Brookhurst Street and Lincoln Avenue, having approximate frontages of 154 feet
on the east side of Brookhurst Street and 105 feet on the north side of Lincoln
Avenue, and further described as 2181 West Lincoln Avenue. Property presently
classified C^1, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, ZONE.
Su~ject petition was continued from the meeting of November 29, 1977., at the
request of the petitioner, and from the meetings of January 24 and February 23,
1972, for the submission of revised plans.
Commissioner Rowland returned to the Council Chamber at 2:07 p.m.
Temporary Chairman Gauer inquired whether there was anyone present in opposition
and received no response.
Temporary Chairman Gauer i.nquired whether the petitioner was present and
received no response.
Commissioner Rowland inquired of staff whether the petitioner had subinitted
revised plans as had b~en stated by him at the last public hearing; whereupon
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts advised the Commission that no plans had been
submitted, and that at the last public hearing, Mr. LaJoie, the new agent for
the petitioner, had advised the Commission that he might incorporate property
to the east and revise the plans. As a result, the petition was continued.
Purthermore, the petitioner continued to violate zoning requirements and in
violation of the direction by the Planning Commission to remove all used auto-
mobiles from the premises within thirty days, since a field inspection in the
morning of this date revealed there still were used automobiles on the premises;
and that the City Attorney had filed papers in municipal court because of these
violations, said case to be heard in court April 12, 1972.
Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry, in respo±±se to a question by the Commission,
stated that the Commission was concerned only with the land use, not zoning
violations.

Mr. Roberts inquired whether or not the Commission felt the land use was
apprcpxiate, and if so, then perhaps a finding should be made in the resolution
of denial.
Commissioner Rowland noted that when he offered a motion for continuance at the
February 23, 1972 hearing, it was only because the petitioner indicated he had
new plans that would establish this as a normal commercial use, thereEore, he
felt the Commission should do everything possible to as~?~~ cne petitioner in
developing the property in an orderly manner; that the plans which the peti-
tioner had submitted at the hearing were for a facility in Texas, and the
petitioner would attempt to apply the plans to subject property; and that since
the getitioner had made no further effort to adapt those plans to subject
property, he could see no reason for any further continuance. Purthermore, the
size and shape of the property was inadequate for the proposed use.
Commissioner Kaywood offered Resolution No. PC72-58 and moved for its passage
and adoption to deny Petition for Variance No. 2306 on the basis that the
petitioner had not demonstrated that a hardship existed to grant favorable
consideration; that plans for development of the property had not been sub-
mitted, evidence of bad faith, which had necessitated numerous continuances
awaiting said revised plansf and that the size and shape of the parcel was in-
adequate for the proposed use, which could create serious traffic conflicts
if access wexe blocked to any given street. (See Resolution Book)
On roll call the foregoing resolution was passed by the following vote:
AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Allred, Gauer, Kaywood, Rowland.

Subject petition was continued from the meeting of March 20, 1972, to allow ;:he
petitioner time to resolve signing problems. -
Temporary Chairman Gauer inquired whether there was anyone present in opposition
and received no response.
Although the Report to the Commission was not read at the public hearing, it is
referred to and made a part of the file.
Mr. David Travis, representinq the petitioner, 2009 East Edinqez Avenue, Santa
An , indicated his presence to answer questions since the Commission was cogni-
zant of most of the facts. However, he would like to advise the Commission
~ ' • " ~

that the signs on the Cycle House had been removed, and they would be taking
more precautions in the future to assure that nothing similar would take place.
Commissioner Kaywood noted that the siqn was nqain in the window, indicating
that the facility was open, although this aign was not thEre in the window the
pre ~ious day.
Mr. Travis assured the Commiasion that ho would see that this did not happen
again. Furthermore, the photographic supply company representative, Mr. Grow,
was unable to be present at the hearinq today.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Rowland offereci Resolution ho. PC72-59 and moved for its passaqe
and adoption to grant Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 1299, establish-
ing the first fourteen types of businesses se forth in the Report to the
Commission as uses that could be established t under this conditional
use permit; that any use proposen as quasi-comtnercial be submitted to the
Development ~ervices Department staff for determination as to its compatlbility,
and any question which might arise, staff then should present any questionable
uses to the Commission at their next public hearing under Reports and Recom-
mendations for a determination rather than setting each use for public hearing;
that approval of these uses in no way relieves the petitioner or their repre-
sentatives from any parking requirementsf that parking should be determined on
a retail basis where it was determined that the retail use might be more than
incidental; and that upon allocation of all parking spaces, the petitioner shall
not request additional parking waivers in order to lease the remaining units
since the Commission had already cautioned the petitioner of the possible
critical parking shortage if commercial uses were established. (See Resolution
Book)
Prior to roll call, Mr. Travis asked how those uses not established in the
list weze to be presentedj whereupon Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted
that the petitloner would have to submit a letter to the Development Services
Department setting forth what was proposed so that staFf could make a deter-
mination as to whether or not it should be administratively approved or presented
to the Planning Commission for determination.

RECLASSIFICATION NO. 71-72-35 AND VARIANCE N0. 2338 (Continued)
Temporary Chairman Gauer inquired whether there was anyone present in opposition
and received no response.
Although the Report to the Commission was not read at the public hearing, it
is referred to and made a part of the file.
Mr. Charles Ross, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and
noted that since the last public hearing a revised plan had been submitted
which indicated the square footage had been reduced by 1000 square feet, or
11$; that 12~is was still proposed for storage purposes; that the pharmacy had
been eliminated, therefore, it was felt that compared to the original scheme,
they met the parking requirement; that they had removed the cars from the main
entry and replaced it with an arcade area with planting; that the lot coverage
was only 228, and the planting and walkways took up another 12~t~; and that
althouqh staPf indicated 48 parking spaces were required, and the plans indi-
cated only 43, it was felt that by the reduction of the size of the structure
and the fact that 1000 square feet was used for storage, this left 7000 square
feet, which wou7.d mean requiring only 42 spaces.
Commissioner Rowland noted that he would like to reiterate the fact that the
amount of atoraqe space required for the medical office use had already been
included in the calculation of the required parking, and although the agent for
the petitioner had separated this specifically, he did not necessarily feel
thia was correct, aince this could be used for storaqe for the present time;
and that the storage space proposed, in all likelihood, might not be usable at
the present time for the number of people planned to be utilizing these
facilities, but might be convert~d for office space in the future.
Mr, Ross replied that they provided special equipment within each office.
Commissioner Rowland noted that the revised plan made more sense than before,
but by re-evaluating his thinking on the project, the agent could provide the
7 additional spacest an3 that he would be in favor of the reclassification
but would not vote to waive the parking requirement.
Mr. Ross noted tha*_ they knew the number of cars that would be parl:ing on the
premisesJ that there would be five doctors on duty over a 24-hour periodr that
the record storage was part of the 1000 square feet o£ storage; and that at no
time would there be more than ten employees on the premises.
Commissioner Rowland stated that one physician could see up to 70 patients per
dayi and that the parking required by ordinance for these types of offices
was on the conservative side.
Mr. Ross ~.ndicated that another section of the Anaheim Municipal Code required
only 3 spaces per doctor's offsce; whereupon Commissioner Rowland noted that
the other section of the Code overrode the 3-space requirement.
Mr. Ros:: then sta*::~i he was desirous of showing the realistic use of the parking
area, and rather rhan having all asphalt, they preferred to have landscaping,
which gave a better eEfect; and that the only way to resolve this would be to
reduce the square footage of the building, however, he felt the proposal before
the Commission made more sense.
Commissioner Gauer informed the aqent for the petitioner that the plan had been
improved considerably, but there still appeared to be a lack of adequate parking.
Mr. P.oss then noted that if parkinq were permitted in the driveway, then they
would meet Code, or if the building were reduced by 1700 square feet, the.n the
cars wouid be parking alongside the driveway.
Commissioner Kaywood inquired whether or not the specimen tree adjacent to the
house was to be removed; whereupon Mr. Ross~stated it was their intent to
retain this tree.
Commissioner Kaywood advised tlze petitioners they could not consider any on-
street parking on Beach Boulevard since this was prohibited; therefore, all
parking would have to be provided on the parcel.

Commissioner Rowland offered Resolution No. PC72-61 and maved for its passage
and adoption to grant Petition for Variance No. 2338,• in part, denying waiver
of the required parking since it was apparent the petitioner could provide
parking either by redesiqning or relocating the buildingt and that no hardship
had been proven or demonstrated to warrant favorable consi3exation of waiver of
the required parking, and that waivers for the height limitation, 6-foot wall
and screen-type trees were deemed necessary since the adjoining uses were
commercial in character, even though the zoning was still R-A, and subject to
conditions. (See Resolution Book)

BACR AND (2) MINIMUM REQUIRED PARKING on property described as: An irregularly-
shaped parcel of land consisting of apprc.~ximately 9 acres, having a frontage of
approximately 426 feet on the north side of KateJ.la Avenue and approximately
620 feet on the south side of Howell Avenue, and being located approximately
150 feet north and approximately 150 feet west of the northwest cosner of
Katella and Howell Avenues. Property presently classified M-1, LIGHT INDUS-
TRIAL, ZONE.
Temporary Chairman Gauer inquired whether there was anyone present ia opposition
and received no response.
Although the Report to the Commission was not read at the public hearing, it is
referred to and made a part of the file.
Mr. Paul Wallach, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and
noted that in order to form a better understanding of the proposed project, he
would like to state it should be considered in two phase~, one a private club
similar to the Jonathan Club in Los Angeles, but health-oriented, and phase
two of the facility would be an arena area oriented to business and industry
seminzrs and sport activities or tennis, which would briag in many celebrities;
that they did not intend to have jai alai since the building was not capable of
handling this type of activity; that they had selected Anaheim because Anaheim
was the logical place with its recreation-oriented facilities, and this site
was the only one in Anaheim that would be economically feasible to construct
and since it was also adjacent to Anaheim Stadium; that the prior opposition
to the trailer park by industry and others was not now present because this
would not have any residential characteristics; that reference mafle by staff
as to establishing a precedent, this facility could be comparahle to the use
established at Anaheim Stadiumt that they had letters from almost all property
owners in the vicinity that this proposal was not opposed by the Chamber of
Commerce or the Industrial Committee; that the proposed use would provide what
many felt was an important addition to the city; that their payroll would be
•

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1301 (Continued)
in excess of $600,000 a year, and property taxes would be approximately $66,000,
which would increase each yearr that the proposed developers felt this would
provide a needed cultural and recreational center; that they had found a second
parking area; that they had talked to every type of organization in Anaheim
for guidance to try their best to bring a project that would be supported in
Anaheim; and that the architect was present and available to answer any technical
questions the Commtssion miqht have.
Mr. John Wells, 4500 Campus Drive, Newport Seach, appeared before the Commis-
sion and noted that rather than presenting the proposal, he would prefer having
the Commission ask questions of him.
Commissioner Gauer inquired where the additional parking was proposed since the
plans before the Commission did not indicate any additional parking.
Mr. Wells replied that they had a 13-acre parcel across the street, which he
believed would be able to handle 1,300 cars, thus makinq a total capacity of
1,560 cars, whereas staff iridicated a nee3 for only 1,309.
Mr. Wells then presented colored rendering~ showing the main entrance as seen
£rom Katella Avenue and a second rendering showing the proposal as seen from
the overpass.
Commissioner Allred ir.;uired as to possible traffic conflicts and ingress and
egress when a peak traffic load was generated on Katella Avenue nuring a base-
ball game.
Mr. Wells replied that he had discussed traffic loads with the City Traffic
Engineer and had shown him the plans, and that the Traffic Engineer had
indicated there would be no problem as to inqress and egress.
Commissioner Gauer inquired whether or not there would be events scheduled at
the same time ae baseball games were scheduled; whereupon Mr. Wells stated
that they would anticipate peak parking around 7:00 p.m.
Commissioner Allred noted that this would mean parking would be usinq surface
streets a: the same time as attendants at the ballgames would be using them.
Mr. Wells replied that he did not feel they would be depending upon State
College Boulevard and Katella Avenue for access when Sunkist Street was extended
southerly from Ball Road, since he understood this extension would be completed
an June.
Commissioner Allred then inquired of Office Engineer Jay Titus whether or not
there was any evaluation in the traffJ.c load; whereupon Mr. Titus repliad that
there would not be a problem if there were no ballgame, but when a combimation
of the ballgame and this proposed use was scheduled, the existing streets would
be unable to handle all the traffic.
Commissioner Gauer then inquirefi as to the amount of traffic that was generated
on Howell Avenue; whereupon Mr. Titus stated that there was considerable traffic
on Howell Avenue since many people used Howell Avenue to exit to State College
Boulevard a£ter a baseball game.
Mr. Wells then presented a parking plan as it pertained to the 13-acre parcel
which he had indicated would be used for 1,300 parking spaces, and noted they
had a lease agreement with the present owner; and that Sunkist Street would
dead-end at this proposed project.
Commissioner Allred inquired as to the exact locatian of the parking as it
pertained to the area map which the Commission had with their agenda packet;
whereupon Mr. Wells pointed out the location.
2oning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted that Sunkist Street would parallel the
property line at Sinclair Street.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0. 1301 (COntinued)
Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry inquired of the agent for the petitioner when
they had found out about the additional land for parkinq, since staff was un-
aware of it up until the present time.
Mr. wells st ted that they had anticipated making some arrangement with the
City of Anaheim for parking space, however, since this was not possible, they
then had made arrangements for this other 13-acre parcel.
Commissioner Gauer was of the opinion that since there were only four Commis-
sioners present, no action should be taken until a full Commission r.as present,
since this was rather a complex development, and there were many angles which
he wou18 like to have clarified, and requested that the Traffic Engineer be
present to answer any questions.
Commissioner Allred noted that there was a~~~ resent and the Commission
could act if they so desired.
Mrs. Allan Kristal, 1294 DeVon, Los Angeles, appeared before the Commission
and :.oted they owned property at 1660 Scuth State College Boulevard - Graphi-
color, Inc. - and inquired how this would affect their tenant, and was there
any problem that could be caused by the proposed use.
Mr. Wells then presented letters from 24 local businessmer. in this area, indi-
cating no opposition. ~
Commissioner Kaywood inquired whether or not this was officially brought to the
attention of the Chamber of Commerce, and did they take any stand on it.
Mr. Wallach replied that i*_ had been brought to the attention of the Industrial
Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, although he did not know whether this was
an official meeting, and this was brought to the Industrial Committee because
of their past opposition, however, at that meeting they indicated they did not
oppose it, but they would not submit a letter endorsing it; and then in response
to Mrs. Kristal's question regarding possible effects upon Graphicolor, Inc.,
stated that a letter had been submitted by Graphicolor regarding the proposed
facility and f.ndicated theix endorsement of it.
Commf.ssioner Gauex then inquired of Mr. Lowry whether or not the Commission
could considez the additional parcel for pasking purposes, since this had not
been advert~.sed. '
Mr. Lowry stated that the M-1 2one had a provision for off-street parking,
which was not a part of the site so long as it was within 300 feet o£ the
property, however, there would be certain conditions for site development
standards in the parking area that would have to be made a co_idition if subject
petition were cons~.dered favorably.
THE HEARING WAS CL03ED.
Commissioner Allred offered a motion to deny Petition for Conditional Use Permit
No. 1301 on the basis that this was a prime industrial area, ar.d the proposed
use was commercial-recreation oriented; that this would, in effect, be spot
zoning; that the use should be established in the area designed for commercial-
recreation uses since it was important thst prime industrial property, particu-
larly where it waa adjacent to a railroad, shoul3 be retained for industrial
use and not allow a breakdown of the industrial area, since this was on the
north side of Katella Avenue and could not be associated with or considered
comparable to the Anaheim Stadium which was on the opposite side of the street.
The foregoing motion lost by a vote oF 3 to l.
Commissioner Rowland noted that there was a great deal of truth in Commissioner
Allred's statements with land use, which was uppermost in his mind; that it was
prime industrial area, but it was also true that the City of Anaheim had
penetrated this prime industrial area with its own recreational facility and
which cou13 have influenced everyone's thinking. Furthermore, he felt that a
~
~

•^.ONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1301 (Continued)
major project of this type deserved the action of a full Planning Commission
rather than just a quorumt that he wanted to hear from all of the Commissionerst
that he would not vote on the project before some evidence had been submitted
from the Chamber of Commerce, who evidently did not have as good a look at the
.r.;posal as they would like, therefore, this was one reason why he would prefer
having it continued until all of this information was before the full Commission.
Commissioner Gauer stated that he felt a project of this size should be con-
sidered by the full Commission~ that most of the activity would be scheduled
for evening and probably Saturdays and Sundays when industry was not busy, but
he still felt zhe entire Commission should voice their opinion on a proposal of
this magnitude.
Commissioner Rowland stated that he would vote against denial of this thing
simply because he felt he needed more time to review this, not necessarily
that he was in favor of the project.
Commissioner Allred stated that since the area north of Katella Avenue was
completely industrial and was developing as such, the propo~ed use would be
commercial-recreation ia nature, and if it had been proposed on the south side
of Katella Avenue, then he might consider it more favorablyt and that when rhe
Commission denied the mobilehome park, the basic reason for denial, even though
it was a residential use, any use proposed other than industrial would be an
encroachment into the industrial area.
Commissioner Kaywood inquired whether or not staff needed additional time to
analyze the proposed parking for this new facility; whereupon staff stated
that in order to be on the safe side, this could be readvertised for the next
public hearing.
Commissioner Gauer was of the opinion that since this was a major project,
perhaps the City could look into this as beinq valuable to the City's income
resources, however, one of the Commissioners was particularly interested in
any industrial development, and since he was unable to be present at this public
hearing, consideration should be given to having him express his viewpoints.
Commissioner Allred noted that in view of the fact that this was a commercial
use in an industrial area, although he felt this use was needed in the city, it
should be placed in its proper location rather than utilizing prime industr3.a1
property, particularly with a railroad immediately adjacent to the property,
and he was not desirous of breakin<; down the industrial area since there would
be a time when the city would need more industrial area and there would be none
available.
Commissioner Kaywood offered a motion to reopen the hearing and continue con-
sideration of Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 1301 to the meeting of
April 17, 1972, to allow time for ataff to advertise the parcel proposed for
additional parking and for a full Commission to be present. Commissioner
Rowland seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

Temporary Chairman Gauer inquired whether there was anyone present in opposition
and received no response.
Although the Report to the C~immission was not read at the public hearing, it
is referred to and made a part of the file.
Mr. Don Robbias, real estate agent of the Mobil Oil Corp., 11001 Valley Mall,
E1 Monte, aqent for the pe~titioner, appearPd before the Commission and stated
he concurred with statements ma@e in the Report to the Commission except that
in paragraphs 5 and 8 staff referred to the use as being a carwash and three
gaaollne serv~.ce bays - these should be considered islands, not service bays,
since first and foremost this was a carwash not a service station.
Mr. Robbins then noted that in order for the Commission to visualize what was
being proposed, Mr. Jacobs from Mobil Oil Corp. was setting up a model of the
proposed facillty, which was a new design that Mobil Oil had formulated; that
there were no typical beams as other carwash facilities nad, but would be a
low~line building which could hardly be seen; and that this would be a carwash
facility with incidental sales of gasolir,e, and the usual services fo•ind in
sexvice stations, such as oil changes, batteries, tires, trailess, car service,
etc., weze not being F-roposed.
Commissioner Kaywood inquired whether it was the petitioner's intent to have
gasoline sales without a car wash.
Mr. Robbins stated this was an integral part of the facility; that the hours
of operation would be from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; that there would be only
two salaried employees who would be manning the gasoline pumps; that there
could be car washes without gasoline sales; that the customer would have to
drive his own vehicle through the carwash; that there would be no interior
vacuuminq or outside detailing after the vehicle went through the carwash,
therefore, there would be ao need for considerable parking; that from similar
operations they had in the East, they would be filling the most ~requent need
of the averaqe automobile owner, namely, gasoline sales and carwashes; and that
they had made a traffic count at the intersection, which indicated a total of
44,531 vehicles at this intersection during the time their facility would be
open and in operation. Furthermore, they expected to have a volume of 13 cars
per hour, which would be only 4/10+k of the traffic volume.
Commissioner Gauer inquired about the number of signs being requested and asked
for clarification; whereupon Mr. Roberts stated they planned to have a price
siqn incorporated within one sign, but there would be additional signing at the
intersection.

CONDSTIONAL US5 PERMIT NO. 1302 (Continued)
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted that there were three other signs
proposed which would be islaad message signs of the three-sided type and would
be located on the pump islands.
Commissioner Kaywood inquired whether or not these message signs were really
necessary since the price of the car wash and gasoline were already on the front
sign; whereupon Mr. Robbins stated that since this was an oal company opexation,
there weze special messages about the products which they wanted to advertise.
Commissioner Kaywocd noted that she had driven by one of the Mobil gas stations
where signing had been denied by the Commission and approved by the City
Council, and £ound in addition to the signs permitted, there were more signs
being added, therefore, what would stop the petitioner from installing addi-
tional signinq once this petit.ion was approved - it appeared that one sign led
to numerous other signs.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Allred offered Resolution No. PC72-62 and moved for its passage
and adoption to grant Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 1302 for the use
requested and deny waivers for the signs, and subject to conditions.
Prior to roll call, discussion was held by the Commission regardinq the ingress
and egress an3 parcentage of traffic to this facility compared with total
traffic count at this intersection, and then inquired whether or not cars from
retail automobile dealers, etc., would be brought to be washed.
Mr. Robbins replied that they would hope for the business, however, because
there would be only two employees, it would be difficult for these employees
to sit in the cars while going through the carwash cyclet and that it would be
impossible for them to handle any volume car washes from dealers.
O£fice Engineer Jay Titus, in response to a question by Commissioner Allred,
regarding ingress and egress being too close to the intersection, stated that
this groblem might be resolved by making it a condition that the petitioner
resol:e ingress and egress problems to the satisfaction of the City Engineer,
and that the additional 3 feet being requested in the recommended conditions,
above and beyond that already dedica*ed for street purposes, was to provide a
25-foot radlus return.
Commissioner Allred then included in his motion the additional conditions of
requiring ingress and egress to Anaheim Boulevard and Ball Road be subject to
approval of the City Engineer, and that the condition that a 6-foot strip of
landscaping be provided along Anaheim Boulevard and Ball Road. (See Reso2ution

Mrs. Lillian Hays, the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and stated
that since there were commercial uses around her property, she felt the request
was approgriate. ~
Commissioner Allred noted that the petitioner proposed only four parking spacea
and inquired whether or not the fifth one could be obtained through additional
design.
Mrs. Hays then presented revised plans that indicated a circular drive entering
and exiting from Sequoia Avenue, and then in response to a question by Commis-
sioner Kaywood, stated that ln the first plan they would have to remove a fence
to reach the concrete slab in tha rear of the property, however, this was no
longer necessary with the new circulation plan.
Commissioner Rowland noted that the circular @rive appeared to be in the public
right-of-way; whereupon Mrs. Hays stated that this was in their side lot line
and was not in the public right-of-way.
Commissioner Gauer noted that his major objection was the fact this would be
spot zoning and would be breaking down the entire residential area by the
proposed use; whereupon Mrs. Hays reiterated the fact that they were adjac~nt
to a neighborhood shopping center known as Murray Manor.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted that the staff had never seen the plans
presented by Mrs. Hays until they were presented to the Planning Commissian,
therefore, they had not evaluated them.
Commissloner Kaywood inquired of Mrs. Hays whether o~_nct she had six or seven
neighbors waiting for approval of subject petition;~w7~uld also request commer-
cial use of their property; whereupon Mrs. Hays stated she did not know but
doubted very much that her neighbors would be requesting commercial zoning or
commercial use of their properties.
The Commission, in viewing a picture of the property, noted there was a sign
over the door indicating that a notary service was in existence; whereupon
Mrs. Hays stated that this notary sign had been there since the property was
annexed from the County.
Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry stated that unrier the home occupation, some
uses were permitted as a nonconforming use, however, if the use were to be
expanded, then the sign as indicated an the property would have to be removed.
Mr. Roberts advisPd the Commission that under law a notary was required to
post a sign.
Commissioner Allred offered Resolution No. PC72-63 and moved for its passage
and adoption to deny Petition for Variance No. 2342 on the basis that this
would be establishing spot zoning and would establish a precedent for similar
requests from residents in this areat and that although subject property was
adjacent to a shopping center, the use should be established in a commercial
area. Furthermore, this area was not included by the Planning Commission and
City Council in their adoption of the Study of Homes Fronting on Arterial
Highways as being appropriate for commercial uses.
Commissioner Rowland requested that an additional finding be made that in the
interpretation of the law as it provides for a variance, the petitioner had
not demonstrated th re were extraordinary circumstances or that the petitioner
was being deprived~ right not enjoyed by other single-family homes in the
area.
Commissioner Allred concurred that this would be a part of his motion. (See

Although the Report to the Commission was not read at the public hearing, it is
referred to and made a part of the file.
Mr. Andrew Hoffart, tne petitioner, appeared before the Commi~sion and noted
that he was unaware of the fact that Broadway was an arterial highway, and an
B-foot high wall could be built in the front setback.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts advised the Commission that an 8-foot wall
would be permitted in accordance with the adoption of the Study of Residential
Homes Fronting on Arterial Highways, however, the variance was required,
according to the City Attorney, because a swimming pool was proposed in the
required front yard and was considered a structure.
Mr. Hoffart stated that Royal Pools had advised him of the minimum distance
the pool could be located fzom the front property line, however, now he was
desirous of increasing this encroachment into the front yard setback.
Commissioner Allred noted that the plans indicated the pool wauld be 8 feet
from the front property line, and he would hope that the petitioner intended
to construct the wa~l with a minimum landscaped setback of 5 feet.
Mr. Hof~art replied that he had two large palm trees at each corner and planned
additional landscapir.g in frunt o£ the wall, but he wanted to move the pool
farther to the front.
Commissioner Rowland noted that this would be a structural problem, and the
Buildinq Department would require a given setback, however, he would be willing
to allow the petitioner to use as much of his front yard as possible. but he
would hope that the Commiss~on would not permit the wall to be constructed by
right at the property ].ine and require that a given setback be provided, to-
gether with additional landscaping, and since the petitioner had stipulated to
providing landscaping in the setback area, this met the intent he was stating.
Commissioner Allred offered Resc+lution No. PC72-66 and moved for its passage
and adoption to grant Petition for Variance No. 2347, subject to conditions
and the stipulation of the petitioner to provide a 5-foot landscape setback

(Wagner-Gittelson) - Request for clarification on
maintenance of landscaping.
2oning Supervisor Charles Roberts presented to the Commission a request from
the agent for the petitioner regarding conditions attach~d in the approval of
subject petitions, and then read said conditions, noting the point which
needed clarification was the intent of the Planning Commission as to the main-
tenance of the landscaping required along the S-foot wall on the north side of
Jamison Street, since it was staff's understanding, based on the conditions of
the Interdepartmental Committee, that the 7.andscaping would be maintained by
the property owner, Mr. Wagner, whose property was being scr~ened by this 8-
foot wall, and that perhaps the agent for the petitioner would like to speak
to the Commission regarding this.
Mrs. 7~nn Madison, 600 South Harbor Boulevard, appeared before the Commission
and noted that she did not want ttie petitioners to go before the City Council
with any more striices against themt that they had understood from the Report
to the Commission that Mr. Wagner had agreed to landscape maintenance if the
wall were inset, however, now the developer was proposing a straight wall, and
the parkway would be in the public right-of-way, therefore, Mr. Wagner did not
want to have anything to do with this because this would be a real hardship
for him to maintain it because of his age - 75 years.
Commissioner Rowland noted that he wanted either Mr. Wagner or the developer
to meintain the landscaping since he did not want the City to be forced to
maintain this landscaped area in perpetuity any more than was required o£ any
other project.
tdrs. Madison noted that the reasan the street was so designed was in the event
the Wagner property in the future were developed, homes could be built on a
cul-de-sac, but the developer preferred backing up the homes to this street.

ITEM NO. 1 (Continued)
Commissioner Rowland noted that there were many hold-out parcels tiroughout
the city that were becoming problem parcels for the City and their owners
because they were held out without any thought being given to what miqht happen
in the future - ten, twenty, or forty years from now.
Mrs. Madison also noted that she had discussed the maintenance of the landscap-
ing with Superintendent of Parkway Maintenance Ron Woll, who had advised her
that all that was needed was a one-inch line so that staff could turn on the
water for these trees during the summer, since they were not watered in the
winter, and since they would be watering the parkway on Sunkist Street, it
would not be difficult to turn on these few sprinklers.
Commissioner Rowland noted that waiver of this requirement would be out of
the jurisdiction of the Commission, ~ot~g~~ ,e Cit~~ay for the water
and labor for these trees, although :i-..~~-i+3a tiwaar-------g that Commissioner
Seymour stated he did not want Mr. Wagner to maintain the parkway.
Commissioner Kaywood stated it was her intent that Mr. Wagner maintain the
landscaping.
Mrs. Madison noted she wanted this to be made clear so that they would have
reason Eor requesting this to be waived when it was considered by the City
Council.
Mr. Rok,erts noted that if these trees were along an arterial highway, the City
would assume maintenance responsibility, h~wever, in recent months the City
Council had added a condition in their approval of certain tracts and reclassi-
fications that they would reserve the right to maintain the lands~aoing, and
that in the past the City had ne~.er maintained landscaping on local streets.
Mr. Roberts, in response to a question by Commissioner Rowland, stated that
certain of the Councilmen had expressed concern as to the expense in maintain-
ing parkways, therefore, their thinking might be there would be alternatives.
Mrs. Madison stated that they would be glad to install whatever the Superin-
tendent of Parkway Maintenance suggested.
Commissioner Kag~qodwstate it was her recollection that the Engineer, Mr.
Queyrel, stated ~wo maintain the landscaping, and that she thought this
was in exchange for permitting an 8-foot wall.
Mrs. Madison noted that this maintenance would not be practical for Mr. Waqner
to take care oE the landscaping since he cauld not see it, and the Wagner
property had nothing to do with the subdivision of the other property.
Commissione~: Gauer inquired whether or not the Commission had a right to con-
sider the izquest; whereupon Mr. Roberts stated that Mrs. Madison was only
askinq whether the Commission intended to have the last sentence deleted as
it pertained to Mr. Wagner maintaining the landscaping adjacent to the wall.
Commissioner Gauer was of the opinion that this should be the prerogative of
the City Council as to who would maintain this landscaping.
Commissioner Rowland offered a motion to request that staff bring the Commis-
sion's discussion on the maintenance of the landscaping on the north side of
Jamison Street adjacent to the 8-foot wall before the C:Lty Council, requesting
that the City Council make the determination as to the responsibility for said
maintenance. since the cost ratio factor was not within the jurisdiction of
the Planning Commission. Commissioner Kaywood seconded the motion. MOTION

201 West Ball Road - On-sale liquor with waivers -
Staff request for clarif.ication of use granted by
the resolution: whether for one year or whether
by riqht; whether or not the use of the residence
was denied or whether the residence could be used
for rental purposes for one year, with the right to
request additional time.
2oninq Supervisor Charies Roberts presented the request of staff for clarifica-
tion of the resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 1294 as to the
intent of the Planning Commission, and then reviewed the resolution as prepared,
noting the reason why ••aiver of the required scae3nfootds~~pinoftlandscaping Was
qranted, time limitation allowed for providing P
adjacent to t:~e right-of-way and 28 in the parking area.
Discussion was held by the Commission and staff regarding the use and the
Commission's intent, Commissioner Rowland being of t: ~pinion that the use
for on-sale liquor be consinered a permanent use; that L,ie waivers for use of
the residence and landscaping requirement were, in effect, denied, but the
petitioner was given one year to terminate use of the residence for residential
purposes and 15 months for completion of the landscaping requirement, which
would mean that the residence would have to be removed in order to meet the 28
landscaping requirement in the rear parking area.. Furthermore, Commissioner
Gauer requested that the bar be screened from the dining area as had been re-
quired in the past wher.e a combination of a bar and dining area were proposed.
Commissioner Kaywood noted sY.e had voted against the proposei use because the
petitioner was already building a bar, therefore, it would appear that the
petitioner and agent were presuming the Commission would approve the request.
Mr. Roberts then restated the Commission's intent by stating that the request
for on-sale liquor was granted; that waiver 1-a, residential use of the exist-
ing residence, was denied on the basis that it was an inap~ropriate land use.
however, the Planning Commission granted the petitioner one year to discontinue
the rental use of the structure; that waivers 1-b and 1-d were denied on the
basis that there was adequate area to provide parking to the rear of the build~•
ing, thereby utilizing a portion of the front parking area for the required
landscaping, however, the Commission granted the petitioner 15 months to comply
with these landscape requirements since the petitioner stipulated that the land-
scaping would be iastalled within said period of time; and that waiver 1-c,
requiring landscaping betwaen the commercial and residential uses, was granted
on the basis that the 10-foot wa11 0£ the carports on the R-3 units adequately
separated the two uses. Furthermore, that the bar shall be screened from the
dining area.

be required. Therefore, he requested the Planning Commission's clarification.

Commissioner Rowland stated it was his opinion that the architect stated he
would relocate a portion of the covered parking stalls.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor pon McDaniel stated that the architect's figures
stated that 53 parking stalls were not necessary.
Mr. Roberts noted that the reason this was presented to ttie Commission without
a report was because the architect had submitted plans for a building permit,
and upon checking the plans against what was approved by the Commission, it was
determined that the plans in the Suilding Department did not provide the required
53 parking stalls, although some of the covered stalls had been relocated, the
spaces where they were formerly located were taken up with open parking.
Commissioner Rowland then stated that if the petitioner did not wish to meet the
conditions of approval of the resolution for Conditional t)se Permit No. 1289 as
had been granted at a public hearing, he would have to present this at another
adve-tised public hearing.
Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry advised the Commission that sinae Condittonal
Use Permit No. 1289 was considered at a public hearing, any amendnents or
deletions of conditions would have to be considered at a public hearing.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts advised the Commission that any future items
brought under Reports and Recommendations for clarification woulc. be accompanied
by a copy of the minutes and thp resolution, together with a printed report, in
order that the Commission might be fully apprised of what was being requested.
ITEM NO. 4
STREET LIGHT STANDARDS IN THE SANTA ANA
CANYON AREA.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor pon McDaniel reviewed for the Commission the
proposal which had been presented to the Commission at the March 20, 1972
meeting regarding establishing by policy street lig{henPlanninVeCommissi neim
Hills as a standard for Santa Ana Canyon, however, 4
requested pictures of the lights and allow time for the Commission to consider
the proposal.
Commissioner Rowland stated he was not interested in cost figures which sppeared
in the report, since this fell within the jurisdictiori of the City Council.
Furthermore, he could not vote for it since it was his belief that the source of
light needed no glorification - it was the light itself that was of utmost
importance, and if he voted for this proposal, he would be unable to face his
staff because of his previous statements regarding lights.
Commissioner Kaywood noted that she was personally disappointed in t.he develop-
ments being offered by Anaheim Hills - Grant Corporation - with all the waivers
that were requested, they aere not developing anything beautiful, therefore,
there was no reason to consider lights.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted that the City Council had already
approved i:hese lights for Anaheim Hills, however, staff felt that they should
also be required of other developments throughout the canyon.
The Commission was of the ~pinion that this should be presented to the Commission
at the next meeting when a full Commission would be present, rather than with
only a minimum quorum. Therefore, they would suggest that this be re-scheduled
for the April 17 meeting.
ADJOURNMENT FOR DINNER - Commissioner Allred offered a mction to adjeurn for
dinner. Commissioner Gauer seconded the motion.
MOTION CARRIED. The meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m.
RECONVENE - Chairman Farano reconvened the meeting at 7:33 p.m.,
Commissioners Herbst, Rowland, and Seymour being
absent .

MINUTES, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, Apr~l 3, 1972 72-167
AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18 - PUBLIC HEARING. INITIATED BY THE ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING
ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE COMMISSION to consider amendments to Title 18, Chapters
18.26, R-2-5000 Zone and site development standards of
Chapters 18.13, R-H-10,000, Residential Hillsidej 18.18,
R-E, Resi3ential Estate; 18.20, R-O, One-Family Sub-
urban; and 18.24, R-1, One-Fami].y Residential, Zones.
Chairman Farano noted that since three of the Commissioners were not present at
the hearinq, it was the opinion of the remaining Commissioners that the public
hearing not be he].d and evidence not presented either by staff or interested
persons, par*_icularly since these amendments were of utmost importance and
should have the feelings of a full Commission expressed bef~re submitting any
recommendations to the City Council. However, if there were any comments from
interested persons regarding the continuance of these amendments. the Commission
would be glad to hear them.
Mr. Larry Matzick, representing Ponderosa Homes, 2082 Businesa Center Drive,
Newport Beach, appeared before the Commission and stated that regardless of
whether the Commission considered these amendments at this meeting or at a
future meeting. he would like to have staff present the proposed changes in
order that it might enable some of the developers to bring in some presentation
at the next hearing.
Chairmar. Farano stated that the Commission would be interested in anything the
developers had to say and any special information they could submit would be of
interest to the Commission, but in fairness to all, it would be difficult to
hear this in parts and pieces - this was the only reason why he did nbt want
staff to make their presentation, rherefore, he could not see any reason why
Mr. Matzick could not convey some of the thinking to staff so that staff could
incorporate it into their presentation.
Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberts noted for the Commission that it was his
understanding that Mr. Matzick wanted the information staff had presented at
this meeting.
Chairman Farano then noted that there was a quorum present, and the hearing
could be opened. However, if Mr. Matzick was not cognizant of the information
which staff made available to the Commission, this could be presented to him.
Mr. Matzick noted that he was in the process of completing the engineering of
a very large project on the north side of Santa Ana Canyon Road, and they wou?d
soon be ready for the building pads and housing designs, therefore, if staff
could comm.nt, this would be appreciated since his company was committed to
develop in accordance with what the Planning Commission and City Council might
adopt, and it would be helpful to know whzt staff's thinking was, and that he
was present basically to obtain further information.
Chairman Farano then stated that this was not a game, because the Planning
Commission had been very concerned about the manner '_n which R-2-5000 develop-
ments had been carried forward and consummated in Anaheim, and the amendment to
Title 18 was the result of the Planning Commission's thinking and their concerted
effort to improve the overall living environment of the residents in the R-2-5000
home=, and there was no reason why Mr. Matzick was not entitled to hear the
information to be presented to the Commission in advance in order that he could
present something that could be of benefit to the Commission, therefore, he
would suggest that staff read ~ hat was proposed.
Assistant Development Se.rvices Director Ronald Thompson advised the Commission
that all developers of R-2-5000 homes in Anaheim and potential developers, as
well as the B.I.A. and homeowners group~, had been sent a copy of the proposals
which the Commission was given.
Chairman Farano then stated that since the developers had copies of the propos-
als, there would be no reason for reading them.
Mr. Ron Dickerson, representing Grant of California, stated he was interested
in how this amendment would affect the R-H-10,000 Zone since they were in the
grading stage.

MINUTES, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, ApXil 3, 1972 72-168
AMENDMENT TO_TITLE 18, ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE (Continued)
Mr. Thompson noted that the site development standards of the residential zones
were being considered because the Planning Commission and City Council had
expressed concern regarding the distance between the garages and the front
right-of-way line, particularly where a driveway went straight in from the
street, and in the event a change was made to the minimum required setback of
the garages in the R-2-5000 Zone, it would also affect the other residential
zones.
Chairman Farano then noted that it would appear that if the developer was already
grading, there might be a question of legal interpretation as to whether or not
any site development standard amendments would be affecting property already in
the first stages of deve~opment.
Mr. Dickerson stated that they would like to conform to the City standards as
much as possible.
Chairman Farano advised developers that it was the opinion of the City Attorney
that those developments which had not begun construction would be affected
by the new ordinance, notwithstanding the fact that there may have been variances
granted before, and then inquired of Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry whether
or not this would constitute zoning if a c.lient was in the grading stage.
Mr. Lowry stated that it was extremely di£ficult to answer the questior_ since
he did not know ~ahat the Commission or City Council might do.
Chairman F•arano noted that since Mr. Dickerson had stated they were already
grading, did this legally constitute commencement of construction?
t4r. Lowry stated it would depend upon what the outcome was of the Planning
Commission and City Council action and official ordinance of the City, however,
as a general rule, one would be safe in followiny the opinion of Mr. Geisler,
since work had proceeded at this point the new zoning would not agply, but this
was a general rule.
Mr. Dickerson noted that Chapter 18.13, R-E, Residential Hillside, Zone indicated
where cars could be parked, and they had designed in accordance. However, if
thev were affected by the proposed zoning, they would have to redesign all four
of their tracts.
Chairman Farano then apologized for placinq Mr. Dickerson's client in a predica-
ment and recommended that he contact the City Attorney's office for clarification
of this.
Mr. Dickerson replied that they had a clear understanding since they had already
discussed this with the City Attorney and the Development Services Pepartment,
and what he was concerned about was the four tracts falling within the precepts
of the new interpretation, and that he was opposed to any continuance and would
prefer having staff present ±he new proposals.
A showing of hands indicated that the majority of the persons present to conslder
the proposed amendments to Title 18 would pre£er an evening agenda.
Commissioner Kaywood offered a motion to continue consideration of Amendment to
Tit12 18, Anaheim Municipal Code, Chapters 18.13, 18.18, 18.20r 18.24, and 18.26
to the meeting of April 17, 1972, to be scheduled at 7:30 p.m. in order to
allow a full Commission to be present. Commissioner Allred seconde~?. the motion.
MOTION CARRIED.

CONDITIONAL USE - PUBLIC HEARING. UNITED BROTHERHOOD OF CARPENTERS & JOINERS
PERMIT NO. 1300 OF AMERICA - LOCAL UNION N•~. 2203, Attention C. M. Oldham,
f,08 West Vermont Avenue. Anaheim, California 92805, Owner;
requesting permission to ESTASLISH AN EXISTING UNION HALL
AS A CONFORMING USE AND PERMIT ITS EXPANSION on property described as: A
regularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 3 acres, having a
frontage of approximately 195 feet on the south side of Vermont Avenue, having
a maximum depth of approximately 40Q feet, and being located approximately 592
feet west of the centerline of Harbor Boulevard, and turther described as 608
West Vermont Avenue. Property presently classified R-A, AGRICULTURAL, ZONE.
Chairman Farano inquired whether there was anyone present in opposition and
received no response.
A).though the Report to the Commission was not read at the public hearing, it is
referred to and made a part of the file.
Mr. C. M. Oldham, agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commission and
noted that the recommended conditions were acceptable to them, and the proposal
was to add an addition to the side of the present structure; that the appearance
and uses would be the same as before and the public meeting place would not be
enlarged; that it would not increase the traffic into the area; and that there
would be no larger groups than had been +itilizing the facility in the past.
A letter of opposition from a nearby property owner was read to the Commission.
Mr. Oldham noted that when they had applied in 1956, this same person had
objected to the use with the same objection; that the hall was rented out for
various activities, but some of the activities were opposed by this person
because ef the noise, and this had been more or less eliminated; that although
many people were involved and used this facility, he did not feeZ there was any
rowdyism; that they had very good relations with the Police Department and have
always complied with any suggestions made by the Police and Traffic Departments;
that some groups to whom they had rented previously had b::en eliminated because
of suggestiuns made by the Police Department; and then in response to a question
by Commissioner Gauer, stated that some of the Mexican groups had meetings on
Sunday, usually all day, and completed them by 8:00 p.m.
Commissioner Gauer inquired whether or not people renting this facility brought
in their own liauor; whereupon Mr. Oldham stated that as far as he knew, only
beer was brought because the City and ABC would be checkir.g this; and that they
did not serve liquor on the premises.
THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Allred offered Resolution No. PC72-68 and moved for its passage
and adoption to grant Petition for Conditional Use Permit No. 1300, subject to
conditions. (See Resolution Book)

RECLASSIFICATION NO. 71-72-38 AND C~NDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0. 2346 (Continued)

FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING~ ~2) MINIMUM REQUIRED LANDSCAPED
FRONT SETBACK~ AND (3) MINIMUM DISTANCE SETWEEN COVERED
PARKING SPACES AND DWELLING UNITS TO PERMIT A 98-UNIT
APARTMENT COMPLEX.
Chairman Farano inquired whether there was anyone present in opposition, and a
sho~ving of hands indicated two persons present.
Assistant Zoning Supervisor pon McDaniel reviewed the location of subject
property, uses established in close proximity, and the proposal to construct a
98-unit, one and two-story multiple-family residential development on tY.e entire
property; that the plans indicated a perimeter dri~e providing access to the
parking areas that would enter from and exit to Crescent Avenue; that the Anaheim
General Plan indicated the area in question as being appropriate for medium
density residential development, and the R-3 2one was one of those zones that
would implement this designation, therefore, it would appear that the zoning
proposed for the property would be appropriate; that the wziver of the maximum
height within 150 feet of single-family residential zone was being requested
because one unit would be located 132 feet from the R-1 property to the east,
and the remainder of the 97 units would be more than 150 feet from the R-1 Zone;
that the density proposed was approximately 24.87 dwelling units per net acre,
or 1753 square feet of net land area per dwelling unit, and the coverage was
approximately 41$; that the waiver of the front setback was neaessary because
the applicant was proposing to construct a carport within 150 feet of the north-
erly property line along Crescent Avenue, however, the pruperty line at one point
was offset approximately 10 feet, rendering th~ 15-£oot setback, in actuality,
25 feet from the major portion of the right-of-way line along Crescent Avenue;
that the waiver was also necessary because the applicant was proposing to provide
guest parking within 15 feet of the front property line along the easterly
boundary of the property, and it would appear that based on the circumstances
inv~lved in this application and the size and shape of the parcel, this request
would be appropriate; that waiver of the maximum distance between the units and
parking stalls was being requested for 16 of the 98 units - these would be 16
units near the Crescent Avenue frontage in the center of the project, and it
would be di.fficult with the size and shape of the particular property involved
to provide parking stalls any closer without dividing the site with vehicular
accessways, and the obvious conflicts of vehicular and pedestrian traffic would
seem to outweight the inconvenience of providing parking within 200 feet of
these 16 units, therefore, the Commission might wish to consider this proposal
to be an appropriate land use and the waivers to be appropriate for this parti-
cular site plan.
Mr. Joseph Woollett, representing the agent and architect for the petitioner,
3111 Second Avenue, Corona del Mar, appeared before the Commission and stated
that it was their opinion this was a qood use for the property; that the car-
ports proposed adjacent to the freeway formed a good buffer, and it would be
unfartunate if single-family d_velopment occurred at that site; that the site
was irregular, and it would be an unfortunate situation if they were required
to divide the parcel in order to locate the 16 units closer than 200 feet; and
that only one unit violated the 150-foot, single-story height regulation, and
this was the corner section of the unit where no windows would be overluoking
the single-family home.
Mr. Loyal Pumphrey, 1830 Westmont Drive, appeared before the Commission, noting
that he also was opposed to the 98-unit apartment development whicl: Lynn Thomsen
had previously presented; that he was not opposed to the single unit infringing
on the single-story height limitation adjacent to R-1, however, he had no oppor-
tunity to view the plans since he had been on vacation, therefore, he was not
sure whether he was opposed to the variances b~ing requestec:.
The Commission then suggested that the agent for the petitioner review the plans
with the opposition.
Mr. Pumphrey, upon reviewing the plans, stated that the plans were more accept-
able than those previously presented since the developer was providing a better
living environment, more landscaping, an3 proper circulation, therefore, he
would withdraw his opposition.

THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Kaywood inquired whether or not the developer was proposing any
type of soundpxoofing because of the location of this facility adjacent to the
freeway.
Mr. Gus Lyon, representing the developer, appeared before the Commission and
stated that they had a number of large developments which they had constructed
along freeways, and in this instance they wauld provide a parapet on the car-
port and would place very heavy insulation on all apartment units near the
freeway; and that their most recent development in Anaheim were the Greenview
units wherein they provided both landscaping and soundproofing, which appeared
to be very desirable.
Commissioner Kaywood offered Resolution No. PC72-69 and moved for its passage

No. 71-72-38 be approved, subject to conditions. (See Resolution Book)
