to hear and consider evidence for and against said proposed conditional use permit and to investigate
and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith; and that said public hearing was
continued to the May 19, 2003 Planning Commission meeting; and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made by
itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said hearing,

the proposed building, a zoning ordinance will be adopted in connection with Reclassification No. 99-00-
15 to reclassify the property to the ML(SE) (Limited Industrial -Sports Entertainment Overlay) Zone.
3. That waiver (a), minimum number of parking spaces, is hereby approved based on the
conclusions contained in the submitted parking study described in paragraph (26) of the Staff Report to
the Planning Commission dated May 19, 2003, and which study was approved by the City Traffic and
Transportation .Manager.
4. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not cause fewer pff-street
parking spaces to be provided for the proposed use than the number of such spaces necessary to
accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonably foreseeable
conditions of operation of the use.
5. That the parking waiver, under the conditions imposed, will not increase the demand and
competition for parking spaces upon the publicstreets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use.

right-of-way provides landscaping plus a substantial grade difference between the SR 57 (Orange)
Freeway and the subject property.
10. That strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties under identical zoning classification in the vicinity because the property to the
south across Katella Avenue between the freeway and Douglass Road, which is developed with a hotel.,
was granted a similar setback waiver in connection with the proposed development of that hotel.
11. That the proposed vocational school and event parking will not adversely affect the
adjoining land uses and the growth and development of the area in which said uses will be located based
on adherence to the required traffic management plan.
12. That the size and shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow full
development of the proposal in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health,
safety and general welfare.
13 That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the
streets and highways designed and improved to carry the traffic in the area.
14. That granting this Conditional Use Permit, under the conditions imposed, will not be
detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Anaheim.
15. That no one indicated their presence at said public hearing in opposition to the proposal;
and that no correspondence was received in opposition.

Item No. 2
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL:
(8) i The petitioner proposes to establish an automotive'auction facility in conjunction with an
:existing repair (auto body), towing and impound facility within an existing 19,208 square-foot
building. The auction and auto body repair activities would occur within'' he building, and the
':7,830 square-foot impound yard area would expantl to inclutle the areaito the rear. of the
building as well as part of the parking area to the north. The two letters`of operation
submitted by the applicant indicate that the business activities would work in conjunction
'with one another. The business acquires used automobiles from lien sales of impounded
vehicles through the onsite towing business or bank repossessions.: When neetled, these
:cars are painted and repaired in the facility on the premises. `These vehicles would be sold `
at the auction. The auto body`repair is not open to'the public and serves only the towing
and impound business. The auto body repair is conducted Monday through Friday from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. The auto auction is proposed to operate on Saturday and Sunday; only,
between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,'depending on the availability oflinventory:
(7) The site plan (Revision 1 of Exhibit No. 1) and floor plan (Revision 1 of Exhibit No: 2)
indicate the existing'industrial building would be improved with approximately 8,205 square
'feet designated for auto body repair and :10,558 square feet of assembly area for he auto
'auction including restrooms and 1,072 square feet of office area. The previously approved
:floor plan included the entire 19,208 square foot building as auto body repair, with: the office
`spaced unchanged' A permanent wall is!proposed o separate the two uses, to comply with::
all Building Code requirements. The plans indicate'that vehicles may enter the building via
'three roll-up doors on the easfbuilding elevation and one roll-up door on'the south elevation::
The impound area is proposed to be expanded from 7,380 square feet to 25,345 square feet.
and include the area to the south of the building and a portion`bf the existing parking area to
the east of the building.
(8) 'Two driveways provide vehicle access from La Jolla Street, with tow trucks accessing the
'site from the eastern driveway: The site'plan approved in conjunction with Conditional Use
"Permit No: 2001-04399 indicated a total of 55 usable parking;spaces on`the property (the 18'
spaces within the impound yard area were not counted since vehicles are impounded/stored,
in this area). At the time of the approvafof this contlitional use permit, Code required a
minimum'of 70 spaces for this auto body and towinglimpound facility. Based on the revised
'floor plan Code would require the fallowing:

photograpfis and plans indicate`the exterior buildingmaterialsconssst of masonry blocks,
with typicatstorefrontgloss door's and windows for the office portion of the building facing La
Jolla Street, and three (3) metal roll-up doors located on the east (side)bujlding elevation

fencing at a height sufficient to'screen the'outdoor aspects of the business.
(10) The photographs indicate that the existing landscape area consists of sods and five`(5)
existing mature trees'adjacent to La Jolla Street. Staff inspections revealed that the sod is
in need of lrepair and hat only hree (3) mature trees'exist. Code requires: one tree per 20
feet of street frontage; for a total'of eighF(8) trees for this site: The landscaping js in poor
condition'and needs!substantialrefurbishment. After meetingwith staff, the petitioner has
"indicated that the landscaping will be enhanced to meet Code'~equirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT+ANALYSIS:
(11) The Planning Director's authorized representative has determined that the proposed project
falls within the definition of CategoricaFEzemptions, Section.15301, Class 1 (Existing
Facilities), as defined in the State CEQA Guidelines and is, therefore, categoricallyexempt
from the requirement o prepare'additional' environmental documentation.
I GROWTH MANAGEMENTELEMENTANALYSIS:
(12) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determine whether
it conformsiwith the City's Growth Management Element adopted by the City Council on
'March 17, .1992. Based on Cityistaff review of the proposed project, it has been determined
that this project does not fit within the scope necessary to require a Growth Management
Element analysis, therefore, no analysis has been pertormed.
EVALUATION:
(13) An automotive repair(auto body) facility, stowing/impound facility and automobile sales are
permitted within the SP94-1 DA1 Zone subject td approval of a conditional use permit.
(14) At the time of approval far the previous conditional use permit, Code required 70 spaces
based on the information in paragraph no (8) of this3eport. The previously-approved site
plan indicated a total of 55 spaces available on-site. The petitioner submitted a parking
'study prepared by RBF Consulting, dated July 10, 2001, to substantiate the requested
parking waiver along with the conditional use permit:`The City Traffic and Transpdrtation
Manager reviewed said study acid determined thafthere is sufficient parking for this:
'business,provided tfiat 13 parking spaces were marked for customer parking only°and that
the proposed gate restricting access to customer parking be removed from the plans. The
Yevised site plan indicates a total of 18 customer parking spaces. Based upon the submitted a
letters of operation, he auto hotly repair'and auto auction components of the onsite
business will not be operating'simultaneously in order to ensure that adequate customer
parking is'provided atoll times.°

Item No: 2
(15) Staff has received four letters in opposition of this request (attached). Each of the letters
indicate that there is hot enough parking for the current use and that there is a general traffic
and parking problem:in the area.
(16) Staff believes that this property,is appropriately located for this ype of business. The facility.
- does not front on a major arterial highway and, generally, will not be visible to putilic. Staff,
.however, recommends adoption of conditions of approval pertaining to the maintenance of
the property and operation of the facility consistent with conditions of approval of the originals
'conditional use permit. At the time this staff report was prepared, a site inspection revealed
hat the landscape setback adjacent to La Jolla Street is in need of refurbishment:; After
meeting with staff, the petitioner has indicated that the landscaping along.. La Jolla Street is
h the process of being refurbished and will be completed by tie time of the meeting.
(17) Staff also recommehds that conditions of approval be adopted o prohibit: any outdoor work
'on vehicles, that no outdoor equipment (ie„ lifts, cranes, jacks, etc.) shall be permitted, and
f3hat there will be no outdoorstorage of vehicle partsi Outdodr activity sfiall be limited to the:
impounding of vehicles intro the designated impound area as shown on the exhibit. ;Staff
also recommends that vehicle storage not be permitted outside of the impound yartl.
(18) Staff also has concerns regarding the compatibility df the three business activities coexisting
'on the same property. Staff feels that as proposed,'the operation is appropriate, with the
vehicles that are sold at auction are also.those that are already on the property as part of the
impound and auto hotly repair;facility. Staff is concerned thatlif any other vehicles are
brought onsite to be sold at auction that the parking may not tie adequate to support the
ackivity. Staff recommends that along with not allowing the auto body repair and the auction -
to operate at simultaneously, that the Planning Commission condition that no automobile
vehicles are to be delivered to this property for the purpose of being auctioned thaFdid not
arrive as a result of the existing'business'acGvity of impound and auto body repair.
FINDINGS:
(19) :Before the Planning Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a'finding of`
fact that the eviderice presented shows that all of the following conditions exist:
(a) That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use`permit is
authorized by the Zoning Code, or that said use is not listed therein as being a 1
permitted use;
(b) That the proposed use would not adversely affect the adjoining land uses and the
growth and tlevelopment of the area in whidh it is proposed to be located;
(c) That the size and shape;of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow the full
developmenYof the proposed userin a manner not detrimental to the particular area

Dear Scott:
Pursuant to your request, this letter shall address your concerns re the nature
of our proposed Auto Auction, and the Body Shop activities.
Description of the Auto Auction Business
We acquire used autos from lien sales of impounded automobiles through
our towing business or bank repos. Some of these cars need body work
and/or paint. We do the necessary body work and/or paint and offer the
autos for sale through auction.
The auctions will be held on weekends only. The auction will be held
between the hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm depending on availability of
inventory
The Body Shop area is strictly for work on our own cars. We only do that
between the ours of ~:OOam to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday onlyr The
body shop is not open for the public, and we do not do any work. for the
public. That is why we believe that screening rather than separation by a
wall will be sufficient.
If you ~ any further questions, please contact me.

SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION:
(1) This irregularly-shaped 14.7-acre property has a frontage of 469: feet pn the southwest side
of;Nphl Ranch Road, a maximum depth of 1529 feet,iand is located 1,920 feet southeast of
the centerline of Canyon Rim Rpad (6352' East Nohf Ranch Road -Anaheim Saddle Club).
REQUEST:
(2) The petitioner requests approval of a conditional use permit under the authority of Code
Section 18121,050.125 to construct a freestanding telecommunications antenna facility
(faux pine design) and' accessory ground-mounted equipment.
BACKGROUND:
(3) This property is developed with a private equestrian center and is zoned RS-A-43,000 (SG
(Residential/Agricultural -Scenic Corridor Overlay) and OS (SC) (Open Space -Scenic
Corridor Overlay). The Anaheim' General Plan Land Use Elemeht Map designates this
property for General Open Space land uses and further designates the surcounding
properties for General; Open Space to the south, east; and wesh and Residential Low-
Medium Hillside and General Open Spaceland uses o the north.
PREVIOUS ZONING ACTIONS:
(4) The following zoning actions pertain to this property:
(a) 'Conditional Use Permit No. 2741 (to permit the expansion of an equestrian
:center) was approved by the Commission on January 6, 1986:
(b) .Variance No. 3136 (waiver of required lot frontage on a public street) was
approved,by the Commission on February 11, 1980.
(c) Conditional Use Permit No. 1959 (to permit a commercial equestrian center on
he northerly 4.72 acres) was: apprpvedby the Commission on March 26, 1979..
PROPOSAL: {
(5) The petitioner proposes to construct a 35', 2" high faux pine tree telecommunicatiohs
facility including ground-mounted accessory equipment. The proposed facility wduld
consist of three (3) sectors with two (2) panel antennas on each sector for a total of six (6)
antennason the facility. The panel antennas would be 6-feet high by 1-foot wide and 4
`inches thick. One (1)2-foot by 2-foot microwave antenna and one (1) GPS whip antenna
would also be located'within the branchesbf the faux pine. The accessory ground-
mounted equipment would be located approximatelyeighty-eight (88) feet south of the

enhanced coverage and capacity, The search ring for this facility was centered at the
intersection of Nohl Ranch Road and Via Madera which is located approximately677 feet
o the base of the proposed fauxpine.
(14) The Planning Department continues to discourage unscreened telecommunication facilities
due to the significant cumulative visual impact on the community as a whole. However, this
proposal'would not; significantly impact the visual aesthetics of the area,; as it would not be
visible from Nohl Ranch Road or the adjacent surrounding properties. Staff feels that
''stealth" installations are thebest alternative to decrease visual clutterand advance the
°aestheticguality of the community. The'design of his telecommunication antenna
achieves the City's: objective to screen these types of facilities. The faux pine would be
setback 340 feet from Nohl Ranch Road`and located adjacent to existing mature trees and
`as such,. would "blend in" within the context of the'site. Staffihas included a condition of
approvaCrequiring,the proposed color of the facility o blend into the color paletteof
``adjacenftrees, as well as a condition of,approvalYequiring the antennas tc not extend
beyond the branches utilized to camouFlage the facility. The'petitionerwould be required to'
`'submit to`staff a colors and material board prior to issuance of a building permit associated'
with the construction of this project. As conditionetl herein, staff recommends approval of
this request.
FINDINGS:
(15) Before the Planning; Commission grants any conditional use permit, it must make a finding
of fact that the evidence presented shows that all of the following conditions exist::
(a) Tftat the proposed use is properly;one for which a conditional use permit is
authorized by the Zoning Code, or that said `use is noElisted therein as being a
permitted use;
(b) That the size: and shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow the full
development: of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to he particular area
nor to the peace, health, safety, and general welfare; '
(c) That the traffic generated by the proposed use will notimpose an undue burden
upon the streets and highways designed and improved to carrythe trafficln the
area; and
(d) That the granting of the conditional use permit under the conditions imposed, if any, `,
will not be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and.: general welfare of the
citizens of the City of Anaheim. '

and determine the following facts:
1. That the proposed use is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized by
Anaheim Municipal Code Section 18.21.050.125.
2. That the size and shape of the site for the proposed use is adequate to allow the full
development of the proposed use in a manner not detrimental to the particular area nor to the peace, health,
safety, and general welfare as the proposed telecommunication facility would be designed to simulate a pine
tree and would blend in within the existing trees in the vicinity, and would be unrecognizable as a
telecommunication facility from the public right-of-way; and
3. That the traffic generated by the proposed use will not impose an undue burden upon the

agency; and that it has considered the proposed Negative Declaration together with any
comments received during the public review process and further finding on the basis of the
Initial Study and any comments received that there is'ho substantial evidence thatthe project
will have a;significant effect on the environment.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT ANALYSIS:
(18) The proposed project has been reviewed by affected City departments to determinewhether it
conforms with the City's Growth Management Element adopted by the City Council on

that this project does not fit within the scope necessary to require a Growth Management
Element analysis, therefore, no analysis has been pertormed.

Item No. 5>
'.EVALUATION:
(19) Commercial retail centers, churches, and private clubs, lodges, acrd meeting halls are
permitted within the CL (BCC) Overlay Zone"subject to approval of a conditional use permit.
(20) The requested waiver pertains to minimum number of parking spaces. Code regwres a
_ minimum of 213 parking: spaces for the commercial retail center, including the two (2)
churches and the recovery center meeting hall and plans indicate'64 proposed spacesas
described in paragraph'no. (10) of his report:: The petitioner has ubmitted two parking
analyses prepared by Traffic Safety Engineers, Inc., dated March :15 and April 12, 2004, to
substantiate the requested parking waiver. The City Traffic and Transportation Manager has
reviewed the parking analysis and has determined that the proposed parking areas
referenced in the parking study are sufficienYfor the churches, meeting hall, and commercial
uses on theproperry, .Based on the parking study, the parking demand at peak use is 70% of
tfie parking available on site for the commercial retail center and the churches and meeting
hall: Staff has also conducted site: inspections at various times and days throughout the week
(Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and afternoon, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings,
and Sunday mornings).;: Based on staffs inspections, the parking demand at peak use is 65%
of available parking during the week and 95% of available parking' during the weekend; The
City Traffic and Transportation Manager hasteviewed this study and has determined that the
actual supply; of 64 spaces on the property is; adequate for the commercial retail center,
including the two (2) churches and. the recovery center meeting hall. Based upon the City
Traffic and Transportation Manager's analysis and recommendation, staff recommends
approval of this waiver posed on the following findings:'.:
"(a) That the waiver, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street
parking spaces fo be provided for such use than the number of such'spaces
necessary tc accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and
reasonable foreseeable conditions of operation: of such use.
The parking study indicates that peakparking demand forbff-street parking spaces is
substantially lower than the: quantity.provided for the two: (2) churches, the meeting
hall, and other pommercial enants.
(b} That the waiver,'underthe ponditionsimposed, if any, will not increase the demand
.and competition for parking spaces. upon the public streets in the immediate vfcinfty of '
the proposed use.
The proposed project will not increase or compete for on-street parking because the
parking lot has more than adequate parking to accommodate for both churches, the
meeting hail, and other commercial tenants. Parking counts indicate 30% of do-site
parking is vacant during peak hours.
(c) That the waiver,` under the conditions imposed, if any, wilfnot increase the demand for '
parking spaces upon adjacent private propertyin the immediate vicinity of the
proposed use.
The parking study indicates the property parking area is sufficient to accommodate the
demand of parking generated by these three assembly uses and therefore would not
increase the demand for parking spaces upomadjacent private property in the-
immediate vicinity of the site.
(d) That the waiver, under the: conditions imposed,: if any, will not increase traffic
congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for such use.

The<project will not cause increased traffic congestion within off-street parking areas of
the site because on-site parking is'dnly 70% occupied during peak`parking demand
periods.
(e) That fhe waiver, under fhe conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular ingress:
to or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the' immediate vicinity
of the proposed use.
Theproject site parking area has a total of three (3) access outlets: Peak traffic
demands occur on Suntlays and weeknights only. No impeding of,traffic access into
or out of the atljacent parking lots was observed during parking demand surveys of thee'
project parking: IoC'
(21) As indicated in the attached memorandum from the Code Enforcement bivision dated June
18, 2004,'this application is the result'of a citizen request in early '2002, regarding the!
evolution of an existing thrift store into a 12-Step Recovery Program, the overall condition of
the property, the type of persons congregating at the center,; and concerns about smoking'::
inside the building. Throughout 2002, the Code Enforcement Division continued`to receive'
numerous citizens' requests for`service relating to the use of the center Requests for service`
pertained to nuisance violationsand the need for an;entertainment permit. Although most of
the violations were abated, violations pertaining to the overall maintenance of the; property,y
and activities being 'conducted' at the center, continued. ::Since early 2002, 'the Codel
Enforcement Division and the Zoning Division have.had several meetings with the property]
owner and/or his attorney, conducted several site inspections, and ::have meF with the'
operators of both churches and the meeting hall in an effort to gain compliance with regard to
both land use and property maintenance issues associated with'ahe property. The latest effort'
has resulted In this application request. On June 16, 2004,,tfe CodesEhforcement Division-
inspected the property and observed certain outstanding code violations iincluding;discarded
furniture and refuse in the parking area and at the rear of the'property facing Colony Streets
chain link fencing, and' unpermitted interior and exterior improvements to the building.
(22) Due to the extensive code enforcement history pertaining to this property, staff has included
several conditions of `approval to address the operational Characteristics'of the churches and?
recovery hall, building';and safety concerns:; as well as property,maintenance issues related to
the overall commercial center ..Staff has included standard conditions ofapproval limiting the
flours of operation to those stipulated in each letter'of operation. Due to the proximity of the%
site to residential uses, staff has included a condition'of approval requiring. the "Comedy Club">
within the recovery hall operation to be eliminated.
(23) The two (2);buildings located on;the property have undergone a significant amount`of interior
tenant improvements without proper review and approval by the Building and Safety Division`
These commercial tenant spaces have been converted into assembly areas and have note:
tieen evaluated for conformance to the building code related to occupancy and exitingS
requirements. Because these modifications to the building may compromise the' afety of`
members of the churches and meeting hall, staff'. has included a condition of approvaG
requiring that each operator antl/or the property owner submitjplans and obtain appropriate'
bu(Iding permits for all outstanding tenant improvements within sixty:: (60) days of this':
'approval
(24) As identified above, the Ministerio Impacto Nuevo Church is expanding into Suite 15 without
the benefiPof appropriate approvals. Staff has attempted to make contact with the church, but
has been unable to get a response from a`representative of the'church drthe property owner
No plans have been `submitted reflecting this modification/expansion to their church operation.'
As indicated in the memorandum from the Code Enforcement Division; the church is now S
tillled for utilities in this tenank space. If this space is to be utilized for assembly area, the

Code Enforcement Division
DATE: JUNE 18, 2004
TO: JOHN RAMIlZEZ, PLANNER
FROM: LINDA C. EAVES, SENIOR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
SUBJECT: CODE ENFORCEMENT HISTORY AT 2230 W. COLCHESTER DRfVE
The subject property, formerly addressed as 821 S. Brookhurst, was originally zoned R-3,
Multiple Family Residential, but Reclassified to C-1, Neighborhood Commercial in 1959. The
center was constructed in 1960, and consists of two, single-story buildings, each containing 8
units, sepazated by a corridor containing the electrical meters. The rear of the building fronts
onto Colony Street and has a lazge open area mm~ing the length of the building, enclosed by a
block wall .and chain link fence combination.
Since the Reclassification, there have been Zoning actions on the property. The only remaining
CUP #1662, granted in November 19'76, permits on sale liquor in a Lodge, and Variance 1323
for the sale of beer and wine in conjunction with a restaurant. A church was previously
permitted in 1993, CUP #3649, which expired in December 1995.
Review of Code Enforcement records indicates an extensive history of involvement at the
property dating back to 1984. Numerous requests for service involved: nuisance violations i.e.
refuse and waste, inoperative vehicles, discazded furniture, landscape maintenance, graffiti; sign
code violations; alterations to the interior premises without first obtaining building permits;
persons living in a commercial space; persons living in a camper in the parking lot; vagrants
drinking alcoholic beverages, sleeping, urinating and defecating at the rear of the center; and
amusement device and entertainment permit requirements.
The current Code Enforcement case was generated from a citizen's request for service in early
2002. The citizen was concerned about the evolution of an existing thrift store into a 12-Step
Recovery Program, the overall condition of the property, the type of persons congregating at the
center, and concerns about smoking inside the building. Throughout 2002, Code Enforcement
continued to receive numerous citizens' requests for service relating to the use of the center,
Requests for service involving nuisance violations and the need for an entertainment permit were
investigated, appropriate notices issued, and the violations abated. Violations pertaining to the
overall maintenance, and activities being conducted at the center, continued.

On June 10, 2002, a Final Notice of Violation and Order to Comply letter was sent to the
property owner, Mr. Chris Dimggiero, outlining the various actions that would be required to
bring the property into compliance (i.e. resurface parking lot, repair broken concrete bumpers,
enhance existing landscape, site screen roof mounted air conditioning, replace broken, unsight]y
exterior lighting, and replacement of missing sign panels in existing signage). In August, a re-
inspection revealed that only the issues pertaining to the parking lot had been abated.
Due to the lack of progress in bringing the property into compliance, a request for an office
conference was generated on August 7, 2002. It is in this memo there is mention of a church
operating in the center without a valid CUP.
The office conference was held on September 12, 2002. Code Enforcement, the Deputy City
Attorney, the property owner, Mr. Chris Diruggiero, and his attorney, Mr. Curd, were in
attendance. At that time, the violations noted in the June 10, 2002 letter were discussed, as was
the need for both the church .and the Orange County Recovery Center, to apply for and obtain a
CUP for operation, as required in the Anaheim Municipal Code. The owner was given 60 days
to bring the property into compliance. On October 22, 2002, the attorney submitted a letter
outlining that all of the violations in the June 20021etter had been abated.
On November 20, 2002 afollow-up inspection was completed. The inspection confinned the
prior violations noted in the June letter had been abated; however, new violations were observed:
The church and Orange County Recovery Center were still in operation. On November 25;
2002, a Notice of Violation .and Order to Comply letter was sent to Chris DiRuggiero, outlining
the additional violations observed at the property, and reiterating a CUP would be necessary for
the two unpermitted uses or they would need to cease operation.
In a letter to Code Enforcement, dated December 4, 2002, the property owner's attorney noted
that his client would take care of the property maintenance issues; however, he did not have
control over the tenants, but wanted to cooperate with the City. Mr. Diruggierio had advised the
tenants to take any necessary actions regazding the CUP process and to deal with the City
directly. At this time, there was only one church (Ministerio Impacto Nuevo Alcance Victoria)
and the Orange County Orange County Recovery Center at the properly.
In December 2002 and January 2003, persons responsible for the church (Pre-File #2002-00152)
.and the Orange County Recovery Center (Pre-File #2003-0005) respectively, came into the
Planning Division and submitted Pre-File applications. At that time, it was also determined the
owner of the property would also require a CUP, as his center met the definition of a
Commercial Retail Center {Section 18.01.040), with 3 or more commercial uses operating in the
center. Pre-File comments also addressed other issues: prohibition of chain link fencing at the
reaz, site screening of roof mounted equipment, landscape requirements, and parking issues.

Throughout 2003, Chris Powell, operator of the Orange County Recovery Center, when asked by
Code Enforcement about the processing of the paperwork for the CUP, indicated he was waiting
for the owner to complete the remaining items. This was confirmed in a conversation on April
16, 2003, with the property owner, who stated "had his guy working on it". The owner
continued to assert that he did not have to obtain a CUP for operation of the center.
In April 2003, Code Enforcement, during an inspection, determined that there was an additional
unpennitted use in Unit #15. The unit was being used for off-site storage for a hair products
vendor operating at the Orange County Swap Meet. A check of City of Anaheim Utility records
indicated the tenant had been at the site since 1989.
In July 2003, I inspected the property and observed graffiti on the south side of the building.
Signs above the units indicated there were now three unpermitted churches (Victory Outreach
[Units #1-4], Iglesia Ministerio hnpacto Nuevo [Units #13 & 14], and Igreja Brasileira de
Anaheim Cultos [Unit #16]), and the Orange County Recovery Center operating at the location.
As viewed from the front windows, it appeazed that tenant improvements (doors cut though
common walls) had been completed in Units #6-8, and other tenant improvements were being
completed in Unit #5. This confirmed Chris Powell's eazlier statements that he was planning on
downsizing the Orange County Recovery Center from 5 to 3 units. A check of Planning
Division records indicated permits had not been obtained for the interior tenant improvements,
and additional CUP application materials had not been submitted to the City. Additional
violations, that had not been previously addressed, involved an abandoned freestanding sign
fronting W. Colchester, and an abandoned sign over Units #10-12, both for the Barbary Coast
Cabaret. According to City of Anaheim records, the Bazbary Coast last operated in 2000.
In October 2003, I inspected the property and found the center operating with the same uses
noted in my previous inspection in July 2003. The appearance of the center had improved. The
landscaping throughout was well maintained and the parking. azea had been re-slurried and
striped, and the trash enclosure had been refurbished. The graffiti on the south side of the
building, first observed in July, remained.
Throughout the remainder of 2003 .and eazly 2004, City staff maintained contact with the
property owner's attorney, through written conespondence and one meeting with the Planning
Director, Sheri Vander Dussen, and Selma Mann, Deputy City Attorney, in Decembet 2003.
The content of these communications were aimed at overcoming objections to filing of the
necessary CUP's to bring the center into land use conformity.
Code Enforcement received a call from a concerned citizen in February 2004 about the
expansion of the center to include a comedy club. It was reported that there were in excess of 90
attendees during one weekend event. The noise associated with the event and the parking
problems for surrounding residents were reported to be quite disturbing.

On June 16, 2004, Code Enforcement inspected the property and observed the landscaping in the
front of the center adequately maintained; the previously abandoned signs from the Barbary
Coast had been replaced with ones reflecting the new baz, "EI Encanto"; .and the parking lot was
clean, as was the trash enclosure area. There was a shopping cart filled with trash at the most
northeast corner of the property and one of the fluorescent light covers in front of the baz was
missing. The comdor between the buildings had minor litter. The reaz of the property, fronting
onto Colony St., was not adequately maintained. The azea between the rear access doors and the
block wall, topped with chain link fencing, contained a significant amount of discazded furniture
and refuse and waste consisting of: drywall, shelves, chairs, a refrigerator, a spa cover, vacuums,
boxes and other debris. The chain link fence was broken and bent at the northwest comer of the
area, and one of the 4 gates leading into the area, from the public sidewalk alorig Colony St. was
broken. The asphalt in this azea had crevices, holes, and cracks and was considered in several
areas to be hazardous to persons walking there. Several of the light fixtures at the rear access
doors were deteriorated and in need of repair (i.e. lacking protective covers, hazazdous wiring).
There also appeared to be unpermitted, exterior improvements (possible plumbing connections)
in Unit #3, but this would have to be confirmed by a building inspector.
Prior to the inspection of June 16, 2003, a check of City of Anaheim Utility records for Unit #15,
the previously unpermitted, off-site storage for a hair products vendor operating at the Orange
County Swap Meet, had temunated service on May 11, 2004. The new customer in the unit was
Iglesia Ministerio Impacto Nuevo. This church now occupies Units #13-15. The rear access
door was open and I could see freshly painted walls. There were boxes of what appeared to be
floor tiles just inside the entrance. I heazd workers hammering inside. I was unable to gain the
workers' attention to inquire what type and extent of work was being performed inside.
We are working with Fire and Building staff to ensure code compliance with all life and safety
issues located within the building.
