RHCLASSIFICATION NO 64-65-6 throuah 4-65-12 (Continued)
No one appeared to represent the owners of subject properties.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petitionsa
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Discussion was held by the Commission and Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts relative to
the termination of the existing C-3 Zoning on property, deed restricted to service station
use only, and it was determined that any subsequent approved reclassification of property
would.super.sede a former action, but that any variance on the properties in question wh3ch
were no longer effective because of the change of use would have to be terminated by resolution.
Mr. Kreidt further reviewed for the Commission their field trip of property under considera-
tion in.Reclassification No. 64-65-5, noting that the use of the property was Heavy Industrial,
that at the time the property was reclassified to the C-1 Zone on the property to the north,
sub3ect property had also been considered, but thac the City Council in their rezoning the
property did not include the property in question, and that Variance Noo 853 still existing
on subject property was for an accordian studio no longer in existence, and Variance No.
1062-was to permit the use of a residence for general office use, both of which shot.~ld be
terminated if the reclassification of the property was recommended for approval.
The Commission directed the Planning Department to advise the contractor using the property
being considered under Reclassification Noe 64-65-8 that the property was being used in
violation of the zone in which it was classiFied and to terminate the use of-the property
for the.storage of trucks and materialso
The Commission further stated that the property known as 2566 West Lincoln Avenue presently
being used as a general office for the contractor and the R-A parcel immediately•adjacent
to the south were under one ownership~ that if the southerly portion were not sold with
the northerly portion, this would create a landlocked parcel, and that by rezoning of the
property under Reclassification Noo 64-65-8, this would alleviate a possible future•hard-
ship.

MINIMUM REQUIRED FRONT AND REAR YARDS on property described as: An irregularly shaped
parcel of land ~ith a frontage of 818 feet on the north side of Ball Road and a maximum
depth of approximately 1,290 feet, the eastern boundary of said property being approxi-
mately 338 feet west of the centerline of Beach Boulevard, and the total area of said

\
Mr. Paul Bonser, agent for the petitioner, appear~d before the Commission and siated he
was a~railable to answer any questions the Commission might haveo
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt, in reviewing the requested variance, stated the R-~
subdivision lots to the west of subject property had been developed in the County and
had a 20-foct front yard setback; that all lots being proposed, with the exception of
cul-de-sac lots, had a 20-foot front yard setback; anc~ that the cul-de-sac lots had 15
feeta
The Commission noted the interior lots of the tract could provide a 20-foot front yard
setback, but any other lots with a Ball Road frontage would require considerably more~
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission a final tract map had been filed on
Tentative Tract Noo 3823 with the City Engineer, and this map indicated all lots backed ,
up to Ball Road rather than fronting on Ball Roada .
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition~ ,
THE HEARING WAS CLOSEDa
Upon re~iewing the planssubmitted, the Commission indicated to the agent for the petitioner
it was their desire to have elevations before any decision could be c~ace, a~~d inquired
whether elevations could be obtained for consideration by the Commission later on in the
hearingo '
Mr, Bonser stated he would have these within an hour and requested that the Commission
defer their final action until these plans were submittedo
After an i~terim time of approximatelv one hour, the agent for the petitioner submitted
elevations for the Commission's consideratioR.
As the Commission reviewed the elevations, Mr. Kreidt advised them additional information
had been received from the Planning Department indicating the rear yard waiver was not
necessary because of the recent amendment of Section 18.240030(3) which permitted a rear
yard of less than 25 feet if an equal area other than the front yard was provided on the
lot. '
Upon being advised by the Commission that the waiver of the required rear yard was un-
necessary, the petitioner avithdrew his request for waiver of the minimum rear yardo
Commissioner Perry offered Resolution No. 1268, Series 1964-65, and moved for its passage
and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Gauer, to grant Petition for Variance Noo 1649,
based on the fact that the subdivisions to the west had been developed in the County with
20-foo.t front yard setbacks, and the request for the waiver of the front yard setback was
in order; further, that as a findingr the granting of the waiver of the required front
yard setback should not be considered as setting a precedent for future requests for waiver
of front yard setbackso (See Resolution Book.)

PERMIT N0. 593 Anaheim, California, Owners; LELAND Wa BARKBR, 2580 West Lincoln Avenue,
Anaheim, California, Agent; requesting permission to ESTABLISH A DOG
KENNEL, maintaining up to ten collie show dogs for hob!?y purposes, on
property described as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land with a frontage of 100 feet
on the west side of Dale Avenue and a depth of 244 feet, the northern boundary of said
property being approximately 476 feet south of the centerline of Crescent Aver•we, and fur-
ther described as 519 North Dale Avenuea Property pi~esently classified R-A, RESIDENTIAL
AGRICULiURAL, ZONEe
Mr, Leland W. Barker, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and reviewed
the proposed use of subject property, noting that Dro Herman Rannells, the new Director of
the County Hospital, had been a dog fancier and had shown collie dogs at dog shows; that
he proposed to maintain up to ten collie dogs, whereas the existing zone permitted only
three,_dogs on the premises; that the balance of the dogs were presently be boarded at a
dog kennel; and that no commercial purposes were intended by the proposed useo-
Mre Samuel W. Coffman, 511 North Dale Avenue, appeared before the Commission in opposition
to svb~ect petition, and read his letter of opposition at the meeting, which was made a `
par~ of the record of the petitiona i
;
Mr. Adolph Zamora, 523 North Dale Avenue, appeared before the Commission in opposition ;
to subject petition, stating the proposed dog kennel would be immediately ad~acent to two ~
of their bedxooms at the rear of their home, approximately 50 feet; that with both dogs i
and puppies, the kennel would create an unusual amount of noisej that sub~ect and abutting
properties although classified in the R-A Zone, were all considerably less than the minimum !
one acre sizej that the proposed use would be detr3mental to the peace, health, and safety
of the families in the neighborhood; and that no possible benefit could be derived from
permitting the proposed use in a residential area with single-family homes abutting sab~ect
property on the west and single-family homes across the street from subject propertye
Letters of opposition were read to the Commission from the Anaheim Christian Reform Church
and the City of Buena Park, opposing the proposed establishment of a dog kenne}. in a•resi-
dential areao
Dr. Herman Rannells, the proposed owner of the sub~ect property,appeared before the Commis-
sion and xeviewed his position in the County, further stating he had had this hobby since
1947 and had never had any opposition before; that although the coliie dogs were large,
they Were ~ery gentle; that the dogs barked only when they were alarmed; that if he were
aware his dogs were creating a nuisance to his neighbors, he would take steps to remedy
the situation~ that there was a dog to the rear of Mre Coffman's property which barked
constantly, and if he had that type of dog, he would feel obligated to remedy the situation;
that Mro Zamora had been open and frank in his discussion with himself and had visited the
kennel.;.that he felt sure his proposed dog kennel would not depreciate the land value around
his propertys and in response to Commission questioning, stated he had two to f~ive li~tters
a year from breeding the dogs which were sold as puppies, except a few might be kept beyond
the faur.,month age if these were presented as worthwhile dogs, and he charged a stud service
for breeding with his male dog~o
Mro Hexbert Junta, 425 North Dal.e Avenue, appeared before the Commission in opposition to
subjeCt petition, stating he was not against people having dogs as such, but since subject
property.was less than an acre,proposing to maintain up to ten dogs was a commercial use in
the R-A Zone; that this typQ of zoning might affect ad3acent properties if they desired to
request reclassification in the future; that he had sold his property at Stoneybrook and
Magnolia because of its close proximity to commercial zoningj and that a commercial enter-
prise on subject property would be detrimental to the adjacent property ownerso

CONDITIONAL USE - Mr. M, Bennett, 509 North Dale Avenue, appeared before the Commission
PERMIT NOe 3 and stated he was in opposition to the proposed dog kennel because the
(Continued properties and homes in the area were of high quality, and this would be
an incompatible use to the residential nature of the area>
A showing of hands indicated ten persons were present in the Council Chamber opposing
sub3ect petitiono
THE HEARING WAS CLOSEDo
Discussion•was heid by the Commission relative to requesting a variance or conditional us~
permit, and it was noted no hardship was indicated to propose a variance since~the proposed
owner of sub~ect property was purchasing in a residential area; that the proposed use would
be establishing a commercial use by the sale of dogs and offering stud services that the
proposed use would be incompatible to the residential environment in whic:~ it was locatedq
that althoug~ the Code stated a dog kennei was permfssible in the R-A Zone; thM.size of
subject and abutting properties was substand~rd, and, therefore, could not quailify as a
use in the R-A Zone; that the existing R-A lots came into the City frum th;.~ County, and if
dedication were required for ultimate street widening, additional footage would be rEmoved,
thus.ieducing the size of the R-A lotso
Commissioner.Perry offered Resolution Noo 1269, Series 1964-65, and moved for its passage
and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Rowland, to deny Petition for Conditional Use~Pcvmit
Noe 593, based on the fact thaL t;e proposed use on substandard R-A lots would be detrimental
and not in the best interest of the public health and general welfare of the citizens of the
City of Anaheims that the residential characteristics of the adjacent properties would make
a commercial use incompatibleo (See Resolution Booko)

petiticner, appeared before the Commission and stated he would be available to•answer
questionso
The Commission revlewed the plans submitted, together with the colored photographs sub-
mitted by the petitioner, and inquired of the agent for the petitioner what he proposed
to do with the southerly portion of subject property; the history of trampolines and their
safety factor; and whether the colored renderings submitted would be the method of develop-
ment of subject propertya
Mr. Huff replied it was hoped to expand the miniature golf course to add an additional 18
holes.on the southerly portion~ that he had had 9 to 18 trampolines adjacent to existing

CONDIIIQNAI.ktSE - to develop the front portion of subject property, and in the future
PERMILN~D. 5 8 develop the rear portiona
GENERAL.PLAN Dr. R> H, Hook, representing the C*race Baptist Church, appeared before
AN~NDMENT NO• 29 the Commission and stated he was not in opposition, but wished to
(Continued) clarify certain facts for his congregation; that he was concerned with
the possibility of alcoholic beverages being served on the property;
that he was glad to see some development wouid occur on the property
adjacent to theirs so that curbs, gutters, and sidewalks would be installed; that he was
desirous of learning what steps would be taken to reduce any noise factor whic~ might
occur during the time church services were held; that lighting facilities, if brightly
lighted, should also be considered; and whether a masonry wall was going 'co be proposed
to separate the two propertieso
Mr. Huff replied that by law alcoholic beverages could not be served within 300 feet of
church property; that the noise factor on the golf course would be minor because the
majority of the people using it would be there during the evening hours; that children
were never permitted unless accompanied by adults; that it had been a policy of their
company that no "rough-housing" was permitted, because there would be complete super-
vision, and u~disciplined people would be requested to leave; that the type of lights
they use was 500 mercury, vapor-type lights which could be reflected away from anyp~opertyf and
that the light factor would be six to eiaht lumens and would be unobjectionableo
Commissioner Camp noted the church structure existed at the rear portion of the property
fronting on La Palma Avenue, and' a masonry wall would not benefit the church by placing
it on the froqt portion of their property, but perhaps a physical separation of a ra.il
or chainlink fence might be more appropriate with adequate vineso
Dr. Hoo§ advised the Commis~ion the church was not in opposition; th at they hooed to utilize
the facilities for a youth recreation prog:am, but he felt a definite stigulation ~•hould
be made to prohibit trespassiag on the church prcperty by requiring some form of a fence.
THB HSARING {VAS Q.0.SHD.
Discussion was held by the Commission relative to requiring a physical barrier i~etween
the church and the p_oposed miniature golf course :~nd inquired whether the petitioner
wouid stipulate to a chainlink fence on the eastealy boundary of subject property.
The agent for the petitioner stated that since the church was located to the south and
R-3, Multiple-Family Residentiai, Zoniag was pending on the property to the south of sub-
ject prop?rty, perhaps a chainlink fence would n.~t be adequate; that he was not desirous
of having any barrier which might prohibit passers-by from seeing the proposed golf course.
The agent for the petitioner asked that the Commission consider delaying the street improve-
ments, but the Commission was of the opinion street improvements should be installed presently,
Office Bngineer Arthur Daw advised the petitioner a bond,to insure the street improvements
and sidewalks were installed,would cost approximately 1~% the cost of said improvements,
which in his case would be approximately $15,00.
Mr. Huff stated it was a policy of his company, if street improvements were necessary, to
install them, ,-ather than bond for them.
Commissioner Camp offered Resolution No. 1270, Series 1964-65, and moved for its passage
and adoption, seconded ty Commissioner Rowland, to grant Petition f~r Conditional Use Permit
No. 598, subject to the submissioa of any development plans for the southerly portion of

Mr. D. E. Jackson, leasing agent for the property, appeared before the Commission and
stated he was available to answer questions,
Mr. Li.la Atherton, 2721 North I~Iartman, Orange, owner of the beauty salon immediately
ad~acec-t to subject property, appeared before the Commission and presented pictures
indicating the parking deficiency on the commercial frontage of La Palma and Brookhurst
Street~.that.with her proposed expansion, there would be a possible 20 to 25 custo;ners
in the beauty shop at one time; that at the present t3me she had parking facilities for
17 automabiles; that there was rear entry or windows to the existing building which created
a problem of.unloading merchandise for the barber snop and liquor store; that the existing
area designated for parking was at one time quite large, but had gradually become smaller;
that the parking area she had formerly ussd was now converted into the Tastee Freez; that
moto::ists, in order to avoid the traffic at Brookhurst and La Palma, had been uaing the
parking area to by-pass the traffic lights; that subject property was near three schools,
and the children use the parking area as a shortcut to their homes, as well as stopping
by the Tastee Freez for congregating in the purchase of refreshments; that the proposed
use wauld.be detrimental to the existing businesses in the area since ft would bring
undesirable transients into the area; that a liquor store existed there now which had
off-sale..liqyor only; and it would always be possible that if the sale of food was not
successful, this would convert into an ordinary bare '
Mro George Comroe, 2303 West Rhodes Avenue, appeared before the Commission in opposition
to subject petition and submitted a petition signed by 30 property owners immediately
adjacent to the shopping area, also opposing the Hofbrau, and further corroborated Mrso
Atherton's statement a serious traffic probiem existed at that intersection; that the
proposed Hofbrau would further compound a serious traffic problem; that the Hofbrau and
the Tastee Freez were two incompatible uses because of the possible undesirable influence
on children assembling at this Tastee Freez; tha~ in his estimation, a Hofbrau was a con-
sideFably less desirable use in a commercial area than it would be detrimental to the
existing stores~ that many of the stores which had been in that location had fa3led, and
that the property owner must have felt a Hofbrau tivas a sure thing, rather than.•a higher
type use. .
Commissioner.Gauer expressed the opinion that the owner of the commerciai property had
compounded his own problem by selling or leasing to a Tastee Freez; that he was trying
to develop too many varities of uses for his commercial developments that this may be
one of the reasons why insufficient parking was available; and that other so-called
Hofbraus which the Commission had approved, had degenerated into just tavernso
Associate Planner Robert Mickelson advised the Commission that according to his calculations,
subject property required 26 parking spaces, whereas the plans indicated 27, and that at
the time.the Tastee Freez was approved, it was felt adequate parking w.as being providede
Further discussion by the Commission was centered around the problem of parking;•the
fact that this intersection was extremely busy with many traffic hazards, and that children
of all ages £rom the three schools cut across the commercial parking area as a shortcut
to and from school, as well as stopping at the Tastee Freezo .

Commissioner Chavos expressed concern that the area had a critical traffic probl'em, to- '
gether with the hazardous conditions presented to the children, and with additional traffic 1
at this intersection, the children might become jeopardized, and this should be taken into
consideration. ;
Commissioner Camp offered Resolution Noo 1272, Series 1964-65, and moved for ite-passage ~

adequate.parking; that the traffic problem at that intersection was acute, and the proposed ;

Anaheim, California, Oruners; LE ROY ROSE, 600 North Euclid Street,
Anaheim, California, Agent; requesting permission to ESTABLISH AN
80-UNIT..MOTEL on property described as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land with a
frontage of 200 feet on the east side of Brookhurst Street and a depth of 275 feet, the
southern.boundary of said property being approximately 752 feet north of the centerline
of Orange Avenuee Property presently classified C-1, NEIGFIDORHOOD COMMERCIAL, ZONEe
Mr. Kennath Cline, representing the agent for the petitioner, appeared before ti~e Commis-
sion and rsviewed the proposed development, noting it was the plan of the developers to
construct•the southerly half first; that the Report to the Commission indicated construction
should_be single-story within 150 feet of the single-family homes to the east, and the
property owners agreed to removal of the rear, two-story units in order to comply with
this requirement; and in response to Commission questioning, stated the southerly 50-foot
wide~undeveloped strip did not belong the petitioners, therefore, he could not answer-the
Commission's questions relative to development of that propertyo
The Commission expressed concern that the proposed parking areas were at a considerable
distance to the rear of most of the motel unitsf that this was not typical of motels, and
would.require the occupants of the motel to ca.rry their baggage approximately 1S0 to 200
feeta...
Mre flnthony Casteneta, 9255 Sunset Boulevard, representing the petitioners, stated he
would.try-to answe~ any Commission questions9 and stated if any typical motel would be
proposed too.close to R-1 and require single-story construction, this would be considerably
more expensive than they could afford; that presently they were operating a motel at 4335
Rosemead.3n Pico Rivera and they had one in Las Vegas where the parking was approximately
150 feet from the unitso
The Commission expressed concern this might develop in~o a substandard multiple-family
devel~opment rather than a motel; that parking ~hould conform to other motels in the area;
and that if, in facty this was a motel, it sho~id be developed as a motele
Mr. Casteneta stated the architect had drawn the best possible plan.which the petitioners
had requested since the cost of land had to be taken into consideration, and if single-
story.were proposed toward the rear, the property c ould not be developed to its highest
potential~ and tljen referred to The Executive Suites located on West Lincoln Avenue which
were two.-story constructi~n within 150 feet of the R-1 i:o the southo
The Commission stated the cost of the land could not be used as a basis for approving a
deviation from Code requirementse
T}!E HEARING WAS CLOSEDo
The Commission further stated that since the representative of the petitioners had brought
in Tha Executive Suites, it might be to his interest to note the Commission had denied the
original..petition and revised plans~ but they were subsequently approved by the City Council.
Further.discussion held by the Commiasion indicated it was their desire to see revised plans
which.would incorporate parking facilities in ciose proximity to ~~ach motel unit rather than
the distance.they presently existed, and that single-story construction be maintained within
150 feet of the R-1 homes to the easto
Commissioner.Gauer offered a motion to reopen the hearing and continue Petition f-or Condi-
tional.U.se..Permit No. 594 to the meeting of August 17, 1964, in order to allow the petitioners
sufficient time to submit revised plans indicating single-story construction within 150 feet

MINUTES,.GITY PLANNING COMMISSION, July 20, 1964 2216
RECLASSIFZCATION - Mro John Swint, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commi:ssion
NOe 64-65-4 and siated r:e would be available to answer questionso
VARIAPICE.NO~ 1 50 Upon reviewing the plans, the Commission inquired as to the possibi•lity
(Continued of removal of the existing home, the setback revised so that landscaping
could be put in, possibly cut off the corner of the structure,-whether
or not any objection would be made by the petitioner to landscaping be-
ing provided on the north between the two approaches, to which Mre Swint replied that the
existing dwelling would be removed; that he had not considered any revision to the building
since the structure to the south was directly on the property line, and the area was cor~tantly
in use.and would be for some time, and he would have to inquire of the property owner whether
or not additional landscaping could be placed between the two epproaches at the northe .
After consvlting with the petitioner, the agent for the petitioner stated it was proposed
to use the property for C-2 occupancy; that it was his desire to utilize the area between
the structuxe and the street for access to the southerly portion; that it was not nacessary
to have the requested reclassification except for possible future lease, and if M-1 was not
approVed.~.leasing opportunities might be restricted; and that he could constxuct these
buildings...wi,#hout landscaping under the existing zoneo
The Comnission advised the petitioner these structures could be built, but it was hardly
likely leasing would be effective without adequate landscapingo
The Comrtiission, upon reviewing the plans, noted adequate pa*:<ing was being provided in
accor.dance with Code requirements, but that the setbacks ar~d landscapings were inadequate,
although...the-lot size was unusuale
Mrso June McIntyre appeared before the Commission and stated she repxesented her mother,
Mrse Josie Malmstrom, 206 Thalia Street, across the street from subject property, who was
interested only in a proper development for subject property and wanted to be assured he.r
mothex•would.be protected in her investment; that the public weigh scales were constantly
being in use, and to her knowledge, no petition had ever been considered by the Commission
to permit the use of that property for the public weigh scales; that they were conducting
a business on the City streets because large trucks had L•o nark on the street, awaiting
their-tuxn.-at the scales; that the trucks were using subject property for parking purposes
when there was no other place to park; that if the petitioner were allowed to have an
entrance from Thalia Street, this might jeopardize the future development of her mother's
property .fox commercial purposes; that a modified cul-de-sac existed at the northerly end
of Thalia Street which would make turning a radius very tight if the two entranceways
were permitted to subject property; that if the petitioner were proposing a blank wa11
for a,warehouse structure, she would like to see the existing sidewalk remain with land-
scaping in the parkway between the sidewalk and.the curb; that she would object to any
form of noisy operation if this were industrial; that from plans she had seen~ a pa=king
problem might exist since the property to the south which housed the pubiic scales would
no longer have access to vacant land for parking purposes; that she would request that all
traffic be oriented to Manchester Aeenue rather than to the dead-end street on the east
boundary of sub~ect property; and the Commission should consider all aspects of the area,
not onlK.sub~ect property, so that any future development of the property easterly of
Thalia.Street might not be jeopardized by the proposed reclassification.
The Coamission advised Mrs. McIntyre that although Code requirements were specific relative
to providing adequate park~ng, it was not within the Commission's jurisdiction to enforce
parking ir. that area; that since her mother's property was not landlocked, the Commission
could see no reason for providing a secondary access to her property, bu•t there might be a
possibility of enlarging the existing cul-de-sac so that adequate turn-around radius could
be provided for industr.ial traffico
Discussion was then held between the Commission, the agent for tt~e petitioner, and the
agent, re.lative to the possibility of submission of revised plans to include more land-
scaping and additionai setback requirements; that the recommended Interdepartmental Com-
mittee.recommendation regarding street lighting and street planting fees was a standard
requirement in the M-1 Zone, or for any requested zone changeo
Mr. Heacock, the petitioner, then stated he felt it would hinder the entire pro3eat if~the
required.landscaping were placed directly west of the 60-foot building; that a direct
passageway was necessary through the northerly and southerly poriions of the property;~that
he was,.attempting to revitaiize a blighted area by improving it; that the home presently
existing on Thalia Street was out of place, taking into consideration the surrounding devel-
opment, and that in his estimation~ the plan presented was the most acceptable to to him
for possible developmento .

each.having a frontage of 275 feet on the south side of Orangewood Avenue and each extend-

Mr. Harry Knisely, attorney for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and reviewed
the basis for requestin5 a change in the existing development, noting that the tourist of
today, like the one of yesterday, now located at a central point and visited places of
interest from this central point; that the proposed development was a family-type develop-
ment;.that.no basic outside structural changes would be made; that it was proposed to con-
struct a permanent wall between the apartments and provide recreationaY facilities for the
visitors to the area; that the entire purpose o£ tho proposed use would be a full-time

inspection, the Commission did not see these facilities in one of the
GENERAL PLAN unitso
AMENDMENT NOa 28
(Continued) Mro Richard Guthrie, repre:~nting the developer, appeared before the
Commission and stated these facilities would be installed, but that
the plans did not indicate thiso •
The Commission reviewed the plans and continued discussion on the method of separating
some of. the units and further providing for adaquate sanitary facilitiesg that the prc;-
posed development would offer a fine atmosphere for vacationers, but it was not the
desire of the Commission to have these facilities used for an extensive length of time,
since these facilities would not be adequate to permit permanent living quarters, and
would not be in the best interest of the City of Anaheim; that if pragressive management
were utilized, this might present a very exemplary environment for future convention
attendance facilities, and as planners, no control would be permitted if the use was
allowed to deterioratea
Mr, Knisely stated the definition of a hotel in the Report to the Commission was some-
what ambiguous since it seemed people coul.d not use the rooms for more than seven days,
and wouid have to leave and asked that clarification be made of thiso
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts stated this could read "a seven day reni:al contract
period", and no stipulation as to the number of times the contract period could be reneweda
The Commission stated that upon viewing the present development as it was being constructed,
it did not present the best living environment for permanent use, and perhaps the proposed
use would be considerably better; that since the area had changed, with tne proposed con-
vention cente-, the City might need additfonal facilities to handle a large convention-
type impacto
Mr. Knisely then stated he had appeared many times before the Commission and had heard
the Commission indicate thtir feelings regarding construction of apartments in the Commer~
cial-Recreation Area; that the proposed use would be a good method of eliminating apart-
ments just southerly of the Commercial-Recreation Area, and further, in response to
Commission questioning, stated the hotel~motel operation would be on a lease basiso
Mro Joe Levesque, President of Southeast Mortgage Company, appeared before the Commission
and stated he was attempting to give what was best for the City; that he had made the
statement he would meet all City requirements, plus more, because this would be to his
benefit, as well as the City'so
Mro Knisely then stated that if the Commission desired, he would stipulate that if the
hotel~motel was not operated by a Triple A operator within a year, and did not m2et the
Commission's req~irements, it would revert back to its original requesto
The Commission felt this was not the approach they would care to use~ since it seemed more
desirahle that subject property be incorporated in the Commercial-Recreation Area, and,
therefvre, the proposed use would be more apropos than the existing usea
Mr. Knisely stated he would stipulate this in order to prove to the Commission what was
being proposed was being done in ail sincerety, and it was the intent of the petitioner
to more than cunform with the City's xequirements for hotels and motelso
Commissioner Camp expressed the view that the existing facilities in the Commercial-
Recreation Area were inadequate for large convention-type g~therings since the real estate
gro.up he was a member of had attempted a year ago to obtain convention facilities for
1,500 people and had been turned down, and it was hoped the convention center wauld not
be.open for just five months out of the year, if there were not adequate provisions for
hotel and motel facilities.
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt then reviewed the three exhibits proposing the amendment
to the General Plan~ noting that Exhibit "A" incorporated all of sub~ect property by the
extension of the Commercial-Recreation Area~ whereas the other two incorporated a portion
of subject.property and the frontage of Harbor Boulevard being proposed for partial profes-
sional use.
Mrs. Mossi, representing the Hacienda Motel at 2176 South Harbor Soulevard, appeared before ;
the Commission in opposition to subject petition, and inquired what would prevent other
apartments from converi:ing into motels in the immediate vicinity, similar to the Latin j
Quarters located easterly on Orangewood Avenue, since this was also at the southerly tip i
of the Commercial-Recreation Areae ~

CONDITIONAL USE -
PERMIT N0. 596
The Commission informed Mrs. Mossi that any request for conversi.on of
GENERAL PLAN existing apartments into a mo~tel facility would have to occur on a
AMENDMENT N0. 8 major street, and since Orangewood Avenue was considered a residential
(Continued street, this was hardly likeiy; that frontage would have to be either
on Harbor Boulevard or Katella Avenue to qualify for a major street.
Mr. Gregory Beck~ 2145 South Harbor Boulevard, appeared before the Commission and stated
he was in agreement with Mrs. Mossi's statement;that he would not oppose the hotel~motel,
but was concerned with the possibility of permitting kitchen facilities in the proposed
development which would indicate substandard apartments~ and would be rented as apartments
during the off-season~ that it has been his experience that many of the motels were elimi-
nating the kitchen facilities because the summer visitors were not interested in this type
of facility. •
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt advised the Commission that originally in the Report to
the Commission it had been recommended that subject petition should have been accompanied
by a reclassification to C-1 Zoning; that if the Commission considered the General Plan
Amendment favorably, the existing C-1 and R-3 Zones should be rezoned to R-A to conform
with.all the properties in the Commercial-Recreation Area which had to have their uses
established by the filing of a conditional use permite
The Commission asked clerification from Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts relative to
proposing a reclassification of subject property back to the R-A, Residential Agricultural,
2one~ since the proposed use was a lesser use.
Mr. Roberts stated it could be assumed that if a request for a higher zoning classification
was made, the Commission could reduce this for a lesser use,to possibly C-0, but sincethe R-A
Zone was not a development zone except in the Commercial-Recreation Area, and since.subject
petition was advertised only for the conditional use, it would have to be advertised for a
different zone change, and he did not suggest a recommendation of zone change to the City
Council without a public hearingo
The Commission then expressed the feeling that it might be wise to require initiation of
reclassification proceedings to the R-A Zone prior to final building inspection of subject
property.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSEDa

Considerable discussion was then held by the•Commission as to the proposed use, whether ;
upon conversion of the existing apartment units to motel and hotel units, this would meet i
sanitation and building requirements; the number of parking spaces needed under the pro•- ~
posed change; that some form of a statement should be made if subject petition were approved, ~
whether or not this might set a precedent; that the Commission should consider each individual~
petition on its own merits, and approve oniy those which would propose a conversion on a ;
major or commercial street, in conjunction with the Commercial-Recreation Area of the City; ;
the possibility of lengthy stays in the motels, utilizing them as permanent living quarters; ~
that if the Commission was not desirous of facing innumerable requests on a periodic basis
for conversion to motels and then back to apartments again, that the definitions as stated !
in the Report to the Commission should be set for public hear3ng, and after the City Attor- ;
ney°s nffice and the Planning Department met to arrive at a definition for an amendment to ~
the Ordinance regarding the definition of a multiple dwelling~ a hotel, and a tourist court, ~
this de`:inition would eliminate any requests for relief from the room tax which had occurred ~

that.it..should not be construed as setting a precedent for conversion of existing multiple-

Commissioner Camp offered a motion to direct the Commission Secretary to set for public
hearing after the City Attorney`s office and the Planning Department had formulated the
correct definitions for a multiple-family darelling in Section 180080300, for a hotel in
Section 18.08.400~ and for a tourist court in Section 18008.730. Commissioner Chavos

SECTION 18.62, - CONTI~IUED PUBLIC F~ARING. INITIATED BY THE ANAFIEIM CITY
ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE PIANNING COIWISSION, 204 East Lincoin Avenue, Anaheim,
California, proposing a Sign Qrdinance to the Anaheim
Municipal Code.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts presented to the Commission ali the revised changes
upon meetir.g with the various interest+ed organizations; such as the Realty Board, the
Chamber.of Commerce, the California Electric Sign Association, etc., noting changes had ~
been made to Section 18062o020(c) covering guide signs; Section 18062o030(f) covering ~
projecting signs, and (m) covering billboards; Section 18o62v070(a and b) covering number
and size of off-site signs and location of off-site signs; Section 18a62.075, which was ~
an addition~ namely, the temporary on-site "for sale" or "for lease" signs placed on ;
parcels of land of one acre or more; Section 18.62a080(b-3 and 5) covering guide signs ~
and'~or.sale" signs; Section 18~62.090(1) nusber of free-standing signs permitted~(4-f) ;
guide signs, (~t-9) "for sale" or "for lease" signs; Section 18.62.120, billboards estab- i,
lished by conditional use pe~it; Section 18o62a154 covering signs not designed to be ~
viewed from the street; Section 18,62.160 covering flashing signs; and Section 180620230
covering violations, penalties, and abatement as nuisance. ;
Mr. Roberts informed the Co~nission that in oddition to the changes made to the original
draft, he was going to distribute to the Commi.ssioners a copy of Outdoor Advertising Signs,
Billboards permitted in the Co~ercial Zoner ~axcept C-0.
In discussing the revolving signs, !lr= Roberis stated he had advised the Electric Sign ;
Association representatives of the changes made to the original draft, noting the number ;
of objections, and sighting the Anaheim Bortl as an example of the basis for the objection~ y
and in response to Co~ission questioning relative to the Anaheim Boxl, stated the only
rotating signs allotired are those Mith no artificial light at all on the rotating portion,
only those signs which have florescent Iights with a lower candlepower where the light would ~
shine on the billboard~ but not reflecting, and gave as an example the Fuller Paint Company i
and the Jolly Roger signs r+hich rere florescent lights placed internaily; that in his in-
terpretation of the rotating sign, the distance was indicated as a spherical distance, and i
requested that the Co~issioa give same indication of what they desired for this section of
the Codee
The Commission then complie~ented Rre Roberts for a fine presentation and efforts at draft- ~
ing the propoBed Sign Ordinance. ~
Nir. Walter Brooks, 2002 West 15th Street, Santa Ana, representing the California Electric i
Sign Association, appeared before the Co~issiort and also complimented the efforts on ;
Mra Roberts' part for comg>iling a compatible Sign Ordinance; that he had several suggested ~
changes, namely, to Section 18a62,08J in rhich it was felt the one-half of a square foot

for each lineal foot was too restrictive and recommended a two square foot per lineal foot
sign with a maximum of 250 square feet, whichever was less; Section 18a62o090(a-2) Height
of free-standfng signs, noting it was workable except that in open urban areas the height
limit limited by street width to centerline would cause some signs to obliterate others
and cause a situation of being unreasonable at reasonable distances due to height size and
copy.sizes that an 8-foot ground clearance was acceptable except ornamental pole covers
and decor items should be allowed below eight feet, and suggested the height not be limited
in commercial areas unless said commercial area directly abutted a xesidential zone~ in
which.case the maximum height of 25 feet apply if within a 75-foot radius from abutting
residential property line, and in the event there existed a residential structure within
the boundary of an existing commercial zone, then the commercial zoning provision should
prevail; Section 18062o090(a-3) Area of free-standing signs, was also felt to be too
restrictive and discriminatory9 primarily for small owners of commercial property which
Nere strategically located; valuable commercial property of their size would be somewhat
limited, and in accordance with the recomme»de•d one-half square foot per lineal foot and
the formula should be based on property front foot, which would be a more equitable manner,
and that the acreage formula was also too restrictive, cumbersome.and inequitableo The
reference to,wall signs in Section 18.620090, regarding four feet in height would be ap-
propriate in the new shopping centers since the setbacks in the street would limit the
copy contained therein too small to be readable, and suggested a four-foot height if
within the 50-foot set~ack from th~~ psoperty line, and increased by one foot for each
ten foot setback beyond the 50-foot property lineo
Section 18062o090(c) was then noted; that if the shopping center tenants could cooperate
by erecting one sign9 no objection would be made to that, but suggested this rule would
prohibit signs on the roofs of buildings two stories or more because of the 25~foot maxi-
mum height limitation9 and this should be further studied to permit relationship of height
above roof to building heighto
Section 18062o160(a and b) were then discussed, relative to flashing signs, suggesting
that if the residential structure were in an area zoned for residential purposes, the
flashing sign prohibition would be correct; it was further suggested that for sub-paragraph
(b), that flashing signs be permitted provided suc~~ flashing signs do not create a hazard
or interfere with traffic control devicese
Section 180620170, Rotating and Revolving Signs - Mro Brooks stated this medium of
advertising was the only manner in which some business locations, because of obscurity,
could properly be seen and identified, and to prohibit same, as this section did in com-
mercial zones, would discourage the business climate in Anaheim, and further suggested
this should be limited only to safety of location, and not limited if properly locatedo
Section 18a62o180 was recommended for amendment by the provision of "grovided such
residential stxuctures are located in residential zones"o
Section 18o62a200, Non-conforming Signs - relative to the one-year removal clause as
punative and unconstitutional, and this time should be either eliminated or extended; it
would,cause,hardships and lawsuits and otherwise run many commercial businesses out of
business, and there were many segments of the sign industry who in good faith obtained
permits to erect and hold leases extending froin five to ten years, and the net effect
would.be a financiai hardship and business chaoso Mro Brooks further suggested this be
extended five to ten years rather than the one year clausee
Section 180620080, Mre Brooks continued~ the intent of this section was ideal~ but actual
cases of low silhouette buildings without parapets or ridges would prohibit facia signs,
and it was suggested that this be deleted or rewritten to clarify these cases as roof signso
Sectioa 18062o080(b-2) again was suggested to be corrected to read "two feet per lineal
foot" rather than one-half of one footo
Section 18.620090 regarding wall signs - this section submitted more inequitable restric-
tions than any other section of the proposed ordinance, due to the fact that it actually
restricts future architectural design of buiidingso Many architects were designing com-
pletely lighted facias for buildings, many of which were higher than four feeta
Research was now in process for the development of entirely lighted fronts for buildings j ~
as we:l as lighted architectural decor itemso ~.

Urban Renewal problems could aiso be improved by this portion of the sign business~ and
it was suggested that no restrictions on the store front wall signs, other than minimum
height requirements and no projection ato~:a the parapet wall~ be entertainede
Mra Don Davis, representing Foster Kleiser, 1550 West Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles,
appeared before the Commission and stated that~ in his estimation~ the proposed draft
Mre Roberts had presented this evening was complete; that he had nothing further to add
to what was covered on the establishment of billboards, but that his only concern was
the requirement of the limitation of signs when within 200 feet of residential property;
that the front of the property might be solid commercial, whereas the rear property line
would be abutting residential purposes, and this would not allow the building of a sign,
regardless of whether the "C" zone was appropriate or not, and asked that the Commission
consider this in their final draft of the Billboard Ordinanceo
Commissioner Gauer inquired whether the matter of sign ordinances was something each
city had~ to which Mro Davis replied in the affirmative.
Mra Gauer then stated if this were so, he noted on his trip through Beverly Hills that
they had less signs than most citieso
Mr, Brooksstated that Monterey had the most restrictive sign ordinance, and Laguna Beach
was also somewhat restrictiveo
Discussion was then held by the Commission relative to the various types of signs in the
City of Anaheim, namely on Harbor Boulevard, and those in the Disneyland Areat that possibly
if the Sign Ordinance was adopted, a11 signs within that area could be considered at the
time the conditional use permit was being considered before the Commissiono
Mr, Roberts stated that the sign similar to the one in the plans approved by the Commission :
relative to the theater earlier in the day v~ould be an integral part of the conditional use =
permit if the Commercial-Recreation Zone were not established; that he did not advocate
this as a solution since it would be more appropriate to have it tied in with the zoning
actiono i
The Commission continued discussion relative to the height of signs throughout the City,
and inquired of Mro Davis the reason for the extension of signs to such heightso
Mr, Davis replied that many of the outdoor signs had heavy steel posts which cost consider-
ably more than the average wooden signs, and in order to utilize these expensive signs,
and not block a neighboring sign, these signs were extended to overlook the neighboring
sign~ and that signs were never erected any higher than absolutely necessaryo
The Commission inquired of Mro Rober+.s what effect the propased Ordinance would have on
shopping centers who advertise their week-end sales on small billboards within the parking
areao
Mra Roberts stated the Ordinance did not provide for this type of sign, whether on a building
or ~ot~ but did provide for window coverage of not more than 20%, and that Mro King of the
Building Department would agree that the stores would be in violatian if coverage of the
window was in excesso
Mro Brooks then stated that some sections of the proposed Ordinance were too restrictive~
and he had gone on record that signs should be considei•ed on the basis of public safetyj
that economics should be taken into consideration~ relative to small businesses; that the
sign business was a going business within the State, and with too many restrictions, it
was possible they would be considerably restricted in their future operationso
The Commission advised Mra Roberts to redraft the proposed Sign Ordinance with all the
recommended conditions reviewed at the hearingsq that consideration should be given relative
to commercial properties and signs which backed on residential propertyj to take into con-
sideration the limitation of signs within 200 feet of residential property; that in the
drafting, these signs should not be visible from the residential properties, and should be
angled i.n such a manner to have a negative effect on the rotating portion of the sign to
these.residential propertiesf further consideration should be given to the height limita-
tion; that the suggestion of two square feet per lineal foot was too gre~~ an amount, and
the formu7a proposed originally, of one-half square foot per lineal foat, was adequate;
that some provision should be made, not only for the maximum size of a sign, but also a
minimum size of the size, pernaps based cn a percentage of the frontage of the building;
and further inquired of Mr. Roberts what type of rotati~g signs would be proposed for
hotels, with lightingo

Mro Roberts stated no artificial lighting would be permitted on a rotating sign unless it
was lower than the structure on which it was proposed to be located, and further, if it
was within a certain footage of a residential area, this might be further amended so that
the artificial light would not project into the residential windowso It was suggested
then that the sign could possibly oscillate rather than revolve, and too many restrictions
could not be placed on the revolving sign without causing some detrimental effecta
Commissioner Camp offered a motion to continue the hearing of the Sign Ordinance to the

Subject proposed amendments to the Anaheim Municipal Code were continued from the meetings
of May 11 and June 22, 1964, in order to allow the Staff time to consider the problem of
combining Commerciai-Residential use in the same structure, and to check. with the County
relative to their Sand and Gravel Ordinanceo
Planning Coordinator Allan Shof# advised the Commission that due to illness9 he was unable
to complete his study relative to the NRC Zone, and requested the Commission to continue this
an additional two v~eeks to be considered at the August 3 meetinga Commissioner Camp offered
a motion to continue the public hearing of the addition to the Anaheim Municipal Code,
Chapter 18061 NRC, Natural Resources and Conservation, Zone to allow the Staff time to
complete its study on the proposed zone~ Commissioner Chavos seconded the motiono MOTION

Mro Shoff then advised the Commission that the City Council had requested the C-1 Zone be
available for review at the same time the R-Ay R-2~ R-39 and PRD Zones were to be consicered
at a joint work session on July 280
Mro Shoff then continued, noting that the Staff had made a survey of surrounding cities
relative co the proposed R-P Zone, combining residential and professional of:ice uses of a
residenceo This survey indicated that Fullerton, at one time, had an R-P Zone permitting
the combinat3on9 but had been replaced with an 0-P Zone, which was exclusively for offices;
Buena Park had an A-P, Administrative Professional, Zone which permitted the mixture of
residential and commercial uses; Santa Ana's Professional District permitted professional
offices in all residential uses; and Garden Grove had replaced their R-P Zone with an O~P
Zone, which provided for office uses exclusivelyo
Mro Shoff continued that although the City's C-0, Commercial Office, Zone provided for use
of a residence for commercial uses, said zone was primarily designed for application to
office centers, whereas the R-P 2ones noted in surveys were characteristically designed
for application to strip•-type development~
Mr. Shoff stated the Zoning Division was preparing a comprehensive study of the front~on
residences along arterial highways with suggested typical solutions; that it might be desir-
able in.connection with this study to explore in detail the utility of an R-P type of zone
for use in thuse areas where the City policy encouraged and permitted office and professional
uses along arterial highways, and at that time a revision to the C-0 Zone to clarify its
intent relative to applying of the zone to center type developments exclusively should be
madee
It was further recommended that in the interim, it might be best to require a conditional
use permi.t ia conjunction with the C-1 Zone to permit the residential-commercial use of a
structure until such time as the R-P or similar zone was developedo
It was then recommsnded that Section 18.400020(1), Permitted Uses, should refer to Sectlon
18040.050 instead of 18038.040, since this would place combined residential-commercial uses
in the commarcial use of the residential structure under the C-1 Zone, instead of the C-0
Zone. He noted that the provision for the use of a residential structure in the C~0 Zone
by conditional use permit whe~ less than 20~000 square feet would be incorporated under the
C-1 Zone in Section 18040o050(i-h) as follows:

8o All site development standards of this Chapter shall be complied
witho In addition, the City Planning Commission and~or City
Council may impose such additional conditicns as may be necessary
to comply with the purposes of this Titleo
Mre Shoff further stated that since the Commission might wish to consider these amendments
as interim measures until a proper R-P SPCtion could be provided, this would provide for
two types of development in the zoneo
Commissioner Chavos was of the opinion that these should be separated for proper develop-
ment standards~
It was further recommended by Mro Shoff that the Commission may wish to consider an amend-
ment to the C-0 Zone to permit inserting into Section 180380040(3) the words, the combined
residen.tial and commercial use of a structur~, and~or", if the Commission wanted to permit
this combined useo
In discussing the setbacks and landscaping in the C~1 Zone, Mro Shoff stated that at a
joint meeting of the Planning and Zoning Committees of the Chamber of Commerce and the
Board of Realtors, this problem was raised~ It was mentioned these sections were included
within.the zone, Section 180400060(2) as part of the objective of codifying conditions which
had been applied to individual zoning actions by the Commission and Councila Staff had re-
viewed all petitions for reclassification to commerclal zonirtg between June of 1963 and June
of 1964. Of the total of 47 petitions, 38 were approved, S were denied, and 1 was withdrawn;
of the.38 approved petitions, 6 we:e in accordance with the C-0 standards, 4 were approved
without conditions, 3 approved sub,iect to review of plans, 3 were service stations, and 1
was accompanied by variance for setbacko This left 21 petitions with setbacks of from 5 to
125 feet, and a range of 3 feet to 10 feet for landscapingf the average setback was 4604
feet, and that the average landscaping required was 7 feeto
Mr. Shoff then reviewed Section 18.40a060(4-a~ ::hich covered the off-street parking spaces
required; Section 18.40a060(8) Development Revie~+; Section 18a40a060(9) Street Dedication
and Improvements; and Section tEo40.060(9-f) whict~ had been submitted to them in the June 22,
1964 reporto
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt advised the Commission that a recently recommended approval
of reclassification for the property on Brookhurst Street between Orange Avenue and Broadway
was considered by the City Council, and consideration was held in abeyance until the C-1
Zone amendment was recommended to the City Council. This was the basis for recommending the
Commission consider the present draft for Council consideration at the joint work sessio~, on
July 28.
Mr. Shoff then stated that a new draft could be made incorporating all the thoughts presented
at previous meetings, to the Commissiona

District to the 100-C2-IO,OOJ General Business District, certain
property located on the south side of Santa Ana Canyon Road and
northerly of the SaA,V~I. Canal in the Santa Ana Canyon areaa
Zoning Coordinator Martin Kreidt presented to the Commission Orange County Case Noo 811,
and reviewed the area in which subject property was Iocatedo Further, that because of the
possible effect the commercial zoning request might have on the Hill and Canyon General
Plan, presently being drafted by the Planning Department, a detailed study was prepared as
follows:
On July 1, 1964, the Orange County Planning Commission reviewed Zoning Case Noo 811
and continue9 the item to their meeting of July 29, 19640
Mro James Black, the agent for subject petition, was directed by the County Planning
Commission to contact the Anaheim Planning Commission and staff requesting a review
of his requesta Mro Black contacted the Planning Department and was informed that it
was the Commission°s policy not i:o review petitions for reclassification without plans
of developmento Mro Black then prepared and submitted a plot pl.~n for reviewe
Plot Plan 3eview:
(a) The plot plan proposes a neighborhood shopping center consisting of a service
station, major supermarket, restaurant and other small stores which would all
be considered G-1 uses in the City of Anaheima
(b) The service statior, is a permitted use, however, the station will probably be
substantially re-designed to conform with major oil company layouts and the
Anaheim adopted Service Station Standardso
(c) The uses proposed~ ioeo, a supermarket, restaurant, and service station would
require 239 standard parking spaceso The petitioner proposes 136 spaces (no
typical space shown so it is not known if they meet City standards) which
indicates a shortage of 103 parking spaceso
(d) No bui~ding elevations were submitted for reviewe
(e) The existirq garage would be a C-3 use, not G2, and has sufficient ~~a to ~
provide required parkingo
(f) The existing ~~elling is no~ a permitted use in a C-2one and, ther~: ahould
be removed from the :itee ;
~
(g) Vehicular access to the proposed shopping center is indicated as coming from an
e;:tended service roado A camplete analysis of the implications of subject i
~eliicular access cannut be achieved without reference to a precise circulation ~

REPORTS AND - ITEM NQ. 5(Continued)
RECOMN4ENDATIONS Orange County Case Noa 811
a General Plan for the Hill and Canyon Area east of the City of Anaheimo Th:: ~lan,
upon completion, will provide a framework in which to evaluate shopping center pro-
posals such as Mro Black'so
The commercial element of the Hill and Canyon General Plan is being developed utiliz-
ing the concept of planned unified shopping centersa Although Mro Black's proposal
conforms to the planned shopping center concapt, it is one of many commercial develop-
ment proposals which have been considered ieasible by property owners who feel that
tb.eir parcels of property in the Santa Ana Canyon area ali have commercial development
potentialo However, the residential development (in essence, the economic suppoxt for
shopping cente=s) which is taking place in the Canyon is concentrated west of Imperial
Highwayo. The area east of Imperial has not experienced a degree of res:dential devel-
opment :~hich would provide economic support, at the present time, for any shopping
center> This evident scarcity of economic support indicates that the proposed shopping
center may be premature and the success of the proposal would not be affected by a slight
delay in developmento
A neighborhood shopping center represents services to a certain segment of the economic
marketo A neighborhood shopping center should be related to the remaining segments of
the commercial shopping service network such as community centers, regional centers,
etco Any shopping center proposal should have the benefit of evaluation in relation
to all the elaments of an adopted General Plano Due to the nearness of completion of
the Hill 3nd Canyon General Plan it is hoped that the County Planning Commission would
favorably consider basing their review of shopping center proposals in the Santa Ana
Canyon Area upon the evaluation of the proposal's relationship to the commerciai element
and, moreover, the combined elements of the completed Hill and Canyon General Plana
Following the presentation of the above Study, discussion was held by the Commission
relative to the date of completion of the Hill and Canyon General Plan and the past
spirit of cooperation between the County Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors,
and the City of Anaheimo
Commissioner Perry offered a motion to recommend to the City Council that the Orange
County Planning Commission be encouraged to hold under submission Orange County Case
Noo 811~ for the purpose of evaluating the relationship of the petitioner°s proposal to
the commercial and other elements of the Hill and Canyon General Plano Commissioner
