973-
74 or 1974-75 Council Contingency Fund.
Paramedics: Mr. Murdoch reported that as previously given, the cost
of a single unit would be $101,000 and the second unit would amount
to an additional $$0,000.
Bond Counsel and Financial Consultants: In connection with the
Civic Center Project, Hr. Hurdoch noted the Council has authorized
employment of bond counsel and financial advisors, the fee for which
is estimated at $40,000. If the bond issue is successful that amount
can be included in the financing package, however, if the bonds are
not successful then this will remain an obligation for which the
Council has not appropriated any funds.
The City Council indicated no position at this time on allocation
for the three items above listed and no further action vas taken.
Later in the meeting, The City Manager returned with a precise recom-
mendation for amendment to the proposed 1974-75 Budget. Prior to making this
reco~aendation, however, he urged the. Council to proceed with the planned alter-
native power sources studies since in his estimation these have a tremendous
potential for savings to the City. He pointed out that 41% of the Cityts total
budset currently is devoted to the coat of purchased power and the differential
costs between purchased and generated power could amount to a savings of 15
million dollars once the City is into this field. He conmented that consequent-.
ly, on this basis, his recommendation for revision of the Budget does not affect
the monies set aside for alternative power source studies.
Councilman Thom interjected that the study will no doubt prove the
plant to be feasible, but vi11 also require public approval of some very drama-
tic funding, and he doub~ed this would be successful.
74-656
City Hall. Amahaim. California - COUNCIL ~NUTE_5 - June 25. 1974, 1:30 P.M.
The City Manager recommended, in accordance with the desires as ex-
pressed by'the Council, that the following appropriations be added to the 1974-
75 Budget: $34,000 for the Grantsman; $19,000 for the Community Relation~~
Representative; $292,000 for the financial and management practices audits.
These additions to the Budget total $345,000 and in order to meet that goal,
so as not to increase the total budget amount, he recommended the deletion
from the proposed 1974-75 Budget of 33 requested positions, throughout the
various City departments. These include various clerical and administrative
positions~ as well as some patrohaen and five firemen. He added$ however~
that some of the adverse effects of this cut-back may be alleviated, particular-
ly in the Police and Fire Departments through C.E.T.A. funds and in other areas,
personnel may be Peplaced with P.E.P. funds.
APPROVAL 1974-75 BUDGETi On report and recommendation of the City Manager,
Councilman Seymour rephrased the foregoing motion to amend the proposed 1974-
75 Budget as outlined by the City Manager to include $292,000 for in-depth
financial and management practices audits as specified earlier; to include
$34,000 for the Grantsman and $19,000 for the Co~nunity Relations Representa-
tive; and to delete the 33 various positions recommended; and to approve said
Budget as amended for fiscal year 1974-75, totaling $88,186,045.00. Council-
woman Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
The Council then clarified that the teams to conduct the Fimmncial
and management practices audits would be held directly responsible to the
City Council itself, and that the City Manager would request firms to present
proposals for consideration by the City Council.
Councilman Thom at this time questioned whether the $88,000 in
Possessory Interest Taxes for the Anaheim Stadium paid by the City under
protest, and scheduled to be refunded, has been included in the 1974-75
Budget and Mr. Murdoch replied that it had not been included.

RESOLUTION ~O. ?~R-~02 - S~EET NAME AND ~ CHANGES - MOHLF~ DRIVE
Ronald ~son presented the Planning Co~ission reco~endations to the City
Council ~egardlng street name changes in the ~hler ~ive area. He indicated
that up~ annexatfon it is the City policy to revise street numbers from the
County system to the City of ~aheim fou~digtt system. Although this area
was annexed so~ time ago, the street numbering change was delayed because of
so~ problems with street n~es in the area. He advised that the City Staff
has developed a plan working with honorer groups for renaming of streets in
the ~hler Drive area and these are as sho~ on E~ibit "~' with the exception
that since Grivey ~ne would conflict with a street of the same name in West
~eim, this should continue to be n~ed "Old Ranch Road". Further, it
reco~ended that the proposed street name "Casa ~ Joys" be deleted from the
Exhibit since it se~e8 only one property o~er at the present time.

The City Clerk submitted correspondence from residents at 7257 and
7259 Del Giorgio Road, Velma M. Jonkman and John and Bernice Bosheff, respec-
tively, indicating opposition to the renaming of this road to "0leander Lane".
Mr. Thompson further noted that the City of Anaheim will be signing
these streets shortly with the Anaheim numbers system, and reco~-~ended that
Council authorize a slight additional expense to attach, in those instances
where a public street intersects a private street, the private street sign to
the public sign with reversed colors. He advised that this would aid in postal
delivery and emergency services and recommended ~hat Exhibit "f' - proposed
changes in street names and/or premise numbers - be approved as recommended.

T~R~MINATION OF LEASE - ¢0V~ PRESBYTERIA~ CHURCH: The City Attorney reported to
Council that a letter dated June 6, 1974 from the Covenant Presbyterian Church
indicate~ they will vacate premises leased from the City, located at the south-
east corner of Emily and Chartres Streets,(124 North Emily Street) this week.
Mr. Watts advised that the lease arrangement between the City and said Church
was for a two-year period and there was no provision for termination, therefore,
technically they are in breach of contract. However, the Parks and Recreation
Department have indicated they do need the facilities currently under lease
and additionally, an offer to lease said facilities has been received from
another church.
Mr. Watts summarized that the question before Council now is whether
they would want to comence action against the Covenant Presbyterian Church for
breach of contract or, alternatively, do they wish to accept this termination
so long as the lessee accepts same.
Councilwoman Kaywood returned to Council Chambers (5:45 P.M.)
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, the
City Council accepted the termination as submitted by the Covenant Presbyterian
Church of the lease of City-owned facilities at 124 North Emily Street, provided
that said Church also accepts said termination. To this motion Councilman Pebley
voted "no", and Councilwoman Kaywood abstained, having just returned to Council

tion, it was anticipated that at least the exploration of some use of the Joint

Additionally, Mr. Watts called attention to an item which has not
been included in this agreement, but which is connected with the site which
the City is proposing to grant to the School District. The City is contem-
plating and has made'oral arrangements with Anaheim Hills, Inc., for replace-
ment of that acreage at some other location. This has not yet been consummated
in writing but it is felt that an amendment to the previous agreement wherein
the City acquired approximately 81 acres of park land in the hill and canyon
area would be appropriate. He advised that he could recommend, however, that
the subject agreement between the City and the Orange Unified School District
be approved at this time.

City Hall, Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 25. 1974. 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Davis advised that the Right-o~Way Section has negotiated with
the property owners to shorten the escrow period, including a provision that
the property owners would not request, nor would the City be obligated for
relocation expenses. The escrow would close according to these latest terms,
in 45 days minimum, and would commence the date of acceptance by the City
Council. The sales agreement would also provide for two months, or less, free
rent; and if occupation of the property should run for a longer time, a rental
fee would be subject to negotiation with the stipulation that the City provide
no relocation assistance. Mr. Davis advised Council that both transactions
have been reviewed by the City Attorney's Office.
On motion by Councilman Sneegas, seconded by Councilman Seymour,

OF CITY-OWNED ~RO2F~]~ - EAST SIDE OF LA~VIEW, SOUTH OF LA PALMA (C,P, NO, 12):
The Assistant City Manager reported on an offer from the Orange County Water.
District dated May 22, 1974 to purchase City-owned property located on the east
side of Lakeview, south of La Palma, which was purchased by the City from the
Orange County Water District in 1969 as a fire station site for the sum of
$10,793.00. The Orange County Water District would like to acquire the remaining
portion of this parcel, and in response to their offer, an appraisal was performed
by Cedric White, establishing the fair market value of said property at $27,200.00.
On recommendation of the Assistant City Manager, Councilwoman Kaywood
moved that the City Council authorize sale of that portion remaining of City-owned
parcel CP No. 12, east side of Lakeview, south of La Palma, to the Orange County
Water District for the sum of $27,200.00. Councilman Seymour seconded the motion.

nection with City-owned excess property on Douglas Street which resulted from
realignment of this street. The square footage of the parcel is 33,078.65 net;
and the City does not need this frontage. The adjacent property owner, Hunsaker
Properties, Inc., has offered to purchase this parcel for the sum of $1.00 per
square foot.

owner.

City Council authorized the sale of an excess parcel of City-owned property on
the west side of Douglas Street, south of Katella Avenue, for the sum of $1.00

REC(~NDATION FROM UTILITIBS DIRIECTOR- COI~fRACT.AGREE~NT- DOROTHY D. COREY -
~: The City Manager presented the recou~endation from the Utilities
Director that a contract in the amount of $5,000 be executed between the
City of Anaheim and Dorothy D. Corey Research to conduct a fact-finding
study regarding the Anaheim Electric Utility.
During Council discussion which ensued, Mr. Hoyt outlined the
goals and objectives of the study and gave examples of other electric.
projects and companies who have used this service.
Councilman Seymour expressed the opinion that the timing of this
type of survey would be very bad Just now, in that the respondents would
tend to be biased because they are already about the increased rates which
they have been paying.
Mr. Hoyt felt that this research would provide the essential infor-
mation necessary to enable the utility to effectively communicate with its
customers. Further, he pointed out that there is no "good" time since rates
will undoubtedly continue to increase. Further, they wish to include questions
regarding alternative power sources in the questionnaire and this information
i~ necessary to determine future policy. He noted that the subject of electric
power is enormously complicated and it will be necessary to effectively com-
municate the economic facts in order to obtain the necessary support of the
retail customer.
Councilwoman Kaywoodsugiested that the Utilities Department print
right on the retail electric bills the rate which would be paid if the custo-
mer were paying according to Southern California Edison.rates, fOr comparison
purposes, to which Mr. Hoyt remarked this was considered but would be extremely
expensive to implement.
Mr. Hoyt further indicated that his feeling is if the utility does
not take some positive steps to co~unicate the facts involved in electric
power distribution and generation, the co~,unicatton problem with its custo-
mers will only become worse. He indicated that the research firm selected
is experienced in this field and is able to elicit a good deal of unbiased
information. He reiterated that this approach is employed by every other
electric utility which he can think of except for some of the smaller ones.
Councilman Seymour requested that a sample copy of the type of
questionnaire which is proposed be submitted for review by the Council.
Councilman Sneegas moved that the recommendation for contract
a~reement with Dorothy D. Corey Research be continued for one week and
directed that a sample questiormaire showing the type of results obtained
in these surveys be submitted to the Council. Councilman Pebley seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
FQ~STRTI raiSE - S~a .~m~m PROPERTY: The City Manager reported that interest
has been indicated in negotiation of a lease for use of the City-owned Shorb
Wells property, or a portion thereof, by private individuals for equestrian
purposes. He explained that the potential lessee is currently required to
vacate property in Carbon Canyon and wishes to continue to conduct riding
activt~ies on the Shorb Wells site.
Council indicated no objection ~o She ne~otia~ion for lease of the
Shorb Wells property for equestrian uses.

~TORSGE QF RECREATIONAL. VF/iICI~ES, MOT~I~C¥CLES, gTC.. ON PUBLIC STREETS: Councilwoman
Kaywood introduced the subject of possibly restricting the parking of recreational
vehicles, boats, trailers, motorcycles, etc., on streets and in driveways, calling
the problem the "blight of affluence". Mr. Murdoch reported that the current City
ordinance relating to this matter is very restrictive and any attempts to enforce
same would cause a great deal of difficulty. In 1964-65 and again in 1968 at-
tempts were made to amend that ordinance to recognize and accommodate the current
life-style, however, after much time was spent in public hearings before the
Planning Commission and Council, nothing of note was accomplished.
The Council took no further action.
