Subject petitions were continued from the meeting of November 27, 1963, in order to allow
~r,~ petitioners sufficient time to discuss development plans for subject property with the
Planning Department and to readvertise subject petitions as being a proposed amendment to
the General Plano
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt advised the Commission that a letter from the agent for the
petitioners had been received in which a four-week continuance was requested to allow time
to submit revised development planso
Mro Clifford Rothrock, 2161 Spinnaker Street, appeared in opposition and stated that the
petitioners had been attempting to reclassify subject property since 1957 to multiple-family
zoning, that if the petitioners wished to have the Commission consider their petitions,they
should be considered as scheduled on the agenda, that two other persons were present in the
Council Chamber also opposing subject petitions, tha•t a petition signed by 35 property owners
was being submitted, who also opposed multiple-family development for subject property, that
'•.he Commission had previously stated that they were desirous of lirniting multiple-family
development to the north side of Orangewood Avenue, ar~~ that single-family development existed
to the west and south of sub3ect propertye
The Commission advised the opposit3on that no further notice would be given them if subject
petitions were continued by the Commission, and that if the Commission recommended denial of
subject petitions to the City Council without considering the proposed revised development
plans, in all liklihood the Council would refer subject petitions back to the Commission for
further considerationo
Mro Rothrock then asked whether it was the opposition's preprogative to request that tfie
continued hearing be considered at an evening session since it was difficult to appear at
an afternoon sessiono The Commission advised him that the continued hearing would be con-
sidered at an evening sessiona
Commissioner Gauer offered a motion to continue Petitions for Reclassification Noa 63-64-61 ~

VARIANCE NOe 1613 - requirements had been made since the ordinance limiting construction on
Con inu ~! his property to single-story apartments had been passed, and that the
garages would.encroach into the side yard area by two and one-half feet.
Mr, L. J. Downey, 1266 East Broadway, appeared in opposition to subject petition, and stated
that he resided directly across the street from sub~ect property; that property owners in the
area had been having a running battle with the petitioner for several years; that the request
for variance had no basis, because the pecitioner had created his own problem by previous
apartment construction; that •the ordinanc~~ was specific211y written to limit construction of
any future units on sub,ject property to s:ingle story; that the petitioner was being placed in
a_disadvantaqeous position by recent approval by the Commission and Council of apartments
which.had a detrimental effect upon the petitioner's property because it was being used for
the parking of automobiles, there being no room for the parking of cars on the street, and
the owners of the apartments charging a rental for garage space; that it was requested of the
Commission that they consider certain restrictions being applied to the development of subject
property, if Commission considered favorably development of the proposed apartments, this be-
ing the limiting of the number of structures on the lots; that a certain percentage of the
property be left as open space for yard purposes on the front facing onto Broadway; that
adequate.landscaping be installed; that the carports bE constructed along the north property
line with the cars havin9 access through a service alley; that subject property was directly
west of the Southern Baptist Church which had spent thousar.:s of dollars for construction
~f church facilities and had future plans for further expansiun of these church facilities;
that the architecture be compatible with, and not detrimental to~ the church facilities, and
this was one of the basic reasons for asking that the garages or carports be located at the
rear of the property; and that the Co~nission deny any relief from the ordinance which pro-
hibits two-story construction for subject propertya
In response to Commission questioning, Mre Downey stated that the units facing on i3roadway
were held to one story; that thirty units pr.esently existed on subject property; that the
additional eight units would create a high density for subject property, that this was a prime
concern of all the area residents in that the petitioner proposed overbuilding of his property;
that he did not personally oppose two-story apartments if they wex~e confined to the rear of
the property, and not adjacent to s3ngle-family development~ that the "Broadway Apartments"
were not an asset to the neighborhood, that the developer when applying to the City had stated
these would be "luxury-type" apartments and were to be held as an investment by the peti'tioner,
that upon completion of the construction of these apartments, they had been sold immediately;
that maintenance of the lendscaping for these apartments was not kept up, therefore, creating
a blight to the area; that all single family homes maintained their landscaping in the best
manner possfble; and that if the petition were approved9 a thorough inspection of the buildings
be made before final building inspection because the Council had expressed the thought that
the "Broadway Apaxtments" were substandarde
TFIE FiEARING WAS CLOSED,
The Commission discussed the proposed development and expressed the opinion that the existing
apartments on subject and abutting properties represented a high density of development; that
the petitioner•should conform with the required 25-foot space between buildings; that the
ordinance required single-story construction which should not be violated; that the petitioner
did not present adequate evidence which would indicate a ha~dship existed which deprived the
petitioner of his rights; that subject property had been limited to single-story construction
because of the opposition of the single-family homes adjacent to subject property;'that the
proposed developmeat would also consist of a substandard R-3 development; that if waiver of
the required single-story construction were grante~9, the City would be breaking the faith of
the citizens oi the homes adjacent to sub3ect property; that inadequate parking was being pro-
vided, and thus would compound a parking problem on Broadway, as well as Fahrion Pl~:e adjacent
to the churche
Commissioner Gauer offered Resolution Noe 997, Series 1963-64, and moved for its passage and
adoption, seconded by Commissioner Chavos, to deny Petition for Variance Noo 1613,"based on
the facts that the proposed development did not meet the Code, that inadequate parking was
being provided, that the petitioner prop>sed a higher density for the area than was' acceptable,
and that the petitioner did not submit evidence to substantiate his request for a varianceo

Mro Hugh Lacy, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Com~nission and stated that it ~
was proposed to rebuild the existing service station site with new facil''~ies, that the new !
building would upgrade the area, and in response ±o Commission question' ~, stated that
frontage on Brookhurst Street wou.ld be dedfcated to the City and at the iime Brookhurst Street
was improved with the street widening program, said dedication would then be completed by the
removal of the pumps and canopies and pipingo !
Zoning Coard3nator 61a;tin K~ridt advised the Comsnission that Condition Noo 3 should include
the legal agreement with the petitioner, subject to the City Attorney's approval, that the
encroachment be limited in time~ the responsibility for the removal o: the pumps, can,~pies,
piping, etco, and the liability for this, should be stipulated in said agreement and should
be recorded~ that Condition Noo 4 should be revised to state,"prior to issuance of a building
permit" rather than a"construction perrait", t~cause this would provide a better control on
developmento
The agent for the petitioner stated that their reason for requesting that the pumps be located
as proposed was that they would ]ike to have potential customers see the service station from
the street rather than having the setback as it was eventually being proposed for Brookhurst
Streete
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that the City Engineer had advised the
agent there was no definite date for development of Brookhurst Street for si:reet widening
purposes, that one pump island would be affected by the proposed encroachment, and that the
petitioner agreed to the payment for the removal of any facilities in conjunction with the
pump island at the time tFe street widening program took piacee

~ :~~ing Coordinator Martin Kreidt advised the Commission that the variance
or.iginally approved for subject property covered an overall development, that only one-half
had been completed, and since compliance with conditions stipulated a six month time limitation,
said variance could not be considered for development of subject property; therefore, the
peti~tioner was requested to file a conditional use permit as required for any property being
developed in the Disneyland areao
The petitioner stated that he was agreeable to construction of the masonry wall being required
for the south property line, and in response to Commission questioning stated that it was h;s
desire to construct a masonry wall on the east property line, if this met with the approval of
the Commission and the adjoining property owners, and that he could see no reason for any
opposition.because it would not jeopardize the property development to the easto
No one appeared in opposition to subject ~etitione

Mro Leonard Smith, agent for the petitionery appeared before the Commission and asked that
the Commission act separately on Reclassification Nos..63-64-62, 63•°64-42, and Variance Noa
1604a
Mro Smith further stated that a group of 63 propesty owners9 owning 39 separete parcels,
was proposing the property for redeve?opment ta its best and highest land use, that street
improvements9 dedications, street lights, etco9 would be paid as each parcel developed;
that the purpose of the proposed reclassification was for redevelopment of subject properties
by individual owners; that although subject properties had been used for residential agri~
cultural purposesq this use seemed +.o be deter3orating in the past few years; that the property
owners wished to establish a zoning that was uniform for the entire area as a redevelopment
pro,ject; that the development of these p-ropex•ties would be a form of urb~n renewal development
by individual property ownersy and that it was the petitioner°s desire that the Commission
consider subject petitfons favorably in order that they might be able to develop their prop-
erties in a uniform manner as each z•eceived proper financingo
Mro Smith then reviewed the Report to the Commission regarding the reclassification of the
property, commenting that the property owners felt that not all of them were in a position
to develop the property as one complete development; that the conditions should be imposed
at the time each parcel developed, together with street plans for each project; that the
City was presently planning to 2ower Webster Avenue from its original height, from Orange to
Ball Road; that the street lighting was an assessment which would not be developed for several
years; that there was no reason for buiiding plar.~ being submitted at this time since the R-3,
Multiple-Family Residential,Zone explicity stipulated the type of development v~hich could be
proposed for said zone; that the only thing being asked was permission to have the properLy
reclassified so that redevelopment could be started on individual parcels; that the depth of
the parcel made it impractical to use it for other than the proposed development since most
parcels were three-quarters of an acre in size, and that the properties could be developed
for either apartment or sin~le-familyo
I'he Commission expressed the desire l:o have a~~pi.lot pian"ior deveioprnenl: of ali properties
rather than approving a blanket R-3 Zone for subject propertiese
Zoning Coordinator A7artin Kreidt advised the Commission that single-story development would
be required for the rear portions of the properties involved since they abutted single-family
residential development, that two-story could be proposed for the Webster Avenue frontage,
and that the Commission should be considering Reclassification Noo 63-64-62 at the Public
Hearing, since Petitions for Reclassification Noo 63-E4-42 and Vari3r.ce Noe 1604 wer~ only
referred back to the Commission to be considered as part of the subjact propertyo
The Commission exprassed concei•n that the narrowy deep lots being proposed for multiple-
f2mily use Wo:,ld not be sufficiently large to permit development of each parcel in a piece-
meal iashion without development plans being subm3.tted for the Commission's consideration,

RECLASSIFICATION - that the Ccmtni.ssion might find themselves in a position of sacrificing
NO< 63-64-62 Code requirements by creating a high density development for each parcelo
( d
Continue
Mro Smith stated that if development occurred on individual parcels, it !
would be the Commission's prerogative to consider any deviation from the
R-3 Code requirements through the filing of a variance, since the zoning Code could not be ~
applied to all parcels, and a variance might be needed to develop parcels, and that the Com-
mission should not be concerned with not having development plans for individual parcels if
the Commission considers subje~t properties suitable for multiple-family development cn
Webster Avenue and neighborhood commercial development on the Ball Road frontage, and Lhat '~
a number of the property owners were present in the Council Chambers to support subject
petitione ,
Mrso Wo K, Wendell, °1~ Texella Court, appeared in opposition to subject petition, stating ;
that the need for apartments was not apparent in Anaheim since the Orange County Report for ~
December indicated a 12-9/10~ ~acancy facioi•y that the proposed multiple-family development ~
would infiitrate a s-ng'e-family res'dential area with apartments; she agreed that the area ~
should be redeveloped, but fo.r other than multiple-family use; that subject properties could ~
be~developed for large estate-type homes; that residence of apartments was of short duration~ ;
and occur~nts lack pride in home ownership; that the privacy of the single~family residents j
to the east and west of subject properties would be invaded by noise in excess to that normal- ,
ly associated with single•-family subdivisions; that no recreational area was being considered j
if each parcel would be developed individually; that with the proposed large tract of land j
and the number of children which would result as development for multiple-family use was ;
projected would leave the children without adequate recreational facilities and would tend S
to have children play in the streets3 that the statement that the Commission should allow ?
the prop~i'~y owners to develop as they saw fit would create a definite problem; that multiple- i
family deve'lopment for subject properties would decrease the value of the residential areas
adjacent to subject properties; that lack of school facilities might result if multiple-family {
development were proposed; and that it was inconceivable to approve apar'tment buildings for ;
a half-mile distance on both sides of one streeto !
Mro Martin Moyle, 906 South Texella Court, appeared in opposition to subject petition9 and ~
stated he was not opposed to the property ~wners making a profit on their. property, but was ~
opposed to developers taking advantage of the home owners by proposing a piece~meal multiple- t
family develooment of the separate parcels9 that he was desirous of having his thirty-year ~~
investment on his property maintained; that he had purchased his property because it was ~
considered low density residential use; that he wouid not realize the potential of his invest-
ment if multiple-family were approved for subject properties; tha+, to approve multiple-family t
development in the center of an area primarily developed for single~-family use would not be ~
in keeping with past Commfssi.on action in which they were interested only in the best develop- ~
ment for the City as a wholeo ~
1
Mra Ralph Iiller, 455 West K Street, Brawley. appeared before the Commission and stated he 3
was the owner of the Speedee Mart at Ball Road and Roanne Street; stated he did not oppose ~
multiple family development, but felt that commeicial development should be in keeping with
the existing commercial dc~velopment on the Ball Road frontage; that setbacks should be in ,,
conformance with the existing setback for Ball Roada ~
1
Mie Smith, in rebuttal,•stated that,other property owners wanted to say something in their j
defense, that in reference to the Tiller property, the petitioners would comply with ordinance ;
requirements of the City for the setback area for the Ball Road frontage of Portion R being i
proposed for com~rercia:~ development; that the multi~le-family development of individual parcels f
would be undertaken with the entire area being taken into consideration} that some of these ~
parcels would be sold to developers for ultimate development on an individual basis; that few i
of the property owners proposed to de•relop their homes at the present time9 but were proposing ;
a uniform type of development for the area when the property owners felt it was necessaxy to j
develop their parcels for multiple-family use; that the Report to tne Coimnission indicated ~
there were adequate school facilities; that the Apartment Owners' Association stated that
Anaheim had only a 703% vacancy facto~:, that this meant apartments were needed in the City;
and that multiple-family construction was more economically feasible than tract development
for many properties in Anaheim, specifically deep-lot areaso
Mr. Homer Kirk, 918 South Webster Avenue, appeaxed before the Commtssion as one o£ ~he owners
of subject property~ and stated that he had purchased his prop?rty 15 years ago with the intent
of raising animals on the property;school facilities were incseased from 800 to 1,000 by efforts;
of the property owners af Webster Avenue; that the single-family residents now objectad to his
raising animals because of the ilies and odors eminating from the livestock; that only. one
residence was permitted on the property which was too large for such residerrt~al use; that he
could not sell his property except for multiple-family developmert; that estates would not be
practical for the area, and that he w~nted multiple-family zoning so that he would knov~ how
he could develop this property in the future, si~ce it was necess:ary he sell nis property since
he was unable to take care of both parcei~ of lando

RECLASSIFICATION - Mro James Moore, 2449 Ball Road, appeared before the Commission and
NOe..•63-64-62 stated he was the property owner of Lot Noe 1 of the tract in which
(Continued) subject properties were located, and stated he was always proud of his
home, and he kept up the land; that since the road was being widened,
the home was too close to the street for use as a residential home;
that since he paid taxes9 he did not desire to have other people tell him how to develop his
property; that he proposed to develop his property for commercial uses since it had a Ball
Road frontage; that he would provide adequate parking facilities and planned to develop the
property so that it would be compatible with the existing commercial development on Ball Roade
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED,
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt advised the Commission that for the record he wishe@ to
correct Page 13c, Item Iy indicating that it should be "park acreage requirements" rather
than just "park acreage"o
The Corrrcnission discussed the prop~sed rezoning of one~half mile of Webster Avenue frontage
of the d~ep lats, notir,g that su~jec± p*ogeriies were abutted to the east and west with
single-family development; that a single-family tract had been approved and was under con-
struction on the northerly portion of Webster Avenue,; that with all the multiple-family
development being proposed for Anaheim, no area was being left for the construction of
single~family homes; that some of the parcels could be combined for a single-family tract
similar to the one being constructed to the north so that single~-family characteristics might
be maintained £or the areay that for land use purposes it did not seem feasible the area
should be given a blanket approval for multipleWfam~.ly development since the characteristic
of the area was sing'le~family use3 that additional Flanning Studies should be projected by
the Planning Department to update Plann3ng Study 33~28-3y said study presenting possible
land development under the four a'lternatives submitted ia the Renort to the Commission;
that historically it was noted the area lacked park acreage requiremen~ts9 and proposing
multiple-family development would further compound the dire need for park facilities; that
because of the complexity of the proposed reclassification of the Webster Avenue frontage
from Orange Avenue to Ball Road, it mi9ht be in i:he interest of the Commission to consider
complete land study rather than denying the pstition and referrin9 it on to the Council;
that if this study were made, this might present a land develc~ment pattern for similar
deep lot areas in the City, a problem which affects many people; Li~Bt any decision made by
the Com~nission would have a great effeci upon the single-family ~esidential areas adjacent
to subject propertyy that the development of three parcels into a nine-lot subdivision was
some indication of how properties could be combined for single-family development; that
originally multiple•-family development had been proposed £oi the ~ ac+.c~srently being developed
for. single-~family use; that when the Planning Study had been appr~ved by both the Commission
and the Council, the people i~~ ti•~~ area stated they wanted their properties to remain in the
R-A Zone, because they wanted to live this way, and that multiple-famil.y develcpment had
then been denied by both the Commission and Council after adoption of Flanning Study 33-28-30
Mro Kreidt asked the Commission to give more specific details on what they desire as in€orma-
tion from the Planning Department relative to possible land uses under the four alternativeso
Commissioner Camp then stated he wanted to see a more complete picture o£ what might be
developed for the a::ea to creat~ a campatible living environment; that a developmeni plan
indiceting open areas comlainiru3 parcels for the various forms of low, low-medium, and medium
density; and that it was not the Commission's desire to grant or recommend approval of multi-~
ple-family development witi~out anpilot plan'~or precise plans of development f~r a combination
of parcelso
Mxe Smith then commented on the Commission's discussion re9arding joint ventures of parcels
of property stating that the property owners were more desirous of developins individually
rather than combinir.g their parcels; that this would would out more ea,~itably than as the
Gommission suggested; that the petitioners Kere wil2ir.g to comply with R-3 Code r~quirements
since this would give them an opportunity to sell or develop their properties; tnat regard-
Iess of the Planning Department making a study with ovezlays and pictures and maps of gossible
development of subject propertyy it would be difficult to get al: parcels to agre~+ to any
re-subdivision of the prorerty because of their financial statuso
Mro Kreidt stated there was a possibi.lity of developing subject propertiesfor duplex.~s by
proposing an addition to the exi~ting structureso
Mro Smith stated that some redevelopment mi~i~~t be with3n the very m~ar future, wher~as o':hers
would be a number of years before redeveiopmen~. wou~c~ occuro

Mr. Dale Fowler, 2461 Wsst Ba11 Road, owner of Lot ?~c: 2 of subject tract, appeared before

atated that sub~ect properties were being incorporated in the overall reclassification of

Mro Val Zajec, a~ent for tha petitioner, appeared befora the ~ommission and reviewed the
proposed development noting that for a numk~er of yeaxs.it was a hobby of the proposed owner
of subject property; that thE property owner would abide by all Code requ;rements as to sani-
tation, health and safety requirements; that the proposed use would not be comme*cfa13 that
no signs would be proposed for the property, that surplus dogs would be di§posed of through
newspaper advertisements only, that the owner was not in ihe business of selling dogs wholesale,
but was handling pure-bred dogs, that by developing sub,~ect property for the r~roposed use, the
ramoval of dead trees and unsightly landscaping would be accomplishedand the entire property
re-landscaped~ that dedication of the streets with curbs and gutters and sidewa].ks on the
Magnolia Avenue frrtntage woulc' improve a large parcel of land, and that more would be gained
by approving subject petition, rather than the inr,onvenience which might result if subject

CONDITIONAL USE - Mrso A, Ja Letellier, 2568 West Rome, appeared before the Commission
PE~lI7' NOe 521 in opposition to subject petition, and stated tha;, the so-called
(Continued) hobby being propo:>ed for subject property consisted of 20 or more dogs;
that the country area ~ound Santa Ana would be ideal :or the raising of
dogs, whereas subject property was located within an R-1 tract, and the
establishment of a dog kennel would disrupt the residential environment of the area; that
the runs and kennels for the dogs were baing proposed approximately 48 feet from her rear
property line, and that this proposed use would be detrimental to the health and welfare of
her home and all adjacent property ownerso The opposition then subm~tted a petition signed
by 58 property owners, opposing the proposed useo
co John Sheppard, 2564 West Rome, appeared in opposition to subject petition and stated
Zat regardless of the clear~liness being proposed by the petitioner, the noise from 20 dogs
yuld be considerably magnified to that already in the area, and that it would disrupt his
~eep since he worked on the afternoon shift and would have to sleep during the daytimeo
re Zajec, in rebuttal, stated that the kennels could be relocated, that the proposed use
as tt~e least objectionable for the property, and that thEre were other dogs in the neigh-
~rhood making similar noises, and the noise could not be a deciding factoro
ro Frank Stevens, 2578 W, Ro~se, appeared before the Commission in favor of subject petition,
~d stated that the noise from the proposed kennel would be no more than that presently exist-
ng; that properties fronting on Magnolia Avenue were impossible to dispose of for residential
ses, since he had been trying to sell his property for three months, and had received no
nterested inquiries because of the traffic problemso
ro Kenneth Gahnke9 2579 Wa Rome, appeared before the Commission and stated that he was one
f the original owners of the properties on Rome Avenue, and it was his desire that the neigh-
orhood remain as residential use; that although the petitioner stated the dog kennels would
e::ept in a most sanitary condition, it was hardly feasible to understand that odors would '
ot he emitted from any t:•~e of dcg, and that a property owner could not expect to sell his
roperty and ask for more than the value of the property since any home could be sold for a
easonable priceo
ro Oliver Peterson, tha proposed owner of the dog kennels, appeared before the Commis~ion
nd stated that the type of show dogs they proposed to have on subject property was, in the
trictest sense, kept as clean as possible, that odors would not be noticed because only
oncrete runs were proposed9 and these would be washed down daily, that smells would be
nly emitted from a gravE~l or dirt run, and that dogs barked only when they saw things;
herefore, a wall was k~eir.g proposed to keep the dogs from seeing the outside of the propertye
l-tE F~ARING WAS CLOSHDa
t was noted that the ordinance provided that only a maximum of three dogs could be kept in
n area predominately single-family in character, and that a kennel as proposed by the peti-
ioner wes not permissible in the surrounding zonee
'he Cortunission noted that if this were in an area predominately residential agricultural, the
ise would be permissibleo
:ommissioner Gauer offered Resolution l~o~ 1003, Series 1963-64, and moved for its passage and
doption, seconded by Comr,iissioner Sides, to deny Petition for Conditional Use Permit Noe 521,
ased on the fact that the proposed use would be incompatible to the single-family residential
nvironment surrounding subject property; that the granting of the conditional use permit
~ould be detrimental to the peace, health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the

Mro Frank Gonzales, representing the designers of the proposed development, appeared before
the Commission and reviewed the location of subject property and the proposed developmento
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt advised the Commission that the Interdepartmental Committee
had•discussed the.many drive openings being Nroposed directly from the proposed development
to Anaheim Road, and felt this was a serious traffic hazard, that it was the hope of the
Planning Department that the developers could meet with the Planning nepartment to discuss
the possible solution for adequate access drives in the form of a cul-de-sac, and by so doin«
reduce the square footage of blacktop being proposed for subject developmento
Mr. Gonzalgs then sta+,ed that because of the shape of the pazce~ of :ar.~', they felt this was
the best solution for. accessways, but if there was another solution9 he would be glad to
discuss the proposed development with the Planning Department9 and further asked whether it
was necessary to construct a 6-foot high masonry wall on the south property line, and was
advised this was a Council policy to require a masonry wall where property was adjacent to
a freeway, for aesthetic reasons9 as well as being a sound buffero
Mro Kre~dt further advised the Commission that the petitioners had submitted the entire legal
descripti.on for the parcel, and that if the Commission considered subject request favorably,
a four-we~~k continuance was requested by the Department to consult with the representative of

Mro Harvey Heirs,representing the petitioners, appeared before the Commission and reviewed
the action taken by the Commission, noting that Condition Noo 1 of Resolution No. 946~ Series
1963-64, required that dedication be made for the frontage of an existing service station;
that this had been explained at the hearing as being an impossible condition to meet, since
the service station property had been leased for 25 years in March of 1958; that the original
legal description incorporated this 150~foot by 150-foot parcel in the application, in error,
that he had explained this to the Right-of-Way Department at the time he received the bond
to guarantee street improvements for Harbor Boulevard and Manchester Avenue; that it had
never been the petitioners° intention to include the service station as part of the develop-
ment; that if dedication were required, it would cost the lessees of the property of the

that the lessees would not agree to that expenditure; that if^thi.s dedication were required,
it would mean the loss of a million dollar motel development for the petitioners, and that
he urgently requested that the Commission amend Resolution Noo 946 to delete the 150-foot by
150-foot service station property from said resolution, as well as deleting the referral of
the 25-foot radius return in Condition Noo la
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt read a report by the City Engineer relative to the street
dedication, noting that 43 feet would only ba needed along the service station site because
of the existing gas storage tanks` locationo
Mro Heirs then stated that when subject property was developed, the service station lessees
planned to continue their expansion program for additional pumps for which tanks were already
located, and that it would be impossible to obtain any agreement from tihe lessees for dedi-
cation of the streeta
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that ~t the time the petition had been
submitted, the legal description had the service station property on it; that the dedicatir~n
was necessary to provide for a full secondary highway when the City°s program for street
widening took place; that it was the Commission's prerogative to delete the ,•equirement of
the dedication, but this was not within the ~urisdiction of the Interdepartmer.tal Committee.
Discussion was held by the Commission on the requirement that a street widening program by
the City should not be required of a piece of land already developed and being used; that it
was something out of the control of the petitioner to give any dedication on property which
had been leased for 25 years; that the cost would be prohibitive to the property owners,
and the Commissfon was not in a position to recommend that the cost be borne by the City,
and inquired when the City proposed to initiate its street widening program for Manchester
Avenueo
Mra Daw stated that there was no schedule set up for the street widening, but when traffic
became too heavy to be handled by the existing street width, the City at that time might
widen the streeto _ , , ,
Commissia~er Camp offered Resolution Noa 1007y Series 1963-64, and moved for its passage and
adoption, seconded by Commissioner Sides to amend Condition Noo 1 of Resolution Noo 946,
Series 1963-64 to delete the requirement of a 25~-foot radius return~ and to substitute the

Zoning Caordinator Martin Kr2idt reviewed for the Commission the request of the Chamber of
Commerce to the City Council on December 17, 1963, regarding the changing of South Los
Angeles Street, noting that the State Division of Highways would not identify the street as
such because it added to the confusion of motorists thinking they had alrea~y arrived in
Los Angeles proper; that suggestions had been made to change the nsme to Anaheim Street or
Anaheim Boulevard, and that if said change were to take place, it might be necessary to change
Anaheim Road at the same time, so as not to create two streets with similer namese
During a discussion by the Commission relative to the street name changes, it was revealed

Commerce to the City Council on December 17, 1963, regarding the changing of South Los

such because it added to the confusion of motorists thinking they had already arrived in '
Los Angeles proper; that suggestions had been made to change the name to Anaheim Street or
Anaheim Boulevard, and that if said change were to take place, it might be necessar~ to change
Anaheim Road at the same time, so as not to create two streets with similar nameso
