Variance were: Mr. Burr Moody, 619 South Philadelphia Street; Mrs. Bertha Lee,

of a precedent, the size of the lot~ the dead end alley, and the already over-
crowded parking conditions in the area.

and questioned why the house was allowed to be constructed at the rear of the

PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 889: Submitted by Peter Petropoulus, requesting
waiver of the P-L zone and permission to construct and operate a restaurant
and cocktail bar on property described as a triangular parcel of land
located on the east side of South Los Angeles Street, approximately 1000 feet
south of Ball Road.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to their Resolution No. 171,
Series 1957-58, denied Variance No. 889 for a waiver of the P-L zone.
Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed
by Mr. Petropoulus and public hearing ordered.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to address the Council.
Mr. Paul Whitmer, associated with the law firm of Lyon, Lev and
Smith, and representing the Applicant, addressed the Council relating {he
history of purchase of the land under consideration. In his opinion, to
maintain the 50 foot P-L zone on this property would render the land useless
for any commercial purpose. That this was a perfect case for variance~ be-
cause lhe land cannot be used for any particular purpose without the granting
of a variance and due to its size and shape no special privilege would be
granted that would not be granted to others because there is no other piece
of property in this same condition. He further advised, that there is a con-
stitutional- question whether or not this was the taking of property without
compensation, and whether the application of the P-L zoning on this particular
parcel of property is unconstitutional because the land is so small that the
establishment of the P-L zone renders the property valueless. With reference
to an offer of purchase, he advised that at no time has a firm offer of pur-
chase been made to the present land owner. That the present applicant is
purchasing the property at a much higher figure.
Mr. Wm. Clark, representing the owners of the property on the north,
south and east of the property under consideration, addressed the Council,
advising that they were very much against the granting of the variance. That
they purchased their property only after the zoning had been looked into and
the fact that the P-L zone was fronting the property. In his opinion, to get
the type of industry Anaheim desires, the industrial area should_remain
industrial and not be encroached upon by commercial uses. With reference to
the statement previously made that the land was purchased before the Ordinance
regulating the P-L zone was enacted, this maybe true, however there were no
arguments against the establishment of the P-L zoning. Property-wise, the
owners he represented were losing more acreage than the owner of this property.
With reference to the offer of purchase, he advised that they had met before
Christmas in an effort to negotiate.
