agrued that there waP no pcuctical way to handle Ct~e eventual.ity ouCline~l by Co~iepionar

more or leee. tt~aC if the epocinl avents were only occneionc~lly~ the hours for the pro-
pooed uee could be adjueted.
in reapon~e ko queationing by Ceanniaeloner Tolar, Mr. Camecon rei.ternted that the hours of
operarion for the driving course would be from 11000 a,m. to 1.1:00 p.m. on Fridgye~
SaCUr.days, and Sundeye, and from 11:00 a.m. to ~:00 or 10:00 p.m. duriiig tlie week.
Mr. Cctmeron eCipulated that pursuant to tha nolarior.:lr. khe S~aff Report:, they wuuld hold
the City hurmlese fr~m the effecta of tha lighting at the Anaheim Stadi.um.
Mr. Tom Liegl~er~ Di.rector cf the Mah~im Stadium rsnd Convention Center, appeared before
the Commisainn and advised that thA proposal was in keeping wlth the efforCa to provide
[he arPa in and around the Stadiuu~ as a recreational focal point i.n the c~mmunity dince
the proposal fit in with a rec.reational-type anvironm~nt; ttaat the concerne had been ~he
llghting and noioe; that he did not know what th~ noiae factor ahould be i.n the neighbor-
haod or what dBA rating the Stadium could live with; and tiiat he was 1.n agreement wiXh the
proposnl Rnd the California Angels could see no ma~or, pzohlemR in conner.tion ther.ewith.
THE PUBLIC HEAItING WAS CLUSL~D.
Chairman Herbat questioned the reverberation of aound when more thaci one car was operating
on t.he track at one time, and Mr. Cameron etnted that the testi.ng of the sound was done
next to a buildiitg and he was assu.red that the noise levEl intensity would not change;
that the Leq averaging of the whole operation over r~ 24-hour period, including th~se hours
when there wHS no activiCy~ waa in the 60s for dBAs.
Chai.rman Herbst questioned whether the further use of mufflera could be accomplished in
the event the sound, which wae an unknown at this poinlannedato useuthettetandardMmuffler
Cameron stated that would be poaeib.le, however, they p
of a aedan and there was no reaeon Co mrike a certain amount of noise.
Chairman Herbst than noted that since the meeGinge ar gatherings ut the Stadium could be
for lengtr~y periods of time and there would be eo~-e difficulty in making stipulati.ons to
take cace of the eituation, he woul.d like some sorC nf maximum dBA rating establ.ished for
ttee use. He further noted that with 60 dBAs at the property line hP would feel fairly
certata that the use would noC interf.ere with the uae of the Sradium.
Mr. ^ameron then stated thzre was about one-quaxter mile betweec~ the aubject property and
the Stadiwn; and that he did not tect~nicr~lly underetand the information contained in [he
sound repcrt regarding Leq values.
Chairman Herbe~ nated for the petitioner that no condition wovld bQ imposed tor this
application that would not norm~lly ue impoaed for an induetry in this same area; and L•hal-
Uecauae of the moCor vehiclea }~eing a s~~parate category, a condition would have to be
contained in the conditional use peimit :o cover the sound.
~ir. Came.ron then stated the sound *e~ort indicated they would n~t make noiae that would
bother the nei~hbors and~ furthermore, that the Stadium had agreed that the u.ae would not
bother them.
Chairman Herbsl mude an observation that he did not believe the proposed uae would bother
a baseball, football, or other game in t:ie area, hoWever, this would not apply to the off-
aeason evente which at times required complete ailence; and that with th~ 60 dBe1 require-
menC, the City would not have t~ worry about cnnflicting noise.
Mr. Cameron etated thaC Mr. LieglQr had indicated 2n case ~f con£licting noiae. he would
like to be gble to say somethin~ about it.

Commiseionc+r Farano noted Chat full.owing a reviesw ~f thc plans~ he woul.d ~ropose an~~
roqueat tt-at dense landecaping along Che property 11ne aburting the reilroad bc pru.lded;
thnt with etepping up o£ the powar plant~ thQ use would probably preeenC :- prnbJ~em; l•hat
he would suggeor that a line of demarcatiun be drawn and a etipulation madH Chat the erund
would not exc.cecl 60 d13A outeida tho fence line tci the souC.h, giving Chc petltionar tho
bene£iL of the ].andecaping at the property l~.ne; that tfiE use ux propoaed would probably
not preaent c. problem~ however~ it' at aome future date it wea chengad there might be a
sarioua ~~rublem.
Deputy City Attorney Frtink l.owry advised thqt eince automobilen were exempt in t}~e ordinance.
Che Planning Commiael.on could muke n determination oa to the uppropriatc dBA level aC any
point of demarcuCion.
Commiseianer Cuucr noted that he woutd rather aee the llne of demarcation drawn on the
other nide of tt~e r~ilroad Crc-ck from the aub~e~t propeY~ty.
In reeponse to questioning by Commiesionc~r King, Mr, Cameron atated 15-gallon evergreen
treea were proposed to be planted on 20-f.uot m~an centere along ttie south property line;
and that tl~e enginea of the care would be Rimilar to a Mazda, and not gao and oil.
Commiseloner King furtliar inquired if the plan was to have right-hand turna only for
leaving the sub~ect prcperty to enCer the buAy L•raf.fic on K~te1La Avenue, and Mr. Camnron
indi.cnted that was a good point.
Commieaioner Farano it;yuired if Che sound angineer for the petitioner had un opinion
whather that porri.on of the Stadium which was open and faced directly into the aub~ect
property would liave a funneling effect of, the nuise from the proposed use, and Mr. Cameron
ytated only lhat the railroad embankment would pr~vidP an additional reduction of about
one-half of the dBAs and that the effect would be no different than funnel~ng of aound
from Katella Avenue.
In response to questioning by Commiasioner Farano, Mr. Liegler adviaed that the atxeet
noiae had not created a noise problem t~ dat'e.
Commiasioner King offered s motion, se~onded by Commisaioner Johnson and PtOTION CAP.RTED,
that the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that the aubject pro;Ject be
exempt from the requirement to prepare an Environmental Impact Report pursuant to the
proviaions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
Coc~nisaioner King off.ered Reaolution No. PC74-154 and moved for ita passage and adopt~ion
to grant Petition for Conditional Use Yermit No. 1482, subject to the Cit}~ being tield
harmleas Erom the effects of the lighting at Ch~a Anaheim Stadium, as long as the lighting
ia controlled iii the basic manner it is preaently controlled, ae stipulated r.o by the
petiCioner; that the landscaping along the ao~th properCy line shall be dense to prcvide
additior.al sound attenuaCion; that the noise lev~l on the aouth eide of Che railroad

dBAs for the proposed use; that all lighting for ~he proposed development shall be directed

Alrhough the Staf£ Report to the Plnnning Commisaion dated Augt~et 5~ 197G wae not r.csad at
the public haaring. it ie referred tc and made a part of Cha minutee.
Mr. Dick Demer,~i.an, 4550 Ea.st Olympir. Boulev~rd, Loa Angeles, represanting the agent for
the petltioner~ appeared before tha Comiaisaion and apoLogizer] for the previoue poatpone-
menks of the aubJect petition, end etnted he was not particularl.y prepared to uaake a
presenCatlon~ however, l~e could pr~bably anewer any queationa regarding the propoeal. H~
ata~ed the proposed s:tRna were essantic~lly ent1ance and exit signs to direcC traffic
safely to the different parte of the large co:aplex and ellminRte confusi.::n; that the
dlaplsy would be very bmall. and the heighC vir~ible to the tra£fic; and that the eigns
would be ill~.~m.tn~te~l but would not flaeh,
THE PUBLIC HEARTNG WAS CLO5ED.
Commi.asioner Morley noted for the petitianer that direction~l. aigna were permitted without
a variance~ nnd Mr. Demerjiat, etated that the permftted sire was xoo reatrictive Eor th~
lettering they proposed and thak he was not familiar wtth the waivers requested.
Comr~issioner Morley then reviewed th~ requested waivere and statad if only one additiona_
free-sland-ing aign was permitted~ Walvers b and c would be eliminated.
Chairman k[erbst n4ted zhat Che amount of lettering provosed ta be placed on the sign5 was
pr.rt of the problem; that no loao or name wAS al.low~d aince the eigna were directional;
that he would question the hardship to go beyond khe intent af the ordinance. 'Ihereupon,
Chairman Herbat explained the basie for a hardahip.
Kr. Demer~ian stated he believed the amount of lettering on t}:a aigna made it neceasaxy to
have a larger s~gn and the message would not fit on a smaller one.
Commiss~Loner Morley made an obaervation that by dropping the words "Open Road" from the
signs, tt-ere would be r.oom on the aigna for lettering that was legal.
It was noted that tl-e Dire~tor of Development Servic~~a had determined that the praposed
activity fe12. withii~ Che definition of Section 3.01, C1ass 11 of the C1ty of Anaheim
Guidelinea to the ReauiremenC3 for an Fnvironmental Impact Report and was, therefore,
categorically exempt irom the requirement to file an EIR.
Commisaioner Morley offered Resolution No, PC74-1S5 and moved for ita passage and adoption
to grant Petition for Variance No. 2614, granting waiver of the minimum diatance between
eigns for one addiCional free-standing ~ign, ~aid sign proposed to be located near the
southweat corner of subject property and 290 feet from an exiating free-standing sign on
the aub~ect property, and eaid waiver being granted un the basis of the narrownesa of
suhject property; that waivers of the permitted lacation of a aign and maxtmum number of

In response to queetioning by' Commiseionec .Johneon, Chairman Harbst noted that the e~verag-
ing would be verified by Staff And if a developer did not tneet the required satback
average~ a var.iance application would beco~c~ ne~:eeeary.
Commiesionec Guuer noted thak elnce Che 6 to 10-foot detbacks wers unsucc~saful, it was
doubtful Chet the nveYaging would be.
Commiseioner Dtorley agreed Chat Che avaraging Hhould be uaed, and that this ehould be done
by percentagea; and that he nls~ agreed concerning the thr.se-car garages Co be required
where 6 to 10-foot setbacka were pe.ra-itted in order to provide Lhe udaquate number oi oti-
site parking spaces.
CammJ.eaioner Farano n~ted that the 25-foot eptback was not given ~ fair chance or trial
*.hat it ehould have had; that one of the firet develop~,aent~ under that ordinance was that
tY~e developera inCerpreted the 'l5-foat setLack Co be an average or a certain percrntage of
the ].ota; that the proposed or.dir-ance would have its greateat application in the Hill and
Canyon Ares becauae of the aignificant ahortage of single-family residential property t'hat
was left in [he City; that, in his oplnion, Che propoeal ehould be let;. at 25 foot since
it wo+ild app].;~ basical~y to "f1nC land" eCandards and eince a review was forthcoming of
the Hill and Canyon zones.
Chairman lierbat then noted tt-at r_ertain areae in the Hill and Canyon Area would need to be
able to have S to l0~foot setbacks wi•thout applying for a variance.
Mr. Young reviewed the proposed amendment as it related to the various zones and noted for
the Commission that essentially the ordinance would auhstantially affect three zones,
being the R-1, R-0, and RS-SQ00, which were the emaller lota; and that the other zonea had
pru~risions for redur_fng be:~ow the 25-foot sert~ack.
Commisoioner Gauer noted that much time and work by the Staif and Planning Commiasion had
gone into the prepar.ation of the propoaed ordinance and it sh~uld be adopted~ as presented,
and tri~d.
In reaponse to questioning '~y ('hai:man Herbst~ Mr. Youn~ advised that under the propoaed
amendment, "fronC-on" garages would h~ve to be set back 1.5 feet unlese the Planning
Commiseion desired t~ leave in the pr~vision for 6 to 10-foot aetUacks where autowatic
garage door openera were provided.
Chairman Herbst tY~en noted that "side-one" would reduce the number of 6 to 10-foot set-
backs and these wauld be included in the ~verage whic:i he would suggesC bei.ng approxi-
mately 18 feat.

In rasponae to queationing by Commias ioner King, Mr. Snellitig atated that tha sales aepect
of thei.r operution was governed by th e State and under State e.utho~ity there was a dls-
tiuction berween wtiolesale snd retail sales depending upon when the salea taxes were paid
by the purchaser; that if ~~les Caxes were col~ected at the point of sale, that would be
diatinguiahed ae retail salet however, if the sellers did not callect Che eules taxes, they
were noC r.etal.ling per ae Ni.t~ - the gurchaser wouJ.d be paying the taxae at Che time of

businesa uf selling uaed cura per se; Chat they never t~olc t.rade-ins; that Chey would own
ehe automobiles from the time tr.ey were new until they were dispo~~ed of at the end of the

In reapon~e to queationing by :ommis sioner King, Mr. Snelling atalyd if a peryon came in to
buy a car, ther~ w~a a 50X chance t11aC he would rather lease tnan bu;; that aometimes cars
were reconaitioned following a lease period and released; that the agency would cater to Che
buain~sa in the subject area; that they would not have banners and flashing lights and they
fought to overcome the atlgma of a used car. l.ot; and r.hat their cars would be bqsically in
the vinL-age of one to two yeare old.
In response to queationing by Chgirman Herbat, Mr. Snelling sta~ed that they would have a

some of thei~r young employees and in vio lation of the City's policies as wall ae the policiea

Mr. Snelling conti.nued by etating that the 1Qasea would be the "oppn csnd" type lease whereby

Commissiuner Morley noted that it might be appropriate to base the Commission's decision
on the subject petitiona on the operations of the Hertz AAency and, thereupon, Commiesioner
Farano suggeated that the aubject mat.Cer be postponed to further on in the meeting in ordar
that the review could be accompllRhed.
Mr. Snelling aCated That the queetions being raised were what he lived in fear of since he
did not want unother Anaheim Boulevard at the sub~ect location, and he off ered to give e
hiatory of Lhe leaeing businesa tc~ enable the Commission to better understand why they

Mz. Hank Bogardus, ropresenCing tha agent for the property uwner~ appeared bei~. the Commie-
sion to anewer questiui~e regarding the pr.opoea.l.
THE PUBLIC IiEARING WAS CL,OSED.
In response to queeti.oning by ~ommiaeioner Gauer, Mr. Bogardue etatad thay were ae concerned
about their nnighbora as the Ylanni.ng Commiseion wae; t:hat they prapoeed to properly mai.ntai.n
the hatchery ainc~ they were in th~ Utieiness in a commsrcial capacity; tl~at thay operated a
;.ommercial hatchary in La Habra ae a teat facility and they had outgrown that £acility; and
Chat th~ previoua applica~~ione concerning quail raieing were not connected ~aith hie company
in any way.
In reoponse to yueationing by Chairman Herbet, Mr. Bogardua eCated he had discusaed the
watter of the diapoaition of the bird waete with the Sanitation Division and the mntter cauld
bp resolved with ~.o problems. Mr. Bogaxdus further aCated that they wou'.d be producing bi.rda
up to 7 and 8 ounc~~a eact- in aize; that they would be constructing thelr own c~geR, whict~
were about ~ne-f ~irtti the aiae of 1 chicken cage; that r.hey had used the USC-Davis technique
for canstructing Cheir breeding cagt~s; that the bird waste wnuld drop through the cages onto
craft paper that wo~ild be pulled through underneath the cages on rolls; that th~ peper c~r..-
taining the waete wou7.d be rolled and placed in plastic bags and then placed in dumpetera;
and that their plane in the fuCure would be to sell the fertilizer product of the birds eince
i.t would have commercial value.
In reply to questioning by Chairman Herbat, Deputy City Attorney Frank Lowry advised that if
the waste materi.al waa handled and bagged in the psrticular manner described by Mr. Bogardua
and carried straight to a dump, since it wae not ~ toxic material, there would be no problems;
however, if the bags should get tot'n, the Orange County Health Depar~ment would get involved
with regard to the flies.
Aasistant Zoni.ng Supervisor Annika Santalahti noted for the Commisaian that there was no
zone in which to allow the proposecl use, including the agricultural zone which did noC allow
bird raiaing or hatcheriea.
Mr. Lowry further udvised Lhat the getitl.oner would need to obtain approval and permit from
the Orange CounCy HPalth Department for the operation since that agency enforced all animal
contro]. in the City of Anaheim.
Commi.sison:r Farano inquired regarding the sir flow, temperature and humidity conditions,
and Mr. Bogardus atated the quail would live in about any environment placed in; that ex-
haust £ans would be used and the doors kept closed; that the odor a person F~ould ame].1 on
the premiaea wou:ld be the feed used and uot the animal; and that detergente used in cleaning
would deodorize +and eliminate any other odors.
Commis~ioner Farano questioned ehe release of air or the in~~ection of air through the
eMhauat to the e.tmosphere and how that would contribute to a fly problem, and Mr• 13ogardus
deacribed the c:leaning achedule whereby tk~e droppinge would not sit more than 24 hours from
one pick-up to the next, including Saturdays and Sundays; in other words on a daily baais,
and would be w•r.gpped in a contaixiPr and sealed; that :egarding £ly abatement, they would be
using a progrf~m thaC was not. aprayed~ but was a sugai'-based chemical that would be eprinkled
on the flaor to attracC and kill the flies. He furtlier atated that the flo4rs would be
mopped seven days a week and that the eanitary aepect9 of the operation would be under
the control of the Health Department.

Comwieoi.oner Farano t.hen questioned whether tha fACt that. the quail would be coneuwed had
anything Co do with whut they were fcd. and Mr. Do~ardus eCatsd feed mixea wera uoud that
contnin~d no t~ccelcsrutore; that the birde would 'aa JSDA certifiud; that the oggs would bo

healtt~ agqncios; and that thay wure going to a canCroll~d envi~ranment in order to maintain
a henlchy flock.
Mr. Bogurdus furkher etated that they had researched at the La Hnbre locati.on t~~ Ree i£
the pr~poe+~l woul.d wurk and chey were convinced tt~at it woul.d.
.u reaponeo to queytluning by Dtr. LoWry, Mr. Bogardus etlpulaCed thak there ~ruuld be no
co ~~ercial i>> ~~~:~asi~ig ot quail ~r quail producta on the premisss, i.ncluding eluughtexing o£
tht ~~u,~ll.
Chairman lierbst nored that one of the l~rgest tr.ailer. perka in Anuhnim wne lacated ad~acenC
to the sub~ect Nroperty across thF railrond tracts~ and he woul.d qu9stioii tha proceseing af
odors int~ Che nir on a 24-hour basis In the evenf. tlie houaekeeping wae nok kept up daily
for any roason~ and Mr. Bogardu~ exploined tha location of Che pr~poeed facility in relaCion
ahip to the location of the trailer park and ekatad the winds tti the area would predomin~ttely
b~.uw in the opposite direc.tion of the trAiler park; thaC the exhausC system was not to get
rld o£ abnoxious odord~ but to aseure Ctiat the birds would not die from cr~rbondioxide; nnd
tliat there wae nu need tu filter the sir since the quail was a cl~ac~-feathered bird.
In response to furtti~r queat•ioning by Chairman Herbet, Mr. Bogardue atated the La Habra
facility was ].ocated within one block of homes.
Commissinner Johnaon noted that he would like to see the sub,~ect petiCio~~ granted; that now
and then it was difEir.ult £or. the Commission to plug ati unusual application i~ o a type of
zon.e or area; that, however~ he £elt the use was queotionable since ther~ would be approxi-
mately 6U,OU0 hirds and, although he had been adviaed that the birda were not odorous, he
had checked the use in the fLeld and found they were odorous.
Mr. Bogardua then stated thnt uuder some conditiona the birds were od~rous, however, there
was no re~son for those conditions with the proper hygiene; and that ther.e would be no other
way to oper.ate in order to get the maximum utiLity out of the apace.
Commisaianer Farano noted that the line of demarcation was hun-an conduct and the abiYity to
perform in this case~ Pnd pexhaps tt~e uae would not produce the effects that Commisaioner
Johnson bnd he had experienced.
Mr. Bogardus assured ti-e Commiaeionthat he was as cuncerned as he hoped the Commisaion was
and that he was veYy aarious abaut his propoeal..
Commissioner Farano then questioned the presence of vermin and insects in connection with
the use, and Mr. Bogardua sta[ed the feed would be replaced every 30 days and that if iL• was
necessary they would obtain commercial rodent trapa for proper control. Commiasioiier Farano
noted that the vermin might be attracted to the other developments around the suU~ect property,
auch as the trai.ler park, because of the aub~ect uae; and Mr. Bogardus atated that was why
they would he keeping tbeir doore closed.
c;ommiasioner Gauer noted th:t ha believed in being a ltttle innovative eince he did not see
l~ow the petitioner aould afford to have anything but a well-run operation; that, in hie
opinion, within a year the applica rt woul.d either be doing a lot of buainesa or be out of
businesa; ti~at the Commisaion had been innovaCive in other mattera xnd there were certain
itema which ahould Ue experimented with, the sub~ect pro~usal being one of then.
Comffiisaioner Tolar noted~ in his opinioi-, that policy would dictate that the operation
would have to be kepe clean os the petitioner would "lose hie ahirt"; that the proposed
use was nut a bad one for tt~e area, howevet, it shuuld be p~rmitted and tried fur a ahort
period of time to determine its eLfecta.
Commissioner Farana noted that th~ only problem appeared to be that ~he proposal waa a high
ri.sk, aince its eucceas would be based on the pe~itioner's ability to perfo:m.
In reply to queationing by Commisaioner Tolar, Mr. BogarJ~ia stated he would be willing to
aperate for one year and then come back before the Planning Commisslon for review of thz uae.

Mr. Bill Silzle, representiiig the agent for the petitioner, appeared before the Commiasion
and atated that the sub~ect petitian had been ttie result o£ a zoning enforcement action; that
they were requesting permisaivn to construct a 10-foot high chainlink fene~ that would be
interwoven with aluminum slats primarily since, ta his know~ledg~, the cedar slate were a
maxfmum of 8-feet high and a fence on top of a fence would be wore offenatve; tYiat they were
requesting waiver of `he minimum landacaping, not because they did not want landscaping, but
becauae they were crowded for epace; that the stored material.s were uaed in the fruit process-
ing plant l.ocated to the eouth of sub~ect property; that their operation required a lot of
packaging mater.ials wlti.ch had Co be sCored; that they utilized palletized materials, which
was a more widely used method in the induatry; and that they would 11ke to continue the out-

give a bQautif 1 effect to the area. He further notad that a S-year lease with an option
for additi.onal cime cuuld not bo cor~eidered ehort term and as long ae the peCltioner. wa~
going to hnve a buainess at thut location, they ehQi~ld try to beautify Che City~ and aeking
for a few trees ehoul.ci not cauae A hardship; and that he would certai.nly lika Co sQe the
ar.ea upgraded.
Asaietank Zoning Supervisor M:~ika 3antalnhtt noted fo~ Che ~ommisaion that if the petiCioner
provided 5-foot wide landscaping, wniver af tha minimum landacaping a<Ijacent r.o a local etreet
wuuld no longer be necesoary.
O.fficc Engin~er Jay Titus adviaed that the property line presently w~e et 20 fee[ frum the
centerline of Atchioon Street, or at the existing curb face, and there was an existing eide-
walk; 2hat tlie City was aaking for dedicaCion to the back of the aid~walk and if dedicaCion
was not mF-de~ the Commieaion cou13 not accomplish the 5-feet uf landscaping required.
Pleiining Super~isor pon McDaniel noted for the Co~iseion that tree we~ls would not eaCisfy
the landacapi•.g requirementa, whether eald landscaping wae at the curb or 5-feet back from
Che curb.
Mr. Silzle etipulated that they would be happy to landscape the parkway; and Commissioner
FRrano noted that the type landacaping required was usually behi.nd the aidewalk.
Ntt. McDaniel then noted that the aidewalk exiated on private property and the City wae
requeeting the property owner to dedicate to 30-feet width frum the centerllnE of Atchisoti
Street, and that waiver of the minimum landacaping would apply to the 5-foot aetback from
the new right-of-way li.ne.
Ctiai~man Herbat inquired how long iC would take the petitioner to get in touch with the
property owner regarding the requested dedi~ationo to which Mr. Silzle sCated that could be
accomplished within the next day or so; and Commiasioner Faranr, noted that it would be within
the parametera of the Planning Commission to apecity the conditions for the proposed uae
regardlesa of whether the property owner would dedicate or not.
Mr. McDaniel noted ehat typically dedicatian was madQ ae a condition for the granting of a
speci.al privileg~. to a proper.ty owner; and that the dedication was nceded by the City and
there should be no questi.on regardi.ng whether or not it should be made a condition of
approval. He further noted Chat tree wells would not satisfy the Code requiremer~te, technically,
however that could be approved as a substitute at the discretion of the Commisaion.
In response to questloaing by Chairman Herbst, Mr. Silzle etated thaC the S fent of land-
scaping would not hurt tt~e pro~ect, however, it should be noted that they would lose five
times 270 £eet (the length of the property), which crould have been used for storage purposea.
In response to questioning by Comm~seioner Johnson, Mr. Silzle stated that Chree cubea of
palletized material would be higher than a 6-foot fence and conformance to that requiremenC
would create a tiardahip ta their aperatton, aince the volume of their operation was increae-
ing; and that an 11-foot fe-:ce would cauge some proble~ne in connection with the winds in the
area.
Regard~ng slatting of the proposed fence, Commisaioner Farano notecl that the Commisaion had
tried in their developwent standards ta stay away fram aluminum s1aCs becauae of the generally
bad appearance.
It was noted that the Director of Development Services had determined that the proposed
activity fe11 within the definiti.on of Section 3.01, Class 5 of the Ci:y of Anaheim Guide-
lineA ko the Requirementa for an EIR and was, there£ore, caCegorically exempC from the require-
ment to file an EIR.

Mr. Stewart Moee~ rapresenting tl~e Santa Ana Canyon PrapetCy Owi~ers Aseociation, appeared

whethpr ~ny ~ddiCiunal study l:ad beAn made regarding thg lfqutficatinn o£ ooila during a
h~avy enrthquack or aeiemic activlty.
Mr. Daum repli~d that tha County of Orange, in thnir etudy~ liad done xn:~~-depth geo-technicel
analyaie whiah ovarlapped the analysis oF the City of Anaheim, and in khaC otudy there was
an indication that the liquification of so!].s in the Ca~~yen atea was a potential factor, and
thaC thera was au attempL- Co prcvide for ~u~.h an occurrence in tY~e Bl.ement.
Cocmniseio:~er Farano question~d what use Che propoeed Element would be other than to meet the
SCake requiremente, etc., and Mr. llaum advised Chat while tlie aCudy wae gear.ed to meeting
the State requlrementa, it would provide a besie for policy guidallnes; r.hat if the City
wanted Co eo incorporate 4t~e Element, it conld pertnin Co basic conetruc,tion; that the
ElemenC presently incorporaCed risk analyp~.e and wae a document which could be expanded upon
and provided suffici.ent data and reseaxch to an~wer yueet!ons pr~pounded by developers;
that the Clement was not intended to be an extenei~e geo-technxcal analysis and one cou?d
noC conatruct a project based upun the informaCion contained therein; however, the Element
wou~d serve ae a guide for a site analysie.
Mr. McDanie~ noCed for the Commisaian that the varioue elum~~nts of the Anat-eim Generul Plun
did noC, i.n and of themselves, do anytlii.ng apecifi.c except to i.dentify the posaibilit~.es and
ramif.Ications; that the S~iamic a~id Safety Element euggested poeaibla implan~xCatio~t techn~gqie~nII
and discaeRed some of Che concerns to aid additlonal etudy; and Chat one of the Fugg
within the Elernent was thal- "It is desirable that additiunal gealogi.c rsnd aeismic investiga-
tion and analyais be conducted by a q~~111fi.ed engl~eering geologiaC to ~ietermine acceptable
levels of riek thraughout the City of Anaheim and to ~ecommend policies to d~al with exisCing
and nroposed atructural requirements to minimixe potent,ial Aeismic hazarda"; and that basic-
ally Ch~ ~lement would set the par.ametere and place everyone on notice that the City had
such a document.
Commissioner Farano inquired what were the i~tentiona for the use of the doc~iment, if adopted;
and Mr. McDuniel advised that with its adoption, the City would have a tool with which Co
facilitate any course of action ior seismic and safet~; that there was a p~ssibility the
City m~ght wanC to hire a geologist ko ~o geo-technical. reporting to determi.ne the risk
involved if buildinga were proposed for constructton in certain areas; that as an ElemenC
of the GenerAl Plan, the propoaed ~,lemen,: was intended to be a framework within which to
accomplish the necessary things with rigard thereto.
Commiasioner Gauer notad that the aub~ect Llement would put peopiabilit~ttoe~chteaCittleifwthe
in an earthqttack area; and he questioned if there woul.d L•e any Y y
people indicPCed C~ey ahould have nad sooner ~oti~icakion.
Deputy City Attorney Frank Lawry advised that preaently, tu his knowledge, ehere was no
liability on the part of a city who allowed c~natructi.on to take place in an earthquake area;
how~ver, the State legiElature had mandated that rhe City muat have a seismic an,i a sa£ety
c~lement as a NarC of their ~eneral p].an to plesce the pub].ic on notice that such a document
existed; Chgt the document would give the City another eource of information for ~onaidera-
tion tu be ~aeed in conjunction with envtronmental impact r.eporta and any other doc~unentation
that might be needed to aubstantiate an opinion, i.e , th~e document might aubatantiate a
reason for denial of a tract.
Commiaeianer ~arano then noted that due to the timing involved with adoption of th~ groposed
Element Co meet the St~te deadline, followiz~g adoption he would auggeat an i.n-depth stsdy
of said Element by each Cowmisai.~ner in ordpr that ir could be used ae an effective`hAff~
asauming the document was authoritative and ~heze were con~petent and knowledgeable
mpmbere to gulde its usage; that the Element could establieh the criteria for futuse plan-

Dr, George 0. Kirkelie, the p~tiCioner, appear~d be:ore "_he Cocnniasion and stated hc~ was
tn complete agreement with the atar~~menCe contained in tlie Staf£ Reporc.
Mr. Mic~: • I Garan ~ppeared befare the Comonisa~.on ~-tid eCnted he was one of the prop~rty
ownera ~ tt~e weat ot eub~ect property; that he wns not adveroe to offices to the sast of liie
properey, however~ hP wished to r.eview the plana eince Cheze were questione with respect to
a previoua prapoeal nnd he had not geen the new plaus; that there had been a reqcee~: for
muCu:il ing_~sae and egrass pravio~.sly and that one of hia parkners did nat wisti to go along
wit•h that proposal; and that the trash truclce for. the aubject pruperty would have been Rb1C
to clrcumvent hie own property. Thereup~n, the pJ.ans were paseed to Mr. Garan for his
rev~ew.
TFi~ ~'iJBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairmai~ ~tc~rbst n~~~ ~il that the purpose of the zoning on the property in the subject area was
to hopefully have aome land aesembly; and that if the propoDal was ~pproved and constructed,
ti-e property to the eaat would bz a sub-standard C-0 lot. He queationed if there had been
aay effort [o asaemble that particular corner parcel with the eubject property.
Dr. Kirkelie sCated th~re had been some effort to assemble laiid, including the parcel ment•lor.-ed
by Chairman Herbst; that the aski.ng price far that p3rcel w,~s out ~f. propoTtiun t~ the net
price; t.hat Mr. Garan had also tried to contact the awners of th:~ par~el to the east and
the property owner had hung up the telephone on him; thar it had been ratY~er difficult to
talk witn thal nroperty owner, however, there would tzave been no problems if they had been
willing to pay the askinR prica.
Chairman Herbst noted that when the parcPl to the ear~t was ready to develop, it would be
much harder to ~ueCify the v~ariances that might be n~ce~sary, in the event they did not sell
at this time and combine witF~ the sub~ect prapsrty.
Dr. Kirkelie diacusaed the requested vari.ances and atated that Ar. one tia~e they tiad hoped
for a common dri.veway wtth the property to the wPs*, so that ~he trash could be pick~d up in
the rear of tnEir .lot; and that tl~~ proposal was to h~ve the trash storage area ~~ithin s
planter area which might need to be enc~.osed by decorative gates. ,
Commisc~ioner Gauer noted ttiat the owner of thc property to the east should be notified thut
they were building in th~~tr ow~~ hardahips by not combining with the sub~ect property since
that property mighC not be lar~e enough for. a logical developmet~t; and that the ldea of the
C-0 ~oning was t~ assemble the parcels of land.
Dr. Kickelie then staCed they hacl not 3lacus3ed Cheir proJect with the pro~~:rty owner to the
east, but rad simpl;~ tried to purcha~e that property about 24 months ago and again about 18
months a~;o, and that becauae thaC property owner, Seaeide Oil Company, had hunE up the tele-
phone on Mr. G~ran, they had i~ot tried to purchase the propert; again.
Mr. Guran confirmed that he t:ad indsed been treated by the Seaside Oil Company in the manner
deacribed by Dr. Kirkelie; that Seaside had been very unrealietic about the price of the
property; chat they had offered $15,000 for that property at one time and the asking price
was $35,OU0, and Igter offered $20,000. Mr. Garan conti.nued b~ atating that following hia
review uf the plan~, he had one objecticn, being that the proposed building aould he setting

Mr. John Sw~~nt, the Jaeigner of the proposed pro~ect~ nppenred befor~ the CommtASi.on and,
in reaponRe ~o quesC.l~ning by the Plaitning Commideion, `._ ateted that the c+ub~ect property
wea c-ot very deep and wae further complirttt~d by the requ;red 10-foor landscaping in t;he
rear plua the landecapit~g for the front; tt,at diaganal parking ~ou1d not b~ uti.lized because

movec~ be.:.k gbout 5 fuet; and that the old atructures on the norCh sidE of the eub~ect property
wexe not occupied.
Commiaeio~,er Gaiier then noted ~_hat with the 5 feet of lt~ndscspin~, ~t the reaY of the property,
a buffer would be provide~t for ~iint area, ae well as allowin~ the building to be moved back
appro~:imately 5 feet Co align it with the adjnc~nC comwercial building~ to Che weat.
Mr. Garan atated that moving thr~ i~ nosed atructure back from the btreec would cauae l~as

Dr. Kirlcelie stipulated that hc~ was in compl~~te agreement with moving the etructur: ;etback
