A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM FINDING AND DETER- MINII~ THAT TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM ~3NICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ZONING SHOULD BE AMENDED AND THAT THE BOUNDARIES OF CERTAIN ZONES SHOULD BE CHANGED.

Councilman Pebley entered the meeting, 1:35 P.M. PUBLIC HEAgING - VARIANCE NO. 2220: Submitted by Sam Domino, requesting permis- sion to expand an existing non-conforming sign from 496 square feet to 639 square feet on C-1 zoned property located on the west side of Harbor Bou- levard, north of Katella Avenue, and further described as the Galaxie Motel, 1735 South Harbor Boulevard, with waiver of: a. Maximum permitted sign area. (228-square feet permitted; 639-square feet proposed.) The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC70-208, denied said variance application. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by 3ack Stovall, Owner, and public hearing scheduled this date.' Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted the location of subject property and the existing uses and zoning in the i~nediate area, explain- ing that present Code provisions would only allow a 228-square foot per-face sign on subject property; that there is presently an existing non-conforming sign of 496-square feet, which, by this application the Petitioner is re- questing to expand an additional 143-square feet by adding the "Best Wes- tern Motels" identification logo. He briefed the evidence submitted to the City Planning Commission, advising that reference was made to Variance No. 2180, requesting additional signing at 1570 South Harbor Boulevard, which was denied by both the City Planning Commission and the City Council on the basis that to allow such increased signing would encourage requests for fur- ther Code deviations in the Commercial-Recreational Area. Mr. Roberts further reported that the Planning Commission, by Mo- tion, submitted a special recommendation in connection with subject appli- cation, that in the event the Petitioner submitted revised sign plans for the Galaxie Motel to include the addition of a logo advertising "Best Wes- tern Motels" within the existing sign height and size by changing one of the panels, that such revision be approved as an alternative to granting Variance No. 2220. The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council. Mr. Jack Stovall, 1735 South Harbor Boulevard, advised that they have invested-ii50,000.00 to upgrade the Galaxie Motel to meet the "Best Western" standards so they could be affiliated with the national chain, in an effort to increase their volume of business. Mr. Bill O'Connell, 2626 Dutch Street, Anaheim, General Manager, advised that subject location was selected because the sign can be viewed by the travelers traversing north and south on Harbor Boulevard. In answer to Council questions, Mr. O'Connell advised that to in- clude the addition of "Best Western" within the existing sign height and' size, would be more costly,, as the_~xisting sign wauld haveto~be refaced and, in their opinion, would not be!-desirabte as other existing signs and walls would obstruct, the_travelers! view. That to combine.the~'6alaxie and 70-714 City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 22, 1970, 1:30 P.M. Cosmic M~tels under one name would also be undesirable as this would, in ef- 'fect, reduce the quality of the Cosmic Motel because of the two different rate structures. Plans and files were reviewed by the Council and discussion was held regarding the possibility of incorporating the "Best Western" identification in the reader panel of the existing sign in the area where the message "All Credit Cards Accepted" is displayed. In answer to Council's questions, the City Attorney advised that any tYPe of structural change would require a variance, and Mr. Roberts reported that the basis of the special recommendation of the Planning Commission re- lated to a copy change only which could be accomplished administratively, ra- ther than a structural change. At the conclusion of discussion, Councilman Pebley moved that the public hearing be continued to 3anuary 5, 1971, 1:30 P.M., to allow the Ap- plicant an opportunity to submit plans incorporating the "Best Western" logo in the existing sign, for an interpretation by the Council as to whether said addition constitutes a copy change or a structural change. Councilman Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1145 - EXTENSION OF TIME: Request of LeRoy Rose and Associates, dated December 2, 1970, for six-month extension of time to Condi- tional Use Permit No. 1145, to permit the establishment of a 7-story, 242-bed general hospital on R-A zoned property located on the west side of Lakevtew Avenue, north of Riverdale Drive, was submitted together with reports of the City Engineer and D~velopment Services Department. Mr. Robert G. McQueen, President, Santa Aha Canyon Improvement Asso- ciation, was granted permission to address the Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed general hospital, expressing the concern of the residents in the area to the increased traffic and the additional hazards that accompany the presence of emergency vehicles in a residential area. On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Clark, a 6- month extension of time to Conditional Use Permit No. 1145 was granted, as recommended, to expire June 30, 1971. MOTION CARRIED. VARIANCE NO. 2100 - REVISED PLANS: Submitted by Daryoush Mahboobi-Fardi, requesting approval of revised plans providing for a ll5-unit, 1 and 3-story apartment com- plex on R-A zoned property located on the west side of Pearl Street, north of Wilshire Avenue (Resolution of Intent to R-3, Reclassification No. 69-70-1.) The City Planning Commission held a rehearing on subject request and pursuant to their Resolution No. PC70-210, recommended approval of said revised plans, subject to conditions. The City Clerk submitted and read petition of opposition filed Decem- ber 18, 1970, containing 81 signatures of homeowners residing in the Westmont Development, north of Wtlshire Avenue, advising their objectiOns were limited to the proposed setback, n,,mher of units and building height, and not to the proposed use. Mr. charles Roberts, at the request of Councilman Stephenson, explained the proposed setbacks were of varying distances, the closest building being 13 feet from the R-O Zone line, and the remainder of the buildings were a distance of 19 feet. Councilman Pebley requested the Council hold a rehearing on the re- vised plans. Councilman Stephenson concurred. Mr. Harry Knisely, Attorney representing the Applicant, addressed the Council advising the property has recently changed ownership and the present owner desires to upgrade the plans to a superior project, if possible, and if the matter of revised plans is to be set for rehearing, he requested an exten- sion of time on the original Variance application which was granted by the City Council, pursuant to Resolution No. 69R-:483, and also to Reclassification No. 69-70-1. 70-715 City Hall, A~heim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES .- December 22, 1970, 1:30 P.M. At the request of the Council, Mr. Roberts briefed previous ac- tions taken by the City Planning Commission and City Council relative to subject variance application and explained how the revised plans differed from the plans which were approved by the granting of Variance No. 2100. Mr. Knisely advised that before the revised plans were filed with the City he had met with the property owners in the area in an effort to meet all objections. Mrs. Harold LeDuc, 1400 Birchmont Drive, addressed the Council, advising of their objection to the setbacks and to the granting of a var- iance for a 3-story apartment complex adjacent to R-O residential, referr- ing to the adjoining 2-story commercial development on Wflshire Avenue. Mr. Geisler, City Attorney, reminded the opposition that the only matter before the Council was the revision to the original plans; that the 3-story variance was previously granted with basically no setbacks and with carports backing up to the single-family fences. That the consideration by the residents in the area could be a determination as to whether they prefer the revised plans over those originally approved. Mrs. LeDuc was of the opinion that the Council approved a quali- fied R-3 Zone as originally 50% of the first story was to have been sub- merged, so in essence, the proposal was for a 2-1/2-story building. In answer to Councilman Pebley, Mr. Roberts advised the new plans are for single-story along the northerly portion of the property, then the proposal transitions into a building that is a combination 2-story and 3- story, with the 3-story portion completely above ground and located on the southerly boundary of the property; that all parking is subterranean with the circulation away from the R-O properties. Mrs. LeDuc stated that the original plans for 100 units were pre- ferred by the residents of Westmont Estates as they offer them more archi- tectural advantages; that they realize the revised plans are more desirable from the City's point of view. Mr. Rudy Bauer, representing VTN Construction Company, Architect- Engineers, advised he met with the residents of the area and reviewed the revised plans with them in an effort to meet their objections, and further explained the completely subterranean parking, with the exception of three guest parking spaces on the surface. That the increase in the number of units from 100 to 115 was for economic reasons to provide a safe return on their total investment. He was of the opinion that the only variation from the R-3 Code was the three-story along the southerly portion of the property. Regarding the setback on the north, he advised that the buildings have been realigned to be 19 feet to the wall line and 24 feet 4 inches to the glass line, however, said realignment does not show on the revised plans being considered, but are indicated on the plans approved by the owner to be sub- mitted to the Building Department. Further, that the roof line along the north boundary cuts off completely any sight from the southerly buildings. Mrs. LeDuc advised that the original plans indicated the back of the garages adjacent to their property line, rather than living quarters. She was of the opinion there was no greater economic factor involved as the original plans also indicated partial underground parking, plus the build- ings were 'to be subterranean. That their request was to have the same re- strictions on this complex that have been imposed on other developments in the area. Mr. J.W. Seapy, 1253 Pearl Street, being east of subject property, asked how far the 3-story building would be from his property line. Mr, Roberts advised that the Seapy property is zoned R-2, there- fore, the single-story restriction within 150 feet of his property would not apply. 70-716 City Hall, Anaheim, California- COUNCIL MINUTES- Dec~mher 22, 1970, 1:30 P.M. plans. Councilman Pebley withdrew his request for a rehearing on the revised Mr. John Kimball, 1424 Btrchmont, advised he also would rather the development be in accordance with the original plans. Councilman Stephenson requested a public hearing before the Council on the revised development plans for Variance No. 2100. MOTION - EXTENSION OF TIME - VARIANCE NO. 2100 AND RECLASSIFICATION NO. 69-70-1: On motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Clark, a 6-month extension of time from February 19, 1971 was granted Variance No. 2100 and Reclassifica- tion No. 69-70-1. ~TION CARRIED. TENTATIVE TRACT NOo 6792, REVISION NO. 2: Developer, Irwin J. Kenyon; property lo- cated on the west side of Ninth Street, north of Orangewood Avenue, and con- tains 20 proposed R-1 zoned lots, (Variance No. 2219 and Reclassification No. 68-69-41.) The City Planning Commission, at their meeting held November 30, 1970, approved said Tentative Map, subject to the following conditions: 1. That a 6-foot masonry wall shall be constructed along the north property line. 2. That should this subdivision be developed as more than one sub- division, each subdivision thereof shall be submitted in tentative form for approval. 3. That the approval of Tentative Map of Tract No. 6792, Revision No. 2, is granted subject to the approval of Reclassification No. 68-69-41 and Variance No. 2219. 4. That in accordance with City Council policy, a 6-foot masonry wall shall be constructed on the east property line separating Lot No. 1 and Ninth Street, except that corner Lot No. 1 shall be stepped down to a height of thirty inches in the front yard setback, and except that pedestrian open- ings shall be provided in said walls where cul-de-sacs abut the planned high- ways right-of-way line of an arterial highway. Reasonable landscaping, includ- ing irrigation facilities, shall be installed in the uncemented portion of the arterial highway parkway the full distance of said wall, plans for said land- scaping to be submitted to and subject to the approval of the Superintendent of Parkway Maintenance. Following installation and acceptance, the City of Anaheim shall assume the responsibility for maintenance of said landscaping. 5. That all lots within this tract shall be served with underground utilities. 6. That the vehicular access rights, except at street and/or alley openings to Ninth Street, shall be dedicated to the City of Anaheim. 7. That drainage shall be discharged in a manner that is satisfac- tory to the City Engineer. 8. That Street "~' shall be recorded as Wakefield Avenueand that Street "B" shall be recorded as Waverly Drive. 9. It is normal City policy to require dedication of ultimate street right-of-way and construction of street improvements for "not a part" parcels resulting from tract development; however, because of existing trees and im- provements on the "not a part" parcel remaining from Tract No. 6792,ultimate dedication and improvement is impractical at this time. Therefore, it is re- co,w, ended that the following conditions be placed on this "not a part" parcel: a. That the owner(s) of subject property shall deed to the City of Anaheim a strip of land 30 feet in width from the centerline of the street along Ninth Street for street widening purposes. b. That the owner(s) of subject property shall deed to the City of Anaheim a strip of land 45 feet in width from the centerline of Ninth Street for street for street widening purposes. This easement deed is to be written so that it shall become effective upon the death of the grantor or upon the sale or rezontng of the "not m part" parcel, whichever occurs first. c. That street pavement be installed westerly 22 feet from the cen- terline of Ninth Street in accordance with standard plans and specifications on file in the office of the City Engineer; and that the estimated cost of the pavement be included in the improvement bond for Tract No. 6792. 70-717 ~ity Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - Dec-mher 22, 1970, 1:30 P.M. d.

Mr. Roberts reported that previous Council action on extension of time to the reclassification required plans of deveIopment be submitted to the City Council for approval prior to the issuance of a building permit. He furthar reported that this action did not necessarily have any effect on the approval of the Final Tract Nap. Final Nap, Tract No. 4476 was approved as recoumended by the City Engineer, on motion by Councilman Vabley, seconded bYCounctlman Thom. PDTION CAP. ZED. q~_C~ NO. 4476 - p_LA~S O~ DEVELOPHENT: Hrs. Frances Scarsone, 310 North Torrance, referred to assurance siren by Hr. Rinker, that the homes in subject tract ~ould be better than those in the adjacent tract. She stated that they rea- 1Lzed they could not build luxury homes next to the other tract, but they had Just viewed the plans and considered them better than the other plans; however, their concern nme was the fact that they are building the homes under plan No. 235 Federal Housin$, and that they will be priced at the amount required by the Federal GoVernment for ~-bedroomhomes. l/rs. Scarsone stated that they had been assured that type of build- ing would not take place, and asked why Federal Housing was permitted next to $50,000.00 homes. Hr. Geisler advised that the City Council did not have the author- ity'to prohibit Federal Government projects vr~thin the City of Anaheim any more than they could prohibit G.I. or F.H.A. financing or any other method ~ich is devised by the Federal Government for housing. He further reported that the only authority the City Council has is to specify that the houses be upgraded, and this the Council has done. Plans were reviewed by the City Council. Mr. Harry Rinker, land owner, reported that on February 28, 1966, the entire parcel was zoned R-3, permitting 36 dwellingunits per net acre; that the petition now proposed is a single-family development with approxi- mately 6.3 units per net acre. 70-719 City Hall, ADaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 22, 1970, 1:30 P.M. Mr. Rinker stated that after the entire parcel was rezoned from R-3 to R-2-5,000 it was sold Mr. Holstein, who developed two of the three proposed tracts. The Holstein homes in these two tracts were a disappoint- ment also to him, as he built to minimum F.H.A. specifications. As a re- sult, he determined that whoever built the remaining homes would build a quality home, aesthetically and structurally, so that this situation would not be repeated. He then investigated the homes built by Mr. Presley, which are in the same category and price range, and what is now proposed is the highest quality home that could be expected to be built on this parcel of property. He felt Mr. Presley was a cooperative builder, and will do everything reasonable and within his power to develop an attrac- tive project. In answer to Councilman Stephenson's question, Mr. Rinker repor- ted that the homes will sell for $2,000.00 less than the adjacent tract, however, they will be considerably better. Mr. Rinker stated that everyone must recognize that the Federal Government has advised builders repeatedly, and the Secretary of H.U.D., Mr. Romney, has made known his disappointment to the fact that many cities throughout the Country are refusing to grant approval of housing for lower income families, and if this persists, those isolated cities will have con- trols taken away from them and the Federal Government will take over con- trol and allow this type of building anywhere. Mr. Rinker related a list of items showing the difference be- tween the Holstein tract and the proposed development. He advised that Mr. Presley's homes will be slightly larger in size, ranging from 1,232- square feet to 1,250-square feet; they will have cement driveways, marbel- itc in the bathrooms, cast iron double sinks, cermatc tile kitchens, and have far more attractive exteriors. Mr. Rinker advised that, according to his understanding, present- ing development plans for approval was a volunteer action on their part, as legally the plans cannot be forcibly approved; he has, however, volun- tarily submitted plans to show that, within the price range that can be built on this site, these will be quality homes. Mr. Randall Presley, Builder, submitted for Council review, 7 different elevations for the plans, plus 1 additional elevation with plush front garages. He reported that these elevations have been shown to the interested people in at~tendance. Mr. Presley noted the standards that will be incorporated in the development which exceed F.H.A. requirements, such as cast iron sinks and bath tubs, instead of pressed steel, and standard ceramic tile in the kit- chens, instead of formica. Mrs. Susan Wilson, 219 North Torrance, Tract Representative for Fashion Hills tothe Santa Aha Canyon Improvement Association, stated their objections were not necessarily to the proposed houses, as it was to reduc- ing the sale price in order to qualify under the Federal Program. This, she felt, would bring in more children to add to the present overcrowded school conditions. Councilman Thom replied that the price of the homes was an item over which the City Council had no control. Mr. Ronald Thompson reported that the Development Services Staff has reviewed the plans submitted to the City Council. He further advised that in viewing subject plans and those previously approved by the City Council, east of Imperial Highway, on the south side of Santa Aha Canyon Drive, (developed by Mr. Ken Koll), subject plans do not meet the criteria set for the.Koll development. It was felt at the time of the Koll applica- tion that a 3-bedroom home with 1,225-square feet might be appropriate, but that a 4-bedroom home should be in the vicinity of 1,500-square feet. He stated that subject plans were slightly superior to the Holstein Develop- ment, however, it was the feeling of the Staff that considerably more could 70-720 Ball, Anaheim, California - CQUNCIL ~f~NUTES - December 22, 1970, 1:30 P.H. be done to upgrade the project, such as shake and shingle roofs and varied setbacks. Mr. Rinker stated that it must be recognized that there were things that could be done further up the Canyon thatcannot be done at this location. He noted that they not only have the existing homes, but they were boxed in on two sides with the Freeway on the other side that looks down on these homes. He further stated that he had attempted to fulfill his c~itment in endeavor- ing to upgrade and obtain the best quality homes possible for this site, and that Mr. Vresley has made it evident that he will do everything possible to make this an attractive development. RECESS: Councilman Stephenson moved for a 5-minute Recess. Councilman Pebley se- conded the motion. HOTION CARRIED. (3:40 P.M.). AX~RECBSS; Mayor Dutton called the meeting to order, all members of the City Council being present. T~ACT NO, 4476 - PLANS OF DEVE'LOPMBNT (CONTINUED): Hr. Rinker, in conclusion, re- quested approval of the plans as submitted. He noted that the people address- ing the Council had not necessarily objected to the proposed houses, but had objected to the financing, which is a matter beyond the control of the City Council, and to some extent, beyond the control of the Developer. Councilman Pebley moved that plans and elevations presented be ap- proved. Councilmen Thom seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
