COPIDITIONAL USE - CONTINfJED PU$LIC E~ARING. CALARK• CORPORATION~ 10502 West
PERMTT N0. 395 Katella Avenue, Anahelm, California, Owner; requesting permission
to CONSTRUCT A SINGLE FAMILY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT CONSISIING OF
FIVE (5) SINGIE FAMILY DWELLINGS on property described asa An
irregular L-shaped parcel of land having a frontage of 90 feet on the west side of
Western Avenue, approximately 13~ feet north of Stoneybrook Drive, said property
being 310 feet, plus or minus in depth, and als0 having a frontage of 49 feet on
the north side of Stoneybrook Drive, approximat~ly 285 feet west of Western Avenue.
Property presently classified R-A, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL, ZONE.
Subject petition was continued from the meeting of March 18 and April 1, 1963, to
provide the petitioner an op~o.tunity to con~act the abutting property owner to the
south and the Planning Dep~rtment in the preparation of revised plans.
Mro Harry Knisely, attorney for the petitioner appQared before the Commission and
stated that he had contacted the ad~oining property owner and had been advised that
he had no intention of selling the property, since it was purchased with the intent
of living with his family on the.property; tha~ it was proposed to keep sub~ect
property under one ownership, therefore no subdivision map was necessary, and that
no parcel could be sold hecause a private drive was proposed to the homes.
The Commission reviewed the reasons fox use of the 6,OOu square foot lot area in the
R-A, Residential Agricultural, Zone noting,that ttiis zone was a transitional zone
for cities who had not provided zoning for any otheF type of development.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts reviewed for the Cotnmission the back9round of
the discussion for the filing of a subdivisi,on map,.with.the City Attorney noting
that if sub~ect petition were approved without the~.fi~ing of a subidivision map,
this would constitute a violatiori of the State Subdiv3sion,Map Act since the
petitioner proposed five (5) homes on a parcel o~ lande
The Commission determined through questioning the Deputy City Attorney that the
requirement of a sub8ivision map being filed would reduce the number of dwelling
units because a 60 foot dedicated street would be required, that the proposed
development would abut onto an existing public street, and that the proposed pri-
vate street Nould amount to a common easement which would not be the stendard
required by the Cityo
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt noted for the Commission ~nat the proposed develop-
ment would have a twenty-five ~25) foot yard of paving, ~hat this type of development
would not be encouraging a proper living environment as presently existed to the south
and west of subject property, and that the density proposed would be considerably
higher than that presently existing on properties adJacent to sub~ect propertya
Mr. Knisely asked that the Commission take some action on sub~ect petition and
stated that if the development of subject property were in violation of the State
Subdivision Map Act, he would later file the map, since he did not want to be in
violation of the law.
Chairman Mungall inquired whether therf; was any additional oppos3tion to sub~ect
petition, and received no replye
TFiE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
The Commission discussed the compatibility of the proposed development noting
that it was iri excess of the requirement for apartment.se~tt~i3t ~rq,shap@sqf
the subject~property made:deyelppale~~,rath~x„~if£icu~t,::that the property~
owner of the parcel to the ~outh and east had not appeared in opposition to sub~ect
petition, and that the plans as presented would be an asset to the area, since the
proposed development would have a masonry wall on the north, south, and west property
lines.
Mr. Kreidt then noted for the Commission, that if the Commiasion w:shed to approve the ~
sub3ect petition, it would be required that the buildings be,set back and a x'eduCtion of
the rear yard area to 15 feet, this then would allaw for the development of a five (5)
foot strip of landscaping in the front yard area, and reduce the "all-paved" look pre-
sently being proposed.

purchased eub3ect property from the petitioner, that on hhaz~Ch 19, 1963 he had appeared
before the City Council requesting the issuance of an interim business license for
the sale of automobilos on the property, and that the on~y reason he was requesting
the reclassification was for the possible developmant at some future date for heavy
commercial use.
The Cammission discussed with the petitioner the proposed use of sub3ect property
noting that a small used car agency was being proposed, that sub3ect property was
considerably smaller than usual for the sale of and display of cars, that the
petitioner did not propose to overhaul:cars on the property, and that sub~ect prop-

The Commission continued discussion as to the size of sub3ect property, that the

eliminating the shortage of parking facilities, that the Department of Motor Vehicles

Maheim,, Califorqia, ~wner; LYNN E. THOMSEN,, 520 Dwyer Drive,
Anaheim, Celifornia, Agent; requesting permission to CONSTRUCT
A THREE (3) FAMILY DWELLIN~ UNT!' OF LESS THAN 2000 SQUARE FEET PEP. DYdELLIh'G UIdIT APID
CREATE A LOT OF LESS THAN 90 FEET IN WIDTH on property described ass An irregular
parcel of land having.a fiontage of 152 fQet on the south side of North Street and
a frontage of 145 feet on the west side of West Street, and further described as
1102 West North Street. Propexty presently classifded a3 R-0, One Family Suburban,
Zone.
Mr. Lynn Thomsen,t agent for the petitionez~ appeared before,the Commission and
briefly outlined what was being proposed for sub~ect property, and further stated that
the Planning Department had~informed him that the legal description submitted with the
petition was incorrect, whgreupon he had then mAasured'the_sub~e~t.property ,, ,
and verified that the dimensions stipulated by the Planning Department were correct,
that the tri~lex~: which he proposed would,~ie.impossible to construct because of the
change in lot size proposed for lot•split', and t~at,he. now proposed 3ust the lot
split, and inquired what the Commission's. feelings were relative to construction of
a duplex before he submitted revised plans for their consideration.
The Commission inquired of 2oning Coordinator Martin Kxeidt why the petitioner was
allowed to file a variance., that the property could.properly be split and rezoned
for R-1, Single Family Residential, Zonee
Mr. Kreidt advised the Coqunission #hat if the property had been reclassified to
single family residential zoning, the lot split would have been the likely thinq to
require a variance, but that this would not have.pe~mitted the construction of a tri-
plex whioh the petitioner proposedo ..
The Commission determined that the agent for the'petitioner had purchased sub~ect
property with the intent of building the proposed trip~.ex: in a zone which requires
10,000 square feet per lot, that the petitioner felt that since there were severai
homes on West Street with less than 2,000 square feet, and subJect property was
sufficiently large enough to divide the lot.
The Commission in general voiced their approval of a lot split, but were not in
favor of either a duplex or triplex.
Mr. Bernard We Jordon, 1132 Park Avenue, appeared before the Commission representing
twenty-five (25) persons present in the Council Chamber in opposition to sub~ect
petition, and stated homes in the vicinity of sub3ect property had been constructed
ranging in the $35,000 to $50,OOOclass, that the proposed development would be in
violation of the residential suburban zoning in that it would propose multiple
family development in an extremely law density residential area, that the'
proposed subdivision of sub3ect property would create two substandard lots, that he
was asking for a privilege not afforded the other property owners in close'proximity
;o sub~ect property, that the Planning Commission had recently recommerided denial for
a multiple family development in the.area of Westmont Street~ that the Commission should
consider the rights of property owners in the area wha had purchased their homes with
the understanding that the surrounding area in the vicinity of sub3ect property would
remain residential suburban zoning, that the petitioner had purchased sub~ect property
knowing the zoning restrictions, and that sub~ect petition should be denied on these
bases. Mr. R. Lo Ulrich, 730 North West Street appeared before the Gommission in
opposition to sub~ect petition, and stated that he lived two doors south of sub3ect
property, that he had a 113 foot frontage and 2/3 of an acre lot with a home of more
than 3,000 square feet, and ~hat the Commission shouid deny subJect petition and permit
the area in which sub~ect property is located to remain as it had been for the past
nine yearso
Further discussion was held with the petitioner relative to the lot split noting that
even though the frontage would be substandard the square footage of each lot would be
more than the minimum required for the present;zoning of sub~ect property, and further
determined,through Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts, that sub~ect petition could
be approved for the lot split only.

Mr. Ae L. Mahoney, 1123 West North Street, advised the Commission that although his
lot measured more than 1Q,000 square feet he hed only a sixty-two (62) foot frontage
on North Street, and that if the proposed lot &plit were approved it shouid be required
that the petitioner meet all of the othex R-0, ReSidential Suburban, Zone requirementse

Reverend St;anley Herber, representing the owneP appeared before the Commission and- -
reviewed for the Commission the location of sub~ect property together with the portion
of property requesting the waiver of the block wall, and further stated that the pro-
posed parking lot would be facing onto the 16~ foot right-of-way of the Anaheim Union
Water Company which separated sub~ect property and the garages of the apar'cments to
the northa
The Commission reviewed the plot plan together with the area map, and noted that the
irrigation ditch would eventually be turned back to the owner after the existing
orange groves were ~developel~with 'stru~tui'es; 'that' the petitioner a~a not
oppose the masonry wall at the time Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 218 was
approved, said wall being recommended by the Interdepartmental Committee, and that
if the masonry wall were waived it should be required that a chain link fence be
erected to prevent the children from crossing over the irrigation ditche
Reverend Herber informed the Commission that he was unaware of the requirement for
the entire length of the north property line at the time the previous petition had
been approved, that a chain link fence would be rather unsightly, and suggested per-
haps another type of fence.
Chairman Mungall inquired whether there was anyone in the Council Chamber oppoeing

The Commission discussed the possiblity that the northerly portion of sub3ect property

Mre William Silverman, 507 Westgate Drive9 rep~esenting the Rio Vista Homeowners
Association, appeared before the Commission in opposition to sub~ect petitions and
stated that he opposed the two story construction as well as the proposed apart-
ments, that the number of cars would overload ~khe streets, that the recent action
of the residents of Yorba Linda was indicative of what new residents of the City
thought of zoning development plans for the City that the City officials would
have to be responsible for their actions in later years ~f prospective residents
went elsewhere to reside, and that the Commission should deny sub3ect petitions and
follow the proposed General Plan which profected low density single family residen-
tial development for sub3ect propertya
Mro McGaughy, in rebuttal, stated that the proposed development was considered a
low-med3um density development and would be an asset to the areao
Commissioner Sides took issue with Mre Silverman°s remarks stating that he felt a
certain amount of animosity was in~ected against the zoning decisions rendered by
the Commission and the City Council, and that his opinions reflected his own and
were not representative of the East Anaheim residentse

Zaning G~ordinator A4artin Kreidt read a letter from the agent for the petitioner which
requested a two weeks continuance of sub~ect petitions.
Mr. LeRoy Rose, agent for the petitionex, appeared before the Coimnission and stated that the
report to the Commission indicated that it would require more than two weeks to submit plans
which would incorporate all the suggested changes, but that bir. Rose, being the architect,
could submit revised plans by April 19, 1963, and that if the financiers of sub3ect petitions
agreed, revised plans would be submitted.
Mrs. Edith Eton, 641 Bror.wyn Drive, appeared before the Commission representing seven (7)
persons in •L•he Council ~hamber in opposition to subject petitions, and stated that her
property abutted to the east of subject property, that the proposed development would be
incompatible to the single family development to the east and north of sub3ect property,
that two-story construction would be an invasian of the privacy of her home, that the
r.oises emanating from the proposed development would be detrimental to the health of the
single family residents, that the additional traffic would increase hazards to the children
using Orange Avenue, and that the proposed General Plan projected low density residential
development for subject property.
Mrs. Vescio, property owner on Hronwyn Drive, appeared before the Commission and stated that ~
the main oppositi:on was that homes would depreciate with two s•tory construction, where ~
people were constantly moving in and out, and that no comparison could be made where two-story ~
single family homeE were located, since the second story usually had bedrooms, whereas the ;
apartments would have a complete dwelling unit. ~
A number of the residents then reviewed the plot plans with the architect.
Mr. Knisley then statsd that property to the west of subfect property had been zoned for
neighborhood commercial uses and a school was to the south of subject property, and that
the proposed development would act as a buffer between the coimnercial and sing~e family
development to the east.
Mr. LeRoy Rose stated tt~at one of the reasons for asking for a continuance was so that plans
could reflect a sixty-four (64) foot street, instead of the proposed twenty-eight (26) foot
street, and that this street would give additional access to the residential development to
the ea'st of sub~ect property.

Chairman Mungall inquired if there was anyone present to represent the petitioner, and
received no reply.
Mr. R. V. Troge, 1220 Raleigh Street, appeared before the Commission in opposition to
subJect petition and stated that sometime ago subject property had bfen reclassified to
general commercial use, and up to the present time the only thing done to the property
was the removal of the swimming pool and the•relocation of en existing building to within
ten (10) feet of the alley, that hugh floodlights had been erected which would be detrimental
to the health of single family residents to the west of sub3ect property if they were not
slanted away from the residences.
THE HFARING WAS CiASID.
The Commission discussed the reason for requestinq C-3 zoning, when a conditional use permit
had been recently approved for the requested use, that by Iaw commercial floodlights had to
be slanted away from residential developments, that the alley might be used for a race track,
thus jeopardizinq the children in the residential area to the west, and discussed the re-
quiremer~t of a m~asonry wall to separate the alley from the corrnnercial used car lot, that
if a reclassification was granted, it should be for the requested use or any general commer-
cial uses.

Mr. Ken Himes, agent for the petitiuner appeared before the Cormnission, and reviewed for the
Cortmiission the proposed c~e:•sZopment, stating that the off ramp of the freeway prevented single
family development on subject property, that although a single family development existed to
the south of subject property, Meyer Street deadended approximately 150 feet from svbject
property, that the City of Or~nge would like commercial development similar to the cotrnnercial
development now existing in the area, that the Abbey adjacent to the north did not oppose
sub3ect petition, that the development.would complement the area, since residential development
would not be able to withstand the noises from off-ra~ freeway traffio, that a landscapa
architect planned to retain many of the plants and trees, that the air-conditioning units
rrould be below the roof in a suspended ceiling, that a great deal of interest had been shown~
and 50,~ of the proposed offices had been leased, and then presented a colored rendering for
the Cortanission's consideration.

proposed to be part of the file, the City Council required that a reduction be made to the
rendering so that it might becomg a permanent part of the file, and that the petitioner
proposed two access drives, one of which had only a 9 foot 6 inch clearance, which would be .
insufficient for fire.equipmeret clearance.

reviewed past action on the northerly portion of subject property, and noting that he had
acquired the southerly portion of subject property, and was presenting plans for develop-
ment of the entire parcel; and further stated that he had tried to contact the owner of
property to the north of subject property, but had been unsuccessful in interesting the
owner in development of his property, and that the agent for the petitioner did not plan
to sell the apartments, but would be kept under one ownership.
The Commission reviewed the plot p10n, noting that a twenty-five (25) foot drive was
proposed around the perimeter of sub3ect property, that two story construction was pro-
posed within '.50 feet of R-1, One Famil Residential, Zoned lots, that the City Council
had formerly suggested a sixty-four (64~ foot street between the property to the north
and subject prop~~rty, that the petitioner proposed box-like structures which would not
create a desirable living envoronment, that although +:-,a Co~mnission felt sub~ect property
was compatible for multiple family developmeht, the proposed plot plans were undesirable,
that twenty-seven (2'7) ~nits pe~ net residential acre was being proposed which ~ras twice
the density pro~ected on the preliminary General Plan, and that plans might be improved if
the recreation area were relocated toward the center of the proposed development.

The Commission continued discussion relative to requiring a sixty-four (64) foot street on
the northerly portion of sub~ect property, it suggested that the petitioner contact the
Planning Department relative to suggested changes which might be made, and to have the
designer of the plans present to incorporate these changes in the revised plans' that the ~
plans ae presented were not acceptable to~the Commission, although the use requested was
proper, that if the property rnmer to the north later appeared requesting a waiver of j
Code requirements, knowing he did not agree to develop concurrently with the petitioner, ~
hardship could not be claimed, and that the City Council's policy as to street development ~
would not permit half-streets.

spokesmen representing forty-five (45) persons present in the Council Chamber opposing
subject peti.tion, that the proposed development would increase property taxes for the existing

from seven (7) to ten (10) years, and had devoted many dollars and hours of hard work to

shadow of the two ~tory structures, that the property had remained undeveloped for seven (7)

$750,000, and the intrusion of a multii~le family development within the single family area
would decrease the property value.
