M~•„ R=y Livir.gstonof Writtier, agent for lia;bci• Service Stations, lessee of subject property,
appeared before the Commission and reviewed the proposed service station development, noting
he had been conferring with the Traffic and Development Services Departments reiative te the
alignment of La Palma Avenue and the ultirnate widening of La Palma Nvenue,%:r.i that the service
station building would be :elocated in such a manner *,hat if street widening took place9
there would be no need for relocating said building~
The Commission inquired of the agent for the petitioner whether o: not he proposed to con-
struct the service station in a similar manner to that at State Coilege Boulevard and Howell.
Avenue, since, in their opinion, tr~at service station site would not be compatible to said
station site at Anaheim Boulevard and La Palma Avenue since this would be the entrance to
the City of Anaheim, as well as beir,g in close proximity to~ co~:-rercial deve:opr..ent which
had expended considerable money to beautify their structure and its s,~i.e•.:ndinga
Mroi_ivinaston then stated rothought had been given to construction of a residential-type
service sc~tion such as they were proposing at the corner of Nutwood and Katella Avenues
which was a hacienda-type service station since the proposed service sta'.ion site was not
in close proximity to residential structures,
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that overlays were avail-
able for varying s=tbacks of La Palma Avenue and the relocation of the drive approaches for
the proposed service station site; that if the Commission considered Finding Noo 3 of the
Repori to the Commission relative to the policy statement regarding building setbacks along
La Palrna Avenue, between Harbor Boulevard and Pauline Street, and an aerial photograph which
he was presenting, these would indicate how these setbacks would affect the residences
' presently existing in the area.

CCNDITIONAL USE - Discussion was held by the Commissi~n relative to establishing a policy
PERMIT_N0~ 790 for La Palma Avenue, or whethex or not an amendment should be considered
(Continued) to the Circulation Element of the General Plan which would establish the
ultimate right-of-way for the south side of La Palma Avenue to 53 feeto
During the discussion by the Commission it was noted that where the exist-
ing mattress factory was located, the street width was only 32~- feet, and that if an amend-
ment to the General Plan was approved, this would serve as adequate notice to future develop-
ment for La Palma Avenue relative to its ultimate xight-of-way,
Mr~ Livingstm again appeared before ~'~e Commission and stated the proposed service station
known as the hacienda-type would have a red tile roof, used brick exterior, and the metal
being used would be simulated woodo
The Commission inquired whether the petitioner would stipulate to construction of a hacienda-
' type service station as was indicated, to which Mro Livingston replied that if the Corr,mission
required this, he would so stipulatee
No one appeared in opposition to subject petitione
THE HEARING WAS CLOSEDa
~ Commissioner P.erry offered Resolution No, 1870, Series 1965-66, and moved for its passage
and adoption, secondad by Commissioner Herbst, to grant Petition for Conditional Use Permit
No., 790, subject to relocation of the service station structure to take into consideration
the ultimate widening of La Palma Avenue to a 53-foot half width, and the construction of a
ttacienda-type structure with a red tile roof, exterior of used brick, and with simulated

REQUIRED REAR YARD, Agent; :equesting WAIVERS OF (1) MINIMUM REC~UIRED FRQdT YARD, (2) MINIMUM
(3) MINIMUM LOT WIDTH, AND (4) MINIMUM LOT ARER on property described as:
A rectangularly shaped parcel of land wit}i a frontage of approximately 112 feet on the east
side of Western Avenue and having a maximum depth of approximately 276 feet, the southerly
boundary of subject property being approximately 549 feet north of the centerline of Ball
Road, and further described as 844 South Western Avenue, to develop subject prooerty with
i feur single-family residential lots. Property presently classified R-A, AGRICULTURAL, Z~IE~
~
~ Mr. Stanley Rosen, the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated the agent was
unable to attend the hearing; that in theory the proposed variance was cimilar to the request
for develapment of an apartment house, at which time opposition was expressed by both the
Commission and the property owners adjacent to subject property; that because of the size and
~ shape of the parcel, it was physir,ally impossible to develop the property similarly to the
adjoining homes because the price of the hcme would have to be in the neighborhood of $80,000
to $100,000; that Western Avenue was beir.g expan9ed to a fcu~•-lzne street; that a dedicated and
improved half street could be required to provide access to subject property's four lots,
and additional dedication could be acquired at the time the parcel to the south was developed;
and that the proposed development H•as a reasonable request subject to the conditions recom-
mended by the Interdepartmental Committeeo
~ When the Commission reviewed the plansy it was r~oted the
~ 25-foot private drive, whereas the plot plan indicated a 20 foot drive, a d inqui ed why
a difference, te which Mre Rosen replied that the designer had indicated a 25-foot drive
~ could be developeda
The Commission al.so informed Mr, Rosen that the City of Anaheim did not accept dedication
of a half street.
Mr~ Rosen stated that the adjoining parcel to the south would eventually develop, and then
' the balance of the half street could be provided; that the proposed 25-foot road would be
an easement aad the plot plan could be amended to indicate 25 feet; further, in response
_ to Commissi.on questioning, that although the access road would be a private street, he had
discussed with the trash pick••up company the possibility of pick-up along the private street
* and was informed this could be accomplished with a 25-foot streeto Further, that the homes
-+~ would be individually sold, and in the grant deed it could be indicated maintenace of the
private street would be a requirement of the purchase of the home,
MINUTES, GIIY PLAAfNING COMMISSION, December 6, 1965 284g
VARIANCE N0~ 1751 - Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that s;.:eet cieaning
(Continued)~ by the City was not available to private streets and alleys, as a
Council policyo
~. ,i ~
Conside*able discussion was then held by the Commission and the petitioner relative to the
proposed private streetg the fact that the petitionei was oroposing substandard lotsy that
a similar development had been inspected by the Commission on the west side of Western
Avenue, north of subject property, and the refuse and debris, together with the excessive
amount of asphalt, made the four-unit development undesirableq that the proposed sub-
division of subject property would be detrimental to the existing residences in close
proximity to subject propertyg that the proposed development was similar to an apartment
development; tk~at the Commission could not consider that the property to the south of
subject property would develop in the near future in order to consider requiring a half
st*eetq that private maintenance of the proposed private drive could not be assured; and
that potential home buyers were of +.he opir.ion that street cleaning was a service pr~vided
by the City~
Mr~ M~. McGaughy, 910 South Western Avenue, property owner adjacent to the south of subject
F*operty, stated he was not in opposition to the petitioner's attempt to develop subject
property, but iegardless of the method of development, it was still considered muitiple-
family development; that single-family residences were developed for some distance to the
north, east and south of subject prope:ty; that he had resided at his present address for
more than ten yea~s, and it was hoped he would stili be at his present address for an addi-
tional ten years; that the proposed subdivision of subject property ~aould be detrimentai to
the single-family residentiai integrity of the area; that no physical change had taken place
in the area to warrant consideration of substandard lots which could be considered muitipl2-
family developmen.t; that the petiti.oner was requesting five v~:iances from code to permit
the proposed subdivision; and that regardless of who handied the property as the developer,
! the residents presently living therey and the prospective owners of subject p:operty, woulc~
; have to contend with substandard developmento
Mr~ T~ C, Donovan, 855 South Western Nvenue, appeared before the Commission in opposition
and stated the proposed development could be considered a m~:ltiple-family residential
development and would not be an jsset to the area; that he resided across the streec from
subject prnpe=ty and had a large~, deep lot ir, which he took great F::de in maintaining as
did the other residents in the rea; that the residents of the area should not be subjected
to undesirable development in wiich there was a possibility of non-maintenance of a private
drive; and that subject property c,ould be developed with two sir.gle-family homes, rather
than dividing it into four s~~~;tandard lots„
A showing of hands indicated six persons present in the Council Chamber opposing subject
petition.,
A~L*. Roseny in rebuttaly stated he did not feel a 55•-foot wide ?ot with a depth of 275 feet
would be an ideal arrangement for developing subject property; that the homes then would
face Western Avenue which wou?d be subjected to heavy traffic; that most of the homes in
the area did not face Western Avenue; that large rear yards were not used as they formerly
were, and it was difficult to maintain such large, deep lots; furthermore, it was proposed
to have a 1,600 square foot home on the propertyY and this could not be considered multiple-
fami~y residential development.
THE HEARING WRS CLOSED.
Mro Daws 3.n respor,se to Commission questioning, stated the minimum turning radi.us for fire
and trast. trucks was 27 feet9 although for trash trucks a cul-de-sac street 38 feet from
curb to curb radius was necessary in order that the truck need not back out from the rear
of the cul-de-saco
Commissioner Perry noted that in developing certain odd-sha~ed lots in the Hill and Canyon
Area because of topography, "flag lots" were approved, and that perhaps subject property
could be developed by subdividing into two parcels and providing a narrow, pan-handle
fronting on Western Avenue to gain access to the rear of the ~~roperty.,
Commissioner Camp noted that if the petitioner of subject property would prove up on the
reclassification to the R-1 Zone, a planned residential development under the R-1 standards
could be deueloped, and the Commission should recognize t:~is fact~
It was aiso noted by the Commission t;~at if subject petition wei•e approved, this would
permit a private drive with substanda:d lots and the City would not be able to furnish
adequate trash collection and fire protection because it would not be using a private driveo

VARIMCE N0~ 1751 - Discussion was then heid by the Comnission re:ative to an R-1 PRD and
(Continued) the fact that a conditionai use ~~ermit was necessary to permit a
PRD on subject property~
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the Commission the purpose of the conditional
use permit in a planned residential development was ta grant waiver of the standard access
and *eview by the City of plans of development to permit less than a standard 60-foot streeto
Commissioner Herbst offered a motion to deny Petition for Variance Noo 1751, seconded by
Commissioner Rowland~
The petitioner then reouested that the Commission reconsider subject petition by continuin9
the petition in order that revised plans incorporatinq the suggestions made by the Commission
miyht be s~mitted~
After considerabie discussion re'_ative to the means of developing subject property., and
whether a co~ditional use permit shouid be advertised, Comn~issioners Nerbs•t and Rowland

Mr„ Leon3rd Smith, agent fo: Lhe petitione~, appeared befo:e the Corrnission and reviewed
the proposed development9 noting that the existing structsre wouid be removed and a new
structure would be constructedg that coR~re*cial developmer:t was occ~~rrinq aiong Anaheim
Roulevard, on which subject property sided; that r.o act~~al cleaning or washing of clothing
was proposed on subject property - the purpose of the structure would be for the pick-up
and delivery of the cleaned garmen*s; tbat the p:oposed st.ucture was utiiizing the best
manner of dev~loping subject p~operty because of a•~ailab=e spa~e since the proposed widen-
ing of Anaheim Boulevard would drastically reduce the size of the lot; that although a
parking waive; was requested, it was feit that wider spaces would be more desirable for
the customers and lengthy p3rking would not be necessarv because of a d:ive-up service
window; tha.t if the Commission requestec it, ~ six.•-foot m~;son~y wall would be constructed
along the ~orth and west property lines- however9 it was impractic~l to construct the six-
foot masonry wall along the south property line and it was _equested a waiver of that require-
mentg that the driveway space on the westeriy property line was 17 feet which was adequate for
two cars to pass; that the height of the structure was on:y 14 feet, but because it was desir-
ous to hide the air-ccnditioning facilities, a parapet wall was constructed which increased
the width of the structure; that he was unaware additional dedication would be required on
Valencia Street; a~d that there would be no noise and dust from the proposed commercial
development which would anr,oy the other residents in the areaa
Mro Henry Mang, 107 MacArthur Manor, appeared before the Commission in opposition to subject
petition and prese~ted a petition signed by 41 property owners of Tract No.> 1194 of wt~ich
subject property was a part, stating these property owners were opposed to commexcial use
of subject property because this was considered spot zoning by the Commission in the past;
that the proposed commezcial structure and its uses would create noise and dust, the noise
coming from anp air-conditioning facilities; and that the Commission should consider the
opposition to the proposed development by denyin9 subject petition.

1999g that 98a of the tract has heen maintained as single-family homes,
ar.d there wa~ no reason for app=ovinc a corrn,ercial request for subject

development for subject property,
Mre Albert Clancy~ 100 West Va~encia Avenue, appeared before the Cortanissior, and stated
that when he kad moved to Anaheim ~.e thought it was the most beautiful city in the world,
ard a12 ihe neighbu;s in the trtict had maintained thai~ properties; that he had spent
considerable money in beautifyirg hi; hoi;e, which was directiy across the street from sub-

is in accor.d with the Generai Plan Residential u;e couid serve to supply the customers
needed for retail business downtowr~ and wouid help to balance '.he land uses in the
downtown ar.ea~ Comparative=y high land prices make this iand use unlikelya
3~ Commercia~ nffice use: C~^siderable downtown area is devoted to F:opo;ed commercial
professional Land use on the General Flan, In the Phase II _eport from Uictor Gruen
A~ssociates, it is indicated that a lar9e area should be assigned to commercial office
uses~ T;~ese two blocks a:e located southeast of the important intersection of Broad-
~Nay and Harbar Houlevard. They are aiso located direciiy across Harbor Boulevard
from the new City Libra:y and Police Headquarters, This iocation appears to be
E~minently suitable fcr high auaiity commercial office use and as such would be more
campatibie with Civic Centez development than medium density residentiai land use~
There are other,•more satisfactozy residentiai locations in the Cent:al Busine~s
District i.n quieter, more secluded surroundings,
4~ Public or semi-public use: Public uses including a cultural center would be permitted
uses in thE C-0 Zoning District or could be handled with a Conditional Use Permi*, where
the specific use is found to be both desirable and compatible in the Civic Center A:eao
5~ Low density residential use: Further use of these properties for low density residen-
tial is no longer a suitable or an economic use in these two blocks~
Exhibit "A" shows several features of the two blocks~ The property lines shown are so
ir*egular that it would be very difficult to provide an}~ reasonable secondary access
aliey within the blocks, In this Civic Center Area, any new development should cer-
tainly be above the Code required 20y000 square foot minimum parcel site, Since the
:argest existing single parcel (two lots) in the two blocks contains only 14,750 square

feet, it is obvious that land assembly is necessary to comply with Code requirements~
Ali possible effort should be made to encourage assembly of lots into much larger
parcels, since quality of development so often appears to bear a direct relationship
to site sizeo It is to be hoped that any new development in these blocks will be on
a scale comparable to the civic development to the west across Harbor Boul~~~ardo
Developrtient a£ an entire block would not require a secondary access. If we were to
let ourseivesgo and dream, we might even conceive of a development of this area in
which both blocks would be used or even a development in which both blocks and part or
all of the next two blocks to the east might be involved~ Development on such a grand
style would then logically result in possibie street vacation and possible street
relccation>
~
Recommendations:
It is recommended that the Commercial Office potential of these two blocks be recognized
and that they therefore be reclassified in their entirety to C-0, Commercial Office Zoning
District,
At the conclusion of Mr~ Nutto`s presentatien, the Commission inquir ed the reason for
proposing C-1, General Commercial, Zone for subject property, to which Mr~ Nutto stated
this was proposed in the event the Commission decided alternative uses would be desirable
for subject property; that no existing right-of-way to form a secondary access was avail-
able; that assembly of several parcels was enc9uraged in order to provide setondary access;
and that although C-1, General Com,r.ercial, Zone was advertised, it was recommended by the
staff that the Commission consider the C-0, Commercial Office, Zone as being the most
appropriate zone for subject prope:ties..
Mr~ Ralph Maas, 207 Camino San Ciemente, San Clemente, owne: of the property at the south-
east corner of Harbor Boulevard and B:oadway, appeared before the Commission and stated he
had purchased that property tweive years ago, long before the iik :~y and pol?ce department
were considered t'or the area on the west side of yarbo: Boulevard, be.'ore the school had
purchased the ten acres to the :ear of the :ibraryx that i-om the conunents made by the staff,
it seemed it was recoccuriended a high-class development wouid 'oe the most appropriate for
subject properties, but that it took money to build an entire block, and he had not been
approached by anyone fo,: possibie land assembiy of his property; that it was undeterrrined
whether or not the CitK Hall would be located on the west side of Harbor Boulevard between
the library and the police department which would be the basic reason for proposing the
C-0 Zone, and the bank locating where it was; that he had inquiries from banks, building
and loan companies and service station companies relative to his property, but when it was
determined the C-0 Zone was necessary, this discouraged them from consider~ng his property;
that at no time had he had any remorse in the type of structures he had ~roposed and developed;
that if subject property were considered for C-0 rather than the C-1 Zone as had been adver-
tised, this wou,ld reduce the potential of resale of their properties; that £rom the experiences
of a large office building in the center of the city, commercial office use of subject property
could not be supported~ that he was willing to give dedication for his property if he could
have zoning on whi.ch be could realize a return for his investment; and that he felt he could
not wait ar:cther twenty years for ultimate development of the propertye
The Commission iadicated to Mr, Maas that some time ago the Commission had considered
establishing a civic district ir order to protect development in the area in close proximity
to the new police de~artment and library, whereupon N~, Maas stated the Ci~y. c.ould still
control the type of structures for those properties under consideration; that.some temporary
use of the propertiescould have beer. afforded with a time :i:itatien a±ta=hed in the event develcp-
ment took place in the area in order that the property owners could realize some income from
their properties until such time as the C-0 Zone was needed; and that his age, 71, he did not
feel he could remain alive long enough to realize the potential gain of his property,
Mro Aernard Jordan, 1132 Park Avenue, Vice President and Manager of the United California Bank
at the northeast corner of Broadway and Hzrbor Boulevard, appeared before the Commission and
stated he was not representing or speaking in behalf of the bank, but as a pTivate citizen;
that he had been interested in urban renewal problems of the downtown Anaheim area for eight ye~s
and was the first committee chairman appointed by the Chamber of Commerce and was presently
serving his secnnd term as chairman of that committee, although he was not speaking for the
Chamt>er of Commerce at this hearing; that a great deal of time, study, and money went into
the purchase of the old Marywood School property when the bank decided to buy it; that a
great deal of discussion was held with Mre Richard Reese, then Planning Director of the City,
the City Manager, Mr, Keith Murdoch, the former Mayor, Rex Coons, the City Attorney, and the
present Mayor of the City cf Anaheim, prior to the purchase of their land; that it was no

secret it was the bank's desire to continue the development of the balance of the bank

*}.~ present date and.1980 for 1~ r~iliion squa.re feet of new office building structures,
750,000 square feet.of which was needed ir, the Center City Area; that the bank had been
. discu~sing with various developers and construction firms for the development of the
~~~ balance of the bank`s property at the ea:liest possible moment; that as an individual
•i interested in the urban r=newal development program, he had repeatedly stated the City
could not axpect outsiders to do t;,e work of the represent~ti•res of the City since it
.~~ was necessary for the ci~izer.s of th: Cit `o

i ±hat t.ii, wa; the reason the bank pu:cha;ed twice the amount of pruperty necessa_y since
it was felt, and hoped, this would provide a catalyst for deveiopmer,t of the area and
starting it as a civic center; that he agreed with Mr, Maas !hat there was no indication

before the Comrrission and sia~ed she aiso o~wned pzoperty at 313 and 315 South Helena Street

~ ~ The Com^~ission advised Mrs. Englebrecht tha! since the R-3 Zone was stilA in ef.'ect on the
''~ ~ property oi which she spoke, tne buiider had every right to construct a Four-Niex, provided
1 it was in keeping wit'r, ali the rc,~irements of the R-3 Zone.
i Mzs, Englebrecht then stated her client had paid $42,000 :or his property, which was more
:i i, per sauare foot than the bank property at cost, and she was mainly concerned w:th the status
1 I of all properties in the area with the p:oposed C-0 Zone and the existing R-3 Zone,
'
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thorrpson stated the CoTrrission could :ecommend an urgency
ordinance to the C-0 Zone, and aii the owner of subject property needed was to apply for a
building permit and develop in acco:dance with the R-3 Si*e Deveiopment Standards,
Chsirman b;ungail requested that Deputy City Attorney ?~urman Roberts explain what the State
Code provided as far as civic centers were conce:ned
Mr~ Roberts ther read from the State Code what was permitted by cities in close proximity
to a civic district, further stating the Commission had previously considered the civic
district when it was presented ty Mr~ Rees: however, the Commission did not, at that time,
adopt the civic center or civic district b,.t held it in abeyance, based on the fact it was
not the most appropriate time to consider a civic district..
Mr~ Maas then asked whether the commitment of the present City Council relative to the City
Hall being piaced on the site between the police department and the library would hold if
new councilmen were elected in the future, since it was quite possible it could be located
directly across the street from the existing City Hall --- however, Mr~ Jordan of the United
California Bank must have thought of that when the bank was located at its present address
at the northeast corner of Harbor and Broadway~

that the land use was in accordance with the proposed Hili and Canyon Generai Plan; that
Mr~ Krieger, of the Planning Division, had attended a subdivision committee meeting with the
Orange County Planning Department to present the City of Anaheim's street standards for the
Peralta Hills area; that the City`s R-E Zone had been revised, and the changes noted for the
subdivision committee's benefit; that when the Commission, on September 27, 1965, had recom-
mended approval of the tract map, the City did not have adopted street standards for the
Peralta Hills; and that since these standards were now established the Commission might wish
to consider these standards in any action they would take regarding subject tract~
Discussion was held by the Commission relative to the difference in the street standards
teing proposed on the present revision of subject tract, and the fact that City's standards
establish a 40-foot right-of-way with a 28-foot paving strip for travel lanes, whereas the
County tract proposed a 45-foot cross section.
Mro Thompson also advised the Cor,mission that since annexation proceedings for the Peralta
Hills area was in process, and subject property was a portion of said area, the Commission
may wish to recommend to the City Council that in order to provide for greater flexibility
