Sub~ect amendments were continuad frum the meetinr~ of February 5, 1973, $~ the
request oi the service ata~ion represen~atives and for a full Camr,isKion.
Two persons indicated their presoncQ in rr~gard to the proposed amendments.
Chairman Seymc~ur noted that tlie Commiesion had been ful.ly informed xa to the
praposed changr,s and inq•~ized whether ttie i.nterested persons had received the
recommended ch~nges. If so, then waiver of reading of ttie staff repart wosld
be so recommended.
aoth persons ir~dlcated they were fully informed as to the propoaed amendr..ents.
Alth~ugh the Feport ro the Commissian wss not read at the pub'.~.c hearing, it it~
referred to and made a part of the minutPS.
Mr, Frank Walke~, representing Western Oil & Gas Association, appeared before
the Commi~sion and noted that their trade association repreaented 90'A of the
petroleum industry ir, six wes~ern atatess that they had analyzed the staf•f
repnrt, and wbile there w~re many things they took issue with; he would limit
hia remarks to the more important aspect3:
1. The re~uirement of a conditional use permit ~ras somewhat dis~uxbinq sirice
such a vehicle was traditionally ased for controllin3 very unusual typ~ of
developmPnts in a city, and in the case of a aervice sta ion, which was a
com~~-ercial retatl facil.i.ty, thay felt did not require the conditional use pPrmit
procedure, aiid if i.t wexe required, it wou'ld be somewhat discriminatc~ry bacause
it did not apply to likQ retail t~uaineases, such as dri.ve-in restaurants ancl
supermar;cei;s, therefore, th~y would revuest that thls requirement be deleted.
2. Restt-lations as to locat~.on o~ a aervice station site - in referance tu
xequiring ~00 fr~L betweex- sexvice ~tta*_f.on aites on the same side af the street -
they were also oppoaed to that for a number ~£ reasons a~d would hesitate qoing
into the legal aspects~ howe•ier, in the Syracusa Law ~7ournal, specifi~ rulings
were set ~orth - these were then read by Mr. Wa~ker, who also read from a atate-
ment of the State p7.anning officials. Mr. Walker then noted that if this
reatriction was being done to restrict the numk~er and locati~n of sei•vice
stetiona, he felt this was unfair in the country'a free enterprise econouiy
because the 1aw of s~pply and demancl should qovern, and, therefore, he would
recommenQ that ~his requirement also be deleted.

THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commiasioner Herbs~ observed that Mr. Wal?cez had ststed he would like to be
tr~atee ].ike ever.y other businesrs, and inquired ir L•hia w~re an; whexeupon
Mr. walker stated thasc ~~ras r.atner a broad statement since gervice stulione in
Anaheim had b~zn g~.ven special treatment as to Aetback exposure.
Cammisaioner. Herbst the~i stated hc wou.ld be wilxing to w:ite rsn ordinance that
sezvice s~ati~ns ba treated lihe any vther busines$ - then most of the CitX's
problems would be solvedj whereupon Mr.. Walker stated that his organiantion
would be wi.lling to aqree to such a gtatement, since h~ migh~ be forcinq him-
self into an awkward situation, howevor, tY~e new aervica stations now being
constructFd exceeded any reguirements the Citiy miqilt liave.
Commiseione.r Kc~rbst noted that the oil companies had not used gooc~ judgmen~ -
th~.s ~-as the rPason for overbuilding the sdrvice stacione in Anaheim, and if
the ail companiea wanted to be tr~a~ed like othor busine9ses and still got
preferentlal treat-nent, the 500•-foo~ proposal was not unzeason~bl~ from all ~f
the atudiea he hac7. seen, and the City could only support a given number of
aervice statinna per 1,000 pe.reons, and if this wera followed, that there would
not be as many closed sexv3ce atatlons, however, ?~e hzd noteci that the newer
aervice atati.ons were being constructe~, in recognitfon ~af certatn pr.ob2ema, an~i
the atatl.ona were laraar and provided a larger area, therefore, in easence, they

eelvea ha3 brouql~t t•ho aituatian of amen~ing codea upon themaelvest that it was

Comm•1s91oner Farano inquirecl of Mro Walker whether his campany had made a s;:udy
as to the number of servica ~tation~ and ~.he number of perKOna whi.ch es sar.vice
skxtion could serve, and was h~ a~so aware of the fact that Anaheim ha3 one
aerviae ytation for every 764 perscns, while the .rocomnondatior~ Nas one c~orvi~-e
stati~r. for ~very 2,000 p~raone~ wher.eupon Mr. Walkor replied that hc di3 noL•
hava a study, but he wus awaz'e of Anuheim'v f~.gures.
Co:nmis3laner. Farano noted that Mr. Walkar had not uffered any solution as to the
problema the Commission has t.rying to ov~rcotne, and wouldn't he agree that the
~ity of Anahelm did have problemst whareupan l~ir. Walker atated he would reluc-
tantly agree that Rnah~im liad a problem.
Commissi~nar Farano then inquired what vehicle wa~ild Mr, Walker s~iggest ii he did
nat wa.i-t to have service s~.ationa appraved by conditiunal use permit, xnd Ghat
was the reaeonabl.e approach £or diatances between service stations on one side
of tha street, and what would he suggest to d•~ with a servic~ station when it
beaame a blight at an intersection havi~ng been vacant f'ar one and one-half to
more years~ anfl that ha u~ould like to have some recommendat.ions or alternatives
since t;he Commiasion was not trying tc discourage service stat3.ons operationa
but wanted to resolve tha problems that had been pzesented tu the Cit}~• where-
upon Mr. Walker etated thst he woul.d recommPnd that the City uae their existir!g
Code if these vacant service stations became a hazard to the publlc, which wuuld
rormit the City to tear them dawn and bill the owners for the aost of said
removal.
Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry advised thN Commis~ion that 2U service sta~ions
had been demolished in Che City o£ Anahel.m becauae of buil.ding fire and other
Code violationa, but the City could do nothinq about vacant aervice stations
Nh~ch were only aeven to siqht yeara old and were boarded up, because they had
compl~.e` wl.th the Code requiremc~nts wi.th slurry sand in the undergrouncl tanks.
meeting the Fire Code, ant~ the~:. ~tatiana cc~uld not be kouched under any City
Code, therefore, the City was forced to tha limit of their abillty~ and that
t.his situa ion had remained for tktA past four ypRrs.
~ Mr. Lowry, 3n reaponae to queationing b~ CommiaslonaX Farano, state@ tha` eer~~ice

rather than lar,ate them rather haphazardly~ whereuQon Mr. Wa:l.ker e~tated that thc~
haphazarc3 de~elopment of service stations in the 1940's wauld not be prevalent
these da}%s; that t•he tire, battery ar~d accessory salas have n~t increased be-
aauae depa~kmec~t a ~vres w~re no~; o; fariny tha~c itc:^s. =^d a? thnuah there were
more service stations in CaliFornia, the TBA sales had decreased by 1~ at
aervi.ce stations.
Commi.ssioner Farano then inquired wh~ther Mr. Walker. folk a mo:c scientif.ic
a.pproach would be better in the selection uf a bigger and better site whir,h
w~uld atford more protectian; wher~upon Mr. Wal.k~ar stated that an}• retail. busi-
noas did not want to be f.orced ir.to Lhe p~oition as to Aite l~cation and size,
but free enterpriae should takc~ car~ o~ this selection.
Commissioner Farano ths~n noted that tY-~ cond•ltionul use perfiit procedure did not
prohibit anyone from applying for a earvice station, becau~e under L•he condi-
tional uae permit, ono must present apecial ahovrings that thir. would not be
detrimental to the cityr where~xpon Mr. i~alker stated that a grHat daal depended
upon the makeup of a body, and he di~ noh feel a ~onditional use per~nit for eaat-
aite was nPCessary, and th.e oil compantes were subject to polic.ing themselves
because of economic.:.
Commiasioner Farano inquf_rerl whether iic was within Mr. Walker.'s knuwledqe to
etate ~hat vacant service stations more carefully selected would be more produc-
tive and have good productlve salPs than siCes tha* ~~eYe not aara£ully selecY.eds
whereupon Mr. Flalker stated that the oil com~ani~s munt sell a gtven number of
qallons af g~soline, reqardleas of the convenience and/or ;~ocation of a service
atation.
Commissioner Gauer observed that Gul.f Oil Comganx had one big servico atation in
Flo~ida snd an~thc~r Gu1f etation wms loca~ted in ResGon, Virginia, ~rhile Stxndard
011. had one in Columbia, and this wae by legislation of ~he citioe in which these

Mr. Lowry noted that the use uf a conditi.c,nal use pe:mit for ~ervice at.ations
and other drive-in op~rations was a rcquiromeiit tu determine +rhPther thi~ war~ r~
auitable area, and althc~.tgh the la~v might be a~ stateci in the Syracuse Jo~irnal,
however, this did riot apply to Cha Stxte of Calif.ornia; and thn~ pursuant to the
Mammoth case in 1971 in which all eervice atation~ were re~uired to be a m~.nimum
dir~tance of 1,G00 feet, this was uplield As an azbitrary business and was knawn to
be z public nuisance.
C~mmissioner Rowland obr~erved that it wc-a disce.rnible *hat the drivo-in aspects
of a ~er'v~.ae station di.ffered sumewhat fzom the c2ri.ve-in asp~ cts of u i:estauran~
since a service station was an outdoor activit~ serving vehi.cles, while the oth~r
wae servi.ng food, and the outdoor nature of a service atatiotz waa uniquo, and
trsffic engineers had long recoqnized the L•raff?c con£lict points, and this wac~
one of ~he reasc~ns why many cammunities required a minimum size as wRll as
spECifiG traffi.c-carrying capacii•y of a atr.eet befora a sezvice station wouicl
be allowed at a qiven areas that one naw tne abt~se of the. Servic~e S*.ati.on

stat•.funs serving automobilas vcrsua drivo-in restzLrantr~, oirec~ most of Lhe work

permit was a realistic tool which *_he community stzould ?iave at its 31~posal in
determining the appropria~eness of epecific uses.
Commissioner Alzred concu red in the statements made Ly other CommisEioners that
ct conditional use permit was the only met}~~d in which to ~ontrol aervice station
development .in tlie City of Anaheim.
Chaizman Seymour inqutred whether Mr. Walker wars familiar with the Int:ern.ational
Service Station Dealers A~csuciati.on and then quoted from a lettFr bf Mr. Tauihey
with the r.ecou~mended ordinance that ozganization had submitted; whereupore Mr.
Wa1kPr replied a~Efirmatively.
Chairman Seymour then aaked whethez or not Mr. Walker agreEd wlth the recommended
ordinance whic:h was inuch stiffer and ha~d a qreater number of requirrmer-ts ta be
met t2:an the Cicy of Anaheim's requirements~ whereupon rlr. Walker stated that he
had nat read their report, but the International Service Station Dealera 'rlsaocia-
tion was an organi~ation of self-operated stations and individuals, and obviously
they dld not want any more bus:.ness in competition, therefore, this might bs the
basis for Mr. Touahey'g requirements.
Commisaioner Rowland inquireci what t•ha main ab~e~~ive was of tha Western Oil &
Gas Associationj whereupon Mr. Walicer stated that the.ir association waa funded
by the major oil companies pr~vidlnq sorvices o£ appearing at public hearings
rather than hava each oil conpany represanted invidually, and that thPy qave
publicity and economic advics ta the oil companies.
Commissioner Rowlrnd tnen nated that this a~pQared to be a lobbying orqan9.zationj

~ommissioner H~Y'b3t. noi:ed that sin~a trailera woulcl be o~ie ot• the thinqs that
the City would have, then the scxe~ninq shouid Ue upgrade~l; whereupun Ftx,
Werderitach stated thar most of the service statians had 6~foot wa11s, ttr~d the
one aervice sta~ion where U-Haul trailers and truc':s were located, aa diacueaed
bV Commissioner Gauer, had been built prior to the wall ordinance, and, c~~iso-

Commissioner Elerbst inquired what the rental palicy wa:a o~ the U-Ha~xl ar to tt-e
types of vehicle3 permitted on tl~e aervice atation site whezein aix ~:c~ geven
were permitted, but there were not only carry-a11 trucks and mntior vehicl.es, but
big van L-railers; whereupon Mr. Werderitsch stated tY~at they had three diff.erent
cl~saif.icat•lot:s of dealers: Class A, AA, and AAA, the lattez handling all o~
their ec?uipment.
Commissi~ner Herbst stated that if thesa trailers weze perm~tt~d by con3itional
u~s~ pPrmit on a servicz station aite, then the Commission could tie the tyPe of
equipment per.mittFd by thA cl:.ssific~tion set t•orth by U-Haul; Y.hat there were
some atations in Anaheim wherein ten trailers t-ad been p?rmitted, however, th~
n~ext thing one knew there w~,s a cenglomer.at~ or di.f.ferent typea u~ trailere on
the aite, which was not the intent of the Cummission i-. approving ten trailera.
Commisaioner Itowland inquired what tho var3.~us classification~ A, AA, an~ AI+A
meant in ra*.inq of dealers - was it bASed upon ~:c~z~cmics, sales abil~ty, or
their facili.L•yj whereupon Mr. Werderitaoh t~tated that it ~vas b~ssad on both gize
of the site and operating ab~lity, and if the site were large enough, t:,ey miq:~t

~o~nmio~ioner I:aywood theti inouirecl whether L•he t~omes would be vi.sible fr~~m the
golf coursej whez'eupon Mr. ~tadgei~~ stated that the homes c~uld be seen to a
degree - that the homeg we:'e on top of a hill, but mar.y of the homes would l~dve
a 41-foo*_ rear yard, although it was possible that they could be se9n from a
~iist .nce - ttiey would not ne seen if one stood dire~tly balaw the slope.
Mr. Rodgexs, in r~sponse to questi~ning by Comm~.ssionera A21red and Kayw~od,
noted that Lot No~. 34, 3S, and 36 af Tract No. 8215 were shallow lota that were
widea' tb~n 70 feety tYiat because of the layout oP the land and the topography,
this r~~sulted in a v~ry narrow "goos~neck" alignmes~t of Canyon Rim Ro~d, a~iding
up with a ver,y narrow piece oF land with considerable slope, and it was the' -
inteni. to have spec.ially c~es:lg;~ad hames for those three lots ~ whPreas L-i~~ ~ther
lo..s would :~e developdd ~vith their ~tandard homex.
Commissioner Rowland inqui'ced whether a model would be dev~loped on one of k:hese
tract~ or would the rnodele in Woodcrest be used to aell the~e let~ s wher~upori
Mr. Rodgers staL•~~d that they did not intend to develop a model on these i.~~~ -g,
but there would be a pZot platt and perhaps a detail plan of one of the homes,
Cummissi.oner Rowland then etated that hi~ concern ~•~as th : fact thaC L~t Nos. 34,
35, and 36 of Tract No. 8215 had most. of their rear yarG area iii alope, and it
w~s the z.::~P~nsibility of the 3eveloper to advise piospective purchs~Aers of this
proulem since they werA noL gnlf course vaeW l~ts, and he wan~ed anyone inter-
est.ed i.n puraha~ing thQSe lots to be fully aware af the groblsm before pur.chasing
th~m~ whereupon btr. k~dgers stated that the three lots in ques ~ion wauld ha-re to
be handled i.n a very special a:anner; that a good poxtion ~£ the project was
aiready graded, and the property wotild not be available for eale until later in
the summer; and that most buyere we,nX out to view the oites beforo any purchase
was 3ecided upon.
Commissioner Rowl~nd observed that tbe parking study was very interesting and
muot have ourprised tt~e developer.
Mr. Rodgers~ in responae to queatiening r~garding t~hree-car qaraqea, stated that

the rear from GO fee~ - the w~.dth at the fror.t nortion in m~,st of the lots to
where the lot width at the .location of the striacture it~e1F was closer ~0 70
feet, and the majority of the lots in both tracts flared out ev~n it appeared
they were only 60 feet at front, therefore, although it appear•~ thn3e werQ
narraw tats, in ~ceality tl~ey were almoat standard at the building line.
Commissianar Herb~t inquired whether the developer could de~ign tho lots so
that there would be a minimur~ of 70-faot lots at th~ ~zouae line; whereupon
Mr. Rodgers state3 that in most instances the wid~h of the l~ta would bo mnre

Mr, Barisic chen reviewed tha v~.riuu~a lot widtha, notiny tl~e dif!'erence between
the width at the front af the lot and tY~e width at the rear, indicat•iny ttiat a

thac the Commisaion liad talkea about uniq~:e standard~, und in these ~lana they
had tr3ed t~ develap unique :~t:ar~dAZdat that perk~aps J.ater some o£ these problams
could be workpd out at work sessions~ that the tract maps preaented were about
half the density permitted in flatla~id areae, even though some o[ the lots had
5-foot aids yard :~etbackst and that they wotild like to develoo one-acre e~tates
in Anaheim Hills, but many pc!ople did not war~t lar.ge lots, although he imaqir~~d
that the larger flag l~ts havir.y 15-foot ~aide acces3ways would be ths first to
b~ sold, even though the average pere~n would not be purchaqing these lote.
Commissioner Herbst noted that the horties adjaaent to the qo1P courso in Fullerton
which had lot wi.dths were of more than 60 feet, people were having their lot~
fericed because oE tihe animals, and he aid not ~tant to ~ee the slo~~~s of these

Mr. Barisic noted that ther~ w~s additional slupe in the dark green araa of tt-~
map whiah was noL• the goli cour~e, and the lots flared to more than 100 feet i.n
many instances.
Commissioner Herbst wa.e of the opiniun tl:at the developex could redesign the
tracts ao that there would not be so many waivers from the standardo becaiiae
he was asking for 60$ to 70+t of the majority af the lots rut.hPr tnan 25~ to 30+h,
and no hardship had been proven or demonstr.ated, and i;o approve thia would be
destroying thQ City's standazda.
Mr. Rarisic noted ~hat Anaheim Hilla had tried to come up with concrete ordi-

that there was a grade separa~ion~ and that only somts of thg tope of the homas

Commiesior~er Allred ~nquir.ed whe*_her the E~ekition:~r had checked with the E~igi-
nec~ring Diviaion regarding the Rivor.da].e Avc~nue accea~.
Mr. Oscar. Whitebook, SFCretar.y of Liberty I,easing, Inc., appeared b~fore the
Commioai.on and nuted thmt tie had sp~Y,ci~ with the Zon.~nq Div~.sian sta£f ::egard-
ing dCl.~BII o~£ Riv~.rdale and Tuatin Av9nuc~~.
C~mmiasioner Allred ttien inquired of at~f.f ~••h~ther the developer had been noti-
fied ab~ut the ac~:ess tc, Riverdale and Tu~tin Avenuea.
Offi~o Enyineer .7ay Titus adviaed r.he Couimir~sian that the memorandum from the
Tr~ffic Sngi.neer ~t~ted that z~ccesa would be diff.ia~a) r, bc~•ause of the bridgs on
`PUStin Avenue and the ona on ~tiverdale c~eriouely impaired clesr vision from rhe
private drivewa}~a from thi~ progoaeil commErc-ial projectr that the driveway on
Riverdale should be 3U feet wicie with curb re~urnA~ that the drivsways ~n Tust~.n
Av~nue should be reduced from two to one a;~d placed tn the «pgrox.tm~3ta c4nter Qf
Y.he rzoperty und be constructed in the same mar-ner as thal: on River.dale; tha.
B~.ilding 1 could be reloca±e~i on the pro~erty J and i:hat a serv~.ce s tatioa at
thia location would not be desirak~le due to the ne~essary driveway locationa
for siir.h an oper.ation. Tn addit3.cii to comment~ by the 'Px'afflc Engineer, his
persoa,al feeling was that access to Ri.verdAle Avwnua f.rom this property would
be ex.tremely hazardous, and thE i.CCnq5 on Tur~tin Avenue wo~lld also be dangeious,
but it would be more desiraY,le than nny that would be propa9ed on Riverdale
Avenue becaus~ of the fast trafFic from the freeway overpass.
Mr. Whitebook atated that at the timE tY-e State had ~urject proper.ty 321C~ w9r~
planning to sell it to ~ buyer, the q~Yes~ion of access tco the property came up,
and thQ State specifi.cally asked the question o£ a~cess af the Ci?:y of Anaheim. -
and there was a copy of the letter in which the City assured the StaL•e there
wou'!d be no objection to ~~n accer~s width of 25 foet to tlie ~roperty ovEr the
old right-of-way or utility easement wnir.h had acc~~ss to J~fferoon Street; that
they had accepted that statement in good faith and purcY~ased the property with
that understand~.ng in mind, and his company hsd suggested that another access
ne added aside from that offered in order to make the propzrty acaepeable; and
that in merqing the two properties they did not do away with acceas but provided
additional acc~ss off Tustin Avenue from the r~ar of tlioir property. Further-
more, there presently was a servi.ce stati~n wliich had two entrances e:ach onLo
Tustin and Riverdale Avenues~ and if one looked at the plot plan and the eleva-
tion submitted, they were not requ~sting that there be a gas statior. since their
plan did nut raEer to a service station= that they proposed a"Stop and Go"
m~rket sincF that concern appease~ ta be interested in this property in one
r~eparate building, and they were working thraugh an agency and had persono inter-
estea in a reataurant, interior decvrating shop, and~or a L~ank; *_hat the main
commercial atore would be the food maxkat, xnd the building would be lengthwise
so thak it could be seen from the freeway or down the streetsj that the faci.lity
~_ ~._.._..
could be saen in sufficient time =ar peapie cv CIILCY it~.~~~ ~~~C ~..~t~~ of the bu 1-
inga or. either T~xstin or Riverdale Avenuesj and L•hat it did not appear to be any
more hazazdoua to enter this property xhan it would to enter the s~rvice station
property acrona the street.
Mr. Titue noted that although it woulci be dangerouo tc en~er or exit ~rom th2
property an Tuafiin Avenue, it would be vezy hazazdous on Riverdale Avenue bg-
cause of the restr~cted r~ight distance on Riverdale Aven~e far several hundred
feet because of the xate of speed croastnq over the crest of the freeway.

Commissionei Herbst ir-quir.~~d as to tihe typa of tre~tment that was propased f~r

whereupon Mr. Whitebook staL•ed thst the landscapiny would be bermed to halp
:hield from view the rear of the build:nc;s.
M~. Whitebaok then commented on the ecoz~umics, staking that tha ~tichfzeld ataticn
required b500 c:u-~ir. yarr3~ of fill, and they had a deal with tl~e W~ter ~ontrol
peopl~ because thay bad to scoup ~p the silt and sand from the charinel wt-ich
they would depc~sit oti subjec:t property, and the cost of the fill wou13 be one-
half the narmal coat because there would be no delfvery charge, howevc:r~ if

$35,000 aiici $40,000, and by using the Qrsnge Caunty Water Dtstrict ~il.t Ancl
sand, it would cost about $20,000.
Mr. Whitebook, in response to questioning by Commisaianer Ruwland, stated that
originally they had one parcel and the ruadway~ tllat they had worked with the
City and had 3edicated that pertion bptween Tuctin and R.tverdal~~ Avenuea - if the
bridue was widened to 100 feet, this dedication would taY.e care of the u2t3mate.
width; that the stzeeL• had been im~xoved wi.th curbs p'_aced there~ and that they
h~d posted a bor.d to insure that the sid~walks and other improvements would be
provlded, hawever, si.nce that time, nothinq else had taken place.
Commissioner Gauer expressed concern that granting blanke,t C--1 zozing without
~ny idea of what ~vas proposed for L•he entire parcel could present a problem.
Chairman Seymour nuted that this appeared to be an engineering problem~ and if
the Planning Commission aFproved subject petition, it ahcu].d be subject tn
approval and satisfactioii of the City Engineer, ho~~rever, the remaining question
was whether this was the ~raper pZaca f.or commercial developm~nt.
Commi.ssi.oner Seymaur offered a motion, seconded by CommissioneY• Farano and
M04'1'ON CARRIED, that thE Planning Commission, in conn~ction with an ~xemprion
declaration atatus requeat, finds and det~rmines that the proposal would ha~ve
no significant environmental impact, ana, thersfore, r~commends to the City

Chairman Seymour obaer~ved that although thc~ Plarininy c;ommiseiun hac? been ~pposecl
to the proposed txpe aigns, *.t~•c C~ty Council in ~hs past had approve~3 enid signs.
Mr. Cox, in answer to Commissioner Kaywood's questior-, stated that the prapoEed
siyning was the standard Arco aign measuring 46 square feet, ancl althouqh wal.ver
of tt-e maximuin area of a free-standiny sign was being raquesttd, i£ one measured
the actual sign dimensione, Chere would be only 154 feet, bu~ becauae there was
open space between the sign capy, Che s:lze was consi3ered to k+e considerably
more.
Commissioner Kaywood inquired whether Arr,o made smal.ler signs than ~~ss baing
proposed; whereupon Mr. Cax s`.ated that the aompany did have amaller ~igna but
thQy could not hava them in Anaheim.
Chairman Seymour inquir.z~l whether a monument si.gn cou].d be p~aced ~n the carnerj
whareupo;. t:z. Ccx no*e~ ~_hA± tt,a si.te was wronq £or that typ~ of sign, and frcn
the st•andpoint of k,lockiri~ ~he view of oncoming cars, a monu:,~ent siqn waa n~t
desi.:able, and ne cou:d not eee how they could be appra~:edt that the proposeci
sigi~ had been approved ry the plan cYieck engineer, but the cannpy eiqns had been
forgotter~, therefore, the need for a vaziance; that they required the canopy
signs because they illuminated the service :~tation; and that they were eliminat-
ing smaJ.l2x• ser.vice stat:lons and pxoviding larger service stations with better
signing.
CAmmi~sioner Se~~mour offered a motion, seconded by Commiasioner Ka,ywood and
MO~TON CARRZED, that the Planning ComR~ission, in connection with an exemption
declaration status request, finda and determines that the proposal would have
no signi~ican•t er.vironmental impact. and, trerefore, recommends to the City
Council i:ha*. r~o Envizonmental Impact Statement is necessary.

M.r. Roberts rsdvised the Commission 'chat the City did not. obtain bed tax from

Cn~rmissionor RowLa:~d, as a~ architecL•, wao famil.lar with the ~ype of construction
wheze bi-level homes were propoead for these 2ote, hut th~y were getting a number
of :.equests ~rom poople who did not want. a big '_ot. but want•ec~ a ni.ce patio and
detached home and d1d not want large rea.r lota~ and that Lot Nos. 34~ 35, and 36
were very wicle Z6tE to allow for sid~-yard living, end one of the three lots
also had adequate anACe for rerir-yard living.
Commission~r Rowland notad that half oE the ~rnject had site deveJ.opment ~tand-
arda akin to F--EI~10,000 zoned lota, and it might be significant t~ not~ that
whero t.here were 11 feet between structurer~, these were garage-to~garaye, and
the distance would be more than that for the house which would be offset; and
thaL- if one measuzed the house-to-houae, those 11 lotr~ would be part of another
percentile.
Mr. Rudgers noted tbat L-hase homes that wese closeflt to each other And the loca-
tion of th~ garages, upon looki.ng at a floor plan the living area-to ].iv'ng area
would be cunsi~erably grea.ter than 11 feet.
C~mmissioner Farano ~baervv_d that Commiasioner Herbst had menL-ioned that r~ome--
thing might bp di~tresaing, such as happnned in ciie Fu2idr~ca :112~ whe:'e geopl~
atarted building fences d~wi~ the slopes, and ine would hope that at least therF
wuuld be a pleasa:~l- view f±-om the go~f courae instead of fenci:~g down the alo~es.
Mr. Rodger5 noted they plaiined lnndscaping and a aprinkler system wl-~ich aovld be
part of the CC&Ft's.
Commissioner Farano noted that. the CC&R's did not make lilin want to stand ~xp and
cheer - haw cou~d one qet tne CC&R's enforced since +:here wou]d be no homeownarr~
asaociation.
Mr. Barisi~ noted that any fencing constructi~a~ would have t~ meet the~.r atand•-
ard which were quite er.t~nsive, and they would enforce thie tenr.iny; and that
al.though Ana~+eim I~ills would not be there fifty year.s, they wou:Ld be thera at
leas~ ten ta twelve years.
Commissioner Farano ~hen inquired whethor the developer was willing to place
~gatricti~ns on the proparty tn prohibit fencing on the slopest whereupon Mr.
Rodgera stAted he woulc~ be willing to do this since that would b~e f~r tha over-
all continuity of thc prop~rty.
Con~miasioner Allred noted that thia had happened in thd N~hl Rnnch area, and
after ebout eight yeara, rasic3enLq wanted a doq and then they would er~ct a
chainlink fence ^ thia had happened to quite a number of lots there.
Mr, Rodgera noted that in the CC&R's khey would m~,ke a statement whlch would
be racnrded that the ~hadc~d arens on the exhibi.t, which were tho alopee on

ter.rible, but: there was also a di rt polltttion becauye~ ~f the refurbi.shinq of

Commissia;~er Rowland inquired of the ~~ppos.ition whett,er he could offer an~~

pruvidi.ng adequate parlcing in accordance with Code an~' not in a garage, he wculd
no~ be opposed to it, and then presented pictures ic~dicating ~he caanr~er in which

Mr. Browne, iri ~ebuttai. noted he hud ourchased the ~roperty last summer, and
at the time the Yrope•rty w~y gurchased he was in th~ ~~roce~as of mo~ring from
his Via Burton Street faciZity whore he r~paired icrstruments; that he had been
told that if he owned the pr~perty, he would be allowed to do ~~rhtatevar he
plea~ed with the p=o~ertyj that the 7.onir.g Lnforcement Officer advised 'ni~n to
the contrary, thei..=ore, he had been storing instruments ~n the rear of th~
property; that they were no iongez' buffing the inst.ruments in thca gaz•age: that
the odd structure located on tl~e pro!~erty was a bvoth which wAS blown do~an into
the alley; that they had not been conducting commercial actxvit.ie~ on the
property; that when he purchased the property he thought all he had te do was
make the i.mprovement.s to obtain the zoniny but found tri.s to be ir~ err.or; that
the Zaning Enforcement Of£icer made a continaous check to be assur.ed that no

Mr. Browne further noted that Mr. Raymond or qther neighbo~~s had not complained
to him regarding damage to their fences, and most o; the peep].e in the ar.e~ kne~~
lie was very cooi~erati.v~ and had done whatever sche -~eiqhbors had suqgQStedi that
when he had planned to purchase aubject property, .~e had investigated Y.o deter-
mine that the Genezal Plan indicated commercial uses for the property and whic;Y~
indicated C-I zoning fos the property, and the size and the shape of tho property
was such that he could establish hia business on f.tJ that after acquiring l•he
