SECRETARY ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING CONIl~fISSION
VARIANCE N0. 2149 - CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING. MARGARET S. WRIGHT, P. 0. Box 425, Anaheim,
California, Owner; requesting WAIVERS OF (1) REQUIRED P~ARKING TO THE
REAR OF A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE, (2) REQUIRED LANDSCAPING OF THE FRONT
SETBACR AREA, AND (3) REQUIRED 6-FOOT MASONRY WALL ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, TO
PERMIT THE CONTINUED CO1~QiERCIAL USE OF A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE on property described as:
A rectangalarly shaped parcel of land located at the northeast corner of Euclid Street
and Catherine Drive, having approximate froatages of 100 feet on Euclid Street and 55
feet on Catherine Drive, being located approximately 675 feet south of the centerline of
L9 Pa1ma Avenue, and further deacribed as 924 North Euclid Street. Property presently
classified C-1, GENERAL COIAfERCIAL, ZONE.
Subject petition was continued from the meetings of Pebruary 9 and March 9, 1970, to
allow the petitioner time to resolve developmental problema.
Assistaat 2oning Supervisor Malcolm Slaughter reviewed the location of subject property,
uses established in close proximity, and the reason for previous continuances. It was
also noted`that the staff had met with the petitioner in an attempt to resolve the problem
areas set forth by the Planning Commission, and as a result a new plot plan had been sub-
m'tted which indicated two co~v~ered parking spaces in the garage and three apen parking
spaces in the front setback area; with access being provided from Catherine Drive; that
an attempt had been made to add additional parking spaces in the rear portioa of thR lot
having access from the private alley adjacent to the shopping center to the north -
however, this was only an 11-foot wide alley, and a mutual easement agreement had not
been obteinable, thus due to these factors, the size of the property, and the location
and extent of.the existing structure,' it svas impossible to design more than five parking
spaces, alt~ough a minimum of six was needed for the uaes established in the atructure -
however, waiver of the number of parking spaces had not been advertiseel, and if the
Commisaion considered subject petition favorably, then subjer.t petitioa~ should be con-
tinued for readvertising. Furthermore, the one-foot landscaping strip ~proposed for
Catherine Drive would be inadequate to support screen lan~:scaping for t:he parking area
without considering the additional 29. landscaping required for the interior parking area.
Dr. Edward Ross, 924 North Euclid Street, appeared before the Commission and stated he
was a tenant of the peEitioner, who had asked him to appear in her behalf siace she was
iYl; that the petitioner had advised him the waiver of the required 6-foot masonry wali
would be withdrawn and she would stipulate to construction af said wall along the east
property line - however, landscaping would be as indicated on the revised plans since
it would be impossi~le to meet Code requirements and still provide parking.
Pir. Buren Myls:, 1633 Catherine Drive, appeared before the Co~isston and stated he still
insisted upon the 6-fa~t masonry wall along the east property line which was adjacent to
his property - ho~tever, he was not opposed to the waiver of the parkin~; and landscaping.
Furthermore, it was his understanding from the statements of the repr.esentative of the
~petitioner that the wall along the east property line was intended to be constructed
only from .~the existing woodea fence to the south property line.
The Co~ission advised the oppoaition that the petitioner had indicated they would construct
the wall for the east property line.
Zonin,g Supervisor Charles Roberta noted for the Commission that the wall separating
co~ercial and residential uses had to be stepped down to 30 or 42 inches in the froiit
setback rather than the 6-foot height, and this was aecessary for pedestrian safet3-.
Furthermore, the C-1 Zone required that screen Pandscaping be planted adjacent to xtee
wall in the front setback for additional buffering.

MINUTES,.CITY PLANNING COI~SISSION, Apri1 6,.1970 5084
VARIANCE N0. 2149 - Considerable discussion was held by the Commission, staff, and City
_(Continued) Attorney repres~ntative Frank Lowry regarding the method in which
~iver of the required parking could be reaolved,.and at i.ts con-
~+Yusion it was determined.it would be necessary to readvertise this
waiver if the petitioner were unable to resolve the shortage.
Co~issioner Gauer was of the opinion.that:tliere were too many businesses in the amall
structure; therefore, the number of parking sparea becamc difficult to meet.
Mr. Slaughter advised the Commission that the existing uses required aix sp.:_,:,a, and if
the.required C-1 landscaping were made a condition of approval, then an additional park-
~ ing space.would be eliminated, leaving only £our spaces.
The Commission further noted that ~the existing etructure presently encroache~? into t~-e
ultimate.right-of-way of Euclid Street and inquired vhether or not there was any plan
_to widea Euclid Street in the near future, where the petitioner already had an encroach-
ment permit; and the length of time the petitioner would be allowed to encroach inta the
ultimate right-of-wsy.
Mr. Lowry adviaed the Commission that said encroachment permit could be revoked whenever
the City Council deemed it aecessary for street purposes.
Mr. Roberts noted that the City Council approved zoning on subject property in 1966,
with a condition otE approval being dedication of an additional 3 feet for ultimate street
widening purpoaes; however, under that proposal, the petitioner had iAdicated the exist-
ing structure yrould be removed and a new structure would replace it. Furthermore, the
zoning was accomplished, and the petitioner was still using the existing sCructure which
encroached into the ulKimate right-of-way and was contrary to the action tak~n by the
City Cou~cil. ' .
Office Engineer Jay Titus advised the Commiasion that plans for widening of Euclid Street
were in progress and nearing completion, wherein the cttreet width vould cut through
approximately 4 feet of the exiating building.
Mr. Roberis noted that.the only permit granted by the Planning Co~ission and City Council
for the use of the existing atsucture was under a variance in 1959, wherein approval for
uae of two sooms for office purposes was granted.
Co~isaioner Herbst inquired whether or not subject petition dould be granted with a time
limitation since it would be impossible to allow the building to remain for an indefinite
period of time with ultimate atreet widening planned for Euclid Street; whereupon Mr. Lowry
stated that the time limitation could be granted.
Commissioners Farano and Gauer were of the opinion that the petitioner had allowed too
many office uaes for the atructure, thereby creatiag her own problem by overloading the
property, using th~ front aetback for parking purposes and eliminating the landscaping,
and to grant subject petition even for a short time vould only compound the existing
problem, as well as aet a precedent for similar use of homes throughout the City which
front or aide-on arterials.
Comnissioner Gauer offered Reaolution No. PC70-54 and moved for its passage and adoption
to deny Petition for Variance No. 2149 on the basis that subject property was too small
to provide for the number of basiness uses establiahed on the property and still maintain
the minimum site development standards of the zone; that the C-1 Zone pe~itted only
li.mited co~ercial uaes.of a residence and required maintenance of setbacks and Iandscap-
ing so that the resideatial integrity of the area was retained; that the C-1 Zone had been
approved on the property oa statements of the petitioner:that the existing structure would
be nemoved and a standard coumiercial structure built - however, thf~s was not accomplished,
and the petitioner was in violation of the C-1 Ord3nance; that the petitioner had not
demons'trated a hardship exiated in that adjoining property owners were enjoying a substan-
tial property right, and the petitioner was being denied this right; and that granting
subject petition would establish an undesirable precedent for similar requests fzom other
~omeowners whc+ae properties fronted or sided on arterials, thus granting a privilege not
enjoyed bq r2hers. (See Resolution Book)

Subject petition and tract were continued from the meet~ngs of March 9 and 23, 1970, ia
order to allow the petitioner time to.resolve certain engineering and site development
problems connected with this proposal.

VARIANCE N0. 2166 - PUBLIC HEARING. FRANK D'ALESSANDRO, 119 Queensbury Street, Anaheim,
California, Orcner; requeating WAIVER OF PERMITTED USES IN TAE R-1
ZONE TO PERMIT A CONVALESCENT-REST HOME on property desrribed as:
An irregularly shaped parcel of land having a frontage uf approximately 55 feet on the
weat aide'of Queensburq Street, having a maximum depth of approsimately 149 feet, and
being generally located northeast of the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Rio Vista
Street, and-further described as 119 Queensbury Street. Propertq preaently alassified
R-1, ONE-FAMII,Y RESIDENTIAL, ZONE.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Mal~olm Slaughter reviewed for the Commission the location of
subject property, uses established in close~proximity, and the proposal to permit utiliza-
tion of a single-family residential home as a convalescent-rest home for six women in
addition to the petitioaer and his wife; that board and room would be provided for these
guests while tney were convaleacing from hospital treatment of one form or another; that
none of the propoeed guests, now or in the future, weuld have case histories involving
mental problems; that plans submitted with the application indicated the petitioner's
home coneisted of £ive bedrooms, two batha, living room, family room, kitchen, and large
recreation room; that the Anaheim MunicipaY Code defined a"family" as an individuel, or
two or more persons related by•blood or marriage, 9r a group of not more than five persons,
excluding servants, who are not related by blood or marriage, living together as a single
hausekeeping unit in a dwelling unit; and that the City Attorney's office had.indicated
that in essence this definition stated that when unrelated people were living as a"family",
the number of people living in said residence may not exceed a total of five - therefore,
the petitioner's wiah to establish eight unrelated persona residing at this residence
no longer qualified tk~em as a"family", and, instead, would be classified as a conval-
escent or rest home in this particular rase. Furthe~ore, the petitioners had been caring "
for convalescing patieats in their home for approximately two years, and as far as staff
could determine, there have been no complaints to date from surrounding residents regard-
ing the use - therefore, the Cormniasioa would have to determine whether the requested'use
would ba appropriate in the R-1 area, and particular consideratioa should be given to
possible ramifications as to future requests for even larger care facilities in a single-
family azea.
Mr. Frank D'Alessandro, the petitioner, appeared before the Co~ission and stated his
wife worked wi~h the State in the rehabilitation of patients; that the only reason the
request was before the Co~ission was because it was their desire to have six patients
since two patients per room was proposed for each bedroom; that it was not their ir_tei:t
to establish s convaleacent home per se, but only to give apparently cured patients a
"jamping off place" between tiie hosp3tal and the mainstream of life again.
The Commission inquired whether or not the State compensated Y.he petitioner for c_r~ oE
thESe patients; whereupon the petitioner replied in t~z affirmative, noting that or.I,;

` VARIANCE'NOr 2166~-`$150,per month per patieat was received, which herdly covered the
`(Continued) 'expenses involved..
The,Commission then noted that since compensation was received this was considered a
business operation;in the R-1 Zone; that sabject.property was l.ocated among many very
attractive:homes, and granting subject.petition, permitting a business establishmeat,
would-be detrimental to-these residents.
The"'petitioner stated that,if subject"petition were not approved, they would revert+ro
having only five patients;'that all the patients were ambulatorq and occasionally walked
to the store; that.they were assigned ho~sehold duties and none had automobiles; that
if inedical care were needed, he or his wife took them to.the physiclan's office; that the
families of'the patients nsually picked them up for a day's visit at home; and then in
responae to Commission;questioniug, stated that these.people were fotmerly mentai gatients,
and the State would not release tftem unless they were considered well mentally, and thaE
the petition'was to permiE the sixth'patient. '
Zoning.Supervisor Charles Roberts.advised the Commissioa that clarification should be
noted on this particular point, namely,that the Zoning Ordinance defined a"family" as
being two or more persons related by blood or marriage or five unrelated persons, either
by marriage or blood; that the City Attorney interpreted that since there were two members
related by-marriage, only three additional persons would be permitted - therefore, the
petitioner was somewhat confused when he stated he was permitted to have five patients.
The Commisaion then noted that by right the peCitioner could have three patients, and if
subject petition were approved, this would permit an unspecified number to be housed in
thia home.
The petitioner advised the Co~isaion that the State law required approval of a convalescent
home if more than six patients were proposed for a home; however, their home was used only
on a'family care bseis, and they were only attempting to assiat these unfortuaate persons
to,assi~me their normal r.esponsibilitiea in life; and then noted for the~Commiasion that
although the State al,lowed five persons, they had had four for the past four years and
only five for the past .three months.
The Commission noted they were not trying to be unfair to the petition~er and felt what
was being'done was_for a verq worthwhile purpose, but the Commission's prime consideration
was whether or not this was a proper land use, and since the petitioner was receiving
compensation, thi;s was a business in a.residential area, regardless of whether a profit
was being made...
Deputq City Attorney Frank Lowry adviaed the Co~ission that compensation was not taken
into consideration - it was whether or rc~t the Go,fke was to be interpreted as five un-
related persons living under one roof, snd Aince none of these persons were related to
each other, the petitioner would be allowed oaly three additional persons.
I
i A ahowing of hands indicated twenE ersons
. y p pxesent in opposition to subject petition.
Mr. Henry Sinai, 101 South Trevor, appeared before the Co~ission in opposition and
presented a petition signed by 274 persons, aIl in opposition to sub,ject petition, and
noted .it was the concurrence of the oppoaition that approval of subject petition would
be perm3tting a co~ercial use in a residential tract; that said tract was approximately
six yeara old, and many amall children lived there who would be faced with the possible
traff3c hazard when the increase in the number of cars took place; that the petitioner
did aot live in the house with only his wi€e but also had children; and that although
he did noC incur any problems with the existing use, the adjoining neighbor to the west
had considerable problems,
Mr. Ron Thome, 110 South Queensbury Street, appeared before the Co~ission in opposition
and stated this tract had deed restrictions which prohibited co~ercial uses; that any
increase in traffic would be hazardous to the manq children on their bicycles or those
who often plaqed ball in the street; and t~hat if he had known a business was being
operated in this tract, he would not have sigaed.the papess tc, perchase his home.
The Commission iaquired of Mr. Thome the exact nature of the automobile problem in the
street; whereupon Mr. Thome replied that aot onlq were there four automobiles in the
dtive, but a number vere parked on the street, both on Queensbury and extending to
Belvedere Road last weekend; and that he was primarily concerned that if subject petition
were approved, this s~ould increase the number of vehYcles eatering and leaving this tract,
wllich could be hazardous to the maay children, and the establishment of a precedent where-
by many other businesaes would be requesting permission to use their homes, thus turaing
this very attractive residential tract into a blighted area.

VARIANCE N0:'2166 - Mrs..Roge;,Allen, 106 Glendon.Way, appeared befor;~ the Commiseion in
(Continued) opposition and stated that during't~e summer montns very loud noises
emanated from snbject property.!at aTl hours; that many people had
`; complained that these noises were undesirable,_and`since the patio
of subject property.faced the rear of her.p=opertq, she was subjected to these many
noises; that she did not objecG to the noise-so long as it ebated at a reasonable hour
' because elderly people living nearby.needed their,rest.
The.Commission noted that their prime concern"was whether or not this was a proper land
uae, and wheie undue noises occurred, fhis was a police matter. Furthermore, there was
no'law agsinst:people haying ~arties, and then inquired whether or not these parties
were scheduled on.a regular basis, ~iace this could:be part of the rehabilitation treatment.
Mrs. Allen replied.that the parties were held quite regularly during the summer months,
and perhaps were also held during the wituter months - however, because of the weather
they might be held indoors.
~ The petitiontr, ia rebuttal, stated that the reason for the many vehicles in the driveway
and alonE.the streets last weekend was because e~f a christening.reception, and their
families were invited; that he and his~wlCfe each had a car, and their two children also
~ parked their cars in the driveway or in 'front of the house. However, as to undue noises,
perhaps the four grandahildren who visited them occasionally cried, but there were no
undue noises from parties held on a regular basis.- only from family members visiting:
Mr. Jamea Croff, 2962 Ma1:Court, appeared before.the Co~ission in opposition and stated
that since thts was a variance request for a commercial uae, he urged the Commission to
retain this area for single-family residential-purposes, and that the existing home was
more than adequate to take care of the petitibner 8nd his wife, together with three adult
persons. . Therefore,'there was no need for the room addition which the petitioner made
to hia property, which extended from the garage in the front to the rear of the property.
The C.~mmissioa noted that ainy ~ingle-family homeowner had a right to add to his home so
long"as it was maintained.withi~t the site development standards of the R-1 Zone as to
aetbacks and rear yard requirements.
Mr. Croff noted that if only the:petiticner.aiid his wife resided in the home, there
appeared to be no reason for this.large addition except to increase the number of patients
proposed to be housed in this home.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
A letter was read to the Planning Cormaission by the Co~ission Secretary from the
Comprehensive Health Planning AsaociatioL of Orange County (copy on file) referring to
need for spproval of their assaciation as set forth by the California State Health Council
under Publit Law 89-749 prior to issuance of a State approval license, and the Association's
concern of the rapidly increasing number of convalescent beds in Orange County, an addi-
tional 3,000 beds mostly centered iu the northwest part of the County.
Commisaioner Allred offered Resolution No. PC70-55 a~¢d moved for its passage and adoption
to deny Petition for Variance No. 2166 on the basis that this proposed use would encroach
upon the residential integrity of the area; that ttce particular use was not des.irable to
the living eav~ronment of the area since menq attractive homes were located in this tract;
and that approval of subject petition would establish an undesirable precedent for similar
requests.for co~ercial usea in residential areas, and no '~ardship had been proven 3.n this
particular instance wherehy the petitionet was denied a pri~ilege a#fosded othex property
owners in the area, and if a hardship had been establiahed, this a~~s self-imposed due to
the fac,*, that the petitioner was desirous of expanding the existing use. (See Resolution

larly shaped parcel of,land.located at the southeast corner.of Sta~e Coll~ge Boulevard and
Vermont Avenue, having approximate frontages of"240 feet on 5tate College Boulevard and
100"feet on;Vermont Avenue, and further described as 900, 908, 912, and 916 South State
College Boulevard, be._reclassified`from the R-1, ONE-FAMIL~i RESIDENTIAL, ZONE to the
C-1, 'GENERA:, COlA1ERCIAL, ZONE.'
, : _~.
Assistant.Zoning;Supervisor Malcolm Slaughter reviewed tne iocation of sub,ject property, y
~ uses established in close proximity, and the proposal to reclassify sub~ect pr~perty to t
the.C-1 2one in order'to.develop a neighborhood shopping structure on the three northerly
parceZs, w;th the owner of,the fourth parcel indicating he was not interested in the
concept.plan but was deairous of obtaining C-2 zoning; and that the concept plan submitted
indicated,utilizing the 20-foo~ wide alley easteriy of subjec~ property for access to
parking spaces proposed to the rear of the commercial building, with additional access
from_two.driveways'from State College Boulevard.
Mr. Slaughter, in reviewing the evaluation of the proposal, noted that subject properties
were considered several years ago as part of "The Pro3lem of Residential Homes Fronting
On Arterial Highways", However, the conclusiom reached in that study adopted by the
Planning Commisaion and City Council in 1967 indicated these lots should be retained for
single-family residential uses; that.the Anaheim General Plan reflected these conclusions
by designa~ing this area, extending to Wagaer:'~,venue, as being appropriate for low-density
residential use; that a considerable amount of commercial or commercial-professional zoning,
either developed or undeveloped,'already existed between Ball Road on the south and the
Riverside Freeway on the north, a siCuation which existed throughout the City - therefore,
it'would appear the proposed C-1 zoning was neither necessary or appropriate, and the
Commission must determine whether ar not the proposed zoning request was appropriate, given
the poasible effects this approval would have on adjoining properties wherein commercial
zoning requests would likely be received from the lots fronting on State College Boulevard
between Viking and Vermont Avenuea.
Mr. Mike Garrett, representing the agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Comnission
and noted that the reaT estate agent who did all of the preliminery work had worked closely
with the,staff trying to meet all Ehe recommendations, and from his understanding,at no
time did the,staff discourage the agent from filing the reclassification; therefore, this
should hava some beariag on the proposal.
Chairman Rowlend advised the agent for the petitioner that the staff w~re paid personnel
who were required to assist anymae desirous of applying for a land use change and were
not paid to diacourage a petitioner from filing for a reciassification petition.
Mr, Garrett continued, noting that he wiahed the Co~ission to bear this in mind for any
future similar situations. Furthermore, subject property had been listed for sale for a
number of montha as potential commercial; that the City of Anaheim had never di.scouraged
real estate brokers in the past in an endeavor to sell properties; tha~ the City Manager
on April 1 appeared before the Board of Realtors and stated the realtors were the leaders
in a counuunity, and because of this Anaheim was forging ahead and was projecting a 300,000
population in the future, which was indicative of a progressive city; that he had received
a number of calls from nearby residents regarding the concept plan proposed and inquired
whether any specific type of use had been proposed; that he also owned property on State
College Boulevard and agreed with Co~issioner Gauer that residential homes were not
desirable or appropriate for commercial office space; that commercial property was at a
premium in the east Anaheim area since there were no stores available at the present time;
that the staff's comment of inadequate parking was erroneous since the plaas were revised
in accordance with the staff's recou~endations - therefore, it was his opinion the plaas
were adequate; that concesning the statement made regarding the availability of commercial
land by'the staff, it was his opinion there was not enough coc~mercial land available;
that tY.ere would be no conflict of traffic in the alley used by commercial vehicles since
this situation also existed to the north, near the large shopping center, and seemed to
work out very well; that he questioned the requirement of a corner radius return since
his compan~'s facility at Sycamore and State College Boulevard was not required to provide
this;.and that they were attempting to project into the fature any poteatial commercial
for this area - therefore, no precise plan was submitted.
The Coumdasion inquired of the agent whether or not subject property had been on the market

to fool the bu3iag public-since it was their opinion thi.s was potential cominercial property,
it was listed as such; that theq had not.received any specific requests for property -
however, it was not their plan to sell the property as residences: ••

MINUTES, CITY PIANNINC,COMMISSION, April 6, i970 5089
_RECLASSIFICATION..-~The Commission noted that although the real_estate office had subject
NOr 69-70-49 propertq Tiated for potential commercial for a number of months, there
(Continued) did not seem to.be.any specific-use - therefore, it would seem rather
puzzling that the property was beiag proposed for cou~ercial zor•.ing.
Mr.. Garrett replied that`his•company:was acting as agent to obtain tce reclassification;
•however, this was;not indicative that potential huyers were not available - generally
potential buyers were`more:desirous of not having_to wait for zoni~,g and usually looked
elsewheze:for propertp,which did not>hav.e to be reclassified.
The Commission noted that subject property had been considered at great length wiCh many
other iots ,throughout the city hacing similar,froat-on problems; that said Front-On Study
had been adopted.by the Planning Commission and City.Council after holding pubiic hearings
leas than four years..ago - therefore, the petitioner would have_to iadicate whatrland use
changes.had,occurred in this general area to warran2 aonsideration by ~he Commission of
other than residential use for subject-property..
Mr.;.Garrett.replied that the owners af the property and other residential homes fronting
on State'Goilege Boulevsrd had been subjected to an increase in traffic from 20,000 to
40;.000 vehicles per day, and the traffic•noises were r.ot conducive to residential living,
especially the many heavy trucks traveling on 5tate CoT'Pege Bouleyard; that it was almost
impossible to cross the street during the afternoon rusl: hour between 4:00 and 6:00 P.M.;
and that re did.not feel the traffic could drop even after the Orange Freeway was in use.
Thp Commission then inquired whether or not this was the basis on which the agent for the
petitioner based his proof that a land use change had taken.pluce.
Mr. Garrett replied that in addition to the traffic increase there was also a need for
sdditionel"co~nercial property given the fact that manp industries were developing to
the.south of'Ba1T Road; and that since the City vas considering widening State College
Boulevard'to 93 feec,`even with the advent of the Orange Freeway, this was also indicative
af the.Eype of traffic which this street would experience. "
A showing,:o£ hands indicated nine persons present in oppoaitien to subjecZ petition.
' Mr. Vern Stenley,: 2103 Viking Avenue, appeared before the Co~nnission and presented a
petition signed by 88 persons, a1I in opposition to subject petition and stated he had
been>.esked to represeat the owners of properties to the east and north of subject property;
~ that,a majority of,the people living in these single-family homes were the original owners
of these homes which had been purchased aQproximately fifteen qears ago based upon the fact
Lhat they would be their homes, taking pride in ownership by additions to the homes and
landscaping; that said original owners had purchased their homes intending to live out
their lives t6ere, and 3t would be a disservice to these•hardworking property owners Eo
aubject them to land devaluation if commercial zoning were approved for subject property
which was mainly.sought by speculators who woald not have to live there, but were subject-
ing the other residents to this undesirable aspect; that it was the Commission's responsi-
bility to protect these solid citizens who were the heartbeat of the City, rather than
those who were interested only in the profit they could make from selling the property;
that there were many areas in the City where commercial uses could be established without
attempting to utilize these sma11, 60 by 100-foot lots abutting other lots of similar size;
that the alley between subject property and the property tiu the east was the minimum size
required and under the circumstances would be just wide enough to gain access to the
garage spaces since the alley served both lots to the east, as weYl as those along State
College Boulevard; that it would be tiighly unlikely that trucks could maneuver in this
allep since it was just large enough for passenger automobiles to move; that there were
over 550 persons living in this general area, all in single-family homes, and only two
access points were available to State College Boulevard - therefore, if co~ercial uses
of these Lntersections were permitted, this could create a very undesirable traffic hszard
for automobiles and the many children who went to the park on the west side of State College
$oalevard; that these interaections were necessary for children to go to school on the west
side of State Colleg~ Boulevard; that the signalized intersection was also used by students
goiag to Katella High Schuol; that it was difficult to understand how a co~ercial faciliry
could'operate at a pro£it witt~out adequate parking facilitiea,,nor was.it possible to
determine what Eype of doubEful co~ercial ventures would be located in this facility
which might be.undesirable from the standpoint of parants of children who were not desirous
of subjecting their children to outside influences, such as narcotic pushers who already
had invaded this ge~eral area; that off-street parkin~ was required of those homes on State
College Boulevard so thet if curb-side parkir_g were considered, this would be very dangerous
to potential customers; and that deed restrictions were imposed on all these properties in
the tract in which commercial uses of residen:ial structures was prohibited where only one-
story height limitation was permitted and where no signs or billboards were permitted - saixl
deed restrictions were in force until 1985 and would be extended automatically for an
additional ten qears anless the majority of the tract owners requested a change (copy oi-
deed restrictions on file with the petition), and said covenants would run with t:? use

FurShermore, since the agent for the pe~itioner stated the property
had been listed for commercial potential for more than six months,
if he would have listed this fur residenEial uaes, he was sure saies would have been made
since the owners of the propertp on SCsaA1e•Gollege Boulevard main¢ained their properties,
making them deeirable in appearance for residential use.
Mr. Charles Antonuccl, 888 3outh State Co2lege Boulevard, appeared be£ere the Commission,
noting his property was located at the northeast corner of State College Boalevard and
Vermont Avenue; that he had been reaiding at this location for approximately eight years
and had been unable to sleep becau~e of the traffic noiaes, and it was his opinion these
homes were nut attractive for reaidential purposes, and he was desirous of selling his
home for commercial purpoaes.
Mr. Garrett, in rebuttal, stated that many atatements had been made regarding the proposal
which might be argumentive.
Chairman Rowland requested that any commeats made in rebuttal ahould be made regarding
land use, not a!1 atetements made by the opposition, since the Planning Co~ission would
consider only the approprla'teneas of land use for aubject property.
, Mr. Garrett then continued, no~ing he did not feel this would adversely affect the adjoin-
ing land usea because of undeairable uaee; that he only represented the property owners,
and covenants had been broken.
Chairman Rowland noted that covenants or restrictions on propertiea were not a concern
of the Plenning Commiasion aince these were a private, legal matter which had to be handled
by the property ownera themselves.
Mea. Arend H. Floyd, 911 S,outh Reaeda Street, appeared before the Commission and noted her
property was directly to•~~h~ east of aubjert property, and if any land u$e change were to
take,p2ace ~permitting cob~ercial use of aubj~ct property, her property would be the first
affected by any change eince they had the corner lot and had a pool with normal activity;
that;ahe.was concerned as.to the type of buaineas operaEions vhich might.be ,~rojected for
subject property end was desirous of protecting her family aince it was somewhat difficult
to prohibit children from going to a shopping center to purchase some tidbit or to con-
gregate there aftCr coming home from school; ehat her family had apent considerabie money
in maintaining their medium size home because it was all they could afford, and if they
were forced to relocace, 3t would be extremely difficult to replace their existing home
with the return for the sale of their propezty, taking into consideration the amount of
money and time inveated during the past fifteen yeara to upgrade their home, even with
the inflated pricea of tod.y; that all the homes facing on the alley had their living
guartera facing thia alley, and there would be no protection from viewers from the street
or alley if commercial usea were permitted to develop on subject property; and that some
privacy was gained from the davelopment of these homes i~long State College Boulevar~ which
would be lost if removed.
The Commisaion Secretary indicated there were three letters of opposition received by the
Planning Department.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
The Co~aission noted the atudy, "The Problem of Residential Homes Fronting on Arterial
Highways'; was mad~ because of the number of strip co~ercial developments that had been
occurring, and i,-~i thia etudy there we~ee a number of alt~rnatives preaented which could
be adopted by any reaident having a home fronting on an arterial highvay, namely, a
6-foot mesonry wall or`talY screen la:~acapfng, both of which acted as buffers to any
noises and would provide additional patio eRace in the front yard, and at the same time
keeping the dirt, duat, and noisea out of the front yard area; that the front wall treat-
ment was used at great length bq the people in the sonthern states, as vell as some part~
of Southern California; that the landscapi^ig and wall treatment made a very attractive
appearance for theae homea and still kept the no{.ses and dirt from invading the privacy
of these homea; that according to the General Plan, the amount cf acreage needed for
commercial uaes had already ~een reached; that the i;ity vas faced with the continuous
deterioration of homes by requesta for conversion of •.heae residences into office uses
because they were more conveni~ent and leas expensive than regulation commercial facilities,
and conversion of these homea cteated coneiderable problems with strip coffinercial appear-

Assistant 2oning Supervisc+r Malcolm Slaughter reviewed the location of subject property,
uses estaoliahed 3n cloae proximity, and the proposal to establish a 7,625-square foot
auto painting facilitq in the nor.thern portion of subject property; that parking would
' conform with Code;requirements;.Chat landscaping as`indicated on xhe.original plans was
not:adequate, and the staff had diacussed this matter with the petitioner, advising him
that more'landscaping would be,necessary; that the propoaed structure would be within
10 feet of the ultimate.right-of-way of ManchESter Avenue, whereas the M-1 Code'would
require a 50-foot aetback'- however, due to the shape of the lot; it would be extremely
difficult to develop any tqpe of atructure on the property without some type of infringe-
ment of the required setback erea; and that'the proposed signing for the southerly po::tion
of the property would be in conformance with the Sign Ordinance, except that it would set
back only 4 feet from the west property line, whereas Code required 7 feet.
In reviewing the evaluation of the staff, Mr.. Slaughter noted that the proposed use might
be permitted in the M-1 Zone provided it was not incompatible with the other uses in the
area - therefore, the Coimnission would have to determine 3f the use were appropriate;
that many lots in this area had similar developmeat problems, i.e., unusual shaped lots,
and were granted waiver of the required structural setback; and that while the required
number of parking spacea was proposed, the Co~iasion might be concerned about storage
of vehicles being prepared or awaiting painting or completion, which could sffect the
parking problem, and if automobiles were proposed to be stored, then the M-1 Zone would
require a 6-foot masonry wall to encloae the outdoor storage area.
Mr. John Izwin, agent for the petitioner, indicated his presence to answer questions
and stated that the district manager for Earl Scheib Company was also present to answer
questions.
The Coa~ission noted there were several questions which remained unanswered and inquired
as to Ehe number of vehicles planned to be processed daily and whether or not landsaaping
would be provided as staff had depicted on the plans.
Mr. R. W. Andersfln, District Manager of Earl Scheib Company, appeared before the Co~ission
and stated that 60 to 70 vehicles per week would be processed; that at no time would they
plan to store vehicles on the exterior which could not be stored indoors afCer 6:00 P.M.,
their closing time; that preparation,of the vehicles was started in the stalls and since
they operated on a one-day principle, each vehicle would be leaving the premises most of
the time on the same day since vehicles were processed by appointment only, and any
vehicles not picked up would be &ept inside the building to discourage vandalism.
Mr. Anderson, in response to Co~ission questioning, stated he would stipulate that there
would be no outdoor storege or overnight outdoor parking, and that the amount of body work
was small, such as removing dents, which would be done inside the building, since any
major framework repair would be done by companies who specialize in this regularl;.

the-entrance canopy of the Off-Broadwaq West club located in the western.poztion of the

roof sign?on the hotel proper, wl:ereas'Code would require a maximum 300-foot separation -
however,.due to the height of the hotel atructure; it-was highly improbable`tiiat both
sigres would be visible to anpone at the same time;.and that orientation of the sign would
be to direct people to use the entrance provided for this facility. Therefore, the

one-to ttiis generel area:
Mr: Jack Lloyd, representing the agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission
and noted,the locatioa of the proposed.sign'and the roof sign would be on a plane 190 feet
fiorizontally or 250 feet vertically; that it-was his opinion the intent of the C~de was to
avoid a conglomeretion`of aigns on the property - however, bo*_h signs could not be seen at
one.Eime; and that the man,,er of.the hotel was available to explain the reason for the
~ , proposed sign.,
Mr.'Ray Maier, Manager'of'the Grand Hotel,`appeared before the Commission and noted th~zy had
had a number of convenfions using:this room during the daytime hours, and due to the in-
ability of patrons using,the convention facility not knowing the exacE location of the
direct entrance to.this facility, they generally requested direction by going through the
lobby, and'by erection of this.ptoposed sign, this would eliminate the convention partici-
panEs-from~.using,the_main lobby.
No one appeared in opposition to subject.petition..
?HE.,HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Discussion was held by the Commission, it being determined that the proposed sign was
basically a directional sign and would not be viaible in conjunction with the roof sign
at any location."

(Continued) ~ petitioner had indicated:the>natu=e of his-,business was wholesaling
his products with minor retail activity; and the number of parking spaces
` required would not be necessary; and that tfie existing use-apparently
had.no deleterious.effECts,upon.Ehe surrounding area - however, the Commission would have
to' be concerned with the proposal to ,expand the~existing facility by 162% with minimal
r~ parking provided -.although the'petitioner stated the,proposed parking was sufficient,'
~ there was a'possibility this.could be converted into'a'regular retail activity in the
futuie,.creating a;.greater deficiency since 39.parking.spaces.would then be required.
Mr. William.De Forrest, one of the petitioners, appeared before the Commission and noted
his.company-was the:American Lock & Suppl}i Company;".that xheir main business was whole-
saling, and when the business was establiahed five years ago it was felt the facility
would be adequate - however, because of the greater increase in Che criine.rate, their
business had grown':considerably, and 3t was:necessary to obtain supplies and maintain a
substantiaL inventory that would last up to one.year because of the inability of the lock
companies to fill orders;`that they had experienced at least up to six Eo eight months'
delay in.having their ordera filled; and that most of'their business was supplying schools
with locks.and keys, as well as manufacturers,
The Commission inquired how the petitioner planned to have trash pick-up from the alley
since this was a very narrow, 20-£oot alley and if there were any walk-in business if,
as the petitioner claimed; retail'business was of the minimum.
Mr.'De Forrest indicated this alley ~s~s`not.a:true alleq since it had no exit to Alberta
Street, but there had been no problems in the past as to traffic in the alley, even
though the trash trucks did back up into the alleq for pick-up ~urposes, and that the
only;counter service was an an:emergencq.•¢esis wherein someone telephoned ior a specific
' item.and later picked up the item.
Mr. De Forrest also noted,'ir, response'to Commission questioning, that the two-story
addition.would.be primarily for warehousing; that the majority of.the orders were picked
up by,United Parcel; that there were only two office girls, two full time et~loyees and
one.part time employee; thaE he and his brother drove to work together, and there was no
service fruck since they did not offer this type of service; and that it was assumed
this new addition would be-more than ample for their needs since they had purchased the
property and were making plans to'purchase the property to tfie north at such time as it
became available.
The Co~iseion noted that the parking as proposed would be adequate for the existing use;
however, in the event subject property was sold and general retail uses were planned, the
parking would be inadequate „ and a self-imposed hardship would be created if surject
petition were approved,,primarily for the nonconforming uae which might necessitate
removal of the $2d,000 structure in order to provide adequate parking.
Mr. De Forrest replied that he and his brother owned the property, although the corpora-
tion owned the business; that it was fe1C this was an ideal place to remain, and it was not
their intention to relocate to another area for warehousing purposes. Furthermore, if
the warehouse were located elsewhere, this would create a hardship since it was vitally
important that they know every piece of equipment available at a moment's notice upon
request of a customer.
No one appeared in opposition to aubject petition.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Herbst expressed the opinion that he could nc~t justify waiver of the number
of parking spaces for this specific uae since the building proposed would be there For
fifty years~ W;th the possibility of the existing use relocating, and any subsequent use
might have a parking deficiency which could not be corrected. Furthermore, the City had
never in the past waived the number of parking spaces proposed by the petitioner.
Ca~nissioner Thom noted that the petitioner justified his hardship on the basis that his
specific type of business did not require the parking spaces of a regular commercial
facility, nor would it require the number of parking spaces a similar operation required
in the industrial area.
Commissioner Gauer, in response to a question by Coum~issioner Farano as to the possible
establishment of a geaeral retail operation on subject property, stated that a hosierp
company and a plumber operated in this general area, and these uses could be construed
as being industrial.

Mr. De`Forrest advised~the"Commiesion t&atiihe Had not:discussed ~he gassibility of a second
story, on the exiating structure with the>conCractor; howevei, he would stipulate to removal
° of the;bailding in the event they;r~located and.`a,shortage os perking spacea occurred.
The Commission advised the petitioner that his stipulation was possiole;.however, once the
building was erected, the'general=concensu~s.would be to request a"wafver to allow the
building to remain~rather tha.:''remove it because of insufficient parking area.
Chairman Rowland was:of the opinion th~t the petitioner shoul,d coatact his contractor to
determine 3f it were feasible;to erect a second story to the existing building befare any
decision was made-by the Commfasiori since the parkiug had been calculated very liberally
by`.the_staff for warehousing purposes - howeyer, tL~e Commission should be fully aware that
a minimum of 30'spaces would be needed for any ot~er type of use.
Commissioner Allred offered a motion to grar,t Petition for Variance No. 2168 on the basis
that'the petitioner had proven a hardship.existed.in the type of use presently made of
subject,property, and the need for additional storage so that orders might be filled with-
out waiting six to.eight months,.and that the-additional parking as required by the site
development standards for said zonp were not needed for the use; and subject to conditions.

prnperty described as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land consist-
ing of approximately 13.5 acres having approximate frontages of 970
feet on the south side of Crescent Av~aue and 970 £eet on the north side of Alameda Avenue,
having a maximum depth of approximately 608 feet and being located approximately 360 feet
east of the centerline of Brookhurst Street. Property presently classified R-A, AGRICUL-
TURAL, ZONE.
REQUESTED CLASSIFICATION: R-3, MULTIPLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, 20NE.
REQUESTED VARIANCE: WAIVERS OF (1).MINIMUM REQUTAED DISTANCE BETWEEN BUILDINGS,
(2) TWO-STORY STRUCTURES WITHIN 150 FEET OF R-A ZONING, AND
(3) MINIMUM REQUIRED LANDSCAPED SETBACK ADJACENT TO A LOCAL STREET.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Malcolm Slaughter reviewed the location of subject property,
uaes established in close proximity, and the proposal to establish a 380-unit, two-story
apartment complex with waivers of minimum distence between buildings, one-story height
limitation within 150 feet of R-A property, and minimum required landscaping adjacent to
the required setback and front of the open parking area.
Chairman Rowland noted that the Commission in reviewing the plans determined that the
only area of difficulty was the minimum required landsceping in the setback area since
none of the City staff inembers could determine how the required screening of the parking
area could be provided with a 5-foot berm.
Mr. Boris Marks, architect representing the petitioners, appeared before the Co~nission
and noted that it was proposed to depress the parking area approximately 4 feet below
and parallel to the local street; that it was their intent previously Co have a rounded
berm with a slope and a wall - however, it was difficult to put in the required landscep?.ug
in this area, and as one alternative, it was proposed to have ~~~te3e1 landscaped ::~ea, 3

if no landscaping~were proposed, and:that it was not desirous of having
a solid masoriry'wall;since tfiis would be presenting a harsh appearance.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts, in response to Commission questioning, stated the R-3
Zone site:development standards required that the setback be completely'landscaped and no
parking.ptrmitted.
Mr..Marka, in responae`to question3ng by the Co~is~sion chairman;as to the.required land-
sceping, atated;that:the:preliminat~r p'lans proposed a street through:the center of the
~.project since it was originally planned to use more property; however, now in order to
gain.the appearance of-openness wfthin the project; 3t was felt a street should be pr~vided
along the west.property line and Heavy landscaping with 5 feet being adequate aince the
spaciousness.was provided'.in the cenEer of tlte project;'that.the density was originally
28,units ~er ac;e -.however, with the type of setback proposed, this had now increased to
34 units; tfiat a 1:8 and 1:20 slope or 5% to 12y was proposed; that two sloped driveways
were proposed .from Alameda and from Crescent; that sidewalk:access was proposed of approxi-
mate 8 faot widEh 20 feet from the streets; that the drive "ramp would be adequately pro-
vided with pumping facilities for drainage purposes; that there were some areas where the
parking was not visible from the new street - however, greenery was necessary; and that
approximately 30 feet was lost because of the requirement of a new street.
Chairman'Rowland noted that approximately 8 parking spaces would require a 25-foot turning
radius - however, the balance of the parking on the new street did not require this radius.
Mr. Marka replied that there were single and double parking areas - therefore, the radius
would be 'necessary.
Office Engineer Jay Titus noted that the requirement of a new street was 54 feet with a
- 1-foot holding strip'to be picked up when the property to the west was developed; that
the curb and sidewalk being required would still be installed along the west side by
thaE property owner; and then inquired whether or not arrangements had been made with
Mr. Yellis, owner of the property.to the west, to provide the balance of the street width.
Mr. Yellis responded in the affirmative.
No one appeared in opposition to subject petitions.
~~ THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. Titus, in responae to Commission questioning, atated that the width of the curb and
sidewalk was 13 feet, and that the special requirement for the Alameda StYeet section
was to provide for better eathetics.
Co~i.ssioner Herbst expressed the opinion that perhaps as far as the new street was con-
cerned, the sidewalks could be located adjacent to the curb, and the normal parkway could
be incorporated in the landscaped setback only on the new, local street.
Mr. Marks replied that they would be willing to comply with this setback for all streets.
Co~isaioners Gauer and Thom concurred in Cou~issioner tlerbst's statement that the side~
walks could be relocated adjacent to the curb and normal parkway area incorporated in
the landscaped setback; this would provide for a more attractive development and still
shield the parking area from view from the street.
i
Chairman Rowland inquired whether the developers proposed to provide adequate protection
for safety measures where only a 4-foot recessed area was proposed.
Mr. Marks repl~~ed that with the ~~heavy• hedge• screen landscaping, together with a chain-
liak £ence, this would be difficult to penetrate with a vehicle.
~ Mr. Titus noted,regarding the statement made by the developers that they would agree to
f placing the sidewalka adjacent to the curb would be acceptable for the local street only;
i however, for Crescant Avenue and Alameda Street it was suggested that because of the type
i of traffic and speed, in order to protect the pedestrians, the sidewalk should be at its
I normaL position with the parkway separating it.
~~ Co~iasioner Herbst offered Reaolution No. PC70-59 and moved for its passage and adoption
to reco~nend to the City Council that Petition for Reclassification No. 69-70-48 be
approved subject to ICPS&GW conditions, amending Condition No. l by adding, "Provid~d,

temporary use.of existing structure for church offices,

located at 405 North Dale Avenue.
Assistant Zonfng Supervisor Malcolm.Slaughter presented to the Commission a requeat from
the Greek Orthodox Church"of Orange County for a three-year extension of time for the
use of property located at 405 North Dale Avenue, midway between Crescent and Lincoln
Avenues, for the use originally approved, namely, temporary church of£ices, a language
school, and limited church services in an existing residential structure. It was £urther
noted that the time limitation e;r~ires in May, 1970, and the letter from the petitioner
indicated their building,program for the church would not begin until approximately 1973,
and the existing home was needed for administrative offices and language achool facilities.
Commissioner Thom offered a motion to grant a three-year extension of time for the use of
property approved ~or temporary church offices, a language school,and limited church services
under Conditional Use Permit No. 941, said time limitation to expire May 8, 1973. '

CONDITIONAI. USE PERMIT N0. 1022 -(Herco Properties, Inc.) -
Request for extension of time - Property located on the east
side of East Street, approximately 360 feet north of Lincoln
Avenue.
Aasistant Zoning Supervisor Malcolm Slaughter presented a request from Herco Properties,
Inc., for an additional six-month extension of time in order.to comply with conditions
of Conditional Use Permit No..1022, to establish a walk-up restaurant on subject property.
It was further noted that none of the conditions of the resolution had been met; that two
previous exteasions of time had been.granted, the lest having expired on Januarq 10, 1970;
and that at the,time the first extension was granted the Plaaning Commisaion required that
the petitioner offer a 40-foot dedication along Eest Street within sixty days of Februaryi0,
1964 ~ however, this dedication had never been made. Therefore, if the Co~nission deter-
~' mined that an additional extension of time were warranted, this extension of time should
~I be granted subject to street dedication within sixty days of the Planning Co~nission action.
I - (
~ Discussion was held bq the Commissian relative to the fact that the petitioner had not ;
offered the dedication under the original time extension, and if said dedication were Ya: ~
obtained within sixty days, the petition should be considered null and void.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0. 802 -(American West Nuraing Centers) -
Weatern Pennsqlvania National Bank of Pittsburgh - Request for
approval of storage space proposed beneath the teanis courts in
a co~on;storage room"having 24,000 cubic feet (240 units x 100
cubic feet) on.property located vest of Harbor Boulevard
north
,
and south of Wilken Way and east and west of Mallul Drive -
Property zoned R-3.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor Malcolm Slaughter presented a request from the developers of
a 240-unit apartment complex located on Mallul Drive and Wilken Way to approve a coa~on
storage room having 24,000 cubia feet - the equivalent of 240 storage cabinets 100 cubic
feet in size - based on the fact that because of the structural characteristica of the
proposed parking structure, the contractor for this project ata• ' it would be very diffi-
ault,to provide the required storage cabinets conveniently nea= .~.~. parking spaces; said
common storage to be located beneath the fennis courts. Furthermore, although Code.
paro~itted the location of storage facilities conveniently located to parl~ing facilities,
it did not specifically,allow a common room as a substitute; therefore, staff requested
that the Commission.determine whether the proposal was an appropriate means of providing
storage space for residents of this apartment complex.
Mr, Ben Ruckell, representing American West, appeared before the Co~ission and briefed
the Commission on t~he proposal to establish a storage room having an entry from the lower
level of the parking structure, entry would be only with an attendant from the Manager's
office, with each tenant having.an ID card;.and that approval was needed for storage in
order to obtain a buiTding permit for the parking structure.
Considerable discussio~s was held by the Commission, staff, and Mr. Ruckell regarding the
proposal, summed up as follows; 1) possibility of theft if common storage facilities
were provided; 2) need for more than the minimum 24,000 cubic feet if atorage lpckers
were provided in the co~on storage room; 3) need for more apace than the mfnimum cormnon
storage room, since it would be impossible for tenants to gain access to thei~r property
if no corridors, etc. were provided~ 4) provide lockable storage lockers having a minimum
100 cubic feet each for all but the bachelor units; and providing a general sCorage room
for all the bachelor units, the area of said bachelor apartment storage to be equivalent
~ of the sum of 100 cubic feet for each bachelor unit - plus sufficient area for access
aisles; and thst access to said bachelor storage area would be gained only bq way of an
~ attendant from the.Manager's'uf£ice to persons having ID cards.
Commissioner Farano recommended to the agent that he contace a~arehousing authority to
present his storage probiems - to determine his storsge needs for the co~on storage area.
At the conclusion of the discussion, the Commission determined that the storage proposal
would meet the basic inteat of the zoniag ordinance; how~ever, certain dr_tails must be
worked out in terms of exact areas necessary to meet storage and acces~s requirements,
and that said plans should be submitted to the Development Services P,epartment for review
and approval prior to the issuance of a building permit for the storage structure.
Furthermore, based upon this determination and the fact that the developer stipulated to
pursuing a solution to the storage requirement, the staff is authorized to issue the
building permit for the parking structure.

and La Pa1ma Avenues approved by.:the Planning Commission on Apri1 7,.1969, in Resolution
No. PC69-71,.permitting on-sale.beer and wine ~n conjunction`with a restaurant, for an
interpretation,as.to whether or not this would allow operation of the premises as a beer
bai or hofbrau type operaEion serving beer and sandwiches.'
Mr. Odra Chaadler,'.608 South Harbor Boulevard,.attorney representing the proposed lessee
°r,of the exisEing restauran~:appeared before'the Co~nission and noted that the conditions
',of approval;!required development in accordance with;plans; that the use of the property
'had been basically.for a beer bar rather than a restaurant - therefore, his request was
for Ehe Commission's"interpretetion of.the original approval £or aubject property, and
would it permit:a h6fbrau type operation; that the only problem he could visualize other
than-this was with the Alcohofic Beverage Control Board in the fact that approval of the
wine.and°beer was subj~ct to sale in codjunct~on with a restaurant; and that since the
operation had not,been as originally approved by the Co~ission, his request was for this
clarification.•
Diacusaion was held by She Co~nission as to the original intent and commitments made by
the petitioner, it being determined that the Co~nission approved the on-sale beer and
wine in conjunction with the restaurant with leas than.z5% kitchen area on the basis that
the petitioner had proven the 21% proposed was adequate to serve her needs and the type
of food, mainly broiled fooda, which would be served'in this reataurant.
Mr. Chandler not~d that the staff felt they could not interpret the Commission's reason
. for approvel,on thg basis of the reaolution although the minutes did indicate the dis-
cussion.by the Co~nission.
Further diacussion was held by the Commiasion, staff, and attorney for the representative,
and upon its conclusion the Cou~ission advised Mr. Chandler that a new conditional uae
permi`t would have.to be filed since their original approval was based upon the applicant's
requeat to have:on-sale beer and wine in conjunetion with a restaurant, whereas a hofbrau
type operatiaz~ r.~ould not be considered in the same interpretation as a restaurant.
No furEher acEion was ea3cea by the Co~ission.

Amendmetyf td.Title 18 relative to animal ordinances currently
in effect fo~ all residential zones.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Rober~$ noted~for [he Commission that a report had been sub-
mitted to them regarding the p.roptasal to revise the General Provis3ons and Definition
sections o:f the Anaheim Mu~ticipal Cbde since Chapter 8.08 contained the adoption of
Orange County ordinances pertaining to the keeping of dogs and other domeatic animals,
and the City contracted with the C6unty for enforcement of this section of the Code;
that the proposed amendment to the Anaheim Municipal Code was written in such a way to
complement and clarify Chapter 8.08, and there were no apparent conflicts - therefore,
if the Commission concurred in the proposed revisions, it was recou~ended that Title 18
of the Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapters 18.04 and 18.08, be set for public hearing.
Co~issioner Allred offered a-motion to direct the Commission Secretary to set for public
hearing conaideration of amendment to Title 18, Chapters 18.04, General Provisions, and
18.08, Definitions, of the Anaheim Municipal Code for April 20, 1970. Cormnissioner
Farano seconded the motioa. MOTION CARRIED.
