3235, Anaheim, California, qgent; requeating th•at property described
as: An irregularly shaped parcel of approximately 29 acres of land generally located
north of the Santa Ana River and south of the Riverside Freeway, having a frorrtage of
approximately 1,100 feet on the south side of Frontera Street and a maximum depth of
approximately 1,200 feet,' the easterly boundary of said parcel being apprmcimately
1,000 feet west of the centerline of Kraemer Boulevard be reclassified from the R-A,
AGRICULTURAL, ZONE to the R-3, MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ZONEe
Subject petition was continued from the meeting of July 29, 1968 to allow the petitioner
developer time to submit more precise zone boundaries and other pertinent data.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property, the
acreage involved, the existing zoning, the requrst proposed, and rrason for continuance
because of the fact that the petitioner did not have precise zone boundaries - there-
fore a resolution could not be approved until metes and bounds were submitted, and that
piecise boundaries were indicated on a parcel map, and a legal description encompassing
both zone boundaries had been submitted, which indicated Portion "A", the northern
portion of the total parcel,, consisting of approximately 25 acres, was proposed for
R-3 zoning, end Portion "B", the southern portion of subject property, consisting of
approximately 4 acres, was proposed for R-2 zoning.
~
Mr.• Brown then noted that when the Planning Commission recommended changes in the . %
designations throu9h'approval of, General Plan Amendment No~ 97, one requixemrnt was
a gradual transition from low density to medium density, with R-2-5000 between the ~
R-1`and the R-3; however, the map presented did not indicate this.
Mr, Larry Armour, agent for the petitioner, appCared before the Commission and stated ~
he could not understand what the statement meant in the Report to the Coimnission - that
low density or R-1 was required and then R-2-5000, since he had attended both tne Commis-;
sion and City Council hearings on the Genrral Plan amendment. ~

MINUTES, CITY PLANNING`COMMISSION~ September 23, 1968 4123
RECLASSIFICATION -:Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson read~the minutes of General Plan-
N0..68r:69-13 Amendment No. 97 whexein Coinmissioner Herbst offered a motion to
(Continued) ' approve the changes and then:steted that the statemerrt in the staff
: . report only reflected the Commission's action.
Mr.. Armour then stated:it was his feeling this would apply only to the property along
the Lincoln'Avenue frontage`since subject property only m~t at-one corner ad3acent to
the R-l~to~the:south,•,.that the proposed parcel ;nap was what-they thought reflected the
Commission s recommendation,.and many studies had been made projecting street.petterns~
but it:was not their intCnt to develop the precise plans'until zoning had-been approvtd.
Furthermore, the.City Council had indicated an R-1 tier for only the-Henning and the
Dinkler property where it abutted the R-l properties, and that they were prepar~d to
present a pTot plan and a•.'subdivision map as soon as the zoning-was straightert~d out.
Mr. Thompson noted-that circulation plans must be provided at the time the tract map ~
was submitted or the property developed as a planned residential dev~lopment under a
conditional use permit. ~
Mr. Armour then requested consideration be given to approving the zoning as submitted
under the revised parcel map.
No~one appeared in opposition to subject petitione
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
The Commission inquired as to the difference in the number of units between the R-2
requested and the R-2-5000 Zone, and whether this could be deveioped for R-2-5000 under
i the present petition or require a new reclassification of the propCrty.
Mr. Thompson noted this would be difficult to compare; however, the R-2 2one permitted '
18 dwelling units per net acre, and this parcel would be limited to one story within
150 feet of the R-1 to the south, although the property only touched onto the R-1, and
that the R-2-5000 could not be developed under the R-2 Zone - this would require re-
classification to ~G"xat zone, but a subdivision map could be filed and the property
developed for R-2. .~
~ . , , . ~ . . ~ . ~J::~.i
The Commission further noted that the property immediately to the southwest of subject ~,
property would have to develop in accordance with the R-l requirements.
Commissioner Mungal,l offered Resolution No. PC68-282 and moved for its passage and
adoption, seconded by Commissioner Camp, to rrcommend to the City Council that Petition
for Reclassification No. 68-69-13 be approved for R-3 on Portion "A"•and R-2 on Portion
"B",'subject to conditions. (See Resolution Book)

MINUTES,'CITY PLANNING-COMMISSION, September,23~ 1968 ~ 4124
RECLASSIFICATION - Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of
N0. 68-69-22 subject property, the proposed use, and existing uses in close
• proximity, noting that the petitions hed been continued from the
VARIANCE N0. 2009 meeting of August 26 in order'to allow time for the City Council
(Continued) .-to make e decision ragarding the traffic circulation, and at the
. September 17 meeting, the City Council determined that properties
ia this general area be developed utilizing a system of 20-foot,
dedicated alleys lcading to Lincoln Avenue, Stinson Street, and Magnolia Avenue; that
subject property was indicated as being one of those proptrties which would require
such an alley to be located along its nortiiern bordez and extend between Magnolia
Avenue and,the lerge percel adjacent and to the west; and that although the plans
submitted indicated a 20-foot drive loceted along the northern part of the property~
the design of this accessway en: accessways leading to,the caxport areas was considered
by the Plenning Commission to be inadequate as it pertained to accessibility for fire
and. trash:equipment - however, with the accesswsy required to exit to the alley to the
west,'thi:s would-provide adequate accessibility for the fire and trash equipmenta
Mr. James R. Holle.nbeck, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and
noted that the original plans submitted to the staff indicated a 20-foot alley tha~t
dead~ended at the westerly end of the propert~; however, he would like to point out
that a revision would be necessary to the plan to extCnd this alley to the west and
for connection with the alley to the carports at the rear to provide for adequate
trafric flow.
No one app~ared in opposition to subjcct petitions.
F THE E~ARING WAS CLOSED.
The Commission discussed at length the fact that alleys were considered adequa~e for
circulation by the City Council; that the alleys were never maintained by City sweepers;
that better circulation could be developed if a 40-foot street were required, wi,th all
property owners in the area dedicating a 20-foot strip on t;heir prnperty.
2oning Supervisor Ronald Thom,pson noted that the Council was of the opinion that the
alley would provid'e a link sy.stem of circulation for emergency vehicles and drainage
problems which were prevalen~ in this area•- however, it was unfortunate that the area
had been developed-without requiring standard streets since because of thesa deep lots,
many of the units would be a considerable distance from a standard street and would be
oriented only to an alley; that the long, deep parcel approved for a motel to the west
of subject property was required to provide a 20-foot alley running northerly; ~outh.; ••
and then:north, linking to Lincoln Avenue and east and west, linking to Winston Road;
that the alley cutoffs were proposed to be designed so that there would be adequate
maneuverability; and that all the property owners in the general arCa of subject
property had attended the City Council meeting and expressed their desires for th~ir
properties. .
Office Engineer Arthur Daw, in response to Commission questioning, stated that alleys
had never been posted for ".no parking", although the Anaheim Municipal Code did not
permit parking in the alleys.
The agent, in response to Commission qurstioning relative to thC possibility of cAmbin-
ing subject property and the property to the north, advised the Commission that he'had
discussed this with the property owner to the north, urging him to consider adding 20
feet to the alley, and he would then increase the size of nis strip to provide for a
fuller dedicated street; h~~wever, the property owner was most uncooperative.
Mr. Thompson, in respons~ to Commission questioning, noted that the entire area in
which subject property was located was depicted on the General Plan for multiple-
family residential use; that the three parcels to the north had three different owners,
and evCn though land assembly had been suggestsd, the statement made by the agent that
none were cooperative was indicative of whether or not land assembly could be accom-
plished. Furthermore, the property to the north was zoned R-A and had a sin9le-family
home - however was not zoned R-1;•therefore, the Commission might consider requiring
the posting of a bond in lieu of construction of a wall since at the time the property
to.the north would develop for a more intense use, access to the alley would be
necessary.
Commissioner Camp offered Resolution No. PC68-283 and moved for its passage and adop=. .
tion, seconded by Commissioner Herbst, to recommend to the City Coun.il that Petition
for Reclassification No. 68-69-22 be approvrd, subject to conditions. (See Resolution

ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Nonee
Commissioners Allred, Farano, and Gauer, in their vote of "no", sta~ted that eve:~ thouyh
the City Council had approved alleys for cireulation for these long, deep lots in thi~
general area,.alleys did not serve the purpose of provid`ng'adequate circulation ar,a
afforded a poor substitute for apartment developments which were orieni:ed to an a'l1ey.
~ Commissioner Herbst offered Resolution No. PC68-284 and moved for its passage and
adoption, seconded by Commissioner Camp, to grant Petition for Variance No. 20G9,
subject to conditions~ on the basis that the property owner had a hardship siace
adjoining property owners were undesirous or uncooperative in developing a land
assembly of these narrow, deep parcels, and that most of the variances requested
were technicalities. (See Resolution Book)

TENTATIVE Mpp OF - DEVELOPERs WESTPORT DEVELOPMENT, 914 East Katella Avenue, Anaheim,
TRACI' N0. 5501, California. ENGINEER: Anacal Engineering Company, 222 East
REVISION NOa 2 Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, California. Subject tract, located north-
east of the Riverside Freeway and Miraloma Way, compri.sing a
portion of an 18-acre site, is proposed for subdivision into
39 MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ZONED lots.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location oi subject property, the
previous zoning action which approved a Resolution of Intent to the R-3 Zone on the
property, and a conditional use permit to establish a one and a two-story family
planned residential development; that the proposed lots met the R-3 site development
standards as to lot width and area; and that the developer proposed to develop the
lots with two-story, fourplex=type apartments. Furthermore, if subject tract and
Tentative Map of Tract No. 5231, Revision No. 6,~covering the balaace ~f the property
were approved, then the Commission might wish to consider terr~ination ~f Co;~i:..'_#:iCndl
Use Permit No. 643, since it and the associated waivers were no longex• applicable to
the present plans for devClopment of the property.
The Commission Secretary noted that if subject tract we.re approved, the #ollowing
corrections were necessarys Condition No. 3- the addition of "ar.d •that Street "C"
shall be recorded as Park Lane". Condition No. 6, referring to Alley "B", ~:~ould
be amended to read Alley "A".
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson noted that he had discussed with the Interdepart-
mental Committee the circulation proposed for Alley "B", and it was determined that
for better circulation and less conflict points, the alley should be returned
northerly to Street "C" instead of southerly to Street "D".
Mr. Darrell Meyer, representing the developer, appeared before the Commission and
noted that they concurred with the recommended conditions;.however, they were of the
opinion that approval of the tract maps would automatically reclassify the property
to the R-3 Zone, and if this were not so, perhaps the Commission could recommend to
the City Council that Reclassification No. 64-65-5 be reinstated and an extension of
time be granted for the completion of conditions.
Mr. Brown noted that the request for an extension of time would be heard by the City
Council October 1, 1968 relative to the reclassification petition; and that the State
Division of Highways had advised them that they hari an easement alonq the Riverside
Freeway which was a part of subject propertye

mately 365 feet, and further described as 1135 Leisure Court. Property presently
classified R-A, AGRICULTURAL AND R-3, MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIpENTIAL, ZONgS.
Assistant Zoning 5upervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of sub~ect property and
the proposal, noting that it was an expansion of an existin9 sanit2rium which was
located in the R-A Zone, and the new expansion would be in the portion zoned R-3 in
1~63; that..the expansion would consist of a 53-bed building to the existing 64-bed
stri~cture; that Code sequired a building setback of 15 feet zrom thC west property
line.~ however, since the existing struct~re was permitted to devClop with a 5-foot
setback, thC continuity of the expansion would be desirable; ~nd that although the
expansion p'roposed would seem to be appropriate to the surrour,iding area, the Commis-
sion might wish to carefully analyze the provisions for adequate fire protection as
to access from the westerly portion of the new structure.
Mr. Stanley.L. Rosen, one of the-petitioners, appeared beforC the Commission and
noted that'the existing sp:inkler system would be expanded into the new stiucture;
that adequate fire protection would always be a problem in this area, regardless
of the development for either the expanding sanitarium or a mnltiple-family develop-
ment.at`the'terminus of the cul-de-sac; and that access could be gained from etth~r
the north or the south side.
The Commission noted that a number of patients of this sanitarium were not entirely
amhulatory, and this was a major problem for consideration in approving subject
petition,with adequate fire protection,

(Continued)
Dr. George Scholl, 1135 Leisure Court, appeared before the Commission
and noted that less than 20~; of the patients were confined to their
beds, and all bed patients were located in the south wing of the facility where easy
access was possible to the parking Tot; that the new facility~would be constructed with
a continuation of the existing fire sprinkling system and was a safety factor; however,
he could not answer anything re9arding the access for the fire trucks.
I'he Commission noted that even though the majority of the patients were ~mbulatory, a
good number has sus~;ained somp damage physically and could not move as quickly as they
could; and even though the sprinkler system did give ona a sense of pxotection, serious
problems could result in the event of a fire.
Dr. Scholl noted that they were inspected quite frequently by the Fire DepartmF.nt,
and they held fire drills once a month, taking even the bed patieniu in their beds
into the parking area.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition.
THE HEARING WAS CLOS~Do
The Commission inquired as to any specific recommendati~;~s the Fire Department might
! have as to subject petition.
Zoning Supervisor Ronaid Thompson advised the Commission that th~ proposed six-foot
masonry wall in front of the proposed addition could have a gat~. along its northerly
boundary which would be large enough to permit fire vehicles tc> gain access, and the
petitioner could stipulate to either rCmoval of the wall or prc•viding a gate.
Commissioner Rowland noted that a.20-foot gate could be provided in the masonry wall
along the northeasterly end of the property; this would provide for adequate fire
protection i~r those rooms along the extreme westerly end of the propertyand would
not:necessitate pulling fire'equipment around a cornen
Commissioner Farano offered Resolution No. PC68-286 and moved for its passa9e and
adoption,.coconded by Commissioner Gauer, to grant Petition for Conditional Use Permit
: No. 1057, subject to conditions and the additional requirement that a gate a minimum

appreximately 620 feet north of the centerline of La Palma Avenue, and further des-
cribed as 1153 Fountain Way. Property presently classified M-1~ LIGHT INDUSTRIAL,
ZONH.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property and
the proposal, noting that a barber.shop in a 2,000-square foot portion of an indu,ztrial
tract was proposed to serve employees in the immediate industrial area, and ~he '
requested use was a service business primarily serving commerce and industry, with
only incidental service to the 9eneral public - therefore, the proposal would :.rroar
to be appropriate to the surrounding area; however, Code require 10 parking spaces on
a commercial calculation for a 2,000-square foot barber shop, but it was doubtful
whether a three-chair barber shop would ever require that many spaces, particularly
in view of the fact that many of the potential customers would be located within the
industrial tract and would br within walking distance of this proposed facility.

rather than being open to the general public. However, if addit.isr~nal parking were
necessary_ there would be three to four in the rear of the build"n~;ui~ which could be
used by the employees of th~s barber shop. Furthermore, there were still other units
in the building which were occupied, and under normal conditions, there were never

parcel of approximately 1.2 acres of land comprised of two lots having a combined
frontage of approximately 180 feet on the north side of Ball Road and a maximum
depth of approximately 311 feet, the,eas;~rly boundary of said parcel being approxi-
mately 503:feet west of the centerline of State College Boulevard. Property pzesently
olassified M-1~ ZIGHT INDUSI'RIAL~ ZONE.
Aseistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property, the
uses esteblished in close proximity, and the proposal for a truck storage, leasing,
and rental agency. Mr. Brown further noted the proposed use would abut an R-3 tract
to tha north,with an industrial use immediately to the west; that the use was an
M-2, Heavy Industrial use which could be permitted through the approval of a conditional
use permit, and the plans submitted indicai,ed a six-foot masonry wall along the east
and north property lines, but r.one along the west or sov.th property lines - which was
a requirement of outdoor storage, which should be enclosed with a minimum six-foot
masonry wall.
Mrs. Ann Madison, one of the agents for the petitio.~@s~ appeared before the Commission
and noted that the prospective owner felt the use ~eoould be appropriate in the industrial
area since they would be leasing to industries and`i~ubi~nesses in the general area, and
a similar use was granted for a tractor storage and sales facility on Katella Avenue.
Furthermore, the architect was present to answer any technical questions on the layout
and general operation of the building.
Mr.. Kenneth ~~ing, the other ayent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission
and noted there were two basic items of concern - those being the requirement of a
wall behind the front setback along the south side of the property.3nd they proposed
a chainlink fence for security purposes since £rom time to tim~ smaller vehicles would
be stored on the property with valuable merchandise, and an open-work fence would
discourage theft because of police protection; and secondly, the requirement that
lights be a maximum six feet in height'and away from the perimeter of the property
would preclude parking vehicles around the light standards because a ilat truck of
three feet with six-foot stacks would eliminate any ~rotection a well-lighted storage
yerd needed. :=urthermore, the six-foot standards would hamper the maneuvering of
these vehicles.
The Commission inquired xrhat type of valuable merchandise was proposed to be stored
on the property; whereupon Mr. Wing stated that sometimes the trucks held beer, which
was a very enticing commodity.

CONDITIONAx, bSE - Mr. Wing also noted that the proposed 20-foot light poles around
PERMIT'N0. 1059 the perimeter of the property would be directed away from the
(Continued) residential area, and an alley would f~arther separate the industrial
use from.the R-3 use.
Zoning Supervisor.Ronald Thompson inquired whether or not diesel trucks would be
utilizing subject property, since the storage of these trucks would be adjacer.t to
the residential uses. Furthermore, would they be arriving or departing around
midnight?
Mr. Wing noted~that the hours o£ operation would be no later than 11s00 P.M.; that
storage of.any equipment ivhich was noisy would be away from the residentiai use; that
he had originally projected a higher wall then the required six-foot masonry wall,
but they still were desirous of having the chainlink fence along the front setback
of the south side of the property, which could be screened and still leave it suffi-
ciently open for the protectlon they desired.
Mr. Thompson noted that the R-3 tract originally approved on the property to the north
had been abandoned - therefore it might be reasonable to assume that the property
could develop in a different manner.
Mr. Wing noted they would lease diesel equipment, with the trailers being stored at
the lessee's ~site and the tractors brought in for servicing and refueling, since it
was his opinion the proposed operation would be more or less a gas station operation.
The Commission then noted that since this could be the fact, the gas pumps and carwash
area, both of which were considerably noisy and emitted offenstvE odors, was proposed
to be located immediately adjacent to the outdoor patio eating area of the employees
of E. H. Sargent Company and inquired whether the building design could be reversed,
placing the pumps and carwash area easterly of the proposed structure and far enough
away from the adjoining lunch area so as not to be a nuisance.
Mr. Wing then agreed that the plan could be reversed as suggested.
Mr. B. J.,1dcKay, ManagPr of E. H. Sargent Company,'i617 East Ball Road, appeared
before the Commission an~ noted that one of their points of opposition was the loca-
tion of the gas pumps;`chat he telt a masonry wal.l should be required adjacent to
the west property line since a 9reat deal of truck traffic making left-hand turns
would be creating considerable noise, and it was his opinion that the use proposed
was not compati'ble in this particular area and recommer.ded denial of subject petition.
Mr. Wing, in.rebuttal, stated that he would like to poic~t out to the opposition that
the proposed use was permitted in ~he M-1 Zone; that these would be leased vehicles,
and the flow of traffic would be less than a service stai;ion; that it would be more
desirable than a machine shop, a bottling plant, or a brE;wery - which all were
permitted in the M-1 Zone.
Mr. Ra1ph Schulte, 1909 Cany~on Drive, Fs?lerto:,, appeared before the Commission and
noted there would be no more thai~ <3 units at one time stored on the subject property,
although it was their intent to ee,,~crtually operate 200 to 250 units. •
The Commission then inquired whethE ~ar not the servicing of the truck with diesel fuel
:~as the type~ of service whE;re one i~~ifi :^_dual company could lease the entire equipment
from the petitioner and return all ti;3ie equipment in the evening for servicing, to which
Mr. Schulte replied in the affirmatf.:~e.
The Commission furthes ipquired as t~; the ~ercentage of diesel equipment presently in -
operation in Mr. Schulte s Montebell.o facili.ty, to which Mr. Schulte replied that 30;K
of the equip~ent was diesel operated.
The Commission further inquired whethe•r it was conceivable a client would lease 25 to
50 pieces of equipment for route purposes, returning the vehicles to subject property
for servicing during the evening hr,urs and picking them up the following morning for
regular truck routes, and if this were true~ where would the truck-•drivers park their
automobiles zn ~he morning, at the time they picked up the trucks?
Mr. Schulte replied that at thr present time they had two such clients with four
trucks, and the hours of operation were from 7:00 q.M. until 12:00 P.M., and no
provision was proposed for parking of vehicles of the drivers of these trucks...
The Commission further noted that a similar problem existed adjacent to R-1 property -
wherein diesel trucks were idling their motors late at night, and noises carried

CCNDITIONAL USE - considerably more distances at that time because of the reduction
_ PERMIT N0.:105'9 of normal street noises, and inquired whether this could also be
(Continued) the.problem as far as diesel equipment on subject property;
whereupon Mr. Schulte replied this was quite possible - however,
the proposed use of subject property could be compared w~th that
of a service station.
N~r. Thompson noted that although a service station was permitted by rigrht in the M-1
Zone, after discussing subject petition with the City Attorney's offices it was
determined that the use proposed was an M-2 use, which could only be permitted in
the M-1 2one by the approval of a conditional use permit.
Mr. Wing then noted that the proposed operation would not be for the lubrication or
general overnauling, nor would there be heavy body repair work, but there would be
some storage of trailers.
Mr. Thompson then noted that the only storage of equipment permitted on a servide
station site was small trailers, and no diesel equipment was ever permitted, nor
were large trucks or trailers permitted to park on a service station site - therefore,
subject petition and the proposed use could not be compared to that of a service
station.
Mrs. Madison again appeared before the Commission and stat~: she was desirous of
clarifying the use of the property since she understood the use was to lease out
crucks and trailers to industry and businesses in Anaheim; that most of the trucks
would be stored at the facilities leasin9 them, and most would have their own fuel
pumps and fuel to take care of the trucks and would not be desirous of taking advan-
tage of the servicing of the trucks at this location.
Mr. Thompson inquired of Mr. Schul~e whether or not the operation in Montebello
genera~ted.a considerable amount of street parking and traffic.
Mr. Schulte replied that it was possible they could park on the street, but there
were no facilities available, and parking was not a problem in Montebello, nor did
it 9enerate a considerable amount of traffice
Mr. Thompson then noted for the Commission that it would be possible for the driver
of the truck vehicle leaspd from t1:e petitioner to park his automobile in the space
where the truck had been parked overnight, thereby eliminating street parking.
Mr. S~:~ulte replied tinat on their last lease agreement they did not provide for the
storagc -~f the automobiles of the drivers of the vehicles; however, if this would
occur during the night, they would store their cars there.
Discussion then was held between the Commission and the staff relative to~the proper
vehicle for approval of subject proposal, it being determined that the use was heavier
than that permitted in the M-1 Zone; therefore, a conditional use permit would have to
be granted to permit this, and the conditional u~se permit vehicle would then have
conditions which would govern the specific use on the property, and since the M-1 Zone
permitted only incidental storage of accessories, the vehicles as proposed to be
stdred on suhject property could not be considered in~idental, but were the prime
usage of the property.
The Commission then inquired as to the difference between the Fed-Mart warehousing
property on the west side of State CoTlege Boulevard, south of Ball Road,since this
would be similar to the proposed request and the one recently passed by the Commission
on Santa Ana, Walnut, and Manchester Avenue.
Mr. Thompson noted that a warehouse facility was a permitted use in the M-1 Zone, and
the trailers were stored there for reloading or unloading of supplies.
Mr. Wing noted that their operation would be similar to that of the Fed-Mart Company,
except that the trailers would not be brought on the property; only the tractors
would be brought in for servicing.
Mr. Thompson further noted that the M-1 Zone required outdoor storage to be completely
enclosed, and a warehousing operation was permitted to store vans on the property -
however, subject pe~ition was a rental and storage of trucks as a primary use permitted
in the M-2 Zone, and required the approval of a:;onditional use permit.
Mrs. Madison again appeared and said if this were a regular M-1 use, they could operate
twenty-four hours a day and could have many trucks and servicing of their trucks; -

THE HEARING WAS CLOSEDo
Considerable discussion was then held as to the •type of enclosure subject property
should 'have, the hei5ht of the light standards, limiting the numb~r of pieces of
equipment, and the hours of operation, and at its conclusion, it was determined that
since the petitioner stipulated to hours no later than 12~00 midnight,'~'the reversing
of the plot plan to orient the pumps and carwash area easterly of the structure, the
prop~rty sti11 should be.enclosed with a six-foot masonry wall - however, .for esthetic
purposes, the wall along the south property area could be of decorative or open block
to allow visibility throvgh the gate, and light standards could be at 20 feet,
provided they were directed away from the proposed R-3 development to the north.
Mr. McKay then asked the Commission what height the wall would be along the west
property line since their .wall was now five feet and the property adjoining theirs
was approximately three feet above their grade - this u~ould then make an eight-foot
wali.
The Commission advised Mr. McKay that the height of a wall was measured from the
4~i9hest finished grade level of subject oF any adjoining properties - therefore~ in
all likelihood the wall would be an eight-foot wall along the west property line.
Commissioner Herbst o£fered Resolution No. PC68-288 and moved for its passage and
adoption, seconded by Commissioner ~arano, to grant Petition for Conditional Use
Permit No. 1059, subject to conditions and amending Condition No. 5 of the staff

and pumps to the east; that an eight-foot masonry wall shall be constructed along
the north property line. and a aix-foot masonry wall constructed along the east

be constructed along the front of the property, but to the rear of the required
50-foot building setback, said wall to be constructed as measured #xom the highest

regular shape of the lot, it would appear there might be some validity for the
requested waivers, and the majority of the requested waivers were the result of
attempting tn develop around an existing swimming pool which occupied a good portion
of the western half of the property - therefore, the Commission might wish to carefully
analyze the plans and requested waivers in light o# this fact, to determine whether the
requested waivers were truly warranted. Furthermore, after the staff had worked
extensively with the owner of the property in an attempt to suggest development plans
that would not require as many waivers, the owner had indicated he could not further
reduce the number of units proposed since a lesser number of units would make th~~ -
proposed expansion economically unfeasible.

Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property, th~
vses established in close proximity, and the proposed request, noting that the peti-
tioner had indicated in the a~plication that other industrial uses in tfie i~nediate
area had outdoor storage uses without having such areas .anclosed with a six-foot
masonry wall- however, these•.industriad uses.referizd to by the petitioner were
located in the City of Fullerton; that the oV+riers of subject property had been advised
by the Zoning Enforcement Offices that ttse continued outdoor storage of pallets with-
out a six-foot masonry wall enclo~ure would be in vio?ation of Code requirements, and
either this outdoor storage would have to be eliminated, or a waiver of the wall
requirement would have to ue approved; and that in a previous instance, the ownersof
this site were required to remove many large paper cartons and cans from the property
since these, too, were bein9 stored outside without conformance with Code requirements.
Furthermore, a far more preferable location for outdoor storage would be to the rear
of the property since there was ample spac.e available, and the items so stored would
not be visible from Raymond Avenue, an arterial - hbwever, a six-foot mr hia~her masonry
wall enclosing the suggested s~orage area would still be required by Code unless so
waived.
Mr. M. E. Dahl, representing the pntitioner, apprared before the Commissian and noted
thaf the structure was being utilized for a warehouse for general cold storage and
freezing of perishable foods; that the pal3ets were stored on the outeide because
they were a basic necessity for the conduct of a general warehouse deaTing in seasonal
commodities; that sometime~ the pallets were in full use and used indoors, while at
other times they were stored outdoors; that the present situation as noted in the
pictures resulted in some degree fr~m a construction project under way for which a
building permit had been issued on August 13, approximately the same time the inspec-
tion was made by the enforcement officer; that the general area withan the existing
building is approximately 15,000 square feet, and in order to construct the €reezer,
25,000 square feet was needed for the work area - therefore the pallets were stared
outdoors; that these were shielded from view along the south side by plantings by the
State, and these plantings would grow eventually ~to a height which would hide from
view any storage in the front setback; that the slides presented by the staff did
not fully reveal the plantings which had been made aloasg subject property in ~accord-
ance with the requirements of the City of Anahei.m at the time the building was built,
and since these plantings were planted ,just a little ov~r tw~ years ago, they had not
attained their full height; that the constr.~action of the new facilzty would be com-
pleted within thirty days and then the majority of the pallets wo~ld be stored in
the building; that a number of the pallets had beQn stored ur.der the ea~res of the
building, which he thought mras permitted by Code - therefore, he was urging #he
Commission to approve subject petition because of the need for this storage on the
south side of the property. Furthermore, they had contgmplated the storage of these~
pallets at the rear of the property; however, the Fire Department had requested that
these pallets be kept in a general area together to effect a better fire protection,
and the area at the Raymond Avenue frontage was more easily accessible to the Fire
Department and still was sufficiently far distant from the building to prevent fire
hazards.
Commissioner Herbst expressed the opinion that the petitioner had not attempted to
comp3y with the setbacks and landscape planting in accordance with Code and eited
the adjoining Laura Scudder Company and St. Regis Paper Company in the City of
Fullerton, directly across the street, as having minimal outdoor storage - L'aura
Scudder having none, and the paper company was now completing their storage ware-
house and would move all their outdoor storage to that location; that adjoining
industrial development had developed the property with considerable landscaping,
and if storage were psoposed along the frontage of subject property, then it should

(Continuedj screen this off from general view of the public; that the City
h~d alr+.ays rsguised landscaping in the front - ho~ever, since
the`majorit'y~of the frontage of.subject prope~ty was owneC by
the State, the only,landscap:ing was that planted by the State; and that he would
only approve•outdoor storage ~v~thout'a six-foot masonry wall,provided iha~ the
~ pallets were s't~ored to ~~he nortn ~o# the psoperty and better landscaping provided
along the 'Ray~mbnd Aven~e fror.tage; since with new industrial development it~•~he
Ca~ty of Ftsl~ert6n, thi•s s'taeet would be a major street into th~ industrq~l ar~a and
many cars wou.~..d be passir,Kj subject property.
Mr. Dahl ~h,en indicated`tha~t they would a,ree to providing additional lan~iscaping
i~g; ' to screen subject property from Raym~nd Avenue.
Commissioner Rowland noted that one point not noted by the staff was the fact that
the palle'ts keing stored were part of the operation, just as trucks are p~rt of
another operation; therefore this might not be considered outdoor storage.
Mr. Brown noted that there were speeific uses permitted to be stored outdoors as
set fpr'th in the M-1 Zone.
Mr. Brown further noted•that in discussing outdoor storage with the Fire Department,
, the Fire Departmen~ had indicated that outdoor storage along #he north side of
subject property would be permitted provided that it was located approximately 20
feet from the building to offset any fire hazards.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald T4~ompson noted that similar outdoor storage facilities, '
suCh as the Orange County Food Service in the Northeast Industrial Area, where
vehicles had been stored at the rear of the property, were required to construct
a six-£oot masonry wall; that the new General Electric plant was required to erect
a masonry wall - however, this was waived for two years because the representatives
had indicated an expansion would take place and the masonxy w~ll v~ould then be
eliminated, with indoor storage of the majority of the materials. Furthermore,
ar.other factor to take into cansideration was that the enclosure of outdoor storage
as a part of the Anaheim Municipal Code was established appsoximately in 1963 -
therefore, it could not be required of established industrial developments and
could not be required of industrial property developed while unc~er the jurisdiction
of the County and then annexed into the City, since the County did not require en-
closure of outdoor storage areas.
Mr~ Dahl then noted that in warehousing operat~ons some flexibility was necessary,
and when the warehouse was full, no pallets would be stored outdoors; however, it
was necessary that these be readily accessible to the storage company and not located
too distant from the building.
The Commission further noted that if the petitioner did not have rigid pallets,
collapsible pallets could be stored in one-third the space.
Mr. Dahl noted that the rigid pallets were an essential part of their business since
collapsible pallets were not advisable for their type of facility.
The Commission then inquired cf the agent for the petitioner why the pa3lets could
not be stored to the north of the existing structure; whereupon Mr. Dahl staied
this could be done - however, it would be difficult because their truckin9 activity
was oriented to the front of the building, and they dealt with both plants and berries,
and the pallets would be needed for their customers.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition.
I'HE HHARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Herbst offered Resolution No. PC68-290 and moved for its passage and
adoption, seconded by Commissioner Mungall, to grant Petition for Vasiance No. 2018,
subject to conditions and the requirement that the pallets stiall be stored to the .
west': of'the existing structure, and those that were stored along the north property
line should be maintained at a maximum of six feet in height and in a neat and
orderly manner; that interior landscaping shall be in conformance with the require-
ments of the M-I site development standards as stipulated to by the petitioner;
that the area east of the existing warehouse shail not be used for the storage of
pallets or equipment, but for temporary loading and unloading purposes only.

IN CONJUNCTION WITH /~ PROPOSED RESTAURANT on property described ass A parcel of
approximately 600 acres of land located at the northwest corner of Broadway and

' ZONE.
.~t:
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property and
the uses established in close proximity, noting that the petitioner was proposing
to serve beer and wine in conjunction with a proposed restaurant, and that a similar ~;,.',.
request of on-sale liquor in conjunction with a restaurant operation was•previously
approved for this shopping center site in May, 1966.
Mr. Richard Bothwell, 2138 East Almont, agent for the petitioner, app~ared before
the Commission and noted that they would have a family-type restaurant, serving a '
variety of sea foods with beer and wine to be an incidental sale in conjunction `''~
with the sale of ineals.
Mrs. Hu1da Hemmerling, 114 Coffman Street, appeared before the Commission in.opposi- ~
tion and noted that she was one of the owners oi` the property and she did not feel I
that beer and wine would add anything to the development; that she had opposed all ~
requests for any alcoholic bevera9es being sold on this property be~ause of the many ~
children who had to pass the shopping center to and from school, as well as a church ~
which was immediatelX adjacent to subject property; that there were two restaurants
at the corner of the.shopping center which did not s~acceed;.and she could not see
where the addition of beer and wine would be the criteria for a successful business
because of the size and the location of the proposed restaurant; and that since the
petitioner had indicated this would be a family-type restaurant, it seemed unfair
to have children sitting at a table wh'ere the serving of beer and wine was a part
of an operation - this was not a good environment ~or children. Furthzrmore, her
husband was also in opposition to the approval of subject petition.
Miss Emma Mager, 415 North Bine Street, appeared before the Gommission, noting that
she was a partial owner of subject properties and was also opposed to the granting
of subject petition; that liquor was available at both Market Basket and The Family
Tree; that it was unnecessary to hav~ additional serving of alcoholic beverages in
this small shopping center.
Mr. Bothwell, in rebuttal, stated that the Report to the Commission had indicated
50~; of the total area would be used for the preparation of food and the balance for
the serving at tables and booths of food, and beer and wine would be only an inci-
dental part of the operation;,that there were 100 feet of blank masonry wall to the
rear of subjeet property, and the front would be oriented toward the east; t'hat
there was no intention of saturating the area with liquor facilities, and it was
their intent to serve the people working in the shopping center; that all cor~ditions
of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and Health Department would be complied with;
that the Lincoln Plaza Development Company, as lessees, had received permission
through the estate for the operations as they proposed, and the family had no control
over the uses which would be permitted.
The Commission noted that since on-sale liquor had been approved for a restaurant
in this shopping center, a pattern had been established, and denying subject peti-
tion would be denying a right granted otherso

MINUTES,~CITY pLANMING COMMISSION, September 23, 1968 4137
' CONDITIONAL bSE - Mrse Hemmerling asked to be heard again, and although the hear-
PERMIT<N0. 1064 ` ing was closed, thr Commission granted her the privilege of
(Continued) speaking; ~hereupon she stat~~d that each food establishment
approved in the shopping cenl:er was obtaining a permit to sell
liquor, which in her estimation was subjecting children to an
undesirable,influence because they are exposed to the sele of liquor while they
are eating in a restaurant; that the Lincoln Plaza Development Company had a lease
on.the property, and the property w,as still in her husband's, her sister's and
'her names; and that she urged the'Commission to deny subject petition, as well as
other requests for oq-sale liquor in a shopping centero
Discussion was.then held by the Commission, it being determined that the Commission
~ would have to judge subject petition on the basis of land use, and since a similar
use had been established, the Commission was not in a position to make a moral
judgment; that the Commission was confronted with a very unusual set of circum-
stances wherein the lessee, the Lincoln Plaza Development Company, was being
opposed by the actual owners of the propertyr, and if the property owners were not
qualified to sign the petition, then the applicant would have no place before the
Commission.
Mr. I'hompson advised the Commission that insofar as the staff was concerned, the
recorded lessee would be the authoxized person to apply for the petition because
of the long-term lease they, in all probability, hade
The Commission then determined that the plans as presenfied to the Gommissions and ;,,,~
the manner in which the proposed operator of the restaurant indicated it would be
operated, appeared to be a compatible use and nothing would be harmful to children
since many children have seen their parents have beer with their meals, and serving
of beer by parents was outside of the jurisdiction of the Commission and would be
a matter of police enforcement. ..
Commissioner Rowland offered Resolutzon No. PC68~291 and m~oved for its passage and
adoption, seconded by Commissioner Herbst, to grant Petition for Conditional Use
Permit No. 1060, subject to conditions and based on th~ fact thdt t?~e proposed on-
sale beer and wine would be only incidental to the sale o£ foad for consumption on
the property. (See`Resolution Book)`,

Commission Camp, in voting "no", stated that although a similar use had been approved
prior to subject petition in this shopping center, since the owners of the property
had taken a stand in opposition, he could not in good faith vote for subject petition.

Assistant Zoning Superyisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property, the
uses`established in close proximity, and,the requested waivers, noting that R-1 was'
approved for the property on the north side'of'Broedway, east of Dale'Avenue, with
waivers peimitting less than 7200-squaie foot lots end minimum lot widths; that the
integral street circulation pattern of the proposed tract conforms substartially to
the .r.~commendations made by the Traffio Engineer; thet at the time the Planning
Commission approved the°property to the north, a General Plan amendment was co.nsider-
ed,- however, the Commission was of the opinion that increasing the residential
density in this area was not warranted and recommended that R-1 zoning be approved,
i or low density - however, due to the size of the parcel, they recommended the
applicant for the property to the north be allowed smaller lots in si;;Ax but subject
property, a parcel much,larger and wider than that to the north, was i;;volved - in
addition, .surrounding developed single-family tracts conformed to the width and
~eaprovisions to the east and those to the west were developed with 7200-square
foot 1ots, but the frontages of the lots were 61 feet,and said tract was developed
while under the jurisdiction of the Co~nty in 1955. Consequently, the Commission
would have to determine whsther the requested waivers, particularly those involving
lot width and loi: area, were warranted in this case ar,~ whether the proposed devel-
opment would be eppropriate to the surrounding area.
Mr. Jack McClean, represent}ng the agent for the petitioner, appeared before the
Commission and noted that ira addition to subject property, they were proposing to
develop the property to the ~orth on Rroadway end were planning to break ground
within the:next few days; that-the homes proposed on subject property would range
in<pric4 from g18,000 to $23,000, and off-site'costs with double frontage 1 ot5

for;a length of 2000 feet would enclose this entire tract except for,street and `
pedestrian openings; that although the parcel was considerably larger than that ~ :~
on`the north ~ide of Broadway, it was difficult to develop as standard R-l because
of the improvement costs;' that they had built several tracts of lots of this size

Discussion was then held by the Commission relative to the height of the light
standards in the parking area, the easement proposed over the 20 feet along the
west property line, and to require a six-foot mas!+nry wall would create a hardship
along this property line since the adjoining property owner might wish to utilize `;
this easement af a later date when the property was developed. ~''

Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson indicated to the Commission that the ~ f~
primary reason ~;
for requiring a six-foot light standard was beceuse of the many complain-;s received `~i
from residents adjacent to commercial uses; therefore this has become a standard ~{r~
requirement where property was adjacent to residential uses, since the height of # "
six feet required would then be even wizh, or below, the required masonry wall. I

RECLASSIFICATION - PUBLZC HEARINGo INITIAI'ED BY THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION,
'NOo 68-69-28~ 204 East Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, Californie; proposing that
property described ass Two parcels of land containing a total
of approximately 49 acres, described as followss Parcel A- ~
approximately 31 acres of land located at the northeast corner of the intersection ?
of the Riverside Freeway and Newport Freeway, said parcel having a total frontage
of approximately 2,380 feet on the Riverside Freeway and a maximum depth of approxi-
"mately,'1,303 feet, and Parcel B--epproximately 18`acres of Iand located adjacent to ~,
the northerly;boundary of Parcel A and extending northerly therefrom approximately
648 feet to the Santa Ana River,. be reclassified from the R-A, AGRICULTURAL, ZONE '
`(PpRCEL A),AND;R-3, MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ZONE (PARCEL B) to the R-2-5000,
ONE-FAMILY, ZONE.
Assistant Zoning 5upervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property, ~
noting that Parcel B had been developed with R-2-5000 homes, and the developer had
also submitted tracts for R-2-5000 for the balance of the property; therefore, the
recommendation of the staff was to reclassify this property into its most appropriate
zone, placing R-2-5000 on Parcel B, with an ordinance being read upon consideration
by the City Council and meeting of conditions of approval under this reclassification
for Parcel A, which was basically the approval of a final tract map for the property.
Furthermore, if subject petition were approved, the staff recort~mended that the City
Council be urged to terminate Reclassification No. 63-E4-20, Reclassification No.
63-64-21, Conditional Use Permit No. 465 and Conditional Use Permit No. 466, since
these would no longer be applicable to the properties with the proposed development.
No one appeared in opposition to suhject petition.

in the mosf appropriate zone since Parcel B has already developed with R-2-5000,

°RECLASSIFICATION - Commissioner Farano offered Resolution No. PC68-297 and moved
N0. 68-69-28 for its passage and.adoption, seconded by Commissioner Rowland,
. (Continued) to recommend to the City Council ~hat Petition for Reclassifi-
catiom Nos.'63-04-20 and 63-64-21 be terminated on the basis
that the reclassification to R-2-5000, One-Family, Zone, as ~
recommended for approval in Resolution No. PC68-296, would supersede the type of
development.for the property since a portion of the property-had been•dev2~loped
for R-2-5000 zoning and revised tracts had been submitted far consideration for
R-2-5Q00. (See Resolution Book)
On roll call the foregoing resolution was passe:~~ by the following vote:

ABSENIs COMMISSIONERSs None.
Commissioner Farano offered Resolution No. PC68-298 and moved for its passage and
adoption,~seconded by Commissioner Rowland, to recommend to the City Council that
Petition for Conditional Use Permit Nos. 465 end 466 be terminated on the basis
that the petitions proposed a planned residential development, whereas a portion
of subject property had been developed for R-2-5000, One-Family, Zone, and revised
tentative tract maps had been filed which indicated development of the balance of
the property for R-2-5000 homes. (See Resolution Book)
On roll call the foregoing resolution was passed by the following votes
l+YESs COMMISSIONERS: Camp, Farano, Gauer, Herbst, Mungall, Rowland, Allred.
NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None.
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERSs None.
Although an offer for termination of Variance No. 1766 was made by the Commission, -
it was later determined that this variance could not be terminated until the City
Council took action on the reclassification of the property to the R-2-5000, One-
Family, Zone. Therefore, termination would be handled at a later date.
VARIANCE NOo 2015 = Chairman Allred in uired whether an one was ~~
4 Y present to represent
(Continued from the petitioner under Variance No. 2015.
page 4134)
Mr. Henry Jones, one of the petitioners, appeared before the
Commission and noted that because of the unusual shape of the ! `
lot, and the fact that a large swimming pool and recreation area wer~ located on '
the property, it was determined a minimum of three units would be necessary for i
development of the property in order that it might be economically feasible, and
by developing the vacant land around the swimming pool, this would discourage ~
residents in the other apartment developments from using the private swimming pool. {
Chairman Allred inquired why this apartment development had not been required to I
provide a recreation area as normally required under all apartment developments,
and he could not understand xhy ~ubject.property was the only one with a recreation
area. ,
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that the entire area along
Benmore Lane and Acacia Drive had been developed as a standard subdivision.
Mr. Jones then noted that originally each owner of the various fourplexes had paid
an amount of money for maintenance of the pool; however, this was closed by the
Health Department when 200 people were swimming in the pool.
The Commission then noted that the petitioner was attempting to crowd too many units
on the property and not providing for the natural amenities apartment living required, i`
and inquired whether or not one of the units could not be removed.
Mr. Jones replied that from an economic standpoint, it would be difficult to develop !
less than.three units, and he was desirous of having the entrance to his apartment
development from Acacia Street; furthermore, th~re still would be considerable land- ~
scaping around the property, and the apartment development would be an L-shaped
structure around the pool and recreation area.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petition.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSE0.

MINUTBS, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, September 23, 1968 4143
VARIANCH NOo'2015 - Commissioner Rowland noted that the requested waivers for minimum
(Continued) building setback and minimum distance between buildings and the
accessway wer~ technical because the buildings already existed;
however,'waiver of the required parking should not be permitted
because a redesign of,the development could provide the necessary parking, and any
parking over and above the minimum required would reduce the amount of on-street park-
ing, especially along Acacia Street - the only means of access into this area.
Mr. Thompson noted the possibility of removing an existing laundry room could resolve~
the additional parking space.
Commissioner Gauer offered Resolution No. PC68-289 and moved for its passage and
adoption, seconded by Commissioner Farano, to grant Petition for Variance No. 2015
in part, denying waiver of the required parking spaces on the basis that the need for
more parking spaces had been evidenced around all apartment developments, and subject
to conditions, with an amendment to Condition No. 5, to include, ". providing that
parking shall be in conformance with the R-3 Zone requirements". (See Resolution Book)

REPORTS AND - Attendance Report Record for the month of
RECOMMENDATIONS August of the Planning Commission.
Chairman Allred noted that several of the Commissioners wished to discuss the item
relative to their attendance on the so-called "report card" which was included in
the Commission agenda packets, and then asked the purpose of the report:
The Commission Secretary advised the Commission that she had been instructed to send
a copy of the attendance recorded - by morning field trip, by public hearing, by work
sessions to each Commissioner. Further than that, she had no other information to
clarify this.
Commissioner Rowlands The reason there are seven Commissioners is that the Commissioners
are appointed from various walks of life to represent a cross-section of the community,
and the reason there are seven rather than a lesser number is recognizing the fact that
all the people in the community are not entirely self-sufficient and must work, and as
such are apt to be absent from some of these meetings since this is not their liveli-
hood or any portion of it.
This can only mean dissatisfaction in our record, and in the way of physical presence,
I would deem it very nice if the attendance is checked in person by the person who gets
this report. Maybe not only our physical presence, but maybe we should be graded as to
quality of the service should also be represented on the report card. I would deem it
a rare privilege to see the Director of the Development Services Department so that he
could check in person rather than on the intercom in his office, either at the morning
sessions, work sessions, as well as the public hearings.
Commissioner Faranos I think that in discussing this with Alan, there are times when
many of the Commissio~ers are not present for the morning meetings to review the plans,
and a lot might be gained by the morning sessions, however; this is all well and good,
and whenever I can, I do attend these sessions. Since I do not, I take time on weekends,
in most cases, to drive to these properties to review them to note the development in
the area and what the proposed use for the pz~perty on the differ~nt petitions might do
Lo affect this Grea. If the presence of the Commission at these morning sessions is so
important and the value derived from them is so great, then the Commission should get
together to determine a better time for this meeting, si;,ce as far as I am concerned,
I have been unable to attend many of these morning sessions, and from the looks of my
schedule,there will be very few I can attend in the foreseeable future.
Commissioner Rowland: If we need more Commissioners, then maybe the Council should
look into this.
Commissioner Gauer: Since you have brought up this problem, why don't you arrange to
have a meeting with Alan Orsborn?
Commissioner Rowlands It is not necessary to have another meeting on something as
valueless as this. I know what it costs me to attend thPse sessions, and I am sure
my time is no more valuable than any of the other Commissionerso
