on property described as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land (approximately 150 feet
by 332 feet), the southerly boundary of subject property being approximately 136 feet north
of th~ centerline of Hiawatha Avenue and the northerly boundary being approximately 510
feet south of the centerline of Lincoln Avenue, and further described as 2144 West Lir.coln
Avenue. Property presently classified P-1, AUTOMOBILE PFRKING, ZONE.
Subject petition was continued from the meeting of A9arch 13, 1967, to a11ow tirne :or the
petitioner to submit revised plans.
Associate Planner Jac;c Christofferson reviewed subject petition and the reason for its
continuance, noting that no revised plans had been received; however, the agent for tf~e
petitioner had indicated that the roof parking would be eliminated, which would create a
shortage of 50 parking spaces; and that the main concern of the Commission would be the
relatioaship of the proposed 20-foot high structure to the R-1 homes immediately adjacer.t
to the southo
Mr. R. L. Coons, representing the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and statad
that he and representatives of Lin-Brook Hardware had reviewed the various plans and
proposal previously submitted to the i:ommission with the R-1 prooerty owners; how4ver,
at that meeting some new factors had been presented, and as a result, he was requesting
that subject petition be continued four weeks in order to allow time for the petitioners
to review suggestions made at the meeting with the opposition.
~' Mr, Robert Lemos, 2147 West Hiawatha, appeared before the ~:on.~nission in opposition and
y,~ stated he was in attendance at the previous hearing. .4t that time the Chairman thought
;; a two-week continuance would be sufficient to submit an alternate proposal - however,
~: after 12 days, the petitioner finally contacted the residents of the area; that he had
:~ attended the meeting primarily because he was interested in determining what new proposal
~`~ would be submitted - however, he was disappointed to find that no new proposal was Leing
'~ , planned, and at the meetir.g the agent had more or less explained the same situation and
a plan, with the exception that the roof parking was proposed to be eliminated; that from
:9 * what he coulc: dete*mine, it was ttie petitioner°s plan to develop under the original pro-
~,~ „sx posal; that at the meeting interested persons came up with an alternate plan of expansion

VARIANCE N0. 1859 - of one of the blueprints presented - however, the petitioner had
(Continued) indicated that it was not feasible in thei* estimation and had been
their second choice; that the first hour of the meeting with the resi-
dents had been spent trying to reason with the property owners why the
original plans submitted would beautify their property, and the last half hour was spent
listening to the residents' proposal; and that the change recommended by t~e residents would
give suffici.ent room behi.nd the Fuller paint store for the proposed warehouse, and said
property was presently zoned C-1. However, the petitioner had indicated he did not wish
to use all of the property presently zoned C-1 and was more desirous of using the P-1
property; that they had indicated they would take the recommendations of the residents
under consideration; and that in his estimation, there were sufficient plans available if
th? alternative plan was submitted, rather than continue subject petition to anotner meet-
ing since he felt he was being imposed upon because he already had lost eight hours of
work appearing before the Commission, and he did not feel the property owners should be
subjected to a further continuance. Furthermore, the Commission s'r,ould consider the present
proposal and decide whether or not a 20-foot high builoing woulo be acceptable across seven
hom?s, or whether or not an alterr.ate plan should be used - however, it was his opinion
that Lin-Brook was not planning to submit any other proposals, bu~ wanted to "drag" this
out to try to talk some of the residents into accepting the original plans.
Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to continue Petition for Variance No. 1859 io the
meeting of April 24, 1967, in order to allow the petitioner time to review altErnate plans
for submission to the Commission. Commissioner hiungall seconded the motion, ~70TI0,4

MULTIPLE-FAMILY RrSIDENTIAL, ZOIJc.
Commissioner Camp left the Council Cnamber at 2:12 P.M. Chairman pro tem Herbst assumed
the cftairmanship of the meeting.
Associate Planner Jack Christofferson reviewed the proposed development, the location of
subject property, and t;;a uses established in close proximity.
Mr. Robert Cumminqs, agent for the petitioner and consultant to Churchman's Foundation,
app=ared before the Comm~ssion and noted that the proposed development would provide for
residential accommodat.ions for senior citizens, a~d financing would be in accordance witn
Section 202 of the :Jational Housing Act of 1959 available to non-profii orga~izations;
that the loan would be amortized for 50 years at an i~terest rate of 3~ on the unpaid
balance, and in order to qualify for tiiis 1oan, the facilities would be made available
to the low and low-medium income rentals; that incon;e per single person could not exceed
$4,U00 per year, and income for a h~sband and wife could not exceed $4,800 per year: that
all residents woulu i~ave to be able to care for inemselves, physically and financially, .:nd
demonstrate tney could meet these requirements; tha~ in the eve^t they became iniirm, they
and their nex.t of kin would agree that accommodat.ions would be provided elsewfiere; that
the pnilosophy bei~ind the program, wi;ich was an act of Congress, was to provide housing
for intelligent, mature p,=rsons so that the elderly may kept in the well stream of :ife
and to afford them the opportunity of residing in the commur,ity in which they had lived
for a number of years, together with keeping them active in community affairs.
iu1r. Cummings noted that a similar development was now in operation in San Diegu, which
was the first of its ki~d in the countryg that this operation had opened up twu years ago
and now had a waiting list of 130 to 150 persons; that rents for this type of facility
would be from $67.50 for efficiency apartments up to ~111.00 per munth for units from the
second to the seventh floor, and $80~00 and up for others which were one-bedroom units;
that a tower council would be established with a representative from each :loor to resolve
any problems which might occur; that there would be no regim~~~;ation of the program, u~d
the intent and policy within the structure would be partici~~ation in whatever activities
the residents desired, and they could participate in any o. none of the activities; tnat
another 14-story high-rise facility will open in Pasoder.a approximately the first of
July, 1967 - t.hat tt,is facility had 150 units, and ~t~e} already had 1,200 reservations
for this 15G-unit facility; anci that all who had made application for these facilities
stated that the proposed type of facility met the de<.ires of the elderly people.

VARIANCE N0~ 1861 - Mro Cumminys then reviewed the parking requirements and needs of the
(Continued) San Diego facility, noting that only 16 persons of the 200 residents
owned an automobile; that national surveys and Department of Housing
surve~~s, which he was submitting to the ~:ommission, indicated that 33
similar projects in which parking was proposed indicated the percentage of cars per dwe11-
ing unit never exceeded 14%,with only 24~ of these facilities iised; that the proposed peti-
tion indicated waiver of the parking requirements in which the national average indicated
a minimum of 20 parking spaces and a maximum of 44 parking spaces - however, the proposed
plan indicated 50 parking spaces; and that the figures on the national average would also
be submitted to the Commission~ ~
~ Two years of experience in San Diego, Mr, ~ummings continued, in which there were 202 apart-
:~~1~-~ ments, 234 residents were in the facility, and historically the female species outlived the
; ' male; that the figures on the San Diego facility indicated 189 female residents and 45 male,
~~~~ witn onl 27 married cou ~es• that the densit
~', y p_ , y per souare foot for all units wouid be
1 considerably less because fewer people would 'ce living in each unit; ~i1at the average age
' of the residents was 72 years, and the philosophy was to provide housing ;or the agile,
t~ mobile, and able elderly people, an~ wnere housing was provided for this type of peoole,
'.; their 1i;e was considerably exter.ded where there mental and physical health was m~intained.
-' Commissioner Gauer inquired wnetner or not tne residents of the facility would be asked to
i leave in the eve~t o; tneir inability to be able to take care of themselves, or because of
illness.
Mr. Cummings replied in tne affirmative, statin9 that they must agree to fin6 other accom-
modations if they were ill or unable to care for themselves. Furthermore, the fact that
there was concern for th=se people was indicated by each apartment unit having two panic
buttons wired to the manager ano custodian's apartmer.ts to assist them if there was need
for assistance, and tfiEY would receive fast response in the event o; broken bones, etc.,
and thzt management would take care of notifying their r.ext of kin.
It was also noted that the Churchma~'s Foundation would be responsible for tne facility,
and the :ederal government would periodically, rot less tiian once a year, audit the opera-
tion and its books, and any facility of this ty~~e was subject to checks by the U. S.
Government rnany times during ihe year.
fJ~r. Cummings also noted that witn him at tne public nearing were Gene YJindry, arep:esent.ative
of the architect, and Raymond Wellington of the Churcnman's Foundation, Deciples of Gi~_ist,
and a representative of Chapman C~11ege, together with Jack Falke:,~oer3 who were avaiiable
to answer questions regarding the plans submitted to the Commission~
A showing of nands indicated 40 persons present in the Co~~ncil Chamoer in opposition to
subject petition.
Mr.:JorbertFaessel, 500 ;dorth ~lementine Street, appeared before the Commission in opposi-
tion, noting ne was opposed to the many requests ;or woivers of the Code requirements;
that for the 19o dwelling units proposed, only 50 parking soaces were indicoted - wnicn
tle felt would ado immeasurably to an already untenable parhing problem in close prcximity
to Pearson Park; tiiat more parking would be .^.ecessary because there was no grocery store
witnin four blocks of the facilit~~~, a~d it woulo be ouite di;ficult ior tiiese elderly
people to have to carry tneir groceries so far; ti~at no provi ns were indicated for
physicians,and tne City did not nai+e a geriatrician; that ti~~oposed apartments would
be less than 20 by 20 feet, and tiiat in his estimation, t'~:ese would be gloriiieo flop-
houses witn a beautiful view of the park; that no provisio~. was made for recreation focili-
ties oiher than access to Pearson ?ark, limiting these elderly people to their small apart-
ments unless the developer ielt th? residents should utilize ti~e puolic park - whicii was
a facility ior all residents of tne City and snould not be considered as the reauired
recreation iacilities for these eloerly people; tnat ti~e elderly peoole woula have to cross
a busy street to gain access to the park wi~ici~ would present a very hazsrdous condition;
and that the residents of the area were opposed to a 182-foot high structure in the same
manner Disneylano opposed any high-rise structure since tnis would be an infringement uf
the privacy of tne residents in tne area. Furtnermore, ti~e developer snould purchase
sufficient property to provide for parking and recreation facilities; however, he was of
tne opinion the proposed development was ur,desirable for ti~e neignoorhood in wi~ich it was
proposed.
Mr. Richard Borden, 400 West Alberta Street, appeared before tne .;ommission, stating that
he also represented his neigiibors opposing a 17-story, high-rise building in close proximity
to a very nice residential area; tnat said structure would Ue visible from a considerable
distance, as well as presentin~ ar, undesirabl~ appearance to the visitors to t'.~e park;3no that
he urged the Commission to retain tne residential integrity of tne area by dFnying subject
petition,

VARIANCE N0. 1861 - Mr. Glenn Fry, 1115 ;Jorth Boden Drive, appeared in opposition, stating
(Continued) that in addition to the opposition previously presented, he had a few
more items of opposition to present; namely, 1) that the proposed high-
rise structure was i~consistent with the projections as indicated on
the Anaheim General Plan; 2) what effect would the proposed development have on the proper-
ties contiguous to it, especially if all the waivers were granted7 3) if waivers were 9ranted,
would this, in effect, start a complete breakdown of the City's Code requirements o~ other
multiple•-family development; 4) was this a federally sponsored project, and if so, how could
the details of the project be made~:vai.lableto the citizens of the City in order tnat a
proper evaluation could be made? 5) could a different manner of land assembly be made which
would be more consistent with good City planning? o) should not this p?tition be considered
by the City Council as well as the Commission because of Lf1E many implications it hao on
the General Plan and urbsn re-development of the downtown area, of which subject prooerty
is a port? - and, £urther~aore, he was presenting a petition signeo by 140 persons, all in
opposition, as w211 as expressi~g their concern about the aforementioned inauiries since
future development of surrounding properties would 'oe governed by what was approved for
suoject property; and that the agent should explain why iaxes were paio under protest py
the operators of ~he San Diego facility, and wnetner this woulo be applied to SUDjECt
property, tnus taking tne property off tiie tax rolls, eve^ *.hough public ;scilities WC'?'E
being used for wnicn tne citizens of tne City were being taxed.
Fdrs. ?earson, 085 [Jorth Heleno Street, appeared in oppositioa and stateo it was noped sne
would DE able to ao.:ress .;nGirman Camp, c•~t since tnis was ~ot possible, sne would atte^~pt
to convey ner opposition to tne ?lanning ~ommission and noted sne was a prejudiced witr.ess;
tnat her family and she had paio ~axes in tne ~ity for over 50 years; that problems hac
always been resolved by meetino wit~ tne r.eignbors - however, this nad not been possible
since no one was available to answer tneir questions; that tneir was ;o cnurcn in the City-
of the Ueciples of Christ-to determine a comparison and its ef,ect o^ t:~e City; tnat sne
was greatly concerned tna~ the strong ~o^ing Code built over the years in tne City woulo
be in danger oi bei~g oroken if tne proposed waivers were granted; tr.at tne lures o: a
i7-story ouilding, while it was geared to eld=ry people, might nave sorce serious ei;ec;.s
on the requirements for oti~er R-3 develooments, present and potential, inr tne City; tnat
tnis was the first time in 50 years sne had a negative attitude as i^ the proposed de~/elop-
ment - however, her concern was a concern for the City from a woman's vi~wpoi~t.
idr. Cummings, in rebuttal, stated tnat the waiver reouest for tne number of parking spacFs
was predicated on ti~e prior experience in tne San Diego complex, toyether witn surveys ma~e
by the Federal Government and tne otner 33 developments througnout tre country; that oniy
four parkir.g spaces would be necessary fo: employees since there would be only a manager,
assistant manager, custodian, and assistant custodian - however, all four woulu not be
tnere around-the-clock; that tnis woulo be an excellent opportunity to develop subject
property to its optimum since tnese elderly people would be mobile, vital people wno would
iiave access to the downtown area; that the park facilifi?s across the street mac:e this zn
ideal location; that oetails as to development of this project and its ;i~ancing were based
or, Section 202 of tne :Jational Housing Act and administered by tne Department of Housing
and Urban Development; tnat their reouest to clarify tne iax question was governed 'oy laws of
the State of California for facili;ies suci~ as was being proposec; that the C;:urcnman's
Fou~oation was a ta:; exempt organizatio~ - however, ti~e 196o tax paymFnt urotest w~s now
in the State courts to determine whether this type of facility qualifieu for exemptio~;
that th~ facili:ies were to UQ :iEVElO(JE:1 for tne able persoa and ti~ose wno coulu not ~f;orci
hi~~:er-cust, lu;cury apartmer;ts, ~ut who have contributed to ti~e ~ity, sucn as ti;ose occup~•-
ing tne facilities in Sa:~ Diego; and ti~at ii ;~igher rents were imposed, togeti~er witi~ lesser
density, the project would not be successful. Furthermore, t'r.e ~i~urcnmh~'s Fou~idatio~ was
recognizeu in the County of ura-:ge througi, their o!filiatiun witii tiie Deciples of Cnrist and
il~e affiliation witi~ tite Ci:apman College in the City of Orange~ a~d Reverenu VJellington o:
the Ueciples of Ci~rist was present to speah for the ~hurchman's Foundation if ti~e ComTission
so desired.
;Jir. Cummings ^oted that ttle Jevelopment would operate within the strict criterio of tne
requirements for cor~struction for otiier national facilities; tnat the basic cost o; eacii
apartment for the proposeJ facility would be ~12,000, anti no more ti~an q1,00J coul~i be
invested in tf-~e cost of the land per unit; iiowever, because of tne high cost oi lanu in
California, it might be possible to up this figure per unit to ~14,000 maximum; and that
he would suggest that persons interesteJ in the proposed tievelopment visit eiti,er the San
Diego or Pasadena facility to note the quality of construction.
Commissioner Farano inouired of the agent wiiat was ti~e source for applications as indicated
for these projects?
h1r. Cummings replied that ti~e applications were from the community it was in and was not
lirnited to the Cnurci~mar.'s Foundation membership or the churci~ facility, nn~ that a limiteu
amount of press exposure i~ad stimulated many inyuiries in Anaheim.
MINUTES, CITY PLANNING COh~ISSION, March 27, 1967 3379
VARIANCE N0. 1861 - Commissioner Farano inquired whettier or not the proposed developed
(Continued) was advertised through regular advertising media, and whether or not
financing had been approved.
Mr. _ nings replied that no official advertising nad been submitted to the newspaoers,
and t:,at the Federal Government would not process any financing request until zoning nad
been approved for the development.
Commissioner Farano noted that on the basis of the figures and facts submitted by the
petitioner, development was based on supposition only, whereupon Mr. Cummings replied
, that all site inspection and approval on a preliminary basis had been made; however, no
~~,,~ iormal application had been made, and in the event financing was not approved, or tne
~'~ ~etitioners could not qualiiy, the land would immediately revert to the owners.
, ~
''~~ Commissioner Herbst inquired wnetner or not the applicants of the community would be given
~ first preference, even thougn there were 1,500 applications.
E~ :
~I Mr. Cummings replied tnat applications woulo be accepted on a first-come, first-serve
basis, not necessarily giving preference to tne community applic~tions.
;
~.~ ' Commission~~r Gauer inquired as to tne metnod by which tney r;~uld determine if an applicant
F~ met the rec,uirements, whereupon Mr. Cummings s~ated tnat e~_.. applicant was required to
;.I submit tnree letters: one irom the clergyman, one from the persoral physician, and o^e
~~ from a friend wno had known the applicant for ten or more years - however, tne financiol
;~ statement, even tnough submitted, would not oe investigated.
Mr. Cummings, ir. response to further Commission questioning, stated tnat membersnip would
not be limited to one denomi;~ation, since if federal financing was obtaine~, the develoo-
ment would be subject to federal laws,anci then ;rlr. ;,ummings reviewed the various church
affiliations of the membership of ~he San Diego facility.
Mr. Cummings continued that tney recognized, in good community planning, tne Commissio~
must take co9nizance that in years to come tnis development might be turned into some other
use; that in the event of conversion be~ause of a hardship which might be created, thev
would agree to enter into a recorded covenant with tiie City which would run with the use
of the land that 1 to 1 parking would be provided to safeguard the community and to provide
proper parking.
:he Commission furtkler inquired wnether subject property was considered more favorably
because of its proximity to the park on the west side of the street, whareupon Mr. Cummings
rPplied that the location provided for the necessities for a successiul :acility, and the
park had a great deal to do with the site selection, ard that the San Diego facility was
six blocks from a park and two blocks from the „ity Hall, five blocks from shopping :acili-
ties and behind the civic auditorium.
Fdr. Cumminqs, in respu~se to further Commission questio~ing, stated that many exhibits woul~
nave to be presented to the Eederal Gevernmant when a pe±itio^ was ;iled - whicn depicte~
the location of parks, snopping facilities, nospitals, churclles, etc.; Ll,at their experie~~ce
indicated that when a facility such as tnat proposed was gran~ed aod sarveo tiie coimwnity
to provide for, and take care of, tiie elderly, active persons so ti~at tney would 'oe ir. the
main stream of life, these elderly persons felt they were contriUuting to tile community
standing; and that !;e had served on some projects whicii t:ad trounles oue to tne fact tnat
their proximit~ was too far removed from the center city of activities,and people los~
interest where lhey were not near downtown ;acilities.
' ~~ir. C. R. Hoskins, 320 West Alberta, appeared 'oefore the Commission in opposition, stati~g
; that the proposed development might be acceptable to some - however, its effect on tne future
~ development of otner multiple-family properties, if the zoning restrictions were not adi:ered
~ to, would deteriorate; tnat nis property woulo suffer greatly since he was in close proximity
~ and had to develop in accordance witn Code, which made coyt of land more tiian subject property
~ sirce these properties wer= purchased with the sure knowledge tf~at all other developmert would
be required to meet Code requirements; that people lived where public facilities were readily
' available; that many people who had read the newspaper regarding the proposed development were
under the impression these would be garden-type apartments; and that the people with wnom he
had spoken all felt they had not had adequate time to investigate the proposed development in
order to present any opposition - however, a11 the adjoining property owners felt that ti~e
~ City should afford them some protection by requiring that the proposed developmenL complied
witn standards which had been established for the area. Furthermore, iie was not upposed to
` variances if they were minimal in nsture; iiowever, subject petition was reouesting too many
waivers from Cooe - whicn would be detrimental to the adjoining properties, and even ihouan I-;e
• was aware the i.ity needed more apartmen.ts, he was opposed to the prooosed ~level.ooment.

NINUTES, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, March 27, 1967 3380
VARIANCE N0. 1861 - Mr. Harry Horn, 720 North Helena Street, appeared before the Commission
(Continued) in opposition and stated he was speaking on behalf of the Urban Renewal
Development Committee and noted that although the City had not accepted
the Victor Gruen plan as yet, and had not spoken with the representatives
of the proposed development, the Victor Gruen plan designated the northeast quadrant for
garden-type and high-rise apartments with one-way traffic and a park area to serve this area,
said boundaries being extended from Sycamore southerly with Ulive Street as the westerly
boundary and the Santa Fe railroad tracks as the easterly boundary; that before the Commis-
sion gave any consideration to subject petition requesting the many variances, it was in the
interest of the City to delay this considerat?on until the Uictor Gruen report was acted
upon.
Mr. Joe Farber, 184 West Lincoln Avenue, appeared before the Commission and stated he was
one of the downtown merchants, noting that if subject petition were approved, this would
set a precedent for similar requests of the lots near the downtown area in obtaining waivers
of the Zoning Code; that in his opinion, approval also would be setting a precedf~t ior
allowing federal control of projects in tne City, whereas the City Council hao g~:,~a o:: record
as being opposed to '.hat type of financing; that tne approval would take more tax mo~.~.es from
the City; that if these waivers were granted, he would expect to be given the samF: p~ivilege
on any property ne wished to develop; and he suggested that the Commission conti~~ue subject
petition until all evidence and documents were clearly understood by the citizens of tne
City.
~J~r. Cummings, in reply to tne foregoing opposition, stated that the involvement of the
Department of Housing was as a mortgagor in the same manner as the F.H,A. handled lozns
for homes in the City; that the relationship between the Churchman's Foundation and the
Federal Government was only as mortgagor and mortgagee; and that the Churchman's Foundation
was responsible for the entire development~
hir. Cummings, in response to a number of Commission questio~s, stated t'~at the Churchman's
Foundation would make up any deficit; that a covenant was a part of the federal taw require-
ment; tha± if the Foundation did not meet this deficiency and payments were not submitt=d,
there were tnree possiole courses: 1) the Federal Government would come in and appoint a
manager to determine whether there was poor management or otherwise, and if the case was
poor management, theywould qrant a moratorium of one year on ihe loan and direct that a
change in management be made; 2) if there were social or economic problems within the
community, regardless of the rental rates and time and place, they ~vould declare a mor~torium
to attempt to resolve the problem; and 3) assume ownership in the name of the Secretary of
Housing and direct another organization to go i~ and ourchase the pioperty ur.der contract
with the government to operate this. -
Commissioner Farano then noted that regardless of the aforementioned steps, in one degree or
another the development would be under the jurisdiction and discretion of the Federal Goverr,-
ment.
Mr. Cummir.qs noted this was like any federal oank or savings and loan operatio~.
Commissioner hlu~gall noted tnat anyone having an i~come of $4,000 a year woula want better
facilities.
.i~
Mr. Cummings replied that ma~y of tne prese~t renters in the San Uiego iacility lived on
tneir retirement ir,come, not large investments; that many were living on $is5 oer month
income; and that in the main, tnis development would be taking c-r= of people who have been
living in poor environments ~nto better housing witn more money to spend in tne community.
Commissioner Farano inquired wnat role wos tne church and the Foundation playing i;•, an
endeavor to obtain tax relief, whereupon t~1r. Cummings replied that he had no knowledge,
but that tne mortgage corporation had engaged an attorney to represent them.
Commissioner Farano then commented that one way or the other this would be onotner nttempt
to take property off the tax rolls by requesting relief from taxes.
Mr. Nozvel. Ulvestad, 815 West Broadway, appeared before the Commission and stated i~e was
9reatly concerned about the proposed development; that he did not doubt the sincerity of
the people asking to provide benefits to the people they were supporting, but he felt support
should be more directly to the community; that consideration should be given to the comments
made by ~dr. Harry Horn since a number of persons present in ti~e Council Chamber had sat for
the past year with i•eoresentatives of the Victor Gruen Associates and the Plannino Staff and

PERMIT N0. 928 this did not provide adequate circulation for the commercial use of
(Continued) subject property.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petitions.
THE i-~ARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairman Camp returned to the Council Cnamber at 3:35 P.h1.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson noted that since suoject property could not be cieveloped
under the plans submitted for the conditional use permit because they were wi~hdrawn, the
pri~ne cuestion before the Commission was whether or not access to and from the property,
together with C-1 site signing of the property,should be considered justified without any
additio~al plans since subject property would be difficult to develop and yet maintain the
residential integrity of tne homes to tne east, reducing tne commercial traffic flow using
Underhill Avenue anci coping with the problems of lighting, signs, noise, dust, etc., which
the residential properties to the east would have to cope wit~, under the original plans of
development and should be kept in mind in the event future plans were submitted, nowever,
the plans could not be so developed since they represented a develooment which would not
take place.
Considerable discussion was held by the Commission, Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts,
the Staff, and the representative of the oetitioners regarding the method of exercising
the conditional use permit in the event the reouest for amendment to conditio~s of approval
of the reclassifications was recommended to tne City Council, and after no decision was
reached, the agent requested a iew moments with his client before the Commission made any
decision.
Commissioner Rowland was of the opinion that subject property could not support development
under the C-1 Site Development Standards, whereupon Mr. Thompson stated that any problems
which subject property would encounter were discussed witn tne restaurant developer regard-
ing access, lights, noise, dus~, hours of operation, together witi~. the approp:iateness of
land use, and at the City Council neeting of February 28, 1907, the Staff, including tne
cngineering Uepartment, had recommended tnat access to Underhill hvenue be permitted :or
the easterly 40 feet of the second lot, ond that approval of any development under the
conditional use permit could be controlled through this vehicle.
iJ~r. Gehran then advised the Commission that after discussior. with his client it w;s reouested
that the ;ommission consider approval of the conditio 31 use permit although development
could not be made in accordance witn the plans sub:nitted; however, the escrow was not car~celed
and it was hoped circulation and access oroblems, together with signs, would be cleared up
ii the conditional use permit were exercised.
Cnairman pro tem Herbst advised the petitionersthat there were more problems facing any
de~elopment of subject property to warrant continuance u~~til such time as firmly committed
oevelopment plans coulu oe suumitte~ for ine Commission's consideration, and tne ~ommission
was desirous of giving ti:e petitionen every possible chance of developing tneir property wit~:•-
out jeopardizing tiie esthetics of the neignborhood, and that G 1 uses :or tne property were
or.1y permitted if the existing residences were remo•~ed.

400 feet on Lincoln Avenue and approximately 255 feet on Crescent Way, and further described
as 1813 West Lincoln F,venue. Property presently classified C-1, GENERAL CG~WuIERCIAL, ZO;JE.
Associate Planner Jack Christofferson reviewed the proposed request for on-saie liquor and
waiver of the off-street parking, noting that the property was already developed with a
commercial structure; however, some of the vacant shops were to be converted into a restaurant
with on-sale ]iquor in the easterly portion, and with the increase in use of the commercial
structure, an additional 20 parking spaces would be needed.
No one appeared to represent the petitioner.
;Jo one appeared in opposition to subject petition.
THE HEARING WAS CLOScD.
the rommission reviewed the proposed request, noting a deficiency of parking, and approv~l
of subject petition should be made with o stipulation that parking be provided in accordance
with the precise p1a;; of development.
"Loning Supervisor Ronald Ihompson advised the Commission, upon being questiuned, that the
building was in existence, and the conditional use permit wos to permit on-sale liquor;
however, the entire parcel was under consideration since other types of uses could be
proposed for the portion of the structure under consideration for the restaurant with on-
sale liquor, and it was necessary that adequate parking be provided regardless of the use.
Furthermore, the age.^.t for tne petitioner had submitted a letter noting that the requested
waiver was justified by the fact ti:at calw lations were based on ~~arying uses rather ihan
the actual C-1 zoning applied for; namely, assuming 4 per thousand for general offices,
5 per thousand for retail uses,l per thousand for warehouse use, 8 per thousanJ for the pro-
posed restaurant, and 5 per thousand for the vacant s_ore, making the requireo parkiny in
conformance with what was available.
The Commission tnen reviewed tne request of the agent for the petitioner to consider the
distinctions of types of uses within a structure, and it was determined that if the City
began such a program, it would be necessary to have a computer system to resolve the
requirements for parking purposes, and ti~at warehousirg within any type of commercial
facility was figured in as part of storaqe of necessary supplies: therefore, the suggestio~;
made by the aqent had no validity.
Commissioner Gauer offered a motion to cortinue Petition for Conditional Use Permit :Jo.

- requesting WAIVERS OF (1) MAXIMUM NUtdBER OF FREE-STANDING SIGNS,
~ (2) MAXIMUM SIGi4 HEIGHT, (3) MAXIMUM SIGN AREA, ~ND (4) F~Ec-STANDING SIGN LOCATION on
, property described as: An irregularly shaped parcel of land located at the northeast
corner of Ball Road and Harbor Boulevard and having frontages of approximately 150 feet
~n Ball Road and approximately 130 feet on Harbor IIoulevard, and further described as
519 West Ball Road. Property presently classified C-2, GENERAL CAMMERCIAL, ZONE.
Associate Plan~er Jack Christoiferson reviewed the location of subject property, the pro-
posed development of an 80-foot high modular sign, in additio~ to another sign on subject
_ property. Tne definition of a free-standing sign was also reviewed, noting that if subject
petition were aporoved, consideration should be given to the relocation of tne sign wnich
would be in tite ultimate future rignt-~~f-way of Ba11 Road and Harbor Boulevard at the expense
of the petitioner.
i:r. William Winterbero, agent for tne petitioner, appeared before the Commission and noted
that the height of the sign was in accordance with the Collier-Seaburg lasw on signs along
federal highways sucn as the Santa Ana Freeway Federal Highway ;~o. 3 and extends from the
free•Nay to 600 feet on either side of the freeway; that all signs relating to motorist
trafiic should be adequately displayed and fully visible - not to constitute a traffic
hazard; that the City of Anaheim's limitation of 70 feet would place the pr~~posed sig;~
behind trees and could cause a distraction to the motorist; that although the Report to
the Commission indicat=d an 80-foot hign sign, this was not the case - it was proposed to
have an SO-foot sign above grade or a tocal of 89.7 feet, and this height was needed in
order to be able to read the sign from the ireeway; that the wmmission was familiar with
the law as he just quoted which affected the Santa Ana Freeway.
The Commission was of the opinion tnat waivers uf the sign heigiit were coming to the point
where new projections would be up to 100 feet in height; that a11 signs should be no more
than 25 feet in heigtit; that N~hen the ~ign Ordinance was written, the oil companies nad
been contacted, and at public hearings they had stated they could live with the ordir:ance -
however, the oil companies had been the major violators in breaking the Sign ~Jrdinance.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the agent for the peiitioner that the Sheli Oil
sign was granted through variance by the City Council, and tnat the Ameriran Gil sign had
been constructed prior to the establisnment of the Sign Ordinance.
Discussion was held by the Commission relative to the construction o! siyns nigher an~
nigher as eac11 service station was requesting waivei•, ano that the start of tne greater
height of service station signs began with tne Viobile sign on East Street.
Mr. Winterberg stated that tne sign on ~nst Street was adjacent to residential uses -
therefore considerable opposition was expressed, and tne sign on Harbor Boulevard war, not
near a~y nomes.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition.

MINUTES, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, March 27, 1967 3387
VARIANCE N0. 1863 - PUBLIC HEARING. AARON WARKENTINE, 3234 West Stonybrook Drive,
Anaheim, ~.alifornia, Owner; requesting WkIVER OF MINIMUM REQUIR[D
REAR YARD BUILDING SETBACK on prope~ty described as: A rectangularly
shaped parcel of land locatea at the northwest corner of Courson Drive and Stonybrook Drive
and having frontages of approximately 100 feet on Courson Drive and approximately 77 feet
on Stonybrook Drive, and further described as 3234 West Stonybrook Drive. Property presently
classified R-1, ONE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ZUNE.
Associate Planner Jack Christofferson reviewed the proposed request, noting that although
the petitioner was requesting waiver of the Building Code.in addition to their rear yard
waiver, this was r.ot within the jurisdiction of the Commissiono
~ Mrs. Esther Warkentine appeared before the Commission to represent her husband, notiny that
~ the petition should have been a two part one - for the rear yard setback and for the other
she had been trying to resolve between the Building and Planninq Divisions and the City
Attorney regarding waiver of the Building Code since it was their desire to retain the
structure as i~ was built; that the addition to the home was completed about three years
ago, usin9 their own funds and building it themselves; that they had attempted to build
in accordance with the Uniform Building Code given them by friends; that in her opinion
there was an insignificant difference in the fire hazard to require removal of the over-
-~ hang and replace with parapet walls since this would destroy the esthetics of the home;
and that other cities are now permitting a 5-foot setback of the new homes being constructed.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the Commission that the only consideration they
could give the p=titioner was the waiver of the setback area,and waiver of the Building
Code would have to be by separate request to the City Council.
Mrso Warkentine, in response to Commission questioning, stated that in addition to constru~t-
ing the addition themselves, tnis was done without knowledye tnat a building perr.it was
necessary~
The Commission advised Mrs~ Warkentine this was one of the reasons for requiring a building
permit - in order that not only the property owner, but adjoir.ing property owners could be
protected by requirements of the Building Code.
The Commission also advised the petitioner that they could act only on the waiver of Title
18, and that the Building Department must iiave advised her of other courses of action.
' Mrs. WarkPntine stated the City Attorney advised her to request waiver of the Building Code
by letter; however, she had addressed this to the Commission on the assumption this 3ody
could act on her request.
Idr. Roberts advised the Commission that pernaps he had erroneously advised Mrs. Warkentine
to whom she shoulu' ~Jdress the letter; however, Mrs. Warkentine could address a similar
letter to tne City Council, submitting it to the City Clerk who would advise her when this
item would be placed on tne City Council agenda, and then Mr. Roberts read sections of tne
building Code which would have to be waived by the City Council.
Mrs. Warkentine stated that the requirement of parapet walls was somewhat unreasonable
since it would destroy the appearance of the structure, whereas t;leir addition was in
harmony with the existing architecture.

~
No one appeared in opposition Lo subject petition.
TI-~ HEARING WAS CLUSEU.
Mr. Vic Newton of the Building llivision advised the ~ommission he was opposed to any waiver
of the Building Code because it represented a fire hazard since the distance was too sma11
to prevent the spreading of a fire; that tne reason for recommendi~g parapet wa ll s between
the buildings was to act as a ~ire deterrent since this would have a one-hour fire wall -
however, he did not know what legal proolems would be involved to an7 new property owner
or future occupant of the home, thus the reason fur his opposing waiver of the ~uildi;ig
Code,so that the City would not be in a position to be sued.
Commissioner Rowland inquired of Mr. Newton whether or not there was some underlyiny material
which could be added to qualify for the one-hour fire protection.
Mr. Newton replied that 5/8-inch drywall could be used; however, this would not he i~elpiul
in the roof structure of the existing addition.

VARIANCE IvO. 1865 - PUBLIG i-~ARING. SAMUEL MAGID, 636 Ultimo Avenue, Long Beach, California,
Owner; i-fr.ATH S COMPAN", 3225 Lacy Street, ' Angeles, California, Agent;
requesting WAIVERS OF (1) MAXIMUM NUMBER UF :.u._•STANDINv SIGNS AND (2)
MINIMUM DISTANCE BENJEEN FREE-STANDING SIGNS on property descrioed as: H rtctangularl~ shapeo
parcel of land located at the northwest corner of Ball Road and Euclid Street and having
frontages of approximately 440 feet on Ball Road and approximately 740 feet on Euclid Street.
Property presently classified C-1, GENERAL ~ONiM~RCiAL, ZONE.
Associate Planner Jack Christofferson reviewed the proposed request, noting the location of
subject property, the number of free-standing signs presently located on subject property,
and the fact that the ~ity Council had denied a request to erect the signs perding action
on the variance.
A representative of the Heath ;;ompany, the agent, appeareo before the Commission and noted
that the petitioner-owner and the other interested persons were present to give evidence
if the Commission required it; that it was their feeling there were ext~aordinary circum-
stances warranting granting subject petitio~i; namely, 1) proximity to a local street to
the north in the event a wall sign as proposed by the Staff was cor,stru:.ted; 2) proposed
sign would not lend itself to a wall sign since the building was not designed for it, such
as the Family Tree Restaurant because it would be constructed with glass windowed wa11s;
and 3? that there were numerous similar signs in close proximity; furthermore, the proposed
restaurant represented an investment of $250,000 after having removed the original restau-
rant and non-conforming sign, which should warrant having proper identification, and that
approval of the proposed sign would not be detrimental to the adjoining properties.
Pdr, Samuel Magid, the petitioner, appeared before the Commission, noting that he had been
a long-time owner of subject property and could well remember what subject looked like prior
to its bein9 developed; that the Development Service: Department plan checker had spent
considerable time with the plans for the restaurant ana had been quite helpiul in resolving
many of their problems; that the plans had been in the Building Departmen~ for two months
before all requireme~ts of the 9uilding and Zoning Codes were complied with - however, they
were not aware the sign would be in violation of the ordinance, but wnat was proposed was
an improveme~t of an old, substandard restaurant and sign erected at the sidewalk witn an
attractive restaurar,t which would compliment the area; and that tl~e Wooden Shoe Restaurant
had a 20-year lease with an option to lease an additional i0 years - therefore, this could
be consi~iered a rather permanent development.
,lo one appeared in opposition to subject petitiono
T!-IE i-~ARI;~ WAS CLOSED.
Uiscussion was held by the Commission and ileputy City Attorney Furman Roberts as to the
interpretation of the leasehold on property in order that they might be consid~red as
separate property when applied to the Sign Ordinance, and at its cu~clusion it was deter-
mined that a 25-year lease was necessary binding on the land as well as the building, even
though common access and parking were on integral part of the shopping center.
Mr. Christofferson advised the Commission that the petitioner was proposing free-standing
signs, ano the intent of the ordinance was to phase out non-conforming siyns such as that
existing, and the thought of the Staff was to require an integrated sign to take care of
the myriad of signs in a shopping center.
, Mr. Roberts, in response to Commission questioning, stated t}~ere was no amortization date
for siyns only - only on billboards or where there were major structurai changes. Further-
more, a parcelmap for the portion of the ground on which ttie building was erected woul~i be
- necessary so that this would become a separate piece of land use, and tiiat subject property
~ could not qualify because of the cominon ingress and egress, together with common parking.

VARIANCE N0. 1865 - Tne Commission felt that the proposed structure would be an asset to
(Continued) the area; liowever, it would be penalized if not given adequate identi-
fication - therefore, this might qualify under a variance request.

made an attempt to develop the signs, including the one for the Wooden Shoe Restaurant, as
an integrated sign for the entire parcel; furthermore, the underlying owner had rot evidenced
any desire to modify an ~ndesirable situation regarding signs as existed presently.

proposed addition, and althou9h an encroachment of 7:eet, 2 inches into the reyuired 25-foot

RECOIv1MENDATIONS ORANGE COUNTY USE VARIANCE N0. 5869 - Establish a wig sales
(Continued) and styling business in the R-P, Residential-Professional
District at 8831 North Brookhurst Street~
Associate Planner Jack Cnristofferson presented Orange County Use Variance Noo 5869 to the
Planning Comm~ssion and noted the requested use was for the establishment of a ivig sales
and styling business in conjunction with the residential use of the property which was
located on the west side of Brookhurst Street, approximately 770 feet north of Lincoln
Avenue; that the property was zoned R-P, Residential-Professional District in the County;
that seven parking spaces were being provided to the rear of the property; that access to
the rear parking was being provided by a common easement along the south side of the property;
and that three parking spaces proposed for the front of the structure would be eliminated when
Brookhurst Street is widened to its ultimate width.
Office cngineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that the Interdepartmental Committee
recommended that if subject petition was approved by the Orange County Planning Commission,
dedication be required for Brookhurst Street to its ultimate width of 60-foot half-width.
Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to recommerd to the City Council that the Orange County
Planning Commission be urged to require dedication for street widening purposes of Brookhurst
Street to its ultimate width of o0 feet, if Orange County Use Uariance fJo. 5869 is approved.
Commissioner Gauer seconded the motion. MOTICN CARRIED.
ITEM N0. 3
CONDITIGNAL USE PERMIT N0~ 925 - Consideration of revised
plans - 2 R-1 lots at the southeast corner of Harbor
Boulevard and Hampshire Street - C-0 pending.
Associate Planner Jack Cnristofferson presented revised plans ;or Conditional Use Permit
No. 925, which are to be considered at public hearing by tne .;ity Council April 4, 1907,
to the Commission, noting that the Commission had denied the petition on February 27,
1907 on the basis that the plans presented would establish an undesirable precedent by
permitting parking in the front area, removal of all landscaping, provision of less than
half of the required parking, and utilization of the two lots which were too small for
the conversion to commercial office uses.
Mr. Christofferson noted that the revised plans indicated that parking was being provioed
to the rear of the structures, since t'r,e peiitioner proposed to remove one of the garages;
that the reauired 6-foot rt:asonry walls adjacent to residential zones would also be provided
if so requir=d by the City Council; and that the front landscaping and residential appear-
ance of the structure would remain.
Upon completion of discussion held by the Commission, it was determined that the Commission's
previous action was based on the fact that the two lots were too small :or proper conversion
to commercial office use, as well as not providing adeauate parking; that the revised plans
still indicate a shortage of the required parking; and that any reuse of the property should
be accomplished by the removal oi the existing structures and replacement with a regular
commercial developme~t, since the square footage would still be less than the required
20,000 square feet, and the GU Zone requires the removal of tne existing residential struc-
tures if development occurred with that zone by 1969.
Commissioner Herbst o:fered a motion to sdvise the City ;:ouncil that revised plans for
Conditional Use Permit tdo. 925 still d~ not provide for adequate parking, that the CommissiDn's
action in denial was also based on the f:;ct that the existing structures should be removed,
since the C-0 Zone requires a 20,000-square foot area, or a conditional use permit,and would
require removal of the existing structures by 1969. Commissioner Farar.o seconded the motion.
