Chapter 18.63 - Billboards, Section 18.63.030(b) (2), extending the scenic
highway designation of Katella Avenue from the centerline of Douglas Street
easterly to the centerline of the Santa Ana River, thereby prohibiting bill-
boards in this area. ~
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-
192, recommended said Amendment.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council, either
for or against said Amendment, there being no response, declared the hear-
ing closed.
ORDINANCE NO. 2878: Councilman Pebley offered Ordinance No. 2878 for first
reading.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 18,CHAPTER 18.63,
SECTION 18.63.030 OF THE ANAHEIM MDNICIPAL CODE.
70-665
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 1, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE:
Chapter 18.68, Section 18.68.010 "Planning Commission Authorized to Grant
Variances," and Section 18.68.030 "Required Showings."
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-193,
Exhibit "N', recommended rewording Section 18.68.010, "Planning Commission
Authorized to Grant Variances - Criteria" to read as follows:
"The Planning Commission shall have authority, as an administra-
tive act, subject to the provisions of this Chapter, to grant Variances.
"Variances from the terms of the zoning ordinance shall be granted
only, when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, in-
cluding size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict appli-
cation of the zoning code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by
other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification.
"Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will
assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant
of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties
in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated."
The City Planning Commission further recommended Section 18.68.030,
"Required Showings," be amended by rewording said Section, and reducing Re-
quired Showings to conform to revision of the State Law, Government Code Sec-
tion 65906, as follows:
"Before any variance may be granted by the Planning Commission it
shall be shown:
"(1) That there are special circumstances applicable to the pro-
perty, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, which
do not apply to other property under identical zoning classification in the
vicinity.
"(2) That, because of special circumstances shown in (1) above,
strict application of the zoning code deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other property under identical zoning classification in the vi-
cinity.''
Mr. Alan Watts, Assistant City Attorney, reported that in checking
the first Section recommended for amendment, their office found no substan-
tial difference than the existing Code Section, as the general intent is the
same, and in order to save on publication and reprinting of the Code, recom-
mended no amendment to the existing Section 18.68.010.
Mr. Watts further reported that the criteria is recommended to be
modified, pursuant to a recent enactment to the State Planning Act, to pro-
vide fewer conditions to be met, in order to meet requirements for a variance.
Mr. Ronald Thompson advised that the Amendment is proposed to en-
able more flexibility on the part of the City Council and City Planning Com -
mission in granting variances, and even though the City of Anaheim is a Char-
ter City it was felt by the Attorney's office that the wording should be
changed to comply with the wording of the State Law for a more equitable
method in granting variances.
Reference was made to an erroneous article appearing in the Anaheim
Bulletin, wherein it alluded to the delegation of authority by the City Coun-
cil to the City Planning Commission, and Mr. Murdoch explained that nothing
along this line is recommended to be changed; that the City Planning Commis-
sion, as an administrative act, is presently authorized to grant or deny
variances, subject to the rights of appeal by any interested party, or the
right of the City Council to review the action taken by the City Planning
Commission within 22 days.
70-666
CityHa~t, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 1, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Watts reported that the specific change involves the Show-
ings that must be made by an applicant for the variance before the City
Planning Commission or City Council can act; the Amendment reduces the
required Showings in favor of the applicant.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone else wished to address the Council;
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
ORDINANCE NO. 2879: Councilman Pebley offered Ordinance No. 2879 for first
reading, amending Section 18.68.030 only.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING TITLE 18, CHAPTER 18.68,

REPORT - SIGNAL-CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM: City Engineer report relative to removal
of School Crossing Guards, as traffic signals are installed at guarded cross-
ings or locations, was submitted as result of request before the City Council
July 28 and August 4, 1970, for crossing guards and/or safety devices in the
vicinity of John Marshall School. Said report was deferred to this time to
allow for factual survey of traffic after con~nencement of the regular school
year.
The detailed report noted locations where school crossing guards
were removed when traffic signals were installed, and also listed existing
guard locations; the schools they serve; traffic volume and the number of chil-
dren crossing. Also reported was an indication from the Anaheim School Dist-
rict that summer session will be possibly reduced to 4 schools this coming
year.
The City Engineer recommended the present program be continued, and
that signals be installed only as said locations meet required warrants.
No further action was taken by the City Council at this time, to al-
low additional time for the City Manager to review Council Minutes referred to
to determine if the recommended action resolved the 'situation.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1065 - EXTENSION OF TIME AND MODIFICATION OF CONDITIONS:

and State College Boulevard, was submitted together with Development Services
Zoning Division recommendation that 6-month extension, to expire June 3, 1971,
be granted, and listed suggested revisions to Resolution No. 68R-745.
Mr. Thompson advised that a telephone call was received, just prior
to Council meeting, from Mr. Kambak, who requested the extension of time be
considered and that the suggested revisions be deferred for a meeting with
the Staff.
On motion by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Stephenson,
six-month extension of time to expire June 3, 1971, was granted as recom-
mended. MOTION CARRIED.

.City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December .!,..1970, .!:.30 P.M.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTNO. 121: To consider increasing the density from low
to medium density for the area bounded by Rosewood Avenue on the north,
State College Boulevard on the east, Romneya Drive on the south, and the
easterly terminus of Briarvale and Arbutus Avenues on the west, was sub-
mitted.
On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Clark,
Public Hearing on proposed General Plan Amendment No. 121 was scheduled
December 15, 1970, 1:30 P.M. ~TION CARRIED.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 122: Public hearing was held November 17, 1970,
to consider increasing residential density in the area bounded by Imper-
ial Highway, Esperanza Road, Eucalyptus Drive, and Santa Aha Canyon Road,
at which time said public hearing was continued to February 16, 1971,
for receipt of the Army Corps of Engineers letter relative to study be-
ing reevaluated on potential flood hazards in the Canyon area.
CommuniCation received this date from James A. Liberio, request-
ing an earlier hearing date, based on hardships created to property ow-
ners who are ready to submit plans for development.
~ROPOSEDANNE.X~.~IO.~ - ESPERANZA-CARRILLO: Mr. James A. Liberio also re-
quested that the Esperanza-Carrillo Annexation proceed, and that consi-
deration be given to the present County R-S-5,000 Zoning.
Discussion was held, and Mr. Roberts advised that Col. Black
had indicated that the status of the report is such that it is expected
to be completed in January, 1971.
Mr. Murdoch noted that the request was not only to proceed
with the annexation of the territory, but also that they be allowed to
develop under the County Zoning. He questioned proceedings with the an-
nexation under these circumstances where the proponents obtained County
Zoning based on the recommendations of the City, and as a result reques-
ted the annexation based on the fact that at that time the attitude of
the City Council appeared to be in favor of the intended use. The prob-
lem now is if the annexation does not proceed, it is very possible de-
velopmant can take place in any event, however, development wouldrequire
City facilities.
Mr. Murdoch further advised that the City Council must either
wait for the Army Corps of Engineers report or act on the request to pro-
ceed with the annexation; the City Council cannot do both, as they are
contrary.
Councilman Pebley moved that the annexation proceed. Council-
man Clark seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Murdoch reported that this type of action has a very defi-
nite impact on what will happen to the area. If the annexation proceed-
ings are authorized to proceed with zoning approved by the County, as
they were by the foregoing motion, and if the action was based upon your
feeling that the zoning approved by the County was appropriate for that
area, then his concern would be less. Unless the Council does feel this
is the appropriate zoning for the area, regardless of the outcome of the
Army Corps of Engineers letter relative to flood hazards, then a serious
precedent is established as anyone desiring zoning contrary to what the
City feels proper could obtain their desired zoning from the County and
then initiate annexation proceedings.
In this case, the property owners have obtained County zoning
on the recommendation of the City, however, subsequent to this reco~nen-
dation, the City Planning Commission and City Council have reversed their
position when zoning actions were stopped awaiting the Engineers' report.
The motion lust made in effect indicates the City is not concerned in
this area as to what the Engineers' report recommends.
Councilman Clark stated, in his opinion this situation dif-
fered, as in some areas where zoning was established the Council allowed
the development to proceed, and action was stopped in those areas where
70-669
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 1, 1970, 1:30 P.M.
no action has been taken on zoning. In subject case the City Council has
committed themselves on zoning.
Mr. Murdoch noted that the position taken by Councilman Clark would
apply to approximately 180 acres out of the requested 285 acres.
Councilman Clark advised that the action should only apply to where-
ever the Council has previously committed themselves on zoning; that the bal-
ance of the area should be held in abeyance.
RECESS: Councilman Pebley moved for a 10-minute Recess, to allow further investi-
gation as to pending annexations. Councilman Clark secouded the motion. MOTION
CARRIED. (2:45 P.M.).
AFTER RECESS: Mayor Dutton called the meeting to order, all members of the City
Council being present. (3:10 P.M.).
Mr. Murdoch noted locations of the pending annexations, and again
explained the previous actions of the City Council regarding zoning of all of
the properties within the three annexation areas. The City Planning Con. his-
sion reco~nended to the City Council that the appropriate zoning appeared to
be R-S-5,000, if the property was not acquired and utilized by the County for
a Regional Park. The City Council letter stated approval of the recommenda-
tions of the City Planning Commission, and urged favorable action on the part
of the County Planning Commission. Based on these recommendations, the County
Planning Co~nission and the Board of Supervisors zoned the property accordingly.
In the meantime, the density study was completed by the City Planning Commis-
sion, and based on this study, it was recommended that the area would be more
appropriately zoned R-1. This was reported to the County Board of Supervisors;
however, it was pointed out that the City Council had not taken subsequent ac-
tion as result of the density study.
Councilman Pebley advised that his motion still stood, to which
Councilman Stephenson moved to rescind the former motion.
Mr. Murdoch stated that the effect of the motion made by Council-
man Stephenson would permit the City Council not to take an affirmative posi-
tion on zoning until receipt of the Army Corps of Engineers' report.
The Mayor declared the motion made by Councilman Stephenson lost
for lack of a second.
In finality, it was determined that no action be taken on the re-
quest to hear General Plan Amendment No. 122, prior to February 16, 1971, and
Annexations designated as Esperanza-Roth and Esperanza-Carrtllo were author-
ized to proceed.

CO~fI~ED pUBLIC HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION NO. 70-71-13 AND CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. 1202: Submitted by Bernardo M. Yorba, et al, requesting a change in
zone from R-A to R-2 on Portion A, and from R-A to R-1 on Portion B, to es-
tablish a planned residential development on Portions A and B; located south?
westerly of the intersection of Santa Ana Canyon Road and Imperial Highway,
extending in an east-west direction from the future alignmentof Imperial
Highway to Royal Oak Road,and in a north-south direction from Santa Ana Canyon
Road, north of the future alignment of Nohl Ranch Road, with waiver of:
a. Maximum building height within 150 feet of R-A zoned property
on Portion A only.
TENTATIVE.MAP.OF TRACT NO. 7288: Developer - Calprop Corporation; located
on the west side of Imperial Highway (proposed), south of Santa Ana Canyon
Road and contains 103 proposed R-2 lots as condominiums. (70-71-13 and Con-
ditional Use Permit No. 1202).
The City Planning Co~ission,-pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-186,
reco~nded said reclassification be disapproved; pursuant to Resolution No.
PC70-187, denied said conditional use permit; and by motion, at their October
19, 1970 meeting denied Tentative Map of Tract No. 7288.
Public hearing was held November 17, 1970, and continued to this
date, at the request of Harry Knisely, Agent for the Petitioners, and an
evenin~ meeting was scheduled at the request of various Canyon area home-
owners associations.
70-674.
City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES- December 1, 1970, 7:30 P.M.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject
property, consisting of 58 acres in easterly Portion A, for which the de-
veloperhas requested a conditional use permit to construct multiple-
family-type units, and 51 acres in westerly Portion B, which the develo-
per has indicated for single-family units. He advised that the condi-
tional use permit is for a planned residential development over the en-
tire approximate 110 acres. The requested waiver is for Portion A only,
which lies on the easterly side of the future alignment of Imperial High-
way; however, since the developer has submitted revised plans, it is pos-
sible no waiver will be necessary.
Mr. Roberts further advised that the Tentative Map proposes
to divide the first phase of the multiple-family area into 97 condomin-
ium parcels, this section being located immediately west of Imperial
Highway, and south of a proposed shopping center to be .developed at the
intersection of Imperial Highway and Santa Ana Canyon Road.
Mr. Roberts stated that the density proposed for the single-
family unit development, Portion B, is 3.5 per gross acre, and that Por-
tion A, to be developed as multiple-family units, indicates an overall
density of 7 units per gross acre. He added that the plans show 55%
of the total planned site would be developed, with the remainder desig-
nated as recreational and open space, the developers indicating that
two-fifths of the site would be left in its natural state.
Mr. Roberts reported that the Applicants have estimated the
development would take three to four years to complete and that the
Tentative Map indicates construction would begin with a portion of the
multiple-family units, go on to other parts of multiple-family-type
construction, and end with single-family units.
He reminded the Council that the General Plan adopted for the
Hill and Canyon area in 1965, and the Anaheim General Plan adopted in
1969, designate the Hill and Canyon area to be maintained as basically
low-density, although recognizing that very possibly some areas such as
those around shopping centers or major recreational areas'might properly
be developed for greater density than single-family. Subject plans in-
dicate the entire area be developed as a planned c~,m~nity, which would
indicate single and multiple-family development, as well as the required
commercial and recreational facilities necessary to serve the citizens
of that area.
Mr. Roberts stated that, current land use projections of the
General Plan indicate the Hill and Canyon area density should be re-
tained at 2.7 dwelling units per gross acre, based on slope analysis
of the area, type of environment desired, and existing development.
He added that this density figure took into consideration other than
single-family units in the area.
Taking the density figure of 2.7 units per acre as the base,
the area under consideration at this time should have about 300 dwell-
ing units on it, rather than the proposed 580.
Mr. Roberts went on to explain that, since the Applicants
have stated their intention of constructing a shopping center on the
C-1 and C-O property at the intersection of Imperial Highway and
Santa Aha Canyon Road, portions of this property probably would be
appropriate for higher-density uses. He advised that the City Plan-
ning Con~nission had suggested that, since a planned cou~nunity was be-
ing proposed, with a shopping center adjacent thereto, the density
probably could be increased up to 33-1/3%, which would be approxi-
mately 400 dwelling units.
In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Roberts stated that the
Lusk Development on the west end of Nohl Ranch, and also that directly
west of subject property on Nohl Ranch Road have a density of 2.6 or
2.7, and those developments were on a cut-and-fill basis, with no natu-
ral terrain left.
70= 675
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 1, 19.70, 7:30 P.M.
In reply to Councilman Dutton, M~. Roberts stated that the total
subject proposal would have a density of 5.2 or 5.3 and that the single-family
area alone, as proposed, would have a density of 3.5.
Councilman Dutton voiced disagreement with the comments he had heard
that granting a higher density in this one instance automatically would raise
the density factor of the entire Hill and Canyon area.
Councilman Clark stated that, where there are two arterial highways
and a commercial shopping center as in Portion A, he believed higher densities
should be allowed; however, he felt that such a density over 110 acres, as
proposed, is too high.
Councilman Stephenson stated a density of 7 units per acre for the
58 acres in Portion A was too large an area for such a high density, and even
the 51 acres of the single-family development, at a 3.5 density in Portion B,
is higher than the General Plan indicates and would be setting a precedent.
Mayor Dutton asked if the Applicants or their Agent were present
and wished to address the Council.
Bernardo M. Yorba, Applicant, expressed regret that it is necessary
to now develop their property and stated that after seven years of studying
possible uses for their land, subject proposal is a sincere effort to preserve
some of the atmosphere and part of the natural state of the area. Mr. Yorba
advised that at the time their application for permission to construct the
proposed shopping center was approved (Resolution No. 65R-29, Exhibit No. 2)
projected land usages and densities were almost identical to subject proposal.
He summed up his presentation by stating that his family would lose much if
subject proposal was not a proper project since they would have residual in-
terest in the shopping center and other contiguous properties, and requested
the Council approve the petition.
James Meyer, Vice-President of Calprop Corporation, Developer, sta-
ted that in developing their plans for this area they had begun with the land
and worked backward in an effort to preserve the character of the area. He
expressed the opinion that the projected density of 5.24 units per acre is not
a high density proposal. Mr. Meyer stated that their plan is for a total home
ownership co,unity and now calls for 575 dwelling units and that each unit,
multiple or single-family, would be individually owned. He added that several
modifications have been made in their plans, subsequent to discussions with
the Planning Staff and representatives of the cohaaunity, such as making single-
family lots a minimum of 10,000-square feet along the west border, adjacent
to the Nohl Ranch homes; on the east side of the area, the townhouse area,
Imperial Highway now will be a primary street with three lanes in each direc-
tion, rather than the secondary street originally proposed, and there would
be a 12-foot landscaped median strip all along Imperial Highway; the row of
houses along Imperial Highway will be single-story units to preserve the view
of the Canyon area when driving down the highway; earth berms are proposed on
the 20-foot-wide landscaped stri~ alongside Imperial Highway, probably three
or four feet high; sidewalks, although not required, will be installed, wind-
ing in and out of the berm areas to provide a view for those walking and also
safety for children. He also stated that perpetual maintenance of the green
areas would be set up and controlled by a homeowners association.in which total
membership by all 575 units would be required.
In reply to Councilman Clark, the City Attorney advised that dec-
1stations of restrictions are enforceable by the m~,hers of a homeowners as-
sociation, either through equitable relief, injunctions or liens. He added
that in this instance, since the single-family unit residents also are to be
members of the homeowners association, they probably would be sufficiently
interested in their area to see that the maintenance is enforced.
In reply to Councilman Dutton, Fir. Meyer stated he had Stipulated
to a minimUm of 1,500-square feet for each single-family residence, and'added
that these homes are designed for upper, middle-income families (in excess of
$15,.000.00 per year) at prices ranging from $35,000.00 to over $40,000.00
and that the entire development would have tile roofs. Mr. Meyer estimated
70-676
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 1, 1970, 7:30 P.M.
that about 50% of the townhouse area would be owned by adults whose chil-
dren are grown, 25% by single, middle-aged people, and 25% by young mar-
ried couples who desire temporary housing; thus, there probably would be
a limited n,,~ber of children in the area and the recreational facilities
would be primarily adult-oriented. He added that these towahouses would
be 915 to 990-square feet, with two bedrooms, and are expected to sell
in the $20,000.00 to $25,000.00 range. Mr. Meyer gave a slide presenta-
tion of the proposed project.
In reply to Councilman Stephenson, Mr. Meyer advised the town-
houses would be insulated between units as well as possible and that per-
petual maintenance could be guaranteed at least for the 30 years that
F.H.A. is involved in insuring the loan under their 203B program with
the homeowners association.
Harry Knisely, 1741 South Euclid Street, Attorney for the Ap-
plicants, referred to Resolution No. 70R-283, reaffirming the principles
established for the Peralta Hills and Santa Aha Canyon areas in the Gen-
eral Plan, and stated that, in his opinion, the plans the Developers have
presented comply with all of the requirements stated therein.
He quoted the 1965 General Plan that states that land alongside
Santa Ana Canyon Road is relatively flat and a density of 5.8 dwelling
units per net acre could be appropriate. He contended the accompanying
photo was of the property under consideration at this time. He proceeded
to quote sections of the General Plan in an effort to prove that the sub-
ject proposal equals,or is less than,the recommended densities in all sec-
tions.
Mr. Knisely summed up by arguing that, in his opinion, it is
not feasible that each acre from the intersection of"the two freeways
all the way to Corona should or will develop at the same density, since
there will be areas where there will not be a home in 40 or 50 acres,
and there also have to be some high densities. He further stated that
with the present zoning around the shopping center there could be as many
as 360 apartment units in 10 acres.
Mr. Roberts explained that the densities quoted in the Hill and
Canyon General Plan are on a net residential basis, whereas those refer-
red ~by Mr. Meyer are on the gross area basis. Thus 5.8 dwelling units
per acre for flat portions actually figures out to 4.4 on a gross basis,
and the density desirable for subject property is 3.25 net, which would
figure out at 2.4 per gross acre.
Mayor Dutton asked if anyone wished to address the Council in
opposition.
Robert Brambley, 331 North Starfire Street, commenting on the
limited n,,mher of schools serving Canyon residents and the fact that
these already are operating at capacity, asked that the Developers and
City Council discuss this'matter with the Orange School District, since
it was his opinion subject proposal would overcrowd the schools.
Councilman Pebley expressed the opinion that since the Devel-
oper indicated townhouse complexes were to be built first, there probably
would not be many children from that new development.
Mr. Brambley conceded development of the Canyon is inevitable;
however, since there is no school construction in process at this time,
he asked that some coordination be made with the School District.
Councilman I)utton reminded Mr. Brmmhley that the School Board
is a separate entity from the City Government; however, since everything
the City Council does is public record, the School Board should be ap-
prised of what actions are taken.
70- 677
City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Decmmber 1, 1970, 7:30 P..M.
Hershel Clauder, 321 North Redrock, stated the land indicated on
the map has been left in its natural state to retain the beauty of the area,
and actually is undevelopable because of the steep canyons and hills. He
expressed fear that the Developers may build only townhouses, since that is
where they indicated they would start,and then pull out and some other de-
veloper would be allowed to construct homes of lower standards, such as the
ones in his area where the Federal Government is subsidizing the last few
homes in the tract. He asked why the Developers were starting their construc-
tion with the high-density portion, rather than the single-family units.
Mr. Meyer answered that, at this time the high-priced single-family
homes are not selling, and thus it would be economically unfeasible to start
them.
Mr. Clauder asked what assurance the Developer could give that the
entire project would be completed if the economic situation did not change?
Mr. Meyer reminded Mr. Clauder that his firm would be paying heavy
taxes on the land in an undeveloped state; however, their reputation as a
reliable developer was the only real assurance he could give at this time
that their project would be completed as presented.
Mr. Clauder asked that the petition be denied if development of the
total project within a specified period cannot be guaranteed.
Phil Joujon-Roche, 21527 Mohler Place, representing the Santa Aha
Canyon Property Owners Association, Santa Ana Canyon Improvement Association,
Nohl Ranch Homeowners Association, and Peralta Hills Homeowners Association,
stated that, although the Applicants and Developers have made some changes in
their basic plan in the last two months the organizations he represents did
not feel they were significant changes since the density had been reduced only
2%. He reco~mmended 85% of the total acreage, or 93 acres, be devoted to single-
family dwellings, and 15% to the townhouses with 7 units per acre.
With reference to the possibility of the area around the shopping
center being, available for a density of 36 units per acre, Mr. Joujon, Roche
also quoted Resolution No. 70R-283, and stated he believed the beauty of the
Canyon area deserves special treatment in the way of lower densities, as this
area is not a standard or normal area.
Mr. Joujon-Roche expressed satisfaction with the way the develop-
ment is planned,w~th the exception of density, and preferred that the single-
family and townhouse units be constructed simultaneously.
Councilman Dutton expressed the belief that too much emphasis is
being placed on density. In his opinion, the lower density around the proposed
shopping center by spreading the townhouses over a larger area, was better plan-
ning than apartment buildings with a density of 36 units per acre, and this
would not necessarily mean that this would result in higher densities through-
omt the whole Canyon area.
Bob McQueen, 4831 McKinnon Drive, representing the Santa Aha Canyon
Improvement Association, .stated that consultations with real estate and finance
agents revealed that condominiums are a poor risk, especially when located in
suburban or natural fire-hazard areas. He quoted Government Code 65906 - "Any
variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the
adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privi-
leges inconcistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity
and zone in which such property is situated," - and asked if that meant the
entire Canyon could develop condominiums?
Councilman Dutton advised there was no variance requested with the
application.
Mr. McQueen urged that if the application is approved, the Council
require that Portion A and Portion B be developed simultaneously.
70-678
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 1, 1970, 7:30 P.M.
Councilman Dutton stated that if the Developers were required
to construct the entire project at the same time the City would have to
require the Grant Corporation's proposed development of 3,000 acres be
developed simultaneously.
Mr. McQueen asked the following questions:
1. Would an owner of a townhouse unit be permitted to lease
the unit?
2. If an original owner vacates the property will the unit be
sold or may it.be leased?
3. May a purchaser acquire mere than one unit?
4. If a young couple has children would they be required to
sell?
In reply to Mr. Murdoch, Mr. McQueen advised the Santa Ana Can-
yon Improvement Association encompasses approximately 731 homes in the
area, bounded on the west by the junction of Newport and Riverside Free-
ways, on the east by Imperial Highway, on the south by Santa Aha Canyon
Road, and on the north by the Santa Aha River.
Hank Fallek, 140 Orange Hill Lane, representing the Nohl Ranch
Homeowners Association, stated his group agreed with the concept presen-
ted by the Applicants and Developers. However, he sta~ed his home abuts
the proposed single-family unit development and he did not feel it was
"harmonious" with his area as called for in the General Plan, since Nohl
Ranch has 2.7 dwelling units per gross acre, whereas the proposed project
would have 3.4 units per gross acre; also, he did not approve of the new
homes being situated so the owners could look down into his backyard. He
also referred to the fact that area schools are designed for a density
of 2.7 dwelling units per gross acre, and 3.9 persons per dwelling, and
the schools already are overburdened because of the Federally-subsidized
homes that require a minimum of three children.
In reply, Councilman Dutton stated that since Mr. Fallek has
advised that the proposed development would be 15 feet higher than his
home, these homes would not be visible from his property unless they were
built out on a bluff.
In regard to Mr. Fallek's statement about harmenious projects,
Councilman Clark advised that the proposed project would have 10,000-square
foot lots, whereas Mr. Fallek's lot was 9,700-square feet.
Herbert Christensen, 116 Ttana Lane, objected to using the shop-
ping center, which would occupy 10% as much land as the total area invol-
ved, as a wedge to develop over half of the 110 acres in higher density.
A1 Hyatt, 251 Orange Acres Drive, President of the Peralta Hills
Homeowners Association, stated they believed the submitted plans are com-
mendable and agreed the area surrounding the shopping center should be
higher density; however, he objected to the large area that was proposed
to be high density, and also felt the single-family dwelling area, except
for the section abutting Nohl Ranch area, had too high density.
Mayor Dutton invited the Applicants to again address the Council.
Mr..Knisely, referring to Mr. Joujon-Roche's apprehension that
the development would not be completed after the townhouses were construc-
ted, offered as assurance the fact that the President of Calprop Corpora-
tion would r~in in the development in a Management capacity. He reit-
erated the belief that the proposed development conforms to the General
Plan.
Mr. Meyer stated that, in his opinion, the proposed number of
single-family dwellings is in accord with those allowed under present
zoning, and that the multiple-family units are a lower density than al-
lowed.
Councilman Stephenson asked about the possibility of reducing
the multiple-family unit area to about one-third of the total acreage,
rather than mere than half of it.
70-679
City Hal!, Anaheim, Cali[ornia - COUHCIL MINUTES - Dec-mher 1, 1970, 7:30 P.M.
Mr. Meyer replied that the number of townhouses was planned for eco-
nomic reasons and it' was felt spreading them out over a larger area would make
a better appearance, in keeping with the Mill and Canyon area.
In reply to Mr. McQueen's query as to whether an owner would, be al-
lowed to lease out his townhouse, Mr. Meyer stated they would have no control
over such a situation since the townhouses would be individually owned.
Mrs. Dorothy Davis, 4332 East Elkstone, remarked that, in her opin-
ion, a $40,000.00 home on a 10,000-square foot lot would mean a large yard for
such a dwelling.
Mr. Meyer replied that most of the homes would be over $40,000.00,
but that a 1,500-square foot house at $35,000.00 had been suggested as the
minimum.
In reply to Mrs. Davis' question as to how many children are expected
in the single-family units, Mr. Meyer advised their projections were based on
the City of Anaheim average of 3.9 persons per dwelling.
It was determined that sufficient evidence had been presented, and
Mayor Dutton declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Clark expressed the opinion that too large an area was
proposed for the higher-density multiple-family units, and stated he would
prefer to have only 10 acres used for this purpose, rather than 58 acres.,
Councilman Dutton stated that, inasmuch as present zoning would al-
low as many multiple-family units tnnediately adjacent to the proposed shop-
ping center as are proposed to be spread out over the large area, he preferred
to have these'units spread out.
Councilman Stephenson advised he would prefer to have the townhouse
area reduced to about 30 acres.
Councilman Dutton asked if the Petittoners, would be willing to deed
the middle Canyon area to the City of Anaheim to get it off the tax rolls and
still maintain it in perpetuity?
Mr. Meyer replied it would be unfair to expect residents to maintain
it if it were deeded to the City; however, they would be willing to dedicate
the Canyon area to the City for a parksite, in lieu of some of the park fees.
Councilman Pebley asked if the Petitioners would be willing to revise
the plans on the south half of Portion A to reduce the area devoted to town-
houses.
Mr. Meyer stated they would prefer to reduce the Canyon area to single-
family units, rather than the soUth half of Portion A, since they were endea-
voring to separate as much as possible the single-family units from the multiple-
family units.
In reply to Councilman Dutton, Mr. Meyer advised 70 units had been
p~oposed for the Canyon atea that runs up the middle of the property.
