RECLASSIFICATION - PUBLIC HEARING. COALSON C. MORRIS, 708 fJorth West Street, Anaheim,
N0. 65-66-120 California, Owner; ROBERT E. VAN, 515 Priscilla Way, Anaheim,
California, Agent; property described as: A rectangularly shaped
VARIANCE N0. 1800 parcel of land with a frontage of approximately 125 feet on the west
side of East Street and having z maximum depth of approximately 112
AREA DEVELOPMENT feet, the southerly boundary of subject property being approximately
PLAN N0. 68 430 feet north of the centerline of Sycamore Street, and further
described as 609 North East Stre~~t. Property presently classified
R-1, ONE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ZONE.
REQUESTED CLASSIFICATION: C-0, COMMERCIAL OFFICE, ZONE.
:i _
~ ~R
REQUESTED VARIANCE: WAIVERS OF (1) MINIMUM REQUIRED SITE AREA, AND
(2) MINIMUM SIDE YARD ScTBACK.
AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Study covers the properties fronting on the west side of
East Street between Sycamore and Wilhelmina Streets.
Mr. Robe:t Van, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and reviewed
subject petition and the fact that the adjacent property owners had signed a petition
in favor of subject petition.
Mr. Van further stated that because of the increase in traffic during the past seven or
eight years, subject property no longer was attractive for residential development; that
the other single-family homeowners had been waiting for the City to establish an appropriate
zone for that area in order tt~at orderly development of the properties could take place,
and upon presenting his plans of development to them, they all indicated their approval of
the proposed type of development along East Street; and that in order that East Street
between La Palma Avenue and Sycamore Street would not become stagnant, redevelopment for
C-0 uses would provide a lc~ical means for the uses of these homes or the property as a
transitional use, and the proposed pe'.ition was an attempt to start this redevelopment -
however, subject property was vacant, and, therefore, could no~ be classified in the same
manner as other properties.

MINUTES, CIlY PLANNING COMMISSION, June 6, 1966 3059
RECLASSIFICATION - Pdr. J. C. McIlvain, 601 Nort.h East Street, appeared before the
N0. 65-66-120 Commission and stated his property was located in the center of
the block of the propo<.ed Area Development Plan, and that the petitioner
VARIANCE N0. 1800 had voiced the feelings of the other property owners in that commercial
uses should be established along East Street; however, it was his opinion
AREA DEVEIAPMENT that a definite plan of development for all the properties should be made
PLAN N0. 68 by the Development Services Department similar to that made for Harbor
(Continued) Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue in order that development should be in a
neat and orderly manner.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
,.~~ The Commission reviewed the Area Development Plan, noting that the eight lots plotted should
t,j ~ be adequate for any future development along the study area; that the Commission was not
~ , desirous of having "spot zoning" or hodge-podge development along East Street; that in order
~-~~ that long-range plans might best provide for an orderly develooment of the area, a precise
' plan, including those properties under the Area Development Plan, together with oroperties
~~ on both sides of East Street from the Riverside Freeway to Lincoln Avenue, should be pre-
~~ pared by the Planning Staff.
E~
!~ Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that Area Development Plan No. 68
;~ was prepared for the west side oi East Street only because the C-0 Zone requires an Area
Development Plan where development of the property er.compassed less than 20,000 square feet;
i~' that if any of the other single-family homes were to be used for C-0 purposes, each would
`~ have to file a conditional use permit in addition to the reclassification to permit use of
a residential structure for C-0 uses; and that Area Development P1ans had 'aeen prepare9 on
previous public hearings encompassing property on the east side of East Street between
La P~lma Avenue and Wilhelmina Str=et- however, the City Council had denied that Area
~ , Development Plan, being of the opinion tnat the area was not yet ready for that type of
',i development. Furthermore, since East Street was designated on the Circulation Elenent of
,.I the General P1an as a secondary arterial, additional street dedication oi ten to twelve
i feet would be required of these lots fronting on East Street.
~ ~ Planning Supervisor Ronald Grudzinski advised the Commission that a General Plan P.mendmeni
i •i was not considered since it was felt an Area Development Plan was necessary prior to any
;i consideration of a General Plan Amendment; that the history of the Commission and City
~ ';` Council action indicated the reclassifications were approved - however the General Plan
i ~l Amendments and Area Development ?lans were denied; and that four different General Plan
~ _; Amendments were prepared for the properties on both sides of East Streei extending froR
'~ Romneya Drive to Lincoln Avenue.
;I "
i~~
,;i Commissioner Herbst was of the opinion that the proposed reclassification was somewhat
premature for the area since all the homes were well-mair.tainea, and to permit "piecemeal"
~ ~ commercial development would create a deterioration of the ertire area~
.~ ~
:~ Commissioner Rowiand was of the opinion that East Street had a similar problem as Harbor
1 Boulevard, and considerable study would be necessary to accurately assess the implications
of commercial development for this entire street.
( ~ Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to reopen the hearing and continue Petitions ior
~J I Reclassification No. 65-66-120, Varianc= iJo. 1800, and Area Development Plan No. 58 to the
~I meeting oi July 18, 1966, to allow time for the Development Services staff to prepare a
I ~ study encompassing properties on both sides of East Street from the Riverside Freeway to
Lincoln Ave~ue. Commissioner Herbst seconded the motion. :NOTIOti CARRIED.

of approximately 234 feet, the western boundary of subject prooerty

Subject petitions were continued from the meetin9 of tday 9, 1966, in order to allow time
for the staff to meet with the property owners regardin9 land assembly.
Mr. Robert Jackson, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated
that at the meeting of the property owners on Thursday, May 19, 1966, all property owners
were of the opinion that reclassification of their properties was necessary before any
land assembly could be attempted; th=~ 5e had discussed the possibility of development
of these properiies with several de.~ ..pers, but since no zoning action had taken place
on tne p*operties, very little enco~ragement was given to the property owners.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompsor advised the Commission that at the me=ting with the
property owners, discussion was t~eld as to the various ways and methods o: developin9 the
lots in this area; that some preliminary layouts of R-1 lots were prepared - however the
staff was of the opinion that R-1 development was not too feasible since this would leave
a number of landlocked parcels; that the staff concurred in the statement made by Mro Jackson
that the uncertainty of obtaining reclassification to a multiple-family zone had apparently
discouraged developers in the past; and that, in addition to enhancing the chances for land
, assembly in the area, rezoning to an R-2 or R-3 density would also preclude technical waivers
required because of the presence of R-A parcels adjacent to developing parcels - however, it
would be the prerogative of the Commission or the property owners to initiate zoning to the
R-2 or R-3 Zone for all of these parcels.
Mr. Jackson stated that the property owne*s were agreeable to initiating the reclass'Fication
if they felt the Commission would give them ar.y encouragement.
Mr. Jackson, in response to Commissior. questioning, stated that at the meeting of the property
owners, all were of the opinion that rezoning was necessary prior to reconsideration of
developing their oroperties on a land assembly basis.
Mr. Thompson advised the Commission that the petitioner was proposing eight units on two-
thirds of an acre, and this was within the density oi the R-2 Zone.
Mr. S. C. Punter, 1318 Masterson Street, appeared before the Commission and siated that at
the previous public hearing a petition had been submitted indicating that the R-1 property
own~rs were in opposition to development of the parcels adjacent to the single-family homes
unless developed for R-1, since the apartments would not be esthetically valuable to the
area, although the~~ were desirous of having the property developed, and since all thsse
properties encroached for a considerable depth adjacent to the single-family nomes, they
should be developed for single-family purposes.
~ Mr. Herbert Lieberman, 12621 Ohmer Way, Garden Grove, appeared before the Commission in
' favor of subject petition and complimented the staff in reviewing the experience of the
property owners involved; that although their properties were not adjacent to the single-
_ family homes, his property abutson other properties that were deep, narrow lots and iaced
* onto Ball Road, and that if the Commission considered reclassification of these properties
.+tx

RECLASSIFICATION - favorably, they would then be developed in a unifcrm manner. Furthermore,
N0. 65-b6-116 the staff had investigated the possibility of developing these properties
for single-family purposes and had come to the conclusion that if the
VARIANCE N0, 1793 proper,ty owners developed regardless of the zoning, it could not be
developed for single-family purposes since several of the parcels wouid
GENERAL PLAN have rear portions which would be landlocked and would have no access
AMENDMENT N0. 76 to a street.
(Continued)
. Mr. J. J. Turek, 1234 South Western Avenue, appeared before the
Commission in favor of subject petition and stated that at the previous
hearing the oppos~tion had indicated the proposed development would create heavy traffic on
Lanerose Drive; however, on taking an actual count of the number of cars along the street in
one hour, there were five automobiles using the street - thus the street does not presently
carry much traffic, and to project an additional eight units to this property would not
affect the traffic pattern for the street.
Mr. Paul Pletz, 3203 West Ball Road, appeared before the Commission and stated he was in
favor of subject petition and had an acre of land immediately adjacent to the east of the
Jackson property; that the development plan presented by the petitioner was acceptable;
and that he had been approached saveral times regarding development of his property i.n
the area, but because of the R-A Zoning, this became impossible.
THE [-fEARING WAS CLOSED.
~~
The Corsunission again reviewed the plan, noting that the deep lots zlong Ball Road would
probably have commercial frontage; that due to the nature of the size of the lots, land
assembly of the lots would be rather difficult since single-family subdivision deve:opment
had been oriented around these properties; and that it would be reasonable to assume subject
property and the abutting properties could be developed for low-medium density.
Seven persons in the Council Chamber indicated their presence in opposition to subject
petitions.
Commissioner Perry offered Resolution No. 2058, Series 1965-66, and moved for its passage
and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Herbst, to recommend to the City Council that Petitior

PERMIT N0. 845 Mar, California, Owner; LARRY A. RAY, 112 North McPherson Road, Orange,
California, P.gent; requesting permission to ESTABLISH A RESTAURANT on
property described as: An irregularly shaped parcel of land lying south
and east uf a 150-foot by 150-foot parcel situated at the southeast corner of Via Burton
Street and State College Boulevard, and having frontages of approximately 34 feet on Via
P~arton Street and approximately 143 :eet on State College Boulevard. Property presently
classified M-1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, ZONE.
Mr. Larry Ray, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated he was
available to answer questions.
i~1r. George Ehrle, 1201 Nort.i State College Boulevard, appeared before the Commission stating
he represented the property immediately adjacent to the south of subject property which was
his mother's property; that he was not in opposition to the prooosed reclassification -
however he was considerably concerned in the fact that the parcel immediately adjacent to
the freeway was becoming more landlocked all the time; and that oresently they had a 15-foot
agricultural access to Placentia Avenue, and since he was attempting to oversee his mother's
property, he was interested in negotiating with the petitioner for a roadway to State College
Boulevard through the subject property.
. Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that there might be a problem to
obtain additional access to State Colle9e Boulevard because of the limited access adjacent
to a ramp of tne freeway; that the traffic problem had been discussed with the Traf:ic
Engineer who was of the opinion that the proposed layout of subject petition was adequate;
and that development of subject property might be difficult if access was permitted to the
property to the south.
The Commission noted there were several vacant parcels easterly of subject property which
could, upor. development, have a road to Via Burton Street, thereby providing seconoary or
an additional access to the Ehrle property immediately adjacent to the freeway.
h1r. Thomas Walker appeared before the Commission and stated Mrs. E~rle had sold her access
rights to State College Boulevard for a substantial fee approximately ten years ago, and
that he had acquired twenty acres oi which subject property was a part from persons who
had previously lived on the property.
;; No one appeared in opposition to subject petition.

locking the parcel to the south since there was still vacant property available which could
be combined to provide street access to Via Burton Street. (See Resolution 3ook.)

FRP.NCIS J. MILLER, 133 West Chapman Avenue, Fullerton, California, ~gent;
requesting permission to cSTABLISH A RESTAURANT on property described as:
An irregularly shaped parcel of land with a frontage of s~proximately 240 feet on the north
side of Katella kvenue and having a maximum depth of approximately 605 feet, the westerly
' -, boundary of subject property being approximately 720 feet east of the centerline of Lewis
Street, and further described as 1105 East Katella Avenue. Property presently classified
' M-1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, and P-L, PARKING-LAIJDSCAPING, ZONcS.
Mr. Francis Miller, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and reviewed
the background, ideas and philosophy of establishing the proposed restaurant on subject
property, further noting that ,'~r. Harry Fahnestock, the proposed operator oi the Stox
Restaurant, had a similar operation in the City of Downey in the industrial zone on Imoerial
Highway, which was a successful operation; that a feasibility study of Orange County had
been made which indicated subject property was a logical spot for the proposed tyoe offa:ility
to serve the industry in the area; that the proposed restaurant v~oulri be fully equipped with
cooking facilities, together with a bakery, with meals being preoared, and would not be like
a steak house or a hamburger shop; furthermcre, although the proxi~nity oi ~he base~al? stadium
to the restaurant would normally be considered, it was proposed to serve breakfast, lunch, and
light snacks for the industry in the area and would not necessarily be geared to possible
clientele who would frequent the stadium.
Mr. Miller, in response to Commission questioning, stateo that the rear porticn of the land
would be landscaped, and the two existing homes would be rernoved.
Discussion was then held by the Commissior .-~lative to the signs prooosed on the olot plan
since one of the signs was proposed to te loco~ed in the parking-landscapin9 ~rea. The
Commission inquired what other types o`. signs we~re beino proposed.
Mr. Miller stated that the sign in the parki~g-lands.:aping area was primarily an arcritec-
tural feature oi the "Stox Restaurant" and not like a iree-standing sign; that the oetitioner
intended to put a larger, f*ee-standing sign to the re~r of the landscaping - however ±: the
Commission was of the opinion that other signing was more appropriate, they would attempt to
conform with ihe requirements.
The Commission indicated tha: since the proposed type oi development in the industrial zone
would be i~ a low competitive area, the signing of the property would r,ot necessarily be as
critical as in a commercial area, and the proposed developme~t should conform with the require-
ments of the M-1, Light Industrial, Zone for signing of properties.
Mr. Fred Lowe'_1, industrial agent with the Southern Pacific RaiLway, appeared before the
Commission and stated the railway owned property to the west and north of subject prooerty,
and it was their concern that if all the restaurants proposed and approved by the City were
constructed, this would project innumerable restaurants along State College Boulevard,
Katella Avenue, and in the Southeast Industrial Area proper; that serious consideration
should be given by the Commission to maintaining more land for industrial ourposes since
this has become increasingly di:ficult with the advent o; the Anaheim Stadium.
Mr. Alex Indergand, 1021 East Katella Avenue, appeared before the Commission and inquired
whether the proposed restaurant would be operating on a 24-hour basis, and whether or not
liquor would be sold in conjunction with the sale of food.
The Commission advised Mr. Indergand that the petition before the Commission requested
permission to operate a restaurant with a cocktaii loun9e.
~~ * Mr. Indergand then inquired whether or not a six-foot masonry wall would be cons±ructed
M~ adjacent to his driveway since he was still residing in his home located adjacent to =ubject

(Continued)
Mr. Miller, in rebuttal, stated that the Southern Pacific Railway
Company did not indicate any opposition to service stations which they
felt were a necessity to the area; however, it was his clients' o;:inion that a good restau-
rant was also a necessity for the area, and that the railroad ~rroperty would be protected on
the northerly side by an 89-foot, undeveloped purtion of the land.
Mr. Miller also stated that he did not know whether or not the operator of the proposed
restaurant would maintain the restaurant for a 24-hour period; however, he was presently
operating a restaurant on a 24-hour basis in the M-1 area in Downey and had no problems.

PERMIT N0. 848 California, Owner; JAMES H. HODGES, 1709 South Brookhurst Street,
Anaheim, California, Agent; requesting permission to ESTA3LISH A INALK-UP
RESTAURANT WITH WAIVER OF THE MINIMUM REQUIRED PARKING SPACES on property
described as: A recta~gularly shaped parcel of land with a frontage of approxim~-ely 78 feet
on the east side of Brookhurst Street and having a maximum deoth of approximately 175 feet,
the northerly boundary of subject property being approximately 375 feet south of the center-
line of Broadway, and further described as 324 South Brookhurst Street. Pro~erty presently
classified C-1, GENERAL COMIv1ERCIAL, ZONE.
_; Mr. James Hooges, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated tnat
_ the existing "Dog House" would be a coffee shop primarily since they were serving at tables
in the restaurant, and the take-out window proposed would be only 20~ of the •rolume of the
sales for the restaurant; that studies made by the proposed operator of the restaurant
indicated the ten parking spaces were adequate to take care of both a sit-down and take-out
restaurant - therefore the eighteen parking spaces proposed, in his estimation, were adequate.
I
~ The Commission inquired whether or not the walk-up restaurant would be simil.ar to that located
on South Anaheim Boulevard with the typical take-out window, to which Mr. H~dges reolied this
~ was a prototype building and would be similar.
Mro Dale Sellon, the petitio~er, appeared before the Commission and stated that when he first
approached the Zoning Division oi Development Services, he had been advised the Commission
might be more receptive if he would provide reciprocal parking; that he had incoroorated this
along the entire frontage with an easement thro~gh the driveway and no impediments to the
flow of traffic would result. Furthermore, there was considerable parking in the front of
the other properties immediately ad;acent.
The Commission inquired of Deputy City Attorney Flan Watts whether or not a recordation of
an easement for mutual parking and access across other properties would be necessary.
Mr. Watts stated that fer the protection of the City it was recommended an easement be
recorded.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission the staff was attempting to elimin~te
problem parking of other restaurants where two or three were immediately adjacent to each
other by orienting the parking in such a way that regardless of the drive approach used,
parking in close proximity to the immediate restaurant would be gained by providing a mutual
parking agreement, and that a reasonable layout of the entire commercial facilities was
recommended.

CONDITIONAL USE - PUBLIC HEARING. EVERETT DEAN, 1709 S. Brookhurst Street, Anaheim,
PERMIT N0. 849 California, Owner; JAMES H. HODGES, 1709 South Brookhurst Street,
Anaheim, California, Agent; requesting permission to ESTABLISH A
WALK-UP RcSTAURANT WITH WAIVERS OF (1) MINIMUM REQUIRED PARKIf,., SPACES,
AND (2) Rr.QUIRED 2% IIJTERIOR LANDSCAPING on property described as: H rectangularly shaped
parcel of land with a frontage of approximately 90 feet on the south side of Lincoln Avenue
and having a maxim~am depth of approximately 236 feet, the easterly boundary of subject
property being app::oximately 201 feet west of the centerline of Dale Avenue, and further
described as 2802 West Lincoln kvenue. Property presently classified C-1, GENcRAL CO~J,h1ERCIAL,
ZONE.
Mr. James Hodges, agent for the petitioner, appeGred before '.he Commiss~on and stated the
waiver of the parking was similar to one requested in an earlier petition; that the develop-
ment was only the first phase of the proposed shopping ar:a, and to require provision of
24 parking spaces and the 2% landscaping of the parkin, area might have some effect on future
plans of the commercial shopping center and requeste;i that these be waived at this time in
order that they might be incorporated into the property when the entire parcel is developed~
Mr. Hodges also stated that when subject property was reclassified in 1963, the number of
required parking spaces was not the same as now r?quired by Cede.
PJ~r. Hodges then presented a copy of a recorded mutual parking agreement to the Commission
for inclusion in the iile.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that if subject petition was
approved, plans of development indicated a planned unit shopping center - hoa~ever, now only
the westerly portion was being developed, and unl=ss the City was assured some type of
document which would permit other buildings and the remainder of the properties having
adequate parking, the Commission should require the petitioner to provide 24 parking spaces;
furthermore, the staff was concerned about the easterly portion being rievelooed in the fut~u~e:
if the size of the structure as proposed were placed there, there would be insufiicient park-
ing for that structure also.
Commissioner Gauer expressed concern that there might not be adequate parking for employees
of the restaurant since at a recent luncheon with a restaurant owner, he had indiczted they
could never provide parking for their employees.
Mr. Thompson advised the Commission the stafi was presently making a study of the oarking
requirements for all commercial developments in the City.
Mr. Hodges, in reply to Comr,iission questioning, stated the minimum number of employees for
the proposed restaurant would be three and the maximum six.
Mr. Thompson also advised the Commission a building permit was presently penaing for the
"Dog House" and the small shopping facility southezly of the restaurant, and the proposed
new structure would be to the east.

- Agent; reque~ting permission to ESTABLISH RETAIL SALES on property described
- as: An irre9ularly shaped parcel of land situated at the southeast corner of State College
Boulevard and Cerritos Avenue and having frontages of approximately 2i0 feet on State College
Boulevard and approximately 940 ieet on Cerritos Hvenue, and further described as 1500 South
State College Boulevard. Property presenily classified M-1, LIGHT iNDUSTRIAL, AND P-L,
PARKING-LANDSCAPING, ZONcS.
Mr. Charles Hertzler, hus:~and of the agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission
and stated that they presently had a wholesale business license; however, because of the
retail store they formerly had, which had to be liquidated, the inventory from that store
was now stored at the State College address, and it was their desire to attempt to dispose
of these retail items at the State College Boulevard address.
Mr. Hertzler, in response to Commission questioning, stated the Edison Company permitted only
tem~orary structures on the property, and if any structures were constructed, they must be of
alurtiinum only; that he was not desirous of having the retail business for temporary use only
but as a permanent use since it would be only a small portion of the actual operation; that
no parkir,g was permitted along State College Houlevard, and ingress was gained f*om State
College Boulevard and egress from the Cerritos Avenue frontage; that Cerritos Avenue was
presently a two-lane highway with two additional lznes unpaved, and these were being used
for extra parking areas; that the street lighting recommendation made in the Staff Report
would create an undue burden since they were financially embarrassed to handle such an expen-
diture and could only pay this if a retail license was obtained to increase their revenue.
Furthermore, advertising would not be permitted through a newspaper since they were restricted
because of this, and it was their intent to have a larger sign than they presently had.
Office Engineer Arthur Daw, in response to Commission questionin9, stated that State College
Boulevard was now fully dedicated and Cerritos Avenue was also completely dedicated - however,
paving was for approximately 20 feet, and the existing curbs and gutters were at the ultimate
location of the width of the street.
The Commission determined that the petitioners were not utilizing the property to the easterly
- boundary because the majority of it was fenced in adjacent to the flood control channel, and
~ that a portion was being utilized by the railroad tracks for approximately 30 feet near the
~, point.

3068
VARIANCE N0. 1798 -:he wmmission inquired of Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson whether
(Continued) or not the staff had had similar problems with retail sales in the
industrial zone, whereupon Mr. Thompson stated that two other businesses
in the M-1 Zone had been notified they were operating a retail business
in violation of the Anaheim Municipal Code, and that the City Attorney had instructed them
to file a variance since the industrial zone did not permit retail sales.
Discussion was then held by the Commission relative to the proposed use being established
on a permanent basis and whether or not this •,+ould set z precedent for similar requests
` along Sta±e College Boulevard.and in the oth=r industrial areas, even though the request
! for the proposed use was within the Edison easement, since many of the other areas within
the Edison easemert were devoted to wholesale uses of the property, and the land was all
~ rather attractive because of the wholesale nursery uses.
~ Mr. Hertzler then stated that it was his opinion State College Boulevard would be similar
to Harbor Boulevard, with restaurants, motels, etc., because of the in:lux of the baseball
stadium, whereupon Commissioner Herbst stated that industrial uses had already been estab-
lished and were still being established in the area; therefore industrial uses should take
precedent.
Mrs. Anita Hertzler then appeared before the Commission and stated they had formerly operated
-• the "HIC Nursery" on North Euclid Street and were forced to vacate before they could dispose
of their retail items, and if the Commission could see fit to grant a temoorary use for the
balance of the growing season through August or September, this would provide them time to
dispose of materials they had.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition.

THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Deputy City Attorney Alan Watts, in response to Commission questioning, stated that the
Commission could grant a limited period of time for the use without conditions if they

and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Gauer, to grant Petition for Variance No. 1798 for
a period of six months only, and to terminate at the end of said six months; that signs
shall be erected in accordance with the requirements of the M-1 Zone; and that because of
the time linit of six months, it was deemed by the Commission that the requir ement of street
lights and strr;et trees, as well as street widening and street improvements would not be
equitable - therefore, these conditions would not be attached to the ~ommission's approval.

Mr. W. A. Mi11s, representing some oftl-e eroperty owners of oroperti?s originally approved u~der
subject petition for limited commercial uses of subject property, appe~rea oefore the Commis-
sion and stated that when subject property was reclassified iive years ago the uses permitted
seemed to be the logical method :or use of these properiies; however, durin9 the past five
years most of the property owners were unable to sell, rent. or lezse their properties under
thes= limitations. Therefore, the request by the property owners :or deletion of the deed
restrictions was made to the City Council who were of the opinion that a public hearing should
be held before tne Planning Commission and tne City Council before ~ny decisio~ coul.i be ma„e,
and directed that the property owners, at their own expense, have subject petitio~ readvertisea;

RECLASSIFICATION - that many times the property owners had opportunities to lease their
N0. 61-62-30 properties - however deed restrictions always presented a barrier; and
(Contin~~ed) that subject properties could not be rented or sold for r?sidential
purposes because of the heavy traffic along State College Boulevard.
Furthermore, in response to Commission questioning, stated that he had
started reclassification proceedings of these properties five years ago.
Mr. E. Jette, owner of property at 300 North State College Boulevard, which was Lot No. 1
of Portion No. 1, appeared before the Cor,unission and stated it had been very difficult to
reside in.the home on State College Boulevard because of the heavy traffic, and since Lhe
advent of the baseball park, this had been magnified; that he had 'nad a number of opportuni-
_ ties to sell the property, however, when the prospective buyers learned that deed restric-
~ tions limited the uses, they lost interest, and for this reason he felt it was necessary
.~
' that these deed restrictions be removeti.
~~t ~
;s~ Mr. M. J. Walker, 1239 Live Oak Court, appeared before ihe Commission and stated he wzs
f;~ the owner of property at 212 North State College 3oulevard, two doors no*th of tne Under-
`.i hill lots and two doors south of tne four lots fronting on State College 3oulevard; that
,s..1 he was opposed to the deletion of deed restrictions, ano he knew of several o~her property
;i owners who also were opposed to the requested deletion; that the value of their properties
,~ would greatly depreciate since four of the ten lois had developed under the restricted
,~ commercial zoning.
A4r. Mills again appeared and stated Mr. Walker was not affected by the close proximity oi
a doq hospital; that the homes on Euclid Street were in a similar predicament, and they
were given commercial zoning; that the situation on State College Boulevard was more diifi-
cult than Euclid Street; that properties northerly of subject property had been given C-1
Zoning without deed restrictions and one of these lots was within a foot of the lots under
considdration; and that with the construction of two large effice buildings on Center Street,
any chance of leasing or renting their properties for business and professional ofiices had
been greatly reduced.
Chairman Camp reminded th~ property owners that if deed restrictions were oeleted, the
existir.g structure would have to be removed and replaced with a regular commercial structure
since use of a residential structu*e was limited by Code, thus placing these properties under
restrictions again.
Mr. Alills then stated he understood that it was not necessary to remove the structures, and
_, these structures were still in good condition, being only twelve years old.
A man in the audience stated ihat t~ir. Harris, owner of property at 215 idorth State College
Boulevard, was opposed to the removal of the deed restrictions.
F letter fror~ Doctor Richard Reppe, owner of tne dental office located at 202-206 :dortn
State College Boulevard, was read to the Commission, in which opposition was expressed to
the removal of the deed restrictions.
M THE HEARING WAS CLOS~U.
Discussion was held by the Commission relative to the evidence submitted at the original
public hearing of subject petition five years ago, and the fact that the deed restrictions
were placed on the properties after the pe`i.tioners had recognized the fact that the residents
immediately to the east of their properties should be given some protection and consideration.
Commissioner Perry offered Resolution 'Jo. 2069, Series 1965-60, and m~ved for its passage and
adoption, seconded by Commissioner ~owland, to recommend to the Citv Council that the *equest
for aeletion of deed restrictions limiting tite uses to bUSiness and orofessionol office use only in
Petition for Reclassification No. 61-62-30 be disapproved on the nasis that no economic or
land use change had taken place since the original deed restrictions were applied to warrant
the Commission's considering removal of said deed restrictions; th-~t removal of these deed
restrictions would be granting the remaining property owners o p~ivilege which other property
owners who had developed under the deed restrictions would not enjoy; and that the requested
deletion of deed restrictions would have a deleterious effect on the single-family homes
immediately adjacent to the east of subject properties. (See Resolution 3ook.)

',~ -~ able distances for a small item; that he had presented the plsns of the proposed convenience

,~~ favorable response from the people; that he had contacted the two churches in close proxiinity
and received favora~le comment; that subject property was bounded on three sides with apart-
ments and on the fourth side with a medical service center; that with the elimination of the
k'~,.~ orange grove, a safety feature would be added to the intersection of Acacia and La Palm~ since

~~ gregated at this intersection wnen the ice cream trucks came to vend their wares, and with
~; the convenience shopping center this would eliminate a traffic hazard; that it would cost
~j the devnloper approximately $10,000 to widen the street and out curbs and gutters, lights,

The Commission also noted that industrial develooment had occur:ed immediat?ly adjacent to
subject property along Ball Road.
~ Mr. B. G. ~dci:ay, Hssistant Manager for E. H. Sargeant Company, tne industrial development
to the west of subject property, appeared before the Commission in ooposition and stated

~ unaware of the survey; that the proposed use would be detrimental to the industrial develop-
~, ment already established and proposed for the Southeast Industrial Area; that the investment

N0. 65-66-119 retained for industrial developm2nt; that the shopping center now being
(Continued) constructed at the northeast curner of State College Boulevard and Ball
Road would be adequate to serve the residents north and east of that
intersection; and that an additional convenience shopping center on the
northwest corner was unnecessary because of the relztively few homes adiacent to it.
Mr. Weger, in rebuttal, stated that anything tnat would be projected for this property would
not be detrimental to the industrial development in the area; that it was their intent to
develop the property to its fullest potential; that the people who would patronize the shop-
ping area at the northeast corner would be of the executive class, and it was their intent
to cater to the working person; that the advent of the baseball park had influenced him to
place a dinner house on subject property; that Mrs. Madison had been in contact with a
number of persons interested in placing a dinner house on subiect property, and these people
were similar to "Coffee Don's" and "Big Boy" and were quite selective in their choice of
location, and that type of development would not be detrimental to the industrial development
of the area.
Mrs. Madison aqain appeared before the Commissior and stated that subject property was zoned
R-A with potential to M-1; however, when she listed the property she noted there was a
considerable amount of vacant I~i-1 property soutn o: Ball Road, and that the access road
would serve the Wagner property to the north as well as being beneficial to tne E. R. Sargeant
Company.
The Commission noted that the R-A Zone had been beneficial to h;r. Wagner since he had been
growing oranges on tne property and received a tax benefit; furthermore, the General Plzn
projected this property for industrial development, and 6',r. Wagner had been using the property
for agricultural purposes since 1905.
THE HcARING WAS CLOSED.
' Discussion was held by the Com~ission as to the appropriateness oi the request for commercial
I~ zoning since both uses presently proposed, namely the =_ervice station a~d dinner house,were
permitted in the hi-1 7one. Furthermore, the Gen~~ral Plan had projected all of this and
adjoininq properties for industrial purposes and only tne Wagner property tiad not been re-
•' classified by the City when the Southeast Industrial Area was iormalized.

ior Reclassification No. 65-66-119 be disapproved on the basis that the proposed commercial
encroachment into the Southeast Industrial Area would set an undesirable precedent :or the

Associate Planner N~arvin Krie9er reviewed for the Commission the precise alignment of
La Palma Hvenue as adopted by the City which indicated Fee Ana Street was the easterly
boundary of said precise alignment; however, the precise alignment for the entire street
as the County projected it had also been approved, but the portion within the jurisdiction
of the County now had eliminated the portion easterly of Fee Ana Street within the city

Associate Planner Jack Christofferson advised the Commission that in the Commission's
Resolution Nos. 1978 and 1979 approving Conditional Use Permit f7o. 822 and Variance
No. 1771, the legal description for the properties was not separated, and that the City
Attorney's Office was of the opinion that an amendment should be made to the legal des-
cription to encompass the drive-in restaurant property only~and th~ addition uf a condition
which would require development of the drive-in restaurant in accordar.ce w~th plans.
Furthermore, in Variance No. 1771, Finding No. 1, should be clarified to ~ndicate the
specific waiver oi theheight of the structures and then the recommended wording ior the
amendment was read.
Mr. Christofferson, in response to Commission questioning, stated that the walk-up restaurant
was a McDonald's hamburger shop~and that the location of said walk-uo restaurant was important~
in the fact~that the commercial buildings ~~hich would be located on the south boundary line
would add as a buffer to the residential uses adjacent off of Western Avenue.
