A rectangularly shaped parcel of land having a frontage of approximately 88 feet on the
south side ~~ Ball Road and 'naving a maximum depth of approximately 420 feet, the westerly
boundary of ~ubject property being approximately 460 feet east of the centerline of
Brookhurst Streete Property presently classified R-A, AGRICULTURAL, ZONEo
Sub~ect petition was continued from the meeting of November 20, 1967, in order to readvertise
the petition to incorporate the on-sale liquor fn a proposed restaurant, in addition to the
requested walk-up restaurant, since C-1 zoning had been approved instead of the requested
C-2 zoninge
Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed subject petition, noting the reason for continu-
ance from the November 20th meeting, and the fact ihat the Commission had recommended C-1
zoning, based on the fact that the requested C-2 zoning would be undesirable in the area
in which it was proposed to be looated. Uses established in close proximity were a1a~
reviewed, noting that the basis for the request for waivers was ihe fact that an R-A parcel
existed to the east., and that development plans had not been submitted for the proposed
.restaurante
Mre Dean Brown, designer of the proposed restaurants, appeared before the Commission and
stated that development plans had not been submitted, but would be submitted at the time
the building permit was requested.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompc.;n advised Mre Brown that additional plans were necessary
for subject petition; whereupon Mr. Brown replied that the plans would be submitted, but
they would reflect the new parking layout suggested by the Commission.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
The Commissicn advised Mr, Brown that development plans for the bar should indicate
complete separation from the dining area.

} ~,
~ ^~' Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed the location of subject property, the proposed
*' requeet for a 9-3~4-acre parcel9 and the waivers requested due to the fact that the R-3
Zone did not permit the size or width of lots proposed, or use of a common wall as a
k<„ t` property line; and that the height waiver was necessary because,of the R-A parcel to the
~ westo Furthermore, the petitioner was proposing a covexage of 60~ while only 55~ was
A~ permitted in the R-3 Zonee Previous zoning action on sub~ect property was also reviewede
~,
' :`yi Commissioner Allred entered the Council Chamber, at 2:16 PeM.
Mro Roberts also noted that the frontage for 169-foot depth was proposed for commercial
purposes, and that a stub street was proposed to provide cisculation westerly when the
property to the west was developedo
Mre Edelson, representing the petitioner, noted that the proposed development was not a
new concept, but an extension of the old condominium; that many of the undesirable features
o£ the condomfnium had been eliminated, basica3ly making reference to maintenance of the
property, streets9 etc., since it was proposed to have every,lot fac3ng a standard street and
back--on to a public alleyy and that these Iots would be under private ownership limited to
two families per :.ot, while six famiiies could be supported if standard R~3 lots were
pxoposede
The Commission noted that condominiums provided considerably more open space, while the
proposed development did not provide for this requirement as proposed under the R-3 Codee
In response to Commission questioning, Mre Edelson noted that there was 20 feet between
each buildino; that each of the two iots would have a common wall or iot line; that the
proposal was similar to fourplexes9 but allowed for ownership of two units rather than
the former fo;L, unitsy thus providing older persons with an apartment for themselves and
a little income property as welle
The Conmtission noted that the petitioner was asking five waivers, and sub3ect property
could be built within the R-3 requirements with the only waiver necessary being single-
story adjacent to R-A property to the westa
Mro Edelson noted that a less desirable development could be presented~ however, the
waiver of only 5% of the lot width seemed a lesser of the two undesirable problemse
The Commission further noted that the proposed development could have a number of children
since the larger apartments had three bedrooms, and the petitioner was providing only
10-foot yards for children to play.
Mro Edelson further noted that they would prefer developing subject property with a 60%
coveragey th.at even if they:redesign the yards- the percentage wculd still remain the same;
and that the tops of the garages would be used as a sun deck.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald ?hompson noted that the plans submitted xere concept pla~,s and
were not to scalee `

Mre Edelson, in response to Commission questioning, stated that they were unable to comply ~
with the R-3 standards because they were surrounded by trailer parks on three sides; that
a standard R-3 map was submitted - however, the staff indiceted more circulation was needed
with the stub street to the westy peripheral alleys, and a standard street down the center, ;
and if a1L these were designed into this subdivision, and still provide standard lot widths4
three lots would be lost - or a total of $45,000; and that complying with Code requirements
would be economically unfeasible.

-•The Commicaion chairman noted:that~•a11-R=3 development was required
to provide adequate circulation and recreation areas ahd the amount
of land proposed for this circulation was small in comparison to the
10-acre parcel proposed for development.
REVISION NOo 7
~~(Continued Further discussion was then held between the Co~mnission and the agent
for the petitioner regarding circulation, compliance with R-3 require-
ments, and the percentage of coveragee ,
The agent then inquired of the Commission what they would suggest should be done with the
" pxoperty to develop it so that it would be economically feas.',.ble; whereupon the Commission
j~...
:~~•:~. advised Mre Edelson that they were not opposed to R-3 development~ but it was up to the
~?~~~',.~,,' petitioner to solve this problem as to economics since this was not within the 3urisdiction
:~~~ of the Commission, and that if any change in plans was proposed, consideration should be
~' 1~~ given to a maximum of 55~ coverage, and the size of the lot was less than that required
for the R-2 Zo~e, wheiein 2400 square feet was required for each apartment.
Mr. Thompson noted that the difference between the R-2 and the R-3 was 45~ coverage for
R-2 and 55~ for R-3 on a lot 7200 square feete
Mr, Edelson noted they could have developed the propexty with six units, but were i.nteresi:ed
in fourplexes, with the possibility of having lot.sp3it's.
The Commission noted that six units could not be built.on a 66 by 113-foot lot since eig!nt
9arages or carports would be required, and 7200 square feet was somewhat limited - even
though the minimum requirement~.
Chairman Camp noted that he was not opposed to a lot split; however, if this were to happen-
then the development should be in accordance with the R-2 Zone.
Mre Edelson noted that they were desirous of providing duplexes, and he had planned to
supply the better feature~ of the requirements of a condominiumf however, duplexes would
afford the small home investor with his own home~ as well as a small unit for income
purposes, and this might be a new concept for development of narrow, deep lots in the
City of Anaheime ~ '
The Commission noted that,the proposed type of development had been discussed by the
Commission since other cities had similar types of development; however' this was accom-
plished through a special zoning action.
Mr. Edelson then noted this would require them to ~tay within the limits of the R-3 Zoneo
The Commission then noted that the petitioner could use standard R-3 lots and apply the
theory of lot split so that adequate open space could be afforded each duplex since the
concept proposed would offer an alternative to regular R-3 subdivision development.
by retaining the required setbacke of the zone.
Mra Edelson then advised the Commission that they could submit revised subdivision maps
which incorporated the 70-foot lots and the 55% coverage.
Assistant Development Services Director Robert Mickelson noted that one waiver had not
been discussed, and that was the one-story height limitation along the westerly boundary.
Mro Thompson advised the Commission that if revised plans were submitted, they should be
in the department by Friday,noon, December 8, 1967.
Mrse Beth Lancaster, 235 South Beach Boulevard, owner of the mobile home park to the south
and east.of sub3ect property, appeared in~opposition, requesting clarification of t'r,e
proposed drainage on subject property since she had 21 trailer spaces ad~acent to subject
property; that she had sold a dra.inage easement four years ago to Mre Abandan~"o, former
owner of subject property, and she could not understand why the drainage ease~nent had not
been taken care of at the time the easement was obtained; that the easement sold was for
underground drainage, and the trailer spaces now had landscaping over this easement -
therefore, great care xould have to be exercised when construction of the drainage facility
atarted;•end~that she was opposed to a substandard lot of 32 feei: as being proposed under
the variance.
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Commission that Mr. Abandad~o had acquired the
drainage easement at the time the original tract map had been submitted for consideration,
and the City`s intent at that time was to requixe drainage by discharge into the Flood
Control channel south of the Lancaster property; that Mr. AbandanQ6 was required to provide ,
this drainage easement - however, ihe City was not desirous of acquiring the easement until
a map was rec~rded; and that the original Tract No. 4230 was filed approximately four to
five years ago.

lilrso Ae We Pfeiis 3064 West Lincoln Avenue, appeared before the Commission in opposition, ; .
t steting her property was contiguous to subJect property to the west and inquired whether i '
~,;~. or not two-story would be approved on her property if eubject~petition were approved, ;iy:
'~~,,_ g.ranting waiver of the one-story height limitation,sinae they'wou3d be penalized by requir-
'~~, f;
~ ing single~-story while sub~ect property could d~velop with two-story. Furthermore, there
~ was no intent to develop their property for trailer park purposes as t~e agent had indicated
. ~
` t i
The Gommission advised Mrs. Pfeil that they would be.required only to maintain one-story
with3n 150 feet of the R-1 to the west, while subject property was nowhere near R-1, but
ad3acent to undeveloped R-A property, and the Pfeii property would be required only to
have one tier of lots maintained at one-story, and the balance could be developed for
two-story~ however, if the Pfeil property were developed for R-1, sub~ect property would
have to comply with the one-story requi:emente ~
Mrse Pfeil noted that subject property had been under eonsideration for almost five years,
and each time a public hearing had been held, she'hed•been in attendance; that she had
talked with Mr> Frye regarding future development several months ago since she and her
husband were planning to put their property up for sal•e; and that she was desirous of
requiring the stub street to provide alternative circulation.for their property as well
as subject pxopertyy which would take caze of the many.children living in the tract •- to
keep them off Lincoln Avenue while they were going to schoolo
Commissioner F2erbst was of the opinion that land assembly of sub3ect property and the
°feil property would previde for a better development`than if two narrow parcels developed
individuallye
Mrse Pfeii again expressed hez desire to haye some considerat3on given to them regarding
the height lim3tatione
Tne Commission noted that Code requirements only atipulated maintenance of one•-btory u~ithin
i50 feet of residential zonesg howeverg the R-A Zone, where vacant, was only an interim
zone ~ therefoxe~ one-story waiver was usualiy a form3'lity, but this was not so where
ad~acent to R••19 and the Commission had always maintained one-story height for 150 feet
ad3acent to R-1; snd that the Pfeil property had a dffferent problem than sub3ect property
in that they were ad~aceni to single-fam.ily homese
Mre Edeison, in rebuttaZ, noted that not only were they the lenders, but builders, of the
proposed development, and loans made would have to be lived with approximately 30 years -
therefore, they had to be very careful of what should be developed on subject propertya
M:so Lancaster inquired why such a heavy density was proposed since this wovld bring
considerably more children :nto the area, and the trailer park would be sub~ected to
children climbing over the fencee
Mro AD W, Pfeil appeared before the Commission and stated he concurred with the statements
made by his wife in that he felt they should not be penalized in the development of their
property, and wanted some assurance that if the height.limitation were granted subject
property, they would be afforded the same waivere Furthermore, the petitioner proposed a
269~foot depth for commercial property, which was not in conformance with the depth of
other commercial development in the area, and it should be at least 250 feet since this
might create 3 problem if the ?feil property were developed with a deeper commercial lot
than sub~ect property was proposed.
The Commission assured Mre Pfeil that there would be no problem~
Commissiones F!erbst offered a motion to continue Petitions for Variance Nose 1926 and 1925,
together with Tentative Maps of Tract No. 42309 Revision Noo 7 and Revision No„ 8, to the

uses established in close proximity, and further noted tha~ the petitioner was requesting
~an additional sign within 300 feet of another sign, said sign.now being noaconforming on
the property; that the petitioner was proposing to.locate t~e "EeStlWestern'?~six~niwia~hin

the main rign, there would be no need for the variance request. Fuxtk~ermore, the Commission
might he desirous of discussing relocation of the Bect Western.sSgn with the petitionere
Mro William Owen, representing the agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission '
and stated that in addition to the proposed sign, the petitionQS had spent approximately
$250,000 to remodel the motel facility e~hithiie located across tha street from Disneyland,
an excellent location; that the proposed sign would revolve very slowly; that the proposed
sign would be an attempt to start an improvement of the sign problem along Harbor Boulevard;
that the motel motif was Middle Eastern and was alao carried out in the sign - therefore, it
was impossible to incorporate the Best Western sign into the proposed new sign because it
was esthetically impossiblee ;
Commissioner Farano inquired as to +.i-e reader board, noting that he felt a~changeable message
would be too distractir~g to the motorist; whereupon Mr. Owen replied that this changeable
copy would be done manually and would not be changing as the motorist passed by.
Mre Owen then noted that by erecting the propased sign the present cluttered look would be
removed, with all tacked-on signs being incorporated into the reader boarde
Commissioner Gauer noted thst because of the number of, and decign of signs, the entire
Harbor Boulevard area was too cluttered to distinguich one sign from another, and something
should be done to give proper identification to all properties without requeating and approv-
ing s.ign variances at greater heights than the Sign Ordinance permitted.
'#
~
' Mr., Owen ad~ised the Commissian that the reason they were requesting the 50-foot sign was ~
to beam the si
n to
d th
{ g
war
e Santa Ana Freeway, and they Nould attempt to relocate the Best
Western aign to the base of th
' e pylon. Furthermore, the AAA eign would be incorporated as
part of the reader board; therefore, only two signs would be on cub3ect
t
,~
~` proper
ys the
proposed pylon sign with reader board and the Hest Western sign. However
in order t
~ ,
o
merit the Best Western sign, it must be separate.:from the regular sign, and he ivould~.at~tempt
to work thi
t
s ou
later.
Mre Owen also noted that if the pylon sign were approved, there would be other motels coming
in with a more integrated si
n
d th
t
g
, an
a
maybe the cluttered appearance would be cleared up.
' Mr. Kenneth Kimes, the petitioner, appeared before the Cqmmission and noted they were
desirous of retaining the Be
t Yl
r s
eFtern sign since they would derive a good portion of their
income from referralss however, the Best Western people~did not
ermit a
ll
i
p
sma
er s
gn, and
there was always the chance the franchise would be taken away - therefore
it would not b
ti. ,
e
a good idea to have it a part of the permanent sign.
t°
~ ~ Chairman Camp noted that the Anaheim Municipal Code did not permit the proposed sign, and
perhaps if the Best We
t
~ s
ern people were aware of the sign requirements within the City of
Anaheim, they might be able to compromise in order that th
i
t,r,,.

Discussion was then held by the Commission as to the requested waivers, noting that the
Best Western sign could be relocated to the base of the pylon, thus'centra:izing all signs
on this propertye Furthermore, the staff should direct a letter to the Best Western peopie
in behalf of the Commission,:inviting them to contact the staff regarding the City`s Sign
Ordinance as it applied to their standard signse '
Mro Mickelson noted that the new pylon sign itself did~not rcquire ~ommission action, but
because the petitioner was desirous of retaining the Best Western sign, this made the
variance necessary.
Mro Kimes noted that if the Comm:ssion approved the new sign and retained the Best Western
sign as a nonconforming sign, there was a possibility~that the franchise could be lost for
the Best Western sign in the next few years.
Commissioner Gauer offered Resolution No> PC67-260 and moved for its passage and adoption,

Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed the proposal of the City Council, which was
initiated at their meeting on October 31, 1967, based~:on the:fact that numerous requests
had been received, and some approved, for deletion or addition of certain permitted uses
under Reclassification Noe 89-60-94, and that because of the fact that commercial trends
had been established along State College Boulevard to•the;;north of sub3ect property, the
proposed deletion would be compatible - however, the reclassification fees were paid by
- the property owners involved.

'" Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed the location of subjeat property, noting that
~ .,`'' the proposed C-1 Zone was initiated by the City Council in conjunction with the properties
; along State College Boulevard; that the use of the property had been for a church and day
school, and it was now proposed to permit the full range of C-1 uses. The land uses to
~~~- the north, riest, and south, as well as to the east, were also reviewele
~~.
~~'' -~ Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that the four lots fronting on
the north side of South Street were reviewed by the Commission in their Front-On Study
as being potential for commercial re-usee
~
Mrso Ann Madison' representing the property owner, appeared before the Commission and
stated that the church was in favor of the proposal of the Council to rezone sub3ect
property to the C-1 uses since this was more appropriate than a school; however, they
were desirous of maintaining the uses established under Conditional Use Permit Noso753
and 693 until their expiration in June and September, 19664 that there waP :~ nossibility
a motel might be built on the property, oP an extension of the restaurant~ and that the
church was desirous of seein9 the proper±y reclassified since the original church had
~~ now relocated, and the Council had de ,:i! continued use of the property for school purposes
`'+ after June, 1968,
Mro Thompson noted that the conditional use permits would still be in effect until they
~ exp`-redy even if a new zone were established, and the property owners would have to comply
with all conditions of the resolution of intent before an ordinance would be read to ~e-
~} classify the property to •the C-1 Zone, and that if it was their intent to use the existing
~ structure for commercial uses, there were certain site development standards written in
" the Code to provide for thiso
S [~
, Mrso Madison advised the Commission that the church did have platts For the property and
~;~;;,;,;.;; wanted to develop as soon as possibleo
Mro Roy Nleglandy. representing the pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, appeared before
the Comtnission and stated the reasan the church was conforming with the recommendations
of the City Council was the fact that they were in the process of building a new church
on Wagner Avenue, and when it was completed, there would be•no longer any need fos the
present church for church services; that at the public hearing of the Commission several
meetings ago, discussion was held regarding the commercial potential for,.the properties
on the north side of South Street, immediately opposite the church property, and the C-1
proposal was doing the church a favor in that additional revenue could be obtained by
developing the property for commercial purposeso
Mrso Robert Mathison, 1915 East South Street, appeared befiore the Commission and stated
she was one of the owners of the four homes on the north side of South Street; that.they
were single,-fartiilyi~esidences with'four.ctsildren in a't least two of ~he homes; that she
was aware the church wes attempting to dispose of the property and she was not opposed to
C-1 zoning, but ~vas concerned a,s to the type of commercial use for the propertys and that
since there ~vere two convenience markets a:rearjy in the area within onQ block9 which did
not improve the neighborhood since they provided a hangout for teenage children, this was
one of her basic concerns> Mrsa Mathison also noted she had discussed the variety of
uses with the staff in expressing her concerne
~` Commissioner Farano indicated that there were 36 uses permitted in the C-1 Zone; whereupon
~^ Mrse Mathison stated that no control could be exercised as to the type of development, and
~ since it was their intent to reside in their homes for a number of years, they were con-
' cerned undesirable commercial uses would affect the residential environment of their homes,
;,,> _ and some consideration should be given to them by the City.
~;':: ` ;

Mrso Mathison further noted that the church and the school presently existing on sub~ect
property were good uses for the area since they were operating during the same hours as
other schools, and there was no unueual noise or change in traffic pattern, and that there
--*~ were no evening uaea~ however, ahe was concerned that commercial uses might have all hours

REGLASSIFICqTION - Mrbe Madison noted that she could not assure the property owners in
N0~¢,~_C~8~39y~ the area that a convenience market would not;be.located there;.however, good
_ (Gontinued) business logic would not warrant another convenience market within
- a block of the existing markets, and it seemed that others than the
property owners had more control as to the types of uses for sub,ject
property.since the parcel was larger than the average R-1 lot, and the properties along
State College Boulevard were already permitted C~1 with regular G1 usese
Mro Wegland,; again appeared and said the church was not planning an undesirable facility
which would encourage yaung people to frequent the place; however, he was unable to reveal
at this.time what was proposed for the property, but it would be complimentary to the area,
and the traffic involved would be only for morning and evening hours, and he felt the plans
,,y~ might be available in time for the Council to consider themo
~~ " Discussion was held by the Commission relative to deferring any consideration of sub3ect
~~ petition until the petitioner was able to submit plans to the Commission; whereupon
bir, Wegland.: noted that the City Council had stat~d that if the reclassification fee was
~,> paid by the property owner$, the property owners would receive the benefit of the City
k; Council action, and it seemed advisable to go along with the recommendation since the
~; oxfginal proposal for a Christian day school was not approved by the Council - the reclassi-
_ £ication to commercial uses would be offering some financial relief for the church in.taking
~ care of their new church facilitye
Mre Wegl~and,. in response to questioning by Assistant Development Services Director Robert
~ Mickelsony ztated he was not sure the proposed use would be within the limits of the C-1
' Zone since he had not read the C-1 ordinance.
~. .
,~ Mrso Mathison then said she would •object. ta blanket approval of G1 uses since there
:; wauid be no recourse by the property owners in the area to an undesirable use ad~acent
~ a;
_ , to residentiale
The Commission was of the opinion that six homes would be basically affected by a blanket
C~1 use for sub,~ect property:~ four homes on the north side of the street and two homes
immediately adjacent to sub~ect property to the west, and if commercial uses were approved
without some form of restrictions, this would affect the residentiai integrity of these
homes9 since these single-family residences had expended their money in maintaining their
homee and had expressed desire to reside in them for an indefinite time - therefore, some
prote~tion should be given these property ownerse
THE HEq~,INCs WAS CLOSED~
Commissioner Herbst offered a motion to deny Petition for Reclassification Noe 67-68-35,
seconded by Cemmissioner Allred, on the basis that unrestricted C-1 uses for sub~ect property
would have a:deleterious effect on the residential integrity of the area since the property
owners on the north side of the street had indicated their desire to retain their properties
for reaidential purposes.
On roll call the foregoing motion was passed unanimously, with Commissioner Farano indicat-
ing he would like to have the Minutes show that the City Council ~ake::whatever action they
could to preserve the right of the church in not having to pay another fee for reclassi-
fication proceedings, and that the denial was not based on disapproval of commercial uses
except for the specific uses since the ::-1 Zone did permit heavier uses that were incompati-
ble with the residential uses to the n.r,rth and west.
After further discussion relative to the denial, and the possibility of continuing subJect
petition for ninety days to allow time for the submission of development plans for the
propertyg Commissioner Farano offered a motion to rescind the previous motion, seconded by
Commissioner Gauer, and reopen the hearing and continue Reclassificatfon No. 67-68-35 to
the meeting of February 26, 1968, directing the staff to notify all property owners in the
immediate area that subject petition would be considered at that time, and directed the
property owners of sub3ect property to submit development plans prior to the public hearing.

ZONE to the C-ls GENERAL OOMMERCIAi.9 ZONE9 to permit the developmeni: of a commercial
office complex, similar in design to the structure immediately ad~acent to the north<
Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed sub3ect petitionr the location of the property
and uses established in close proximityy noting that the petitioner proposed to have mutual
access through a 25-foot drive to the north; that the agent'for the petitioner indicated he
would be owning subject property since he already owned that to the north, which was devel-
oped for a commercial office comF?.ex; and that if sub~ect property would not ;~e under the
same ownership as the property to the north, it would be necessary to have a;nutual parking
easement recorded with the County to Orange to assure continuous access to sub~ect property.
Mre David Hook, 1786 West Lincoln Avenue, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the
Commission and stated he was interested in acquiring sub3ect property since he already
owned the property to the north, and the proposed development would round out plans for
office buildings in this area, and that he was available to answer questionse
Mro Hook, in response to Commission questioning relative to the setback of the proposed
structure being considerably further toward the street than the buildings to the south,
stated that from an esthetic standpoint, they were interested in controlling the environ-
ment of the area by setting it back the proposed distance, which wouid eliminate any out-
side influences that it was their desire to have more landscape instead of a sea of asphalt -
therefore, they were proposing their parking to the rear of the property ad3acent to the
golf course; that the animal hospital was located 65 feet from the street - however, his
clients would not care to have a view of the street, and since the animal hospital was a
service facility, the existin9 sign was adequate to advertise to prospective clients d:iving
on the street, for identification of the facility; and that he was offering a controlled
environment with a softened appearance to the ex3sting building for the commercial facility
he was proposinge Also, most of the adjoining commercial facility was set back 30 feet
from the property line.f furthermore, many people preferred to park as soon as they left
the street, so some parkin9 could be provided in the front setback as well as to the rear.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the Commission that if they wanted uniform
setbacks, they must go in accor.dance with the ordinance which required a minimum 10-foot
setback,
Commissioner Farano inquired whether or not a problem would occur if the petitioner was
required to set back an additional 5 feet or so; whereupon, Mre Hook replied it would
completely destroy the parking proposed for the rear lot since the City was very strict
regardin9 parking requirements - howevez, he was heartily in favor of the restrictions as
set :orth by the commercial zone for parking purposes.
Commissioner Allred expressed the personal feeling that all parking should be to the rear
of a commercial structure and landscaping in the front; whereupon Mr, Roberts stated that
the C-1 Ordinance would have to be specific regarding the desires of the Commissione
The Commission further noted that property to the north was classified C-1, and the animal
hospital to the south was classified C-1 - therefore, the request for G1 Use was appropriate, ,
and site development standards of the zone required a minimum of 10 feet, and nothing could
be done regarding requiring the setback as was established to the southe
Dre Charles Hendricks, present owner of the animal hospital, appeared in opposition, stating
that he was opposed to any reclassification of subject property if no restrictions were '
established for the setback of the building since a 10-foot building setback would completely
hide his-facility from view of traffic passing southerly along Brookhurst Street and would
result-in a financial loss to him since a certain percentage of his business was derived
from people noting the location of the hospital as they were driving down the street; that
a 10-foot building setback x~ould create a traffic hazard with people driving down the street
trying to find the entra~nce to the parking area for the hospital; that the petitioner was
attempting to create his own atmosphere by tearing down the appearance of the hospital; that
the hospital was built while under the jurisdiction of the County, and they wese forced to
set back 65 feet due to existing residences in the area, and the present commercial zone
permitted a lesser setback than was established on the property to the south; that when
zoning was established on the property northerly of subject property, it was agreed that
the setback would be 50 to b0 iee•t, and a similar arrangement could be made for sub~ect •

Commissioner Mungall left the Council Chamber at 4:57 PeMo
~ Mro :~ohn Mazepa9 331 North Brookhurst Street, appeared before the Commission in opposition
~ and stated his motel was Iocated at the corner adjacent to the animal hospital, and if the
minimum 10-foot setback were allowed, this would be granting something the hospital and
the motel were not given at the time they developed their properties, since they were
required to set back a minimum of 50 feete
Dr, Hendricks further stated tnat Dre Metz had a simiZar restriction when he sold his
property for the motel, as well as the propexty now deveioped for a cortunercial office
buildinge
Mre Hook, the agent, ~tated that in the preZiminary title report the insurance policy did
not indicate that this restriction existed; however, hu felt that it had not been recorded,
and if this problem did exist, they would have to resolve it at a later date.
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised that when the owners had sold the property to
Dr. Hendricks, he had agreed to file these restrictions, and this covenant would run with
the use of the land.
Commissioner Mungall returned to the Council Chamber at 5:04 P.M.
Considerable discussion was then held by the Commission, Mr. Roberts, the staff, and Mre Hook
regarding the deed restrictions relative to setback, and at its:conclusion, the Commission
was of the opinien this was a private matter, and action should not be taken by the Commission '
but should be settled between Dra h1etz and Dr, hendricks.
Commissioner Farano inquired whether or not the Commission could require setbacks other than
were established in the C-1 Zone; whereupon Mr, Roberts advised Mr, Farano that the theory
of zoning re9ulations required that its implem..ntation should be uniform for all properties 1
being classified to a specific zone<
After further discussion by the Commission, Commissioner Herbst was of the opinion that since
the City had established an ordinance with specific site development standards requiring
specific setbacks, any private setback agreement would have to be resolved by parties

Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed the location of subject property, the existing
zoning, and the proposed use of the property, noting that the property was mainly vacant
and noting that the variance request was for the building and structural height limitation
on the original plans; however, because revised plans had been submitted by the petitioner,
this waiver was no longer necessary, and that the yards and setback waiver pertained to a
3-foot landscape strip repuired adjacent to Berry Avenue, while a 6-foot masonry wall was
proposed along that areao
Mre Roberts further noted ihat in conjunction with a reclassification to the C-0 Zone in
1964, the City Council approved Area Development Plan Noe 8, Exhibit "B", as being one
reasonable and possible method of development of the area in question; said exhibit suggested
the extension of the existing alley in such a manner that it woulri ~e continuous from Iris

property9 which woald be the rtaxt item on the agenda9 and that the petitioner was proposing
devel.opment for the easterly 100 feet of sub,ject pzoperty at this time for a dental clinic,
and tentative plans indicated a medical center on the remainder of the p:operty for future
developmente Furthermore, the ailey proposed under the area development plan would be on
the easterly boundary of subject property, aligning with the present accessway proposed
around the periphery of the properiy9 and that the intent of the plan was not to have a
specific location, but an ailey in the general location of the exhibito
Commissioner Herbst returned to the Council Chambex at 5:23 PeMe
Mrso Ann Madison9 representing the owner of the property and the developer, appeared before
the Commission and stated that the extension of the alley as depicted in Area Development
Plan Noo 8~ even if relocated, would not be desirable since it would provide circulation
for the property •to the east and not the petitioner; furthermore, if this dedication were
granted, this would reduce the size of the property to 17,OOOt square feet, while the C-0
Zone required 20,000 square feet as a minimum site size, and that parking facilities would
be Iost, as well as the proposed free flow of traffice
Mrso Madison continuedy stating that not only was the petitioner required to dedicate and
imorove the property, he was being penalized by poor planning of the original developer of
the tract, and the cost should be borne by the ad~oining property owner; that her clients
had assembled these parcels over a period of years and now were planning to develop it to
its highest and best useo A picture of a similar development in Los Angeles was presented -
however, i;he one proposed would be one-story, and requested that the Commission consider
granting :.ubject petition withoui requiring additional dedication since the proposed devel-
opment wo~,ld be a greater asset to the areay with the first phase being proposed at this
time for the easterly IOO feet oi the propertye
Commissioner Herbst inquired whether or not the development could be made w~.thout the use of
the Bezry Avenue portion since the petitioner was asking for commercial use facing the R-1
home on the south side of Berry Avenue, and noted that the petitioner was asking for moxe
than the properties to the east could be granted since they were only backing onto an alley
of the R-1; furthermoxe, the developers of the tract had been Tequired to dedicate and ;.
develop the ailey, ~

VARIA~CE NO„ 1927
(Continued) Commissioner Farano expressed the_opinion that.a masonry wall did
not solve the problem of commercial uses ad3acent to R-le
Zoning Supervisor Ronaid Thompson noted that those properties fronting along Ball Road
covered by C-0 zoning did not normally require a wall because they were projected to be
similarly zoned on.the General Plan; however, the G-0 Zone did require a separation with
an alley unless the property was surrounded by a public street, and that access needed
to Bail Road would not permit indiscriminate curb cuts along said street - therefore,
the properties to the east had to provide their parking to the rear of the properties
and utilize the alley for said parking entranceo Further, that the alley originally
proposed would bisect subject property on its return to Ball Road - however, after the
staff re4iewed the development plans, it was decided that the exact location of the slley
was not feasible, and the proposed relocation on the easterly property line was more
appropriatee
The Comnission discussed the possibility of requiring the alley to go northerlyy and
whethex or not it should be a pubiic alley or a pri.vate accesso
Office Engineer Arthur Daw advised the Comrtcission that with other properties C•-0 zonedy
the City would require dedication of vehicular access rights to Ball Road, and this was
also asked of sub3ect property except for the a11ey and the westerly 40 feet of the property,
which would allow them a drive on their west side.
Mrse Madison was of the opinion that subject property could not be classified in the same ~
catego:y as those properties to the east; that the City zoned subject property R-1 - '=
howe.__, the setup was not the same, and to disallow access rights wouid work a hardship '"~
on tuc developer if access to Ball Road were not granted~ except for the alleye %;;'~3~;

; : i;f
Considerable discussion was then held by the Commission and the staff regarding the circu- ::~:~
lation pattern and the alley as depicted on the exhibit and as proposed on subject plans9 -~i
Mro Thompson noting that in considering Parcels 70 and 71',,they would request access = ``%;
therefore, the Traffic Engineer felt that controlled access ehould`be required along the -
westerly portion of subject property~
Assistant Development Services Director Robert Mickelson noted that some consideration
should be given to reviewing the traffic control problems along many front-on situations, ~`
and one of the ma~or concerns of the Traffic Engineer aTlowing curb cuts was it disrupted
the traffic flow on a heavily traveled.street if too many curb cuts were permittede
Mro Daw noted that Harbor Boulevard permitted certain access points where no dedication
had been obtained, since the City could not request dedication where all the properties
were planned for residential uses until the property owners determined whether or not
they were desirous of havin9 a more intense use for their properties, and at such time,
dedication would be required - as weil as dedication of access rights,since they would
be required to take their access to the properties from the alleya
Cortunissioner Gauer noted that tne proposal was an acceptable one if no ingress on the
alley were permitted - this would reduce the amount of use for the alley, and that many
public alleys in the city had signs which permitted one-way traffic onlye
Mr. Daw noted that alleys so restricted in the City of Anaheim could not provide for
two-way traffic because they were not the present minimum width of 20 feet, and the alleys
backing on the Harbor Boulevard frontage properties were less than 20 feet, and no addi-
tional dedication was obtained.
Mrse Madison noted the petitioner was anxious to have ingress to his property without the
use of an alley.
bAre Daw noted that the only reason for xeserving the_westerly 40 feet was to allow the
petitioner to have some leeway in the location of his driveway; however, the maximum
width would be-30 feete
I'he Commission noted that indiscriminate curb cuts might disrupt the traffic flow on Ball
Road, already a heavily traveled street, and since the property to the west would also
request access to Ball Road, this might create a traffic hazard where too many curb cuts
in a small space were permittede

RECLASSIFICATION - Mrs. Madison noted that the petitioner wanted a free flow traffic
:NO_ 67-68-39 drive and wanted a buffer between the tenant and the medical center.
VARIANCE.NO. 1927_ The Commission then noted that the.petitioner was requesting a comme_cial
(Continued) use. but did not want to pay in the ioxm of dedication for the commercial
use since a commercially zorted property always netted the property owner
a considerably higher price than ;ingle-family zoned property, and there
wes no reason to accentuate the problem.of circulatiun>
Chairman Camp inquired of Mr..Daw whether or not the Interdepartmental Committee recommended
the alley`location as shown on the overlay of the area development plan and the westerly
40 feet, with access rights for,the balance of the lots to Ball Road being given to the Citye
Mro Daw replied in the affirmative and stated that from comments made by Mrs. Madison, it
was their intent to develop the easterly portion of the property at this time, and because
of this statement, the Interdepartmental Committee thought possibly the alley could be
extended westerly to the westerly boundary of the first lot.
The Commission then inquired how it was possible to develop the easterly lot and provide
access to the westerly portion.
Mre Michelson noted that the easterly portion would have access through the proposed alley,
and the westerly portion through the 40-foot accessway.
Chairman Camp then offered the opinion that a better solution to the circulation for subject
property could be made, and a delay of two weeks was in order-in order to permit the peti-
tioner to meet with the staff and the Traffic Engineer to resolve these problems, and that
there was no question that the alley would be required as indicated on the area development
plane
Commissioner Herbst offered a motion to continue Reclassification No. 67-68-39 and Variance
No. 1927 to the meeting of December 18, 1967, in order to allow time for the petitioner and
the staff to resolve access problems. Commissioner Gauer seconded the motion. MOTION

Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson noted that since both Reclassification Noa. 67-68-39 and
67-68-33 were dependent upon each other, subject petition should be continued. Mr. Thompson
also noted that since the previous petition was proposing to extend to Berry Avenue, that
perhaps the Commission would prefer to readvertise Reclassification No. 67-68-33 to include
#.he corner lot along Palm Street and Berry Avenue.
Mr. George Rose, owning property at Claremont Avenue and Bai1 Road, appeared before the
Commission and inquired whether or not the alley would extend through his property since
he owned the R-A parcels unaer consideration, and asked if this requirement could be waived.
Assistant Development Services Director Robert Mickelson noted that the Interdepartmental
Committee should discuss this series of lots where they would not develop within 180 days.
Mra Rose noted that he had the same problem as the Hartman property, with the alley proposed '
through the center of his property, and if he had a developer who was desirous of developing
only one portion, then would he be required to pay for both improvements.
Mre Mickelson noted that the petii;ion had been initiated by the Commission, and if other
properties that were contiguous to ~the Ball Road properties were desirous of having other
zoning, this could be done through submission of reclassificati.on petitions.
Mr. Rose also inquirad whether or not the cuxbs and gutters would have to be repaired.
Mr. Daw then replied that the curbs and gutters were already existing, and relocation would
be at the expense of ~l:a City. :
Commissioner Farano offered a motion to continue Petition.for Reclassification No. 67-68-33

PERMIT NO., 981 Owner; requesting permission to ESTABLISH.A.TEMPORARY DAY SCEb~OL FOR
W~NTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN IN AN EXI8TING RESIDENCE on property described
as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land having a frontage of approxi-
mately 72 feet on the south side of Broadway and a maximum depth of approxi.mately 107 feet,
the westerly boundary of subject property being approximately 246 feet east of the center-
line of Agate Street' and further described as 1928 West Broadway. Property presently
classified R-I, ONE~FAMILY RESIDcNTIAL, ZONE.
Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed sub~ect petition, the location of subject property
and uses established in close proximity, noting that the petitioner was proposing maximum
use of the permit for approximately one year, and that there would be no structural changes
made to the existing residence. •
Commissioner Mungall returned to the Council Chamber at 7:45 P.M.
Mrs. Ann Geckler, the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated that there seemed
to be a misunderstanding-that she planned to tutor these children and was not proposing to
operate a school as such, but was planning to have a maximum of two children at one time for
tutoring; that many teachers she knew did not bother applying for a use permit for the type
of work she was doing - however, her family had advised her this was necessary in the City
of Anaheim; and that the proposed tutoring of these children was not a business proposition
but was her attempt to aid mentally retarded children..
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberis advised the petitioner that although she did not plan to
have a school in the broader sense, the proposed type of use was considered a school by the
Anaheim Municipal Code. _
Mrso Geckler; in re:ponse to Commission questioning, stated that she planned to tutor these
children to read and write, scheduling them for certain hours of the day; that no permit was
required to teach these children; and that she would pick up the children and return them
after each teaching session,
Mrn Jack Ruth, 1917 West Elm Place, appeared in opposition, stating that he was not opposed
to tutoring these children; however, the use might establish a precedent and open up the
area along Broadway for commercial uses.
Mrse Cleo Mattas, 1940 West Broadway, appeared before the Commission and stated that the
City of Anaheim School Districi provided special training for mentally retarded children,
and if the petitioner pnoposed to teach children who were classified Point 1, they would
be eiigible for elementary school special courses, and that the area in which the petitioner
was proposing to train these children was basically residential, and the use was not desirablee
Mre Ed Seufer, I922 West Broadway, appeared before the Commission in opposition and stated
that he was concerned that the proposed type of use might be.an entering wedge for other
more intense uses for the residential area, and Broadway would take on the appeaxance of
North Brookhurst Street; that he had purchased his home with,the intention of living there
for a long time, and that all otiher residents in the area felt the same way about their
homes; and that they wanted to retain their residential integrity.
Mre Alexander Wood, 1934 West Broadway, appeared before the Commission in opposition, stating
he had a petition signed by 15 property owners also in opposition, noting there were adequate
facilities in properly zoned areas within a few blocks of sub~ect property to meet the needs
of the petitionerr and the proposed use would be an infringement and encroachment into the
residential integrity of the areao '
A show~.ng of hands indicated 8 persons were present in opposition.
The petitioner indicated there would be no rebuttal to the opposition.
TI'E 1~ARING WAS CIASED ~
Mrse Geckler, in response to Commission questioning, noted she would be teaching Point 2
chiidren, and she would relocate the school in a more centrally located area so that she
would be able to assist these children, and that during the past yeax• she had proven

(Cantinued)
The Commission then inq_uired whether or not the proposed use could
be authorized without being considered a school or could it.be
considered a home occupation.
Mre Roberts stated that the use was proposed in a residential use, and could not be con-
sidered necessarily a secondary use since the home occupation regulation stated that no
commodity or service could be rendered-while the school was considered as rendering a
service 'to children at th±s location. However, it was appropriate for a conditional use
permit to be considered for the propose3 usee
Commissioner Herbst offered Resolution No. PC67-264 and moved for its passage and adoptiony
seconded by Commissioner Allred, to deny Petitfon for Conditional Use Permit Noe 981 on
the rasis that the proposed use was not properly one for the area since it would adversely
affect the ad~oining land uses and might set an undesirable precedent for injectton of
commercial uses in a primarily residential areao (See Reso]ution Book)

Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed subject petition, the location of the property9
and the uses established in close proximity, notin9 that the zoning was accomplished under
Reclassification Noe 60-61-669 and that a conditional use permit had been approved in
February, 1963, establishing a hofbrau with on-sale beer and winea However9 pxevious to
this, a conditional use permit was deniec? by both the Commission and City Council for a
cocktail lounge~
Mr. Harry Knisely, representing the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated
that after seviewing the plot plans, he had instructed the petitioner to make certain
changes and submitted the revised plans the morning of the meeting; that the primary change
was that the dining area had a divider screen so that families could be served without
being disturbed by anything that occurred at the bar; and that the overflow dining area to
the rear was also screenede
The Commission inquired of the staff whether or not they had xeviewed the revised plans,
whereupon Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson noted that the plans had been reviewed ~ust
prior to the meeting this afternoon; that in their original computation, the refrigerator
had not been included, and with this included, there wae approximately 15~ to 16% of the
total square footage devoted to food preparatione
Mr. Knisely then noted that the food preparation area would be adequate since the proposed
dining facilities would be for steak and lobster, ar.d he had asked owners of similar
operations how much space was necessary for the food preparation for a steak and lobster
house, and he had been informed that only one-third of the required space was necessarye
Furthermore, the companies who in~,tall the fixtures for this type of operation were of
the opinion the square footage for food preparation was dependent upon the type of service
and varied menu that was being ofiered, and if a limited menu was offered, less space was
needede

cated in the Report to the Commission; namely, that sub~ect property

1 City of Orange, the street would be a highly traveled streete ~
i;_ Colored slidzs of the flr.or plans and elevations proposed for the subdivision were presented 1
~' ", by Mr, Tancredi, noting that these were being developed in the City of Cerritose
Upon completion of the showing of the exhibits, the Commission inquired a6 to the number of
~~ homes that would be proposed as was projected on the screen, whereupon Mr. Tancredi stated '
they had done a marketing test on the three and four bedroom - however, the two-story plan
was proposed only for certain larger than 5000-square foot lots, and that the price range
~>~ would be between $24,000 and $27,500, based on the fact that they were considering factors
known to them at the present timee However, the prices mentioned did not include landscapino,~ •
masonry wall, or a pool, because it was found in most of their developments, the buyer could
improve his yard in any manner he desired, but if any prospective buyers were desirous of
having the developer improve their property, this could also be done for approximately $29000 ~
! to $3,000 more - which would include the landscaping and the masonry wall, thus increasing ;
_j` the value of the home to from $26,000 ±o ~30,000,
i '
~ Mra Ron F=rra11, 1118 East Evening Star.• Drivea appeared before the Commission in oopoeition '
j and stated his property backed up on t'ne west of subject property, and there were seven people;
' on the east side of Evening Star Drive whose homes all backed up to sub~ect property~ six of ~
' ~~ whom were present in the Council Chamber, and they were present to'attempt to learn what was `
F " being proposed since they were unfamiliar with the City's zoning code; that he would be oppose~~
j ~1 to two-story construction since ihey had a swimming pool in their rear yard and did not want ~
? '~ their privacy invaded by persons looking from a two-stoi-y window into the rear of these homes;{
~ that they were concerned with the high density adding additional traffic to Evening Star Drive~
'' at such time as Clifpark Way was extended through the proposed subdivision; that at the time
the R-3 development occurred to the south of the single-family tract in which he resided, they
were required to construct aingle-story, together with a masonry wall, and it was their
opinion that the one-story restriction ehould be adhered to as far as subject petition was
concerned, together with an additional masonry wello
;", .
Chairman Camp advised the opposition that the City of Anaheim's R-1 Code did not restrict
single-family homes to one story - this oniy occurred when the property was being developed
for multiple-family residential use in the R-3 Zone~ and then they were required to maintain
one story within 150 feet of an R-i Zone; however, the Commission•could not guarantee that
single-story ~onstruction would be developed adjacent to another single-story structure,
Mr. James Worthington, owner of property at 1168 Belhaven Drive, appeared before the Commis-
sion, noting that he had received two notices of public hearing and requested that they be
explained.
~;+ Chairman Camp then stated that in order to obtain the R-2-5000, it was necessary that the
~;,i Commission determine the area and subject property were suitable for multiple-family use
~ since the R-2-5000 Zone was written specifically for providing a lesser density in areas
` ' where medium density was recommended; however, the R-2-5000 permitted only a single-family
~ Y home on a 5000-square foot lot>

~`' ment where the Cit felt R-2 zonin was a

' ` property was just east of subject property'and inquired why one builder could develop his

,,.. ,:: and across the street someone was permitted to develop wit.h smaller lotso

high school and elementary school to the north of it, nor'did it have medium density and

was developed. ,

- In rebuttal, Mre Tancredi stated that a market survey they had conducted ~
indicated there was a definite shortage of homes within the price range ~
they were proposing, and to pro3ect 1500 to 1600-square foot houses would ~
not be feasible, based on the fact that they were unable to control land
prices, and the cost of the land would be prohibitive if the larger lots
were required, and that they were attempting to provide housing in the ~
City of Anaheim as cheaply as possible, and still be desirablee Further~ '~~
more, newspaper articles indicated that industries were suffering because •;~
the city could not provide these homes, and by permitting 5000-square foo ;]
lots, this permits the developer:to construct homes for people earning Between '~
$5;000 and $8,000 per year, and a reduction of the lot size was the only
method to reduce the price of a home, since the size of the lot was not ~~•y
important ~ it was vrhat was constructed on the lot that was more important "'"`,;

Mr. Ferrall a ain a . ~`~
g ppeared before the Commission and stated they had received notices regard- "'~
ing the public hearing but were not aware of what was being proposed; however, they had
contacted the agent for the petitionery Mrse Madison, relative to urging the developer to
retain one-story ad3acent to the single-family homes along the west boundary line and he
was hoping this would be accomp2ished at the public hearinge
Mrs> Ann Madison appeared before the Commission and st~ted she had mentioned Mro Ferrall`s
request to the developer; however, she had been at the public hearing all afternoon and had
just presen~ed the suggestion to t~e developer, but did not know what would be happeningo
However, the developer had advised her he might be able to eliminate one of the two-story
homes, but this would have to be worked out later to everyone's satisfactione
Commissioner Gauer noted that at a joint meeting with the Commission and City Council the '
idea was mentioned that the City of Anaheim needed more apartments, and the proposed develop- I
ment was one way of providing adequate housing and yet reducing the apartments for people
who could not afford the more expensive homes, since people who purchased homes improved
them and took an interest in the c:ty socially and politically, making them more desirable
because of their permanency, and that the proposed homes were acceptable in design, even
though the lots were smallere Furthermore, if multiple•-family development were being requested
there would be considerably more people opposed to that type of development; however, it was
difficult to know what to do with some of the acreages still vacant or being proposed for
development.
In response tor~, Worttiington's question, the Commission advised him that sub~ect property was
still within the jurisdiction of the County, but annexation proceedings had taken placeo
Mre Tancredi then indicated to the Commission the location of a model of what was propoaed
for subject propertyo
Mre Ferrall again appeared before the Commission and noted they were in agreement with the
statement made by Commissioner Gauer that R-1, 7200-square foot lots were ideal - however,
the main concern was the fact that two-story construction might be proposed for those lots
backin9 up to lots on the west side of subject property, and if the developer would ~ooperate
by eliminating this, there would be no opposition from the R-1 property owners.
Nlre Tancredi noted that only two homes were proposed along that property Iine, wfiich were
two-story, 1800-square feet; however, they would meet with the property owners to resolve
this problem. Furthermore, he would like to point out to the Commission that on the larger,
cul-de-sac lots, if two-story were to be constructed, they would attempt to provide screening
with trees, etc., to offset any undesirable intrusion of privacy to the R-l homeso
Mr. A1 Pevoto, 2206 Clifpark Way, appeared before the Commission and inquired whether or not
Clifpark Way would be opened up to Sunkist Street since he had two small children who were
used to having this street as a dead-end street.
The Commission advised Mre Pevoto that regardless of the type of development that would be
constructed on subject property, either R-2 or R-1, Clifpark Way would be opened up to provide
adequate circulation for that areae
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Allred offered Resolution No, PC67-266 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Gauer, to recommend to the City Council that Petition for Reclassi~

Mr. Thompson also noted that since the Commission had approved R-2-5000 for subject property,
they may wish to terminate Reclassification No. 67-68-37e
Assistant Development Services Director Robert Mickelson noted that termination of the R-2,
Multiple-Family Residential, Zone petition would leave the City Council without any evidence
that suh~ect property was deemed appropriate for low-medium density development, in order
that R-2-5000 could be developed, and the Commission should let the motion stand in order to
allow the City Council the prerogative to determine whether the petition should be terminated !
or request that the petitioner withdraw ito

RECOMMENDATIONS Street name change - Lincoln Avenue to Nohl Ranch Road east
of the Newport Freeway.
Associate Planner Charles Roberts presented the request of John De Lusk and Louis E, Nohl
for consideration by the City to rename Lincoln Avenue east of the Newport Freeway to
Nohl Ranch Road, noting that this request had been submitted to the City Council at their
August 8; 1967 meeting, at which time the City Council approved the name change request
subject to a similar approval by the City of Orange for the westerly portion of Lincoln
Avenue lying within their jurisdiction, and that the City Council had received a Resolution
Noe 2843 dated October 31, 1967, from the City of Orange which renamed that portion of
Lincoln Avenue lying within their jurisdiction to Nohl Ranch Road, and at the City Council
meeting this was was then referred back to the Planning Commission for a report.
Mra Roberts further noted that because considerable interest had been generated by the
proposed street name change, and the lasting effect that such a name change wuuld have,
the Commission might wish to consider setting this for public hearing in order that those
in favor and those in opposition could express their viewpoints.
Commissioner Herbst offered a motion to direct the Commission Secretary to set for public
hearing consideration of a street name change for Lincoln Avenue east of the Newport Freeway
to Noh1 Ranch Road, said public hearing to be considered January 3, 1968, as the first item
on the agenda.. Commissioner Allred seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed Orange County Use V3riance No. 5987, noting
the location of the property and the request to permit the establishment of a church in
an area designated for a conventional, single-family subdivision in the Planned Community
District. It was also noted that the Orange County Planning Commission on August 3, 1967,
had granted Orange County Use Variance No. 5767 to permit the establishment of a church;
however, no extensionsof time were requested - therefore the Commission had terminated this
variance, and that new development plans were now being submitted for the church facilitye

Parking requirements - Disneyland Area -
Waikiki Motel
Associate Planner Charles Roberts noted for the Commission that Mro Gordon Fisher, owner
of the Waikiki Motel,had submitted a letter to the Planning Commission dated October 27,
1967, indicating that he planned an expansion of his existing 60-ur.it facility to an 85-unit
facility, and further contempleted adding eating, drinking, meeting, and shopping facilities;
therefore, he felt the combined functions would classify his operation as a hotel rather
than a motel. Furthermore, he felt this category or reclassification was necessary to allow
not only the proposed expansion, but to make use of this highly valuable land to its highest
and best usea
Mro Raberts further reviewed all data assembled by the staff regarding the various hotel
facil'ities in the Disneyland area.- the number of units required and the number of units
provided, as well as the larger mntel facilities with the number of units required and the
number of units provided, it being noted that various managers had indicated that parking
was adequate, and the Disneyland Hotel, Charterhouse and Jolly Roger indicated parking was
critical sometimes; furthermore, the percentage of customers arriving by automobile was
between 6096 and 85~, while Mr. Fisher had indicated less than 50% of his customers arrived
by car. (Copy of the Development Services Department study made on parking available in
the department.)
After considerable discussion by tY.e Commission, noting the data submitted by the staff,
together with the many problems that have faced various facilities in the Commercial-
Recreation Area relative to parking, Commissioner Herbst offered a motion to deny the request
of Mre Gordon Fisher, owner of the Waikiki Motel, for a change in classification of his
facilities to a hotel since the parking problem in motel~hotel facilities was very critical -
therefore, the reduction as proposed to accommodate a new 25-unit addition should comply with
the motel requirements of one space per one unite Commissioner Mungall seconded the motione
MOTION CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT - There being no further business to discuss, Commissioner Herbst
offered a motion to adjourn the meetinge Commissioner Farano '
