Subject petitions were continued from the meeting of June 24, 1974 pendi.ng City Council
coneidpration of the RM-•3600 Ordinanc.e.
Ttao perdons indicated their presence in opposition Co aub~ecl• netitiona and, upon lnqui.ry
by Temporary Chairman Gauer., the opponenrs waived the full reading of tt~e Staff Report.
Altliough ttie Staff Report to the Planning Commissiun dated July 8, 1974 wae not read at
the puUlic hearing, it is referred to and made a part of Che minutes.
Mr. Peter Ochs, repreaenting the petitioner, appeared before the Commiasion and reviewed
the past hietory of Lhe proposal for development uf the sub~~ct properCy dating bnck to
November 1973. He stated that at the meeting af June 24, 1974, the Planning Commission
had indicated they would like to withhold ac:t.ton on Che subject petitions until the City
Council took an action regarding the new condominium (RM-3600) ordinance of the City; that
he would ].ike to put the proposul in the perbpective of ite historical backgraund rsnd not
in the perspective of the new RM-4000 Ordinanc~ that was adopted; that he was pleased tc
s~y that the proposal n~et mosC of the requirements of ti~e RM-4Q00 'Lone~ except for three
or four areas tt~at were minor and alttiough they did c~~~t meet the exnc.t letter o; the
ordinance they would meet the spirit. Regarding density, Mr, Ocha st.ated that originally
they proposed 12 dwelling unita per net acre on the subject property und the City Councl~
in their review suggested lowering the density nexC to the exisCing aingle-family tract to
the weat, aad that based upon [hat suggestion and the standards of the City, the developer
was prop~sing 26 RS-S000 lots and e condominium plan over the balance of the p~opesty;
ti~at since the property had been trear_ed ss a whole prior to this time~ it ahould be
treated as such at Chie time; that the RM-400Q Ordjnance permitted approximately 10.9
dwelling units per net acre~ and l~oki.ng at the condominium portion af the proposal the
density exceeded that to 11.9 dwelling units per net acre, h~~wevPr, by looking at the
entire project and i.r~corporating the condowinium portior, with the plans for the aingle-
family portion, the density would be 10.4, or lower than RM-4000 density; that they we*e
providing for the t:ansitioning of I:he project from the existing single-family tract with
the higher denait• portion being placed to Y.he easterly edge away from the existing tract;
that the proposa?. was baeically in conformance with the newly-adopted RM-4000 Ordinance;
that the pro~ect was well-conceived prior to the adoptior~ of the new standarda; that they
h..d been processing the proposed p*'o;ject with the City for almoat a year and had moditied
the pLan on sev~~rul. occa~iona at c• ~giderahle expense to the devPloper, with the most
recent changes being made at the request of the City Council; and that Chey had pur~~l~~• l
the property and proceeded in good faiCh.

btra. Jnnlc~ Jones, 1914 Elder Clen Circle, Anaheim~ appeared before the Com,~~idelon a~id
etated her obJecti.ona to the prapusal were that the dPvel.uper wea presently constru~:ting

thaC lota-coat houeirtg wc~e not compatib.le witti the exiAting housing Ln the area nor wao it
Ln Che c~ame price range.
It was not~d th~t lettere af oppoeition hAd been rec~ived from Mre. We~de Beose, C. Jone~/
Janice Jones. Julie Vurn, and Mrs. Michriel Adamec, ull t'eaidente of the suUject are+~.
THG PUBL'IC H1:A1tINC WAS CLOSED.
Conuntseioner Morley nuted for the petiti.oner thaC, in h•Ls opinion, tt~e Ci.L•y Couucil and
Planning (:ommiesion wouYd like the deneity to meet the requirements o£ the new RM-4000
Ordinance, but not by including the sing:e-family port:ion in the combined total.
I.n response to queskioning by Commidai.oner King, Mc~ Ocha etated that the denaity of the
condominium portion of the pro~ect was 11.95 dwelli.ng unitr~ per ..et acre.
Commiseioner Johnaon took e~cception to tt~e lr.lter au~+m{tted hy Mra. Janic~_.lonee in which
it was ~stzted thst "..not c~ne Comwissianer took time to inform himsel.f by reading th~:
min~ites (of the City•Council) prior to the meeting even though correct page numbere were
given..." He stated Chie was preaumpCion on Mrs. Jones' p~rt but he could aseure her that
the Pl.anning Commissionere had read r.he minutea referred to.
Commissioner Johnson entered into di~cuseion with Mra. Jonec~ regarding the number of liomes
tt~at would be facing Cresthill Drive, and the traffic aituation, and Commiseioner Johnaon
noted that the traffic wauld be difficult but neverthPless the City Traffic Engineer l~ad
indicated that the ~CrPet would have to go through for ssfety reasons, fire, etc.
Commissioner .Iohnson further noted that he would be in favor of tY~e propoen~. if the four-
plex units were ic~ conformance wiCh the RM-400~ Ordinance, with approximately 10.9 dwell-
ing units per net acre instead of 11.95; that, ici hia opinion, the developer wae giv.tng
the purchasers a good buy for their money; that Anaheim was probably obligated to furnish
some houses below tl~e $30,000 und $50,000 price range and, otherwise, the federal govern-
ment c~ay do it for the Ci.ty and the people i.n the areas concerned would not be granted the
public hearings that were granted by the City; however, he would vol-e negatively on Che
proposal unleas the densiry c~nformed to the new RM-4000 Ordinance.
In rebuttal, Mr. Ochs st:~ted the 1>roposed units were award-winning units; that the Orchard
tract sold in the high $''0,000 and low $30,OU0 price range at 7X interest, and thoae
people could barely aff<~ d to purch~,;e at that time; that the poaition of his company wae
that they had been thro~, ~ several public hearinga before the Planning Commission and City
Council and at each hearinp direction had been given and the developer Liad ~ttempted to
camply; that while it might mean a negative votea he thoughC it ~aas important Co So on to
the City Council to get their current thinking in regards to the development of the prop-
erty at this time; and thaC r.he developer could not afford addittonal processing time
since tiiey were spenciing a tremendou~ amo~ :t of money for taxes and intereat.
In respon~e to queationing by Commiesioner King, Mr. Ochs atated 9 dup].exes were propoaed
aad that none of Chose units were ad3acent to anything other thnn the fourplexes.
Temporary Chai.rman Gauer noted that, in his opinion, the project was wel.l planned, how-
ever, it did not meet the RM-4000 requirements.

Mr. Derrick White, 4242 Campus DrJ.ve, Newport Beach, represen[ing the pro~ect engineer,

It wae noted that four latCere of oppoaition h$d been read at Che June 24, 1974 m~eting,

Bryan lndueCri~t1 Properttea, Inc. und E:poxylite. The Planning Co~mniaeion SecreCar,v then
read an ndditi.onal letter of oppoei.~ion dated .Tuly 2, 1974 submitted by Donald W. Shaw
Conetruction.
Mr. P.ay Ost~ reprase~iting Avionic3 Structures, appeared before tha Co~nlsaion and sCated
thep were~ dafinitely opposed to the aub~ec:t proposal; Chat no totatter what the patitio-ier
did~ the,y would have leakage into th~ Area of the tuxic mnkerlal; tliut there were nice
manufacturing biieinesaes in the area which had co~~~ in with good fuith ~r.d hACi confnrmed;
that Avionic Structurea fiad p8dding under i:l~eir mnchinea fpr noiae; and that l•hey would
enliat the CommisaLon's consideration l•o not granC Che sub,jecl• petit~on.
Mr. Carl. Clor, S47 Conunonwealth, Fullerton, appeared Uefore the Commisaion a~nd etated he
wae representing ttie property owner ef. the 7 acres acrosa the atreet from the aub~ect
property and they ~e ln Che process o€ development plane with a p~rtion alr.ealy betng
ready for submiasion to the Citv; that he wa~ expreaeing cancern that the sub~ect proposal
might be detrimental to hio proposal; that the 7 acres now had storage of conetr.uctian
equipment of various t~ypes; thaC it was possible they would he in the development stages
within the next few montha; and if the sub~ect proposal ware granted, evary precaution
should be taken to control the detrimental elementa. Regard•ing tarking~ Mr. Clur queR-
tione~ wliether the petitioner would have enough parking epaces when che equipment wa8 on
the aite, and Asaistanr. Zoning Supervisor Annika SantalahCi advised tl~at the petitioner
was proposing suf£icierit parking for an indur-trial uae.
In rebuttal, Mr. Bible atated the oppoaition had not given an arguu:enr. regarding the
conetruction of the prop~~sed machinery and facilitiea; that the proposed facility could
not operate without ttie approval of the AF~D; that the property was aold for warehouaing
which would Ue more detrimental than the aub~ect proposal; Chat they were proposing 32
parkin~ spaces which was more than adequate; that 90y of the loading and unJ.oading wo~ild
be done inaide the buildin~ and there was more space on the inaidr. of the building thnn he
would hav2 need for to process the product.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Temporary Chairman Gauer noted thal• some of the Planning Comc~issioners had viewed two
facilitiea loca;.ed in oCher. citlPS.
Commiasioner King noted that,•in his opinion, the praposal was For t,he wrong area and
suggested that the petitioner check the heavy industr.ial areas or to contact the Chamber
of Commerce for arpropriate locations.
Mr. Bible stated his competitors were locatec' ;i the hub of the induetry and that wae also
his deaire; thaC every precauCion should be c:.~cen to make sur.e that the operation would be
clean; that he had taken fl look at Che two facilities which the Planning Commiasion viewed
and neither af them would compare to hi.s, although one of tl:am wae very cleart.
Commiasioner King then noted Chat he and Comm~tiesioner Johnson t~ad viewed the facility in
Long Beach; th~t hQ was not worried about the duaC but moresa that Che project would not
blend wiCh the area visually aince the ailos were to be 42 feet in height.
Mr. Bible atated that the appearance of the ailos was a matter o£ opinion; that he prefer-
red their appearance t that of a stack of palleta or cea-ent blocke; and that the silos
would b~end with the building since they were 30 feet behind the prvperty line o~ the two
ad~oiiiinR buildinga.

'PHE YUBT,IC HEltRING WAS Ct,USED.
In re~poi~se to quQOtioniz~~ by Temporary Chairmsn Gauer., Mr. Gercla atated that although
the application was I'or the It-1 lota, thNy wer~ raqueatir~g tu develop under RS-5000
atandardA; and thaC the developcr had aseumed thie would be the wny l•o procaed on tha
application.
Commiseionar Morley noted tha[ it was hia undera~unding that lf the pro~ect wu~ developed
under RS-S000 etandards~ then wniver•a of the minimum lot width on a cul.-de-eac. minimum
lot width and minimum l.ot• rea woi:ld not be reyuired. Co~isaionar M~rley then quoeti~ned
th~~ procedure far cliangir-g zoning once a petition had been advertised for publi.c hearing,
~n3 ?.oning Su~ervisor Charles Robarta advised that there wae a res~lution of intur.t to R-2
:.~~ning on the sul,ject prop~:rty and ic would be at the discretion of the Plbnning Cc.i~-iooiou
~.. City Council to establish a leea intenae zone, however, under the RS-5000 eite develop-
m~.~it standarde waiver. of Che requirement that single-family reaidenti.al sCructurea r~ar on
an s~rterial hi.ghway would still be needed.
Mr. Garcia asoured the Planning ~.~mmieaion that the project could be developed auccess-
fully under the RS-SOUO zoning.
CommiesionPr Johnaon noted thaC it appeared approximately 7UX of the propot~ed loCe were 50
to 6A feet wide and il waa his understandinq from rti~ presant Citv Council ar~d the people
of Anaheiw that those lots would be a li.L•tle too narrow.
Mr. Garcia then explained their .~rf~it~al irtent ~aas to develop townhou3eR on the sub~sct
propert~ '~ut tney l~ad changed their p].ans end wanted Co develop g high-prJ.ced, R-1 projecc
inate~d and there wna no request for variance from the set.back requiremenc. lie furttier
stated that most c` tl~e 6 Co 1Q-foot aetbacke would have garagea wiCh autamatic door

Mr. Roberts advised for the pptitiuner Lhat the City Council was vigorousl}~ tryir.g t
elimit~ate ttie 6 to 10-foot aetback~.
In respoc~ae to questfoning by Temporary Chai:~man Gauer, Mr. Garcia etated there were
approxim~:tely 15 of the 5 tu 6-foot setbacks propo;~ed.
Temporary Chairman Cguer then <<oted that development with :-50~0 rather than the R-2
wauld satis`y the philosophy regarding lo.-er 3enslty, however, he did not feel the 5 to
10-•f.oot setbucka would be appro~ed by t'~e City Council.
Mr. J'ohn Millick, Vice President of An~.httm F.ills, Inr.., :tppeared befor~ the Commission
and discusaed hte ii.terpretati.vn af ~he City Council's ldeas regarding the setbacks and
the r~aultant un~lulated streetscap~. He st+~ted thar thP eub~act propoeal k~AS uning the

Temporary ~"ha'.r+nan C..uer nuted that he had opposed R5-500~ zoning when it waa first
initiated, however, aeveral projects ~..~d been approved and the sub~ect proposal, in his
npi.nfon~ was a good RS• .OQO de°lelopment. He further noted that the pr~~posal woulc~ nor. be

Although the Staff Report to the Plunning Commission dnted July 8, 1974 was not read at
the meeti.ng, i.t is referred to nnd mn<le a paxt af the minutes.
IC was noted that on June 24, 1974, the Planning Commisaion coneidered ~r ianc~~ '4u. ?.610
along wi~h the sub~ect tentari.ve tract maps; that the pruposal at thn tlmc wn:~ to ~ievelop
R-.l aubdiviolona with some lote ~iaving areas and widths lees than Cht~i. required by the R-1
Zone site devn?orment stundarda; that the Commisefon approved tl~e vartance, in part,
denying the i.:~{ucyi ~d waiver of Che required 70-foot lot wic~th ainc<, khe ~~•aiver applied to
Approx•lmakely 40% of the lots in both trn~ta; and that based on this denisl, the Commisaion
also denied both tentative trac~ maps.
Mr. John Mil].ick, Vice Pr~sident of Anaheim Hills, Inc.~ nppeared bafore the Commiesion
and reviewed the history .~f the zoning on the sub~ecr property, th~~ d~.-eitiea in the
Anaheim Hills area nnd how iC relatpd to the new ~Lty Council. He dLscussed thr ~~re-
viously propu sed project coneisting of 11E units on the sub,~~ct proper*v ancl ~:ur.^~uded by
atating that altliou~h the presently pr~~Fos~d lot•s wax'e not 70 feeC wide, the ra:.ultant
density for the develapment was reslly very lok.
Mr. .James Rogers, Presldei.*. of Weatfield De~~lopment Company, 178!12 Sky Park Circle,
Irvine, appeared befors t~ie Commisaion as the developer of. the sub~ect property and staCed
tt~.ey were now requesting RS-5400 zoning and the aubinitted ~ract mapa conformed with a11 of
the si e develapment atandards of the RS-5000 Zone, except for the proposed ''side-on" lots
and a waiver was granted under. Variance No. 2610 to permit khe four lota eiding on Canyon
Rim Road.
The Planning Commiasion discussed the fact Chat ~~~en the P'lnned Community Zone was granted
for Anaheim Hi.lls, the sub,ject property was appru~ed for c1~ velopmenC of r~ maximum of 200
dwelling units u~.•;er the It-2 Zone, and thia devel~~per was now proposing a lesa inte~n~e,
inclusive, residectial development uncler the RS-5(100 Zone dev~lopment st.andazds,
It was no~ed that on June 24, 1974, the P lanning Comraiss`.on recommended that the City
Co~inail certify Em~ironnental Impact Report No. 129 c:hir_h was submitted in con~unction
with tlits applicstian.
Comuiisaioner King o£fered a aiotlon* seconded by Commias'toner Morley to a~prove 'leneative
Map of Tract No. 8455 (R~vision 4) sub~e~ t to the InterdE~~-rtmental Committee recommendaeions.
Zoning Supe. isnr Charles RoberCR auggeated thst if the P;anning C~~mmission was recommecid-
ing approval of the propoaed RS-5000 tentative tract maps, since t'~.ere was already a
resolution of lntent for R-2 zoning, it would be •>propriate for the Commisaion to include
a L-inding recomm~lding to the City Cauneil that an ardinance be read for R~-5000 zoning
inetead of R-2 zu:.ing on the sub~ect property.
Commiseioner King restatecl his motion, which was aeconded by Commisaioner Morley and
n ~~
MOTION Ce.KRIED (Commiseioner Johnaon vn~ing no and Commiss•lanere Farano and Herbat being

Although the Stuf' Kepurt to Che Planning Commieaion dated July 8, L974 was noC reacl at
the p~iblic hear'-~~?, it ia referred Co snd made a part ot the minutea.
Mr. Kenneth Olson, the agent for ~he property owner, appeared before the Cammission and
etate.d that he had operated the aubject businesa in t'he City of Anaheim for thc past
tweive years, seven of those years at the subiect location, and there hnd never been any
repercusaions in the area cuncerning the bueinesa; that the buainesa dealt with large
groups auch as Northrop, Nurth American, Union Oil, etc., and aa a consequen~e there was
not c~uch traffic or activlty generated; thak they did not cater t~ the general. public but
to th~~ busl.ness commuaity, and probabl~~ one person pen c~ar. would come into the sl-udio
during an average eight-hour dxy; ~~-~~1 that, in his opinion, the area on Harbor Boulevard
was developing with commercial buslne~ses.
THE HEARING FiAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Mcrley questioned Che number of parkl~~n, spacea proposed and Mr. Ols~n etated
the parking wauld i,e eatisfactory for his type of operr~ti.on; that instead vf twenty p.~trons
with amaller items, there wou.id pro'~cibly be three or four witn larger itenis anci tt great
deal of parking was not necessary.
Commiasionpr Morley noCe~' that if the type of busine~s changed in the future, the parking
situs~ti.,n mignt not be adequate and therefore create s problem for the City.
In response to questioning by Commissioner Morley regarding the requested wall hei.ght, Mr.
Olson indi.cated the wall was proposed to be higher than the Code allowed ~o that the
chi.ldren in tl-e area would not climb on it.
C~wmi.ssion~r Morley then tioted that when ehe ad~oir.iu~ properties developed, the wall
heighr would be satl.sfactory, and that the t~roposal was to conatruct a r.ew f.acade for the
e~.isting building.
It was noted that tlie Di.tector of r~evelopment Services had determined that the prupoaed
s~ctivi~y fPll within the definiti;n uf Section 3.0?, Class 3 of the City of 4nahPim r;uide-
lines to the Requirements for ai- Environmentnl Impact Report and was, theref~re, categori-
cally exempt f:om the requirement to file an EIR.
Commissioner 'riurley offered Resolution No. PC74-140 and moved fur its passage and adoption
to gra~t Petition for Varianc~ No, 2615~ granting waiver ~~f the permittea uses in the C-0

Mr. Gilber~ Gar.^is, the agent `or the ~,roperty owner, appeared before the Commiseion and
yta~~~i the ~ubject prnperr_;~ was on khe cornpr of Harbor P,ou7.evnrd and Santa Ana S'_reet;
Chat, in hiP opinion~ the ~ubject area was develaping co~mercial; tha+: the Staff Repart to
the P1~nninK Commisaion was self-explanatory and r.o•~::red Ct~c proposal adequately; and that
he was a~otl~ble to answer quesCions regarding aai.l propossl.
THI ''IiLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commiaei~ner Morley questioned why the peCiti.or.er wanted to go to Cne expense of remodel-
ing the residential. s[r.uctur.e and then tearing it down and rebuilding i.n the future, and
i•!r. i.arcla atated the Orange Savings and Loan wanted to be in the ~~r~a as aoon ts posai~le,
and rtie priority waa opening the uffice SI1CI manning it; and tt~at once there was b temporary
faci.licy~ they could plan ca:efully far u perr.ianent facility.
In responae to questi.oning bq the Planning Comaission, Mr. Garcia slipulated that the
temporary raci3.itiea would be used £or eight~en months, at the end of which time Chey
~vould be demoliahed; that regarding the use of a trai.ler situation, they felt their pr~-
posal was leas expensive and more expedient; thaC when the temporary structiire wab removed,
khat area would Uecome parking space; that one of the reasons for the wai.vers was Lhat
they were working w~th an existing stz•ucture und it was unlikely that they c~uld fin.i a
facility that would mest all of Che requix•ements for a comme~rcial use.
Mr. Tuny Padilla, 537 South Harbor Boulevard, appeared b~fore t~~e Commission and inqui~ed
regarding the type wall proposed to be constructed betw~en the ~ubject property and Mra.
Barbara Fitzpatrick's properry at 515 Harbor Boulevard. He stated _cs. Fir_zpatrick l~ad a
dog and woul% need a fence.
In r.eply, Mr. Garcia stated a 6-foot ~~';h wall was proposed, as ahown on [he plans.
Mra. Barbara Fitzpatrick appeared ~~ore the Commiasion and ataCed her property, wh_,.h
fronted on Harbor Boulevard, was so an L-shuped parcel and ~~~~nt behind the subject
pr.operty; that hpr property would no;- be t~Lg enough to be develoned commercial and it wa~
hard to s~ll an L-shaped ;~iecP of property `.or comme~~ial uae.
Assistant Zoi~ing Supervisor Ann:.ka Ssntxt<3hti noted for Mrs. Fitzpatrick that an alley had
been consi~ered in an area develo~:ment plan along the property wh~cn wae subject ta the
commercial properties deveJ.opiiig it; and that one uf the condtCi~no of apprav-1 as sPt
fortli in the Staff Report for the aub~ect petition was Chat the alley he improved; and
that said s:.ley aould go around Mra. FitLpatxick's property.
Ca~issionQr King noted that there could be problems wit~i the accaes to Harbor Boule.ard
ar.d that the sub~ect prorGrty had iiigress ~nd egre3s fram Sauta Ana Street, ~+ ~i Mr. Garcia
stated they had considered the access with the Ciiy Traff ^' ngineer wtio inlic~.ted with
