The Mayor declared Resolution Ho. 70R-525 duly passed and adopted.
Submitted by John T. and Phyllis J. Allen, to

described as 1609 East Sycamore gtreet, with waivers of:

a. lttntmum required dwelling unit floor area.
b. Nlnt~um number of required parking spaces.
The City Planning Counission, pursuant to Resolution Ns. PC70-
163, denied said variance.
Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Con~ission was
filed by 5ohn T. Allen, Applicant, and public hearing scheduled this
date.
Zonin~ Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of sub-
Ject property, the existing uses and zoning in the ~diate area, and
briefed the evidence submitted to and considered by the City Planning
Commission. He advised that subject petition was occasioned by Appli-
cant' constructing an additional non-conforming apartment, subsequent
to final inspection on the building permit, for an 8-unit apartment com-
plex.
In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Roberts advised the non-
conforming apartment was brought to the attention of the Development
Services Department through an anonymous complaint.
Councilman Pebley, recalling a similar incident where a fruit
stand on Euclid Avenue was approved subsequent to construction being
completed, was advised by Mr. Roberts that 'the fruit stand involved a
temporary structure, whereas subject apartment unit was a permanent
structure, and thus different regulations applied.
llayor Dutton asked if the Applicant was present and ~rlshed to
address the Council.
5ohn T, Allen, 18211Nandarin Lane, Yorba Linda, advised his
life savings were used for the down payment on the purchase of the apart-
ment complex in question, leaving himwith no extra capital, particu-
larly if there should .be a vacancy in one of the eight units; therefore,
the garage and adjoining storage unit were converted to an apartment,
to provide additional income.
Hr. Allen presented a petition, Supposedly signed by the pres-
ent eight tenants of subject apartment complex (one vacancy), stating
there were no parking problems because of the less than required parking
spaces for the project. He also presented for Council review-photographs
to support his contention that the use of a presently illegal space for
parking did not interfere with access to the apartment complex, and thus
should be approved as a.required parking space; and also a statement, sup-
posedly st~ned by the tenant in the non-conforming apartment unit, stat-
ing the size of that unit suited his needs.
Mr. Allen stated he believed the submitted photographs showed
the apartment unit in question was neat in appearance and, in his opin-
ion, vas an asset to 'Anaheim, rather than a nuisance to anyone. He re-
quested the variance be approved, after which he could obtain the neces-
sary building permit and open the unit for inspection.
In answer to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Allen said he did not
apply for a building permit because he did notrealize the additional
unit ~ould violate any City ordinance.
Council_~_~ Dutton expressed the opinion that situations such
as this are too co~on, where the law is violated to obtain something
desired, and then the expectation is the act will be approved since it
already has been conenttted.
Counctlman Thom agreed with Councilman Dutton, stating he be-
lieved any hardship in this situation was.created by the Applicant's own
act, and if the requested variance were approved, all other SUch requests
should be approved.
70-587
City ~all,.An.a~.eim, Cqlifornia - COUNCIL .K[~S - November 3, 1970, 1:30 P.H.
Hr. Allen stated he'felt at the time he constructed the apartment
unit in question he. probably should have had a buildin$ permit; however, since
the roof structure already was over the garage and the completed storage space
that was converted into the apartment, and thus there was no structural change
of any type, he did not realize heuras violating the law.
Councilman Clark asked if there was any way to purchase additional
land in order to enlarge the 330-square foot apartment unit in question to
the required size and also provide for the necessary parking spaces.
Hr. Allen advised the apartment unit possibly could be enlarged, but
it would be difficult to provide the required parking space. He stated that
three automobiles easily could be parked in the area he is attempting to es-
tablish as one legal parking space, and that one automobile presently does
use it for parking and it has caused no ingress or egress problems.
Hr. Roberts advised the parking area in question is not acceptable
from the standpoint of the Fire Department, since it obstructs easy access
from the walkvays to the apartment ~nits, and if the Fire Department responded
to a call from the apartment complex it would have extreme, difficulty getting
through if a car was.park~ddth~re,. He stated that, in his opinion, the pro-
perty in question is developed to its ultimate at the mOment.
Mr. Allen stated he believed the driveway was wide enough to allow
fire-fighting equipment to get through with an automObile parked in the space
in question, since rubbish trucks have no difficulty.
Asked by Councilmen Thom if he lived in the apartment complex being
discussed, Hr. Allen advised that, although he originally intended to have his
son live there, it was purchased as income property.
Replying to Councilman Pebley, Hr. Roberts advised that there pres-
entlyare nine parkinS spaces provided for the nine apartment units now in
existence. Councilman Pebley thereupon stated that several older apartment
complexes in Anaheim have a one-for-one parking space ration.
City Attorney Joseph B. Geisler advised that if the subject petition
were denied, the Applicant vould be required to restore the one apar~nent unit
to its original use as a garase; the only way the apartment unit rightfully
could be approved vould be by chan~ing the standards for R-3 units to 300-square
foot miniamm size, instead of the present requirement of 800-square feet. He
added that approving the variance without changing the Code requirements would
place a premium on law violations and asked the Council if they would have ap-
proved the petition if it had been presented prior to construction. The Coun-
cil agreed they would not have approved such a petition originally.
Referring to the aforementioned approval of a temporary fruit stand
structure on Euclid Avenue, after its co~letion, Hr. Geisler reminded the
Council they had agreed they vould have approved that request if it had been
made prior to construction, vhereas they admitted they would not have approved
the petition under discussion if it had been presented before construction.
He stated that an approval in this instance vould make it difficult to enforce
existing City ordinances.
Hr. Allen stated that the City Planning Commission had previously
mentiOned a minimum apartment size of ~00-square feet and asked if those stand-
ards had been changed.
. lit. ROberts advised that 425-Square feet is a guidline used by the
CltyPlann~ ~Sston in °g~aSionallY allOvingl sOme aPartment deVeloPments
to Construct up to 25%of total units as bachelor apartments, With a minimum
size of 425-square feet.
Hayor l)utton asked if anyone vished to address the Council in oppo-
sition; there betn~'no respOnse, declared the hearinS closed.
70- 588
California- COUNCIL HINgTES- l~.~er.3, 1970, 1:30 P.M,
Councilman Thom stated he felt sustaintns the City Planning
Coe~ission denial ~ould not hurt the Applicant too ~uch since the off-
$tnal strUcture would be ~aintained, and thus .he would offer the Resolu-
tion denying the variance request. He reiterated his belief that the
Applicant's hardship was self~inflicted.
Hr. Allen advised that he had elevated the cement floor of the
garage in converting it to 'apartment use, and that it would be as much
~ork to remove the con,ruction as it was to put it in-. Therefore, he
requested that if the subject apartment unit use is denied he be allowed
to abangon the use of the apartment, revert its use to storage, and have
the subject parkt~ space legalized.
Hr. Roberts advised approval of a parking space waiver would
be required, if the Council agreed to Hr. Allen's request, since the ex-
istin$ parking spaces did not meet even the old requirements.
Councilman Thom recommended denying requested Waiver 'a," ap-
proving requested Waiver 'b", and allowing the use of the existing struc-
ture for storage.
In answer to Councilman Stephenson, Hr. Roberts advised that
allowtn~ the use of the parkin$ space in question would not block access
for fire-fiEhting equipment unless an automobile was parked in front of
the accessway.
Hr. Allen stated he believed there is no access problem,but in
any event he vould have no way of stopping cars from parking in an area,
however, in reply to Councilman Clark, he advised he would be willing to
stipulate no parking in the area.
.P~S0~UTION NO. 70R, 526: Councilman Thom offered Resolution No. 70R-526
for adoption, srantin~ Variance No. 2197 in part, denying Waiver "a",
granting Waiver "b", on condition the area be converted into storage
space, with parking prohibited as stipulated to by the Applicant.

1 8 - OF . Submitted by C.J.
queyrel, InacaI ~~tn-= Ceeq~ay, requesttn~ a one (1) year extension of
tim to said tracts. Proper~y lecated on the south side of Santa Ana Canyon
Road, east of Solomon Drive. (Resolution of Intent to R-l).
A decision on the requested extension of time was deferred to this
date, f-ro~ the ~eetin~ of October 20, 1970, for sub, asian of development
plans for review and approval by the City Council.
Zonin~ Supervisor Charles P~berts advised development plans have
been submitted by the Applicant, showin~ four different models proposed for
construction, the thrae-bedro~, t~0-.bath ho~es having 1,225- square feet of
spase~ and the fout~bedro0~, t~o-bath hiness having 1,472-square feet of space.
The pl~s wre reviesmg by ~he Council.
Mt. i~oberts reported that the Development Services Staff and City
Plelm~ Coamission had revtmmd the plans and were of the opinion the ele-
vations as indicated vere Considerably i~proved over the original plans. He
advised the City Plam~t~ C~mission had reco~ended the development plans be
approved on the basis that they substantially conformed to the intended qual-
ity of ho~es to be developed in the area when subject application originally
was approved.

In answer to Councilmen Pebley, Councilman Dutton explained
the delay vas occasioned by the desire of the'CounCil and the area resi-
ns to 'have better-quality homes in the area than what may have been
erected under their 'low cost housin$' 'advertisin$, and the recently-
constructed homes nov in existence west of this proposed develnmnent. He
stated that the Developer was very cooperative and asreed to spend more
e~ney and revise his development plans to provide a better home, the re-
mlt of ~htch was sho~n by .the development plans submitted for review and
approval at this ~eetin~.
Council~n Pebley advised he would prefer to see nice, 4-unit
to~nhouses, than ~hat was submitted this date.
Councilman Thom Stated he ~ould not disagree ~rith Councilman
Peblay; however, the plans submitted this date, in his opinion, were far
better than what vas Originally sub~itted.
I/sync Turner, 6017 La Paz I/aY, Walnut Canyon, whose Property
is adjacent to the subject area, asked how much house there could be in
a 1,200-square foot home, and advised that some apartments he is working
on in the City of Orange have a larger square-foot area. He stated the
opinion that the subject development, as proposed, would depreciate his
property.
Councilman Thom advised that the development necessarily would
conform to City Codes, however, the Council had been dissatisfied with
the drab, monotonous appearance of the original development plans, and
the revised plans submittadtoday were improved aesthetically.
~r. Turner asked what the cost of the proposed homes would be,
statio~ there still are 23 homes left to sell in this area.
Councilman Thom advised the Council had no control over the cost
of the homes; their concern was with the quality and, in his opinion, the
aesthetics of the proposed development would not depreciate the neighbor-
hood.
On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Dutton, the
development pl.ans, as sub~itted, were apprOved. HOTION CARRIED.

City llall. An~etm. galtf, ornia - ~I~I~]IUTBS - November 3, 1970, 1:30 P.M,
ventton Center on llmmnber 1, 1970. Mr. Harzberg stated the economic situa-
tion of the nation today ·leo has been reflected on the money available to
charitable organizations, and the proposed golf to~nament is an attempt to
raise funds for the Boy Scout Organization to help alleviate a serious fin-
ancial situation faced by the organization. Another purpose of the proposed
tournament would be to give recognition to citizens of the community who have
given,~reely of their time and effort in supporting the Boy Scout Program.
Councilman Pebley advised Hr. Herzberg that every member of the City
Council is a suet·thins member of the Boy Scout Organization; however, if their
request was granted, similar requests ~rom other organizations, such as Little
League, would have to be approved.
Mr. Herzberg stated th·t, while the Boy Scouts are supported almost
entirely.by voluntary contributions, organizations such as the Little League,
are self-sustainin~.
Councilman Dutton stated that a different policy probably could be
adopted when the proposed new municipal golf course in the Canyon area is com-
pleted.
Mr. Fdirdoch suggested that, since one of their requested dates is
on a Monday, which normally is a slow day for private golf courses, arrange-
ments possibly could be made to hold their Tournament on one of the private
goIf courses in the ·re·. He also suggested that perhaps a regular tourna-
ment, which would not tie up a whole golf course as much as a "Shot-Gun" Tour-
nament, would be easier to arrange with a course.
With regard to public inconvenience, Mr. Nurdoch st·ted that, al-
though Mr. Herzber$ had indic·ted the proposed tournament would be open to
the public and, therefore, nobody would be barred from the course on that day,
the Scout organizattonwould be chargin~ a larger fee than normally charged,
and this would, in essence, cause some discrimination.
Councilman Clark asked if the Scout organizationwould be willing 'to
change their tournament to regular rotation play, rather than "Shot-Gun" play.
George Cowden, 520 Archer Street, Scout Executive, advised the Scout
Organization would be willing to chan~e the type of tournament to regular ro-
tation play.
Hr. ~rdoch su~stad the availability of other courses in the com-
munity be checked first; if such is not practical, that the Scout Organiza-
tion again discuss the matter with the Anaheim ltmicipal Golf Course Superin-
tendent, to ascertain if something could be worked out.
Willim.Eilers, 1501Westcliff Drive, Nevport Beach, in the aud-
teac· for another agenda ite~, advised his recent experience with a "Shot-
Gun'* tournament at Irvine Countr~ Club, indicating the event had little ef-
fect on the regular play for that day.
Mr. Nurdoch said he ~as not optimistic about the availability of
the Anaheim l~micipal Golf Course for even a regular rotatin~ tournament
since there is exceptionally heavy play on that course Just about all the
ti~e, and a~ain suUested · private course would be more appropriate.
In answer to Council]Mn Stephenson, Mr. Cowden advised there pres-
ently are 72 pereons who have indicated · desire to participate in their
proposed tournffaent, at · coot of $15.00 each, which would include supper.

Cit¥ Hall, Anahe~n, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Nove~.er 3, 1.970, 1:30 P.M.
Councilmen Thom and Clark indicated they would be in favor of
allovin~ the tournament on a regular, rotating basis.
, Councilman Stephenson suggested Hanasement investigate further,
to determine whether such a tournament would be practical.
In answer to Councilman Clark, Hr. Covden advised that private
golf courses had been approached for their tournament, but their costs
presented a problem.
Hr. Nurdoch advised that if the Councildesired to give 'a pre-
ference to a group to play on the golf course, a regular, rotating ~tour-
nament could be vorked out; however, this would mean keeping other people
off the course.
Councilman Stephenson moved to deny such a reqaest. Council-
man Dutton seconded the motion.
Hr. l~urdoch advised he would be willing to york with the ~olf
Course Superintendent regarding a determination as to the physical pos-
sibility of such a golf tournament if the Council wished to broaden its
policy to include tournaments along with regular play. He also advised
he ~ould work with the Scout Organization in an effort to secure the use
of a private golf course for their tournament.
Councilman Stephensonvtthdrew his motion to deny said request.
Councilman Dutton withdrew his second to the motion,
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Thom,
said request was referred to the City Nanager to check with private golf
courses, and if none are available, to again check with the Anaheim Muni-
cipal Coif Course Superintendent, to determine if a tournament on a week-
day, on a rotating basis, might be held without excessive restriction on
the general public and. normal play.' NOTION'CARRIED.

At the invitation of Nayor Dutton, Nfs. Ann Ballard, 131 South
Na~nolia Avenue, Applicant, addressed the Council.
Nfs. Ballard contended there vas no need for the alley separat-
in~ her t~o properties to connect with the alley at the west boundary
of her property, since access to the property covered under Reclassifica-
-rios No. 68-69-9 vas available from Lincoln Avenue.

~rs. Ballard asked .th·t, if her request to close the alley is de-
nied, sc~e alternate proposal be made to cut down the traffic through the
alley. Upon Council~an Dutton's adet~ Chat the alley ori$tnally was instal-
led to alleviate access and drainage problems, Mrs. Ballard stated she had
purchased the property from the-developer and had only learned of the drain-
age problem subsequent to sub~ssion of her request. She ~urther stated that,
prior to submittin~ her request to close the alley, she had attempted to have
bumper strips or speed limit signs installed in the alley and had been denied
these requests.
In reply to Councilman Pebley, Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts
advised it would be possible for tenants of the motel situated.,on the property
covered by Reclassification No. 68-69'9 to gain access by Lincoln Avenue; how-
ever, this ~ould put an added traffic burden on Lincoln Avenue. He further
advised the Develop~nt Services Depart~aent had recomaended at one time that
a full street be provided in place of the alley that Mrs. Ballard was now re-
questing be closed.
In answer to Councilman Stephenson, the City Engineer advised that
alley in question is 20 feet wide, with garages set back an additional five
feet on either side of the alley.
The Traffic Engineer was instructed to investigate and report back
to the Council possible alternatives to the solution of the problem reported
by Mrs. Ballard.

Councilmen Dutton stated he understood previous Council Policy and
the C, eneral Plan indicated bsatc 1nv density in the Canyon area, bearing in
mind, hoverer, that there vere certain areas that lent themselves to a little
higher density, sc~e even for ~obtle home parks.
The City P~aa~er a/vised that so~e confusion exists as to Just what
the situation is re~ardin~ laml use, and particularly densities in the Canyon
are·, and there have been indications that the City Council and City Planning
Coemission have differing ideas in that regard. He reco~aended a Joint meet-
ins of the City Council and the City Planning Conmtssion be scheduled to dis-
cuss the subject and deter~ina a policy.
Councilman Clark stated'he believed the Council's Policy, as indi-
cated by previous decisions, ns to maintain a basic low density in the Can-
yon area, with su~a ~r densities where appropriate.
Nr. Mardoch advised such vas indicated by the Council[ however,
reco~atio~ sabaitteg by the City Planning Comrlssion indicate their be-
lief is to~rA~ co,plate lo~ density in the area. Mr. Mardoch stated

C, eneral Plen; ........ " He added that the assurance $iven to the Presi-
dent of the Peralta Hills Homeowners Association, prior to annexation,
pertained to the Peralta Hills area only.
ZoninE Supervisor Charles Roberts advised he believed the recom-
mendations by the Development Services Department and City PlanninE
missionweremeent to indicate a general desire for low density in the
Canyon area, recognizing that there would be some areas better suited
to higher density.
The City Attorney reported that granting an extension of time
to the subject Tentative Tract would also require an extension of time
to the Reclassification end Variance.
On motion by Councilmen Dutton, seconded by Councilman Thom,
a one-year extension of timewas granted to Reclassification No. 68-69-

City Hall,. ~n~beim, California - COUNCIL HIHUTES - November 3, 1970, 1:30 P.H.
He also noted that the operator did not plan to obtain a dealer's
license, and he doubted that the Depar~nent of ~otor Vehicles ~ould permit
the selling of cars'without the responsibility of a licensed dealer.
He stated that the law requires every used car sold to have a cer-
tificate from an authorized Inspection Agency, certifYing that the require-
ments of the Smog Control Act have been met. In addition, there must be seat
belts, side-view mirrors, safe brakes, etc.; for all these requirements, some-
one mist be responsible and that is the licensed dealer. If and when sale
of a stolen car is discovered it is the licensed dealer who must refund to
the buyer the purchase price.paid for the car.
Hr. Steffy further reported that the law requires all automobile
sales~aen to be liCensed, and this can only be accomplished through a licensed
dealer.
Regarding the estimated revenue, lit. Steffy felt it was inflated
and highly optimistic. As to the sales tax, he advised in any event the City
of Anaheimwo~ld receive their portion of sales tax on any transaction within
the City.
Regardin~ the maintenance work estimated at $2,500.00 per month,
10% of which would revert to the City, Hr. Steffy stated it was his under-
standing that a garage would be brought onto the property to handle work that
would not be at the option of the owner. This could result in a minimum of
work performed and a loss operation.
Hr. steffy reported on therelative quick-cash sales made and the
possible.delays in obtaining Smc~ Control Certificates, financing, etc. He
seriously doubted that-the Department of Horst Vehicles would provide neces-
sary personnel to handle transfers over a weekend, and under these circum-
stances, felt a provision would be needed whereby the people could come back
to cons,~te the transaction. He further felt this would not be done, that
the seller and buyer requiring financing, etc. would complete the transaction
in his home area, reminding again that Anaheim's portion of this market sales
tax would come to the City in any event.
Hr. Steffy was of the opinion that a more realistic estimate of re-
venue to the City would be approximately one-half of that projected, or five
thousand dollars, of which-there would be the expense of parking lot atten-
dants, maintenance, etc., resulting in practically no income at all to the
City.
Hr. Theodore E. Schafer, 2068 Lida Lane, Anaheim, Chevrolet dealer
in the City of Garden Grove, referred to his letter previously sent to the
City Council, and advised that in checking with the Department of Horst ve-
hicles this would be completely against their Code, as they close at 5:00
P.l~ and are closed on weekends. In addition to the laws reported on by lit.
'Stef~y, Hr. Scha£er'noted that the dealership must be bonded for sales tax
revenue, and also felt the City of Anahetm vould lose on the proposed acti-
vity.
Mr. Harvey Hiers, Executive Secretary-Hanager of the Horst Car Deal-
ers of Or~ee County, advised of le~al contacts made,including those in Sacra-
mento, regarding the proposed Vehicle ~drt, and stated it vas their opinion
that their dealers .oouldnot participate in this operation.
.Hr. Hier8 presented a sauple of an application for occupational li-
cense, required by every dealer, noting that there must be a separate loca-
tion end a separate address. 'He questioned how the Stadium could be ~bd~d
into 1,000 separate addresses to accommodate a swap-meet or meet the ~ehicle
Code requirements for licensing.
Hr.Hters then submitted a sample of another report concerning New
Vehicle Report of Sales Books which have been stolen. He reported that the
various law enforcegent a~encies are concerned as to what would happen should
this operation b'e approved.

Regerdtag.the Proposal, Page 3, Line 6, and Page 7, Item No.7,
Nr. Hiers advised ~hat the Department of Notor Vehicles will not.perti-
cipate, ~urnish boo~hs, personnel or supervision to assist this opera-
tion or any other operation of this nature; that the operation must go
through all regular channels. Regarding estimated.revenue, Pages 7 and
8, in hie opinion and that of their membership, the estimates are entirely
unrealistic and a~ore realistic figure would be approximately 20% of that
projected.
Nr. Hiers stated that, in the opinion of their membership, rep-
resenting 127 dealers, their investments and the businesses they have es-
tablished ~mst be protected.
In conclusion, Nr. Hiers again called attention to the probable
police problems and the detrimental effect to the City of Anaheim, and
thereupon urged the application be denied.
Nr. Carl Selersen, Applicant, advised of the presence of his
Attorney, Nr. William Eilers, for the purpose of answering any questions
raised.
~r. Seiersen reported that since the last meeting on this is-
sue, there have been over 4,000 private citizens advertising the sale of
their automobiles in local papers. He advised that in 1969, in the State
of California, 1,291,388 use tax receipts were issued on used cars, and
1,438,200 dealers' reports of sales were made, wh.ich proves that the
people are able to transfer title of sales themselves, and further proves
that this business exists and is not something that will be discontinued.
He advised that he proposes to assist these people who are already buy-
ing and selling among themselves, and that financing is presently accomp-
lished by private individuals, and not necessarily through an automobile
dealer. He failed to see how 50 to 100 days out of the year, assisting
private automobile owners, could create a problem for a dealer.
~r. Setersen requested a decision on the proposal today and fur-
ther advised that the question is not whether there will be a public ve-
hicle mart, but in which citywill it be located, and who will receive
the parking and rental income. He stated that he has been invited to es-
tablish the business in another substantial-Orange County city, but pre-
ferred Anaheim. However, if he cannot establish the business in Anaheim
he will still be in business because this has already started, as evi-
denced by an ad of "Auto-Hatch" in Arcadia, currently offering, franchises
for a similar idea wherein buyer meets seller through a computer system.
The idea, he stated, is in strong demand.
In conclusion, }ir. Seiersen assured the City Council that all
automobile dealers, whether new or used, were welcome to display their
vehicles wherever they finally locate.
Nr. Eilers, in answer to question raised by Councilman Stephen-
son, advised that any automobile dealer with an established place of busi-
ness and branches at other' locations can sell at the other location, as
provided by the Vehicle Code. In his opinion, a dealer could obtain a
branch license for the Stadium location. -He noted that there is another
provision in the law whtch allows dealers to display, exhibit or show
their cars and advertise and solicit at a fair or mart where buyers and
sellers get together; that they can do everything e=ept cons~ate the
sale.
Nr. Eilers stated that ~r. Seiersenwas not a dealer or seller,
and the proposed business was in no way illegal, as he is simply leasing
property, making it available to buyers and sellers. He is not licensed,
nor does he propose to be.
Council~anTho~ stated it wasnot so much the legality of the
OPeration that concerned him, but the responsibility to the business men
who have,ads a substantial investment in land, buildings and equipment to

alrosd~developed' City proper~y, rentins to someone else, and his concern
was how ~hts mlSht'hurt the lesit-inate, established automobile dealer; his
prime objection beins that ~his concerns government property.
Mr. Etlera, aS _sU~.,n~ one ~Ss opposed to honest.c ~oUpetition, felt
no SToup shoUld_be protected ~ou. said competition, as compe~t-Ciou, in sener-
al, benefits the PUblic.
Councilman. Thom advised he vas not inJecttns competition, and would
have no objections on votin~ on the issue if it did not involve publicly-
owned proper~y.
Councilman Pebley called attention to the requirements and site de-
velopment standards necessary to establish a business in the City of Anaheim.
councilman CLark also felt' that the issue involved was that the pro-
posed location was City propert-yvhich, if approved, would be in competition
with private land owners and taxpayers.
Mr. Eilers responded that the City, per se, would not be involved.
Regardins competition, he called attention to the municipally-owned golf course,
and asked if that was not in cceepetition with privately-owned $olf courses.
Councilman Pebley restated his position, in that to establish a
bus/mess requires a substantial expenditure to meet building codes, zoning
codes, and site development standards, and in this instance, the same acti-
vitywould be allowed without requiring what has been required of all others.
Mr. Eilers-again advised that Mr. Seiersen will not be a dealer,
and further that dealers establishing businesses in Anaheim obtain something
from their investment in the way of a dealership that ~aes with a particular
type of automobile.
Councilman Clark felt there was no comparisOn between a golf course
and an automobile dealer. First, there is no objection to the building of a
municipal, self course, and it is heco~Lng a necessity to build municipally-
owned self courses to preserve open space, as privately-owned courses, as
land becomes scarce, are fast [alltns away to other development and uses.
In this case, to him the need has not been established, as the citizens can
be accommodated in extstin~ dealerships.
Mr. Etlers again referred to the many private citizens endeavoring
co sell or buy, and pointed out that the dealerships do not take care of all
this business and that their proposal offers a place with proper controls
where people can get tosether to buy and sell.
Hr. Ste2~y aEain addressed the'Council, noting that under the pro-
'pOsed pro,rom the City would be provtdin~ a tremendous fsciltty, free of
charge, in that no specified ren~ is e~tablished in the proposal and, in ad-
dition would be lendin~ the CitY's nm to this operation.
Councilman Dutton stated he did not favor government in business
anymore ~hsn no~osssry, howg~ert he noted instances where there have been
certain inconsistencies, such as in the taxicab business, mnbulance services,
and the proposal currently bd4~_n~ considered to lease City property for a ho-
tel complex on which t/Mrs will he a substantial return to the citizens of
Anaheim. He.also noted that the subject proposal provides for no suaranteed
return to the City, end as to the Stadium, he did not believe it was losing
mone~ as it is an investment'in the future.
COuncilman Stepheneon was of the opinion that the Stadium was con-
strutted for entertainment, and not fog competition to private enterprise.
At the co~cluelon of the discussion, Councilman Clark moved chat
the proposal ~o ~ Cb Andmtm Stadium perkins lot as a Public Vehicle
Hart be denied. Councllm~ l~bley seconded the motion. I~TIGH C~P~RT~D.

CON.C~ - COKv-ENTION CEN~R- .NOVEHBER ~,. 1970: Councilman Clark brought be-
for the Council the Rock Concert held at the Convention Center at ~hich
property damage and riot conditions resulted. He stated, in his opinion,
the insurance required of the producers should not only cover damage to
the property but expenses incurred by added police and other personnel
caused by the problem created and generated by the shov coming to the
area.
Councilman Pebley expressed concern for the neishborins.busi-
nesses that were required to close, and felt there was more to the prob-
lem than sufficient insurance to cover repairs to the Convention Center
property.
Councilman Dutton called attention to con~nitments made that
must be honored and advised that of the 39 concerts held, with 312,000
in attendance, 0nly a relatively few social misfits created the Sunday
disturbance. He felt the situation should be thoroughly appraised,.and
not acted upon hastily, as enjoyment of thousands could be spoiled by
this-relatively few.
Councilman Stephenson reported that he and Councilman Pebley
went to the area and further reported on the situation, advising that,
in discussing the problems with a liquor store owner in the area they
were told that every time such a concert is held he is forced to close
his store. As to our past fortunate experience, he noted the Stadium
incident, and stated there is no amount of insurance that could cover
a serious injury or death; that the source of trouble, in this case, was
the Rock Festival.
Councilman Stephenson further reported on the unlikelihood of
obtaining assistance on mutual aid from the other cities, considering
the cost to the cities, the d--~ge to their equipment, and the possibil-
ity of some officer betns seriously injured. He stated City employees
r_~qrked that they would never ~ork another such event, and that he, per-
sonally, ~ould like to see this type of event stopped.
Councilman Thom asked what would stop a SToup attendins a ball-
game doins the same thinS, and accordins to this philosophy, would the
City stop ballsam~s~ ...

City Ra11. ~-~ei~.' Califo.rula- ~ffF~_.rt )OWrl~$- Nov~er 3, 1970, 1:30 P.H.
Councilman Stephenson raported on his conversation Sunday night
with the (1~$e£ of Police of Fresno, ~here this type of entertair~ent had been
reputedly tried, only to be finally banned.
Hr. To~ Lie$1er, Stadiu~ and Convention Center Director, addressed
the Ceuncil, expressin~ his concerns, the ~ain one bein~ the total .disrespect
of the few to. the police officers and City employees who vere trying to help
~r. Li~ler advised of the problems in determinin~ those events ac-
ceptable and stated that, in this screening process, many more are rejected
than are accepted, and only .those vtth national reputation, as a security are
selected, as they are trying to brin~ to the cv,.--dnity what the community de-
sires, in 'a ~annor that befits the City.
As to a recmmendation, Hr. Liegler felt he should give more time
and thought to the situation in order to render a fair decision.as this issue
requires serious evaluation.
Nr. Lie$1er reported that a firm co=mitment has been made for Novem-
ber 8th, When Charlie Frtde (country music) is scheduled to appear, and this
is a different type of music. Re feared bannin$ "Concerts" in a general fash-
ion, as the question is, What is hard core rock and roll?
Councilman Stephenson stated that he vas referring to the rock and
roll events that attract the hard-core element.
Council~anThom advised he would be villins to vote on the issue
at this ti~e if a definition of What' type of event likely to cause a problem
could be ~ade. Apparently it is not the attraction, but the attendance at
the attraction that creates the problems.
Hr. Hardoch reported that the situation must be properly appraised
on the basis-as to whether it vas the result of the concert itself, or whether
it was an attraction of the concert of some people who did not have tickets
to attend the shov. He noted there was no problem in entering or exiting the
~vent. ~r. Mnrdoch stated he has been recetvtn~ many reports, but has not had
e~fficient time to revtev tttma. He also was concerned about the business com-
munity as ~his was the first indication there has ever been any problem in
this area.
Concernin~ the event scheduled Nov_~mher 8th, Charlie Pride,
llcLala, of 13FiZ Radio, told of maetin$ him and the promoters at a press con-
fere~ce, and advised that he vas a former California Angel baseball player
Who forged a musical group, Probably rated No. 1, as a Western performer and
that his music 'was not rock and roll.

City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES- November 3, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
have been an announcement that there had been a disturbance and the pol-
ice were outside as this came as quite a surprise to her daughter.
Councilmen Stephenson and Pebley both confirmed the fact that
the announcement was made both in and outside of the buildin~, and the
youn~ people were instructed to go directly to their cars and leave the
premises.
Councilman Stephenson advised that mutual aid could not be ex-
pected to an event where charges are made by the City for a profit, which
results in a riot ~ituation.
Mr. Liegler again reported that for every concert booked there
are approximately 20 disapproved; that they first consider the reputation
of the producer, who has some control of the talent; next, the talent must
be nationally reputable. This information is interchanged, and when a
concert runs into difficulties, such as non-payment of bills, or causes
a disturbance, that information bein~ interchar~ed would eliminate them
being booked at this facility.
Mr. Gordon Fisher, Manager of the Waikiki Hotel, reported that
he was presently makin~ a survey as to the effect these events have on
local businesses. He stated that news of such disturbances are trans-
mitted immediately all over the world, and at 1:30 A.H. he received can-
cellation of reservations from London,England, for a tour group coming
to Disneyland in the latter part of November. They had just heard about
the disturbance, and as a result, planned to stay in Los Angeles.
Mr. Fisher further advised that his glass insurance had been
cancelled, and upon further inquiry by the Council admitted cancellation
occurred prior to, and not as a result of subject disturbance.
At the conclusion of the discussion, it was agreed that a thor-
ouch analysis be made prior to further COuncil action.
'ADJ~NT: Councilman Pebley moved to adjourn. Councilman Thom seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
