duce evidence important to the Commisaion's consideration.

modate his chiropractic practice only, and no other persons woul.d occupy the

Boulevard, Anaheim, California, Agents, requesting permis-
sion to ESTASLISx A SASEBA.LL BATTIYG FACILITY WITH INCIDENTAL RENTAL OF SICYCLES
AND SALE OF FOOD WITH WAIVER OF THE MAXSMUM PERMITTED STRUCTURAL HEIGHT on
property described as: A rectangularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of
approximately one acre, hav~ng a frontage of approximately 160 feet on the
south side of Lincoln Avenue, having a maximum depth of approximately 308 feet,
and being located approximately 1,340 feet east of the centerline of Rio Vista
Street, and further described as 2900 East Lincoln Avenue. Property presently
classified R-A, AGRICC7LTURAL, 20NE.
Subject petition was continued from the meeting of January 10, 1972, to allow
the petitioner time to revise plans incorporatinq suggestions made by the
Commission.
Chairman Farano inquired whether anyone was present in opposition; whereupon
one person indicated his presence in opposition.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor pon McDaniel reviewed the location of subject
property. uses established in close proximity, and the proposed use for the
property, stating tha.t there had been no previous zoning actions on the
property. He further indicated that revised plans had been submitted with 31
parking.stalls and a 5-foot landscaped buffer, with a 6-foot hi.gh concrete
block wall alon.g the westerly property line separating the proposed parking
area from the single-family residential propertyt that a 20-foot landscaped
buffer strip was provided separating the batting cage and patio area from
the single-family units.
Mr. Michael J. Garan, 2427 Level Avenue, agent, advised the Commission,
that he had met with both the Planning and Street Department staffs in an
effort to work out the ingress and egress. He also noted that in conversation
with the Anaheim Parks Department that there is a master plan showing 512 car
parking spaces in the area adjacent to the petitioner's proposal, which would
back up to the property and to the parking lot. He advised the Commission
that the City's plans do not indicate a 20-foot green area, and he believed
that if the applicant had to conform to required code, the City should also
conform. He indicated that the lighting would be of no potential nuisance
value since it would not project beyond the cages and could be revised downward.
Mr. Garan advised the Commission that the owner of the property had been
approached on two different occasions by representatives of the City of Anaheim
reqarding purchase of the property for park purposes.
Mr. Norman Cromie, 516 South Westgate, appeared in opposition, stating he lived
adjacent to the area of the proposed batting cage and that the surrounding
residential area consiste3 of family people with nice homes. He presented two
photographs of'batting cages now in operation in Anaheim, and that from viewing
and listening to these operations, the noise of the machines working and the
balls being batted would be a detriment to the area. Mr. Cromie further advised
the Commission that property owners in that area had received a letter from the
City Parks Department that the City was to invest $640,000 in the Anaheim Lake
project, which is adjacent to the area in question.
in rebuttal, Mr. Garan stated that plans submitted indicated the cages would
be set back 55 feet from the back fence line, and a masonry wall would be
installed to deflect the sound from the adjoining property, and that zhe lights
would be reflected downward.
TFiE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
In answer to a question from Commissioner Seymour, Mr. Garan advised that the
owner wished to develop the psoperty himself rather than sell it to the City
of Anaheim.
Mr. Dick Kamphefner, Park Superintendent for the City of Anaheim, advised the
Commission that an application has been made to the Federal ~Government for
funding, but to date they have not heard of its acceptance; however, the park-
ing area, if developed by the City, would be turf and trees, and the only paved
portion would be ~he drive itself, similar to Knott's 9erry Farm.

CommiasioT;~r Gauer indicated the proposed use uid not beiong in this reaidential
area surrounding the R-1 developmentt that the proposed development by the
City of "Anaheim Beach" would enhance the entire area.
The Commiasion further discussed the type of compatible development for this
area, noting that the owner has a right to develop his property, and this body
should be in a poaition tu offer a constructive alternative to him; that some
type of landscaping to shield the batting cages and act as a sound barrier
should ba provided.
Commiasionex Gauer offered Resolution No. PC72-15 and moved for its passage
and adoption to deny Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 1283, noting
that the development was not compstible to the R-1 area due to the noise factor
if operated until 9:00 P.M.'or 10:00 P.M., and the traffic congestion on
Lincoln Avenue. (See Resolution Book)

Commisaioner Herbst stated that apparently the app2icant was~";aot willing to
protect the R-1 property to the south as required from all r:~cent R-3 devel-
opersj that there was only 3 feet of planting between the d'iv;~ay and existin~
R-1 homea; the density is 4 units per acre higher than botti-.cYA and City codv;
allows; that the development submitted was not for the good of Anaheim, did
not protect the interests of the people adjoining the propertyJ and suggested
that the petitions be continued if the applicant required more time.
Mr. Knisely advised that the owner had several developmenta of a similar
nature and did not request a continuance, and suggested that perhaps the Code
should be changed.
It was pointed out by Commissioner Rowland th4t the developer should develop
a superior living environment; that no law nesded changin3s that the Commission
can request any reasonable development standarda appliad to a propertyt and
that three waivers had been requested, and the petitioner's plans did not
create any living environment, the project had too much density.

Mr. Fix notEd that the church does fit into the R-3 development rather wells

of the sign wauld be 6 x 8 feet. However, the actual size of the letterir3

INDUSTRIAI~~ 20NE.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor pon McDaniel noted :~urroundfng land uses and that
the petitioner was requesting a conditional use permit to eatablish a 219-unit,
three-stor.y motel in an M-1 Zone, which included 62 covered parking spaces and
157 open parking spacea, and that the plans submitted indicated the unita to
be 312 square feet ia area and each to be composed of an efficizncy kitchen
unit which would include a sink, refrigerator, and cook top wlth no oven.
Mr. DaZe Ingram, P. 0. Box 229, E1 Monte, agent for the petitioner, was preaent.
He indicated the property had been zoned M~-1 for ninetEen years and had no
development on it. He further indicated this was an existing motel area since
there was a motel to the east, commercial useu to tl:e north and east of subject
property. The develoner had constructed three other similar motels at 2638
Lincoln, 2738 Lincoln and 34C0 Lincoln. The units would not be apartment but
rather motel units; the motels to be built for Ambassador Inns of Ameriaa.
Mr. Robert Borden, Bryan Investment Company, Anaheim, appeared in opposition,
indicating that his company leases and owns proaerty surrounding the subject
property; that the integrity of the industrial area should be maintained; and
that there was a certain amount of noise to be expected fram industries as
employees go to and come from work on swing shifts anci would be disturbing to
motel tenants.
Mr. Jim Mayes, own~r of property where Hyer Manufacturing Company is estab-
lished (immediately to the west of subject property), appeared in opposition.
indicating he was opposed to motel or apartment units next to industrial plants.
THE HEARZNG WieS CLOSED.
The Commission advised Mr. Inqram that the motels noted above on Lincoln Avenue
which had been built by the owner of subject prope:z~ were now advertisinq as
apartments; that the Commission had aeen assured hy Mr. Zngram at the time of
the presentation that they would not be rented as apa.rtments. Mr. Ingram
indicated tk:e units Niad now been sold and were nc lo*iger the property of his
client.
The Commission further indicated that kitchen units should not exceed 10$ of
the facilities for a motel, whereas the petitioner was proposing kitchen
facilities in all units, which would classify them as small type apartmenta.
Commissioner Seymour noted that although the applicant's intentions were to
create a motel site, experience has demonstrated that id~~ntical complexes
previously constructed by the applicant have not been operated aa motels but
as apartments.
Commissioner Seymour offered Resolution No. PC72-21 and moved for its passage
and adoption to deny Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 1288 based on
experience of previous type development and to request the City Council in
their review of thr, project to investigate the existing, supposedly motels on
Lincoin Avenue, and after investigatior. that they can see it is not a motel
but an apartment, and the developer here intends to develop an apartment and
the development should be approached as an apartment, not a motel. This is
an M-1 area and there would be created a substandard apartment house; it wauld
be damaging not only to the industrial area but industrial people who are
present in the Council Chambers today. (See Resolution Sook)
Commissioner Aerbst statad that a conditional use permit should be to service
the industrial area. He noted he had traveled enough throughout the country
for the past few years, and salesmen are not interested in kitchens i.n motels
in industrial areas. To provide kitcheas as the applicant proposes would be
catering tu the commercial-recreation business that is carried over from the
Disneyland area.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1288 (Continued)
Commissioner Rowland stated that it should he made a part of the record for
the Council that why would anyone want to pay 6$ bed tax on an apartment;
it is really a good investment if you look at it on the ground. The applicant
proposes to develop 70 units per acre compared to multiple-family zoning which
allows 36 units p~r acres also parking.space of 508 of required needed for
apartments; ~rovides no park and recreation•fees and providea no opportunity for
the long-range motel dweller to participate in recreation facili:ies in the
city because we have no recreation facilities provided in the M-1 Zone.
Commissioner Seymour stated that one of the previous arguments px.eser.ted by ,
the same developer was, economically they could not rent these motels as a' t-
ments; however, today Casa Monterey was advertiaing at $29.75 per week. 'r_.a
proposed development is nothing more than a substandard aFartment.

Western High School to the southj and apartment development to the west.

apartment complex for the elderly.
Mr. Don Fears, architect, 1477 South Manchester Avenue, representing the

requested waivers were considered on the previous approval; that the applicant
had spent considerable time qoing into a market study and feasibility study
and need for such a developmentj that all documents had been completed for FHA
approval, building permits, etc., however, FHA had requeated a garden style
apartment; that i¢provements have been made on the open space, the number of

total development, only to the parking located on the adjacent line.
Mr. Fears noted th.at previous proposed plans had 44 covered parking spaces
and present plans showed 53 coveredf however, it would be satisfactory with
him to uncover some of these garages and move the work shop so as not to
create a "tunnel" effect.
Mr. Christian indicated this would be satisfactory.

rectangularly-Rhaped parcel of land being the southeast corner of Lincoln
Avenue and Magnolia Avenue with approximate frontaqes of 177 feet and 188
feet respectively and further described as 2580 West Lincoln Avenue. Property
presently classified C-1, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, ZONE.
Surrounding lanc: uses include a aervice station to the north acrosa Lincoln
Avenue; a single-f°mily unit on a large R-A parcel to the eastt a single-
family unit on an R-A parcel to the south; and a service station acroas
Magnolia Avenue to the west. A portion of subject property was rezoned in
1956 to C-1, the remainder to C-1 in 1963r the applicanc proposes to establish
an automobile service station.
Mr. Bob Isaacson, P. O. Box 158, Downey, representing Mobil oil Corporation,
applicant, advised that all conditions cf the C-1 Zone would be complied with.
Commissioner Kaywood indicated that there was a total of 33 stations in the
area af one mile to either side of the proposed station, 5 of which are
closec or abandoned stations, one th'..t belongs to Mobil Oil on Oranqe and
Brookhurst.
Mr, Isaacson advised that Mobil Oi1 does not have one closed station in the
City of Anaheimj that the company had moved the station at Orange and Brookhurst
across the 3treet because they felt it to be a better loca*ton,,provided better`
facilities.
Commissioner Seymour read from a reaearch study by the International Service
Station Dealers to indicate a population of 3,500 people was needad to justify
the existence of one stationr that Anaheim nas a population of 702 persons per
station; further that the study indicated rt present a 15$ vacancy factor in
the City of Anahei~.
In answer *.o a question by Commissioner Seymour re.lative to leveling closed
stations within six months of non-operation, Mr. Isaacson stated that Mobil
Oil Company deals with individual businessmenj that a dealer may terminate his
lease. Mobil Oil Company ia interested in open atationa, compatible with the
community and so far as taking over an abandoned station is concerned, Mobil
oil Company has ~:ade a survey, and this proposed location was chosen due to
surrounding land use, traffic, type of residences, etc. Approximately a
quarter of a million dollars would be apent at this location by Mobil oil
Company. He further indicated that if Mobil Oil Company could ofEer superior
service,.it is possible stationre'in the area might not be able to compete.
_~
The Commission discussed the advisabil3ty of amending the service station ~
ordinance whereby ahould a station cloae and be abandoned for a p~riod of six ~
months, the owner would have to level the structure and advised staff to aet
up a work seasion regarding amending the ordinance. They further euggested
that all oil companies be invited to go over the procedure and new ordinance
prior to adoption. The Commisaion dtscussed the possibility of limiting the
number of service stations at any one intersection.
The c:ommission noted that the location of subject request was on a large parcel
and, no doubt, cou].d accommodate a use other than a service station.
