Durfee Avenue, Pico Rivera, California. Subject tract, located to
`the north'and west of the northwest corner of Brookhurst Street and
Ball Road and extending westerly to the City limits and northerly to
- _. ! Vancouver Drive, containing approximately 21.9 acres, is proposed for
subdivision into 13 G 1 zoned lots.
Subject tract was continued from the meeting of Octob~r 21, 1968 due to the fact that
the State Subdivision Map qct was being revised effective November 13, 1968, which would
: include commercially developed properties from the requirement of filing and recording a
tract map when such properties were to be subdivided.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown noted the location of subject property and the
history of the reason the tract map was originally filed, together with the fact that
the revision of the Subdivision Map Act had become effective and the tract was no longer
necessary, and that the engineer of the tract had submitted a request to withdraw said
tract.
Commisaioner Camp offered a motion to grant approval of the request for termination of
a11 proceedings on Tentative Map of Tract No. 6785 on the basis that the tract was no
longer necessary to comply with the Subdivieion Map qct. Commissioner Mungall seconded

(Continued) Subject petitions and tracts were continued from the meeting of
November 4, 1968 to allow time to work out circulation problems
relative to subject'and ad3oining properties.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property, notix~g
t}ie.acreage involved, the request for reclassificatioo to R-l with waivers, and the fi::ing
of three subdivision tracts; that the petitions were continued from the meeting of
Novembei 4 in order that the problems of vehicular circulation might be resolved for a
number of undeveloped parcels to the west as well as subject property; and that the Traffic
Engineer had now determined that wHen.Hillcrest Street was eventuall.y extended southerly from
Tract No. 6734 to Nohl Ranch Road, this would provide adequate vehicular circulation for
both the tracts proposed and future residential development in this area.
The representative of the petitioner indicated his presence to answer ~uestions and noted '
that they concurred with the recommendations of the Interdepartmental Committee. '
No one appeared in opposition to subject petitions.

ESTASLISH A 26-UNIT APpRTMENT COMPLEX on ~roperty described as: A rectangularly shaped
parc~l of land having a frontage of approximately 127 feet on the west side ot Webster
Avenue and a maximum depth of approximately 296 feet, the southerly boundary of said
parcel being approximately 890 feet north of the centerline of Ball Road, and further
described as 821 South Webster Avenue. Property presently classified R-A, AGRICULTURAL,
~ ZONE:
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property, the
proposed use, and waivers to permit a 26-unit apartment development on the property which
had a resolution of intent to R-3; that the plans indicated a two-story parking structure
along the south property line and subterranean parking for a portion of the two-story,
two-bedroom unit; tha£ the plan~ also indicated a 25-foot vehicular drive extending westerly-
however the Assi.stant Fire~Chief indicated;at the Int'erdepartmental Committee for Public Safety
and'General Welfare meeting'that'since a•54-fo'ot•turning•radius was not provided at'the
terminus of the drive, the drive would be inadequate to provide proper fire protection
to the rear units of the property; and that the density proposed was 30.4 dwelling units
with coverage of 59~. Furthmore, if the petitioner redesigned the project, a number of
, the waivers requested could be eliminated ~n o:der to meet the R-3 standards; therefore,
the Commission might wish to consider a four week continuance in order to allow time for
redesign of the project, eliminating a majority of the waivers requested.
Mr. James Hodges, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and noted that
the parking structure along the south property line would be only one story and would be
at grade level, while the parking on the north side of th~e drive would be subterrar.~an;
that since no precedent had been established to permit the proposed type of parking im-
mediately adjacent to a property line, as well as subterranean parking, the Assistant
Fire Chief might require a parapet wall; that waiver of the distance between main build-
ings could be corrected - therefore he requested withdrawal of this waiver; that the
Commission in the past had granted waiver of the distance of living units from a standard
street, and, therefore, the request being made was in line with previous requests; that
he was unaware the coverage percentage was greater than permitted - however, it appeared
that since the trash area'was covered, this was considered a structure and was included
in the calculations; that if the Assistant Fire Chief determined a 54-foot turning radius
was absolutely necessary, this could be provided by reducing the recreation area and
removing the swimming pool;.and that a similar development had been approved by the City
Council southerly of subject property wherein the Assistant Fire Chief did not require
this turning radius. Furthermore, the fire truck's could be backed out §ince the distance
was not that great, and although other projects had provided a 54-foo•L• turning radius for
trash trucks, the drivers always backed the trucks out of an area rather than turning
around.
The Commission then asked the Assistant City Attorney John Dawson to read the required
showings which had to be proven when a variance was requested, for the benefit of the
pc?titioner as well as the Commission.
Mr. Dawson, upon completing the reading of these findinc~s, advised the Commission that
these would have to be considered carefully before granting any variance by the Commission.
Mr. Hodges ~oted that at one of the City Council meetings that Body stated it would be
their policy in the future to consider favorably utilization of land in Anaheim for its
highest and best use; therefore, consideration should be given to the fact that subter-
ranean parking was proposed, thereby better utilizing the land even though a heavier
coverage resulted, and that the designers had been attempting to bQtter utilize the land
as a result of the City Council statement without sacrificing good design by proposing
unsightly structures, with privacy being controlled with design rather than with the number
of dwelling units on the property.
Mr. R. R. Pralle, 2501 West Ball Road, appeared before the Commission in opposition and
noted that he had developed a parcel of land similar in size to that of subject property
and had been required to develop at a considerably less density because it was his under-
standin9 that Webster Avenue would be limited in the density permitted per acre; that
when an increase in the number of apartments per site was permitted, this would also in-
crease the number of visitors to these various buildings, requiring additional on-street
parking and considerably more traffic, which could be hazardous to the entire area -
therefore he was objecting to the density proposed and requested consideration be given
to requiring development in accordance with developrr,^nt of other parcels in the area
which were required to develop at a considerably lesser density.

VARIANCE N0. 2025 - Mr. Hodges, in rebuttal, stated that the question of density as
(Continued) ' presented by the opposition had been amended some time ago by the
City CounciT when they approved more units for a,parcel than under
which the opposition's property had been developed. Furthermore,
this was the only opposition to the first subterranean parking development proposed, and
~ subterranean parking had proven to be a factor'in favorable consideration by the City
Council_since it was their opinion that the street would be adequate ~o handle the in-
~ crease in cars because of two exits; furthermore, the dwelling units per net residential
acre were well below the R-3 maximum, and by providino subterranean parking, extra ground
was available and the increase in density should be allowed as proposed.
T1~E HEARING WAS CLOSED.
;.~
i'he Commission noted that the one waiver requested relative to density had never been
granted in the past, and that was the coverage; that the distance from a living unit to
the garage waiver had b~en approved in'the past~; and ttiat 'if the Assistant.Fire Chief requested
an adequate turning radius should be provided, this request for ivaiver of aceess for City
service vehicles should be denied, and then inquired of the staff whether any problem would
result if the waiver of the location of accessory buildings were permitted.
2oning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised that the staff in the past had recommended that
accessory buildings be immediately abutting the property line in order to eliminate unused
space whiah developed into weed patches; however, the petitioner was proposing a portion
of the parking structure to be within the front 75% of the property which might present
an unsightly appearance; that the reason for the waiver of the distance of living units
from a standard street was in order to provide emergency service for the rear apartments;
that the Assistant Fire Chief preferred a periphery drive if units were more than 200
feet from a standard street - however, if this could not be provided, then an adequate
turning radius should be provided at the rear of an access drive in order that fire hoses
would not have to be pulled all the way from Webster Avenue for a fire in the rear unit.
The Commission further inquired as to the advantages in subterranean parking as proposed.
Mr. Thompson noted that where subterranean parking was proposed, better use of the land
might be accomplished for a portion of the area normally allocated for parking for each
unit.
The Commission then inquired what would happen if the variance were granted for the number
of units per acre if the developex determined:subterranean parking were unfeasible - would
this density still prevail if the plans were amended to provide surface parking?
Mr. Dawson advised the Commission that approval of a variance was subject to plans sub-
mitted and development would have to be in accordance with plans - therefore, if develop-
ment of the plans as presented were considered unfeasible, revised plans would hav~ to be
submitted, and if this were at variance with the density and coverage originally approved,
then it would necessitate the refi~ing of a variance.
` Mr. Dawson further noted that the pending reclassification on the Webstez Avenue property
i on which 18 dwelling units per net residential acre was
density other than that approved under a variance would betaffected~byethisYregulation;
therefore, waivers again would havn to be requested.
Commissioner Herbst of.fered Resolution No. PC68-331 and moved for its
seconded by Commissioner Cam passage and adoption,
p, t~ nrant Petition for Variance No. 2025 in part, granting
waiver of accessory building abutting the property line within the front 7~% of the
property and living units more than 200 feet from a standard street, and denying the
requested waiver for minimum distance br;tween buildings on the basis that the petitioner
withdrew this waiver request, and maxim.am lot coverage and access not adequate for trash
collection areas also denied, subject t~~ conditions, amending Condition No. 6 to indicate
that revised plans shall be reviewed arr9 approved by the Development Services Department
in accordance with the R-3 Zone site de~~elopment standards except as heretofore waived.
Furthermore, denial of three of the waiv,ars was based on the fact that no hardshio had
been proven that a variance was necessary to enjoy a substantial right not afforded others
in the same vicinity and zone. (See Resolution Book)

CONDITIONAL USE - PUBLIC HEARING. ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP OF LOS ANGELES, Lessor;
PERMIT N0. 1073 STANDARD OIL COMPANY, 605 West Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles,
California, Lessee; ROBERT F. REID, Foster 8 Kleiser, 1550 West
Washington Houlevard, Los Angeles, California, Agent; requesting
~x~"5;;~~~,vn to CONSTRUCT A BILLBOARD EXCEEDING MAXIMUM PERMITTED DISPLAY AREA on property
~.~a;ta'r'iusa9 as: A rectangnlarly shaped parce.l of land located at the southeast corner of
i.RFr~,~~.r~ Avenue and Knott Street and having frontages of approximately 150 feet on Lincoln
+~'r~;:~a~S ~~~ approximately 125 feet on Knott Street, and further described as 3448 West
!~2"++.Wln Avenue.. Property presently classified G 2, GHNERAL COMMERCIAL, ZONE.
Assistant 2oning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property and the
uses established in close proximity, noting that the petitioner was proposing to erect a
new billboard 768 squaie feet i~i~size.on an ezisting billboard site, xhile the existing
one was 300 square fee~;:; that the agent for the petitioner indicated the proposed size
sign was necessary because of the loss of nonconforming billboards adJacent to freeway
ri9hts-of-way, and the proposed new si9n face would project into the required 35-foot
setback along Lincoln•Avenue; that the existing 300-square foot billboard was now located
to the rear of the 35-foot setback; that the intent of the Billboard Ordinance was to
provide alternative sites for freeway-oriented signs scheduled for removal by March of
1968, provided that standard poster panel billboards could be constructed at appropriate
sites as a matter of right; and that the Billboard Ordinance further recognized that
larger billboards might be considered in locations where they would not harm the appear-
ance or investment potential of tfie surrounding area - however, these could be constructed
only through approval of a conditional use permit for a truly unique situation.
Mr. Robert Reid, representing the Foster 8 Kleiser Company, appeared before the Commission
and noted that •~~ statements made in the Report to the Commission were accurate; that at
the time the p[tition was filed, the encroachment into t~~e 35-foot setback was 10 feet,
and through mEetings with the Standard Oil Company as to the ideal location for the pro-
itswassnow proposed toahave a~6~-foot encroachmentWintotthee355$oot setback,~ end ifgthis
were allowed, it was proposed to have a one-post structure, and this would be similar
in size and construction to previous requests heard by the Plam;~ing Commission and approved
by the City Council. Furthermore, '~illboards could never be coristructed higher than 36
feet and where adjacent to residential structures; however, the proposed sig» wauld be
32 feet; or approximately the height of the billboard presently in existen~e.
Mr. Reid, in response to Commission questionir.g, s~oted that the size of the bil,lboard
poles was the standard type painted outdoor advertisements that were rotated fsom ~location
to location and were not the poster panel type used on standard outdoor advertising posters
of 300 square feet; that the size of a regulation rectangle was 672 square feet, but because
of the variety of copy displayed on a monthly basis, there could be projections from this
standard *ectangle - therefore the 768 square feet was requested.
Considerable di~scussion was then held ~y the Commission relative to numerous req~a~sts for
large billboards in e.xcess of that permitted by right could not be justified by the removal
of some from the freeways; that motorists driving along local thoroughfares rarely had time
to view signs at the speeds they were traveling; that the proposed billboard would block
out the Standard Oil sign as well as the adjoining market sign; and that approval of the
proposed billboard could establish a undesirable precedent for requests from the service
station site as well as the market for signs in excess of that permitted under Code.
Commissioner Gauer noted that on a recent trip through Canada and the east, control of
signs.and billboards was quite noticeable, and it seemed the State of California was the
only one ef all the states in the United States where signs almost obliterated the trees
and countryside, and that approval of the proposed billboard would add further problems
to the urban sprawl of the City.
_~
, , :r
The Commission further noted that signs and billboards in Orange County, particularly in
Anaheim, had an unfavorable article written about them in Fortune Magazine - particularly
the signs along Harbor Boulevard, and the necessity for the size of the billboard proposed
had not be proven other than the fact that it would represent their standard painted poster
bulletin and was replacing signs whicl-, had been removed from the freeway frontage.
Mr. Reid noted that since the cutdoor sign company was a legitimate business and they also
operated in other states, they had cooperated 100% with the beautification program through-
out the country, and this proposed billboard should be approved in accordance with the
provisions of the Billboard Ordinance.
Assistant City pttorney John Dawson advised the Commission that the requested billboard
was in line with the Billboard Ordinance and a conditional use permit was required in
order that the Commission and City Council could review the billboardsto determine whether
they would be detrimental as to size and location.

PERMIT N0. 1074 Drive, qnaheim, California, Owner; DAVID C. FLOCK, 1457 East Romneya
Drive, Anaheim, California, Agent; requesting permission to ESTABLISH
PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL CLASSES, INCLUDING CLASSES FOR THE MENTALLY
RETARDED, IN AN EXISTING CHURCH FACILITY on property described as: An irregularly shaped
parcel of approximately 2.35 acres of land located north and west of the northwest corner
of Romneya Drive and Acacia Street and having approximate frontages of 297 feet on the
north side of Romneya Drive and 178 feet on the west side of Acacia Street, and further
described as 1457 East Romneya Drive. Property presently classified R-A, qGRICULTURqL,
ZONE.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown noted the location of subject property and the request
to permit the continued utilization of the church facilities for a specialized school for
the mentally retarded which had been in operation for some time; that in March, 1957, the
Planning Commission 9ranted Variance No. 722 to permit a church facility on subject property;
that prior to construction, the variance had expired - therefore Variance No. 943 was sub-
sequently approved in Apri1, 1958 for the same use; that to date only two of the seven
buiTdings approved for the construction under Variance No. 943 had been completed and were I
now being used for church services and at varibus times meeting facilities for community ,
organiaations, such as Boy Sr.outs, Girl Scouts, a small nursery school, and a class for
the mentally retarded; and that the petitioner had requested that the Conditinnal Use
Permit No. 1074 be broad enough in its interpretation to permit other organiz;3tions to
use the church facilities in the future.- However, staff discussions with the City•Attorney's i
Office had indicated that a church, in many ways, was a community facility and normal
usage would allow church connected social groups to hold meetings and use the facilities;
however, to broaden the interpreta.tidn.:to the point where fraternal organizations, private
educational institutions and other similar groups without approval of a#urther conditional
use permit would appear to provide too much latitude as to the ultimate uses of the property,
and that suLject petition, as advertised, would permit the nursery school and the school
for the mentally retarded, and in this instance, the proposal would not appear to be detri-
mental to surrounding properties due to the limited size of the facilities and the number
of students involved - namely, a maximum of 12 students, with two instTUCtors. ~
Mr. David Flock, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission, noting he was
one of the trustees of the church, and :he statement made k+y the staff that to broaden
the interpretation of the uses permitted under the conditional use permit for use of the
church facilities, creating an open daor for non-related church facilities, would not take
place since the church was a very conservative one, and the tru~tees would not permit most
uses for the property, and the request for broadening of the uses was because of the
number of organizations asking to use their facilities, such as conducting classes for
deaf children, and that the purpose of subject petition was to permit continued classes
for mentally retarded children.
The Commission inquired of the agent whether or not his reasoning for asking for broadening
of the uses was to permit subject church facilities for educational purposes, to which
Mr. Flock replied in the affirmative.
The Commission then inquired whether any criticism had been received from the neighbors
regarding the classes for the mentally retarded which had been held in the past.
Mr. Flock noted the school had been in operation for the past three years; however, when
a request for renewal of the license was made, the Zohing staf~:lhad::incli~ca~ted.they would

CONDII'IONAL USE - PUBLIC HEARING. ALBERT COHEN, 631 Joan Way, Placentia, California,
PERMIT N0. 1075 Owner; requesting permission to ESTABLISH A PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL
~;~ INSTITUFION FOR PRE-SCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN on property described
;';,~ as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land having a frontage of
appro:timately 111 feet on the west side of Easy Way and a maximum depth of approximately
;~.:,~ 109 feet, the southerly boundary of said parcel being approximately 175 feet north of
;;:h the centerline of Katella Avenue. Property presently classified C-1, GENERAL COMMHRCIAL,
,'.;?~. ZONE .
~ Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property and the
uses established in close proximity, noting that a Tic-Toc Market was located to the south
and single-family residential uses to the west and northwest, multiple-family development
to the northeast and commercial to the east; that subject property was reclassified to the
C-1 Zone in December, 1965, and the petitioner proposes to establish afrivate pre-school
and kindergarten for a maximum of 54 children in a proposed structure approximately 2700
square feet in size, consisting of two classrooms and small offices for the staff and
nurse, wi.th an outdoor play and recreation area of approximately 5000 square feet, which
was proposed to the west and north of the structure; that the size of the lot was adequate
for the proposed facilities - however, because a portion of subject property abutted the
rear yard of a single-family residence to the west, the Commission might wish to consider
recommending to the'petitioner that the pley area and structure locations be reversed,
placing.the play area imme'diately ad,jacent to the commercial` property, thereby reducing
the noise from children at play; and that it would appear the proposed use would r.ot be
detrimental to the surrounding area..
Mr. Mario Pelligrini, representing the Pied Piper School System, indicated his presence
to answer questions, noting that they proposed to construct the pre-school and kindergarten
on subject property and that they would be willing to reverse the plan to place the play-
ground area adjacent to the market.
Mr. Dorothy Fogle, 1850 Tamara Lane, appeared before the Commission and noted that if
subject petition we
e
r
granted, a 6-foot masonry wall should be required adjacent to the
west property line.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised Mrs. Fogle that one of the recommended conditions
was the requirement of a 6-f
t
oo
masonry wall along the west property line - a requirement
of the C-1 Zone.
Mrs. Fogle then noted that ever since the Tic-Toc Marke~ was in operation, they had con-
siderable problems as't
r
o pape
s and r3ebris blowing into the single-family residences and
iinquired whether or not this 6-foot
masonry wall would encempass the entire west side of
the G1 property.
~ Mr: Thompson noted that since the wall was a requirement ad3acent to properties that we:e
developed
`the City could
t
,
no
require construction of a wall on vacant property unless
the petitioner, himself, agreed to the construction
f
h
o
t
e wall; however, because the
petitioner had agreed to the relocation of the play area
th
i
,
e pr
vacy of the single-family
homeowners would be assured because of the required wall, and debris blowin
fr
the
ma
g
om
rket wot.:ld be minimized because of this wall.
Mrs. Fogle then noted that even though a'portion of the property was not being developed,
it was still owned by the same
person, and the single-family homeowners should have the
right to demand some privacy from
i
commerc
al uses, although the property was not planned
to be developed at the present time.
The Commission then inquired of the agent for the petitioner whether it would be acceptable
to him to construct the
a
r
m
son
y wall along the north as'well as the west property line.

CONDITIONAL USE - The agent'£or.the,petitioner.then noted tha~:since they had agreed
PERMIT N0. 1075 to relocate the`playground' area adjacent to the market, the proposed
(Continued) masonry wall and the structure would assure,the adjoining property
owners of their privacy:
Mr. Thompsom inquired whether or not the pet~tioner proposed ~to develop the 50-foot strip
of land in .•he near future.
Mr. Albert Cohen, the petitioner; appeared before the Commissi~n and stated that no plans
;for,development.were considered'at this time; however, if the Commission were of the
opinion that the:6-foot mesonry wa11 was desirebie, he wouId not be opposed to construc-
tion of the wall around the periphery of the "not a part" paxcel.
Mrs:;M3rguerite A.iderson, 1849 Tamara Lane, appeared before the Commission and reiterated
the statements made by Mrs. Fogle relative to trash blowing into the yards, and although
the play area and the structure would be between the market and her property, because ef
the vacant land, there was always the possibility of debris biawing from this vacant parcel.
Mrs. Duane Shepell, 1852 Tamara Lane, appeared before the Commission, noting i;hat she
resided to the west of subject property on the long, narrow parcel for the past fifteen
years; that she urged favorable consideration of a 6-foot masonry wall along the :vest
property line in order to protect their privacy and insure less noise,
Considerable discussion was then heid by the Commission relative to the location of the
wall and whether or not it should extend from the existing wail aiong the north property
1?,ne since where these wa:ls did not ab~~t each other, this left an area where children
might leave debris.
The owner of the p.roperty immediately to the north of the C-1 property advised the Commis-
sion that she would be wi2ling to give her approval for construction of the wall on her
property line to the petitionp;.
The Commission then advised tne petitioner to ccntact the northerly proper.ty owner relative
to gaining access to the preperty for the puroose of constructing the wall required along
the north property line ar.~:, to work with the property owner i~ det=rmining the type of
wall construction and coloi.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner.,Camp offered Resoluticn No. PC68-334 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Herbst, to grant Petition fer Conditional. Use Permit No. 1075,

Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pet Brown reviewed'the location of subject property, noting
that~thi"s encompassed ttie>easterly portion of a triangle known as-the Dowling property'
~ located easterly of;Kraemer Boulevard;'that the R-2=5000 trect was'already being`developed
I to the west of subject pioperty; and.that the.General Plan indicated medium density resi- r
~ dential uses for the properties within-the Dowling triangle - therefore the ro osed ' ~~
~ subdivision would appear to be a p p f'
, ppropriate to the area and would be a logical extension `'
of the uses approved to.the west'of'subject property. '"
i:
Mr.'Daniel Deutsche, agent, appeared before the Commission and noted that the three owners
were desirous of having the proposed zoning to finish out the triangle from the Flood
Control channel to Kraemer Boulevard, and then inquired whether or not these tracts would '
be subject to the new ark
p and recreation fee.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald I'hompson advised the agent for the petitioners that at the time
the resolution was drafted by the City Council, it steted that anything in process' through
-0ctober 22, 1968 and fees paid prior to May 1, 1969, would not be subject to the increase
in park and recreation''fees; however, subject petition was.filed on October 2. - therefore, ,°
under.the strict interpretation'of the resolution, they could not qualify, but the City "
Council was holding'a public meeting regarding these fees with developers in the evening ;>,
of November 19, and, therefore,,recommended that the agent for the petitioners be present

East Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, California; proposing sub-
• division of subject property into 16 R-1 zoned lots.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property, noting
the waivers xequested for lot area and lot width; that the owner planned to retain the
one-acre parcel to the south; that the size of lots ranged from 6000 to 8000 square feet;
and that the General Plan indicated low density residential development for the area -
therefore the request would seem to be appropriate.
~ Mr. Kit Kenyon, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and indicated
his availability to answer questions, noting that he intended to develop homes in this
tract ranging in price from $32,000 to $38,000, and that he had indicated in the applica-
tion that he wished to vary the widths of the lots with the homes since in aesign it was
not his desire to pre-size lots, such as a 48-foot wide, two-story home placed on a 70-
foot wide lot; that many people were not interested in the upkeep of a large green area;
and then inquired whether or not he would be affected by the new increase in park and
recreation fees.~
Zoning Supervisor Ronald.Thompson advised the agent for the petitioner that his petition
was;;also filed one day late of the date stated in;the resolution by the Council; and
then urged;him to attend the'public meeting regarding these £ees.
A telegram of opposition was read to the Planning Commiesion from the property owner to
the east'of s+~bject property, opposing the lot size of less than 7200 square feet.

ABUTTING SIDE PROPERTY LINE WITHIN FRONT 75% OF PROPERTY,
(3) MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN BUILDINGS, AND (4) LIVING UNITS
LOCATED MORE THAN 200 FEET FROM A STANDARD STREET.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of sub~ect property, the uses
established in close proximity, and previous zoning action on the property, noting that
the present request proposed multiple-family residential development fc~r the entire 12-acre
parcel, whereas formerly a portion of the property was proposed for commercial uses. The
waivers requested were then reviewed, Mr. Brown emphasizing the fact that the extension of
the stub street from the R-1 parcel to the west through subject property would divide the
parcel into two portions, with 154 units proposed on the northerly port3on and 132 units
an the southerly portion - this, then, would mean lot coverage after revised engineering
figures were presented of 5'7~ on the southe:ly portion, although the density for the total
project would be 29.8 dwellin9 units per net residential acre, with the 27.1 dwell.ing units
for the northerly portion and 33.7 dwellin9 units for the southerly portion per net acre.
However, the Planning Commission and City Council recently considered medium density
residential land use appropriate for this general area under General Plan Amendment No. 97;
it would appear the intent of this approval was to have the property developed transition-
ing from one-family residential adjacent to the existing R-1 to low-medium and then the
remainder to medium density. Therefore, the Commission would have to deLermine whether
the proposed development would conform to the land use policies expressed under General
Plan Amendment No. 97.
Mr. A. R. McDaniel, agent for the petitioner and the proposed developer, appeared before
the Commission and noted thet plans'submitted were besically what was proposed; that the
units would be rented to adults only and no provisions were made for children; that the
southerly;portion had been submitted with incorrect figures, and because of the recalcula-
ti'on,'the coverage was now 5'7%; that the transition from low to medium density as stated in
the Report to the Commission was not proposed because the overall project would be lower in
density than permitted by the R-3 Code; that the property had been approved previously for
a planned residential development and commerr.ial uses - however, the proposed development
would be for residential use for the entire parcel; that no two-sta~-y construction was
proposed within 150 feet of the R-1 - therefore, he urged that the Commission consider
subject reclassification favorably.
Mr. L1oyd Trapp, representing the petitioners, appeared before the Commission and noted
that subject property was part of an estate held in ~oint ownership by six persons, and
because of the death~.of their parents, numerous debts had occurred - therefore, it was
necessary to dispose of the property; tha~ tne proposed development o.f the property would
be something that as former owners they would feel proud of as being a.n asset to the area;
and that he would be available to answer quesi:~ons.
The Commission noted that on a previous petition heard at this hearing, the Commission
had denied waiver of the lot coverage - therefore the Commissian could not grant the
proposed request without giving preferential consideration to the petitioner.
The petitioner then requested that Assistant City Attorney John Dawson again review for
the petitioner end the developer the necessary showings the Commission must consider in
granting variances.
Upon completion of the review of the showings of the variance request, the Commission
then asked the engineer wheLner the developer could meet the maximum lot coverage permitted
since no hardship had been proven that the development of the parcel was hampered by unusual
size and shape:of the parcel.
Mr. McDaniel noted that the proposed lot coverage on the southerly portion was arrived at
after a number of conferences with the staff; that in the design of the proje^.t every
attempt had been made to comply with the Code requirements, and the proposed waiver was
only 2~; over that permitted; and that the proposed development was the best use of the
property in making a most presentable overall development, Furthermo*e, that in the
~ pa;t, the Commission had allowed carports to be constructed ad,jacent to property lines

protection of the R-1 around th

Commissioner Herbst inquired whether or not the property had been zoned for R-3 at the

Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that the property had a resolu-
tion of intent for R-3 for a portion of the property, which proposed a planned residential
development, and G1 for the balance; however, this petition requested R-3 for the entire
development:

REPORTS:AND - ITEM N0. L
RECOMMENDATIONS SPECIAL USE PERMIT N0. 89 -,Request for approval of plans
for expansion of an existing church`facility - St. Boniface .
Parish - Property located noith and west of the northwest
corner of Harbor Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue - Presently
zoned C-2 and P-1.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Brown reviewed the location of subject property and
the uses established in close proximity, noting.that the original parish hall had been
demolished and removed from the site, and the plans submitted by the petitioner indicated
the new parish hall is proposed to be constructed on the northeast portion of the property
fronting on Harbor Boulevard; that Harbor Boulevard had been fully dedicated to-its ulti-
mate width of 45 feet; that the new structure's front setback was proposed at 5 feet from
the right-of-way line, whereas the F-1~Zone would require a 20-foot front setback from
arterial streets, and the new commercial facilities now being constructed along Harbor
Boulevard were required to have a 10-foot structural setback in accordance with the site
development standards of the Anaheim commercial zones for ultimate aiterial right-of-way.
Consequently, it would appear to be inequitable to require any church structure to be
set back the 20 feet required in the P-1 Zone; however, the minimum normal 10-foot set-
back requirement should be complied with as it pertained to the proposed structure.
Mr. Earl Nellison appeared•before the Commission to represent St. Boniface Parish, noting
that the pastor of the church was out of town; that the request fox a structural setback
of 5 feet from the right-of-way line was necessary because any relocation of the structure
would require it to use a pori:ion of the parish grade school playground; that it had been
the original intent to keep the old structure and reface it, but he had encouraged that
the old structure be removed and a new structure developed; that the existing school had
been resurfaced to match the church, and the proposed parish hall was necessary to provide
a meeting place for teenage youngsters - therefore he requested favorable consideration
of the proposed 5-foot setback from the right-of-way line since it was their desire to
have a planter box instead of a 10-foot landscaped area which would be a catch-all for
debris. •
The Commission, upon reviewing the plans, noted that the additional setback of 5 feet
would have very little effect upon encroaching into the schooL area since, by redesign,
this 5 fee.t;could be applied to the'northerly portion of the~ structure.
The Commission further inquired the number of parishioners who were members of the church
and how many,students were now in the classes.
Mr. Nellison noted that the St. BonifGce Parish had a membership of 2700 families, and
the school'had 640 students, with a potential for 700 students if subject building were
utilized for an assembly hall, and that they were attempting to provide a similar type
of facility as the YMCA, but they did not wish to remove some of the grade school front
yard and play area.
The Commission further noted that approval of the proposed plans with a 5-foot building
setback might establish an undesirable precedent for the Harbor Boulevard redevelopment,
and regardless of whether this would be for a church school or a commercial development,
to consider any future street widening would be difficult if less than 10 feet were
permitted, and with Harbor Boulevard bein9 a main arterial through the City, in all like-
lihood it would be necessary in the future to require further dedication for street
widening purposes.
Mr. Nellison noted that many of the lots along Harbor Boulevard would be unable to estab-
lish a 10=foot setback because of their exieting lot depths.
Zoning Superyisor Ronald Thompson noted ttiat the 10-foot setback was a requirement in
the',zone, and #ew of the buildings that were in existence on Harbor Boulevard were less
than the,l0 feet, and those south of the police station, upon reconversion, were required
to have a minimum of a 10-foot setback.
Mr. Ulysses Bauer, architect of the proposed new parish hall, appeared.before the Commission
and noted that dedication to the ultimate width for Harbor Boulevard of 45 feet had already
been mede; that the service station existing at the northeast corner of Harbor Houlevard
and Lincoln Avenue was on a ten-year lease; that design of the proposed parish hall could
give the 10-foot setback, but ,the church membership was unwilling to encroach into the
front yard area of the school - however, the suggestion made that the storage room should
be relocated to the northerly part of the building might be taken into consideration.
Furthermore, although they were not stating that the proposed requirement of the 10-foot
setback could not be accomplished, they would prefer having the 5-foot setback and the
planter proposed for the landscaped portion of the 5-foot setback was 3 to 4 feet high.

(Continued) recommend the same to the City Council as General Plan Amendment
No. 110. "
Mr. Krieger then reviewed Area Development Plan No. 45, revised, which proposed the exten-
sion of the stub end of Hi1da Street westerly to Sunkist Street, noting that it would
provide a very desirable third outlet for the 176 R-1 homes existing to the east and north
of the stub end street, regardless of the land use proposed or approved for the vacant
10-acre parcelwhich the proposed extension would bisect.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Browa reviewed the location of subject property and the
uses established in close proximity, noting that the petitions were continued from the
meeting of November 4 in order to allow the staff time to advertise the General Plan
amendment and the area development plan, and to include the Sall Road frontage property
also owned by the petitioner (this Ball Road property was omitted in error from the
readvertised legal description and will be considered as a separate petition by the
Planning Commission on Deeember 16, 1966).
~ Mr. Brown reviewed what the petitioner proposed:and the w2ivers requested, noting that
lot coverage would be approximately 51~, which was within the coverage permitted under
the R-3 Zone but was 11~ over that permitted under the planned residential development
resolution; that the waiver of the one-story height limitation was from properties to the
south and west which were under the jurisdiction of the County, and in all likelihood would
be developed for other than low-density residential use; that the waiver of the m9.nS.mum
distance between buildings applied to the carport and main structure separation, and al-
though it did not meet ~od~a, it did provide more open space and recreation.area in the oenter
living area of the pro~ect; and that the accessory buildings were proposed to be located
within the front 75~ of the side property lines - however, it would appear that the carports
would provide a more effective screening between the R-1 and R-3 than a 6-foot masonry wall,
as'well as placing the carports closer'to the individual dwelling units. Therefore, the
primary;issue before the Planning Commission was that of land use and whether the proposed
development with a density of 26 dwelling units per net residential acre would pmvide an
acceptable lahd use transition where it was contiguous to the existing single-family homes.
Mr. A. R. McDaniel, representing the petitioner and the proposed developer of the property,
Mr. Yoder, appeared before the Commission and noted they were in agreement with the Report
to the Commission as to conditions, and that he was available to answer questions. Further-
more, he requested permission to rebut any opposition presented.
Chairman Allred inquired as to the number of persons present in opposition to subject
petition, and a showing of hands indicated approximately 75 persons present in the Council
Chamber, all in opposition.
Mr. John McCloucl, 2547 Strong Place, appeared before the Commission i~ opposition and noted
that although the opposition was not organized, this was a"grass roots" mw ement wherein
all single-family homeowners were vitally concerned as to the proposed utilization of the
vacant'property at the northeast corner of Sunkist Street and Ball Road. He then described
the area surrounding subject property, noting that many of the homes in the area were in
great demand for resale, and the new homes immediately to the north of subject property
were now being sold, costing between $35,000 and $40,000, and the proposed apartment devel-
opment would not enhance the livin9 environment of these new homes.
Mr. McCloud then noted that approximately three years ago when the Planning Commission had
conaidered the'property at the northeast corner of State College Boulevard and Ball Road,
they-indicated at that time they were not in favor of additional apartment development in
the area, and, therefore, the.opposition present at the public hearing tonight was to
oppose any additional epartment development in the area which would not be in keeping with
the character of the neighborhood; that the plans indicated a crowded type of development,
with no standard street and with accessory buildings entirely too close to the residential
homes; that the density proposed was considerably more than presently existed, and this
would mean a considerable increase in traffic; that although Sunkist Street was considered
an arterial street, traffic many times during the day was backed up fifteen to sixteen
cars 3n order to gain access either to the east or west on Ball Road; there was an existing
school to the northwest of subject property,' and approval of an increase in density would
mean an increase in traffic and create considerable hazards for the children going to and

GENE3~pL PLAN - from scho~l - however, his main objection was to the fact that the
AMENDMENT N0. 110 proposed development was not in conformance with the General Plan,
AREp DEVELOPNI~NT and since the opposition were also taxpayers who would be losing
PLAN N0. 45 through depreciation of the value of their property, he urged the
RECLASSIFICATIOId Commission to seriously consider the single-family homeawners' will

CONDITIONAL' USE
PERMIT N0. 1069 Chairman Allred inquired as to the number of persons present in
(Continued) favor, and a ehowing of hands indicated five persons, who represented
the petitioner, the agent, or the developer.
Mr. Stuart Noble, 2526 Whidby Lane, appeared before the Commission in opposition and noted
that his property was immediately to the north of subject property, and although he
realized subject property would not be vacant indefinitely, the proposed use was incompati-
ble with the existin9 uses already established; ~hat one of his neighbors had moved from
Ohio, and prior to purchas~ng his home in the new subdivision to the north of subject
property, had visited the Plannin9 and Zoning Division of the City Hall to determine what
was proposed to the south and southwest of subject property and had been informed that
low-density residential was indicated on the General Plan, but in his particular instance,
he had relocated from an area near R-3 development to a quieter area in order to get away
from the noises R-3 developments projected; that the homes in the tract in which he resided
were valued at from ~33,000 to $37,000, and the builder af ~these homes had sold approxi-
mately two-thirds of the homes prior to the completion of the homes - therefore he could
be considered a success in building a good and expensive home in a good neighborhood;
that subject property would still be appropriate for single-family residential use which
would project approximately between 26 and 30 homes for this area and would not be in
variance with the General Plan; that all the persons present were in opposition to multiple-
family developme~it, but none had seen the plans proposed except for those who had visited
the City Hall and requested that the plans be posted on the wall so that all interested
persons could review the plans. Furthermore, he had submitted several petitions of opposi-
tion with well over 100 names, as well as a number of letters which individuals had sub-
mitted, indicating their personal opposition.
The Commission then inquired of Mr. Noble whether or not it was his opinion he was opposed
to other than low-density residential use for the property; whereupon Mr. Noble replied
that since he was speaking for himself only in response to the question, it was his feeling
that the property adjacent to Ba11 Road should not be denied commercial zoning.
The Commission then inquired whether or not Mr. Noble felt low-density residential uses
adjacent to commercial uses and the freeway off-ramp might not be undesirable, to which
Mr. Noble replied that many of the homes on Hilda Street were.already adjacent to the
proposed off-ramp, and, therefore, this could not be the criteria for approving subject
petition.
I Commissioner Farano then noted that the Commission was a±~empting to obtain the opinion
of the residents adjacent to the off-ramp.
Mr. Noble noted that he was a real estate loan broker and he knew certain savings and loan
companies would never loan money to expected purchasers of homes where they were adjacent
to apartments end~or freeway off-ramps; although a number of homes in this area were
backing up to the off-ramp, and although this might not be desirable, the owners of the
property were well aware of what Nas proposed adjacent to their property.
Mr. Noble then,in response to further question3ng relative to his experience as a real
estate loan broker, noted that the integrity of the area and the value of the homes in
the axea would be better maintained if R-1 backed up to R-1 and then transitio~ed to
R-2-5000 adjecent to the commercial use - however, since was his own opinion and not
the feelings of the others, and since the General Plan indicated low-density residential
uses with persons in the area purchasing their homes on the basis that this area would
be retained for low-density uses, it was his considered opinion that the entire area
should remain R-1.
Mr. Harold Heiman, 2627 Whidby Lane, appeared before the Commission in bpposition and
noted,tha~ he was the former President of the Anaheim-Rio Vista Homeowners Association
and hed formerly lived west of Sunkist Street - however, he now lived approximately
fifteen yards from the freeway right-of-way and when he moved into this area, he was
fully aware the freeway would be constructed there, but he felt the area was an outstand-
ing residential area in the City of Anaheim, and the homes and yards were beautifully
maintained; that the City Council had approved the Fredricks Development apartments on
the north side of Lincoln Avenue, east of Sunkist Street, maintaining that single-family
residential use was not appropriate adjacent to the freeway - however, there were well
over 100 homes abutting the freeway right-of-way between South Street and the on and

. GENERAL PLAN - off-ramp area on Ball Road, and the reasoning that single-family
AMENDMENT N0. 110 residential use was not appropriate adjacent to a freeway could
`AREA DEVELOPMENT be discounted, and the entire area should remain for low-density
PLAN N0. 45 single-family residential use from the existing R-1 tract northerly
RECLASSIFICATION of subject property to Ball Road. Furthermore, he was opposed to any
N0: 68=69-29 more service stations and commercial development since the east Anaheim
CONDITIONAL USE area was overly saturated with commercial uses and service stations
PERMIT'N0. 1069 were not an asset to a residential area.
(Continued)
The Commission advised the opposition that the service station site
at the northeast corner of Ball Road and Sunkist S~reet had been
approved by the County of. Orange prior to any consideration of annexation to the City of
Anaheim - therefore the Commission had no jurisdiction as to previous commercial uses.
Mr. Heiman noted that none of the property owners had been advised by the County that a
service station was proposed for the northeast corner of Ball Road and Sunkist Street.
Furthermore, since single-family residential use had been established in the.area, using
the freeway as a criteria for granting heavier density should not be considered.
Mr. Summerville, 2617 Gelid Court, appeared before the Commission in opposition and noted
that the legal notices were being mailed as third class mail and that if he had not seen
someone posting the property, he would have discarded the legal notice - therefore, he
recommended that all legal notices be sent first class mail.
Mr. Henry Labord, 2546 Strong Place, appeared before the Commission in opposition and
noted that he had moveci to Anaheim approximately two years ago and selected the area in
which he was residing because of the beautifulsurroundings and the residential integrity
of the area; that he had four children and was also concerned about the best area for
rearing child•ren and the school facilities; that the Commission could note by the number
of persons present their deep concern relative to the proposed development; that he was
opposed to the method of posting the legal notices on the property, noting that he had
observed someone nailing the no~ice in the dark, and then inquired of his wife whether
~ or not something had been receivp~ in the mail relative to any proposal for the area
other than low-density resident3;:i use.
The Commission inquired of the'staff the practice of posting the properties under considera-
tion for public hearing.
Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson advised the Commission that he found it difficult to
believe that the representative of the Zoning Division, Mr. West, would post the property
a great distance away from the street; that as a rule, large parcels such as subject
property were posted with at least three notices - therefore one would be on Ball Road
and possibly two on Sunkist Street; and as to posting in the dark, this seemed a possi'nility,
and with the dayti.ne hours limited, it was possible this could have been posted after 4:30
in the afternoon since the posting was begun approximately at 1:30, and if a considerable
distance of the City had to be covered by Mr. West, the timing might be nearer to sunset
or whe.~ an area was almost in darkness.
Mr, Jim Steltzler, 130 South Laramie Street, appeared before the Commission, noting that
although he ar*ived somewhat late and @id not hear all the presentation, he was extremely
concerned relative to any increase in the number of school children into the existing
elementary schools; that there were two elementary schools and a junior high school and
a senior high school, and projections of a heavier density than originally established
when the schools were built might create an overload on the school classrooms; that South
Junior High School had to move into bungalows to take care of the additional students not
anticipated by the school district - therefore consideration should be given by the
Commission as to adding to an already overcrowded situation in the schools.
Chairman Allred advised the opposition that according to statistics compiled by both the
Development Service5 Department and the school board, properties zoned R-1 and developed
with single-family homes usually had more children per acre than apartment developments.
Mr. Richard Barr, 2623'Whidby Lane, appeared before the Commission and noted that no
mention had been made relative to extending Hi1da Street abutting subject property westerly;
-.that since most of the people in this area now had access to Sunkist Street from Paladin
and Maverick Avenues and had been utilizing this access for the past six years, there was
no logicaT reason for opening up Hilda Street and extending it to Sunkist Street since
this would encourage commercial and apartment uses of a local residential area; that he
had originally resided on Pacific Avenue when he first moved to Anaheim and had relocated
because of the approval of apartments in the area and subsequent construction of these
apartments; that after considerable searching of the records, he had found the homes on
these cul-de-sac streets east of Hilda Street would be abutting the proposed Orange

City Engineering Representative Jay Titus advised the opposition that from a traffic
engineer's viewpoint, the existing streets,were adequate to carry the existing traffic;
however, another consideration in resolving circulation of an area was to have easy access
to an area £or emerqency vehicles, such as police, fire, and ambulance service, and this
was the prime consideration at the time it was determined Hilda Straet should be extended
to Sunkist Street.
~ Mr. Magrun then noted that since there already was a fire station at Ball Road, westerly
of Sunkist Street, access to the residential development easterly of subject property
could be made almost as quickly from Paladin or Maveric;; Avenues
i
The Commission then noted that as long as automobiles were a part of everyday life of
Southern California, the need for adequete circulation would be an ever present problem.
Mr: R. J. Shrader, 3744 Hermosa Place, Fullerton, appeared before the Commission and noted
that it was not their desire to deteriorate the area with low quality apartments; that
they planned to maintain the one-story height limitation within 150 feet of the R-1 and
to enclose;the entire deyelopment both to the nortn, ~ast and south, since they were also
desirous of maintainin9 the residential integrity of the apartments in the area; that
both the carports and the;one-story apartments would have tiled roofs`and the entire motif
of the development would be Spanish decor with considerable landscaping; that it was pro-
po'sed to have only 51% coverage, whereas many single-family homes covered considerably
more; that in the design it was planned not to have windows adjacent to where homes were
located in order to assure privacy of the single-family homes; and that the propose~
development would have private patios, and it was proposed to have alleys of a minimum of
30 feet which would be around.the periphery of the proposed development and would provide
adequate fire protection; and that they were not desirous of having low density residential
development and the proposed apartment traffic intermixed by the extensiorn of Hilda Street
even though they were accepting drainage from this street across subject property at the
time the property was developed.
Mr. Shrader further noted that the property fronting on Ball Road proposed for commercial
uses would be retained by the petitioner end the apartments would also act as a buffer
between the commercial and the residential uses.
Mr. Heiman then inquired what the rental was proposed for these apartments, to which
Mr. Shrader replied the one-bedroom agartments would be renting for $135 a month and
the two-bedroom apartments at $170 per month.
- Mr. Heimarr then noted that the rentals proposed could not compare with the rental of
the types of homes in this erea if they were`being sented; furthermore, the turnover of
apartments was considerable, and the owners would be less reluctant to move since moving
from one home to another entailed considerable expense.
A discussion was then held between Mr. Heiman and Mr. Shrader relative to taxes as they
pertained to the various acreages and single-family homes; whereupon Chairman Allred
advised the opposition that the Commission could not consider any difference in taxes
as they perteined to the proposed request since it was the duty of the Commission to
deteanine whether or not the use proposed was e good land use, and, therefore, recommended
that any comments made should be limited to whether or not the proposed development was a
good land use for subject property.
Mr. Noble then inquired of Mr. Shrader whether or not it was their intent to retain the
proposed apartment'development and whether or not a similar layout was developed within
the City.or close by which the opposition could view to determine what effect it would
have and whether or not this was adjoining single-family residential use.

CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT N0: 1069 . Mr. Titus advised the Commission that the property along Ball Road
(Continued) would have a 75-foot frontage westerly of the off-ramp.
Considerable discussion was then held relative to the proposed General Plan amendment, and
upon its conclusion; Commissioner Herbst offered Resolutiop No. PC68-341 and moved £or its
passage and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Mungall, to recommend to the City Council
that:General P1an Amendment No. 110 be approved, depicting commercial along the Ball Road
frontage,'low-medium density to the extension of Hilda Street, and low-density northerly
of Hi1da Street, said exhibit to be prepared by the staff and marked Extiibit "C", basing
the approval of this on the fact that the northeast corner of the intersection of Ball
Road and Sunkist Street had already been approved for a service~station site; that the
frontage along Ball Road westerly of the off-ramp would allow a 75-foot accessway - there-
fore the maximum that could be developed on Ball Road would be a small commercial use;
that si~gle-family residential uses immediate,ly adjecent to the off-ramp would not be '
compatible; that the Commission recommends consideration be given to R-2-5000 backing up
to the commercial uses under the low-medium designation, thereby separating the commercial
and the low-density residential use with a fully dedicated street and also eliminate
multiple-family development for the portion of the property proposed between the commercial
frontage and the extension of Hilda Street. (See Resolution Book)

Commissioner Herbst offered Resolut~on No. PC68-342 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Farano, to recommend to the City Council that Area Development
P1an No. 45, revised, Exhibit "A", be approved, proposing the extension of Hi1da Street
westerly from its present terminus to Sunkist Street as being a desirable additional
vehicular outlet from the existing single-family area to the north and east, regardless
of the land use proposed for the vacant 10-acre parcel. (See Resolution Book) ~

NOTE: Although the Commission originally approved C-l zoning for the Ball Road frontage
of property that was to have been legally adverti'sed, since the legal advertisement was
incorrect and did not include the Ba11 Road frontage, the recommendation of the Commission
could not be forwarded to the City Council in the opini'on of the City Attorney. Further
more, although the Commission was desirous' of recommending approval of R-2-5000 and R-1
for the_portion of subject property legally advertised, because tfie metes'and bounds of
`the property as indicated on the General Plan amendment were not specific,`this recom-
mendation could not be made to the Council.
Commissioner Herbst offered Resolution No. PC68-344 and moved for its passage and adoption,
seconded by Commissioner Farano, to deny Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 1069 on
the basis tha~ the proposed lend use of a multiple-family planned residential development
would be incompatible with the General Plan recently proposed for amendment and the land
uses,in the area. (See Resolution Book)

.RECOMMENDATIONS - ITEM N0. 2 (Continued) ~~
'Commissioner Heibst offered:a motion to recommend to'the City Council denial of the ;~
revised plens presented .to the Commission for consideration under Conditionel Use
Permi ~~
t No. 1050. This motion failed for want of e seco.:~. j~
Considerable discussion was~~then held by the Commission as to the appropriateness of y}~
the three-story development with the density proposed, inherent traffic problems, uses "~
developed .in the.aiea as a result of the R-3 zoning on subject property, and whether
` or not a reduction in zoning should be considered; however, if this change in zoning ~,
were initiated.by the City, it could establish an undesirable precedent for similar ~
`"down zoning" in the future; and that the petitioner should not be penalized for retain- r~~
ing investment property purchased with R-3 zoning by denying him permission to develop
the property within the requirements of the zone established on the property. ~
r:
Mr.,Frank Horny, the petitioner, then appeared before the Commission and reviewed a '
similar project in the City of Covina, located on a four-acre parcel, said city having
the same height restrictions as the City of Anaheim, although these were waived. He
further indicated the proposed development was planned after considerable research
studies were made which indicated that there was a definite need for this type of oevel- ,
<
opment in Anaheim.
At.the conclusion of the discussion by the Commission, they then inquired whether or
not the petitioner would be agreeable to develop the property with 200 units and still "'"'~r,
' retain the architectural amenities proposed under the plans. This, then, would eliminate
the waiver of minimum building site area per dwelling unit and, consequently, the number
of units`per net acre.
N ;:
Mr.'Knisely then advised the Commission that the petitioner would agree to development ~"
of the property with 200 units and plans would be amended only to reflect the reduction
of'the 25 units from the entire development and still retain the proposed architectural ~
amenities. I
Commissioner Farano offered a motion to recommend to the City Council if Conditional I
sUse.Permit No: 1050 were considered favorably by them, plans marked Exhibit Nos. 1 and 2, ~"i,
Revision No: 3, be approved subject to denial of waiver of Section 18.32.050(2) - Minimum
:.building site`area per dwelling unit - on the basis that the minimum building site, by d
stipulation'of the petitioner, would be developed with 200 units, thereby bringing this ,,;
requiiement within the intent of the R-3 Zone requirements, and subject to the conditions
set fozth in the report by the Development Services Department-Zoning Division to the '~
City'Council; however, amending Condition No. 13 by adding the following: :%
"provided, however, that only 200 units shall be =:%
developed on subject property, as stipulated to
by the petitioner".
Commissioner Camp seconded the motion, and on roll call the foregoing resolution passed
unanimously by the Commissioners present. (Commissioner Rowland was absent)
ADJOURNMENT
`
- There being no further business to discuss, Comi:~issioner
Camp offered a motion to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner
Mungall seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
