it was the Interdepartmental Committee and Development Services Department's opinion that the `

MINUI'ES, CIIY PLANNING COMMISSION, July 6~ 1967 3503
CONDITIONAL USE - proposed use must be a totally independent facility, self-contained,
PERMIT N0: 949 and in no way dependent upon continuing access easements across the
(Continued) Convention Center property.
Mr. William Biel, 401 West Eighth Street, Santa Ana, attorney represent-
ing the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and noted that subject property was being
leased from the City of Anaheim; that his client held options to lease from the City for the
proposed development; and that the architect would explain the technical changes of the
developmento
Mr. Don Ramberg, 2127 North Main Street, Santa Ana, architect for the proposed transporta-
tion center, appeared before the Commission and reviewed the concept of the project and
presented colored front elevations, noting this would be an airline transportation sales
office and service location for airlines and eirport coach services to'pick up and discharge
passengers to and from Los Angeles International Airport and the Orange County Airport; that
a restaurant and cocktail lounge were also being provided, and that they were completely in
agreement with the Report to the Commission in that the facility was designed to function
within the boundaries of the proper'cy'; that all the difficulties originally presented by
the Staff had been resolved; that tfie frcant portion of the property provided short-time
parking for discharge and pick-up of passengers, and adequate rear parking and circulation
were provided for buses. Furthermor~~ i:hey were providing for two controlled entrances to
the Convention Center, subject to negotiation with the City Council; said entrances would
be controlled by the City and would serve as an important element in the circulation and•.
operation of the Convention Center.
Mr. Ramberg, in response to Commissior. .~~cionirn;., stated that it was felt patrons and
clients would not come to the facility . park their cars for a two to three-day span
because it was the desire of many of the j..-,ople to use the bus, thereby eliminating use
of their private automobiles, and that one of the principal uses would be from the conven-
tion trade who would be coming in b,y plane and would have no local transportationo
Mr. Ramberg also noted ti:at it was hoped eventually that the proposed facility would eliminate
the Disneyland Hotel transportation center; however, if the public demanded this facility be
retained, it would be a supplemental facility to that being proposed.
The Commission inquired as to the route buses would take upon leaving the transportation
center, whereupon Mr. Ramberg stated that buses could make only ri9ht-hand turns 9oing to
Harbor Boulevard and then to the freeway, or turning right at Harbor to Convention Way~ on-
to West Street, and then at the intersection of West Street and Katella Avenue, make a left-
hand turn, traveling west to the Los Angeles International Airport.

No one appeared in opposition to sub5ect petition.
TF~ HEARING WAS CIASED.
Commissioner Rowland offered Resolution No. PC67-143~and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Mungall, to grant Petition for Conditional Use Permit Noo 949, '
subject to conditions and the finding that approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 949 did
not in any way commit the City to provide access to other areas, and that the proposed
transportation centsr should be a totally independent facility, self-contained, and in no
way dependen~ upon continuing access easements across the Convention Center property.

RECLASSIFICATION• - REQUESTED VARIANCE: PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MEDICAL OFFIC~
N0. 66-67-75'. ' ' FACILITY, WITH WAIVERS OF (1) OFF-STREEI' PAR~CING
REQUIREIV~NTS, (2) BUILDING HEIGHT AND SETBACK,
VARIANCE NOo.1890 AND (3) REQUIRED NUMBER OF REFUSE STORAGE AREAS.
' (Continued).
Sab3ect petitions were continued from the meeting of June 19, 1967,
to allow time for the petitioner to review the parking study with the
single-family property ownera in opposition, and for the Staff to study the multi-story
perking requirements as they pertained to other cities having similar types of buildings.
Zoning-.Supervisor Ronald Thompson reviewed sub~ect petitions, the location of subject
property and the uses established in close proximity, and then reviewed the Comparative
Parking Standards Chart that compared subject petitions' parking proposal with that of•
the Cities.of Alhambra, Buena Park, Covina, Fullerton, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside,
San Jose, Santa Ana, and the Urban Land Institute, and then noted that the Staff had con- ~
tacted a number of physicians at the medical center on La Veta in the City of Orange who
had indicated there was no parking problem at ~his time as far as that medical facility
was concerned.
Dr. G. Barton Heuler, 221 West Cypress, the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and
noted that the Staff had made a number of comparisons in the Parking Standards Study; how-
ever the parking requirements were all unique in their own facilities because of the types
of inedical and auxiliary uses each building would have. Furthermore, the parking study made
on the La Veta medical facility in the City of Orange would be comparable to that being
proposed under subject petitions, and it was noted that at no time did that facility approach
full capacity.of the parking facilities.
The Commission inquired whether or not the petitioner had visited the Santa Ana faciiity,
whereupon Dr. Heuler replied he had not consir~ered this fac3lity since the proposed develop-
ment would be similar to that of the La Veta medical center - as a matter of fact, almost
an exact duplication.
Commissioner Farano ques+.ioned at length the petitioner regarding various studies made on
parking requirements and facilities in other cities in order to ascertain whether or not
the proposed medical office facility should qualify for the weivers rvquested.
The petit'roner further stated that many of the ph.ysicians did not work a full six-day week;
therefore, their patients would not be visiting the facility, and cited, for example, his
brother who worked only three days a week.
Mrs. Barbara F3urot, 1137 North Crown Street, appeared in opposition and noted that most
profeseional people practiced more than three days a week, and she was opposed to waiver
of the,parking requirements since the residents adjacent to subject pro~erty already had
parking problems with the Assistance League and the mortuary, and to permit waiver of park-
ing for. a third use would compound an already untenable situation and su9gested that more
parking be required, rather than less parking, and her investigation of the La Veta medical
center indicated there were more than one patient at a time - as a matter of fact, there "
would be a number of patients, depending upon whether or not the physicians were seeing
their patients at the times scheduled; that it was an exception rather than the rule that
physicians would take Sunday and Wednesday off - it seemed more likely they would take a
two-day weekend; and that parking should be provided for the possible maximum load of
patients.
'Ihe petitioner, in rebuttal, noted that the majority of golfers'on Wednesday were dentists
and physicians, and this break in the middle of the week was necessary because of their
heavy days of seeing patients, and that the in-depth study made on the La Veta medical
facility'indicated Monday and Friday were the heaviest days.
Considerable discussion was then held by the Commission relative to.the various types of
professional facilities which might need more parking facilities than was proposed, and the
comparison made with the La Veta medical center, whereupon the petitioner noted the proposed
facility would be owned and operated by the physicians and dentists who would be'using the
facility. _
Mr. Thompson nated for the Commission that the Staff had on two separate occasions made
a>survey of the La Veta medical center to note to what extent the parking facilities were
being utilized, and it was noted on one occasion that it was only one-half full, and on
another•occesion only two-thirds full; furthermore, upon contacting several members of
the,facility, they had indicated the parking lot was never full to capacity - however, the
staff of the La.Veta center was more concerned with ingress and egress since this was a
long, narrow parcel and parking was some distance from the building. However, this would
not be the case as far as subject petitions was concerned since the parking was much better
related to the building and ingress and egress would be much less a problem.

MINUTES,.CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, July 6; 1967 " 3505
RECLASSIFICATION - Chairman Camp'noted that the request for variances was based on the
,NO: 66-67-75 . fact that the City of Anaheim did not have code requirements for the
` proposed type of facility; consequently, the waivers seemed to be
'VARIANCE N0. 1890 much more pronounced tha~'if actual parking requirements for.this
(Continued) type of fecility were in the zoning code.
~ Commissioner Farano expressed grave concesn that parking would not be provided adequately
to:serve all the needs, even thuugh paiking'"studies had been'presented indicating that a
similar type of'facility,.which was,27%;belo.w the requirement of the Anaheim Municipal Code;
had more than adequate parking. .
THE HEARING WAS CIASED.
Commi.ssioner Allred offered Resolution Noe PC67-144 and moved for its passage and adopt3on,
seconded by Commissioner Mungall, to recommend to.the City Council that Petition for
Reclassification No. 66-67-75 be approved, subject to conditions and the finding that if
in the~future the proposed medical facility reverted to another use, that the parking
requirements should be subject to the Anaheim Municipal Code at that time for any re-use.
(See Resolution Book)
On roll call the foregoing resolution was passed by the following vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Allred, Farano, Gauer, Mungall, Camp.
NOES: ODMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Herbst, Rowland.
Commissioner Allred offered Resolution No. PC67-145 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Mungall, to grant Petition for Variance No. 1890, subject to
conditions and the finding that in the event the future use of this building reverts to
another type of use, the parking requirements should be subject to the Anaheim Municipal
Code at that time,for any re-use. (See Resolution Book)

SUNDAY SCI~OL AND PERMIT THE USE OF AN EXISTING RESIDENCE AS A PARSONAGE
on property described as: An irregularly shaped parcel of land having a frontage of approxi- '
mately 115 feet on the south side of Wagner Avenue and having a maximum depth of approximately
690 feet, the westerly boundary of subject property being approximately 140 feet west of the I
centerline of Marjan Street, and further described as 2781 East Wagner Avenue. Property

Commissioner Rowland returned to the Council Chamber at 3:14 P.M.

:-a
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson reviewed subject petition, the location of subject property
'and the uses established in close proximity.
Mrs. Ann Madison, agent for the petitioner,,appeared before the Commission and noted that
the proposed development of subject property would generate less noise and traffic than
eny bther use which might be conaidered; that the traffic flow would not go through the
surrounding residential streets since Rio Vista Street abutted subject property; that Finding :
No. 7 of the Report to the Commission indicated the alignment of Rio Vista Street had not
been determined, and in the event Rio Vista Street was not abandoned and the street was
widened and'improved, the petitioner requested use of this area for parking until thei.mprove-
ment and extension took place; and, further, inquired whether or not Condition No. 9 could
be made "subject to final building inspection" so that the reading of the resolution or
ordinance would not be held up until such time as the bonds were submitted to guarantee
these improvementso
Mr. Thompson noted that no ordinance would be read on subject property because a conditional '
use only was requested, and the only thing that might be held.up would be the building
permit;•however, it was his understanding that the Right-of-Way Division of the Engineering
Department would have these forms to the petitioner shortly after the Commission's considera-
tion of this pet:tion, if approved.

CONDITIONAL USE r Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that if Chz Commission
PERMIT N0. 952 ~ favorably considered subject petition, it would not become effective
(Continued) within 20 days, and within two weeks of that date the Right-of-Way
Division would have the.easement deeds and bond forms filled out and
sent to the property owner, and it was his assumption it was hardly
likely the building permit would be issued prior to that time.
Mro Thomp•son also nated that subject petition was different than a reclassification, and
it would`depend upon how fast the petitioner moved to meet the canditions; however, when
an ordinance was read, there was a 30-day referendum period to which the agent for the
petitioner must have been referring.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition. .
T!-lE HEARING WAS CIASED.
Commissioner Farano offered Resolution No. PC67-146 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Gauer, to grant Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 952, subject
to conditions. (See Resolution Book)

VARIANCE N0. 1891 -?UBLIC I-~ARIiyG. BALL-LOARA, INCORPORATED, 606 South Euclid Street,
• Anaheim, California, Owner; ALBERT FIEDLER, 606 South Euclid Street,
Anaheim, California, Agent; requesting permission to EXPAND AN EXISTING
SIGN, WITH WAIVERS OF (1) PERMITTED SIGN LOCATION AND (2) MINIMUM SIGN ELEVATZON on property
described as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land having a frontage of approximately 70
feet on the east side of Euclid Street and having a maximum depth of approximately 117 feet,
the southerly property line of subject prope•r':y being approximately 345 feet nozth of the
centerline of Alomar Avenue, and further•described as 606 South Euc13d Street. Property
presently'claseified C-1, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, ZONE.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson reviewed subject petition, the location of subject.property,
and the Report to the Commission, noting that the existing sign was non-conforming, and it
would be up to the Commission to determine whether or not the non-conforming use should be
extended. ,
Mra Albert Fiedler, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and noted that
the existing sign was too small to accommodate the number of lessees of the building; that
it was necessary to have additional signing because of the competition to the north and
south; that the building was too close to the street and the lessees were denied~adequate
advertising except for one large, one-face sign, and they were proposing a two-face sign
which would be non-rotating, and no flashing lights or arrows, black and white in color and
which would be lit from dusk iantil 11:00 P.Ma; that the existing sign was three years old;
and furthermore, in response to Commission questioning, noted that the existing sign was
inadequate to properly identify the existing lessees.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition.
THE E~ARING WAS CIASED.
Mr. Thomgson noted the existing sign was 33 square feet and the overall height was 20 feet;
that the proposal was to more than triple the existing sign area for the purpose of identi-
fying two additional tenants, and that there were several ways to adequately sign the property
and still remain within the Sign Ordinance requirements.
Considerable discussion then was held by the Commission relative to the possibility of
requiring revised plans which would be more in con£prmance with the Sign Ordinance, or
whether or not the petitioner should be required to comply with all requirements of the
Sign Ordinance in signing subject property.
Mr. Thompson, in response to Commission questioning, noted that although the square footage
could be increased to 140 square feet of sign area, there was sumewhat of a problem regard-
ing the height since the Code limited the height to 25 feet within 300 feet of the R-1 2one,
and there was R-1 development adjoining subject property.

;~
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson reviewed subject petition, the location of subject property ;
and uses established in close proximity, noting that the p.roposed use was not a permitted use _.~
in the C-1 Zone, but was permitted by right in tne M-1 Zone, and that if outdoor storage was '?,~
approved,. construction of a 6-foot masonry wall enclosing the storage should be required. '~

a
Mr. Max Provisor, the petitioner, appeared before the Commission,noting that his original
plans had indicated enclosure for the trailer and there would be a small storage area behind ;.~~
this area;.however, the trucks would be stored in the open; that these trucks:were U-haul' :
'
?~
trailers and trucks and no semi-trailer trucks would be stored on this pxoperty; that he .
~~
had develo ed the sho in center three
P PA 9 years ago, and during this time it.had never been "''
;:~~
completely filled; that he had lost a considerable amount of money due to the fact that`
this sfte was a less desirable commercial site, even though he had developed this for ret~il ~~
stores; that it was difficult to obtain tenants for the'property and developed aubject
s,
property due to the fact it was in close proximity to a railroa,d; and~•thet if sub~ect peti
tion were approved, this would'assist'the service station:lessee adjacent,to 'ubject'~property
° ?~~•
since
he was having difficulty in maintaining this,station: Furthermore, in response to' ',~~.'
Commissiorr questioning, Mr; Provisor noted that although future buildings were
indicated <?k,

on the plot plan, due to the fect that he was unable to fully lease the existing'building, ~~
no plans were anticipated for future expanaion. G~

Commissioner Rowland 1'eft the Council Chamber at 3:40 P.M.
~~.~
Mr. Provisor, in response to Commission questioning, noting that if a fence was put along ~~
the Ball Road frontage, the prospective renters of the U-haul trucks and trailers would'not
krow where they were located, and that he would not rent space for travel trailers - just
the concession for the U-haul trailers and trucks.
The Commission further inquired as to the number of cars that would 5e stored, waiting for
service at the brake shop, to which Mr. Provisor stated that only four cars would be stored
inside the building, and that there were more than enough old cars around the service station,;
and he was not desirous of having any old cars around his new shopping facility; that
the
.
existing restaurant was in operation - however the pizza parlor had ceased to operate be- -
case they were bankrupt; and thet of the 23 stores available for leasing, only 4 were operat-i
ing presently.
Commissioner Rowland returned to the Council C'hamber at 3:45 P.M.
Mr. D. W. Roper, 716 South Kenmore Street, appeared in opposition, noting that he was the
owner of the service stetion property; that he had sold subject property to the petitioner;
that he was of the opinion the proposed use would be detrimentaL to the s~oppi;ng-center;
that the petitioner occupied five of the stores he indicated were vacant; tha; he was opposed '
to rezoning subject property to M-1; and that he was also opposed to the storage and sales ~
of trailers adjacent to a shopping center since he was of the opinion a use much more com-
patible with the existing uses in the area would be less detrimental and would be more help- , '
ful to the surrounding area. Furthermore, the operation of the service station, in.his
opinion, was successful since the operator was pumping approximately,25,000,gallons of
gasoline per week there.
Mr. Roper, in response to Commission questionin9, stated that if the use were appxoved,
outdoor storage could be for anything the petitioner desired - other than just the trailers
that were presently being proposed; furthermore, the number of Lrains along the railroad
right-of-way was only two, and years ago when this was the Pacific Electric, many trains ~
passed by the area during the day, and there was only a single track - therefore no damage 1'
could be claimed from train traffic. ~`

VARIANCE N0. lt3 ~- In rebuttal, Mr. Provisor noted that they were proposing only a maximum ~ ~~
of 16-foot long trailers and trucks and a maximum of 1~ tons; that the ~ ?~
storage of trailers on service station sites was limited to ten; and ~
they had been op'erating under a similar franchise with the Richfield service station on the `<~
south side of the street; furthermore, subject property had been vacant for four years, and ;;~
it was his feeling that the proposed use of the property would not be competitive with the ~
service station but would be helpful. Mr. Provisor also noted that Mr. Roper had attempted ~ ;~
to obtain the U-haul trailer lease; however, the lessee of his service station did not y
qualify - therefo're, it was his opinion he was now opposing subject petition because of this. ''~
Mr. Roper stated he was not aware the operator had not qualified for the U-haul•franchise.
THE HEARING WAS CIASED. ,.
Discussion was he]d by the Commission relative to whether or not the brake shop snd storage
of trailers and trucks would be helpful or detrimental to the area since some of the uses
were in the industrial use characteristics; that if subject petition were approved, screen-
ing, such.as fencing similar to that along the freeway, should be required of the storage
space abutting the commercial facility to the north; and that the'uses of subj=ct property
should be oriented to Ball Road rather than Knott Aver.ue since all the commercial uses were
oriented to Knott Avenue and no ingress and egress should be provided to the brake shop and
storage facility.
Commissioner Allred offered Resolution No. Pi,67-147 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded-by Commissioner Farano, to grant Petition for Variance No.~1893, on the basis that
this would be a U-haul and small truck rental facility; that the petitioner had stipulated
that the trucks would be a maximum of 16 feet in length and 1~- tons; that.no semi-~railers
would be s.tored there; that in addition to the recommended conditions of the Report to the
Commission the petitioner should be required to provide a chainlink fence with louvered
screening,similar to that along the freeway, along the north property line tb properly shield
the storage of trailers and trucks from the commeicial uses to the north. (See Resolution Book)

corner of Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard and having frontages of approximately 240 feet

Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson reviewed subject petition, the location of sub,ject property
and uses~~established in close proximity, as well as noting that the existing sign consisting
of 350 square ieet was approved under Building Permit No. 1931 on March•13, 1967; that no
zoning action was required since the sign was interpreted as conforming to the Sign Ordinance;
that the-existing sign was 53~ feet in height, having the main part of this sign located above
31~ feet; and that an additional 60-square foot, chanqeable copy sign was located 10 feet
above ground, and a liberal interpretation of the Code permitted two sign panel portions with
a 15-foot separation - however, the petitioner now was proposing t,~ fill in the 15-foot open-
ing which would result in a sign area of 648 square feet, not~'including the ironwork and
decorative features on the top of the sign, which would be an additional 126 square feet -
or a total of 774 square feet. Furthermore, the Staff's computation of the area of the exist-
ing sign favored the petitioner since a more literal interpretation of the Code would have
required consolidation of the sign panels, and that a second free-standing sign was located
on the Harbor Boulevard frontage.
Mr. Richard Cox, designer of the sign and representing the agent for the petitionpr, appeared
before the Commission and submitted colored renderings of what was proposed.
The Commission, in reviewing the proposed plans, noted that if sub3ect petition were approved
this might set a precedent for requests for larger and higher signs in the Commercial-
Recreation Area along Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue, and since many work sessions
were held prior to the adoption of the Sign Ordinance, at which time the repxesentatives
of the sign companies were present and had stated they would be able to comply with the

(Continued) any consideration of waiver of the Sign Ordinance since no hardship ~
was proven. `; :,",..,
Commissioner Rowland requested an explanation as to why the ironwork on the existing sign
- was not computed in the overall square footage of the sign, to which Mr. Thompson stated
+:hat because of distances between the ironwork, the actual sign and the changeable copy
sign, it was interpreted that these would be accep±able under the existing Sign Ordinance.
Commissioner•Rowland was of the opinion that since the 5ign Ordinance was quite liberal,
a more Titeral interpretation of the sign requirements should be made rather than favoring
any sign that was coming before the Building Department for approval.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition.
A letter from John Swint, designer, reviewinq various portions of the Report to the
Commission, was read by the Commission ~ecretary.
TI-~ HEARING WAS CLOSED.
During the discussion held by the Commission it was determined that the Sign Ordinance as
written~and adopted was quite favorable; that a firm stand should be taken whereby a peti-
tioner-requesting a variance from the Sign Ordinance should prove actual hardship; that
signs as they appeared on Harbor Boulevard were so misleading and obstructive to newcomers
to the City that no one could find a specific site if he wanted to; and that granting of
the many variances compounded the precedents being set for larger and higher and wider
signse
Commissioner Farano offered Resolution No. PC67-148 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Gauer, to deny Petition for Variance No. 1894 on the basis that no
hardship was proven or shown that the petitioner would not be granted a right which was
enjoyed by adjoining property owners, and that signing should be in accordance with the
Sign Ordinance. (See Resolution Book)

boundary of subject property being approximately 182 feet west of the centerline of Orange-
thorpe Park and consisting of Portion No. 1- the southerly 222 feet of subject property,
and Portion No. 2- being the northerly 143 feet. Property presently classified M-1, LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL, ZONE.
Zoning 5upervisor Ronald Thompson reviewed subject petition, the location of subject property ,
and the uses established in close proximity, and further noted that Conditional Use Permit I
No. 549 was granted, subject to conditions, in April of 1964, to permit the establishment of
an office building, restaurant, and cocktail lounge; however, this petition was never exer-
cised; furthermore, subject property was proposed for subdivision into two portions with a i-
household storage company.utilizing the rear portion and having access through a 30-foot !
perpetual easement through the center of the front portion ta Orangethorpe Avenue; and that M_
the Commission would have to determine whether or not the proposed billiard parlor and pizza
parlor on the front portion,should be permitted in the industrial azea since subject property ;
was one lot of an industrial subdivision on which a number of buildings already had been ~,
constructed. ~
Mr. Joe Lane, agent•for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and noted that the I
petitioner had owne~l-~subject property for approximately three~years; that during the inter- ~
vening time he had attempted to develop the property - however-these proposals were never i
consummated; that the°rear portion of subject property has now-bean•conveyed to a storage

'(Continued) upon discussio~~ with the storage company, they~were agreeable that the
~ proposed easement through the portion fronting•on Orangethorpe Avenue
would not be detrimental to their use; that hg would be the proposed
developer of the billiard and:pizza parlor; and that, in his opinion, it would not be detri- ,
mental to the existing.uses in the area_ in which it was proposed to be located. ~
Mr. Lane, in response to Commission questioning, noted that the Imperial Household Shipping j
Company development wes not contingent upon granting of subject petition since ttie petitioner '
had.already conveyed titTe to the rear portion of the parcel. • '~
~ The Commission furth2r~~inquired of Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts what type of control '
could be imposed to~°irrsure that youngsters under twenty-one who°would be patronizing the '
billiard`and pizza parlor did not obtain any alcoholic beverages, since the entire area had '
an open appearancee i
Mre Roberts noted•-that persons under twenty-one years of age•would-not be permitted in the
area which sold~al~coholic beverages; however, the proposed~pizza parlor could be compared
with the "Me-N=Ed•'-s~•Pizza Parlor" where beer was served in th~~mixed-area in con3unction
with the serving of pizza - however, there were further regulations as they pertained to
pool hallse
The agent agreed~this cauld be a valid question, and when the-~tenant asked him to build the
proposed facility, he-visited Belmont Shores where they operated-a°-similar type of facility
and spent a considerable amount of time in observing this operation•to determine whether or
not this contral of under-age persons was feasible, and upon completion of this investigation,
he was convinced that there would be adequate control to separate the under-age persons from
the regular'adults.
The Commission discussed at length the existing operation in Belmant Shores, the sale of
beer to under-age persons, with no ~eparation between the two facilities, and th? need for
adequate safeguards.
Mr. Thompson again noted for the Commission's consideration that•the•basic question was one ~
of land use and whether or not the billiard and pizza parlors were an appropriate land use ,
for the industrial area. j
3
The Commission noted that although owners of the rear portion were in agreement with the eases
ment this would not preclude a change:in use to' a,machine shop with trucklease parking which would
increase:the traffic'flow'consid'erably and create hazards.for the parkingJ~area of the billiard
and pizza parlor.
The agent noted they~would be foolish to attempt to control the°rear portion; however, the !
Commission noted that t~he reverse was also true~ whereupon th~-agerrt noted that the petitioner'
could have.retained-cantrol of the entire parcel, developing it in accordance with the M-1
requirements and still`problems could occur.
Chairman Camp noted that the proposed easement was improperly lo•catecl, and in order to be
effectiver since the Pablic Utilities Commission would not p-ermit•access roads within 100
feet of the railroad•right-of-way, it would be necessary to relocate the access easement
and drives through the-billiard and pizza parlor parking facil~i~ty~by possibly "flopping"
the layout projecting the building for the west portion of the property to alleviate any
problems in the flow.of traffic or parking.
The Commission further noted that subject and adjoining properties were in the M-1 Zone,
and the use proposed was more commercial in nature. Furthermore, there ~ould not be any
control to prevent the teenagers from going through the industrial area to the rear, and
vandalism could occur since these buildings were not policed at night.
The agent noted that Orangethorpe Avenue was developing as a commercial street rather than
an.industrial street; that a survey had been made of the surrounding industrial firms who
had indicated interest in the proposed billiard and pizza parlor; and that he was convinced
the proposed use would not be:detrimental to the area.
Mra Thompson again noted that the prime consideration was one of land use, and if the
Commission deemed the proposed use compatible to the industrial area, the Interdepartmental
Committee for Public Safety and General Welfare would probably want a different type of
easement sucfi as one along the easterly property line where no conflict would occur with
the traffic flow through the parking area; that the easement was necessary since the M-1
Code would not permit subdivision of subject property unless adequate easement provisions
were provided for the rear portion; and that the easement should be a perpetual easement
for the rear portion.

MINUTES, CITY.PLANNING COMMISSION, July 6, 1967 3511
VARIANCE N0. 1896-= The Commission inquired whether or not the rear portion had been
(Continued)• committed by the petitioner and whether or not the exact point of
. entry had,been determined. '
The agent, in reply, noted that an 18-foot easement had been givea;-however, this was not
acceptable to the Citya Furthermore, the easement could be relocated if the City deemed
it advisable, and that the proposed location was made in order to comply with parking
requirements'of the City.
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that he had-sev~ral meetings with the
petitioner regerding the separation of the parcel to the north;°and at these meetings he
had informed the.petitioner that the only thing not acceptable to the City relative to
engineering requirements was the fact that the proposed easement could not be construed .
as having frontage on a dedicated street, and nothing else was discussed.
Mre Craig Jewett appeared before the Commission and••in response to questioning stated that
the storage company did not object to the easement being relocated~to the east, and'tfiat it
might be shifted eas'..-=siy about 20 feet - however, this would rednce the parking by about
15 cars, but this rE..~ .`ion could be made up by placing more parking in the front setback.
Chairman Camp inquired as to the method which could be employed to make the proposed ease-
me~~t a perpetual one in the event the Commission considered sub3ect petition favorably so
that the easement would run with the use of the land.
Mr. Roberts adviser~~the~Commission that this perpetual easement would have to be submitted
to the City Attorney's Office for review prior to recordation.
Mro Daw advised the Commission that a parcel map would be reqaired~for the division of the
property if subject petition were approved; however, the Engineering Division would not
have any opposition to the easement.

Mr. Jewett noted that he was aware the proposed development was not acceptable in its present
form; however, he had an agneement with the tenants subject to the granting of subject peti-
tion and inquired whether oz not the Commission would consider this an acceptable use.
The Commission indicated their answer could not be given at this time.
Mra William R. B1oom, 420 South Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, appeared before the Commission
in opposition, noting that he was the corporate owner of the industrial tract known as ~
"Orangethorpe Park"; that he had sold the petitisniar one of the sixteen lots of this sub-
division; that he was still the owner of twelve of i;he lots, and-six•or seven buildings had ~
been conetructed so far, with an investment of over $500,000; that the proposed use was
commPrcial in character for the front portion and did not serve the needs of the industrial
development there; that~he was not opposed to the split of the property provided all was
developeci for industrial purposes; that when the industrial tract had been developed, no
waivers were requested;~~and the tract was being built in conformance with the Code require-
ments; that he and several persons present in the Council Chamber-were there to protect
their investments in~the industries already located there and-were opposed to granting a
proposed commercial-use-of the industrial property - however~, they were not opposed to
industrially related commercial uses, such as restaurants, banks, motels, or office buildings
which would ser've the industrial development existing there; that•the beer parlor and pool
hall would not enhence-the value of the industrial property;-that-subject property was basic-
ally surrounded by industrial development, and to permit the prop~sed use alon9 the Orange-
thorpe Avenue frontage'would be detrimental to the continaed°development of the industrial
tract; that the subdivision of the property had a cul-de-sac~to~the-rear of these lots, and
teenagers could ut'rTize th'rs street as a raceway and coaid'tarn-~to•vandalism; that when the
petitioner previousfiy~re~qaested an office building, restaurant;=and-cocktail lounge he did
not oppose it based on~the fact that the use was complementary to-the area; that he xepresenteo
all of the owners of the parcels which had been developed for industrial purposes who were all
in opposition to the billiard and pizza parlor; and then requested that the Commission deny
the requested use of the front portion of subject property.
The Commission inquired of Mr. Bloom what specifically was detrimental about the.proposed
billiard and pizza parlor.
Mr. Bloom noted that the Code required the petitioner had to prove the use would not be
detrimental to the adjoining land usE, and it wasn't the opposition's position to prove
that it was; however, the uses were not compatible since they did not complement the estab-
lished industrial uses; that vandalism could occur since many teenagers would be in the area
and this could diecourage industries from developing the balance of the lots.

VARIANCE NOa 1896 - Mr. Bloom also noted, upon questionin9 by the Commission, that there ~
(Continued)~ were five complete buildings on the property that he owned and there
were~five undeveloped lots; however, the balance of the lots were
developed with buildings ranging from 12,000 to 21,000 square feet, `
and one building°was a multi-story building, and that one lot immediately to the north `
of the petitioner's property was developed and others were.in the process of being developed.
The ~ommission'inquired of~Mr. Bloom,.as an industrial developer would he feel recreational
facilities as sucki did not enhance his property since Nortronics had a rather large recrea- :
tional facility. ; :;,?
Mr. Bloom noted that.a maximum of 200 men would be employed in Orangethorpe Park which could
not be compared with the thousands Nortronics or Autonetics had employed, and from his obser- ~:'~:;
vation, there would be no time at lunch to patronize the proposed development, and most men
would go home immediately after finishing work.
~ _~ The Commission also inquired whether or not a bowling alley could be considered acceptable
y; to the area, whereupon'Mr. Bloom noted this would be more in keeping with recr.eational
;:.1" facilities than the proposed use, and it was his opinion that the proposed use did not
.ti;~ serve the area bat wovld have clients from outside of the area which it proposed to serve.
~ 4 However, he was~jvst~as concerned with the possibility of vandalism by young people since
many of these~stxvct~ares had almost solid glass fronts and doors and could be broken and
the buildings entered, with further damage being done.
Mr. Jewett, in•re3~attal, noted that the proposed billiard parlor would not be comparable to ~='
other pool halls; that this would be a$300,000 investment with stats league competition, and
if he did rtot fee~l this was appropriate for the area, he would not have•proposed it. Further-
more automobtles~wotal~d~have to leave the premises, turn left on Orangethorpe, artd then left

ment so that it would not cut through the center of the parcek since this would be necessary,

and the uses estatrlished in close proximity, together with the Report~to the Commission,
noting that develapment-plans had not been submitted with the petition; however, the peti- j
tioner had indicated•development of the property would be in accordance with the C-1 Site

Mrs. Pat Berg, 11951 Brookhurst Street, Huntington Beach, representing the petitioner,
appeared before the Commission and noted that the medicai building was immediately adjacent
to the west of subject property, and they had insufficient parking and, therefore, subject
property would relieve the parking problem of the medical facility, as well as utilization
of the 1,400-squaxe foot block building for a physician's office; that there was sufficient '
room to provide ingress on one side of the house and exit from the other side; and that the t
reason for requesting C-1 Zoning rather than C-0 was to permit use of the present. structure
without a conditional use permit.

A parcel of property located at the southwest corner of Harbor Boulevard
and La Verne Street and having frontages of approximately 62 feet on

857 North Harbor-Boulevard, be reclassified from the R-2, MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ZONE
to the C-1, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, ZONE, to est~blish a small convenience market.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson reviewed subject petition, the location of subject property
and the uses established in close proximity, noting that the grocery store was established as'
e non-conforming°use under Variance Noe 156 in 1951, at which time it was'indicated that thisl
had been a non-cvnforming use in existence for over 20 years; that the petitioner was pro-
posing to replace•the old building,which was badly damaged by a recent fire, with a new
structure;•and that-commercial office uses were established'to the south o'f subject property -!
therefore; th~e-proposed use would be compatible. Furthermore, the petitioner had submitted
a request to°the City Council requesting that he be permitted to proneed with the develop- ~
ment of his•~prop~rty at his own risk, subject to approval of the rezoning,which the City
Council had~granted°on June 13, 1967, subject to the applicant submitting a letter holding
the City harm?ess in the event the rezoning application was not approved. ~
Mr. Charles Davis, one of the petitioners, appeared before the Commission and stated that
the grocery store had been in operation on subject property for over 40 years; however,
he was concerned with the request for dedication of an additional five feet along the west-
erly property line for alley widening purposes since the balance of the alley was only 15
feet wide.
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the petitioner and the Commission that a 15-foot wide '
alley was inadequate to handle two-way traffic, especially since commercial uses would be
utilizing the alley adjacent to subject property because the vehicular access rights to
Harbor Boulevard would have to be dedicated to the City of Anaheim, and access to subject
property would have to be either from the alley or from La Verne Street. I
Mr. Thompson also noted that as the area became more intensely used, and since the area
was in a state of transition, as properties developed for commercial or heavier residential '
uses, the alley would be widened to the 20-foot width required, and that the requirement of
street light and street tree fees was necessary because they had never been collected
previously, although lights and trees were in the area.

Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson seviewed subject petitions, the location of subject
property and uses established in close proximity, together with the Report to the Commission,
noting that the large R-A parcels on both sides of Cherry Way had 'a resolution of intent
approved for R-3 zoning under Reclassification No. 55-56-46; however, none of the properties
had been developed under this reclassification, and the Commission might wish to consider
initiating R-1 zoni~g for the remainder of the properties on both sides of Cherry Way.
Mr. Gordon Fitzpatrick, agent for the petitioners, appeared before the Commission and noted
that the large parcel which had considerable vacant space growing with weeds would be develq~ed
with single-family homes, which would be a considerable improvement for the street~ and that

CONDITIONAL USE of land having a frontage of approximately 130 feet on the south side
PERMIT N0. 953 of Santa Ana Street and having a maximum depth of.approximately 121 feet,
the easterly boundary of subject property being approximately 160 feet
- west of the centerline:of State College Boulevard, and further described
as;1922 East Santa Ana Street. Property presently classified G1, GE'NERAL COMMERCIAL, ZONE
(DEED'RESTRICTED TO SPECIFIC USES).
REQUESTED CLASSIFICATION: DELETION OF DEED RESTRICTIONS IN ORDER TO PERMIT A
~ COIN-OPERATED CARWASH.
REQUESTED OpNDITIONAL USE: TO ESTABLISH A OOIN-OPERAI'ED CARWASH~ WITH WqIVERS OF:
(1) REQUIRED FAONT LANDSCAPING, (2) REqUIRED INTERIOR
LANDSCAPING~ (3) REQUIRED SCREEN LANDSCAPING, AND (4)
REQUIRED 6-FOOT MASONRY WpLL.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson reviewed subject petition, noting that the C-1 zoning for
subject property as granted under Reclassification No. 61-62-44 required the petitioner to
record deed restrictions on the property, limiting it to 27 specified (but fairly extensive)
uses; howeverf the coin-operated carwash was not a permitted use - therefore the netitioner
was requesting that the Mayor of the City of Anaheim be authorized to execute a written
consent for the removal of deed restrictions imposed on the aforementioned property, as
requested originally by the City of Anaheim; that the C-1 Site Development Standards required
the construction of a masonry wall where two-thirds of the property was opposite single-
family residential zoned property; and that the Commission might wish to consider whether
or not the•ase proposed, with its inherent noise, lights and traffic, might be detrimental
in view of• the location of the proposed carwash immediately adjacent to the east of single-
family zoned and developed property, and to the south, across the street.from single-family
zoned property.
Mr. Walter~Steinbrink, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission, noting
that it was proposed to remove the deed restrictions in order to allow the proposed coin-
operated carwash.
The Commission inquired of Mr. Thompson whether or not removal of the deed restrictions
was necessary to permit the coin-operated carwashe
Mr. Thompson noted that there were 27 specific uses, and a carwash was not one of them.
The Commission further noted that in the requirement of the City of Anaheim for the recorda-
tion of deed restrictions, it must have been determined that other than the specific uses
would be detrimental to the residential environment surrounding subject property; therefore,
the carwash would also be considered detrimental.
Mr. David Webster, 601 Marjan Street, appeared before the Commission, noting-that he would
be developing the proposed coin-operated carwash; that the hours of operation would be
determined by the City for this particular area - however, some of the carwashes operated
24 hours a day; that during the past four years since he had established carwashes in Orange
County, there was no objection from the Police Department regarding traffic congestion or
juvenile problems, and since subject property was adjacent to a service station and would
be set back intn this area, this would be considered a more appropriate use. Furthermore,
in response to Commission questioning, he noted that Mr. and N{rs. Henry Steinbrink and
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Steinbrink lived immediately adjacent to the west of subject property
behind the 6-foot masonry wall; that the building could be oriented toward State College
Boulevard so that a less ob3ectionable appearance would be presented to the single-family
homes on the north side of Santa Ana Street - however, the requirement of a 6-foot masonry
wall would not be feasible because of a 30-foot access easement along the west property
line which served the commercial uses fronting on State College Boulevard.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petitions. ,
1'HE HEARING WAS CIASEDo
ConsiderabTe~discussion was held by the Commission relative to whether or not a 6-foot
masonry wall should be required, or whether screen landscaping shoulo be required, and
whether or not the proposed use of subject property under the C-1 regulations would be
compatible to the area.

RECLASSIFICRTION - Mr. Thompson advised the Commission that the G1 Site Development
N0. 61-62-44- Standards required that a wall be constructed with screen landscaping
where commercial uses were across the street from residential uses in
CONDITIONAL•USE order to protect the residential environment of the area; however, in
PERMIT N0. 953 this instance, it might be detrimental to require the wall because of
(Continued) the 30-foot access easement for the commercial properties which had
no access to State College Boulevard and were required to project their
~ traffic to this 30-foot easement.
Commissioner Rowland was of the opinion that this particular site was not suited for auto-
motive activity because of the residents across the street to the north and to the west;
that this was the third time subject property wes under consideration for removal of deed
restrictions•;~that the conditional use permit for the establishment of a service station
had been denied by the Commission; that automotive related commercial activity should ~ot
be p.ermitted to-back up or front on residential uses; and that,in his opinion, the request
for removal of the deed restrictions should be ~isallowed.
Commissioner Rowland offered Resolution No. PC67-154 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Mungall, to recommend to the City Council that the request for
execution of a written consent to removal of deed restrictions be disapproved on the basis
that the specific 27 uses were established as a pxotection of the single-family residential
environment to the west and on the north side of Santa Ana Street; that the proposed use
would be an automotive oriented facility which was not desirable and would be detrimental
to the residential character of the area because of its inherent noise, light and traffic;
and that the proposed heavier commercial use should be confined to a more intense commercial
use area or industrial area, rather than adjacent to residential uses. (See Resolution Book)

GENERAL PLAN - CONTINUED PUBLiC HEARItdG. INITIATED BY TIiE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION,
AMENDMENT N0. 96 204 East Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, California, to consider an amendment
to the Anaheim General Plan in the general area bounded by South Street
on the north, Ball Road on the south, State College Boulevard on the
we:,t, and Sunkist Street on the east.
Subject General Plan Amendment was continued from the meeting of June 19, 1967, to allow
time for the agent for the petitioner of Conditional Use Permit No. 948 to be present since
the proposed amendment would affect said property.
Assistant Planner Charles Roberts reviewed General Plan Amendment No. 96, noting that it
was presented in its entirety at the meeting of June 19, 1967, and was initiated as a result
of the filing of Conditional Use Permit No. 948 for the establishment of a mobilehome park
considered as a multiple-family reei4=ntial use having dwelling units greater than the
General Plen reflected; that the past aciion by the Commission and City Council indicated
the land use should be low density residential; and that the Commission might wish to con-
sider reaffirming the General Plan as it stood with low density residontial uses, or amend
it to reflect a land use change in its symbology; however, in the intervening time when the
General Plan was adopted and the present time, all requests for a density greater than the

GENERAL PLAN - Plan reflected was opposed by both the Commission and the City Council, ,
AMENDMENT N0. 96 as well as homeowners in the area, at which time the Council indicated ~'
(Continued) this portion of the City of Anaheim should be set aside for single-
family residential uses only, and the proposed request was not consist-
ent with the policy.
Mre Roberts further noted that if General Plan Amendment No. 96 was considered favorably,
there were•-six alternatives prepared by the Staff indicating low-medium density and medium
density for 20 acres, 30 acres, and 40 acres in the general vicinity of said General Plan
Amendment. ~
Discussion was held by the Commission relative to whether or not evidence should be submitted
for Conditional Use Permit No. 948 prior to the Commission's action on General Plan Amendment
No. 96. After completion of the discussion it was determined that Conditional Use Permit
No. 948 should be heard concurrently with General Plan Amendment No. 96.
CONDITIONAL USE - CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING. ETHEL L. WAGNER, 2201 East Wagner Avenue,
PERMIT N0. 948 Anaheim, California, Owner; LEONARD G. SMITH, 125-D South Claudina
Street, Anaheim, California, Agent; requesting permission to construct
a mobilehome park for adults on property described as: An irregularly
shaped parcel of land containing approximately 30 acres, located on the north side of Wagner
Avenue, having a frontage of approximately 670 feet and a maximum depth of approximately
1,280 feet, the westerly property line being located approximately 670 feet east of the
centerline of State College Boulevard. Property presently classified R-A, AGRICULTUAAL, ZONE.
Subject petition was continued from the meeting of June 19, 1967 due to serious illness in
the immediate family of the agent for the petitioner.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson reviewed subject petition, the uses established in close
proximity, the location of subject property, as well as the Report to the Commission, noting
that serious consideration should be given to the three.areas in which single-family subdi-
visions had been established based on the policy statement of the General Plan, and that.the
proposed trailer park would have an effect on the existing development in the area since this
was a more intense use of the vacant land; that mobilehomes were similar to apartments as far
as traffic was concerned, although they were permitted in the R-A, R-3, C, and M Zones -
however, it was suggested that since mobilehomes had a low-medium residential characteristic,
they should be established in the areas which were designated on the General Plan for low-
medium uses based on present land use policies of the Commission and City Council as reflected
on the General Plan.
Mr. Thompson further noted that a letter had been received from the agent for the petitioner
requesting continuance of Conditional Use Permit No. 948 to the meeting of August 14, 1967,
in order to revise the plans so that they would more nearly comply with suggestions made by
the Development Services staff, and that the letter had been received after the Report to
the Commission had been prepared.
Mr. Leonard Smith, a9ent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and requested
that the Commission recognize his request for continuance of subject petition for the sub-
mission of revised plans since it was his feeling the land use for the area was appropriate,
and the recommendations made by the Staff had merit since the original pldns he had proposed
to submit reflected a less dense use with considerable landscaping adjacent to the single-
family residential uses, and that the original plan would have compliec~ with the proposed
Trailer Ordinance; furthermore, it was his belief that if a trailer park was an appropriate
land use for this area, it should be of first-class quality.
Commissioner Farano inquired whether or not the revised plans would change the density, to ~
which Mr. Smith indicated he was not aware that this would make a change since the original
calculations indicated an 8.3 density - however, the Staff's review of the plans indicated
11.6 dwelling units per net residential acre; that if the landscaping were placed as required,!
and the distance between trailers was increased, this would naturally mean a reduction in the j
number of spaces proposed.
i
i
Commissioner Farano further noted that from his observation, one of the considerations the ~
Commission had~was a General Plan Amendment to determine whether or not the characteristics !
of the area had changed to warrant consideration of the General Plan Amendment, and that he '
was of the opinion that every petitioner was entitled to as much time as possible for the
submission of revised plans.
Commissioner Gauer noted that at the public hearing on June 19, the Council Chamber was
completely filled with persons in opposition, and the continuance of the conditional use
permit was predicated`on the fact that the agent had requested continuance due to illness
in the family; however, since the Council Chamber was again filled with persons waiting '
to hear the Commission's action on the General Plan Amendment and the proposed trailer '
park, ~ , : .

CONDITIONAL USE - requested that the City Attorney's representative, Mro Roberts, indicate
PERMIT N0. 948. whether the Commission could continue or deny subject request.
(Continued)
Mr. Roberts noted that if it was the Commission'S desire to consider
the General Plan Amendment and continue the conditional use permit,
this could be done.
Considerable discussion then was.held by the Commission relative to whether or not both the
General Plan Amendment and the conditional use permit should be considered as one, or whether
the Commission should take action or. the General Plan Amendment.
'i€~.~
Commissioner Rowland noted that in fairness to everyone present in the Council Chamber to "`"'"~
Mr. Smith and his client, the techniques expressed by Mr. Smith regarding the reduction of ;~`;~
the density with more landscaping was unnecessary since it was mose important that land use '`~''~~?~
be considered rather~than whether or not a change in plans would make the trailer park more '`'`~
compatible; and any delay in the Commission's decision would work a hardship on the agent as
well as~~the•persons in opposition to subject petition; furthermore, it was his opinion that
the area in•which subject property was located was the last completely single-family R-1 area.
in the community, and the 29+ acres would be developed as single-family homes and would be ~
more compatible with surrounding uses.
Commissioner Farano noted that he doubted very much whether the petitioner or his egent
could revise the plans materially to make them more acceptable; however, it was his opinion
that any request for continuance should be honored.
Commissioner Rowland indicated that it was his opinion that both the General Plan Amendment
and the conditional use permit should be heard concurrently in order that the petitioner
might not claim the application had been prejudged because of action taken on the General
Plan Amendment at a prior hearing.
After further discussion pro and con as to separation of the General Plan Amendment action
and continuance of Conditional Use Permit No. 948, Commissioner Allred offered a motion to
hear General Plan nmendment No. 96 and Conditional Use Permit No. 948 concurrently.
Commissioner Mungall seconded the motion. On roll call, all Commissioners present voted
~~aYe~~
Mr. Smith then edvised the Commission that he wished the Commission to withdraw the petition
from any further consideration by the City of Anaheim.
Commissioner Allred offered a motion to accept withdrawal of Petition for Conditional Use
Permit No. 948 by the petitioner. Commissioner Mungall seconded the motion. MUTION CARRIED.
Commissioner~Rowland offered Resolution No. PC67-156 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded•by Commissioner Mungall, to recommend to the City Council that General Plan Amend-
ment No. 96 be disapproved on the basis that the alternatives presented did not reflect the
existing general land use policies in the area or development of the area, and that proper-
ties in the general area of General Plan Amendment No. 96 be designated as predominantly
low density residential in character. (See Resolution Book)

limiting use of the.property to business and professional offices.
Zoning Supervisor~Ronald Thompson presented a report to the Commission regardin9 Reclassi-

subject property to business and professional offices only, in order to permit use of
subject property~for.a dry cleaning pickup station. (Copy submitted to the City Council
as well.)
Discussion held between the Commission, Staff, and City Attorney's representative is
summarized as follows: ,
I 1. Establishment of guidelines for the proper administration and determinatiorr
, as to whether a residence qualifies for:
a. "Limited commercial use of a residential structure"; or _
b. "A~full range of commercial uses".
2a Approval of the use of converted residences without limitation would open
"Pandora's Box" which would not be in the best interest of the community,
unless the structures conform to all requirements of the C-1 Zone Site
Development Standards and Title 15, Building and Housing, of the Anaheim
Municipal Code.
3. Necessity to interpret the G1 2one literally, in order that "limited commercial
uses of the residential structures" will prevent general commercial use without
definite safeguards of these structures, such as complying with Title 15, and
all the Site Development Standards of the G1 Zone for full range use.
Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to recommend to the City Council that in order for
the residentia~ structure to qualify for the full range of C-1 uses, the,structure must;
meet all.requirements of ?itle 15; Building"and Housing, as well as all of the requirements
of the Site Development Standards of the Gl', General Commercial, Zone, and that the Planning
