Mre Harry Knisely, attorney acting for the agent for the petitioner, appeared before the
Commission and reviewed the proposed new concept of a planned residential development
oriented to young, single, adult people; that the land use had been estabiished for multiple-
family resideniial development on subject property in the approval of a previous reclassifica-
tion; that the City would not be setting a precedent for similar uses throughout the City
because one had already been es+ ;;hed on West Lincoln Avenue, west of Brookhurst Street;
that the proposed development ~ ~ow take care of a third segment of the population,
namely the single, young adul. •. ~outhern California had provided for the elderly by
such developments as Leisure N, .nd Sun City, and the family man was also provided with
single-famil~• homes and apartm~ with three and four bedrooms; however, the needs of the
single person were entirely diifi ~nt, and all that was necessary was a small apartment
furnished in impeccable taste and adequate recrea~zon facilities with a club°like surrounding.

MrNUTES, CITY PLANNING COrv,n~ISSION, February 16, 1966 2919
CONDITIONAL USE - Mro Knisely also stated that Mra Hogeman, founder and presi~dent of
PERMIT N0~ 802 the Never on Friday Club; would be available to answer questions
after the staff presented slides of the existing development in
VARIANCE N0~ 1757 Torrancea
(Continued)
.4ssociate Planner Jack Ghristofferson presented colored slides of a
similar facility in the city of Tcrrance, wnich indicated both the
outside and the ir,side views, together with court views and views of the dinit~g area and
the recreational facilities.
Mro Knisely then stated the pictures indicated what was proposed for subject property;
that the development in Torrance was completed in March of 1965 and was 100% occupied
with a waiting list for membership in the club; that the residents of the small apartments
had pride of ownership or residence, because after almost a year of occupancy, the apart-
ments were almost spotless, and that the development offered the young, single adults a
place to meet and have social times, rather th~,~ a tavern,:or companionship, and a large
space was not necessary as long as the furnish~ngs provided a high quality living
environment~
Mr., Knisely then stated he had circulated a petition among the various hotel and motel
areas around Disneyland who indicated the type and quality of persons who would be resid-
ing in the proposed development would be an asset to the community.
The brochure presented to the Commission was also reviewed by Mro Knisely which indicated
the minimum age of inembership was 21, and the maximum age was 36 years; that the salaries
of the people involved were over $675 a month per male occupant and over $450 per female
occupant; that those residents in the Torrance development had an average of 303 years of
college, with many of them having Masters Degrees and some were working for their poctorate
Degreeso
Mr, Richard Hogeman, 6718 East Ocean Avenue, Long Beach, appeared before the Commission and
stated~the "Never on Friday Club" had a 24,000 membership, the club having been started in
Long Beach and had many branches throughout Southern California; that the California theme
type of club was proposed to provide good clean fun for single people in an orderly fashion,
starting with Friday dances at the better hotels at which suit and tie were required, and
various similar types of entertainment throughout Southern California, and this had now been
extended into a travel program and recently into the living facilities type of club, since
a great demand had been evidenced by requests at the headquarters; that a full•-time soci~l
director would be employed; that the club activities would be constantly supervised; that
its success had been proven by the amount of publicity and coverage in magazines and tele-
vision; that the reason Anaheim had been selected was because Orange County had a member-
ship of between 7,000 and 8,000 people and of that membership 3,000 to 4,000 in the general
area being considered for the new d2velopment; that the new location was ideal because of
other entertainment activities within close proximity; that his connection with the project
would be mar~agement, and he had had considerable experience within the last three years
supervising the membership oi 24,000 young people; that many of the hotel management people
had complimented the membership of the "Never on Friday Club" because of their behavior in
group participation of sociai events, and this was due to the fact that the membership was
limited to mature adults and was constantly under supervisione
Mr. Hogeman, in response to Commission questioninq, stated he had been contracted for the
proposed development as manager for a specified time; that after a member hsd reached the
maximum age of 36, he was not automatically asked to resign because age, after all, wo~.ld
take care of participation in the activities the club provided; that the undesirables were
generally v~eeded out; that the club was not concern~d with the "urder 21" group because
they were mu~e irresponsible, and at various functions guards were at the entrance to check
identification, and anyone under 21 would not be allnwed to participate in these functions;
ihst an attempt had been made to establish a standard, and if inembers met this standard,
they were permitted to remain regardless of whether or not they were 36; and aithough they
had two married couples in the membership, this was rare because marsied couples usually
had other interests after marriage; and that he wished, again, to stress the fact that proper
management of the proposed development would reassure any qualms the Commission might have
about the operation of the proposed development.
Mr. Knisely again appeared before the Commission and si;ated that although Mro Hogeman had
not mentioned that he had not originally started out to provide living facilities for the
"Never on Friday Club", this was an end result o_' demands from the members, and that authori-
ties and sociologists concur the type of environment proposed was healthy, and a psychiatrist
from the City of Orange had made ti~e trip to Torrance with the ciCy staff to view the project
there and had recommended it as a good mental therapy,

CONDITIONAL USE - Commissioner Rowland exprESSed concern regarding the possibxlity of
PERMIT f90~ 802 a change in management which would render the proposed ~eveiopmert
somewhat ineffective because the success of the developr,.~nt was based
' VARIANCE NO., 1757 on proper management.

THE HEARING WAS CIASEDe
The Commission noted that the Report to the Commission had indicated a shortage of parking
. spaces, and sinc~ young people had cars of their own, this would indicate a shortage of 34
~:~ units to that permissible under the R-3 Code; that adequate parking should be provided
'; because of the number of people who would be using the facilities.
I
;-~; Mra Knisely stated that members ~vere permitted to have only one 9uest at a time at the
~' recreational facilities, and that an additional 20 feet had been acqui.red since the peti-
tion had heen submitted to the Commission which would provide for additional parkingo It
'i was also noted that in the subterranean parking garages the gzrages did not have pos*,s,
~ so that the 9-foot, 4-inch by 20•-foot parking spaces were readily accessible and easil•;•
:,~ maneuveTed; furthermore, some places had tandem parkinge
~~~ , Commissioner Gamp indicated he had had an opportunity to visit the Torrance facility, and
he had particularly noticed the parking structure, noting that one :ide of the parking
:1 I structure was providing tandem parking, or one car behind the other, and that some spaces
had a car and a boat stored there~
A discussion was held by the Commission regarding 1) whether or not the proposed use could
be considered an R-3 land use or a hotel operation; 2) adequate parking within Code require-
ments if it was determined to be an R-3 land use; 3) the success of the propc;ed operation
was dependent upon good management; 4) whether cr not the bachelor~-type apartments, if not
successful, would turn into substandard R-3 dwelling units; 5) possibiiity that the proposed
use could fill a void for more homogenous residential environment for single people; 6)
location of the proposed use within the periphery of the Commercial-Recreation Nrea ba~king
onto school grounds and having motels to the north and south of it would not set a precedent
for similar requests in the City; 7) basic concern of the Commission as to iand use i,, com-
pliance with Code pa*king requirements~
Commissioner Camp stated he had had the same misgivings as some of the other Commissionere;
however, after having visited the Torrance project and reviewing its method of ope~ation,
he was of the opinion that project was one of the finest types of development and ma~egement
he had ever seen; that the land use in the area had been established by ~ previ~» s resolu-
tion of intent, and whether it was a hotel or motel operation, it wuuld s,.?11 :it into the
Commercial-Recreation Area - however, he also felt more parking should !e provi.ded, and then
inquired of the attorney for the petitioners whether or ~ot they could pro~~ide more pa.king.
Mro Knisely, after consultation witn his clients, stated that parking in accordance with
the R-3 Code requirements could be met for off-street parking, or 310 par':ing spaces for
248 units.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the Commission that it was his opinion the
conditianal use permit was the appropriate vehicle for the proposed use; however, the
variance was necessary for the building site area and commercial uses of two unite sirce
these were not permitted by authority of Section 18.64.070, and that the conditi~nal uses
permitted boarding houses, fraternities, and sororities which had similar connotations
as the proposed use - however, the use could not be considered a motel-hotel use since
their definition indicated a transient use of the rooms for short periods of stay.
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission he wishes to stress the r~quiremen`. of
a 60-foot wide dedicated street rather than the 54-foot wide street propose~ in order that
parking lanes could be provided along said streeto
Commissioner Perry offered Resolution Noa 1933, Series 1965-66, and moved for i,.s passage
and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Camp, to grant Petition for Conditional Use Permit
Noa 802, sub;;ect to conditions and the requirement that parking be in accordance with t.i,~~

CONDITIONAL USE - PUELIC HEARING, GARY MC CONNELL, 2742 West Orangethorpe Avenue, Suite M,
PERMIT NOo 807_ Fullerton, California, Owner; requesting permission to ESTABLISH TWO
WALK-UP RESTAURANTS on property described as: A rectangularly shaped
parcel of land with a frontage of approximately 146 feet on the south
side of Ball Road and having a maximum depth of approximately 276 feet, the westerly boundary
of subject property being approximately 205 feet east of the centerline of Dale Avenue~
Property presently classified C-1, GENERRL COMMERCIAL, ZONE.
Mr. Gary McConnell, the petitioner, appeared befcre the Commission and ieviewed the proposed
development, noting that Winchell's Donut House h.~d leased the proposed structures and would
operate a donut shop in one structure and would sublease the other structure for a taco
r.estaurant; that the food served by the taco restaurant was not prepared on the premises
and only had to be heai:ed on steam tables - therefore there was no necessity for large
kitchen facilities; and that tF,e property now had excess fill from the service station at
the southeast corner of Dale Av~nue and Ball Road which wouid have to be removed when con-
struction began.
The Commission noted t.hat the proposed elevations of the two restaurants were very dissimilar
and ,.ould not be an asset to the new ft-3 development to the east because of the architecture
and color proposed; that the uses proposed wouid add traffic to the residential cevelopment
to the east; furthermore, the hours of operation mia~t be detrimental to the peace and health
of the residents of the area.
The petitioner noted that the caco restaurant would have hours of operation from 11:00 A.M.
to 11:00 PoM~ and the donut shop would open earli?r, and that the R-3 development was oriented
to the street to the east and backed up to subj ~ property.
The l;ommission further noted that the petitioner was proposing two 13-foot drives within 2~0
feet of Dale Avenue, which the Traffic Engineer recommended for one curb opening only; that
there was a possibility the property to the rear would become landlocked; and that subject
petition and the subse~uent petition would propose three restaurants on a one-acre parcel -
said usas did not seem to be the highest and best use for subject property~
Zoning ~ervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that the C-1 Zone site development
~ standa- . required screen planting where adjacent to residential uses, and three feet ~f
~ landsc~;~.,. on the Ball Road frantage, plus 2% in the parking area.

~ONDITIGNAL USE - Commissioner Rowland expressed concern ihat the combined usP:~ of subject
PERMIT N0~ 807 property would create a hardship in the development of the rear portion
(Continued) for compatible uses, and the proposed uses did not seem t~ be architectur-
ally compatible.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petitione
THE HEARING WAS CIASED.
~
.
Commissioner Herbst offered a motio~ to deny Petition for Conditional Use Permit No, 807,
based on the fact that the location of the structures was not the best design and might be
detrimental to the area; that the location of the buildings would landlock the rear portion
of the property, making it difficult for any future development of the area; and that the
proposed development would create a problem for the health and welfare of the residential
development to the easte Commissionex Perry seconded the motion.
After a considerable discussion by the Commission a vote was taken by all Commissioners
present to deny subject petitiono
-.~
Discussion was then again held, and after w~ighing all the factors involved, all Commissioners
H~ithdrew their votes of denial and directed that the petitioner consult with the Plannin9
Staff and have his designer submit revised plans which would be more compatible to the area;
furthermore, development should consist of proposed structures for the rear portion so that
a landlocked parcel did not exist.
Commissioner Perry offered a motion to reopen the hearing and continue Petition for Condi-
tional Use Permit No. 807 to the meating of March 14, 1966, in order to allow the petitioner
time to submit revised plans incorporating all the recommendations made by the Commission,
Commissioner Herbst secorided the motion. M~TION CARRIED.
CONDITIONAL USE - PUBLIC HEARING. GARY MC f:ONNELL, 2742 West 0*angethorpe Avenue, Suite M,
PERMIT_N0~ 808_ Fullerton, Caiifornia, Owner; requesting permission to ESTABLISFI A
RESTAURANT WITH ON-SALE LIQUOR (BEER) on property described as: A
rectangularly shaped parcel of land with a frontage of approximately
146 feet on the south side of Ball Road and having a maximum depth of approximately 276
feet, the westerly boundary of subject property being approximately 205 feet east of the
centerline of Dale Avenue~ Property presently classified C-1, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, ZONE.
Mr, Gary McConnell, the owner, appeared before the Commission and stated that subject
petition was a third restaurant proposed for subject property; that he would attempt to
~ reach a cooperative agreement with the service station to the west in order to provide
~ for circulation to Dale Avenue for the southerly portion of subject property, and inquired
y of the Comrission what their recommendations were regarding the proposed development..
t
i The Commission advised the petitioner to revise plans that would incorporate a 21-foot
center drive, indicate screen planting ~djacent to the R-3 development to the east, provide
for the minimum required landscaping along the dall Road frontage, submission of revised
plans which indicated the floor plan which the Commission was unable to note in the plans
presented to the Commission, and further consideration of the parcel to the rear of the
three restaurants so that the property southerly would not be considered landlock 9, there-
by being detrimental to the balance of the area,
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that a six-foot masonry wall already
existed on the R-3 property; therefore there was no need for an additional wall - however,
the screen landscaping would be necessary.
Comn,_.:~s~c~ier Perry off?red a motion to continue the hearing of Petitior for Conditional Use
Permi'; IJ-?, 808 to the meeting of March 14, 1966, in order to allow the petitioner time to

_ Commissioner Camp returned to the Council Chamber at 3:25 P~M.
-=~;~ Mre Harry Knisely, attorney representing the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and
!~ , stated that upon reviewing the pxoposed development and subject property, he had contacted
i~ the petitioner and advised him the plans as submitted would not be acceptable, and the
I petitioner agreed that wnat was proposed was not representative of what he had planned,
and, therefore, requested the Commission continue subject petition for four weeks for the
i submission of revised plans.
Two letters of opposition were read to the Commission.
Mra Don Hohenhaus, cwner of property at 129-B Winston Road, appeared before the Commission
and stated that one of the letters of opposition was from him, which stated the intended
use of the building at the time it was erected was for commercial uses, and the proposed
use would not be compatible with the area in which it was proposed to be located since
there was no chanye in the land use in the area to justify the proposed use; that the
proposed hofbrau or similarly licensed premises would adversely affect the adjoining land
use and would be detrimental to the peace, safety, and genera? welfare of the adjoining
residents, and that he was sure the Commission's decision would reflect the best judgment
for use of subject property.
"A*s~ Margaret E, Lenney, 139 Winston Road, appeared before the Commission in opposition
to the proposed hofbrau, stating that although all of the property east of Iris Street
was zoned for commercial uses, it was developed for apartments which were rented by elderly
people; that the proposed hofbrau was located in a residential area, and the normal opera-
tion of the premises would interfere with the residential integrity of the area; that the
~~, proposed use would increase traffic on the street and would be dan3erous to the children,
_ ranging in age from kindergarten to high school who used the crosswalk at Winston Road and
_ Iris Street, as well as waiting at that corner for their school bus; that many elderly
people also utilized this crosswalk going to the market; that the petitioner was proposing
a waiver of the number of parking spaces, and since this area was already overburdened with
a shortage of parking spaces, this would mean customers of the tavern would park in front
of the apartments which would g:eatiy inconvenience their tenants; that the apartments on
Winston Road were one story, low-density, beautifully landscaped, garden-type apartments;
that a more logical location for the proposed use would be approximately two blocks south
of Winston Road on Anaheim Boulevard and not located in a residential area; that the apart-
ments on Guinida Lane had so~ne of their bedrooms within 20 feet of the proposed use which
would be detrimental to the health of the residents because of the hours of operation of
i the proposed use; and that although she agreed that a petitioner had to have some rights,
I the proposed use would be detrimental to the other residents and property owners in the areao
Copies of the petitions of the various property owners along Iris Street and Winston Road
were submitted for the petition file, said petitions having been addressed to the Dep~rt-
ment of Alc~:holic Beverage Control opposing the proposed hofbrau within 350 feet of Paul
Revere School~
Commissioner Camp cffered a motion to continue the t;~aring of Petition for Conditional Use
Permit No. 809 to the meeting of March 14, 1966, in order to ailow the petitioner time to

CANDITIONAL USE - PUBLIC HEARING. LAWRENCE A. MUCKENTHALER, ET AL, 1530 Avalencia,
PERMIT NOW811 Fullerton, California, Owner; FRED TINTHOFF, 2100 East Pacific Coast
Highway, Wilmington, California, Agent; requesting permission to ESTABLISH
A SERVICE SI'ATION WITHIN 75 FEET UF R-A, AGRICULTURAL~ ZONED PROPERTY AND
NOT AT THE INTERSECTION OF'IWO ARTERIAL STREETS on property described as~: An irregularly
sheped parcel of land situated at the northwest corner of Loara Street and Crescent Avenue,
and having frontaqes of approximately 150 feet on Loara Street and aHproximately 151 feet
on Crescent Avenue. Property presently classified C-1, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, ZONE.
Mr., Lawrence Muckenthaler, the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated he
had sold a portion of his property for the postoffice to the north; that he had set his
sights high to establish a commercial development which would be complimentary to the area;
that the service station would not genprate any more traffic than was already evidenced by
the shopping center on the opposite side of the street; that service stations were now being
built everywhere,and the architecture would be compatible and acceptable to the area in which
it was proposed to be located; that he plannec~ for additional development for the vacant
parcels to the north and west of subject property - however, it was felt a service station
was a good investment for the northwest corner of Crescent and Loara.,
A letter of opposition was read to the Commission opposing the proposed service station
site adjacent to developed properties, with the feeling that the service station would be
a detrimental use for the area and was not the highest and best use for the property.
Mr. Muckenthaler, in rebuttal, stated he had sold the property to the man opposing the
service statior, site, and that his property was located approximately 300 feet from the
proposed site.
Commissioner Rowland was of the opinion there was no demonstrated need for service stations
on a residential street; that the street known as Loara Street was primarily residential
northerly of Crescent Avenue, as well as on the easterly side, southerly of Crescent; that
streets which were not designed for commercial arer~s were not construct~d to provide for
commercial traffic, and in keeping with the Commission's policy which was stated in the
service station st~ndard requiremen~s, service stations should be loca+ed at the intersec-
tion of two arterials, whereas Loaia Street was considered a collector street~
Commissioner Rowland offered Resolution Noe 1937, Series 1965-66, and moved for its passage
and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Herbst, to deny Petition for Conditional Use Permit
No~ 811, based on the fact that the Code raquires service stations be located at the inter-
section of two arterials, whereas Loara Street north of Crescent Avenue was a collector
street; that the use would be established in close proximity t.o numerous residential uses
and would be detrimental to the development of adjacent properties for commercial purposes
such as had been estabiished in the area since the proposed service station would establish
an undesirable traffic hazard because of its close proximity to the residential uses and
the school~ (See Resolution Buoko)

RESTAURANT WITH ON-SALE BEER AND WAIVER OF MINIMUM REQUIRED PARKING SPACES
on property described as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land bounded on the north by
Glenwood Avenue, on the west by East Street, and on the south by Sycamore Street, and having
a maximum depth of approximately 243 £eet as measured from East Stree~. Property presently
classified C-1, GENERAL CAMMERCIAL, ZONE~
Mr, VJilliam Findley, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated
he was available to answer questions.
The Commission reviewed the plans and noted the petitioner would have to dedicate ~:dditional
footage in order to comply with the recent amendment to the Circulation Element of the General
Plan, and inquired of Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson whether or not there would be adequate
building setback.
Mra Thompson stated that because of the request for additional dedication, and the fact that
subject property was already being developed for the reclassification it was approved for, an
8-foot building setback from East Street was ail that was now being proposed, whereas it was
originally 20 feet.
Comm°_ssioner Camp stated that because of the change in City policy relative to street widen-
ing, waiver of the parking spaces in subject petition was necessary because the street widen-
ing reduced the number of parking spaces originally proposed~
Mrs, Randy Smith, 618 Elmwood Street, appeared before the Commission in opposition to subject
petition, stating that any restaurant serving beer could turn into a"beer bar"; that subject
property was located in the center of a residential area; that with the elimination of parking
on East Street, cars from the commercial development would be parking on the residential str~et;
that they were having a difficult time trying to provide adequate exit for the cars in tt~e
tract because of the circulation; that she was sure the petitioner was sincere in his inten-
tions to establish the proposed Mexican restaurant with on-sale beer - however, if economics
were in such a state, the petitioner could revise his plans and construct a bar rather than
a restaurant; that the corner on which the proposed restau:ant and sale of beer was to be
located was also the corner where children waited for and got off of buses to and from school;
that East Street would be used to handle the traffic for the new stadium and the oropcsed use
would add more traffic to the area; that the circulation of the tract in which she was living
was such that a circular route had to be taken in order to gain exit from the tract; ~nd
further, in response to Commission questioning, stated she opposed the sale of beer ir~ con-
junction with the restaurant since it was proposed to be located in the center of a residential
area.
The Commission r,oted the petitioner was proposing to develop with considerable area for
kitchen requirements; that the conditional u~e permit was necessary in order to operate
the proposed use; and that the parking shortage occurred because of the requirement for
additional street dedication~
Mr, i•o B. Morley, 515 North East Street, appeared before the Commission and stated that
although the proposed restaurant woUld be an asset to the area, the request for serving
of beer might have a detrimental effect on the area because of the possibility of it being
diverted into a bar; that with other commercial stores proposed for subject property, the
use might be detrimental to the small commercial area; and that in his opinion, the proposed
on-sale beer was what he was objecting to primarily.
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that at ~uch time as the project for street
widening purposes on ~ast Street takes place, the existing curbs and gutters would be reloca±ed
to pe;rnit full dedication of the street, thereby providing for on-street parking on the east
side of East Street, with th? possibiliiy of providir.g six or seven additional parking spaces.
Mro Findley, in rebuttai, stated the pians did not indicate any counter space or bar or stools;
that the operator of the restaurant catered to a family-type business, and the sale of beer
was only incidental to the serving of food; that the hours of operation would be from 11:00
A.M. to 11:00 P.M.; and that he could not see where the proposed structure would be used as
a tavern.

Winchell's Donut House had siqned with tt~e petitioner wa~ contingent upon having tt~e :;ign

I'he Commission noted the proposed sign v~as two feet h:yner t.han was nermitted by the ~ign
ordinance, and the height of the s?yn was ~ot nece~sary •i,~r special id~>ntity,
The agent for th~: petitioner t`~e^ stated that because of ?.hc r:yUire~~,ar.t. of the 35-fo~t

restaurant with•bar on subject property„
Mro Amerigo Cerolini, one of the property owners, appeared before the Commission and
state~i he was available to answer questions, and then in response to Commission question-
ing, stated because he was proposing a liquor store which of necessity rr~ade it necessary
that it be located closer to the traffic, it was proposed to reclassify ttie property to
the ~-2 Zone in order to have no setback from the property line.
It was noted by the Commission that the proposed reclass;fication would be located between
two established industrial complexes, and to waive the 50-foot setback :~equirement in the
M-1 Zone would be setting a precedent for the industrial area.
Mrs, Dorothy Fulmer, designer of the proposed development, appeared before the Commission
and stated that because a request for reclassificat:ion to the C-2 Zone was being considered
by the Commissi~n, the plans as presented complied nith C-2 requirements.
Associate Pl~nner Jack Christofferson advised tne Ccmniission that if subject petition were
approved, the p~ans N•ere in conformance with the C-2 '^~P„
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition„
THE HEARING WAS rI,~SED.
Discussion was heid by `he Comr.iission relative to the proposed use, and it was determined
that the zoning request would be sput zoning in the middle of industrial property and would
havs an adverse effect on fut~re industriai development in the area, and that the setback
prooosal would be detr;•,ental to the existinq industrial property.,
Commissione* Herbst offere~ Resol.ution No„ 1941, Series 1965-66, and moved for its passage

has been developed with industiial complexes to the east and west; that it was proposPd ±o
be located in the center of an existing ir,dustrial development; that the commercial use
would adversely affect the uotentiai growth arn;; continued developmeni of the properties in

The agent for the petitioner stated he would be willing to dedicate
for an alley to the weste
Office Engir•eer Arthur Daw advised the Commissi.on that full dedication of the 20 feet
would be necessary from subject Froperty to serve as secondary access since access to
Magnolia Avenue would be prohibited, thus having only access from the alley to Rome Avenue
or to Ball Road if said alley was extended.
Mrse A~ J~ Letellier, 2568 Wes: Rome Avenue, appeared before the Commission and stated it
was quite disturbing to have constant repetition of reclassification fcr Magnolia Avenue
property; that she had p~~zchased her property in 1956 and had owned her home there since,
and she could sea no reason for changing the environment of the area from residential to
strip commercial which was along Magnolia Avenue since there were other areas in the City
. more suitable ior commercial development,
Mrso Ka L. Jahnke, 2579 West Rome Avenue, appeared before the Commission in opposition and
stated the reclassification of subject praperty would have a detrimental effect on the
neighborhood and would permit existing homes to be used for offices, and a situation similar
to that on North Brookhurst Street would result which would be detrimental to the entire area.
Mr~ Cornelius Madigan, 813 South Magnolia Avenue, appeared before the Commission in favor of
subject petition, stating he was using his home as an office and parking was not permitted
along Magnolia Aver~~:e in front of their homes, and it was difficult te sell a home because
of its undesirability for residential purposes, and all property owners along Magnolia
Avenue had the same problem.
Mr~ Kair, in rebut~al, stated th~t in his opinion, subject and abutting properties would
eventually be reciassified to C~-1, and if subject petition was a~proved, this might set
a pattern of development for the remaining parcels a?ong Magnolia Avenu?,
Two letters of opposition were read to tne Commission.
THE HEARING wAS CLGSEDo
Discussion was tield by.the Commission relative to the reclassification which established
a plan of development for the R-1 paz,;els on the west side of Magnolia Avenue between Rome
Avenue and Ball Road, and since that plan of development had been established in 1961, only
three lots had been developed for the approveti use, namely the service station si±e, and
all others had not exerciced the rights granted them under t.he C-1 Zone.
Commissioner Rowland offered Resoiution No~ 1942, Seri.es 1965-66, and moved for its passage
and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Gauer, to recommend to the City Council that Petition
for Reclassification No~ 65-66-85 be disapproved, based on the fact that this would be spot
zoning of individual lots; that the City had established a policy for development of the
area by land assembly of th:ee or more '_~ts in a previous reclassification and development
shou:d be in accordance with that; furthermore, that in the land assembly, a requirement
that the rear 20 feet shovld be dedicated to tlie City of Anaheim to p.:ovide secondary alley
access for said propertyg ar.d that if subject petition were approved, ihis would establish
a precedent for developmen~ of single lots for the entire block in which subject property

traf`i.c problem because of poor visibility; that children using South Street to go to school
were less iikely to be injured if clear vision was attained for traffic along State College
Boulevard; that with the opening of the stadium the Richfield Oil Company felt it was neces-
sary to have a service station located in the general vicinity of the area because their
nearest service station was 1~ miles to the north; and further, in response to Commission
questioning, stated that South Street was not a collector street east of State College
Boulevard - however it was a collector street west of State College Boalevarda
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that the statement made by the representa-
tive of the petitioner was correct, and it was propesed to have four travel lanes for South
Street at a futur.e date which would indicate it was a secondary highway ~lassification.
Mr, Stout then stated that the p.-titioner had canvassed the area to determine whether the
proposed 3evelopment would be acceptable to the iesidents of the area and had received
favczaui2 comments.
Krso Mary Smedley, 2109 East South Street, appeared before the Commission in opposition and
stated that although she realized the intersection of South Street and 5tate College Boule-
v:rd was a dangerous corner, to grant the proposed commercial use on subject property would
set a precedant for the v3cant parcels to the south and east of subject property; that
the area was ba<ically residential in character; that all the property owners had purchased
their homes on the assumption the area would remain residential; that many children crossed
the area to go to school, and this would add more traffic hazards to the chiidren with the
service station and commercial uses on the balance of the prop?rty; and that the property
values of their homes would be greatly reduced if commercial uses were estab~ished on subject
property.
The Cort~nission advised the opposition the vacant parcel to the east was owned by the Mormon
Church, and it was anticipated this would be developed for church purposes in the future.
Mr. R. Croft, 638 South State College Bou~~vard, appeared before the Commission in favor
of subject petition and stated the proposed service station would provide for better visi-
bility along State College Houlevardo

_ RECOMMENDATIONS Potential Sites for Batch Plants and M-2 Uses
(Continued)~
Assistant Flanner Charles Roberts presented the following study:
"RE: Potentiai Sites for Batch Plants and M-2 Uses
The purpose of this study was to investigate the character~stics of batch plants and to
determine possibie locations where this type of use would not be too offensive to surround-
ing uses> While batch plants are the main topic for consideration, it is very possible
. that the locations discussed below cculd accommodate M-2 uses as well.
i^-~'-~~ , Basically, a batch plant is a facility where materials necessary to the manufacture of
:~ , concrete are assembled and, as needed, mixtures are loaded into mixer trucks for mixing
and transportation to a jobo
Batch plants have been set up on the same site as, and operated in conjunction with, sand
and gravel operations and have also been established as individual operations at separate
locations~ Where both a sand and g:~vel ,r,lant and a batching operation are located on the
same site, most of the necessary materials are extracted and processed at that location
and the dry cement is the only product that is transported to the planto On the other hand,
however, where a batch plant is set up as an independent operation, it is necessary to have
all of the rock, sand and cement transported to the site~
Generally speaking, batch plants spring up in areas where a great deal of construction
activity is expected or is underway. In talking with people in the industry, it seems
that one of the primary considerations given to selecting a batch plant sit.e is to find
a location that is within reasonable distance of, or centrally located between both the
material source and the actual construction site,
Site area needs for individuai batch plants range from approximately 2 to 2~S acres for a
i portable type operation with a sinqle loading, si.ngle silo/hopper set-up, to app~~ximately
; 5 acres or more for the more permanent double loading, quadruple silo-hopper set-up,
:~ (The phraseology used to describe the different set-ups is that of tha author and not
necessarily used within the industry,) A conservative estimate at the length of time a
•-~ batching operation may be in one location would be a minimum of one year for a portable
' operation, to a minimum of three to five years for the more permanent faciiityo However,
_ in speaking with the people at Consolidated Rock, it seems that the majority of their
_ operations have been in existence for 15 years or soe
I
While rail transportation was once used to a fair extent, the industry seems t~ rely
primarily upon trucking transportation now~ Therefore, another prime consideration for
a location is a site's proximity to adequate road facilities.
The use of conveyor belts and closed hoppers has been a considerable aid in reducing the
amount of dust. created by this type of operation~ Although the Air Pollution Control
District h.:s been very active in keepinq tabs on the dust situation, the fact still remains
that ba~.ch plants are a dusty business., The yard and roadways within the site are usually
not pave~ and with heavy truck traffic constantly movinc in and out of tY~e site, dust is
naturally being created.. In addition to the dust facto:-, the noise created by the trucks
and other equipment would seem to make the use incompat.:ble with a residential area
especially.
Dick Turner, County Coordinator with the Orange County Planning Uepartment, stated that
approval of a use variance is necessary to establish a batch plant within the County's
jurisdiction. He also stated that the number of requests for this type of business has
decreased considerably in recent years. It seems t,~,t batch plants are a very competitive
type business and most of the larger sand and grave~ operators have the industry pretty
well tied up,
Of particular concern to the City when considering a request for a batch plant in a parti-
cular location is, how will the use affect adjacent land uses? The amounts of noise, dust,
odor and vibrations would probably be the determining factors. Truck traffic and operating
machinery will naturally create considerable noise. Dust conditions as mentioned above
could certainly create discord and discontent if the site is very close to a residential
or commercial area and also some industrial uses„ Since the prevailing winds in the
Anaheim area are 9enerally westerly an~ sou;.hwesterly, except when we have a 5anta Ana
wind condition, it would be best not to permit such a plant immediately west of a residen-
tial or commercial areao
~
MINUTES, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION~ February 16, 1966 2935
REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS - lTEM NO> 5(Continued
Since the majority of the central and western parts of the City are already developed
pri~arily with residential and commercial uses, it seems that the most logicai locations
for batch plants would be in the eastern and northeastern areas of the City, more speci-
fically in the Southeast and Northeast Industrial Areas. Both of these geographical areas
border upon the Santa Ana River which should provide an adequate buffer between any in-
compatible useso
In the Southeast Industrial Area there are two basic areas which could possibly serve
as satisfactory locationso One area lies between Katella Avenue and the A.T. 8 S.F.R.R.,
and the other is between Katella Avenue and Ball Road, Both locations are immediately
adjacent to the Santa Ana River and at the present time are still under County jurisdiction.
When the Orange Freeway is completed, these pote~itial locations will be bordered on the
east by a natural 5uffe: •- the Santa ~na River, and on the west by a man-made buffer - the
Orange Freeway, These buffer elements should help to lessen any undesirable effects that
are characteristic of a ~atch plant.
Hewever, ~vhen considering these sites, it becomes necessary to give very serious thought
to the visual effects that this use might present to spectators within th? stadium and to
those people traveling along the Orange Freeway~ The freewey will be elevated beginring
southerly of the AoT, 8 S,FeR.R, and will remain above grade to a puint between Cerritos
Avenue and Ball Road,. The elevated fraeway should provide at least a partiai screening
effect from the stadium, But the view from the freeway could be rather unsightly unless
further screening measures are undertaken. 'f large trees were planted along the boundary
line sepa:at';ng a batct~ing operation from the freeway, the visual effect should De greatly
improved, not only when viewiny the si'~e from the freeway but from the stadium as ~elle
In the Northeast Industiial Area also, the Santa Ana River provides a seemingly adequate
buffer between the residential uses on the south bank and the industrial area on the north
banke At the present time, there are sand and gravel, and batch plant operations in exist-
ence immediately adjacent to the north shore of the river, With the openiny of La Palma
Avenue easterly to Imperial Hiqhway, additional riverfront acreage will become available
with easy access to these road facilities,.
But rather than consider the entire depth between La Palma Avenue extension and the river
for batch plants or similar uses, it may be wise to consider the La Palma Avenue frontage
to a depth of perhaps 400 feet, to be prime locations for M-1 usese If the front 400 feet
sou±h of La Paima Avenue is retained for permitted M-1 uses, this would leave up to 400
feet adjacent to the river that could be used for batch p:ants ~r other heavy industrial
uses. Also, ~ny M-1 uses that might be established along La Falma Avenue would serve as
a visual screen between the highway and the batch plant facilities. Another reason why
this area lends itself favorably to these types of uses is the fact that there are a number
of large eucalyptus wind breaks already standing. These trees could serve not oniy as a
deterrentto dust spreading but as a visual screen as well.
When the existing sand and gravel operations are r,oncluded, it may be p~ssible to use the
remaining pits for batching activity, at least temporarily. However, in speaking with
Mr. John Collier, Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, ii has been determined
that the area west of Richfield Road has been designated, not only by the City, but the
wunty as well, for potential recreational facilities~ These facilities would be used in
conjunction with the proposed Urange County Water District settling basino Therefore, if
the recreational projects are to be completed as proposed, any batch plants should be
restricted to the area east of Richiield Road.
Another area that has been proposed for recreational facilities and has been excluded as
potential batch plant sit?s is the area adjacent tc the river ar.d extending northerly
from Ball Road to the Riverside Freeway.,"
Discussion was held by the Commission relative to the appropriateness of a1loNing b..tch
plants in the.Southeast Industrial Area between the proposed Orange Freeway and the Santa
Ana River.. It was the feeling of the Commission that since only eleven acres of prime
M-2 property is now available for sale in the City, the Southeast Industrial Area e-,sterly
of the Orange Freeway is an ideal location foi• expandin9 the M-2, Heavy Industrial, ?~ne.
This was predicated on the fact that a natural buffer would exist with the proposed freeway
on the west and the Santa Ana River on the east~
It was also noted that because of the prime industrial areas existing in the Northeast
Industrial Area, batch plants should be limited to that area as near the river as possible,
' preferably 40~ feet south of La Palma Avenue and easterly of Richfield Road, because noises,
* dust, dirt, incompatible structures, and heavy truck traffic, might be detrimental to the
,,tx future development of the industrial area.

A letter addressed to the City Council, in turn referred to the Planning Commission for
report and recommendation, from the City of Westminster urging the City Council to consider
a street name change of Knott Avenue to Goldenwest Street within the City of Anaheim`s
boundaries, was presented to the Commission by Associate Planner Jack Christofferson.
Mr. Christofferson also reviewed the history cf the original name of Knott Avenue, and the
length of time for said name; thai the City of Garden Grove had qone on record for retain-
ing Knott Avenue; that the City of Stanton had received and filed a similar request; and
that the City of Buena Park ihrough the City Council on February 8, 1966, had denied the
request for a change in the name of Knott Avenue and had further directed that a letter be
sent to the City of Westminster requesting that their c4ty change the name of Goldenwest
Street to Knott Avenue.
Discussion was held as to the length of time each street had been named within the boundaries
of the various cities, and Che significance of Knott P.venue to the history of recreation
facilities within the City of Anaheim~
Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to recommend to the City Council that the City of
Westminster's request for a street name change of Knott Avenue to Goldenwest Street be
denied, and the City of Westminster be urged to change the street name ot Goidenwest Street
to Knott Avenue, because of the historical background to said street name. Commissioner

Reclassification No. 65-66-48 - Grace Dickerson, petitioner, proposed
R-2, Multiple-Family Planned Residential Development on property un
the north side of Broadway between Wayside Place and Date Street -
revised plans.
Associate Planner Jack Christofferson reviewed for ihe Commission the City Council action
at the last adjourned public hearing of the proposed R-2, Planned Residential Development
for the Dickerson property. It was state,9 that the City Council suggested to the petitioner
that the Council would consider revised p:.ans, and ~hat such revised plans should be sub-
mitted to the Planning Commission for report prior to City Council consideration~ It was
further noted that the petitioner had met s?yeral times with thr Development Services
Department to work out the most satisfactory site plan, and that the latest revision was
received too late to be considered by the Planning Commission at their January 31st meeting.
It was also noted that the densiiy of the proposed development would be 9.5 units per net
residential acre, with a coverage of 31~1%• Adequate parking ~•~~~ also indicated for the
project.
Discussion was held by the Co~mission, at which time the Commission re-affirmed their
previous recommendation that the subject proper±y should be developed for single-family
~ residential use.
, Commiss~oner Perry offered a motion to recommend to the City Council that it is the opinion of
the Planning Commissipn that property under consideration by the City Council in Reclassifica-
R tion No. 65-66-48, known as the Dickerson property, remains more suitable for single-family
„~ resident=al development; however, if the City Council determines that the higher density is
justified, the revised site plan represents probably the least disruptive pattern for R-2
Planned Residential Development for the property. Commissioner Herbst seconded the motion.
