STREET NAME CHAt~E - would be easy to locate because everyone.was familiar with the name
LINCOLN AVENUE TU of Lincoln Avenue, and none would know where Nohl Ranch Road was
NOHL RANCH ROAD located without constantly referring to a map - therefore, he urged
(Continued) the Commission to reta'.n the name of Lincoln Avenue since the street
had been known as that for some timea
Reverend Willard L„ Co:-adson, Pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, appeared in opposition
and reviewed many instances where changes in street names had created a particular hard-
'ship on attendance for church functions by other churches throughout Orange County, further
noting that the Trinity Lutheran Church had to host these various functions from time to
time, and easy identification with a known street name made it less likely that strangers
to the area would not be able to find their way, and that since the church already was
s~ established on the street, being the only property with a Lincoln Avenue address, he urged
~ the Commission to retain the street name of Lincoln Avenue.
Mr. Alan Jennings, 8291 Orange Acres 1?rive, Anaheim, appeared before the Commission, noting
he was president of the Peralta Hills Estates Improvement Association which was ad3acent
to the Nohl Ranch; that he would like to point out several factors not previously presented ~
namely, that it had been only a few years ago that the County had established a committee
which provided•a beneficial program to unify into one name all the different names assigned
to one street, said street having passed through several cities' jurisdictions; that the
assignment of one name was beneficial to both the new residents and visitors, and Lincoln
Avenue traversed several types oi development throughout the five jurisdictions within the
County of Orange; however, regardless of the action taken by the Commission, it was hoped
the Commission would establish, or recommend the establishment of, a policy to adopt the
actions taken by the Orange County Street Naming Committee who had been attempting to
eliminate duplicate names of streets having continuity through several jurisdictions into
one name, and such a policy would affect the entire City, thereby resolvi•ng a larger problem
than having identification for 5500 acres within the County.
Commissioner Gauer inquired of Mr. iusk why he felt Nohl Ranch Road was more appropriate
than Lincoln Avenue; inrhereupon Mr. Lusk state:l that the new n~une would identify the area,
and since the street would have access only t~ one freeway, it would help the people who
worked in other areas to relate their area to a specific street, and it was very important
to every property owner in this area. Furthermore, he had studied this at considerable
length, and it was his opinion the street name change was important to the development of
this';'acreage within the City.
I'HE HEARIN:~ WAS CLASED.
Discussion was.held by the Commission as to alternate street names, or a combination of
street names for this one thoroughfare; that if another street name were approved for this
thoroughfare, this would be a step backward in the progress made by the Street Naming
Committee; that the proposed street name change would be good advertising on a State high-
way of private property; that in order to have a benefit to the County as a whole, and the
City of Anaheim in particular, it was important that duplicity of street names would be
more confusing if direction from one street were changed with one name westerly and one
easterly since one's sense of direction was difficult when leaving the freeway.
Commissioner Row2and offered Resolution No. PC68-28 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Mungall, to recommend to the City Council that the name of Lincoln
Avenue be retained for the alignment of the street easterly of the Newport Freeway on the
basis that a continuity of street names should be maintai.ned throughout the City in order
that areas may be easily located by the many visitors to the City, and lessen the confusion
experienced by visitors and new residents of the City; furtherm~re, that the City of Orange
be urged to change the name of the Lincoln Avenue alignment within its jurisdiction back to
its original name to prevent the assignment of two names to one street. (See Resolution
Book)

STREET NAb~ C~HANGE - PUBLIC HEARIN3, INITIATED BY THE pNAHEIM CITY PLANIviNG CpMMISSION,
NOHL CANYON ROAD 204 East Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, California, proposing a street
lU TRINITy DRIVE name change for Noh1 Canyon Road.between the Santa Ana Canyon Road
on the north and Lincoln Avenue on the south to Trinity Drive.
Associate Planner Charles Roberts noted for the Commission that as a result of the
January 3, 1968 Planning Commission meeting to consider a request to rename Lincoln
Avenue east,of the Newport Freeway to Nohl Ranch Road, the Commission directed the staff
to advertise all other'streets bearing the name of "Nohl" for consideration of a street
name:change; however, the only street within the City of Anaheim's ~urisdiction was Nohl
Canyon Road, and the Nohl Ranch Lake Road was a private street formerly known as Walnut
Canyon Road.
Mr. Roberts also noted that the City of Orange had requested continuance of the Planning ,
Commission's consideration of the street name change until their Planning Commission had ~
an opportunity to review the proposed request. Furthermore, the Orange County Street
Naming Committee had also suggested that if the Cominission would consider changing the
name of Lincoln Avenue to Noh1 Ranch Road, then the procedure the Planning Commission
was following, namely considering street name changes for any other streets bearing the '
,
name of "Nohl", was in order and recommended that only one street bear the name of "Nohl". {
A letter of opposition from a resident of the City of Orange was ~
presented to the Commi~ssion.~
The Commission further noted that since their action on Lincoln Avenue was to recommend the ~
retention of the name, if the City Council deemed it advisable to rename Lincoln Avenue, j
then any consideration of Nohl Canyon Road should also be considered :or a name change. ~
T~E H~ARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Allred offered Resolution No< PC68-29 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Herbst, to recommend to the City Council that no street name
change for Nohl Canyon Road shall take place; however, if the Council determined that
Lincoln Avenue should be changed to Nohl Ranch Road, that favorable consideration be given
to a street name change.for Noh1 Canyon Road. ~(See Resolution Book)' .

CONDITIONAL• USE - CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGe JOHN WRIGHT, 1620 South Euclid Street,
PE~IT ~• 992 Anaheim, California, Owner; VERNON DAVIS, 11933 Beach Boulevard,
Stanton, California, Agent; requesting permission to ESTABLISH AN
ADULT ONLY,'147-SPACE MOBILE 1-bME PARK on property described as:
A rectengularly shaped parcel of land having a frontage of approximately 650 feet on the
east side of Euclid Street and a maximum depth of approximately 1,270 feet, the northerly
boundary of subject property being approximately 112 feet south of the centerline of Cris
Avenue, and further described as 1620 South Euclid Street. Property presently classified
R-A, AGRICULTURAL, ZONE.
Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed the location of the property, the proposed
request, existing zoning and noted that 19 acres were involved in the R-A Zone, and that
the petition had been continued from the meeting of January 3, 1968, in order to allow
time for the petitioner and the Southern California Edison Company to resolve problems
regarding the Edison easement along the southerly boundary of subject property, and for
the staff to develop overlays for possible single-family residential use of subject
property.
Mr. Roberts noted that revised plans indicated guest parking had been removed, and the ~
primary access had been relocated approximately 130 feet northerly of the easeme~t; that
the petitioner had indiceted he proposed to reduce the grade elevation on the front portion
of the property in order that the trailers would not be visible above the masonry wall along '
Euclid Street; and that the petitioner had also indicated the State law now permitted the
removal of the wheels of mobile homes, which would further reduce the visual awareness of
the mobile homes from abutting.residences to the east and north.
1~'. Roberts also noted that the staff had examined subject property in terms of dwelling
units and population density for the proposed development and compared these statistics
with those generated by single-family development as depicted in the Report to the ~
Commission under "Evaluation , Finding No. 10.

CONDITIONAL USE - Mr. Harry Knisely, attorney for the agent~ appeared before the
PERMIT N0. 992 Commission and noted that the basic concern of the Commission was
(Continued) •i,ne land use of subject property; that Euclid Street for a five-mile
- route had been changed, and no single-family residential use would
be established on the street, or had occurred for the past six to
seven years, and, furthermore, the majority of the single-family residential development
which had occurred on the street was prior to the exceptionally.high increase in traffic
count; that the east side of Euclid Street south of Ball Road had multiple-family devel-
opment, a library, a fire station, and commercial uses immediately ad,jacent to the Anawood
tract, which seemed to be compatible with each other; that he had traveled the length of
Euclid Street and found only three parcels still available for residential use; that the
:==: opposition expressed at the previous meeting indicated they were not opposed to multiple-
'_g family development or a.mobile home park - only in the density of the use, which should
':;'~;~~. be similar to R-l, and recent fi9ures indicated that le7 persons was usually calculated
as the residential density of a mobile unit, or approximately 250 persons in the proposed
`~ mobile home park, while density fer R-1 calculated at :s,? persons would be approximately
; the same - however, the difference was that the adult IliOAi.a home park would not generate
use of public school facilities and would have .its own recreational facilities totally
°''~Yi within the park - nor would any traffic pass through the R-1 development from the mobile
' ,< home park.
Mr. Knisely, in response to Commission questioning regarding the lack of guest parking,
indicated the proposed parking was in excess to that required. Furthermore, if favorable
considpration were given to development of the property for R-1 use,•this property would
not be developed because the owner of the property intended to lease the property rather
than sell since a portion of the property was under the Edison easement and could never
have any permanent development on it - thereby reducing the amount of return for the
property, while the proposed use would utilize this easement for recreational purposes
and remove an eyesore of unsightly appearance with weeds, debris, etc.
Mr. Paul Allen, 1732 West Cris Avenue, appeared before the Carmnlssion in opposition,
stating his property abutted subject property to the north; that the agent for the peti-
tioner did not indicate the amount of single-fam3ly residential development on Euclid
Street since a number of homes had been constructed on Palais Road easterly in 1961 and
1962, and these were sold very ~uccessfully; thai Mr, McMichael was 3ust now construct!.r.g
single-family homes easterly of Euclid Street, south of Broadway; that increase of traffic
did:not seem to be a deterrent for development of $35,000 to $40,000 homes on the east
side of Brookhurst Street, and subject prc;~erty could easily be developed for a similar.
use; that comments made regarding the Edison =asement and the railroad should not be taken
into consideration since the petitioner had purchased the property with the full knowledge
of the possible deterring factors in future development of the property; that there now was one
mobile home park along that area, although it might be in the City of Garden Grove, and
approval of subject petition could set a precedent and pattern of development of the other
vacant,parcels in the immediate vicinity, thus making Euclid Street a"trailer park row";
and that if oversaturation of these parks were permitted, they would no longer be economi-
cally feasible to limit them to adults only, bringing in the influx of children and other
undesirable elements which the R••1 residents in the area were anxious to avoid.
Mrs. A. D. Shankman, 1617 South Loara Street, appeared in opposition, stating her property
was adjacent to the east of subject property; that she was concerned that traffic from
the trailer park would endanger the children in the neighborhood, and the environment
which might be established througti approval of the mobile home park would have a detrimental
effect on the area; that there was no guarantee the standards which the petitioner indicated
would be established in the park would be maintained; and that the petitioner had not '
indicated he had investigated the possibility of developing the property for single-family
residential use.
Mr. Knisely, in rebuttal, stated that controls could be established for the park as part
of the approval of subject petition - however, the mobile home park operators who were
professionals had more restrictions than could be imposed by the City~ that there were
very few parcels of land large enough to develop for another mobile home park in this area
to warrant fear that Euclid Street would develop into a trailer park row; that the regula-
tions imposed on prospective mobile home residents, such as selective method of approving
residents for the park, type and age of vehicles, etce, were much more restrictive and
would never be dmposed if this developmenf were for an R-l community; and that the only
development along Euclid Street which had occurred since the last tract was commercial
and multiple-family use. Furthermore, subject property would never be used for R-1,
7200-square foot lots, and the proposed park would offer a more quiet environment, acting
as a buffer between the railroad tracks since a masonry wall would be constructed along
the periphery of the property; that the grade of the property would be lowered; and that
wheels would be removed from the mobile homes, which would further reduce any visual
intrusion into the R-1 development surrounding subject property,

CONDITIONAL USE - The Commission noted this was the first time they had heard the .1
~~
PERMIT N0. 992 clientele of a mobile home park was selected so carefully and ""~.'
(Continued) inquired why units no older than two years were permitted; whereupon ' ~.:';;~
''
"
Mr. Knisely stated that persons renting adjoining spaces were just ;
'
. as concerned with ~th2 quality and types of residents for the area as `
l;
were the single-family ~omeowners. ;;~
'; ~i
Mr. Knisely, in response to Commission questioning regarding the type of commitment made ,K~+
by the Southern California Edison Company, stated he had held several meetings with the ~•
~
local representatives of Southern California Edison, and they were in a9reement with the `;.,.
proposed development; however, official agreement from the main office still was forth- ;'~
"~~ coming, and if no agreement were reached regarding the use of the easement, then any ;;;;:~
attempt to develop subject property for the mobile home park would be terminated since ~i;;~
the recreation facility was of utmost importance to the development of the park. ~•r
Mr. Allen requested answers from Mr. Knisely for some questions he had; namely, how could '
enforcement of the rules and regulations for mobile home parks just indicated by the agent
be accomplished.
Mr. Knisely replied that these rules and regulations would be handled by the owner of the
mobile home park.
Mre Allen then inquired whether or not the standards would be lowered if difficulties
were encountered, thus further reducing the desirability of the area.
Mr, Knisely •replied that the investment in the mobile home park was considerable, and
the interests of the residents of ihe park were more demanding than that of an R-1 area.
Mr. Allen then noted that their bedrooms would be adjacent to the access road of the
mobile home park, and since the~mobile home park residents would be leaving the premises
earlier than the average family, this would be very disruptive to the health of his
children; furthermore, the single-family homeowners would have difficulty in refinancing
'
their properties if a mobile home park were approved, thus affecting the desirability of i
these homes and their market values.
i
' Mrs.!Shankman again appeared and stated that the residents of the area were fortunate in ~ ; t~
having within the community an outstanding junior and senior high school, with many people ~ .''
being desirous of purchasing homes in this school area - thus it seemed lo9ical that
sub3ect property could be developed for single-family use and be sold without any difficulty.'
~ ;;~
`
Mr. John'Wright, the property owner, appeared before the Commission and advised that it was ; ,
' ;,;
not his intent to sell this property and then read a letter which indicated a type of lease
,
:.
propoeed for the mobile hoine park, and at its conclusion noted it was•good business to have
a high-quality mobile home park in this area since it would reduce the amount of policing
now being done; that he also had two children going to schools in the area and it was his
intent to purchase a home in this area since he also fovr~d it a desirable environment in
which to rear his family; that he had looked at other mobile home parks which were ad3acent
to R-1 homes and no difficulties seemed to have arisen from possible incompatibility since
any undesirabie residents were removed from the park as part of the lease of the mobile
home park.
Mrs. V. G. Manke, 1666 West Cris Avenue, appeared in opposition, noting that the Commission
questioned the amount of guest parking provided; that she had a very close association with
mobile home parks and many of the residents were not complei:ely retired persons - thus many
would have at least two automobiles, and thase families with adult children would increase
the number of automobiles, and, therefore, it was important to require as much parking as
possible without having the minimum requirement s3.nce many parks would not have areas which
would permit parking on public streets. Furthermore, the statement made that a masonry
wall would be constructed around the periphery of this property was of concern to many of
the homeowners in this area because their walls were only five feet in height, which would
not provide the privacy necessary between the,proposed use and the existing uses, and it
was urged that higher walls be required, and then Mrs. Manke inquired whether the proposed
wall would abut the existing walls since the existing walls were on the single-family
homeowners'properties.
The Commission advised interested persons that the height required for a six-foot masonry
wall was measured from the highest finished grade level of subject or abutting properties,
thus assuring complete privacy.
Mrs. Gordon Davidson, 1601 South Loara Street, noted she had heard many disreputable persons
lived in mobile home parks,which could have an undesirable influence on small children
living in the R-l homes abutting subject property.

Commissioner Herbst expressed the opinion that prior to the public hearing he had driven I ;
around sub3ect property trying to analyze the use for the property; that sub~ect property ~
could be developed for R-1, R-2, or R-3, and one of the things to its advantage was that ~
a trailer park which in hi ti i
~
~ , s es mat on would become a rather large one, would be entirely

TRACT N0. 4230, Van Nuys, California. ENGINEER: Millet, King g Associates, Inc.,
REVISION N0. 9 511 South Brookhurst Road, Room 107, Fullerton, California. Subject
tract, located on the south side of Lincoln Avenue approximately
660 feet west of Beach Boulevard and containing approximately 9.72
acres, is proposed for subdivision into 29 R-3, MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL and 2 C-1,
GENERAL COMMERCIAL, ZONED lots.
Associate Planner Charles Roberts presented Revision No. 9 of Tentative Map of Tract No. 4230
to the Planning Commission, noting that subject property had been considered at the
December 18, 1967 meeting in con~unction with Variance Nos. 1925 and 1926; that Variance
No. 1925 had been withdrawn at said public hearing; and that the Commission had recommended
to the developer that the tract map be revised to incorporate standard 70-foot width and
7200-square foot lots, instead of those p•ropcsed of 66-foot width and 6600-square foot lots,
It was further noted that the developer had complied with the recommertdations of the Commis-
sion and had further provided for the extension of Del Monte Drive westerly.
Mr. Roberts further noted that if the Planning Commission considered sub~ect tract favorably, -
a recommendation by resolution to the City Council amending the 1e9a1 description of the
R-3 portion of Reclassification No. 62-63-64 should be made since the present tract map
indicated that the C-l lots would be only 164 feet instead of the approved 189 feet; this
164 feet plus the 20-foot alley would still leave 5 feet of the two abutting R-3 lots zoned
C-1.
Mr. p. Edelsohn, representing the developer, appeared before the Commission and noted that
in addition to the one-foot strips known as Lots "A", "B", and "C", another 1ot known as
Lot "D" should be designated where it abuts the westerly property line adjacent to the
proposed extension of Del Monte Drive to prevent any crossing over of the dirt area and
utilizing the alleys to gain entrance to the tract or onto Lincoln Avenue.

the property must be occupied-while subject property would be the future home of the Cali-

Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that t}ie proposed signs were

Mr, Sharp advised the Commission that in his estimation a time limitation of not more than „~?
18 months was necessary since the signswould be removed upon completion and occupancy of t,'
the building, at which time a diffe,rent type of sign permitted under code would be constructed '
Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts advised the Commission that at the end of the time limita- r
tion established by the Commission if subject petition were granted, the petition could be
reviewed, and if additional contiquance were necessary, this could be determined at that time;
however, some type of a cash bond to guarantee removal of the signs should be required.

approximately 1,100 employees in the new facility, while presently they were employing under

150 feet, the southerly boundary of subject property being approximately 430 feet north of
the centerline of Cerritos Avenue. Property presently classified R-1, ONE-FAMILY RESIDENI'IAL,

Associate Planner Charles Roberts reviewed the location of the proposed signs and the Report
to the Commission, noting that the petitioner was requesting 11 existing advertising signs
and banners to be established as conforming uses and permission to instell an additional
12 signs in the public right-of-way where the R-1 and R-2-5000 subdivisions were proposed
to be developed northerly of those existing.signse Furthermore, the Anaheim Sign Ordinance
was designed specifically to permit a total of three temporary, for-sale or for-lease signs
of a maximum area of 250 square feet to advertise new tracts of homes within the city, and
at the time the ordinance was developed, both the Planning Commission and the City Council
felt the permitted signs were sufficient to advertise new residential subdivisions consistent .
with the objectives and goals of the community, in order to retain its special character and
economic advantages which rested primarily in the quality of its appearance and eliminating
sign clutter.
Mr. Robert Solomon, representing the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated

THE HEARIIS WAS CLOSEDe
Discussi~n was held by the Commission relative to the proposed request, and it was determined
that the Sign Ordinance provided adequately for any signing of new~tracts, and any deviation
from the Sign Ordinance would set an undesirable precedent for similar requests of other
single and multiple-family tracts requesting the same permission; furthermore, the petitioner
was asking for waiver of 800~ more than normally allowed under the ordinance, and regardless
of the time limitation that might be assigned to granting such a request, its deleterious
effects would be monunentale
Commissiona~r Gauer offered Resolution Noa PC68-33 and moved for its passage and adoption, ~
seconded by Commissioner Rowland, to deny Petition for Variance No. 1943 on the basis that
there were no extraordinary or exceptional circumstances to warrant granting subject petition;~
that the requested variance was not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a sub-
stantial property right enjoyed by o~hers and not enjoyed by the petitioner; that the request~
for encroachment in the public right-of-way could be granted only by the ~ity Council - ~
however, the proposed request would be contrary to all regulations of the Sign Ordinance,
and, therefore, should be denied; that the petitioner's request for waiver of more than an
80d,~K increase over that permitted by Code would establish an undesirable precedent for
similar requests of other subdivision developments now being constructed or proposed to be

REVISION NOe 3 Commissioner Herbst expressed opposition and concern regarding allow-
TENTATIVE MAP OF ing construction of single-family homes in the industrial area, even
TRACT N0. 5623, though the :.ity Council had approved R-3 zoning, since he did not feel
REVISION N0. 4 this was the intent of the City Council when this was app=oved;
(Continued) furthermore, the owners of theee homes were more permanently located
while residents of apartmente could move-if-the living environment
became unbearable - this being the difference between permitting the
apartments and homes; that the proposed subdivision would be located in the heart of the
Anaheim-Placentia industrial area~ and it would be the first time a single-family subdivisior
had been approved for a parcel within the industrial area; and that he was unalterably
opposed to this encroachment into the industrial area since subject property was bounded on
the north by a primary highway and the main line of a railroad, which would have spurs into
the ind~.astrial properties, thereby creating considerable noises which were not compatible
to the combined reaidential-industrial useso This, then, would be the start of a breakdown
of the prime industrial area of the City of Anaheim, and, furthermore, with the additional
homes, this would place properties formerly self supporting, such as industrial properties,
to be dependent on other areas for support and would require another school and park - which
had not been provided for in the General Plan.
Commissioner Allred concurred in Commissioner Herbst's statements, noting that this would be
a form of spot zoni.ng even though this area was designated by the City Council for residen-
tial purposes.
Commissioner Herbst also noted that the Placentia School District had expressed concern
about similar requests before, and to approve subject petitions would be a disservice to
the taxpayers of the County - appxoving a use which was not self supporting, and then
inquired whether or not the City of Placentia had voiced any concern about the proposed
petitions. '
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that no official correspondence
had been received from the City of Placentia; however, he had talked with the Planning
Director who had indicated he was aware of the shift in policy for this property through
the General Plan amendment, pro~ecting medium density for the property within this triangl,e,
and that the City of Placentia was still considering the area northerly of subject,property
for industrial purposes.
Commissioner Herbst noted that the property on the west side of Kraemer Boulevard had been
zoned C-1 and C-3 on the basis that the property would be developed for recreational facili-
ties which would be supported by industrial uses which were established in the area; however,
the property was never developed for the intended purpose.
,r~
:'i~
:;~
Commissioner Rowland noted that the Commission'should take'a long-range view when consider-
ing the proposed development, even though the Commission had previously voted against any
intrusion of resident~ial uses for subject property, since the advisory board, namely the
City Council, had decided this residential use was appropriate - thus the proposed density
and in3ection of traffic into the industrial area would be considerably less than if sub~ect
property were developed for multiple-family apartments. Therefore, any denial of the pro-
posed request would only delay development of subject property which eventually would be
approved for the use since the :t-?-5000 Zone was written to accommodate a less intense use
of property approved for R-3 ~.•~•': g.
Commissioner Herbst then stated that as a Commissioner he felt he would be 9oing an injustice
to taxpayers and the existing industries in this area by favorably considering homes for
this area, which in his opinion were in direct conflict with the industrial uses. Furthermore,
this area was rapidly being developed for industrial uses and in a few months would be devel-
oping into one of the finest industrial areas in the State.
Commissioner Herbst, in response to the discussion by the Commission as to the reason why
Autonetics decided to expand into Laguna Beach, stated that there were other reasons than
lack of living quarters for the employees, which he was not at liberty to discusse
Mr. Thompson noted that the City of Placentia had approved a hospital and a trailer park
adjacent to the commercial uses shown on the General Plan, and directly ad~acent to the
southwest of the trailer park a planned residential development had been established.

MINUIES, CITY PLANNING OOMMISSION, January 29, 1968 3758
REPORTS AND
REOOMMENDATIONS - ITEM NOe 1 (Continued),
FINDINGS:
3o The.original Conditional Permit No< 1294 (to establish.a commercial stable)
was reviewed by the Anaheim Planning Commission and.City Council in Apri1,
1967e The Planning Commission recommended that the Orange County"Plenning
Department initiate a study regarding precise alignments of Sunkist and
Cerritos, and that the.proposed use be recommended for:approvaY on an
interim basis only, subject to dedication of ultimate right-of-ways on both
~ streets, and that any construction relative to this use and lying within
the ultimate right-of-ways be removable at no expense to the appropriate
~urisdictione ~
The City Council concurred with the Planning Commission recommendations and
further recommended a time limit of one year on said usea .
4. The Orange County Planning Commission approved the request, subject to a
5-year time limitatione
5. Recent Orange County Road Department Preliminary Hearing studies on the
alignment of Sunkist indicate a possible alignment along the Rancho line
which bisects the subject property from northeast to southwest. The present
plans for the stables and riding arena would place them generally northwest
of this proposed alignment and outside of any ultimate right-of-way,
The property owners in the area have suggested a further study for possible
ali9nment of Sunkist along the western boundary of subject propertye This
alfgnment would affect the location of the stables as proposed in this requesto
EVALUATION:
6e The present request is basically a revision of the plot plan layout originally
approvede ,Both the stables and.riding arena have been moved northtivard from,
the,vicinity of tHe Edison Company easement,,which.lies northerly of the
':Southern PacifiC Railroad right-of-wey and Cerritos. '
This newly proposed locetion is far more suitable as regards any future precise
~ alignment of-8unkist along the Rancho line, since the old locatio.n would be .
affected by the ultimate right-of-way; however, if further Ordng~: County Road
Department studies indicate a preferred location along the westerly property
line, then a portion of the stables would have to be relocated. This woul'd
constitute little difficulty, since no truly permanent structures, per se,
are being erected."
Discussion was held by the Commission relative to the precise alignments of Sunkist Street
and Cerritos Avenue, and the reorientation of the stables to allow for said aligru^ents, ',~~
and the fact that a time limitation as recommended by the City of Anaheim had bee;~ estab-
lished by the County of Orangee
Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to recommend to the City Council that the Orange
County Planning Commission be urged to appxove the reorientation of the proposed horse '
stables approved under Conditlonal Permit Noo 1294. Commissioner Gauer seconded the i'" ~
motion. MOTION CARRIED. ` i~,

Mre Roberts noted that the use.requested for the property was permitted under County
zoning ordinences in which G1 and C-2 uses were permitted in the M-1 Zone, and that
no :,treet improvements existed on Coronado Street in the vir,inity of subject property;
howeverf a 40-foot dedication on Coronado Street was obtainea from the property owners
on January 12, 1968 since County local industrial streets required this half-width dimension.
Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to receive and file Orange County,Use Variance Noe 6015
and directed the Comir.ission Secretary to submit a le~ter to the Orange County Plo.~ning
Commission expressing appreciation of the Anaheim Planning Commission for an opportunity to '
~ review Orange County Use Variance No. 6015. Commissioner Allred seconded the motion.

ITEM N0. 3
Conditional Use Permit No. 976 - Mr~ and Mrs< Frank Golemba -
Establish a day care nursery in an existing residential
structure at 715 North Anaheim Boulevard - Request for
approval of revised plansa
Associate Planner Charles Roberts presented revised plans for a nursery school approved by ~
the Planning Commission at 715 North Anaheim Boulevard, noting that the petitioner was
now proposing the addition of a 1200-square foot building on the front of the existing ~_
f reaidential structure, and the petitioner indicated the new structure would be used for
a pre-achool nursery, while the existing structure wou;j be used as a single-family ~
dwelling; tha_ the'revised plans indicated the proposed addition would take up the entire
lot frontage of subject property except for a 10~--foot driveway, and this driveway would
be insufficient for normal commercial building uses which required a minimum of 20 feet ~
to meet City standards; that the Planning Commission :ni9ht wish to consider the desirability
of requiring a minimum building setback af 20 feet from the northerly property line so that ~
adequate access to the rear of the property could be insured in the event the property was i
redeveloped for commercial purposes; and, furthermore, the Commission might also wish to ~
consider requiring a 5 or 10-foot landscape setback along the Anaheim Boulevard frontagE ~ 4'
in an attempt to enhance the esthetic qualities of this area,
i:
The Commission reviewed the ~
proposed plans and the recommendations made by the staffe
Commiasioner Rowland offered a motion to approve revised plans, subject to the pro4ision
of a'20-foot setback from the north property line for future driveNay purposes, and the
provision of a 5-foot landscape setback along the Anaheim Boulevard frontage. Commissioner
Allred seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIEDe
ITEM N0. 4
Conditional Use Permit No. 136 - Grace Baptist Church -
530 West La Palma Avenue - Request for approval of
proposed revised master plan and amendment to conditions
in Council Resolution No. 7194, dated September 19, 1961.
Associate Planner Charles'Roberts presented the re4isPc1 master plan.for the proposed Grace
Baptist Chuzch located on the south side.bf La Palma:Avenue, easterly of Magnolia Street,
noting that the petitioners were requesting approval of the revised plan and the granting
of a temporary waiver of compliance with certain conditions which included dedication for
the extension of Haron Stseet to provide access to the adjrcent vacant property to the east;
preparation of street improvement plans and installation of all improvements for the exten-
sion of Haron Street; a time limitation of 180 days for the accomplishment of Items 2, 3, 4, ,
5, 6, and 7~ and installation of a 6-foot masonry wall along the east, west, and south
property lines.
Mre Roberts further noted that on January 21, 1Sb4, the City Council gxanted a two-year permit
for the installation and use of a portable mission building, subject to compliance with the
Electrical, HeaCing, and Plumbing Codes; that on March 1, 1966, the City Council approved a
request for a two-year extension of time for use of said portable building, and an additional
condition of approval of the two-year extension of time was that the petitioner submit to
the City Planning Commission for approval a revision of plans for the entire development
at such time as the plans were available, ancl the'se plans were now before the Commission
fox consideration.

It was also noted that the petitioner had proposed that Condition Nos. 5 and 6 be deleted,
and that Condition No. 10 be temporarily waived, pending the future development of abutting
parcelsa Furthermore, the plans presented by the petitioner indicated that a total of
approximately 80 parking spaces would be provided once ultimate construction of the entire
facility was completed; however, the Zoning Code would require a minimum of 100 parking
spaces for the facility based on main auditorium seating of 500 personse
The request of the petitioner for deletion of Condition No. 5 would seem to be appropriate,
Mr. Roberts further n~ted, since the condition was originally imposed based on the assump-
tion that the property to the east of sub~ect property would develop for some type of
residential purpose; however, since that time, a portion of the property had been acquired
by another church group, and this church building already had been constructed - therefore
it would seem reasonable that Haron Street could be terminated at the southerly boundary
line of subject property, and a modified cul-de-sac established at that location. Condition
No. 6 could be deleted to the extent that all improvements for the extension of Haron Street
could be eliminated; however, a condition should remain requiring installation of a modified
cul-de-sac at the terminus of Haron Street.
The Commission reviewad all data submitted by the staff and the recommended amendments to
conditions, with considerable discussion being held on what type of waivers should be
permitted for the six-foot masonry wall along the east, west, and south boundary lines,
and at its conclusion Commissioner Herbst offered Resolution No, PC68-38.and~moved for its
passage~and adoption, to approve revised plans of'development for~the church and related
facilities~under Gonditional Use Peimit No. 136, and further subject to amendment to condi-
tions as follows:
That Condition Nos. 1 and 5 be deleted since portions of the abutting property
to the east had developed for a church and there was no longer a need to extend
Haron Street.
That Condition No. 6 be amended to read: "That a modi:ied cul-de-sac shall be
provided at the terminus of Haron Street in accordance with requirements of
the City Engineer".
That Ccndition No. 8 be amended by deleting Condition No. 5 from the list of
conditions to be completed within 180 days.
That Condition Noe 10 be amended to read: "That temporary waiver of the installa-
tion of a six-foot masonry wall be granted for the southerly 220 feet of the west
boundary line and the northerly 339 feat of the east boundary iine, and permanent
..waiver of the south 217 feet of the east boundary line"a
That a six-foot masonry wa11 shall be constructed along the soi~th boundary line
prior to final building inspection.
