RECLFlSSIFICATION - The area is served by iour arterial sireets or highways: the Riverside
N0. 65-66-120 Freeway on the north, East Street itself (a designated secondary),
La Palma Avenu? and Lincoln Avenue, designated as primary highways
VARIANCE N0. 1800 (see Appendix I, Detailed Area Survey). The traffic volumes on East
Street are presently 12,500 vehicles per day Lincoln to La Palma, and
AREA DEVELOPMEDIT 14,400 vehicles per day north of La Palma. Projections indicate volumes
PLAN N0. 68 will double within the next 10 - 15 years. The Traffic Engineer indicates
(Continued) the East Street traffic flow requires the street to be a minimum 90 foot
secor.dary arterial highway within the study area. Acquisition of ultimate
right-of-way, particularly in the area between Wilhelmina and Cypress, may
have an effect on the quality of present land uses and necessitate redevelopment or
re-use.
ZONING HISTORY
The zoning is predominately R-1 with R-3 on the west side of East Street between
Lincoln to just south of Sycamore Street, with one additional block of R-3 on the
east side of East Street immediately no*th of Belmont Avenue. Zoning actions have
permitted service stations at the northwest and southeast corners of East and Sycamore
Streets, with C-1 at the southwest and northeast corners. Service stations are also
located at the southeast and souihwest corners of East and La Palma, at the northwest
corner of Balsam and East, at the northeast corner of Romneya and cast Streets, a
service station within tne C-1 shopping center ai the southeast corner of Romneya
and East Street, and a service staiion at the northwest corner of Kenwood Avenue and
East Street. In total there are ten service stations between Lincoln and the River-
side Freeway. There are two commercial uses within the M-1 Zone at the rear of the
station at c'ast Street fronting on Balsam Avenue. The area on the west side of East
Street, east of the Flood Control Channel from Balsam Avenue north to the Free~ay
off-ramp is zoned h1-1, Light Industrial.
The history of the zoning cases (see file) seems to indicate a trend toward commercial
development of East Street frontage properties with a neighborhood type commercial
area developing at Sycamore and East Streets that is not in context with the nei9hbor-
hood shopping center concept as s=t forth by the General Plan. (Albertson's market
at the southwest corner and the restaurant and small shopping center in the northeast
corner.)
GF.'JERtiL PLAN
The General Plan presently designates the East Street frontage properties as predomi-
nantly low density residential with some medium density residential potential. Only
two neighborhood shopping centers are indicated, one at cast Street and Rom;~eya and
one at cast Street and Lincoln.
An analysis of the commercial support (using the same process as •~vas used in the
developm~nt of the commercial element of the General Plan) was done for the entire
study ~1ea (see Appendix II). Using neighborhood shopping center criteria, an area
of influence was delineated north, east, south and west of East Sireet, and statisti~,s
compiled indicating the economic support available in the study area. The analysis
(Appendix II) indicates that at present supermarket developments along East Street
exceed the available economic support by some 5,000 square feet, with other convenience
goods and service type stores just about at the saturation point. From the standpoint
of economics, there may be little or no support for additional commercial expansion of
the neighborhood commercia: facilities in this area.
If a decision is made to encoura9e th> further exte~sion of commercial development
along East Street, this would probably be as a result of land development policy and
not eco~omic support.
POLICY IMPLICATIOidS
Appendix III represents the results of the ten service station and 12 commercial zoning
actions approved on East Street within the study area in the last 15 years. Each of
the actior.~ granting the commercial use was consi.dered individually and at a different
point in time. $ut, when viewed as a whole, a definite development pattern is evident,
i.e., four concentrations of commercial development which could be expanded into a
commercial strip extending from the Riverside Freeway to Lincoln Avenue.

RECLSSSIFICATIOIJ - The General Plan indicates neighborhood shoppiny centers at Lincoln
N0. 65-66-120 and East Stree'~ and at Romneya and East Streets. However, a new nei~h-
borhood commercial concentration has develope~ : ~amere and East
VARIANCE N0. 1800 Street with a possib)e center developing a' :~d East Street
(service stations now exist on two of the ~ ,- corners at
ARcA DEVELOPMENT La Palma and East Streets). The communit~` _. s for develop-
PLAN N0. 68 ment indicates these areas as having res:• . . ,. General
(Continued) Plan Amendments have been presented with : , . t:~sti Street
but have historically been denied or r>fez ~.. •a;s for annual
review.
VJhen revievaing past zoning cases and Commission-Council actions on General Plan
Amendments, it becomes increasinoly obvious that a firm direction is needed for
future develonment of cast Street properties. fi definite statement of polir,y
concerning land use is needed to aid owners or the developers ef tnese East Street
properties. As far as future development is concerned, there are three possible
alternatives for cast Street within the defined study area (see Exhibits):
1. Retain tne existing low and medium density residential policy and
reflect ~eiyhborhood shopping centers at La Palma and East Street
and at Sycamore and Last Streets (see cxF~ibit A). This will indicate
an intent to retain East Street within the study area, as primarily
residential in nzture with neighborhood commercial in four designated
concentrations: Romneya and East, La ?alma and ~ast, Sycamore and
East, and Lincoin and cast.
2, Substitute the highway related commercial development for the exist-
ing low density residential developmen' fronting and siding on East
5treet (see c~nibit B). This would have the effect of ne9ati~g the
concept of concentrating commercial development in designated locations
and would, in fact, encourage ger 1 commercial us2s to spread along
cast Street from Lincoln to the :rside Freeway,
3. iiect neiyhUOrhood snoppiny centers at L~ ?alma and East Street znd
~r~amore and cast Street and consider comm-rcial professional uses for
the existing low density residential uses ironting or siding on cast
Street (see cxhibit C). ~ desic~ation such as tnis would indicate a
wiilingness to r~z^ne tiie 1ow de~sity r?sidential :ront and side-en
properties to perm:•- commerci~l o:fice typ? uses but still retain tne
neighborhood snoppi.~ c?nter concentration. Th=se comm?*cial-profes-
sional uses are not dependent upon walk-in business and usualiy serve
a larg? undefi~ed are~ rstner than a local trade area.
Each of the above ~evelopment aiternatives coulo be at this time, a looical ext?nsion
,. tne present development trend in this area. It is suggested t}~c~ the or.? a1t?rna-
i.ive reflecting the long-rango development pnilosopny of the Commission be adopted
and recommended to the City Council.
Suasequent to a Commission decision on the iuture of cdst Street properties in the
study area, the °lanning Commission mey wisn the staif to review the existing area
development plans and prepare any additional area develooment plans in line with their
long-range d~cision on land use."

THE HcNRIiJG WAS CLGSED.
Discussion was held between tiie Commission and the staff regarding the reouired dedicatior~
for street wider.ing for botfi sides of East Street, tooether with the exhibits displayed on
the Council Chamber wall, which gave three possiUle methods for UAVAlopment of the East
Street frontage lots, one of which might be recommended to the City Council for policy state-
ment in order that property owners of t^? R-1 homes might know what was acceptable to th2
City for those properties.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson, in response to Commission questioning, stated that the
petitioner had submitted a concept plan rather than detailed plans of development, and that
subject property was ~~acant at this time.

RECLASSIFICATION - It was also noted by the Commission that since multiple-family develop-
N0. 65-66-120 ment had occurred south of Sycamore Street and north of La Palma Avenue,
perhaps this might be a better method of development of the R-1 homes,
VARIANCE N0. 1800 ano that if subject petition were approved, this might set a precedent
for a pattern of develooment, with spot zoning in the area, which would
~~EE. DrVELOPMENT be detrimental to the appearance of an otherwise well established, single-
PLNN N0. 08 family residential development. Furthermore, the City might again be
(Continued) faced with a similar situation as that presently existing on I~orth Brook-
hurst Street which to this day has not been resolved.
Commissioner N~ungall offered Resolution No. P:,55-7 and moved for its passage and aaoption,
seconded by Commissioner ~llred, to recom~end to the City Council that Petition for Reclassi-
fication tJo. 65-66-120 be disapproved, based on tne fact that the proposed reclassification
would estoblish commercial uses in the c?nter of a block long established for residential
P'~=Poses; that single-family residential uses are establisned to the north, south, east and
west ~f subject property, and to permit commercial uses would estaolish an undesirable
precedent for similar requests of the R-1 homes frontina on East Street; and that the size
ar.d shape of the parcel,a:ter the required dedication was made, would be inadequate to
prop=rly develop for cornmercial uses; furthermore, if any heavier development of the R-1
property was projected in tne futur>, lar,d assembly should be made before consideration of
the r?quest is preser~ted to the Commission since it is undesirable to develop on a parcel
to parcel ~asis wnicn would create a disorderly development of the area with possible in-
compatible uses. (See Resolution Book.)

CONDITIONAt. USE - PUBLIC HEARING. WALTER HEMPHILL, 951 North Gilbert Street, Anaheim,
PERMIT N0. E364 California, Owner; requesting permission to establish a CHILD DAY NURSERY
on property described as: An irregularly shaped parcel of land situated
at the southwest corner of Gilbert Street and Rainbow Avenue and having
frontages of approximately 178 feet on G.lbert Street and approximately 190 feet o~ Rainbow
Avenue, and further described as 951 North Gilbert Street. Property presently classified
R-1, ONE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, LONE.
Mr. Walter Hemphill, the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and reviewed the proposed
development of subject property noting that, in his opinion, the ne: rs had not had a
chance to view the proposed landscaping development - however the o~.~~sition might be lessened
if they were to view these plans; that a six-foot masonry wall was prop~sed on the south and
west property lines, except for the required 25-foot setback wherr the wall would be 30 inches
high; that the extensive landscaoing proposed would act as a buff~r to noises from the 25 to
30 children proposed for subject property; that subject property faces Gilbert Street, and on
thr east side of Gilbert Street the Anaheim School District warehouse offices were located;
that the property consisted of approximately 30,000 square feet and would be more than ade-
quate to provide play facilities for the children; and that he had contacted the neighbors
to the south and across the street on Rainbow Avenue, who had expressed the feeling that the
proposed use of subject property would be a great improvement to that corner of Gilbert Street
and Rainbow Avenue.
A showing of hands indicated eight persons we:e present in the Council Chamber opposing
subject petition.
Mrs. Robert Hudson, 1001 Irene P1ace, appeared before the Commission and stated that subject
property would be inadequate to handle 25 to 30 children, even thuugh it was a large parcel;
that it would increase the traffic flow on Gilbert Street, which was a ver, narrow street;
that many children had to walk to school in the area, and this increase of traffic would be
hazardous to the school children; and that if subject petition were approved, this would
allow encroachment of commercial uses i~ the residenr.ial area, and then there would be no
r~aso;~ why the other neighbors could not request a similar use of their properties, and this
would ~hen create an undesirable commercial el.ementin the primarilyresidential area since no
commercial uses existed on Gilbert Street southerly of La Palma Avenue.
A1rs. HP1en Jones, 1014 Irene Place, appeared before the Commission in opposition and presented
a letter oi opposition and a petition signed by 17 property owners opposing the proposed use
of subject property, and stated ever/one she had spoken with reaarding subject petition had
expressed his opposition to subject petition. Furthermore, tiie majorit.y of the prop?rty owners
in the area had resided there since the tract was constructed, whereas the petitioner had
resided in the area less than a year.
Mrs. Ed Brown, 1015 Irene Flace, appeared before the Commission and stated that her husband
had co;itacted the State Welfare Uepartment regarding requirements for a nursery school and
had been informed that for each child in a nursery school, 35 square feet were required in-
doors and 45 square feet outdoors; that the operators of the proposed nursery school would
have to supply rooms for the teachers for their rest area, as well as a sick room for children
who became i~l and were waiting for their parents to pick them up; that considerable increase
in iraffic would occur on Giluert Street which would be hazardous to the children who had to

CONDITIONAL USE - walk to school, and this traffic would be in additior to the traffic
PERMIT N0. 864 from the high school on Brookhurst Street.
(Continued)
In rebuttal, Mr. Hemphill stated he had contacted the property owners
adjacent to him, as well as contacting the property owners who were
out of town; that he was unable to understend why the residents of the area were not desir-
ous of having an improvement in the area; and that he did not know where nursery schools
could be located since they were not appropriate for a shopping area.
Mrs. Cecelia Stewart, 1008 Irene Place, appeared before the Commission and stated she had
owned her prcpertv for seven years; that she had known both the petitioner and his wife for
l a number of years and could vouch for their inte9rity and the type of operation ihey would
conduct; and that she lived as close to the proposed nursery school as many of the neighbors-
, however she was in favor of the proposed nursery school.
Two letters from adjoining property owners were read to the Commission in opposition to
subject petition - one from Mrs. Dorothy McClellan, 2403 Greenbriar Avenue and the other
from Frederick J. Ball, 2420 Rainbow Avenue.
THE HEARII4G ~VAS CLOSED.
; Discussion was held by the Commission, it bsing noted a nursery school was more appropriate
in a residential area than a commercial area; that most of the City schools were located in
residential areas; that the developer of subject property was proposing considerable land-
scaping which would improve the property, as well as provide for a buffer for the noises
from the nursery; and that the proposed development would be an asset to the area rather
than a detriment.
The Commission made inquiry of th? subdivision of trie small parcel to the south on a previous
petition, noting that the lot was substandard in size, althouyh similar in size to that. of
the adjacent properties; that the proposed nursery would not require access from Rainbow
Avenue since it was proposed to have a circular drive along Gilbert Street; and that the
petitioner was indicating construction of a garage on subject property so that at any
future date the structure could 'oe converted into a residence.
';I: Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission there was adequate off-street park-
i^; on subject property for the propos=d use.
Commissioner Herbst of:ered Resolution tvo. PC55-13 and moved for its oassage and adoption,

Street, Anaheim, California, Agent; requesting permission to CONDUCT
RETkIL SALES IN THE M-1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, ZONc on property described as: An irregularly
shaped parcel having a frontage of approximately 45 feet on the west side of Baxter Sireet
and having a maximum depth of approximately 620 feet, subject property being bounded on
the south side by the Riverside Freeway, and further described as 1407 North Baxter Street.
j Property presently classified M-1, LIGHT ~NDUSTRIAL, ZOIJE.
~'vir. ?.rnold Stanton, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated that
subjeci property was leased by Rug-A-Rama; that basically the business was operated as a
warehouse for five retail locations; t'r,at occasionally customers who had proposed a rather
substantial purchase o: rug material asked to see a roll of the rug rather than the small
samples on display in the retail stores; that they were not prepared to have a salesroom
since the warehouse consisted primarily of office personnel; that a ve~•y limited number of
people came to the viarehouse, and the use was established pri:narily for their convenience;
furti~ermore, the sign which was erected on the outside had been erected to direct these
customers to the location of the warehouse.
Assistant Develooment Services Director nobert N~ickelson advised the Commission that the
warehouse had a large orange and black sign advertising retail uses in the PA-1 Zone which
was in violation of tite Sign Ordinance; that the department had contacted the p?titioner
and advised him ti~at only incidental retail sales were allowed in the ~9-1 Zone; that an
advertising sign indicatin9 retail sales was not permitted; and that in order to conform
with the uses established in the h9-1 Zone, said advertising sign would 'nave to be removed.
The petitioner then reviewed the location of subject property and the type of structures
on subject property, stating that the orange and blac!c, 100-foot sign was on the property
when they leas?d it.
Zoning Suoervisor Ronold Thompson advised *_h~ petitio~er that ihe sign on the southerly
portion of the building was more than the 20;6 permitted by Code, whereupon the petitioner
stated he would remove this sign.
The Commission al=_o noted thst a directional sign was located in the landscaped area of
the service station site on State College Boulevard, and the Sign Ordinance did not provide
:or this type of direction~l sign on someone else's propertya
Commissioner Herbst stated th~t the City would have no objection to the incidental use of
subject propert~~ fer zetail sales - however the siyn indicatirig retail sales would have to
be removed sincE~ many of the other manufacturers in the area were registering complaints
with the Cit/ re:aarding the retail sales sign.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the Commission that denial of subject oetition
would limit the amount of retail sales of the petitioner since they must be incidental to
th: uses establi.shed, and the 9ranting of the variance would, in effect, convert a portion
of subject pr~perty into a retail store.
A lettei• of opposition from a manufacturer in the area was read to the Gommission.
' Commission?r Rovaland offered Resolution IJo. ?C65-15 ar.d moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Comnissioner Herbst, to deny Petition zor Variance f~o. 1809 on the basis that
the retail sign and uses of subject property were net necessary since the petitioner had
' indicated that only incider.tal sales we:= involved, and no retail store or sales people
~~~ were on the premises, and that there were no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
~ _ or ronditions applicable to subject property which did not apply to properties in that area.

VARIANCE N0. 1810 - PUBLIC HEARING. ROBERT E. ANDERSON, ET AL, 1419 North State College
Boulevard, Anaheim, California, Owners; requesting permission to
ESTABLISH RcTAIL PLUMBING SALES IN THE M-1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, ZONE
on property described as: An irregularly shaped parcel of land with a frontage of approxi-
mately 110 feet on the west side of State College Boulevard and hzving a maximum depth of
approximately 169 feet, the north boundary of subject property being approximately 350 feet
south of the centerline of Via Burton Street, and further described as 1419 North State
College Boulevard. Property presently classified P4-1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, ZONE.
Mr. Matthew Kurilich, attorney representing the petitioner, appeared before the Commission
and reviewed the location of subject property and the problems incurred because the peti-
tioner had established approximat:ely 14% of his business as retail; that the petitioner was
operating the business as any other plumbing shop in the City; that at the time the sign was
erected, the petitioner had requested the retail sign before the City Council and had been
granted a license for both retail end wholesale operations; that there Nere many other retail
operations on State College Boulevard; that the display area of the retail operation indicated
the types of bathrooms instalied by the plumbing contractors; and that the petitioner had
attempted in the past to upgrade the ar=~.
Fssistant Development Servic?s llirector Robert Pdickelson, in response to Commission question-
ing, stated that the sign request to which Mr. Kurilich had referred had occurred prior to
the adoption of the Sign Ordinance; that the staff in their recommendations to the City Council
had indicated the retail siqn portion be remo~ed - however the City Council action approved
the sign and referred only to the rotating beacon, and subject to obtainin9 a businesslicer,se;
that although the petitioner had received a retail license, this did not give him th2 auto-
matic right to operate in the zone since it did not have any effect on the zoning or land use
of property; that the staff had a policy of administering signs in the P~1-1 Zone - however the
sales of the plumbing shop were more than ir~cidental sales, and thus the petitioner was re-
quested to file a variance.
Commissioner Her~st was of the opinion tnat retail sales which consisted of the majority of
an operation were r.ot compatible in the h,-1 Zone b~cause of the increasing amount of traffic
projected into the industrial area; that if the petitioner removed his retail sign which
advertised the fact that t;e had a retail operation, less object.ion would be made since the
percentage stated by the petitioner more or less indicated incide:~tal sales in the M-1 Zone.
The petitioner noted tha~ tie was desirous of operatiny in a similar manner as he had in the
oa;t.
~he Commission also noted that although service stations and restaurants were commercial in
character, tney were permitted uses in the :'~1-1 Zone because tney were offering services,
and tnat the staff and Commission had received nur~erous complaints from the industries in
tne area regarding tne existing retail sign.
ln response to questioning b~ thF petitioner, the Commission advised 'nirn Fluidmaster Corpora-
tion was one oi the industries which had complained, as well as several or" the smaller
industries in the area.
Mir. Robert Anderson, the petiiioner, appeared before the Commission and stated that prior
to purct~asiny subject property, he had discussed the e~cist.in~; operation with Mr. Thompson
wi~o had stated that retail sales could only be incidental to the use; that the retail sales
weze not the major portion of the business, and they had always stated they were doing what
other plumbing shops were doing in the City - however, the signing of the property for retail
uses was never brought up in :hP conversation; that plumbing contractors were not perr~itted
in any other zone, ~nd it would 'oe a hardship to try to relocate in a zone in which tney were
not permitted since Sears Roebuck was in the C-1 ~one and Bill YJard the Plumber was in down-
town P.naheim, a C-2 Zone; and that the si9n was approved at the time the retail license was
grdnted.
Considerable discussion was then held by tt~e Commission, the staff, and the petitioner
rega,.uing the granting of the retail siqn and the business 1_cense as it pertained to the
ordinances of tne City of Anaheim since the Fd-1 Zone did not permit retail sales unless
they were incider~tal to the established use.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts then clarified the reason why the petitioner was pe=mitted
to ;,ave a retail business license.
~,:` Pdr. Anderscn then stated he vuo~~ld remo~~e the sign in the window along State Colle9e Boulevard.

(Continued) relative to the reason why the petitioner was required to iile a
variance si~ce the City Council had granted the sign, and that althc~gh
' the petitio:~r had stated only 14% of his sales were retail, this would
involve auditing procedures by tne City in order to verify this figure.

station site at the corner of La Palma Aver~ue and Harbor Boulevard, further noting that some
difficulty h~d been experienced with the traffic flow on the oroperty, and th? reouest for
reclassification of the parcel to tne south was now being requested,and the relocation of
" the pumps southerly of the existing site and the blaci:topping o: t~,e balance would provide
for adequate traf:ic flow.
Iv1r,. Lae, in response io Commission questioning, stated that tne oetition he hao iiled was
for the ~0 by 109-foot parcel southerly of the existing service station site and did rot
encompass tne eniire pare?1; tnat there was no intentio~ of dedication of additio~al property
along La Palma Nvenue sinc? tnis would mean the relocation of the pumps and other structurese
The Commission noted ti~at ~t the time the service statio~ site had been considered at public
hearing be:ore them, the Commission felt the site was too small for a service station, and
thdt it would not be compatible with the R-1 prop~rties immediately adjacent.
I
I f+lr. Lae tnen stated that at the time the service station was propos=d, the prooerty owner
of subject property was not interested in tne sale of i~is property, and that the peti~ioner
was opposing tne additional dedication for street wideniny along La Pa1ma Avenue.

of dedication on La Palma Avanue and wnether or not it would be possible '~o widen La Polma

; should be applicable to subjec.t petition since previous dedication hac; been made along
' La Palma F.venue; ano whether or not dedication snould oe required at tnis time or required
i at 'the time the City acquired dedication along the souih side of La Palma Avenue for street

PERMIT N0. 863 of land situated at the northeast corner of Ball Road and Westvale Drive
and havin~ frontages of approximately 219 feet on Ball Road and approxi-
mately 100 feet on Westvale Drive, and further described as 3341, 3347,
and 3351 West Ball Road. Prooerty presently classified R-1, ONE-FAMILY
RtSIDENTIAL, ZONE.
RtQUcSTED CLASSIFICATION: C-0, COPNu1ERCIAL OFFICE, ZONE.
REQUESTED CONDITIONAL USE: PERMIT THE GFFICE USE OF EXISTING RESIDENTIAL
STRUCTURtS WITH WAIVER OF MINIMUM SITE AREAS.
Mr~ Kenneth Lae, agent for the petitioners, appeared before the Commission and reviewed
the proposed use of the existing structures for office use, further noting that a hospital
and professional office complex nad been constructed on the south side of Ball Road; that
ihe traffic pattern would not change since it was proposed to have access to and from subject
property from the alley to the north; that traffic along Ball Road had made it impossible to
_ use the existing residences for living purposes; that any additional beautification the
Commission might desire to have in the fo_- of landscaping would be met by the petitione*s;
and that the existing structures would be ._odified to eliminate their residential appearance.
Mr. Lae also not=d that th?re were several peti~ions denied and one approved for C-0 uses in
close proximity to subject property; however, the one approved has never developed, and that
subject property would be used for professional oifices~
Mro Jerry beriin, 909 'Nestvale Drive, appeared before the Commission to represeni five persons
present in the Council Cnamber and presented a petition signed by 43 property oNners opposing
subject petitions and stated that thF proposed commercial use of subject property would be an
encroachment into an area primarily resioential in character; that since the residentialtract
to the north had only Westvale Drive for an access, the property owners were r,-t desirous of
havin9 commercial encroacnment at ihe entrance of ±neir tract since chis would be detrimental
to the residential integrity of the area; and tt~at there was adequate vacant lano which coulo
`. be d?veloped for commercial purposes, without jeopardiziny the residential environment by
~ placing commercial development on subject property.
'_' I~irs. Jess?.. Edmonds, 3348 W=st Ueerwood Urive, appeared before the Commission in oppositi~n
and stated that she P~ad resided in her home for only or.e year; however, if she had known at
the time she had purchased her home commercial develooment was contemplated, sne would not
have purchased it since her nome was immediately adjacent to t'r.e alley whicii had access from
Westvale Drive.
h1r. Lae, in rec~uttal, stated that tne petitioners were planning to place aoequate landscaping
? alony th> west property line to snield the property; that no lights or large signs were pro-
` posed; and tnat the petitionershad owned their structures for some - nowever they felt :he
1 homes were no io~ger desiraole for r=sidential purposes because of tne heavy traffic, and,
: furth?rmore, only one home might be affected by the proposed use, that being immediately to
d the west, which also bordered on da11 Road.
iJ~r. G. ?. Erooks, 3341 6Vest Ball Road, or~e of the petitioners, appeared before ti~e Commissiun
and stated that since the hospital and medical complex were built on the south side of Ball
Road, considerable more traific was experienced on the street; that their propeities buffereo
the noises of tne tra::ic :rom ti-~e liomes to ti~e north-therefor? they did not experience the
same type oi pro~iems as property ewners on Ba11 Road~
THE HcARII4~ WAS CLOSrL'.
Discussion was held by the Commission which indicated that there seemed to be no justification
of land use change for the north side of Ball Road to warrant recommending commercial zoning
be considered by the City Council; that tne entire area was an established residential community
and should be maintained in that manner; that the homes were well maintained, and many homes
faced or. arterial streets and 'nighways wi~ere heovy traffic was experienced - however this should
not preclude any consideration of land use change.
Commissioner Herbst offered Resolution ;io. PCG6-23 and moved for its passage and adoption,
'~ ~ seconded by Commissioner Allred, to recommer.d to the City Council that Potition for Reclassi-
, fication iVo. 55-57-4 be disapproved on the basis that the proposed commercial use would be an
i_ encroachment into a residential area and would be incompatible, and that no land use changes
,~ had taken place on the north side of 3z11 Road to warrant consideration of commercial uses
*~ for said propurty. (See Resolutior, Book.)

similar landsca~ed berm treatment for all pit operations within
the City of Anaheim providing for a continuing maintenance of

of the property owner if the property owner fails to maintain it
in a manner satisfactory to the Parkway Maintenance Division of
the Public Works Departmer.t or Development Services Department.
Commissioner Herbst offered a motion to recommend to the City Council that the water
spreadin, facility proposed to be located near the southeast corner of Jefferson Street
and ia Palma Avenue by the Orange County Water District be considered a necessary and
appropriate land use for the area, provided it is properly shielded with landscaping
as pr~posed along La Palma Avenue and the west property line. Commissioner Rowland

The Commission indicated, upon perusal of the trailer ordinance, that the final draft as
presented to them was acceptable in form.

Zoning Supervisor Ronald Ihompson presented Orange County Use Variance IJo. 5757 to the
Commission noting the location of subject property and the proposed use of the property.
The zoning and use of properties to the north, south and east of subject property were
indicated, as w?11 as the fact that the proposed use would not be permitted in the R-1
Zone of the City of Anaheim. Furthermore, it was noted that a new R-1 subdivision is
under construction on the east side of IIrookhurst Street opposite of subject property,
and that although RP Zoning existed southerly of subject property, no retail sales had
been established by variance or zoning in the immediate area; therefore, the proposed
use would constitute a disruption of th? essentially residential character of the area.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to recommend to ttie City Council
that the Orange County Ptanning Commission be urged to deny Orange
County Use Variance No. 5757, based on the facts that the proposed
use would constitute a disruption of the residential environment already established
on the west, north and east of subjecr property, and that the proposed use would establish
an undesirable precedent for the establishment of commercial uses in the other single-family
homes on the west side of Brookhurst Street, thus creating strip commercial development which
would have an undesirable effect on the area. Commissioner Gauer seconded the motion.
MOTION CARRIED. (Commissioner Perry was absent.)
ITEM N0. 4
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0. 438 - Casualty Insurance Company -

Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson presented development plans for Phase II of the Casualty
Insurance Company property located on the southwest corner of Manchester Avenue and the
_ Santa pna Freeway, and reviewed the report to the Commission regarding the proposed plans.
It was noted the height of the st:ucture was in conformance with the Commercial-Recreation
Area Height Standard Guideline, and that although a 50-foot parking-landscaping zone was
required, a portion of the structure was proposed to enc:oach into this zone, and the entire
setback was proposed to be fully landscaped.
The Commission reviewed the plans as tney pertained to the requirements of Resolution No.
838, Series 1962-63, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 438.
Commissioner Herbst offered a motion to approve development plans for Conditional Use ?ermit
No. 438, Phase II, marked Exhibit Nos.l and 2. Commissioner Mungall seconded the motion.

ITEM N0. 5
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0. 848 - Doghouse Restaurant at 324 South
Brookhurst Street - Clarification of Condition No. 5.
Associate ?1ann~r Jack Christof;erson presented and reviewed for th? Commission their
previous action on Conditional Use Permit [~o. 848, noting that th? agent for the petitioner
had requested ciarification of tne condition requiring that a document be recorded with the
Grange Courty 3ecorder providing for mutual access and parking for subject and adjacent
properties.
::ir. ~ames Hodges, agent fo* tne petitioner, appeared before tn~ Commissior, and reviewed what
he tnought Dr. Sellon, the property owner, had meant when he stated there was odequate oark-
ing on the adjoining properties.
Chairman Camp stated that since Dr. Sellon had indicoted there was adequate parking, it was
tne Commission's opinion that no ~.vaiver be 9ranteo. ComT,issioners Gauer, Allred, ~~erbst,
and ;aiungall concurred in the statement that the Commis~ion had not granted an~~ wsiver of
the parking requirements.
Commissioner Rowland stated that parking is computed at a different ratio for enclosed
restauronts and walk-up restaurants, and since 'the petitioner indicoted that any shortage
of parking for the Cognouse Restaurant could be provided elsewhere, the requireinent of a
mutual access and parking ayreement was properly indicated in the Commission's resolution.
Commissioner Nerbst offered a motion to reaffirm tne Commission's action in Resolution
[Jo. 2054, Series 1965-00, dated June o, 1956, in which no waiver of the required parking
was granted. Commissiorer Gauer seconded the motion. h40?IOI4 CARRIED. (Commissioner

RECOMMENDATIONS RECLASSIFICATION IdO. 51-62-123 - Establishment of a teen-age night
(Continued) club in the C-1 Zone, located at the northeast corner of 6tate College
Boulevard and Ball Road.
Associate Planner Jack Christofferson reviewed for the Commission the request of the
Fredricks Development Company for an interpretation from the Planning Commission regard-
ing the possibility of establishin9 a teen-age night club in the commercial center located
at the northeast corner of Ball Road and State College Boulevard, since the plans approved
indicated the limitation to retail shops; that the staff had advised a representative of
Fredricks that a conditional use permit would be required for the proposed type of use,
and one of the problems which might be encountered would be the shortage of parking;
furthermore, a representative of Betker-Fredricks Properties, Incoroorated was present
in the Council Chamber to explain what was proposed.
Mr. E. J. Garner, representing the Betker-Fredricks Properties, appeared before the Commis-
sion and stated they had been approached by operators of similar teen-age night clups in
Arizona, with the possible thought of operating the night club in the retail shopping area
and also providing for teen-age clothing, record shop, and similar operations patronized
by teen-agers; t}~at although the shopping area was being developed, it had been diffic»lt
in locating tenants for the proposed establishments, and corsiderable parking was available
in the shopping area.
Mr. Garner further stated that the proposed operators were in the Council Chamber, if the
Commission was desirous of asking questions, and that letters from City officials nf areas
wnere other teen-age night cluba wer? located were also avail~ble for the Commission to
consider.
The Commission advised the proponents that any consideration of a teen-age night club would
have to be considered at public hearing and suggested that the owners of the snopping area
at the northeast corner of State College Boulevard and Ball Road file a conditional use
permit requesting the proposed use.
ITEM N0. 7
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0. 394 - Convalescent home located on the
west side of Melrose Avenue between Lincoln Avenue and Broadway -
Interpretation to determine if current zonin9 is adequate to allow
reuse of the existing facilities ~s a home for mot.hers-to-be.
Associate Planner Jack Christofferson presented the request for clarification of the
proposed use as it compared with the use previously approved for the property and further
reviewed the location oi subject property under Conditional Use Permit No. 394.
Idr. John Von der Heide, representing the proposed lessee and the owner of subject property,
appeared before the Commission and reviewed what was proposed, in addition to that indicated
in the letter submitted to the Gommission by the lessee.
Chapter 18.08, Definitions, Section 18.08.610 - Rest Homes; Section 18.08.130 - Boarding
House; and Section 18.08.240 - Convalescent Homes were reviewed by Mr. Von der Heide, in
which he noted that the proposed use was similar to these uses, and that the lessee was
requesting this interpretation in order that the stigma attached to a previous request
for a home for unwed mothers might not be read into the proposed requesto
The Commission reviewed the previous use approved for subject property and compared it
with the prooosed useo After questioninq Mr. Von der Heide, it was determined that the
proposed use was too far removed from that o:iginally approved for Cor.ditional Use Permit
Voo 394, and informed I~r. Von der Heide that if the proposed use for subject property was
to be considered, it should be through filing of a new conditional use permit and public
hearing beiny held in order thot adjoining property owners might h~ve an idea of the pro-
posed use for a home which had been patronized by older persons since many elderly people
resided in ~he area in which it was proposed to be located.

The revision of the map, Mr. Christofferson stated, primarily involved the street width
o: °uther:ord Street. ;he enyineer for tiie projec't indicates that a discrepancy involving
a 5-foot strip of land alor.g the eastern boundary of the property exists between his survey
and the previous survey. He further states that this discrepancy could be resolved by a
reduction i~ the width of Rutherford Street ai this time, or b•/ a reduction in the width
of the lots of thF tract; however, the developers preferred no: to reduce the width of the
lots, since precise architectural plans had been prepared already for each lot. Instead
he proposed that the eastern half-width of 4utherford Street be improved at this time with-
out the disputed 5-foot strip to provide a travel lane only on that side. The iull width
of the street would be provided at such time as the tract to the east developed, since one
of the conditions of approval of the adjoining tract requires `he fu11 improvement of the
half-street.
The staff recommendation was also reviewed for the Commission.
