1966 TRAFFIC INVENTORY ANALYSIS: Mr. John Hall, District Director, National
Safety Council, briefed the Analysis of Report for Anaheim, 1966 Annual
Traffic Inventory (copies furnished each Councilman).
Mr. Hall urged that certain measures be taken to accomplish desired
gains in accident prevention, outlined as follows:
(a) Pl,grade the City's traffic ordinance to conform with the model traffic
ordinance of the League of California Cities.
(b) Expand the data processing system to include traffic citations, for
better efficiency.
(c) Establish a Coordinating Committee of officials having traffic respon-
sibilities, to be chaired by the City Manager, and having representation
from the City Council, Chief of Police, Police Traffic Division, Traffic
Engineer, Director of Public Works, School Superintendents, Judicial District,
Public Health Department, and possibly the State Division of Motor Vehicles,
Highway Patrol, and other appropriate State agencies.
Expanding on the latter recommendation, Mr. Hall advised that a major
program under development by the Federal Government would require States to
comply with certain traffic safety program standards to be established by the
Secretary of Commerce, the requirement of primary importance being the
Coordinating Committee. He stressed the need for uniformity of traffic
laws and ordinances from state to state.
Mr. Hall commended the City's Traffic Engineering activities on
the high level of performance in traffic planning, control and improvements.
In conclusion, Mr. Hall announced that the first meeting of the new
Orange County Safety Council Board of Directors would be held Wednesday,

report would be taken under advisement.

PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO~ 871: Submitted by Giacomo and Agostina
Lugaro, requesting permission to establish on-sale beer~ C-1 property located
at 540 North Magnolia Avenue.
Review of action taken by the City Planning Commission was ordered
by the City Council, and the City Clerk was directed to schedule public hearing.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson noted the location of subject pro-
perty and the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area. Slide photographs
of the property were projected on the east wall of the Council Chamber, and
Mr. Thompson summarized the evidence submitted to and considered by the City
Planning Commission, together with their findings relative to the denial of
subject application.
Mayor Pro Tem Pebley asked if the applicants or their representa-
tive wished to address the City Council.
Mr. Leonard Birch, Authorized Agent,8338 Birchleaf Avenue, Pico-
Rivera, noted that on-sale beer has been approved in conjunction with a
Mexican restauraDt ~n the same shopping center, whereas the proposed
establishment would serve hofbrau-style food.
Mr. Birch was of the opinion that no school children would come
closer than 100 feet from the proposed establishment, providing they use
the sidewalks in the area.
The Mayor Pro Tem asked if anyone wished to address the City Council
in opposition.
Mrs. James J. Kahler, 526 North Hanover Street, referred to a
petition of opposition submitted to the City Planning Commission, signed by
approximately sixty residents of the area, and advised that letters of protest
were sent to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. She called attention to
the close proximity of subject property to the elementary school at the
northwest corner of Magnolia and Crescent Avenues, and noted that children
often cut across the parking area, passing close to the building in question.
Mrs. Kahler was of the opinion that the proposed operation would
create noise in the residential area, particularly with the rear door on the
east side, and she requested that their children and their homes be protected.
9695
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 27~ 1966, 1:30 PoM.
Councilman Schutte recalled that when the original C-1 zoning was
approved by the City Council (Reclassification No. 59-60-107), deed restric-
tions were required to limit the property to certain uses, which did not
include on-sale beer or other alcoholic beverages.
Mr. Thompson concurred with the foregoing statement, and further
advised that Reclassification No. 64-65-3 pending on subject property, was
subsequently approved by the City Council for unrestricted C-1 zoning, which
would allow development under site development standards of the C-1 zone.
The Mayor Pro Tem asked if anyone else wished to address the Council
in opposition.
Mr. John Ro Hartman, 527 Hanover Street, directly behind subject
property, was of the opinion that the existing Mexican restaurant was not
identical, since they were primarily a restaurant and only recently petitioned
for the on-sale beer; that the proposed operation would be a beer-bar. He
estimated the nearby grocery market to be approximately 25 feet from the
building in question, and noted that neighborhood children frequent said
market.
Mr. Hartman was of the opinion that the proposed business would
be incompatible with the high quality residential area.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Pebley's question, approximately
five additional persons in the Council Chamber indicated their concurrence
with the objections presented.
Mr. Birch stated they would be willing to install "fire" doors on
the east door, limiting the use thereof to exit only.
In response to Councilman Schutte's question, Mr. Birch reported
they had withdrawn their application to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board,
with the intent of requesting a zone change for the property, and making
a new application to the Board at a later date.
Mayor Pro Tem Pebley declared the hearing closed.
RESOLUTION NOo 66R-616: Councilman Schutte offered Resolution No. 66R-616

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES September 27~ 1966~ 1:30 P.Mo
Review of action taken by the City Planning Commission was ordered
by the City Council and the City Clerk directed to set date for public hearing.
Mr. Thompson noted the location of subject property and the existing
uses and zoning in the immediate area; and with the aid of projected slide
photographs, called attention to the portion of commercial building "A" to be
used, and its relationship to the other commercial facilities on the property.
He briefed findings of the City Planning Commission in granting subject
petition, noting that there were no schools nor single family homes in close
proximity to the property..
Mayor Pro Tem Pebley asked if the applicant or his agent wished to
address the City Councilo
Mm Pete Rakovich, 1808 West Lincoln Avenue~ representing the pro-
perty owner, advised that no opposition to the proposed operation was expressed
at the City Planning Commission hearing, and he requested that subject pe-
tition be granted~
The Mayor Pro Tem asked if anyone wished to address the Council in
opposition~
Mrs. Marie Shook, 2820 West Lincoln Avenue, addressed the Council
stating that she operated an Antique Shop in her home, and had no objection
to the existing commercial business on subject property; however, children
pass the property on their way to and from school, and they patronize the
small market, and she felt the type of business proposed would not be an
asset to the neighborhood.
Mrs. Shook noted that a similar request was made for subject pro-
perty several years previously, and was denied on the basis that an elementary
school is located 550 feet to the south. She questioned the granting of
subject request, being of the opinion that there has not been sufficient
change in the area to warrant the use.
In answer to Councilman Schutte's question, Mrs. Shook advised
that she had not appeared at the public hearing before the City Planning
Commission, because of illness.
The Mayor Pro Tem asked if anyone else wished to address the City
Council, there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
RESOLUTION NOo 66R-617: At the conclusion of the discussion that followed,
Councilman Dutton offered Resolution No. 66R-617 for adoption, sustaining

use permit, subject to the recommendation of the Commission.

PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 82: Public hearing was held to
consider City Planning Commission Resolution No. PC66-55, recommending an
amendment to the General. Plan - Highway Rights-of-Way Circulation Element,
designating Riverdale Avenue, from the Anaheim City limits easterly to Taylor

9697
City Hall: Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 27~ 1966~ 1:30 PoMo
Planning Supervisor Ronald Grudzinski referred to the Hill and
Canyon General Plan Map, noting the location of Riverdale Avenue; and
further referred to an exhibit posted on the east wall of the Council Chamber
depicting that portion of the street under consideration.
Mr. Grudzinski advised that the Circulation Element, Highway
Rights-of-Way of the General Plan indicates Riverdale Avenue as a standard
90-foot secondary street from the Riverside Freeway easterly to Taylor
Street. He noted developments approved by the County of Orange in the area,
using the County standard width for secondary arterial highways of 80-feet;
and that two subdivisions have been constructed and the street developed at
80 feet. He noted that the paved portion of the street could remain at a
standard width of 64-feet by reducing parkways from the standard 13 feet to
8 feet, thereby retaining the traffic capacity of the street.
Mr. Grudzinski referred to the recommendations of the City Planning
Commission as set forth in Resolution No. PC66-55, and reported that at a
review held subsequent to the adoption of said resolution, it was noted
that Tract No. 5409 in the City of Anaheim also reflects an 80-foot arterial
highway width, and therefore it was the recommendation of the Staff that
the designation of that portion of the street included in General Plan
Amendment No. 82 be amended to read as follows:
"Riverdale Avenue from the centerline of Redrock Street in Tract 5409
easterly to Taylor Street."
The Mayor Pro Tem asked if anyone wished to address the City Council
concerning the proposed amendment to the General Plan, there being no response,
declared the hearing closed.

of time to Reclassification No. 65-66-89 and Variance No. 1761 for compliance with

360 day extension of time was granted by the City Council, on motion
by Councilman Dutton, seconded by Councilman Pebley. Councilman Schutte abstained
from voting. MOTION CARRIED~
RECLASSIFICATION NOo 60-61-2 AND TRACT NOo 3812: Request of L. Frederick Pack and
Associates for release of Bond No. 471139 posted in lieu of required construction
of 6-foot masonry wall along the westerly boundary of developed R-3 property
described in Reclassification No. 60-61-2, was submitted for Council consideration
together with reports of the City Engineer and Development Services Departments.
On the recommendations of the Development Services Department, Councilman
Dutton moved that the release of said bond be authorized. Councilman Schutte
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED°
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NOo 346: Communication from Kenyon K. Kohne, Attorney re-
presenting the owners, dated August 29, 1966, requesting elimination of require-
ment for 6-foot masonry wall along the southerly boundary of R-3 property, located
at 920 South Nutwood Street, said wall required by Condition No. 4, City Planning
Commission Resolution No. 611, Series 1962-63, granting Conditional Use Permit
No. 346, was submitted for Council consideration together with reports from the
Development Services Department.
On the recommendations of the Development Services Department, Council-
man Dutton moved that said request, be denied. Councilman Schutte seconded the
motion.
Mr. Kohne submitted a map illustrating subject property and adjacent
areas, and advised that the walls have been constructed on the north and east
boundaries, and barricades erected to prevent tenants from using the east-west
drive on property adjacent to the south for access to Ball Road and Nutwood
Street. However residents of the R-3 property to the east drive around the
barricades across undeveloped C-1 property to the south in order to gain access
to the drive, and neighbors have complained about the resulting traffic, noise
and dust problem. In his opinion, the erection of the wall on the south property
line will not eliminate the cause of these complaints, however the installation
of a wall along the east boundary of the R-3 drive and the C-1 property to the
south in conjunction with current commercial development taking place, would re-
solve the problem.
In answer to Mayor Pro Tem Pebley's question, Mr. Thompson reported
that the Traffic Engineer and Development Services Department have received
numerous complaints from the residents of the area that the R-3 drive south of
subject property is functioning as a primary access-way for both R-3 developments.
Map of the area was reviewed by the City Council, members of the Staff
and Mr. Kohne, and discussion held. At the conclusion thereof, Councilmen Dutton
and Schutte withdrew their motion and second.

PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NOo 66-67-10 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.
869:
Submitted by Francis Lo and Wreatha Ro Ricker, requesting change of zone
from R-1 to C-l, and permission to establish an automobile service station
within 75 feet of R-1 zoned property; subject property located at the north-
west corner of Lincoln Avenue and Sunkist Street (2459 and 2453 East Lincoln
Avenue).
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolutions Nos. PC66-45
and PC66-46, recommended denial of Reclassification No. 66-67-10 and denied
Conditional Use Permit No. 869.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson noted the location of subject
property and the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and with
the aid of projected slide photographs he illustrated subject properties
presently developed with residential dwellings. He summarized the
evidence presented to and considered by the City Planning Commission, and
called attention to findings noted in the resolutions of the Commission
denying subject applications.
Mayor Pro Tem asked if the applicants or their representative
wished to address the City Council.
Mr. Dale Heinly, Authorized Agent, 611 West 8th Street, Santa
Ana, addressed the Council calling attention to the heavy traffic both
in Lincoln Avenue and Sunkist Street, and displayed a drawing from the
State Division of Highways illustrating an off-ramp of the future Orange
Freeway, which would cut off a portion of service station property located
at the northeast corner of the intersection; and he noted that subject
property was situated in ]ine with traffic which will use said off-ramp.
Mr. Heinly was of the opinion that most home owners along Lincoln
Avenue desired to develop their properties for commercial purposes, due
to existing traffic conditions, and that the situation would be compounded
with the advent of the new freewaY. £hat although property owners i~new that
Lincoln Avenue was a well travelled t~roughfare when the homes were purchased,
they were not aware of the future freeway, and sufficient change had taken
place in the area to warrant the construction of the service station at
an intersection which had one such station operating at the present time.
The Mayor Pro Tem asked if anyone wished to address the City
Council in opposition to the proposed service station.
Mr. Samuel Caldaronello, 2449 East Paradise Road, Vice President
of Anaheim-Sunkist Property Owners Association, stated that the proposed
use would constitute spot zoning in a residential area, and he reaffirmed
the Association's statements of opposition to the service station at the
northeast corner of the intersection (Conditional 'Use Permit No. 525,
public hearing February 18, 1964).
Mr. Caldaronello further advised that he purchased his home
approximately eight years ago and was aware of the traffic on Lincoln
Avenue at the time of purchase. He called attention to the high standards
of maintenance and upkeep practiced by the property owners, and requested
that the residential integrity of the area be protected.
9704
City Hall~ Anaheim: California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 27, 1966~ 1:30 PoMo
Mrs. James Enloe, 143 Paradise Lane, noted the community spirit
and pride of ownership displayed by the majority of residents in the area.
She objected to the construction of the service station, and noted that the
well kept homes and beautiful parkways made this area an attractive entrance
into East Anaheim.
Mr. Bob Wilson and Mr. Richard Carden, 2312 and 2318 Paradise Road,
respectively, addressed the Council in opposition, and concurred with
statements of Mr. Caldaronello and Mrs. Enloe.
In reponse to question of the Mayor Pro Tem, approximately twelve
persons indicated their presence in opposition to the proposed development.
Councilman Pebley asked if anyone else wished to address the City
Council.
Mr. S. D. Newcomb, 2421 East Lincoln Avenue, noted that he was
one of two original owners of property in the neighborhood of Lincoln Avenue,
and called attention to the noise and dust of the traffic. He expressed
the hope that owners of those properties fronting Lincoln Avenue would be
permitted to sell for commercial purposes, because of difficulties encountered
in attempting to sell for residential uses.
Mr. Charles Gratuas, owner of property at 2427 East Lincoln Avenue,
advised that he moved away because of the heavy traffic, which increased
substantially during the two one-half years he resided at that one location.
Mr. Tom Maxwell., 2443 East Lincoln Avenue, advised that he was
another original owner of a home on Lincoln Avenue, and he concurred with
objections previously stated.
Mr. Bob Carter, owner of property at 2433 East Lincoln Avenue,
described difficulties in renting the dwelling, and noted the approximate
amounts of recent home sales in the neighborhood.
In rebuttal, Mr. Heinly was of the opinion that the opposition to
the service station seemed to be chiefly from residents of Paradise Road
and Paradise Lane. He called attention to existing service stations at
the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Rio Vista Street, and failed to see
how the proposed attractive ranch-styled station could be a burden to the
neighborhood.
The Mayor Pro Tem declared the hearing closed.
Council discussion was held and attention called to the many homes
in the city along arterial streets and highways.
Councilman Dutton noted that a substantial change would take place
in subject area in several years, when the Orange Freeway is opened, and
requests for additional commercial uses in the area could be more appropriate-
ly considered at that time.
RESOLUTION NOo 66R-628: Councilman Dutton offered Resolution No. 66R-628

PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO° 66-67-11 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NOo 870:
Submitted by Argus Investments requesting change of zone from R-3 to C-1
on portions A and B; and permission to establish an automobile service
station within 75 feet of a residential zone, at the intersection of a
secondary highway and a local street on Portion A only. Property briefly
described as fol]ows: Portion A - Located at the northwest corner of
Jefferson Street and Santa Ana Canyon Road; Portion B - Located on the
west side of Jefferson Street, the southerly boundary being north of the
centerline of Santa Ana Canyon Road, adjacent to the northerly boundary
of Portion A.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolutions Nos. PC66-43
and PC66-44, recommended denial of Reclassification No. 66-67-11, and
denied Conditional Use Permit No. 870.
Also submitted was communication dated July 21, 1966, from Lester
Marshall, Authorized Agent, requesting that, in the event subject applica-
tions are approved, dedicated vehicular access rights on Lots 57 through
61 of Tract No. 4643 be abandoned.
Slide photographs of subject property were projected on the east
wall of the Council Chamber, and Mr. Thompson noted the location of the
property and the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area. He
summarized the evidence submitted to and considered by the City Planning
Commission, calling attention to the findings set forth by the Commission.
Mayor Pro Tem Pebley asked if a representative of the applicants
wished to address the City Council.
Mr. Lester Marshall, 51.3 Las Riendas Drive, Fullerton, California,
one of the petitioners, adwised that the property has been under study
for a considerable length of time. Because of the heavy traffic which
will be using Jefferson Street upon its extension across the Riverside
Freeway and construction of related off-ramp, it was determined that
apartments would be undesirable for subject property; therefore, commercial
development with ranch-styled buildings, attractive landscaping and a
medical-dental facility in a northernmost portion of the building to
buffer the other commercial uses, was deemed a feasible development for
subject property.
Mr. Marshall was of the opinion that an apartment development
would generate more traffic into the alley on the west side of the property,
since garages would be located in that area. He called attention to the
block wall proprosed for the west boundary of the property behind the
proposed service station on the corner of Santa Ana Canyon Road, which
would preclude traffic entering the alley from the station.
In answer to Council questioning, Mr. Marshall advised that they
do not own the R-3 lots to the west of subject property. He noted that
the proposed development will be visible from only one or two residences
to the west, and stated it has been their experience that apartment
developments are more successful when located within walking distance of
a shopping area.
9706
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 27~ 19667 1:30 PoM.
The Mayor Pro Tem asked if anyone wished to address the Council
in opposition.
Mrs. Martin B. Morgan, 217 Kennebeck Drive, objected to the noise
and lights which would emanate from the proposed development, noting that
the living areas in most of the homes face Jefferson Street. She was of
the opinion that there was sufficient existing commercial property in the
area, and requested subject petitions be denied.
In answer to Council questioning, Mrs. Morgan stated that the
granting of subject applications would be an intrusion into their privacy,
and would establish a precedent for additional requests for service stations
and other cormnercial uses.
Mrs. Richard Fox, 206 North Kennebeck Drive, pointed out the
elementary school crossing on Jefferson Street, and objected to the increased
traffic which would result' if subject applications were approved.
Mr. Lester Noe, Vice President of Prudential Savings and Loan,
owners of 29 R-3 zoned lots adjacent to the property, objected to any
commercial development on subject property.
In rebuttal, Mr. Marshall advised that the medical-dental portion
of the proposed commercial facility would possibly be the only portion
directly across the existing single-family homes, and the lighting should
not cause problem. He noted that the closest shopping center was more than
one-half mile away.
Mr. Marshall noted that Jefferson Street would be a major
boulevard carrying a great deal of traffic, and he was of the opinion that
the proposed development would be an asset to the city.
The Mayor Pro Tem declared the hearing closed.
RESOLUTION NOo 66R-630: At the conclusion of the discussion that followed,

REQUEST FOR ABANDONMENT OF DEDICATED VEHICULAR ACCESS RIGHTS TO JEFFERSON

held August 15, 1966, was submitted recommending that request for abandonment
9707
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 27, 1966~ 1:30 P.M.
of the dedication of vehicular access rights to Jefferson Street be dis-
approved, and setting forth their reasons therefor.
No action was taken by the City Council on said request.
PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NOo 66-67-12 AND VARIANCE NOo 1819: Submitted
by Frank Muller and Mrs. Walter Muller requesting change of zone from R-A
to C-0, and waiver of maximum building height; property located on the
south side of Lincoln Avenue, the easterly boundary located west of the
centerline of Broadview Street.
The City Planning Commission pursuant to Resolutions Nos. PC66-48
and PC66-49 recommended denial of Reclassification No. 66-67-12 and denied
Variance 1819.
Mr. Thompson noted the location of subject property and the
existing uses and zoning in the immediate area. He summarized the evidence
submitted to and considered by the City Planning Commission, and noted
findings of the Commission contained in their resolutions. Slide photo-
graphs were projected on the east wall of the Council Chamber illustrating
the existing dwelling on the property in question.
Mayor Pro Tem Pebley asked if the applicants or their repre-
sentative wished to address the City Council.
Mr. David Hook, Authorized Agent, 1780 West Lincoln Avenue,
advised that they had only a pencil sketch available for display at the
Planning Commission hearing; since that time, they have contacted neighbors
and fully explained their plan for the two-story office building proposed.
He submitted into evidence a petition of approval, signed by
residents of seven homes on Embassy Avenue, Emerald Place, Echo Place and
Nutwood Street, and the owners of undeveloped property fronting on Lincoln
Avenue immediately adjacent to subject property on the east. He displayed
the sketch of the general area depicting those properties which are re-
presented on said petition.
Mr. Hook showed slide photographs of the existing dwelling on
subject property, renderings of the various elevations of the proposed
development, aerial photographs of the area in question and other develop-
ments on Lincoln Avenue adjacent to single-family homes.
He advised that their intent was to retain the existing old
Pepper tree on the premises, and he noted the proposed landscaped berm
along the south boundary, together with slumpstone walls in keeping with
the Spanish Style architecture, and the use of opaque glass in the windows
adjacent to residential properties in order to afford protection to the
homes. He stated there would be no ingress nor egress requested from
residential streets; that in addition to the 35-foot front setback, the
first 10 feet of the building structure actually will consist of a walk-
way along th~ ~ront of the building~
In Mr~ Hook's opinion, a commercial office was the least
objectionable development adjacent to single family homes, and he advised
they are attempting to create a professional atmosphere along Lincoln
Avenue without "strip" commercial.
Regarding vacant property immediately to the east, Mro Hook noted
tentative plans for a professional building at that location, and he felt
that the proposed developmemt on subject property would establish a pre-
cedent for further development ~n the area.
The Mayor Pro Tem asked if anyone else wished to address the
City Council lin favor of the proposed development~
Mr. William Payton, 103 Echo Place, adwised that he had expressed
opposition to subject applications at the Planning Commission hearing,
but after viewing the elevations and plot plan, he concluded that the
proposal would be a feasible use of the property~
9708
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL ~MiNUTES - September 27~ 1966~ 1:30 PoMo
Mr. Payton referred to t~e sketch placed on display by the pe-
titioner's representative, noting the location of his own residence, and
reported that he was not planning commercial development of his property
which extended to Lincoln Avenue. He advised of his eleven year re-
sidency in the neighborhood, noting that he was one of the charter members
of the Lincoln Park Civic Association, which had worked towards retaining
the residential integrity of the area.
The Mayor Pro Tem asked ~f anyone wished to address the City
Council in opposition.
Mr. J. H. Vonderloh, 114 Emerald Place, stated he was also a
charter member of said civic ass.ociation, and advised that a C-1 zoning and
motel use, requested for subject property had been denied by the City Council
in January of 1965. He called attention to the high quality of the homes
in the area, and noted extensive additions and improvements to his home.
Mr. Richard E. Tevlin, 106 Echo Place, noted that in the past the
City Council had designated Embassy Avenue to remain single family residen-
tial. He expressed concern that in the future, Muller Street might be
extended south of Lincoln Avenue directly into their neighborhood.
In Mro Tevlin's opinion, a precedent for depth of commercial pro-
perties on the south side of Lincoln Avenue had been established, and he
felt the proposed development would be excellent, if limited to the front
half of the property.
Mr. James Chavos, 1903 Embassy Avenue, addressed the Council
advising that his residence was 150 feet from subject property, and if the
applications were granted, in his opinion, should he desire to sell his home,
no long term financing would be available and the residential atmosphere
of the area would be losto
Mrs~ Jan Payton, 103 Echo Place, was of the opinion that the
proposed development was far superior to many that might be requested, and
she noted the provisions for protection of residential property.
In rebuttal, Mr. Hook displayed a plot plan of the property,
noting the rear building setback with parking and driveway on the south
side of the building. He was of the opinion that with the wall and the
landscaped berm, pedestrians on Embassy Avenue would not be aware of the
existance of a commercial office building.
Mayor Pro Tem Pebley declared the hearing closed.
Discussion was held by the City Council., and Councilman Schutte
recalled that some years previously the Council had worked together with
the property owners in the area, determining that commercial development
should be confinded to L~ncoln Avenue frontage and the area extending
southerly from the properties on the north side of Embassy Avenue should
be retained for residential development.
Councilman Dutton was of the opinion that the proposed development
was a good use of subject property; however, to allow commercial development
on property extending to the residential street adjacent to single family
homes would establish a precedent for requests for commercial encouragement
into the residential area~

PUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 66-67-14~ GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NOo 81~
AND RECLASSIFICATION NO0 61-62-69: Initiated by the City Planning Commission
concerning P-L, Parking-Landscaping zoned portions of those parcels of
land adjacent to arterial highways which are in the M-1 and M-2 Industrial
Zones.
RECLASSIFICATION NOo 66-67-14: The City Planning Commission, pursuant to
Resolution No. PC66-52, recommended a change of zone from P-L to M-1 and
M-2, in accordance with the existing zoning on the balance of the land
adjacent to subject properties.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NOs 81: Pursuant to Resolution No. PC66-53, the
City Planning Commission recommended approval of General Plan Amendment
No. 81, changing the present general description and extent of land uses
in those areas presently designated as the "Landscaped Buffer" areas along
arterial streets and highways within the City of Anaheim's industrial areas.
RECLASSIFICATION NOo 61-62-69: The City Planning Commission, pursuant to
Resolution No. PC66-54, recommended an amendment to Resolution of Intent
No. 62R-335 (M-I, Northeast Industrial area), deleting the P-L, Parking
and Landscaping zone from said resolution, and updating the street names
within said resolution for certain streets, as follows:
Anaheim Road to Miraloma Avenue
Placentia-Yorba Boulevard to Crowther Avenue
Los Angeles Street to Anaheim Boulevard.
And further amending legal description with reference to Findings Nos.
1, 2 and 3 that refer to the general boundaries of the industrial area,
as follows:
That the City should establish the easterly Right-of-Way line of Route
19, the Orange Freeway Right-of-way, as the westerly boundary and the
northerly Right-of-way line of the Riverside Freeway as the southerly
boundary of the Northeast Industrial Area.
o
That the entire area delimited by the southerly Right-of-way line of
Orangethorpe Avenue and Crowther Avenue (formerly Placentia-Yorba Blvd.)
on the north, the northerly Right-of-way line of the Riverside Freeway
and the northerly boundary of the Santa Ana River on the South, the
easterly Right-of-way line of the Orange Freeway Right-of-way on the
west, and the westerly Right-of-way line of the Imperial Freeway Right-
of-way on the east should be designated for industrial use on the
Anaheim General. Plan.
9710
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - September 27, 1966, 1:30 PoMo
That the entire area delimited by the southerly Right-of-way line of
Ball Road on the north, the easterly and northeasterly Right of way
lines of Anaheim Boulevard (formerly Los Angeles Street) and the Santa
Ana Freeway on the west, and the southwest, and the westerly boundary
line of the Santa Ana River on the east should be designated for in-
dustrial use on the Anaheim General Plan.
Assistant Planner Charles Roberts displayed a base map illustrating
the locations of P-L zones throughout the industrial areas of the City.
He briefed the staff report for studies conducted relative to industrial
zones, and noted findings of the City Planning Commission in recommending
approval of subject petitions, advising that Site Development Standards
have been established for the M-1 and M-~2 zones, providing for setbacks,
landscaping and parking, rendering P-L zones along arterial streets and
highways unnecessary.
Mr. Roberts reported that P-L zones on both sides of Lewis Street
and Cerritos Avenue in the southeast industrial area were deleted from
action taken by the Commission for further consideration, since 25-foot
setbacks had been established by the City Council in these areas. He
requested an expression from the City Council concerning Lewis Street and
Cerritos Avenue setbacks, advising that if separate reclassifications were
initiated from said P-L zones to M-1 zoning, a 60-foot setback would be
required.
Mr. Roberts further reported that the south side of Vermont
Street, between the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way and East Street,
was not included in subject applications; that said street is presently
designated as a local street on the Circulation Element of the General Plan,
and if the 50-foot P-L zone were changed to M-l, a local street would re-
quire a 5-foot setback. The staff was to give further study to the traffic
conditions in said area to determine whether Vermont Street should be up-
graded to arterial highway designation, prior to making recommendation to
the City Planning Commission and City Council.
In summation, the recommendations of the City Planning Commission
were that all of the areas presently zoned P-L, in conjunction with industrial
zones, as more precisely described in legal description accompanying Re-
classification No. 66-67-14, be rezoned from P-L to M-1 and M-2, except the
south side of Vermont Avenue between the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-
way and East Street, both sides of Lewis Street between Ball Road and Katella
Avenue, and both sides of Cerritos Avenue between Anaheim Boulevard and the
easterly city limits.
Mayor Pro Tem Pebley asked if anyone wished to address the City
Council relative to subject reclassifications and general plan amendment,
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
