RESOLUTION NO. 70R- 283
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM DECLARING THE CITY COUNCIL'S INTENT
TO I'1AINTAIN THE PERALTA HILLS AND SANTA ANA
CANYON AREAS AS LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheim
considered a reclassification petition for C-l, General Commercial,
Zoning on property located in the Peralta Hills at a public hearing
on April 20, 1970, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission at said hearing
recommended disapproval of said reclassification of choice resi-
dential estate properties to the commercial zone; and
WHEREAS, annexation of the Peralta Hills and Santa Ana
Canyon )l..rea gave the City of Anaheim an opportunity to "get off
to a fresh start" in planning the development of this relatively
uninhabited and undeveloped area of Northern Orange County, thus
the opportunity is presented now to build instead of rebuild
and to plan rather than react; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, the Planning Commission,
and the City staff have devoted many hours at work sessions and
public hearings in developing a General Plan that would provide
a reasonable and lo~ical framework for guiding the development of
the Hill and Canyon Area and that until evidence is presented
that conditions and/or circumstances are such as to justify some
type of development other than what is presently projected on the
Plan, the current guidelines should be followed, and that since
adequate facilities have been planned for the Santa Ana Canyon
Area, any deviation from the Plan, unless justified by substanti-
ating evidence, would be detrimental to the area and to the
general planning program; and
WHEREAS, residents of the Peralta Hills and Santa Ana
Canyon Area were assured prior to their annexation to the City
of Anaheim, and have been reassured subsequent to annexation,
that this area of Anarwim 'I,,,ill be maintained as one of the finest
lOW-density, residential areas in the City, and it is the duty
of the City to retain the residential integrity of the Peralta
Hills and Santa Ana Canyon Area in accordance with the land use
policies established in the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, unless good planning practices are followed
in the initial development of the Hill and Canyon Area, the City
will find itself reacting once again, rather than establishing a
good planning framework; and
WHEPillAS, the City Council of the City of Anaheim desires
to support the policy of the City Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby reaffirms its previous
position regarding the planning principles established in the
Anaheim General Plan by restating as a matter of policy that the
Hill and Canyon Area should be retained for lOW-density residential
purposes and that this restatement of policy should serve notice
to any future developers of the Hill and Canyon Area as to what
may be expected of them when they propose development within the
area.
