PRESENT: COUNCILMEN: Chandler (entered the meeting, 3:25 P.M.), Schutte, Krein and Coons. COUNCILMEN: Dutton. CITY MANAGER~ Keith A. Murdoch. CITY ATTORNEY: Joseph Geisler. CITY CLERK: Dene M. Williams. CITY ENOINEER: James p. Maddox. ZONING COORDINATOR: Martin Kreidt. ABSENT: PRESENT~ Mayor Coons called the meeting to order. MINUTES: Councilman Krein moved that minutes of the Anaheim City Council meeting held April 16, 1963, be approved. Councilman Schutte seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. SIDEWALK WAIVER - MANC~ESTER AVENUE - MILTON E. JOHNSON: At the request of Mr. Johnson, for further clarification of the intent of the City Council, the motion made April 9, 1963 granting conditional sidewalk waiver was read. Mr. Murdoch reported that the need for clarification is that part "upon demand by the City"; that in the discussion that preceded the motion, the intent of the Council appeared to be that the City would not demand construction until all of the rest of the improvements in that block would be installed. Later in the discussion, it appeared thrtt this might be too extreme, that all of the property might not be improved at the same time, and it might be necessary for the public interest to install these improve- ments, particularly the curbs. As result, the motion was worded, "upon demand by the City". This portion of the motion alarms the property owner, as the installation could be demanded at any time. Mr. Murdoch further advised that the two Johnson parcels of property constitute substantial frontage of the block, and it was his understanding that the intent of the City to demand installation of these improvements would not be exercised until sufficient remainder of the adjacent properties installed curbs, thereby providing drainage to the South; that improvements south of the Johnson property would make improve- ments along the Johnson property most practical. Mayor Coons stated that the discussion centered around the subdivision backing up to subject property, and of the remote possibility of acquiring curbs and gutters in this area; that as result, the final action of the City Council was for the installation to be upon demand of the City. Mr. Murdoch reported that Mr. Johnson's concern is the contents of the letter of agreement, and as he understood, Mr. Johnson would not hesitate to sign a letter of agreement which would be "upon demand of the City when a substantial portion of the block other than his is improved". At the conclusion of the discussion, it was determined that no change be made in the motion of April 9, 1963, as the intent of the City Council was not to require Mr. Johnson to improve only his property unless there are improvements made to properties in addition to his; further, this action would not involve just the property on which the sidewalk waiver was requested, but also the property adjacent to it, and that the City Engineer be notified that additional improvements south of the Johnson property must be made to warrant the City exercising demand of the improvements on the Johnson two parcels of property. PUBLIC HEARING_ HOUSE MOVING PERMIT: Application submitted by Elmer Lee Mylar, requesting permission to move a house and separate garage from 1014 East Katella Avenue to 2509 Crescent Avenue, Anaheim, was reviewed by the City Council, together with recommendations of the Building Department.

(Councilman Chandler entered the meeting, 3:25 P.M.) On motion by Councilman Schutte, seconded by Councilman Krein, said request for two roof signs was granted as requested, it being understood these two signs are in lieu of any other signs. MOTION CARRIED. SIGN REQUEST - ORBIT GASOLINE: Application submitted by Jack Ferguson, request- ing permission to erect a 200 square foot sign, with four foot projection, advertising Orbit Gasoline, 601 South Western Avenue (southwest corner of Orange and Western Avenues), together with plans, was reviewed by the City Council and report from the Building Department noted. Mr. Ferguson addressed the City Council advising that subject property has a 25 foot curb radius and 15 foot property line radius, and in his opinion good visibility for traffic approaching from both streets would require the requested four foot projection. Discussion was held by the City Council, and at the conclusion thereof, Councilman Krein moved that said sign request be granted, subject to no projection over the property line. Councilman Schutte seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIEDQ TEMPORARY DIRECTIONAL SIGN REQUEST - PREMIER HOMES (TRACT NO. 4679): Application submitted by William I. Rousey, 9102 Garden Grove Boulevard, Garden Grove, requesting permission to erect three 10 foot by 20 foot directional signs for a 28 home subdivision (Tract No. 4679), together with plans and report of the Building Department, were reviewed by the City Council. It was noted that the locations requested for said signs were: (1) East side of Beach Boulevard, 240 feet north of Ball Road; (2) West side of Beach Boulevard, 340 feet south of Ball Road; and (3) South side of Lincoln Avenue, 218 feet west of Western Avenue. Mr. Robert Wetzler, 929 Spring Street, addressed the Council requesting clarification of the exact location of Sign No.1. He called attention to advertising on the north exterior wall of LyndyVs Restaurant, which would be blocked by the proposed subdivision sign, and requested the sign be set back so as not to block from view the Lyndy Restaurant advertise- ment. ~~"'"'C'''''''''~~''"":;''''>i",",'''",,,iiiIIiIir.i.ci~:'',;,,,,''~ f' r 6679 City Hall_ Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 30_ 1963. 3:00 P.M._. Mr. William Rousey, applicant, advised that the subdivision is entirely surrounded by residences, necessitating directional signs to the tract. He called attention to the fact that the signs contained no adver- tising and were directional, only. He stated he would cooperate with Mr. Wetzler in locating Sign No.1, and indicated his willingness to post necessary bonds to insure removal of said signs within any time limit set by the City Council. On motion by Councilman Schutte, seconded by Councilman Krein, said request for three temporary directional signs was granted, subject to the posting of a six month bond in the amount of $100. for each sign. MOTION CARRIED. RECLASSIFICATION NO. 54-55-l2: Communications dated April 15, 1963, from Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stanton, 1498 East Birch Street, and Mr. and Mrs. Willard M. Legg, 1433 East Lincoln Avenue, requesting installation of a six foot ornamental solid block wall adjacent to Cemetery Road and along the east property line of the parking lot for commercial building located at 1425 East Lincoln Avenue, in lieu of existing chain link fence, were submitted and reviewed by the Council. The Mayor asked if Mrs. Stanton were present and wished to address the City Council. Mrs. Howard Stanton addressed the Council in reference to reasons for the request, as stated in the letters, and advised that in her opinion, a six foot solid wall would absorb some of the noise now created by activities of the commercial establishments. Mr. Francis Elliott, Owner of subject property, advised that the restaurant on the property closes at approximately 9:00 O'Clock P.M., and if vehicles are so called "hot rodding" on the lot, he would see that every effort is made to stop them. In his opinion, a block wall would make very little difference in sound, and suggested that Cemetery Road be closed off from the alley which extends easterly to Larch Street, which would eliminate the difficulty as much of the noise emanates from traffic using Cemetery Road as an access to said alley. Discussion was held by the City Council and City Attorney relative to the definition of an "ornamental fence," as required by Ordinance No. 963. Councilman Krein was of the opinion that much of the noise is created by cars parking on Cemetery Road. Councilman SChutte, who is a member of the Cemetery Association Board of Directors, advised the "No Parking" on Cemetery Road will be established in the near future. Later in the meeting, the file 54-55-12 was brought to the Council Chamber and reviewed by the City Attorney. Mr. Geisler reviewed Condition No. 3 regarding fence requirement of Ordinance No. 963, reclassifying subject property. Discussion was held by the City Council; at the conclusion thereof, it was determined that no Council action would be taken on the request submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Stanton and Mr. and Mrs. Legg, inasmuch as the Ordinance has been adopted and requirement of ornamentation on the existing fence would serve no purpose. The second item of the request concerning "No Parking" on Cemetery Road, is in process, according to information of Councilman Schutte. RECLASSIFICATION NO. 6l-62-92 AND TRACT NO. 4645 - EXTENSION OF TIME: Request of Kenneth B. Wallace, Owner, dated April 15, 1963, for one year extension of time to Tentative Map No. 4645 and Reclassification No. 61-62-92, was submitted. Said request was granted by the City Council, on motion by Councilman Schutte, seconded by Councilman Krein. MOTION CARRIED. ~,"__",.",~_",'--"'_'''_'4'~"'"",;,,,,~ .......- 6680 City Hall. Anaheim.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION - PROPOSED MOTEL-HOTEL ROOM TAX: Mr. Murdoch briefly reviewed the history preceding the currently proposed Ordinance, that as result from requests from interested parties, property owners and Visitors and Convention Bureau, a survey was made to determine the feasibility of establishing auditorium facilities for civic and convention activities in the City of Anaheim, and if feasibility was shown, to point out what should be included in a convention auditorium type facility, such as cost features, preferred location, type of activities which should be included. Said report was submitted in January 1962, by the Stanford Research Institute. Following submission and acceptance by the City Council of the Stanford Research Institute report, the City Council appointed a Steering Committee to determine what ways and means should be followed to finance the facility as recommended. The Committee explored various means of financing; the extent of the facility immediately and in the ultimate plan, precise location, and the possibility of staging the development of this facility. The report of the Steering Committee was submitted to the City Council March 7, 1963 (conclusions and recommendations of said report were read) . Mr. Geisler read in full proposed Ordinance establishing four per cent motel-hotel business license tax. The Mayor invited public discussion. Mr. Randolph Custer, Sahara Motel, 845 South Beach Boulevard, advised that he favored the convention facility, however being in a fringe area and approximately five miles from the center of the convention activities, and being adjacent to the City of Buena Park, in his opinion, the four per cent room tax would place him at a competitive disadvantage, with the nearby motels, and could affect the resale and value of his property. As the advantages would be less to those motels in the fringe area, he felt it would be more equitable to limit the four per cent tax to a three or three and one-half mile radius of the Disneyland area, and scale down the percentage of tax to the fringe areas. Councilman Chandler was of the oplnlon that the same tax would necessarily have to be applied to everyone, and that Mr. Custer's suggestion could not be legally accomplished. He asked Mr. Custer if his protest to the proposed Ordinance stood if it meant eliminating the possibility of acquiring the Convention facility. ~~"__""'_'_"""".',~",~~,_"",:'->I;:.wj'~:"_;;;"~""","..~~ 6687 City Hall. Anaheim_ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 30. 1963. 3:00 P.M. Mr. Custer replied he would be opposed to the tax; further9 in his opinion9 the convention center should encompass a broader area, perhaps the entire Orange County. Mr. Murdoch advised that the committee9 in making their recommen- dations, seriously considered this type of a situation, but since the business license must be levied equally to all like businesses, regardless of location, size,. or extent, the-re was no alternative. One other option considered was to levy a flat fee per room, rather than a percentage; however, it was the feeling of the committee that the percentage basis would be the basis most equitable. Mr. Ben Rochelle, Americana Motel, on Beach Boulevard, across from the Buena Park City Limits, explained the occupancy ratio of the motels in the Disneyland area as compared to their area. He advised that there were, at present, approximately 700 motel rooms north of Lincoln Avenue in the City of Buena Park, and anticipated advertisement of these approximate 700 rooms will note, "no room tax". Although he favored the convention center, bringing in the Anaheim area as many people as possible, he felt that there was an inequity in paying the same amount, without receiving the same amount of benefits as those closer to the convention area. Mr. Francis Ricker, of the T.V. Motel (South Los Angeles Street), addressed the Council advising that they operate a motel and also rent apartments, and specialize in renting to families; that both operations are recorded in one set of books. The proposed tax would require two sets of books, one for the operation of the apartments, and one for the operation of the motel. He further advised that in his opinion, the Visitors and Conven- tion Bureau did not truly represent the motels in the City, and doubted that the convention center would benefit them, as most of their rooms are rented at a lower rate. Mrs. Mattie Eckridge, Manager of the Silver Moon Motel, 212 South Beach Boulevard, stated that the owner of the motel had instructed her to advise the Council of his opposition to the proposed four per cent room tax. She quoted figures illustrating that they are now operating the motel at a gross loss, compared to six years ago. She further advised that if the present trend continues, in their opinion the proposed tax would spell disaster to the outlying motels. Because of possible repetition of evidence, Mayor Coons asked how many present were in opposition to the measure, and how many present were in favor of the proposed Ordinance. It appeared that twelve persons were in opposition and seven favored the proposed Ordinance. Mr. H. R. Harrison, Attorney for the Disneyland Hotel, advised that he had just received a copy of the proposed Ordinance, and had not had an opportunity to study it, nor have they had an opportunity to study the report of the committee. For this reason, he requested additional time be given to completely study the proposed Ordinance. He stated in quickly reading the Ordinance, he noted no provision for the establishment of a specific fund, nor the disposition of the fund after the completion of the convention hall; further, additional study is needed to determine how much of other businesses in the community directly benefit by virtue of the fact that this convention hall has been billed, and to determine if other businesses benefiting are bearing their fair share of costs. Mr. Marshall Garrett, of the Kona Kai Motel, addressed the Council favoring the building of a convention hall and the adoption of the proposed Ordinance. He advised that the proposed tax has been levied by many cities, and referred to the convention facilities in Atlantic City and Long ~each, and the many thousands of people attracted to these cities as a result. He reported on the coming summer program of the Visitors and Convention Bureau regarding the reservation referral system. He further stated that in his opinion, with a convention hall, conventions will book as close to the facility as possible, and normal traffic will be going to the outlying motels. 6688 City Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES - April 30_ 1963. 3:00 P.M. Mr. Bernie Haering, representing the Charter House, advised that he had been requested to also represent the Saga Motel, stated that both of them are unanimously in favor of the proposed tax, and feel the suggested convention hall will be of great benefit to all of us. Mr. Nathan, Roadside Rest Motel, 801 North Loara Street, felt the question was not whether we need the convention hall or not; that the issue is how we are going to raise the money to build it. Because of the definite summer and winter business, he suggested a compromise, that the tax be levied during the months of June, July, August and September, and omitted from the remaining eight months of the year. Mr. Arthur Harmon, Kettle Motel, 1760 West Lincoln Avenue, addressed the Council in favor of the convention hall. He related his experience with conventions, and advised that they reflected well in the business. He further advised that it is his understanding that the Visitors and Convention Bureau have lost many conventions because of insufficient facilities, and felt confident if these facilities were available, the larger conventions will come to Anaheim; further, the four per cent is not paid by the motel, but is paid by the guest. In answer to Councilman Chandler9s question, concerning levying a tax on a portion of the year, Mr. Geisler advised that this point would require additional checking. Mrs. Monica Lombardo, of the Royal Palm Motel, addressed the Council favoring the proposed convention hall and the proposed room tax. Mr. Ricker, of the T.V. Motel, suggested the City or Chamber of Commerce establish a reservation referral service, charging a fee for referrals, and further suggested the City establish a charge on the additional motel rooms and apartments being built. Mayor Coons advised that it was doubtful that the City would want to be involved with a reservations service, and to levy a charge on additional motels or apartments would, in his opinion, be discriminatory. A gentleman from the audience asked about the apartment houses that were competing with motels by renting by the week. Mr. Geisler read from the Code the definition concerning motels- hotels, and advised the gentleman that if an apartment house was used for transient rentals, the entire amount would be taxed as a motel. Mayor Coons thanked those present, and advised that the matter would be continued one week (May 7, 1963, 3:00 P.M.). RECESS: Councilman Chandler moved to recess to 7:30 P.M. Councilman Krein seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. AFTER RECESS: Mayor Coons called the meeting to order. PRESENT: ABSENT: COUNCILMEN: COUNCILMEN: Chandler, Schutte, Krein and Coons. Dutton. FLAG SALUTE: Mayor Coons led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 378: Submitted by Rollo W. and Blanche McClellan, Owners, Vesper B. White, Agent, requesting permission to construct a church, permit an existing house to be moved to the rear portion of property located at 1759 Orange Avenue. The City Planning Commission denied said conditional use permit. PublIC hearing was held April 9, 1963, at which time said hearing was closed and action deferred for the submission of additional plans and clarification as to possible lot split. ~'~~~.'-",;<,~-"'""'"",IIIlI.'N:"'h"\I:I.II_',-_,-",,~,._-- .:....

White, were reviewed by the Council together with recommendations of the City Pl~nning Dep~rt- mente Discussion was held by the City Council, and it w~s felt that said revised plans could further be improved, as the architecture indicated was not residential in character. Mr. Geisler suggested a condition allowing the residence to be used in conjunction with the church use, rather than allowing a lot split on the property, under subject application. Mr. Kohne addressed the Council advising that Mr. Knisely, Attorney representing the applicants, was out of town, and requested, if any further information was required, that said matter be continued to allow Mr. Knisely to appear. Councilman Chandler moved that action on Conditional Use Permit No. 378 be again continued to May 28, 1963, 7:00 P.M., to allow for the presentation of elevation plans residential in char~cter, compatible with the area, and for Mr. Knisely to meet with the City Attorney regarding the indicated lot split on the property. Councilman Krein seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 379: Submitted by Chip Chasin, Owner; Newell Little, Agent, requesting permission to construct a service station on property located on the east side of Beach Boulevard, approxi- mately 1,240 feet south of Orange Avenue. The City Planning Commission pursuant to their Resolution No. 729, Series 1962-63, denied said conditional use permit. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by Newell Little, Vice President, Economic Services, Incorporated, dba Walker Oil Company, and public hearing scheduled this date. Mr. Martin Kreidt noted the location of the property, and further noted that the map did not indicate a street to the North of subject property (Stonybrook Drive); that said extension of Stonybrook Drive was a requirement to the R-3 property to the East. He called attention to the development and zoning in the immediate area. He further advised that the petition was first heard March 4, 1963, and continued to April 19 1963, because of the absence of the petitioner. Mr. Kreidt read City Planning Commission minutes of the April 1st meeting, indicating the problem was the probable development of the easterly approximate eighty feet of subject property. For this reason, the Planning Commission continued said hearing, to May 14, 1963, for submission of revised plans indicating development of the easterly portion of the property. Mr. Kreidt further advised that Mr. Little appeared before the City Planning Commission April 15, 1963, advising that he had no plans for the development of the rear portion of the property, and would not have on the May 14 date; and requested a decision of the Commission. On the advise of counsel, approval could not be rendered until the date of the continued Public Hearing (May 14, 1963); as result, action of the City Planning Commission was to deny said application. Mro Kreidt came forward to the Council Table and explained plans of development as expressed to him by the applicant. The Mayor asked if the applicant wished to address the Council. Mr. Little addressed the Council advising that the issue seemed to be the development of the rear 50 feet by 110 feet; that he had agreed to either blacktop the area, or stipulate to the use of the entire parcel for the service station. He stated that they did not have any plans; that they were not developers, that they built and operated service stations only, and because of the size and shape of the parcel, in his opinion, the development as shown on the plans submitted would be the best utilization of the lot.

Councilman Chandler asked the applicant why he requested action by the Planning Commission prior to the continued public hearing date. Mr. Little replied that they had no plans for the rear portion of the property, and could not get a lessee in the six week period of time, and because of the time already lost, were anxious to proceed with the project. Councilman Chandler referred to a policy whereby planning actions coming to the City Council by default were returned to the Planning Commis- sion for recommendation. ~ Mr. Kreidt called attention to Findings Nos. 5 and 6 of the City Planning Commission resolution of denial. Councilman Chandler was of the opinion that the Planning Commis- sion had not actually made a determination; that under the circumstances, they took the only action that they could, and had the hearing been held May l4, 1963, it might have resulted in approval by the Planning Commission. Mr. Little advised that if he had any idea that they would sell or lease the rear portion of the property, he would be happy to have plans drawn, but that they did not have any plans for the rear portion of the property at all. The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council, there being no response, declared the hearing closed. RESOLUTION NO. 63R-350: Councilman Schutte offered Resolution No. 63R-350 for adoption~ granting Conditional Use Permit No. 379, subject to the following conditions: 1.

DYKE WATER COMPANY - ACQUISITION OF FACILITIES: Mr. Geisler reported on the status of the Dyke Water Company facility purchase, advising that the Public Utilities Commission has rendered a temporary order in connection with the Dyke Water Company, and the order is such that it restricts the City of Anaheim from completing the purchase pending further hearings. Discussion was held by the City Council, City Manager, and City Attorney; at the conclusion thereof, it was moved by Councilman Chandler, seconded by Councilman Krein, that the City Attorney be authorized __ to prepare necessary briefs and file necessary action in the State Supreme Court concerning the City of Anaheim vs. Dyke Water Company, and that necessary funds for said action be approved. MOTION CARRIED. It was further determined that continued efforts be made to convince the Public Utilities Commission that there is a much greater public interest involved here in the water conservation field from what has been presently recognized, as this involves the entire North Orange County basin, which is a vital concern to everyone in Orange County.

PROPOSED MOTEL-HOTEL ROOM TAX: Mayor Coons briefly reviewed the discussion held at the City Council meeting of April 30, 1963, regarding the proposed Ordinance establishing a motel-hotel business license room occupancy tax of four per cent, and advised that suggestions offered at said meeting have been considered and fully discussed by the City Council, City Manager and City Attorney. Regarding the suggestion that such a tax be levied only during the three or four months of the tourist season, it was determined that a severe administrative problem on the Department of Finance would be created. The Mayor further reported that, in reference to the other suggestion that levying the tax to those motels in the Disneyland area only, arbitrary boundaries would necessarily be created, thereby causing probable objections from those businesses on the fringe of established boundaries. After con- sidering all arguments presented, the City Council felt that this room occupancy business license tax seemed to be the standard means by which to obtain monies for the construction of a multi-purpose convention, exhibit- type facility, such as the one proposed, and would be the best fair-share method of collecting said funds from that segment of the economy.
