wliereupon~ Mr. Slaughter advised thxt since the pit~ns i.ndicated the futiire landacaped
aetback~ there would be no problem with the. Placining Commi.~aion proceeding witho~,~t adver-
tising ~uch u waiver. 'fhe ngents then Al•rat:ed thc~y ulanned ro improve upon the landacaping

ment cancerning relacation of trash atorage areas to t:~e south towarde Sycamore Street.
The agant further atated regarding the requirement that the utllities be placed underground,
that they would rather put ~sid uCilities overhead aince the utilities in the area were
presently all overhead. Chairman HerUst nated ttiat any new de~velopment in L•he area would
be requirrd to put t e utilities underground from the property line iaward; that under-
ground utilities werc: becoming standard and if the CiCy w~nted to evenCua?ly get t~ where
they wanted to be in that respect, they had ~to ic~pose the c~ndiCion fox every new building.
Commiasioner Farano noted tha~ if the unlerground utilitiea wer.e requi.red a~ a later date,
the expense would be much greater and, thereupon, the agent stipulated they would rather
put the uCilities underground during the development of the property, ~f the expenseR
would be greater lat~:r on. The agent cantinued by stnting the tree ~lanting fees had been
paid and Crees had been planted, whereupan, ~ontng Super~visor Charles Roberts noted that

no+: want the portion of the atreet in front of the eub~ect property widened unlesa the
rest of the streeC in th~ area was also widened. Mr. Titus advised that, undex the
presant traffic conditions, he did not foresee that ttie atreet would be widened in Che
very near future; however~ he could i~ot project when the traffir would build up to Che
polnt where the City would r.equire that the street be widened.
Discuasion puraued regardinE the noise level wl-~ich would be generated fr~m the pr~posed

Che public hearing. it ia referr.ed to and made a part of Che mi.nutes.
Mr. G. Richard Sant~ representing GanC Conatruction Compsny, ChP developer, appeared
before the Planning Commiaeion to answer questiona regarding the proposAl. ~
THE PUBLLC HEARING WAS CI.OSEll.
In reyponBe to questi~ning by Commisaioner Tolar, Mr.. Sant stated the homee wou].d be eited
on the lots tn meet the setback requiremet~t, including on the cul-de-sacs. TY~ereupon,
Zoning Supervi.aur Charles Roberte noted Chat ~11 the sel•backs on the cul-de-sacs muaC be a
minimum of 25 feeC and the developet did not have the privilege of the 6 to 10-foot set-
backe on the c.ul-de-sac aince there would nol• be enough curbside p~.rking availab'le.
Mr, Je£f Millet, repreRenting the engineer for the developer, appEared before the Planning
Commtesion and~ in reaponse to qu~dtioi~ing hy Chairman Herbst, ata~ed 3 feet of tlie pro-
poaed berm along the adjacent railroad right-of-way would be located within said right-of-
way and that they did not have documentation from the railroad company fo• ~ae of eaid
right-o€-way yet; however, if they were not able to ~ise the railroad propertv, then they
would need a 40-foot higY~ w~1I for the sounc! atCenuiition. Mr. Mlllet further atated that
at one time they had a grading permit and tite tracte wer~ ready to record, but they had
been unable to proceed at that time.
Chairman Herbst n~ted thaC prior to the aub.ject maCtera bei.ng approved, the Planning
Co9misaion should have something in wr'iti*~g to insure thaC the project would be built, as
eubmiL•ted~ to include the berm and wall fur aound attet~uation. He further. noted that the
liv~.ng conditions adjacent to the railroad Lracks were Uad at beat and, if the berm and
wall were not conatructed, as indicated on the plans~ t}ien the Planning Com.ni~sior~ woald
probttbly require a wide landacaped stri•~ to get the hones away from the tracks; that if
the develooera had witnesaed the nt,.nber and speed, etc., oY ttie traine at the Green Kiver
Golf Course, they would know the problems involved; and that the noise £rom Che ti•aing
would rattle the homea. Mr, Millet offere<i to diaplay a map ahowing the ex~stiii~ devel-
opment in Che area ad~acent to the railroad tracka; whereupon, Chairman Herbst noted that
tha Planning Commisaion was aware of the existing deuelopment and he clarified thac rhe
Commission had not approved said developmex~t und, further, that he did not ,ee how the
people could live out there.
Commiesioner Farana not~d that he woald fee!. better about the proposal if the t~er of lota
adjacent to tt~e railroad was eliminated an~:. in response to a statement by Mr. Millet rhat
thay would like to move ahead with the developmenC while the encroachment permit: from the
railroad wac~ being obtai.ned, Commissioner Farano noted that he did underatand the deaire
of. the develo~er to puah ahead xt tliia time, since the pro~ect had beer. in the process
slnce approximately 1971; that the developer should be willing to wait until they knew for
sure that they would be able to utilize a por tion of the rallroad right-of-way on a perma-
nent baei~, aince if that did not happen, then the developer would '~e back before the
Planntng Commission. In respnnse, Mr. Millet etated th~ previoue devel~per did not mave
ahead fur ~economical reasona and the prop$rty ownere had farecl.osed; that they now were
working with a new .:•.~el~per and thP trac~ mape were about to expire; and that before they
coula p:oceed in +~r.y fashion, they nee:ed approval of the3r proposal from the City.

they were required to oblain from tha Orange County Flood Contr.o.l Dietrlct indicating
favorable cnnditions accepCable to Che City. Mr. Mill et further sCaled khat La Palma
Avenue was the levee and the Flood Control District wou.ld make sure, ln l•hetr exami.nation,
that none of Che homes were bc~low that level.
Chairmar~t~erbst inquired regnrding the noise level in th~ back ynrds o£ r;ie homey and
Mr. Sant staCed that, realizing that the pri.mary conc ern would be noise, they had desi.gned
the berm and wall which they fe1L would take care of ti~e i~uis~ within 600 feet of the
rnilroud trac:k. Chairman Herbst thPn natied that he assumed tl~e developer would i.natall
double~paned windaws, etc., however, he was inkerested t~ know i.f. Dr. hilliard, the bio-
couetical engineer~ had concluded ot~ ihe sound level dbA that woald be achieved in the
bock yardA, aince reference to same had been oma.tted in the F.nvi.ronmental Impnct Report.
Commisaioner Tolar then noted th~~r although the Plann in$ Comr~iss•lon Rhuuld be concerned
about Che noise 1e~~e1, the market ~or the pr~duct wou 1 d be governed by some of the problems
being discusaed; and ttiat if the develupment wa~ not h ighly marketaUle, then the prices
would have to be lowered accordizgly. Chait-man Herbs t noted Chat. complainta were on file
with the City from tt~e hom~ownere ln the exiating s3ng le-family devslopment along the
railroad track, ~lndicating that when they purchased. *_~e homes, they were advised that only
a couple of trains would be going by every day, and thaC was why he wanted the developera
to mp~:;. :~atements regarding the aound attenuation, an.d iE t!:ey could not provide a good
11~~ing environmenr, then the pro~ect would be questionable. Chsirman Herbst added that if
tY.e projec.t was to be like Cae existin~ development a long the railroed, then he would not
vc~te i.n favor. ~f it, and that was wh}• he was interested to know if Dr. Hilliard had made a
s:atempnt regarding the noiae level in the bac'k yards.
Thereupor.~ Mr. Sant stated that by con:~tructing a 6-f ooC waZ'1 on top of a 3-foot high
be~~., and with rhe homea ..o closer than l0U feet from the centerline of the railroad
track~ then the people could live inside or ouCnide their homes; and that the reason they
would like to have Che tract maps approvQd prior Lo obtaining the railroad's en^r~achment
agreement was based on the fact that everything took time.
Ct~airman Herbat directly inquired if the 65 dbA n~ - level outeide the :~omes in the back
yards could be achieved, and Mr. Sant indicated th.,t• according to Dr. Hilliard's letter
dated May 23, 1975, the noioe 1eve1 r~quirements, bo tt~ inside and outside, would be met.
Chairmait Herbet f.urther noted that due to the railrosd the Planning Commisaion had felt
the properties along it ahould be developed very low deneity and, all of :3 sudden, there
was medium d~neity and increxsed property values; and that, in hi~ opinion, if the devel-
opere wished to build adjacent to the railroad, they ahoutd apend the money to make it
livable~ since they would be making the profit. Commisaioner Farano concurred that the
develapers ~hould be able to gfve up enough land to make ti-e pro~ect 1lvable; that he did
not agree that aingle-familv homes should be constructcd adjacent to the railroad and thaC
if there was any quEVtion ae to whether or not the railraad company would give an irrevoc-
able license for tha 3 feeC of right-of-way, then any a~':ion on tha proposal ahauld wait.
It wae n~ted that the Sanr.a Ana River/Santiago Creek Greenbelt Commisaion had submitted a
letter dated June 6~ 1975, recommending that in appr oving the propoaed development a
condition be included for landscaping andlor screening along that portion of tha pro~~_ct
which was visible from Yorba Regional Park and tha p lanned Santa Ana Canyon trail ,y~stem;

Staff did not know i£ the CreenbnlC Commission wanted a denAe ecreen~ etr..
In response to quQeti~ninq by Chnit~naan Herbatt Mr. Sant e~etEd the grade level of tha lote

tliaC the devalaper would pny eCreeC feee and the C.ity would pl.ant the treea in lhe adjacent

Avenue and Mr. M111eC explained h.hat the CiCy had be~n warlci.ng with Che County to meut~der

Mr. Sant took exception to Condition No. 12, ae aut furttc in ths Staff Report~ regarding
elorm dra:[nage in connection wlth the model home camplex (Conditionul l)s~ Pennlt No.
1543). He etated that Cha reason for ~he conc~itional use perroit wao tu heqi.n Che model

would requJ.re etorm drains be camplPted prior to final inspectian on tt~e model homc~g.
Office ~ngineer Jay 'litua udvised Ltia~ tha grading t~euld bP s•eq~~ired prior to October 15

for. the model homes and build them during July and Aug~ist and then, as soon us the tract

graded. Mr, Titus furCher advised th~t if t.he condition requiring atorm draine for the
model home comple.x wcts removed~ then prior t~~ October 1S or prior to any grading on Che
tractss the atorm draina would be required. Pursuanx to further diecuesion~ the Planning
Commiasion determined that Condition No. 12 for Conditional liae Permit No. 1543 should.
read: "Tha4: drainagQ of said property ehall be diapoRed c.f in a mauner satl~~dutory to
the City Engineer."
Upon request from the Plannir.g Commission for an additional condition Co be impoaed for
Conditional Use Permit No. 15~f3 and for Tract No. 7137 (it~~~i.sion 6) and TracC No. 7666
(Revision 1), Mr. Slaughter offered a condition to read that the owner(s) ehall obtain
an irrevacable l.icen~e or easement for use of tlie prop~~~y located within the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad right-of-~way tu permit a portion of tt~e required sounrl-attenuation

pern-ir or the is~uance of building permita for said activit~." The Planning Commiasion
concurred in the suggested condition and Mr. Sant ~tipulated `c compliance therewith.
Mr~ Sant took exceptior~ to Condii ;.:,ti No. 7 fo: Tract No. 71~' (~e.vision 6) and stated the
homeowners would also own the slope of the lota. In response, Mr. Roberts advised that
although the slopea within the tract boundaries being con~idered were probr~bly insignlflcant,
it would be well to leave the condition in a: <iiis lime, rather than to have to require ie
at a later date. Thereupon, the Planning Commi.safon conairred to leave the condition in
at t'~is time. In reaponse to quastioning by Mr. Sant, Chairmati Herbst cl.arlfied that the
condition ~ould apply to the echool aite also.
Mr. Sarit took exception to Condition No. 2 for Tract Pio. 765G lRevision Z) ar.d s~tated thQy

Comc~iaeioner Fnrano noted that he was voting againat any motion to approve Che proposal
31nce he feZt the development of thi.s type houeing in the subject area was marginal and
because of the marginal nature, the Planning Commiasion should have everything before them
for review prior to any action; thAt everything needed to ma'~ce the homeo as pleasant aa
possible stiould be provided; and tha't he did not feel the City Attorney should be burdened
with the responaibiliCy for the acceptanc~ or rejection of Che railroad righx-of-way
licenae or easement. Thereupon, Mr. Slaughter clarified that the intent would be to bring
the referenced document before Che Planning Commieaion for review and/or interpretation
prior to ac ceptance of same. Commissioner Farano then noted that he wh~ concerned that by
the Planning Co~anission taking an action on the xab~ect matter at this Cime, the City
Attori~ey might feel compelled to accept a ~ompromisa si[lce they coiild not arbitrarily
reject the documenC, even if it deviated sowewhat from the Planning Commission's intent.
Mr. Slaughter further aa~~.~~a that there we:e no oUjections from his paint of view to
bringing the document to the Planning Commission for interpretation. Mr. Millet then
stated they would be pursuing a docament for the per~manent uae of the railroad property in
4ueaCion. Commisaioner k'arano then noted Chat based on the furCher comment by the Deputy
City Attorney and Mr. Miilet, he was morE in favor of taking uction at thie~ meeting and
felt the P lanning Commiaeion's review of the referenceci document would be in the nature of
an intPrpretation ~f intent~ and if said document was riot apprnpriate, as interpreted by
the Planning L'ommisaion, Cheri the condition would nat be consi.dered to be f.ul£illed. The

thoea peoplt would have been preaent at thia t~me; and that the opposition we~e not l•o Che
chur.ch~ per ae, 6ut to Che waivers being propoaed. Mr. Seel.ert referred to the Municipal

inge being "'1'hat Che size and shape of the ntLc prapoa:.d for the use ie adequate to a11ow

Mr. Bill ~hrle~ 3220 :~„~et Romneya Drive, Maheim, appeared before the Planning Cominiseion
repres~nting the Coalitiot~ of 14 homeowners' groups banded togeCher for the. expresa purpose
of prutecting the homeowners and their property; thaC the Coalition felt Chat the church
h~d every right to be there and ther.e was no question about that; that there were already
several churches in the area, a~so; that the prapor~ed new etiructur.ea did not meet the
requirementa ~f the origlnal agreement, aince they were much larger and, therefore, the
pxoposal was an in£ringement on the homeownere in the area; that from ti.me to time a
reflection was required to see if the agreementa made severel yeara hence were still
appropriate and, in t}:ia case, if the Flans wexe for a larger facility, that was not good;
that if Che church planned to go al~ead and bui.ld nn Che existing land, they should use
their original plan; that there shuuld be land within the City that wouZd be approprtate
fur the church and the City ~+hould be able to purchase the sub~eck property to expand the
park; and that the CoRlition's auggestian to the Planni~ng Commission would be to perhnps
neither re~ect nor deny tnis appllcaCion, but to make sure that every avenue had been
explored.
In rebuttal~ Mr. Stoopa apologized for the error in stating the current plana were similar
in aize, nnd he atated that the previous plans were submi.tted approximately ten years a~o
and in the meantime conditione had changed which neceasitated the increased siza; Chat he
would que~tion whether the City Council's intent was that the atructureK be iden*_ical to
what was proposed in 1964; and that the current proposai was not for a doubling in the

THE ?';JBLIC HEGRING WA5 C1,OSEU.
Commissioner Morley inquired of Staff if there was any nosai.Uility of relocating the
church on C3ty-owned property, and Mr. Roberts advised that right after the h~~meowners
addressed the City Counci.l sevezal monChs ago~ the City's Right-of~Way Staff began explor-
ing several aitea for po~sible relocation; and that there were really very few aites ~ahich
were o~ ~ufficiant eize~ and none were actuglly conaidered large Enough.
In response to ques loning by Chairman Herbst, Reverend Moreno stateJ the relocation
effort had been explored and the City had not come up with a suitable aite; however, they
had no obiections to relocating. Chairman i~erbat then noted that to purchase another site
tu trade, the City might have to epend considerably more funda; and that, additi~ually,
consideration ehould be given to Che fact that the needs of the church five yeara from now
might increpse also, making the subjecC property even lees appropriate for tiie expansion.

the church was ~bligated by the agreemc~nt to aell ttie property for S30,U00~ there wa~ no
reason for th~~ City l•o pny more for th~ prop~rky. Chai_~~man H~er.bet then notad th~t Che
church could bufld to thei.r ol.d ptana. which woul.d not be in tha baet interest of either
party.
Commiseioner Morle~ noted that any further obligatic>n on the parC uf the City would be a
woral obligation. Coauaiseioner Gauer reviewed a caa~e in poinl' wliere the City had made a
aimilar trade in the Mahelm Hills area. Mr. Slaugl~ter clarified that, in that cnst, the
City wae pa,ying for property ko be used for publlc purposes, wher.eupoc~, Chairtnan Herbst
noted that the subject property would be added tc Chaparral Park in the Crade.
Mr. Slaughter then adviaed thut he was referring Co the property that the City would be
p~~r~}~aping tm m~kp the trade.
In reponse to questioning by Chairman Herbat~ Reverend Moreno indicated that the location
of the church site wae not ae important as the cnot of purchasing a new aite.
Chairman Herbst noted that he realized the petitioner had until August, 1975, to exect the
church and church achool addition on the property, after whic:h t~ne xhe City may acqtiire
said property; however, he felt a continuance for consideratiun of the sub~ect Petition
ior Conditiona~. Uae Permir. No. 612 (readvertised) was in order so Chat the City could do
everything possible ta explore ~very alternative in finding a better site for the ch.~rch
faciliCy, si:ice it appeared the location was not ae~ important as the maney which might be
involved. Chairman Herbst continued bq noting that: it appeared the park needed additional
ground and the eub,ject property was an ideal area L-o provide ~ame; that acquiring the
subject property might cost the City more than the $30,000 prev~.ously agr.eed to; however,
he wo~ild not want the 3ub~ect property to be devel~~ped as a church, iP it w~ss at all
posaible for it to h~ developed for park purposes.
Commiasic,ner Morley inquired about [he size ~f the church's property on PatC Street, and
Reverend NorEno indicn.:ed that said property was approximately ~s0 x 110 feet in size and
there was no adjacent vacant land which could be u~sed tu increase Che church aite at that
location.
Mr. Stoops requeat~d that the Plunning Comruisaion consider the validity of the opposition,
based on the actual ad~acent uaes to the aubject T>rAperty.
Mr. Roberts noted that the City Council's previou~a direction *.o Staff regarding the
differeut location for the church was to explore ~_xisting CiCy-owned properties which
might be of auitaUl.e location and size, and there appeared to bP none which qualified.
Chairman Herbst then n~~`ed that the Commission's preaent thinking on l•he matter was to
poasibly raise the valuc. of the Pub,~ecr property to a realiaCfc and reasouable amount for
acquiaition by the City.
Chairman Herbst auggested that the ~ity Council e~hould review the happenings at thia
meeting and the f~ct thaC unless the City did something about the reloc3tion poasibilitiea,
then the church would probably preceed ta construct the addiCion on the subject property,
although it was generally agreed that saic: prope~'ty was not really adequate for the size
chur~h needed by the congregation; and that the (:ity ahould do ev~erything poasible to make
the aub,ject propetty a park area, aince it wae nc~t nctually auitable for a church and the
church was willing to accept another suitable loc:ation.
Co:nmiseioner Morley offared a mokion, aeconded by Cenm-issioner Gauer and MOTION CARRIED,
to reopen the public hearing and continue coneid~:ration of Petl~ion for Conditional Uae

Council t~ Xeview the matter as it preaently exists, since a proposal had been aubmitted

CUNDITIONAI. USL PF.RMI'C NUS. 15G1 AND 1542 (Continuad)
Although the St~atf ItepurtR to the Planning Commiseion dated Junc 9, 1975. were not read at
the public her~ring, thc:y ure referred to uttd made a parC of the m~nutaR.
Mr. Jay Kingry~ represcnti.~ig llie agent for the p~titioner., appeAxed before the Ylanni.ng
Cammiasion and reviewed the h:lstory of the three billbourds in queetion.
TN~ PUBGIC HENt~NG WAS CIASFD.
Commisaioner Tolar recnlled that at the previous public i~enring for the subjsct billboxrde,
Mr. K+.ngry had been usked tiow long it w~uld tuke for. the Y'acific Outdoor AdverCiaing
Compuay to recupernte their investment ln the billbuai~do, ~nd Ctie responen wao approximaCely
six months to a yeur t~nd, therefor~, thF Planning Cnmmission had gianted the one year.
Thereupun~ Mr, Kingry staC~d tt»t if Che opini.on of th~: 1'lanning (:ommiesiot~ wus based on
whether the d:lgii company had goCCen their money oul• of rhe eigns, then i~ would take r~even
to ten ye~rs~
The Pl~inni.n~ Commi~sion and StafF reviewed the Planning Commi:.~ion minut.es of the rreviour~
public he~rings f~>r the aub~ect billboarda, during whi.ch Commiseioner Johnson noted thnt
the motinn3 and minutes were as he remembered them and, [herefore, he was eurprised tt~at
the petiCiouer was back Uefore the P.lanning Commission with the matter.
Chairman Herbgt inqu.red what was the retitioner's reaeon for aaking for continuance of
rhr_ aigne and Mr. Kingry stated since Chere were no objecriona fr~m Che public, they would
2ike to keep ttie btllboards until there was a chan.ge iti tha use of. the property; that the
aervice stati.on At the souLhcaest corner of Broadway and Anaheini Boulev~rd was operating
presecitly and the lundownera were nLso receiving rental cu~ney in connection witt- the
blllboarda. Chairman Her.bst then noted [hat he agre~d that the areu was run down and
aubject to renewal, and that the Uillboards ~aould give s~me revenue to the property owner~
that they would not otherwi.se have until some redevelopment took place; thHt he waul.d be
in favar of al.lowing the use on a year-to-year basis, sub~ect to review and also sub~ect
to r~emoval at any time. Mr. Kingry then stated the billboards were preaently on a 30-day
lease arrang~-ent.
Commiesioner Tolar took exception to the suggested continuation of the bi.llboarda on the
basis tliar. all of the propertie» in the area could benefit from aimilar billboards.
Cammiasioner Far.ano added that the other properti~s had not been allowed to have bi'l1-
boards. Co~anisaioner King noted xhrt he would go along ~vith a one-year extension of time.
The Planning Commission entered iato discueaion with Staff regardi.ng the application mctde
to the City Council on Apri1. 22, 1975, requeating an Extension of time for the continued
uae of the existing Uillboards, and i.t was noted that satd requeat was denied ot~ the basis
khat the conditional use p°rinir was granted for a spFCified one-year pe:ind of time; and
it was furthEr nated that since it was not appropriate to ~rant an extens~an the petitioner
should make a new application. Commisai~ner Farano inquired {.f the City Councit indicated
any diapleasure with Che aigne and their tocation, and Zoning Sapervisor Charlea Rouerts
noted thst therP were coumients made by one or t~ro of the City Council Members who were not
particularly in favor of the request.
Deptity City Attorney rtalcolm Slaughter n~ted that one of. tt-e billboards was not preaently
locaCed within a redevelopment pro~ect area, however, it was concei~rable th~t the project
area might be expanded ir~ the future to include that properY.y und h~ then inquired if Cl~e
peciCioner wae aware of the Rel~~cation Act which might antitle the petitioner to rel.oca-
tion assietance, and in reply Mr. Kingry atated he was. Mx. 3laughter the-. inquired if
the petitioner would be a~r~eable to walving the right to relocation aseistance for all
three billbo~-rds, and Mr. Kin~;ry reQlied in behalf of the petitioner that he would atipulute
thereto. The Planning Commiasion concurred that if Che sub~ect request was approved, th~
fore~oing atipulation to waive the right to relocation asaistance would be required in
writing from the petitioner p1•ior to review by the City Counr_il, and Mr. Kingrq replied
that he had already alerted his company in that xegard.
Commieaioner Tolar noted that he fel~ the City h~.d already corrected ii:e wrong by allowing
the billboarde for the one-year period of time.
St wae noted that the Director of the Development Servicee llepartment hnd determined that
the proposed activity fell within the definiCion of Section 3.01~ Class 1, of the City of
Anaheim Guidelinea to the Requirements for an Bnvironmental Im~act Report ~nd wae, there-
fore, categorically exempt from the require~oent to file an EIR.
