Subject petition was continued from the meetings of July 31 a~id August 28, 1967, to allow

25~ of the floor area devoted to food preparation, and from the meeting of Saptember 13,
1967, because of a tie vote.
Assistant Planner Charles Roberts reviewed subject petition, the location of subject
property, the uses established in close proximity, and further noted that the petitioner
had submitted revised plans since the Commission last took a roll call for approval of
subject petition, said plans indicating that the bar had been eliminated and additional
tables and chairs were being provided.
Commissioner Farano noted that in a previous Report to the Commission the staff had
indicated the petitioner was.somewhat limited by the owner.of the property relative to
maintaining an additional restaurant in this shopping area, and inquired whether this
was a lease privilege and whether the petitioner had a valid reason for possibly indicat-
ing that he was being denied a right bPcause of this stipulation by the owne~.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that the petitioner had indicated
to the staff that the owner of the center felt only one restaurant should be permitted in
this small shopping center.

CONDITIONAL USE - Commissioner Farano further continued that although this was not a
PERMIT NOe 954 legitimate area of inquiry for the Commission in order to determine
~Continued whether or not the petitioner qualified f~.a variance'9 it was necessary
to define whether or not 8'beer bar or a restaurant was proposed~ and
the revised plans indicated that it met the criteria of a restaurant;
however~ this could mean he might be ousting himself fxom a lease - thus, what position
would the Commission be placed in, as well as the petitioner, if the Commission approved
other than;what the petitioner originally applied foro
Mr> Thompson advised tr.e Commission that the basic question before the Commission was
land use and whethex or not a beer bar was appropriate far this center, or whether or
not the revised plans fell within t~he code of a restaurant or between the twoe Furthermore,
the plans as submitted before the Commission this date met the intent of the code as it
pertair.ed to a restaurant, and if any deviation from the approved plans by the Commission
was submitted, this could be grounds for violation of the conditional uee permit, which
could be revokedo
Commissioner Farano offered Resolution Noo PC67-212 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Rowland~ to grant Petition for Conditional Use Permit Noa 954,
subject to development in accordance with exhibits marked Noso 1 and 2, and Revision Noe 2,
Exhibit Noe 3, on the basis that the revised plans met the intent of the definition of a
restaurant of the Anaheim Municipal Codeo

The Commission, in reviewing subject petition, noted that 1) to their knowledge it had not
been the policy of the City to grant waiver of the two-story height limitation where apart-
ments were 3djacent to single-family residential uses - this was similar to a situation
that occurred in Buena Pa~k, and the boundaries of two cities were not reco9nized as the
boundary lines of code requirements; 2) that the north side of the proposed apartments
seemed to be more appropriate since commercial uses were established on the westerly seven
lots, and a resolution of intent to commercial uses was established on the no=therly sixteen
acres; 3) that at the time reclassification of subject property was approved, plans were

Assistant Planner Charler, Roberts reviewed sub~ect petition, the location o: subject property
and uses established in close pr.oximity, noting that the petitioner was proposing to expand
one of the three units by the addition of approximately 500 s~uare feet along the easterly
property line, thus making the building within five feet from the property line along Dresden
Street~ while code required a 15-foot landscaped s~tback where R-2 property abutted a local
streeta
Mre Edwin Becker, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated that
subject addition would be in conformance with all requirements of the code except for the
landscaped setback required, and that it was necessary to have a larger apartment for the
manager; furthermore, the apartment development to the east had also constructed an ad~i-
tion, and the existi.ng wall would hide the pxoposed expansio,no

After the Cormnission had reviewed the plans, the agent for the qetitioner requested considera-,

would welcoroe the proposed addition since ~;:is would remove a picket fence and would improve
the area since the property had not been well maintained; however, the new owner intended to

them permanent struotures which wouid reduce the value of the R~i homes and present an

during..school hours9 but there have been break;aet cookoutay even barbecueBy and the
aoiees in the general area started at 5i30 A,M, many morninga and did not stop until

balls9and when ahe asked why their supervision wae not maintained9 the teachers stated
they could not be everywhere at once; and that, ~n her opinions the church-school had
not been very coaperativeo
Commiseioner Gauer noted that children could now eat their lunches there; howevery the
City schools had uncovered lunch aseas which were not as close to residential uses as the
proposed eating area, and that the nuisance at other times could be alleviated if the
church were better neighbors by trving to control the aituation through supervisione
TI-~ HEARING WAS CLOSEDe
Discussion was held by the Commission relative to the large acreage on which the school
and church were located, and it would seem that in order to relieve the opposition ex-
pressed by the families to the west, there was no reason for not setting back 25 feet
from the west property linee
Commissioner Rowland offered Resolution No, PC67~216 and moved for its passage and
adootiony seconded by Commiss~oner Ganery to grant Petition for Variance Noo 1915 in
part, permitting the covered outdoor eating area to abut the north property line9 but

M~•< Robert Moorey representing the develope.~ o° the R-1 txact +o the east, appeared in

of the things that the G~.ty o£ 4naheim Engineer?ng Department stressed ~to the developers
he represented wher~ Tract Noo ~i3d3 +~as approved9 was the extra bi:rden of traffic9 and
the propased develop~cent would add cansiderably more traf:ic than the iow density pro~ected
for the areai that if olans had been submittedy this might have had a bearing on whether
more opposition could be expressed or wi~hdrawn ~ however9 the area was already developing

RECLASSIFICATION - Mr. Rowland also noted that the fact that Impexiai P,ight~ay and Santa
NO< 67- 8-2I Ana Canyon.Road were designated.£or.commercial usee had no g~aograQhic `
(Continued effect on subject prope:ty because of the a~cess point6 perm~'.tted
between the commercial property and sub~ect property; that he would
never be able to vote for R-3 zoning in the Hill and Canyon area
which did not have a natural geographic boundary which could separate t~e low density
from the heavier deneity uees; that engineering sequirements9 s•ewer and water9 and other
ut311ties developed and pro~ected for this area were done only for lnw density; that
although Mre Queyrel indicated that R-3 would act as a buffer betweer~ these boundariesy
the boundariee did not sadiate between R-3 and R-lg furthermoren this area was essentially
developed-and projected for R-1y and by natural course would be developed for R-1 in ite
~r entSretyo
Commissioner Herbst noted that if eubject petition wexe approvedp and development became
successfuly it could extend further south on the oroperty now R~99 but ad'acent to the
R~1 tract; then the City's projected densities would be thsown oui of px•opertior. to all
pro~ected for that area,
Comm'~asioner Gauer noted that there were so many changes going on in ths area at th~s
time reith ~oad problemsy that the proposed reclass>f!cation was premature at this timeo
Comm'8rioner Herbat inquired of Off~ce Engineer Arthur Daw what was the proposed maximu~n
traffic count for Santa Ana Canyon Road after the fxeeway v~as cempletiedo
Mra Daw stated that the estimate made by the Tra£ffc Engineer far Santa Ana Canyon Road
within ten yeare would have the same traffic count of 309000 cars per daya assumi.ng
optimum development in the area as the road had with rreeway traffico
Commissioner Rowiand then 6tated he feZt development of the area to its optirr~um would not
occur with3n fifty yearso
Cortunissioner Gauer again stated that he felt the property was more suitable for Iow density
residential development than multiple~family residential development because of tt~e iopog~
raphy of the areao
Chairman CamQ noted that Mre Queyrel made a good point that the City would have to consider
several'different types of zones = but until the freeway was developed and the City knew
what traffic flow and problems wou~d be in that area9 it would be undeairable to change
zones in that area on a piecemeal basis at this t3mey and the Ccmm.iesion should not be
doing something without any proper knowledge of wb.at was good fox the areao
Comod.661oner Farano then commented that the City would have the ~ame problem that already
existed in other areas of the city9 and the proposed zoning was pxemature since no natural
boundaries had been established9 and as long as the City had a chance to maintain a resi~
dential integrity of the areay thie should be done in accordance with good development
standards - otherwise the same problem would occur againe Furthermoren it had not been
the policy of the Commission to require plans under reclassl:ications; howevera he would
find it difficult under any circum~tances at this point i,o approve reclassification of
the property located within the Hill and Canyon area until the City had a better idea of
the prohlems.for the areae
CommiBS3oner Gauer offered Resolution Noo PC67-217 and moved for its paseage and adoptiony
aeconded by Commiseioner Farano9 to recommend to the City Council that Peiition for
Reclassi£ication Noo 67-68~21 be disaparoved on the basis that approval would establish an
undesirable precedent for extenBion of multiple~family development southerly of sub~ect
property9 thus introducing a considerably greater popuiation into the area than was pro-
~ected on the Hill and Canyon Ge:leral Plan; that the residerttial densities similar to that
proposed would be more appropriate in ar~as that were set apart from the Iow density areas
by logical physical boundaries; that increased density in this area could create circula-
tion probiems by increasing the traffic flow'through low delsity areas; that low density
residenti~l development has already occurred and established ad3acent to sub3ect property;
and that the proposed church and school to the east9 and the proposed high school to the
west of sub~ect pxopexty were considered compatible uses with single-family residential
uses;`furthermore~ subject property was developable and better suited for low density
residential development than that oroposeda (See Resolution Book)

h~s present real estate ooerat~on was Iocated at i016 West LSncoln Avenue9 and it was h3~
intentian to use sub~ect oroperty for a real estate officeq that the reqnested waivers did
not mean a hardshio would ex.ist for the properties in close p:oximity since the type o£
xeal e6tate bueiness he was in would Snvolve only three cars fox the genera.l public and
two for the salegmenp that because he dealt in commerctal and industrial business9 it was
necezsaxy for the agents to visit the o:ospects' offices9 and very few people would be
drop~ins at subject propertyg that the amount of advertising wou].d be by telephone and
lettern and he did not anticipate any parking problem since very few customers would be
Goming to sub~ect prooertyy furthermore9 a 6~foot maso:ti:y wall a~!,d exist 3~ong the east property
Iineg with a chainlink fence along the west property line9 covered with reed matting in

~f subject propertyj that he rrnuld add some additionai plantings and take out a portion of

tion proceedings for those properties on the south side of Ball Road between Iris Street
on the east and Harbor Boulevard on the west for C-0 uses since the General Plan indicated
this suitable for professional office useg furthermorey this was one of the areas considered
in the Front~-On Study since it was already approved for C~-0. This reclassification proceed-

4
street not on2y served a large residential area9 but provided ingress and egresg to the ' _„
rear of a shooping center located at Euclid Street and La Palma Avenue; that since the ~ °
opening of La Palma Avenue extending easterly between Olive and East Streets9 additional '
~ traffic had been noted, causing an acaeleration 1n the change of use - thus9 the only
argument ixith xespect to the use of the property was its compatibility witri the neighbors
and a petition signed by almost every neighbor within 30Q feet of eub~ect property was then
presented to the Commissiony noting that they had no ob~ectxon to the proposed use of the
property located at 1526 West La Paittw pvenue for a fam:ly oortrait photographic studio;
that the petitioner wae presently located on West Lincoln Avenue -• however, the owner of
the prooerty was planning extensive renovation and expansion of the florist ehop - thus
it waa necessary for them to find other facilitiea; that the City of Anaheim needed com-
me.rcial ~rnperties which were less expensive than high~rise development in the Center City
area as proposed in the Front~-On Studyy and that it was hoped the Commissian would give
con~idzration to the emall businees raan who could not afford and did not require large,
commerc:ial facilitiesp and that it was their intent to remove the existing fence in order
to provid~~ adequate ingress and egress from the alley to the parking facilitye '
Co~esioner Farano noted that at the rate requests for development of the residential
front~ons for cammercial of£ice buildings was indicated9 there would be no shortage of
the low density9 commercial faci2ity ae reflected on the Commission's report9 and theee
types o: development would occur at a more rapid rate than high-rise buildings; further-
morey there was no ~ustification for the waivers .requested9 an~ there seemed to be no
intention to orotect the ad3oining properties £rom 3mrasion of commercial useso
Commissioner Herbst noted that the property owners in close proximity had no opposition
to the oroposed photographic studio; however, this would open the door for any other uses
:or snb~ect property which might be v~ry ~~tsimental to the resldential integxity of the
area and might set an undesirable g~recedent for sim3lar commercial requests of the adjoin-

~ restdential lots throughout the City in 17 areas which were more suitable for commercial
uses - howevery sub~ect property was not one because the propert3es could retain their
~ residerstial integrity through the use of masonry walls and~or landscaping since they had
a secondary circulat{on on an alley;to the southe
Tt~ I~ARSNG WAS CLOSED. ~ ,
Commissioner Rowland noted that one,of the reasons this was excluded from the list for
coriversion to commercial uses was bec9uee th~re wae,plenty of alley access and adequate
setback9 which made this more ideally suited for R-1; that the fact the City was not
actively encouraging the development of low rental commercial facilitiee was not signifi-
cantp that the City had a long history of actively discouraging low rental "anyth3ng" -
such as minimum size of dwelling unitss that if the City were trying to provide for all
segmenta of the population9 it would not have any strength in any directionn either
commercial, industrialp or~r~sidential~ howevery at this pointy the City did have a strong
recreation-oriented commercial usey relatively strong residential areasy and they were not
interested in raeeting either end of the spectrums that there was no evidence the Ctty could
support low rental economicallys and that the exi.st~.ng small cortunerctal facilities indicated
the largest vacancies within the communityo Mr, Rowland continued that it was the Commis-
sion's desire to give the Front-On Study a chance to wox~k and give it some backbone for
development of commercial properties designatede
Commissioner Rowland offered Resolution Noo ?C67-222 and moved for its passage and adoptiony
seconded by Commissioner Farano9 to recommend to the City Council that Petition for Reclassi~
fication Noo 67-68-25 be disapproved on the basis that the proposed reclassification of the
property was not necessary or desirable and wouTd not be consistent with.the zoning and land
use'in close proximity of sub~ect property, and the resfdential properties fronting along
4he south side'of La Pa1ma A`renue were aart of a Front-On Study for possible conversion to
commercial usesn and said report indicated this area should be retained for residentiai
uses; that the Front~-On Study indicated approximately i76 homes in 17 speciftc areas in
widely separated geographic locations thxoughout the entSre city that would be suitable
for commercial re-use~ that the approval o£ individual zoning requests such as this in areas
that should be retained for residential use could deter quality commercial development in
aporopriate locations and lead to the ultimate rezoning of all 2y700 homes fronting or
siding on arterial highways to commercial useso (See Resolution Book)

~
that the petitSoner was oroposing to relocate the retail portion of the Fed~Mart discount '~`^~~
department sto.:e operating northerly of subject property; that there appearfJd to be adequate '~`j
parking on the property and peripherai and interior landscapSng was indica';ed; that in the
event this commerciai request was approvedy the CommSssion might wish to consider develop~
ment in accordance with the site development standards of the C~1 Zone; and. that Parcel Map
No. 6t was filed with the Engin~eering Division July lly 1967 - however9 the propoeed par
cel
.
di~ision did not conform to the plot plan submitted with subject reclassi~icationa
~
Mr. Cii£ton Woife9 agent for the petitioner9 appeared before the Commission and noted that !
the petitioner was also Qresent in the Council Chamber; that the plans indicated what was
proposedy and this would mean relocating Fed-Mart from its exposure to the Santa Ana Freeway ~
to Li
l
'A
nco
n
venue where more commercial exposure was avaiiable; that the proposed use would
b
'
e compatible with the petitioner
e des3re for the balance of the development of his property;~ `'
, and that plans had been rushed through in order to take advantage of the timing of the
application ~ however9 more precise plans were being drawn at the present timea
Mrse James Chavos9 I903 Embassy Avenue9 appeared before the Commissiony stating she repre-
sented the Lincoln Park Homeowners Association; that they were not in opposition to the
relocation of Fed~Mart - however, they were concerned with the possibility of having an
~
additional service station at the northeast corner of Crescent Way and Lincoln Avenue since
there would already be a service station-type facility within the Fed-Mart facilityn and
there seemed to be no apparent reason to have two service stations within close proximity ~
to each othery and this would not be good planning from an economic standpoint since so
many eervice statione already were located at Euclid and Lincoln and Brookhurst and Lincolno ~
Mro Wolfe noted that a service station was not permitted under the requested C-2 Zoney and !
an aoplication would have to be filed for a variance to permit a service stationy and that
stnce plane were not submitted that would include a service station at this time9 this
wovld not be discuseedy or a part of the applicatione
1'he staff. noted that the entire property had been adve:tisedy which would include the service
stat3on sitey and a petition would have to be filed to grant the service station at such
time as it waa to be constructede
Commiseio.ner Rowland noted that the proposed use of sub~ect prooarty might be more compatible
than industrial usess however9 if a¢ervice station was proposed for that inter~action9 he
would vote against it since the same type of service would be permitted by right in the
shopping center facility9 and if the shopping facility was relocated9 the site development
standards of the C-1 Zone should be adhered toe
Mxso Chavos then noted that if the entire area was advertised and included in sub~ect peti~
t3ony this would mean the northwest corner of Crescent Way and Lincoln AvenuE would be C-2
Zoning; therefore9 the waiver would be necessary - which would be considered at another
public hear,ing - whereupon the Commission advised Mrse Chsvos that this was9 indeedp a facto
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson noted for the Commission that rather than tying approval
of sub~ect petition to plane' it would be more desirable to require development in accord-
ance with the G-1 site development standardse
TI~ F~ARING WAS CLOSEDe
Mro Thompson further noted that the proposed development would be similar to that presently
existing north of sub~ect pxoperty; howevery the staff was concerned that an additional
service station was being proposed s3nce one would exist ae an integrated part of the
Fed-Mart facility9and a second service station in so close proximity might have to be
deletede

Assistant Planner Charles Roberts reviewed sub~ect petitionsy the location of sub~ect
propertyy the uses established in close proximityy further noting that the petitioner
had filed a petition for reclassification to C~1 zoningy and the Commission had directed
the staff te initiate reclassification proceedings to the R-3 zoning on the basis that
this wou~d be moae compatible with the uees established and would prnv:.de additional
buying power for and support the commerciai facilities already established in the area,
Furthermoren communication received from the Parks and Recreation Department indicated
that the property i~ question would not be feasible for future acquisition as an extension
of La Palma Parke It was also noted that the commercial element of the Anaheim General
Plan indicated that the existing neighborhood shopping center and nearby office and medical
facilities more than satisfied the needs of the residents in this general area4 and th~t com~
munity and regional shopping £acilities were within easy com~euting distancee
Mro Jack Clinkscalesy representing the City ~f Fu7.lerton9 appeared before the Commissiony
noting that sub~ect property had been owned by the City of Fullerton since 1910; thit
taxes had been paid on this property since that time; that the Fullerton City Cour.cil had
retained an independent appraisal firm to determine the potential for sub,ject propertys
and this independent firm had suggested commercial or commerciai office uses since this
would be similar to those already established in the area; and that three service stations
were constructed at the intessection of La Palma Avenue and Harbor Boulevarde Furthermore,
if cortunercial uses were establishedy this could be a means of revenu~ through leasing of
the property9 whereas it was more remote to haye multiple-family development on the property9
and the City of Fullerton was agreeable to the recommended conditions of approval - however9
the time limitation o£ 180 days would be insufficient due to the length of time it took
governmental agencies to act on various requestse
Mra Clinkscales, in response to Commission questioning,relative to placing the p•roperty on

The Commissiony upon reviewing the revised plans of development9 noted that the reason
for originally reauiring dedication of access rights to South Street was to prevent
aommercial traffic from gaining access to a street which was developed with single-family
residencese It was aiso the Commiesion's intent to assure these property owners of a
degree of pxivacy and to retain the residential integrity of the area by requiring the
6-foot decorative masonry wall along the north and west boundariese A major portion of
the oppoeition expressed by the residents at the Seotember 5th meetin9 and at many previous
zoning hearings was concern over the destruction of this residential integritye
Commissioaer Herbst offered a motlon to approve the revised plans submitted under Condi-
