VARIANCE N0~1679 - PUnLIC HEARINGa ROBEP.T C~ AND A. MpE BROOKS, 1609 Humor Drive, Anaheim,
California, Owners; requesting permission to waive the minimum required
floor area and minimum required side yards on property described as:
k rectangularly shaped parcel of land with a fror;tage of 50 feet on the east side of
Philadelphia Street and a depth of 154 feet, thr~ northern boundary of said property being
approximately 308 feet south of the centerlinc of South Street, and further described as
824 South Philadelphia Street, to convert a single-family residence into a two-family
residence. Property presently classified R-2, MULTIPLE-F;,MILY RE£IDENTIAL, ZONE.
Mr, Robert Brooks, the petitioner, apoeared before tt~2 Commission and reviewed the purpose
for the conversion of the existing single-family residence, and in respor,se to Commission
questioning, stzted that he was aware of the req~irements of improving the structure to
meet Building Code requiremQnts, but felt that at least one-half of the exisfiing home would
not have the olumbing renovated because it was still in operable condition.
h'l~'s= Emma J„ Lawrence, 820 South Philadelphia Street, appeared before the Commission in
epposition Lo subject petition and requested clarification of some of the requirements
stated in tt~e legal notice, asking the amount of reduction in the required side yard,
stating that considerable noise would emanate from the existing building, and that it was
requested a six-foot masonry wall be constructed adjacent to her property l.;.ne to reduce
said noise and provide her with privacy since one of the exits of the apa:•tme.nt would be
facing her propertyo
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised Mrs. Lawrence that since her property and
subject property were zoned R-2, a six-foot masonry wall was not required by Code, and
that the plans indicated a ten-foot, eight-inch side yard, whereas Code requirements were
for a twelve-foot side yard, and that the Anaheim Municipal Code, Section 4.15 covering
the Penal Code of noise and disturbance of peace in the neighborhood would govern any
unnecessary noises she might have, and that the Code did not specify specific hours for
access to subject property.

Mr. Lee Schulz, representing the agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission
and stated he was available to answer questionso
The Commission noted that subject property and the proposed service station were within
75 feet of an R-A residence, which, in accordance with Code requirements, would mean the
filing of a conditional use permit to permit the establishment of a service station within
75 feet of a residence~
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the Commission that action could be taken on
the reclassification, and the Commission might desire to initiate the conditional use
permit~ routing it to the City Council to be heard concurrently with the reclassification.
No one appeared in oppositior. to subject petition.
THE F~ARING WAS CLOSED.

standing they would subdivide the property with C-1 f*ontage on the Lincoln Avenue portion

TI-~ HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Loning Coordinator Robert Mickelson advised the Commission that since the last public
hearing he had contacted the agent for the petitioner relative to revised plans a,d had
been informed that the peti.tioner was desirous of having subject petitions considered on
~--=~;~ the plans submitted, and that because of this, the department initiated the C-1 and R-1
~y , reclassification petition in conformance with the Commission's desire for zoniny of subject
~•.{~ property,
Discussio.. was held by the ~ommission, and it was r.oted that the proposed motel would
provide a parking lot along the Embassy Avenue frontage which would be a use incompatible
with the residential environment of the area; tha;. commercial use for the Lincoln Avenue
frontage would be a foregone conclusion, but that no encroachment of commercial uses should
_, be permitted in the primarily residential area.
Commissioner Gauer offered Resolution No. 1510, Series 1964-65, and moved for its passage
and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Allred, to recommend to the City Council that Petition
for Reclassification No. 6A•-65-54 be disapproved, based on the fact that the petitioner had
stipulated at the first public hearing that they would develop subject property with C-1
for the Lincoln Avenue frontage and f~•-1 for the Embassy Avenue frontage; tt~at the use was
incompatible with the established single-family residential development in the area; that
the proposed reclassification would be an encroachment of commercial uses into a residential
area; and that the proposed reclassification was not necessary or desirable for the orderl;~
and proper development of the community. (See Resolution Book.)

into two portions, developing the northerly, or Lincoln Avenue, frontage for C-1 uses, and
the southerly, or Embassy Avenue, frontage for R-1 uses, and that the proposed variance

MINUTES, CITY PiANNING COMMISSION, February 1, 1965 2469
RECLASSIFICATION - Mr. Archie Shoemate, 110 South Emerald Place, appeared befc•re the
N0. 64-65-91 Commission and stated he was in favor of the proposed reclassification
since this was what had been agreed to by the property owner in a meet-
VARIANCE N0. 1683 ing with residents in ±he sin9le-family tract adjacent to the Embassy
(Continued Avenue frontage of subject property; that there was no argument relative
to permitti.ng C-1 for the Lincoln Avenue frontage because it was felt by
the single-family homeowners that the property owner should be able to
obtain the maximum for his property fronting on an arterial street; and that it was his
desire to have the Commission establish, by resolution, their feelings on subject property
since there was no need for establishing commerciai uses on the Embassy P.venue frontage.
Considerable discussion was held by the Commission relative to whether or not the Commission
should approve reclassification proceedings, It was determined the Commission had done this
in other actions relative to the existing service stations and other uses throughout the
City, and that this was only a resolution of i~tent, and if approved by the City Council
would only require meeting conditions attachej thereto in order to process the property
for reclassification, Further, that any favorable action taken on subject petitions would
show the Commission`s thinking in preferring ,io encroachment of commerciai uses into the
resider.tial integrity of the area~
; Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the Commission that prior to 1958, the Commission
was unable to initiate reclassification proceedings, but since then, the ordinance provided
for the Commission`s initiating petitions~ setting for public hearing the rezoning of
property, and that the p=~perty would not be rezoned until an ordinance was read after
all conditions attached thereto had been met.
THE HEkRING VJAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Perry offered Resolution No~ 1512, Series 1964-65, and moved for its passage

A9ent; requestin~ permission to establish a convalescen{. hospital with
waiver of minimum required rear yard on property described as: A

side of Ball Road and a depth of approximately 295 feet, the eastern boundary ef said
property being approximately 133 feet west of the centerline of Western Avenue, and further
described as 3213 West IIall Road. Property presently classified R-A, AGRICUI.TURAL, ZONE.
Mr. Marko Botich, architect for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated
he was available to answer questions,
The Commission noted for the architect that on examination of the plans, it was determined
that ihe accessways were minimal; that trash storage areas were inadeqvate, and trash would
have to be picked up on the street frontage, which would be a step backwards,
Mr. Botich stated that if the Commission felt the plans should be redesigned, this could be
done very easily by the reduction of their proposed fi~~e-foot strip of landscaping to three
feet, thereby increasing the drive to twenty feet, which would be adequate for access of
pickup trucks.
A letter from the Hospital Planning Association of Southern California was read to the
Commission indicating that there was no need for the proposed convalescent hospital because
of an overabundance of existing facilities in Orange County, and Anaheim in particular.

- Mr,: David Hook, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and reviewed the
- proposed development, noting that a survey had been conducted which indicated that certain
; retail activities were absent irom the a=ea, and it was proposed to provide these retail
services; that about one-third of the proposed office structure had been leased; that they
had been unsuccessful in obtaining any firm commitments on the high-rise apartment structure
formerly requested; and that it was his understanding that the variance was necessary to
provide for the parapet covering the air-conditioning units on the property~
A colored rendering of the proposed retail office b~:lding was viewed by the Commission,
which indicated the type of architecture being proposed..
~oning Coordinator Robert Mickelson, in clarifying the requirement of a variance, stated
the petitioner would not have needed the variance for just the parapet te cover the air-
conditioning units, but because the proposed structure would be less than two-to-one ratio
from the boundaries of the R-A property~
The Commission advised the agent that the plans did not indicate the required thr2e-foot
strip of landscaping abutting the sidewalk, to which Mr, Hook replied that it had been his
assumption that trees and tree wells were all that were required, but that he would stipulate
to revising the plans to include the re~uired three-foot strip of landscaping after it was
noted he was providing more than sufficient parking spaceo
In response to Commission questioning relative tc the type of drive-in restaurant proposed,
Mr. Hook stated it was proposed to have a"Kentucky chicken-type, take-out restaurant";
that no facilities would be available for consummation of the food on the premises; that
all orders would be for carry-out only; and that the proposed drive-in restaurant could
not be considered in the same category as a normal drive-in restaurant,
No one appeared in opposition to subject petitions,
,,~` THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
' Mr. Mickelson advised the Commission that it would be wise to keep the variance active in
~ the event the revised plans encroached into the requirement of a two-to-one setback from
„~ the R-A Zone, thus making it possible to handle administratively any slight deviation from
the present planso

Dr~ Herbert Tarlowy agent for the petitioners, appeared before the Commission and reviewed
the proposed development, noting that the initial phase would have a 50•-bed hospital with
facilities to expand to a 200-bed hospital in the future, and wouid
facilities in the east Anaheim area where no facilities existede CrPrTarluwfthen~reviewed
the location of the various hospitais throughout the city 3nd outlying areas in conjunction
with freeway traffic and industrial development as it pertained to accidents.,
Dra Ta:low furt::er stated ihat ali hospita; facilities would be provided with the exception
of "open heart surgery"; that active support had been voiced by the doctors in the area;
the area w~s surrounded by C-1 uses; that ambulance service was provided two blocks north-
erly o£ subject property; that most of the lots existing on Coffman Street were vacant,
and the proposed use of one of the lots would be compiimentary with parking facilities
for the hospital providing par.king for 145 cars, and that this iot would be for empleyee
pa:king only~
The Commission noted for the igent for the petitioner that parking on Parcel 3 would
:equire 60 degzee parking rather than the proposed 90 degree parking to be in compliance
with r.he City Coiancii reso=ution on p~rking, and that since the amount of parking being
provideci was far above zoning :equirements, the loss in the change of the parking layout
would amount to only eight parking spaces~
The Commission further noted that the reauested P-1 Zone permitted multiple•-family residen-
tial development; that the Commission might desire limiting the use on subject property to
pa*king purposes only; that the Commission might also desire to require a six-foot masonry
wall on the north, west, and south property lines to prohibit any vehicular access to and
through a residential street; and that six iots northerly of subject property were
presently landlocked, heving been provided with an easement for access to Cypress Street,
but which couid not be developed for commercial purposes under the present landlocked
situationo
~ Dr~ Tarlow stated they were interested in the possibility of expanding the hospital and
have discussed with the owners of the parcels in question the possible purchase of the lots.
The Commission then suggested the possibility of developing an Area Development Plan to
devise some means to protect the landlocked parcels to the north of subject property ir,
the event access was not obtainable for them from the property owner presently giving
them accesso
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that Condition No~ 4 required that all
access rights to Coffman Street be dedicated to the City.
Further discussion was held by the Commission relative t~ establishing z parking lot in
e residential zoney the requi~emen± of dedicat.ior! ;;;,; access rights, a solid, six-foot
masonry wall along the north, west, and south property lines, revision of the proposed
parking for Paicel 3, and prohibiting any possible gates being placed in the six-foot
masonry wail in order to eliminate parking of cars by the employees or visitors of the
hospital in a residential street, since this had been quite a policing problem in the
pasto

officially terminating the tentative tract approved on subject and
VARIANCE_NOa 168~ the abutting property to the westo
(Continued)
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that properties to
the east and west were dependent upon two stub streets from subject
property, as originaily proposed on the tentative tract; that tne Commission should
determine if some resolution were made relative to the stub streets as they affected
the abutting propertiesq that he had discussed the possibility of termination of ttie
tract with the engineer, who stated he had no knowledge of any proposed revisions or
termination of the property to the sast under Tentative Map of Tract Noo 5389, but
indicated the deve~oper might be agreeable to a revised tentative tract map which would
eliminate ail access to subject property, but nothing was received in writing or stated
conclusivelyo
The Commissior, then reviewed the final tract map on subject property, together with the
property to the east originally approved for multiple-family development, and noted the
circulation pattern for each were dependent upon each other, and inquired of Mro Daw
whether or not any recent plans h°~? been received for the easterly portiono
htro Daw stated that nothing had been developed on the property to the east, but a planned
unit development was approved, contin9ent upon having access through subject propertye
~r.~a., ~ ,.
Mr, Fair'as~s.an, real estate broker, appeared before t;:e Commission and stated he was
handling subject propertY3 that he had some knowledge of the property to the east, but
was not aware that a street to provide circuiation was proposed since the parcel was not
large enough to have a fuily dedicated street~
Mr~ Daw stated that the tract to the east had a 53-foot access road through to subject
property, and aii proceedings on the p:operties to the east and west would have to be
terminated if s~bject petitions were approved~

Mr. Fair.ba-~an ;tated he hid not been aware of this access road, that the proposed project
was ready for deveiopmer.t, 3nd no pians were a~ai:ab:e t~~ d•~~•-~iop the property to the east
and the west„
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts stated the Commission had the alternative of requiring
or :e,;uesting that adjoin?ng property owners invoived in the circu_ation of subject and
:~butting properties review the probiems under conside:ation; that the Commission can state
tha± subject property couid not be deveioped as proposed uniess proceedings of properties
to the east and west were terminated, or revised plans have been submitted, and that the
Commission migF.t consider a short continuance for the Planning Department to have a con-
ference witti the property owners.,
The Commission noted that the variance was to request waivei of the required yard areas
on all bu± two lotsy and th~t the Staff could h~ve presented a more clear picture relative
to the exert waiver req,uirements~
Mr~, Mickelson stated that the petitione: was proposing two-story str~~ctures with access
requiring 15-foot side yazds, but proposing only i4 feet, and that some of them were
only 19 and 11 feet, whete adjacent to the alley~
Mr~ Rose stated that the design of the structure was in accordance with all R-3 Code
requirements„
Mr~ Mickelson then advised the Commission a clarification wouid be made in the next Staff
Report if subject petitions were continued.,

M~'o G, H~ Weber, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and noted that
ail evidence presented on subject petition had been considered by the Commission at the
previous hearing~ that since the Cit~ Counci: had apprcved an ordinance permitting the
proposed uses by a condition3l use permit and Title 17, subject petition was in order; and
that he would like consideration relative to street lights and street trees being waived
temporarily at this time.,
The Commission noted th3t on their field inspection trip of subject property, the f~nce
_ had been viewed as erected, and it was the feeling very iittle irt~rovement could be rr.ade
with additionai landscaping~
Mra Weber stated the new ordinance required landscaping on the front of the fence, whereas
they preferred to h~ve the landscaping on the inside of the fence a=_ a safety feature,
since shrubbery grew at various heights, and this would be a detriment with children in
the area jumping from behind the landscape shrubbery~
Mro Weber then p:esent photographs of shrubbery erected in front of the fence, and also
shrubbery behind the fence, with the fencing beina on the property line~,
It was noted by the Commission that subjec~ property was the oniy oi;e having any improve-
ment, and there was a possibiiity that Rich.`ield Road might not be continued across the
Santa Ana River~
Mr, Weber further stated it was not his intention to ask for a permanent waiver of the
I.andscaping bec3use it was their intent to deveiop this as the street was improved, but
he could also see no ie~son for improving the street with curb and gutter because of the
uncerteinty as to TUtU:e extension and develupment of Richfield Roada
Office Engineer Ar±hur Daw advised the Commission that normaiiy bonds could be posted
for streei imprcvement up to six. months, but the Commission might desire to approve a
two-yea: bond; that Richfield Road had been abandoned across the river because the
Orange County Water District wouid not permit it because of the limitation of the numbPr
of streets spanning the river; and that the dedication was indicated as such because un~9e.r
Reclassi:~cation No~ 64~65-25 the dedication was recommended forthe ~uily-Miller property,
and subject property was adjacent~
Mr~ H, R„ Stokes, attorney for the petitioner, aFPeared before the Commission and stated
that since his firm was presently digging in the area under a County permit, with permis-
sion to use Fee Ana Street for a two-year period~ that an eight~acre parcei will have
been completely dug by that ~ime; that at the time these properties were developed, the
holes would not have been fiiled, and dedication for Richfield Road could be required
at that time; that with the resolution of intent for tneir property, the L'ity could require
dedication foi sireet widening purposes in ±he M-1 Zone; and that the alignment of La Palma
E~venue wouid in no way affect subject propertyo
Zoning Coordinator Robert Mickeison indicated on the General Pian to the Commission the
general alignment of La Palma Avenue~
Mra Victor Peltzer, 7002 South Richfield Road, appeared before the Commission and stated
the County required improvements be made north of La Palma on Richfield Road, and the
petitioner should likewise be required to dedicate and improveo
Considerable discussion was then held between the Commission, Mre Peltzer, the attorney
for the petitioner, Mr~ Mickelson, and Mro Daw on the possibility of dedication, street
improvement, street lights, and street trees, Mro Daw concluding that if the circulation
element of the General Plan were amended to include Richfield Road as an exception, then
consideration might be given to waiver of improvements, etco
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts stated that the deeds of easement wouid be required;
therefore, it might be difficult to indicate this on the General Plan, and that the posting
of a bond was the only solutiono

walk-up restaurant, but were still desirous of having the Commission consider approval
of C-1 for both parcels with the service station on the corner since the elevations were
submitted for the service station. Further, that in reviewing the Interdepartmental
Committee recommendations, his client was opposed to the requirement of a 20-foot alley
~ for the west and south property lines because to require this would be inconsistent with
~ any previous requirements for service stations in the area by the City; that with the
dedication of a 20-foot alley, plus the requirement that additional footage be dedicated
to the City for street widening of East Street, insufficient property would remain for
the construction of the service station; that he had consulted with the Department of

The Commission informed tha agent for the petitioners that the Commission had denied
i both service stations at North and East Streets, and that with the advent, of La Palma
Avenue overcrossing the railroad tracks, the Public Utilities Commission would require
that North Street be "dead-ended" at the railroad tracks, thus making North Street a
cul-de-sac street just two blocks west of the proposed service station.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the Commission this was the stand the Public
Utilities Commission would take, ~nd that they would require that North Street be closed
over the railroad tracks if the extension of La Palma Avenue over the railroad tracks
were consummated.

RECLASSIFTCATION - Mro Andy Anderson, 741 North Rose Street, appeared before the Commission
H~o 64-65-89____ and stated his property abutted sub'ect
sub'ect ~ ProPerty, and he was opposed to
J petitions, although the withdrawal of the walk-up restaurant and
CONDITIONAL USE market had eliminated some of his opposition; that he was a firm believer
PERMIT NOo 672 in the property owner having the right to develop his property to its
highest and best use, provided, however, that he did not interfere
GENERAL PLAN adversely with the development or environment of the area in which it
ANENDMENT NOa 5~ was located; that from observation he had noted that within an area of
one mile on East Street, ten service stat3ons were already in existence,
AREA DEVELOPN~M' with an eleventh one having been recently approved; that he doubted
PLAN NOa 17 seriously that any other city in the County of Orange would have a
(Continuedj-` pr;mary or secondary street with that many service stations within one
mile; that if the proposed service station were approved, this would be a
further encroachment into the residential integrity of the area, and
would have a detrimental aifect on the residential characteristics and value of properties
in the area, since the only commercial uses along East Street were service stations, to-
gether with two shopping areas at the extreme north and south, extending from Lincoln Avenue
northerlyo It was further noted that the petitioner was requesting the Commission to enforce
economic obsolescence on the neighbors by the change in character of the use, legislative
inaction, and proximity to nuisance if subject petitions were approved; that all the resi-
dents and homeowners in the area were concerned and wondered what would happen to their
properties as a result of an approval; that a property owner had only one chance to fight
before a governing body before the economic obsolescence took place; that the seventeen people
owning properties on Rose Street purchased their homes six and one-half years ago, and the
last thought that had entered their minds was the possibility this would become a commercial
area; and that, therefore, the Commission must decide what the highest and best use of the
land was without detrimentally affecting the adjoining property owners in forcing economic
ob:solescence on them~
Mr, Robert Brambley, 752 North Bush Street, appeared before the Commission in opposition
to subject petition and stated that in addition to the comments made by Mr, Anderson, it
was the duty of the Planning Commission to consider the economic growth of the community
in rendering their decision - whether or not proper land use should be considered -
or anything else; that a number of the service stations have had a number of lessee operators,
and based on statements made by a number of the operators, it was impossible to make a finan-
cial ~uccess of the service stations on that streets this, then, meant there was always the
possibility of having undesirable elements operating and frequenting these service stations;
and that because of the eiforts of the Commission and City Councii, the City of Anaheim had
become an economically sound areae Further, the Dunn and Bradstreet rating indicated that
service stations and restaurants had the greatest number of business failures of any busi-
nesses in the countryo
Mre Frederick Jeter, 1028 Eas•c North Street, appeared before the Commission in opposition
and stated his property adjoined the proposed service station to the west~ that in his
opinion, the appearance of a:esidentiai area should be taken into consideration; that
service stations did not add to the livabili:y of a neighborhood, since one could observe
from the appearance of many of the service stations in the area they appeared more like a
junkyard than a respectable business in the reeidential areas and that as long as these
service stations must encroach into residential areas, they should be made to keep the
appearance compatible and complimentary to the area. Further, there must be a better use
for the property than an ugly service station; therefore, it was important to the residents
and homeowners in the area to have some consideration from the City in rendering their
decisions.
Zoning Coordinator Roberi Mickelson advised the Commission that if the Commission desired,
Associate Planner Ronald Grudzinski would present the Area Development Plan. The Cormnission
advised they preferred to have the Area Development Plan held in abeyance.
Chairman Mungali inquired how many persons were present in the Council Chamber opposing
subject petitions, and a showing of hands indicated twenty-five persons were present.
TFIE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
" The Commission then discussed the reque~t of an 2dditional service station on East Street.
It was the opinion of the Commission that since they had opposed a number of others on
this street, the compatibility of service stations in a residential area was still doubt-
ful; that if subject petition were approved, this would mean the breakdown o: another intersec-
tion for strip commercial development~ that if La Palma Avenue were to be extended across
the railroad tracks, this would mean North Street would no longer be a through street;and
, that all the homes along the west side of East Street were well-kept, and no evidence had
been presented to indicate any change in approving commercial development for both the
~ east side and west side of East Street.

I
'1-I On Janua.y 11, 1965, the Anaheim Planning Commission reviewed Petition for Reclassi-
fication Noo 54-65-79, Af'ter rendering decision on said petition, the Commission directed
the Plannin9 Department to prepare an Area Deveiopment Plan for the properties on the east
~ side of Harbor Boulevard, between Santa Ana Street and Water Street.
;~ _ The Area Developmeni Plan has been prepared and the results are as follows:
,•~ FINDINGS:
~i
'i lo The subject properties are presently used as low density single-family home sites.
-_{ 2~ The land use surrounding subject properties consists of (See Land Use Quarter
~ Section Noo 73),
~
{ a. Single-family homes oi medium density to the north,

r ~
? i c. A mixture of low density single-family homes and professional offices to the south.
d, A mixture of low density single-family homes and professional offices to the west.
~ 3. The homes fronting on the west side of Harbor, directly across from subject properties,
are included in Area Development Plan No. 2, which recommended the development of said
,I ; homes for commercial-professional offices and laid down the guidElines for development
~ of a secondary access system ±o serve the properties.
; 4. The General Plar has indicaaed the potential for commercial-professional office use
~- i of the properties fronting along Harbor Boulevard at this location.
~~ 5. The Planning Commission has a g
pproved C-0 Zonin on three of the four northernmost parcels.

and a 4-foot wide parkway~

'' ~ 7. All of the
'f parcels have vehicular access to Harbor Boulevard. However, a 15-foot wide,
~ unpaved alley exists at the rear of subject properties. ihe al.ley extends from Water

PLAN N0~ 16
So A line of power poles runs along the westerly boundary of the existing alley. If
the alley were widened, dedicated and paved, the City of Anaheim would undertake
the responsibility of relocating the poles.
9. Dedication of the ultimate right-of-way for Harbor Boulevard (45 foot half-width)
would reduce the front yard an additional 7,75 feet. However, this would still
leave a front yard of 12075 feet.
10, After reduction of lot depth for dedication of Harbor Boulevard and the alley, the
~;y~~ lot depths will be 96.98 and the resultant lot sizes will be approximately 4,850
square feeto

garage structures and rear yard walls were removed. ~ properties if the
12o Using the tier of lots fronting on Harbor Boulevard for commercial-p=ofessional
office use would allow parking for approximately 1,25G square feet of office space.
'~ 13. Using lots fronting on Ha:bor Boulevard for commercial-professional office use and
lots fronting on Helena Street for parking would provide:
ao 3,000 square feet oc office space if one lot on each street were used.
; b~ 7y250 square feet if two adjacent lots on each street were usedo
The width of the lots limits the design of a parking layout~ However, it is possible
to acquire a more developable package when more than one frontage lot is used for the
development site~
RECOMMENDATIOIJS :
1. That the properties along the east side of Harbor Boulevard between Santa Ana
Street and Water Street be considered to have commercial-professional office
potential and be developed as depicted on either:
~;
_ Exhibit~'A" - Said Exhiioit depicts the use of one tier of lots fronting on Harbor,
ultimate dedication for Harbor Boulevard (45 feet from center line), additional
5 feet of dedication for alley, and extension of the alley northerly to Santa Ana
Streeto
Exhibit "B" - Said Exhibit depicts the use of one tier of lots fronting on Harbor
Boulevard and a tier of lots fronting on Harbor Boulevard and a tier of lots front-
ing on Helena Street, ultimate dedication for Harbor Boulevard (45 feet from center
line), additional 5 feet of dedication for the ailey, extension of the alley north-
erly to Santa Ana Street, commercial-professional use of the Harbor frontage
properties, with parking on the Nelena Street frontage properties, and a 6-foot
high masonry wall with a 3~-foot wide planting strip adjacent to the sidewalk on
Helena Street and Water Street sides of the parking area.
2o That at such time as the alley is completed, as recommended, the vehicular access
rights to Harbor Boulevard, Santa Ana Street, Water S'creet, .3~d Helena Street,
except for alley openings, be dedicated to the City o~~ Anaheim~"
It was further noted by Mr. Grudzinski that Area Development Plan No< 2 covered properties
; on the west side of Harbor 3oulevard which provided for secondary access on the rear of
~ those properties upon having reached an agreement with the school district for the completion
! of the alley from Watcr to S~,-ita Ana Street, and that the General Plan ro osed
~ office development for those p P professional
~ propertieso
Mr. Fred Kirk, owner of property at 525 South Helena Street, appeared before the Commission
and reviewed the statements made by Mro Grudzinski~ being of the opinion that Plan "B"
was the only ,`easible means of development, but if the Commission was more favorably in-
clined to Plan "A", that a six-foot masonry wall be required cn the east side of the alley
to separate the commercial uses from the residential usese
In response to Commission questioning, Mr. Kirk stated that access to garages for those
properties fronting on Helena Street was from Helena Street and not from the alley;
-~ therefore, the request for a six-foot masonry wall would be in order.

PLAN N0~ 16
Mr. Edwin J. Evans, i3352 Heather Circle, Garden Grove, appeared before the Commission,
stating he represented his parents, Mro and Mrs. A. Vandelden, 541 South Helena Street,
and stated that the commentaries made by Mr, Grudzinski weie quite interesting, noting
that if development of the parcels was made individually, this would only provide for a
1,250 square foot structure; that it was obvious that the adoption of Plan "A" would
limit the development of the properties, but Plan "B" would give adequate parking for
the bnilding of commercial structures on the Harbor Boulevard frontage, with parking on
the oppo;,ite side of the alley; that the City of Orange was experiencing oroblems in the
development of some of their streets because alleys were not provided, and that he
--~~ recommended to the Commission that they consider Plan "B" favorablyo
i
The Commission was of the opinion that it might be advisable to have a land assembly
of the small lots because it was aimost irt:possibie to develop the parcels singly because
the price oi the :and in that area wouid necessitate having rentals in that area in
excess of $400 pei nonth; and that Pian "3" would be an advisable plan to adopt if the
Commission were to set ~p ar. a:e3 for redeveiopmei,t for office uses only~
_ Commissioner Rowland was of the opinion that the City had a Redevelopment Ager.:y; that
Plan "B" was a logical choice and would be economically feasible, but consideration
should be taken of the fac+: that no parking would be permitted on Harbor Boulevard in
the very near future, and +3dditional access to the alley portion should be indicated on
an Area Development Plan scmewhere in the middle of the block in order that fullest
utilization of the commerciai office use and the parking would be made.
Mr„ Aksai Oas, 531 South Hel~~na Street, appeared before the Commission and stated it was
very difficult to make any dec~sion on ±ne short presentation made on Area Uevelopment
Plan No. l6; that it wouid be wise tor the Commission to consider continua~ion so that
all the property owners in the area could give further thought to the plans presented;
that in his es±imation, Plan "B" seemed to be the only plan worthy of consideration;
th?t since Harbor Boulevard was the main street to Disneyland and was in the heart of
. thz proposed Center City Area, redevelopment of those lots fronting on Harbor Boulevard
with commercial structures was most practical for the City, as well as investors who
would be interested in that area; and that upon development of the Center City Area.
;' this would be one of the most presentabie areas for visitors to the City of Anaheimo
_ Mr~ Austin Mosgay, representing J•, C~ Emmons, 546 South Harbor Boulevard, appeared
before the Commission and inquired of the Commission whether it was permissihle in the
C-0 Zone for parking to be separated from the main building, to which the Commission
~ replied the C•-0 Code permitted off•-site parking within 300 feet of the existing structure;
that sever~l stores in ihe City were already providing parking which was not adjacent to
the stores'' ioia*.i~~: and inat Area Development Plan No~, 16 was not a reclassification
procedure, but was a means of possible development of those properties fronting on Harbor
Boulevard, and all property owners adjacent to those properties were notified to voice
their sentiments~
Zoning Coordinator Robert Mickelson advised the Commission that if subject Area Develop-
ment Plan were continued, it would mean the plan would not be available for the City
Council to consider in conjunction with the recently recommended-for-approval Reclassi-
fication Noo 64-65•-79, since the proposed parking lot was less than 20,000 square feet~
Further, in response to Commission questioning, stated that the Commission had not
officially seen the rPVised plans on the southwest corner of Santa Street and Harbor
Boulevard; that from his understanding the petitioners were proposing to increase in
density the us2 of the land, and because of this, could not meet Code requirements for
parking - this was basicaliy the reasoi for obtaining the property on the east side of
the streeta
Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to continue the consideration of Area Development
Plan No~ 16 to the meeting of March 1, 1965, in order to allow time for the property
owners concerned in said Area Developmert Plan to study the data presented at the hearing.

Zoning Coordinator Robert tdickelson advised the Commission that a condition of approval
of the proposed miniature golf course on property located at the southeast corner of
La Palma and Magnolia Avenues was that any development of the southerly portion should
have plans reviewed prior to issuance of a building permit; that because of the nature
of the development~ there were no structural building permits required for the southerly
qortion, therefore, the appiicant had apparently overiooked the requirement to have
Commission approval prior to development of that portion; that plans were presented
marked Exhibit 1, Revision Noo lq ihat all requirements of the Anaheim Municipal Code
had been met; and it was recommended the Commission approve the plans for the develop-
ment of the southerly portion of subject propertyo
Mro Richard Hufft9 1801 North Bush Streety Santa Ana, appeared before the Commission

approval, and that the highest point of the grading would be six feet on the southerly

terraced down from that cornero Further, that the church adjacent to the property had
