(Continued)
~ Mr. Warren Finley, 1010 North Main Street, Santa Ana, attorney for the
, petitioners, reviewed for the Commission the basic'reasons for request-
'j ing~reclassification of subject pro~erty from its present use as a motel to an apartment
I development, thzt carports were being constructed, and that trash storage areas would be
f. provided in compliance with all Code requirementso
~ Commfssioner Chavos then stated that it would be setting a precedent which would allow other
motel operators to petition for similar uses for their facilities, that the R-3 Zone
etandards were not met by subject petition because it did not front on a dedicated street,
even though the minimum space requiiement of 700 square feet per dwelling was met, tha•t the
Iiving environment would be undesirable if ch3,ldren were to reside in the existing structure,
since the sale of liquor was pernitted in clase proximity of subject property.
Further discussion by the Commission noted that very few of the existing motels could qualif;
for multiple family zoning as required in the R-3 section of the Gode, that each request
should be considered on its own merits, that the structure was alraady in existenc2, that
there was a possibility that the petitioners were attempting t~ evade the room tax imposed
by the City on motels by petitioning for a reclassification, that PRD standards could not
be imposed on the proposed reclassification, because these standards had not been adopted.
by the Commission, and that two-story constructior. existed within 150 feet of residential
agricultural zoned propertyo
Mr. Robert Gillman, one of the petitioners, stated that although there were no children
residing in the development presently, he could not promise that children would not resibe
there, that lessees of the apartments were carefully screened, and that since their lessees
would be residents for a year or more, relief from the room tax was one of the factors, as
well as their desire to obtain a business license, in requesting the proposed reclassification.
Mr. David Hook, another of the petitioners, appeared before the Commission and reviewed the
background of the original request for a motel, and further reviewed their basic reasons for
the proposed reclassification~
No one appeared in opposition to sub~ect petitionso
Ti~ I-IEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Pebley offered Rpsolution Noo 970, Series 1963-64, and maved for its passage
and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Camp, tn recommend to the Cit~! Council the Petition
for Reclassification No. 63-64-57 be approved based on the facts that subject property could
not be. governed by proposed PRD standards, that carports were being constructed in lieu of
garages, that the existing development met minimum living requirements of 7G~ square feet
per unit, and that it be required that the petit3oners submit to the City Ai;torney s office
a aocument which was an irrevocable agreement to permit ingress and egress from the Euclid
Street frontage to sub~ect property, said clocument to be submitted to the City Cour~cil for
approval and recordation. (See Resolution Booka)

submit similar petitions.
Commissioner Gauer concurred with Commission,Chavoso

Mr. Go Whitney Barton~ 900 Wilshire Bou:evard9 Los Angelesy California9 appeared before the

recreation development being proposed wouid be an attraction to the Disneyland area, that the
proposed development would offer entertainment to the residents of the areay that the Oriental
population in Los Angeles had generally accepted the proposed development~ that a number of

Mro Tom then stated that from his preliminary discussions on the proposed development, he
had gained the impression that the City would be in favor of the "Orient" theme type develop-
ment being proposedo
The Co~mnission noted that at the time the developers of the Disneyland facility proposed to
construct in the City of Anaheira9 plans provided for poiice and fire protection facilities,
since it was a private enterprise within an enclosed area, that subject development was of
a similar naturey and this should be a requirement if subject petition were approved.
Cormnissioner ~navos expressed the opinion that he could not base his decision on granting
or denying sub3ect petition unless more precise plans were submittede
Nse Barton, in response to Commission questioningY stated that the proposed development
would be a tourist attraction9 although more than 10~ of the property rrould be developed
for corimercial purposes, even though Disneyland proposed 90~ recreational and only 10~
carmnercial, that a shopping center similar to Chinatown in San Francisco would be considered
a tourist attraction9 and that a parking validation basis for entrance io the proposed develop-
ment would give the developers an opportuniiy ia control parking in the areae
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt asked the developer to clarify several items in the report
to the Commission~ namely, how many structures were proposed that were more than 35 feet in
heightq and how did the developers propose to physically separate the proposed development
fram the residential Fxoperty adjacent to ito
Mr, Harton stated that a landscaped berm would create a physical separation of the parking
area frora the developed residential area adjacent to subject property9 and that he was unable
to determine the nwnber of structures being proposed over 35 feet in height until more precise
plans wero approved by the Cityo
Mr, Ed Ettinger9 representing Disneyland9 appeared before the Commission and stated that his
only opposition ta the proposed development was that insufflcient information rras available
to make a comprehensive statementy that it was thei.r purpose to encourage the proposed type
of theme co~mnercial recreation~ since they felt it would enhance the area and contribute to
the Disneyland growth, and suggested that the Commission continue subject petition until the
proposed plans could be suhmitted to the in~terested geasons in the Disneyland areaa

to the C-1, NEIGHBORHOOD OOMMERCIAL, ZONE to establish a real estate office or beauty shop
in a proposed new structure on sub~ect propertyo
Mrs. Vivian Simmons9 the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and reviewed the proposed
development, noting that she owned the home adjoining subject property9 that a small coimner-
cial building was proposed, that the traffic on the street was so heavy that she would be
unable to develop sub~ect property for other than commercial use9 that if Brookhurst Street
were widened9 sub3ect property could not be developed for sin_1e family use, that she had
purchased sub~ect property in 1959, and knew that deed restrictions were imposed on sub3ect
property, that by developing sub~ect property as she proposed, this would eliminate an un-
sightly appearance, and that she proposed to utilize a portion of the commerci,al development
for a beauty shopo
The Commission noted that subject property was a recorded lot in a tract with plot plans of
development for the entire area~ that sub~ect property had been utilized as a sales office
for the developEr of the subdivision, and inquired why the ~etitioner was proposing an
encroachment of commercial zoning ir, a primarily single family tracto
Mrso Sirtmons stated that she f~lt by this time a small business9 as she was proposing, would
be more practical and compatible with the heavy traffic on Brookhurst Street, and she was
proposing a structure that would be compatible with the architecture of the tract, and that
the vacant property on the opposite side of Brookhurst Street was zoned for C-1 use.

Mre Cornelius Mayer, 2173 Victoria Avenue, appeared before the Commission in opposition to
subject petition, and stated his property was to the rear of sub~ect property diagonally,
that subject property was deed restricted, that it faced a dedicated street, that no hard-
ship to the owner was indicated in not developing subject property for single family use,
that subject property was bounded ~n the north, south and east by single family development,
and by vacant land across the street, that he presented a petition signed by thirty-five
persons living in the general area between Brookhurst and Garnet Street on Hiawatha and
Victoria Avenue, who opposed "spot zoning", and that by approving such a petition would set
a precedent for strip commercial zoning along Brookhurst Street.
Mrse Jacquelyn Zustrok, 2108 Hiawatha Avenue9 appeared before the Commission in opposition
to subject petition, and stated that subject property should not be developed as commercial
since it was surrounded on three sides by single family homes which were occupied by their
owners, with the exception of one, which had never remained vacant, that the noise from
street traffic had never been a problem to the homes9 and that granting subject petition
~ould set a precedent for ultimate development along arterial highways,
Mre Ken fitromquist, 2030 West Lincoln Avenue, appeared before the Commission and stated
tha± he was a real estate operator on the property across the street on Brookhurst, that
the character of the property was such that residential use cou2d not be made of it~ that
it would be a question of time before the entire block would be converted ~to commercial
use, and that the petitioner should not be penalized by her actions because of deed restric-
tions on subject property, which should not be a consideration of the Commission, since the
zoning problem was their prime concerno
Commissioner Camp left the Council Chamber at 5:30 p,me
The Commission continued discussion of the proposed development in conjunction with a study
that was requested of the Planning Department regarding development of residential property
along arterial streets and highways~ that although deed restrictions were a private matter
between property owners, it was the City's responsibility to protect property owners from
incompatible zoning adjacent to their residential properties, that sub3ect property was a
vacant lot, and that the proposed development was not in keeping with the existing develop-
ment in the area to the north, south and easto

Mro Don Johnston, 9776 Katella Avenue, appeared before the Commission and reviewed the
proposed development, and further noted that the proposed townhouse dsvelopment would create
an environmental living compatible with the areag that recreational facilities were being
proposed; that two-story construction was necessary for economic reasons; that ail structures
would be located away from existing structures on adjacent properties; that by the construc-
tion of a masonry wall adjacent to the Pacific Electric right-of-way~ would isolate the
development from said property, and would9 in turn, promote the health, safety and general
welfare; that two recreation areas were being provided on either side of the proposed street;
that subject property would provide adequate parking facili,.ies, and that if CCBR's were
needed in connection of development of subject property, these would be submitted to the
City Attorney's office for approvalo
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts inquired of the petitioner whether or not the proposed
unitc would be offered for sale9 or would be under one ownership; the agent replied it was
their intention to sell the individual unitsa
Mra Andrew Logan~ 3603 Savanna Drive9 appeared before the Commission and stated that he had
a petition signed by fifteen of the seventeen property owners who opposed sub~ect petition,
and that twelve of the property owners were present in the Council Chamber to verbally voice
their protest, if necessaryq and further stated that the area in which subject property was
located was one of the few remaining areas in which a rural atmosphere was being maintained
for the raising of horses and dogs9 that encroachment of apartments in a primarily rural
area would be undesirable and incompatible~ and that the proposal of 32 living units in
this area would tax the schoul facilities, as well as create a traffic problem on a dead-end
streeto
Mrse Glen Rogers, 3609 Savanna, appeared in opposition to subject petition and stated that
she and her husband had purchased the property9 intending to live in an area where they
would have more privacy and be able to raise a few animals for pets and for food; that to
propose the development of subject property for multiple family use would be depriving the
property owners of their rights in the use of their propertyg that the street was too narrow
for the increase of 32 or more additional carsg that more children would be brought into the
area, overcrowding the elementary schoolg and that the privately owned water company supply-
ing water to the residents of Savanna Street, would be inadequate to serve ali the multiple
family dwellings brought into the proposed developmenta
Mrsa Vivian Shields, 3640 Savanna, appeared in opposition to subject petition and stated that
she planned to request permission of the Commission to operate a dog and breeding kennel~ and
to propose apartments with the number of children wou2d be depriving her of the use of her

Mro Richard Tedrow, 3621 Savanna Drive, appeared in opposition to subject petition and
stated his property was directly across the street from subject property, that he had purchased
this property to keep horses, and to propose multiple family development in such close proximity~
to an area having animals would be incompatible and would deprive him of the use of his land
for his intended purpose, and tnat he urged the Commission to keep the area rural in appear-
ance for the benefit of people who were still desirous of having the rural appearance of
Savanna Drive, and that everything he had earned was invested in his property.
Mro Earle Brooks, one of the owners, stated that he had originally moved into the area for
the same purpose of raising horses, but that the number of children in the area made this
impractical because they were abusive to the anima'!so

N0. 63-64-60 and and stated that after considerable discussion with the owners of sub~ect

CQNL~ITIQNA~. USE the most practical for the layout of the land; that he would be willing to
PERMIT N0. 504 pay for the cost of extending sewerage and water facilities to the proposed
(Continued) development without any additional charge to the residents of the area, if
they wished to tie in with.these s~stems;that he had anticipated being served
by the water facilities in the area, but if this were not possible, he
would still be willing to have the water line extended from Knott Avenue to subject property{
and that the proposed development was designed to be attractive with the rural surroundings
of the areao
Mre Roberts explained for the petitioners that a planned i~nit development was not required
to file CCBR's since it would be under one ownership, but that if the proposed multiple
family units were to be sold to individuals, a tract map for the subdivision of air space
would be required if no CCBR's were submi~i.ade
1"~e Commission was of the opinion that the existing water facilities would be inadequate to
serve the subject property and tha adjacent properties in the event of a fire, and inquired
of the City Attorney's representative whether it would be permissible fo* the City to bring

Mro Roberts stated that it would be the City°s prerogative to extend any linzs over a public
right-of-way9 which Savanna Drive was., if a property owner was desirous of paying the consider-
able amount for said extensiono

The Commission in reviewing the plot plans noted the many questionable items of the proposed

Mre Robert MacMahon, attorney representing the Tille Fluegge estate, appearec3 before the

answer questions, and that the developer had submitted the proposed plans since the represent-
atives of the estate were financially unable to submit said planss that the parties concerned
had entered into an agreement to lease the property to the developer on a 55-year lease basis
as the heirs of the estate intended to keep their 3nterest in the property, and that he had
not reviewed the plans nr the findings of the Report to-the Commission as he felt this was
the prerogative of the developere
