conducking all of the work inside the struckure; t!~at the boat fabricatton business was
not expandtn~a at Its present location~ to his knrnvledc~e; that regarding pnrk(ng for the
church, the submltted site plans had been generlc and the entlre floor area was committed
tn seatinq for st~~-ff analysis purposes, hnwever~ he now had a plan showing hnw many seats
were expected; and that oarkinq for al) of the uses would be pravided in accordancs w(th
Code re~uirements.
TN~ PUBLIC NEARING WAS CLOSEC
71ie Planning Commissian reviewed the list of uses~ durinc~ which Commfssioner lalar took
exception to the proposal for "automobfle and boat rcpair~" noting that the City would
have to live with the uses, as granted~ and he recogntzed that the property awncr(s) would
erv to subgidize themselves when vacancies arose In the future ancl would want xo further
revise the llst of uses; th<it~ in his opinion~ palnt spray bootf~s were also not
approprlate in d comrn~rcia) zone; that although the buildtng pro~osed to be occupied by
the automobile and boat repair use was isolated from the main cenr.er, developers would
look at said use~ If appravad~ as a precedent fn a cartxnercial zone ancl would not consider
the hardships uf the subJect property in relationshtp to its location with ~oor access and
being ad)acent to the fr~eway; that he a~reed that the property was untque hut he was very
concerneci about the manner in which the uses might be approved~ although he wanted to be
able to help the petitioner as much as possible to revlve the property; that he felt the
product fabrication and automahile and boat repair uses shuul~i be considered on a time
llmitatlon basis for review by the Planninn Commission every one or two ye~rs and the use
should be confined to the existing free-standin~i structure on the southwest portion of the
sub)ect property; that alThough the petitioner was stipulating to conduct al) of the work
inside the bulldin~~ parking of the vehicles c~utside would not be precludecl and there were
some existinq problems in this respect with ather properties in the City; and that the
vehlcle fabrication use~ zven in an industria) zone, would probably vlolate the noise
ordinance daily.
Commissioner Y.ing noted that the noise from the adJacent fr~~nway woc~ld probably be loudsr
than tlie proposed aut~mobile and boat repalr and fabricatlon operati^+s; that fiis main
concern was for the ad,Jacent residential properties to the west, howeve~~ a fence was
proposed alonq the west property line with additiona) buffering and the structure was
somewhat remote from the adJacent homes.
Chairman Pro Tempore Herbst noted that tl~e petitioner hacl originally reque~ted industrial
zonin~ with a conditional use permit to have some commercial uses on the praperty~ a~d the
Planning Commtssion had ter~ded to agree that the CL Zone was more appropriate with a
cond~t(onal use permit for any industria) uses on the property; that the subject center
was totally '~dead" and the petitioner was trying to bring it back to life with some
flexi~!'.Oty, aslcing for gutdance by the submission of a list of uses, some of wliich were
margtnal ~~r the CL Zo~ie; that ~ome of the proposed uszs were permitted by ric~ht in the
commercial zone; that he favored approval of the proposed lfst of uses except that the
automobile and boat repair and fahrication shouiu b~ approved subject to review; that he
did not favor having the petitioner submit all ofi the uses for r~view by the Planning
Commission as the tenants were otitatned~ hecause nf the time such a procedure would
lnvolve; that automobile and ~oat repair~ ?r~:, generally ended up wlth outdoor storage~
however, he wouid I~ave no obJection if thet use was completely screened and all of the
work was performed inside Che building; that, if 2pproved subJect to a review f~rocedure~
the prospective tenants could be advised that Planning Commission review wnuld Lake place
approximatoly two wee~s from the date requested; and that If the proposal was d~termined
to be heavier than the Planning CQmmisSion intended ~nder the subiect conditlo~al use
Qermit, •hen an additional public hearing would be r~~uired ta be filed for said use.
Mr. Phillip S~:yderman~ 57~- West Commonwealth, Fullerton~ represtnting the propased church

that he was presenting for the Planning Commission's consideration a floor pian for the

In rr.sponsc to furthor qu~stioninn pnrtaining thr prop~+sed church fr+cflfty~ Mr. Ronald P.
Whitkinr~ the architect for 'ie church~ apPeared before the Planning Cammisslan and yCated
it wAS not the Intent nf the church to have a school other than for a Sunday schoc~l on

the church other than for typical cliurch functlons, wil) be subJect to the wevlew and
approval of the Plannin~ Commissi~r;,
In response tu the foreqoing, Mr, Mo~roe st(pulat:.d that tlie automc~hile and boat repalr
and f~bricatlon would not conduct buslness operatlons on S;mciays~ and that any outdoer
storage in connectlon wir.h sald use would be ccxnpletelY contalnecf ancl fenced off by a 6-

accordance with the Coc1e requirements~ and that plans wculd be submitted to thc Planning
Department for approval Inclicating the number of fixed s~ats in the place ef the maln
assembly insfde th~ proposed church f~cility.
Conan~ssloner Johnson indlcaCed that, based upon the explanat!on presented thus far~ he was
inclined to stancl behlnd the Zonin~ Code, especially since future c~wners anci/or tenants of
the subJect property might want additlonal uses which were unsuitable tn commerclal xones.
Mr. Munroe to~k exception~ stating that in his opinlon the subject property was n~c
commercial property any longcr since it had been burled by th~ adJacent freeway ramp;
that~ a~idltionally, the big stores in the surrounding area were destroyin9 the commercial
potential of the subject property; that the property could not be converted for multl-
family developm°nt since no one c~uld incur the financial responsibility for condemnation
of the b~ildings;that the school c~istrict ciid not want to purchase the property; that, in
his opinion, the hardship of the property c<:~,ld be solved by having some commerGlal use as
well as the light industrial uses proposed; that the present condition cf the property was
an eYesore to the cammunity~ as we?1 ~s a subJect fur vandalism; that the residents in the
area did not oppose the proposed uses and wanr~-d the property to be industria) rather than
commerclal; and that there were industrial uses adJacent to the subject praperty ~nd~ in
his opinion, the spot aoning in the area was actually the adJacent resicientlal
developrnent. Thereupon, l.ommissioner Johnson acknowledged the reasons for the praposal,
notinq that the prop~rty was a hardship parcel which could be approved on its own merlt.
!n response to the foregoing discussion, Ueputy ~ity Attorney Malcolm Slaughter advised
that it w~u!d be dlfficult ta disallow any of the uses~ once granied and relled upon; that
"product fabrication" was a very vague termin~logy and could consist of anything from a
translstor radic~ to a space capsule.; that the Planning Cormission had granted applications
in the past subject to review pri~~r to the use occupying the p~emises (i.e., a Koll
industrial center); that the scz~le or intensity ef the proposed uses could vary greatly
and that shnuld be a major consideration in the Planning Commission's determinatlon; that~
tf tliere was doubt in the mi~ds of the Commissioners that any of the pr~~posed uses might
not be approprlate, the Comr„ssion would be in a stronger reg~~'atory p~sitlon lf those
however if the Planniny
uses were c~nsidered separately under otner appllcations~ -
Commtssion approved the uses, subjecting the questionable uses to a review period, the
City Attorney's Office would attempt to defencf that position; that "chur~hes" should b~
~liminated from the proposed list since only one church was proposed; and that "private
ciubs and lodge~" were permitted by right in the CI_ Zone, subJect to the approval of the
City Council.
Discussion pursued regarding the spectfic uses proposed~ during wh3ch Mr. ~~lonroe
stipulated that the intent of tl~e uses was :o provide li~ht in~ustrtal on the praperty tn
conJunction with CL uses which were permitted by right; and that he did nat )ntend to have
bakery sales from the subJect locati~n to other distr(butors~ or to have wholesale of
printed stock (i.e.~ letterhead).

dirCy except when tl~e Zonlnc~ Enforcement Officer enforc.ed It; that the bar- customers who
parked in the lot backed into his garage and had hit tiis vehicle several tlmes; that the
customers of the bar raced their vehicles up and down the alley; that the facility did not
have enough ~arking space since only 17 spaces existed for use by three buildings; tnat
the barber had moved 'oecause there was not eno~gh parking far his customers; that the
neic~hborhood was bein~ degraded dally by the bar establishment which was simllar to a
rastaurant with respect to the nPed for park(ng spaces sinc~ tlie customers stayed for long
periods of time; that the City had lost a gpod business when the barber mave~' out; and
that his grandchild had observed some of the indecent exposure from th~ men customers of
the bar.
(n rebuttal~ Ms. Hillman stated she had dlscussed the parking problems with the baker next

In rehuttal, Mr, Cameron statcd that he felt the purpose of the v~rlance process was to
(nterpret an ~pplic~tion on a glven property; tliat it would be difflcult to establish a
formula whlch applied to eve ry piece of land in the City; and that the subJect property
had a har~ishlp in that ~ipproximately three-fourths of the v~~luable frontage was taken by
C~'~e StAt~=~ anci the Zoning f,ode r~^quired that thc sl~e of ~igns be determinEd by rrontage
fect.
THE PUBLIC FIF.ARINr, WAS cLOSE~,
Commissioner Tolar not~:d tftat althuuc~h he could sympathize with the petitloner, the
probiems of the site were evident to ail parties concerned prlor to constructlon of th~e
use, since the State }ie~l alraacly ti~:~n the frnnr,c~e at the tlmc the use wLS proposed; anJ
that origtnally it wa, Indlcated that no varlance for sioning would be needeci and the
petittc,ner knew ancl understood the problem at that time.
Mr. Cameron thsn stated that a sign was indicate.d on the approvecf plans for the use.
Thereupori~ Deputy City Attorney Frank i.owry advised that Che plans indicated a sign
lncation with no size or I~eigf~t detail and~ und~~r the thaory of that ap~roach, the
Planninq Commtssion could conceivably approve a l-square foo+_ sign at ground level.
In response to questinning by Chairm~n Pro Tempore Herbst. Mr. Cameron stated thr_;~ had
utilized cranes in zheir determinatlon tf~at a 7Q-foot high sign was needFd to be visible
~nd readable from the frPeway.
Commissloner Tolar noted that the proposed signing might be visible !nside the stadium~
and that the proposal would probably not enhance the stacfium. Mr. i.owry adviseci that the
proposal had not been cleared b•~ the stadiuM director, Mr. Tom Liegler.
Conmissioner Johnson noted tlia[, althou.~l~ the sub}ect properc/ was 11 acres of land, he
would favor scaling the proposed signing down. Mr. Cameron then stated thet a smaller
sign would not be readaF,le by tt~e tr~ffic gotng by and that the proposed signing was the
smallest sign they could have to be readable from the distance desired. Mr. Cameron then
requested approval of the proposed silning~ sub~ect to the approval of the stadium
director for locatton of said signing.
Chalrman P-•o 7empore Herbst noted ti~at, althougn the subject propPrty a~as entitlecf to some
recognition. ne wa~ opposed to the si~e of the ~ign since the use being advertisecf was not
considered a service to the motorii7c~ public, per se; and that if tt~e proposal was granted~
a precedent would be set for 51n-ilar reyuests ln the future.
A representative for the sign company appeared before the Planning Commission in behalf of
the proposal an~f stated that many size letters had been tried in making the determinatfon
for the size of the sign; that the letters proposed were readable from a distance o~ 400
feet and any smaller letters wo+~1d look llke a postage stamp~especially to the traffic
going nurth on the freeway; and that the s3gn would not look huge from the ground.
Commisstoners Johnsc+n and Herbst noted that they did not favor approval of a variance for
the size of the sign at the subJect Iccation,
Chairman Pr~ Tempore ii~rbst ;,oted that approvai by CalTrans mlght also be requlred for the
proposed signing.

Mr, Merrlll Butler, representinc~ the developer~ appeared before the Plannir~~ Commission
ar~d stated they were present'inn~ 1n their cpinian, a car~fully th~u~ht-out and considered
land and archit~ctural proc~ram representinc~ ;he best in land use and product; that they
were no loneer interestecl (n developing the previously approved 219-unit proJect on the
propert~~~ ancl had given some consideratirn. for 72~~-~quare foot development~ however~
t~king a' Factors into consideration~ tfiey had created the proposed RS-5000 subdivision
for which there would be no varianc~s; that tf~e propo~ed lots averaneci 68Q~ square feet,
rather than 7200 square Peet~ and met the m(nimum standar~is of the RS-S~OQ Zo~ie; that a
maJor stor~n drain was situated along the s~uth si~.fe of the SubJect ~rope~ty~ and the
property was irregularly-shaped; that the pro~osed homes would be In a price range
comparabl~ to th~ existing h~mes on the west side of Hnaheim Hills Road~ or d~~
~pproxirnately $7~,~~0 valuation; that t.~e actu~l price range would be betvraen $62,Ob0 and
$'J?.~0~~; that they were proaosinc~ to extend the exdstinc~ berm alon~ Anaheim Hills Road and
they would probably increase the height of sa(d berr,~ for sound-attenuat(on purposes to an
average height of 6 feet; and th~7t the pr~posed plan had been approved by Anaheim Nills~
Inc.~ subJect to the extension of the berm, as inclt~ated on the clrawings, ~nd also subJect
to a malntenance easement which would eventu~l~y be glven to the homeowners association.

In response~ P1r. Butler s:ated the landscaped area aion~ AnahEim liills Road would be s~l~l

Mrs. Dinnclorf continue~l by statin~ they di:f not like the layout cf the proJect and thie
land use was not the hic~hest and best usage of Lhe property; and that the proposal was not

Mr. TaY1or Grant, 1752 Lanqley, Irvine, representin~ Grant Warmin~ton Bu(iders~ appPared

th.~t rnther th.~n vl~uillzing the suc~~ested yG ta 57'~ot development ~s a lass of lots~ the

that Anahe(rn Hills w~s the prlme ;esidenlial area of the City anri thc sub,Ject site
requtred a mtnlm~~m of c~r~diny for its development.
In response to questioninct by Commissloner Kinci, Mr. Butler st~~teci he d irl not feel that
reduclnc~ the number of lots would bc fatal to developrnent of the tract; hrn~ever, he felt
that someune h~cl to stnn~i up for the future homeowners; thaC the proposed lots were
approximately h4~ square feet shc~rt ~f the RS-72~~ standards~ ~nrl by Increasinn the size
of Che l~ts~ the homeowncrS wauld pay $6~~~Q to $1Q~0~10 more for the homes; that he,

Commfssioner 7olar nc+ced that~ from his r_xperienc.e in the real estate business, one of the
market conc.liti~ns prefc:rre~i in Anahelm Hills was the relat(vity to open space; that he
a~reed with the opposition, that less density with mor apen space was desirable in the
subJect area an~l~ in his opinlon, the rnarkettng would probably he e~sier and quicker; that
thc Plannin~ Commission had not approved the prNVlously pr~posed proJeet for higher
dansity on tl,e subject property~ aut approval was obtained from the City Counctl, howrve~~
that proJect was a different Iifestyle than single-family homes; and tF~at the developer
should consider 72~~-square foot lots, or larger,
Commissioner Johrison noted th~t, due to the berm conditions, some of tt~e proposed lots
would Just barely meet the RS-500~ standarcl5; that he could not support less tha~ 720Q-
square foot lots at the subJect location; that his r~view of the subject area indicated
tliat the pr ,~osed su~division would have the cheapest tiomes and, ~.~ a small-lot concept
was desired, then a condominium project would be more appropriate,
Mr. Butler _hPn stated that the proposed houses would have up to 23~~ square feet of floor

In response to questioning by the Plannir.c~ Commission, Office En~ineer Jay Titus advised
