Mr. Paul Sinkovit~~ Space IJu, 1?7, Riviera Mohilahomc Park, appearecl before the Planning
Commisston in oppositlon an~J tnok exception to tlie proposal to open the gate on Haster
Street for access. statinc; that it would create a trafflc ha~ard and he especlally did not
1(ke the idea because hts mobilehcxne was situated ri~ht next t~ the gate and he would be
subJected to noise ancl fumes fr~m the tr.~fftc; an~i that if the re.creational vehlcle park
could not be constructed orithout openin~ the entr~nce on Hast~r Street~ he was very much
opposed to the proposal.
In resp~nse to questioning by Chairm~n Farano~ Zan'ng Supervisor Annfk:~ Santalahti advised
that the rtx~bilehome park was recommended to have ta~c exiCS and the gate an flaster Street
was normally a crash or en~r~ency-type gate. Mr. W~m g stated that durin~ the constr~uct(on
period they were prop~sing ~ temporary entrance on Naster Street; and that as soon as the
entran~e on Clementine Street was c~nF~letPd, they would use the I~aster Street access `or
exit only.
Chalrman Farano then noted his apprehensions about the proposal !n relationship to whether
it Was a healthy mix for the permanent resic~ents of the mobilehome park. He questioned
whether the petitioner would stipulate t~ closinn said gate on fldster Street, except for
emergency use, upon completion of the entrance on Clementine Street. Mr. Wong stated that
~s soon as any portion of the Clementine Street entrance was reaciy~ they would use it.
Commissloner Tolar noted that ~ time certain f~r the closure of the gate t~~ Hast,r Street
was essentiil. Mr. Wong indicateri that the c~nstriiction period should bP n~ more than 90
days; ~nd he st;pulate~ to clnsing the ~nte to Haster Street by the end of that time.
Mr. Sinkovitz stateci that tlie reside~ts in the mnbilehome park hacl recelved a letter from
:he petitioner concerninq the ~roFosal~ which dlffered from the prESent~tfon to the
PiAnninq Commission; and he offered t~ reid sa1~1 letter to the Commission.
~~ _f..__., e...,..~ „r,r~~1 that ~ursuant t~ thc forectoing stipulation hy Mr. Wong~ the gatc on
Haster~Street woul~i be used only Cemporari iy; W~~~~~..,.:.', "!'. ci~knvitz stated he would e~o
alonn wtth the propnRal t~ use the Haster Street nate for an entr~nce t~ the mobilehome

Mr. Ervin G. Cook, 72~+ South Plne Stre.et, -~naheim~ the agent for the petitioner, appearecl
before the Planning Commission and stated that they had ju~t recently purchasecl the
subJect property; that the proposal was~ in their oplnion, the highest ancl bes~ use of the
property; that, in effect, the sub,ject area along Harbor Boulevard was a11 commerc(al and
thc proposed use was the best interim use of the property; and xhat the requestecl waiver
was to allew the c~ntinued use of the second flaor of the gara~e structure for apartments.
TNF PU9LIC HEARIPlG WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Tolar noted tliat he had been concerned about the pr~posed dual usage of the
subject property and h~ needed t~ be informed of the hardships invol`:d.
Mr. Cook explained that the pr~perty was developed with two separate buiidinys, one of
whtch fronte~ ~n Narbor Boulevard and woulci be used entirely f~r commercial; and thar, thP
oYher buil~iinn, a garage wicn aF~n~ ~~~ti~~~~~~ :~_ eprnnd floor~ was crmpletely separate and

Commissl~~ner King Inqu(red if Mr. Cook waulcl sclpulate t~~ ~ two-ya~~r time llmitatlon fnr

Inqulrnd if the ro~ms nhove the narane c~uld be ~itlllze~l f~r offtces, and Mr, Cook replled
t.hat if he w~s f~rced to use that space for other than the prop~sal, it would definitely
n~t be the b~s~ use,
Chalrm~n Farano noted Y,hat interim uses had Ueen approved In the p~st and, although h~
would agrne to c'ie proposal on a two-year basis~ he would not be interesteci in approving
anything beyoncl tliat pcrlod~ since it was a du~il use of the prop~rty.
Commtssioner Tolar noted that he was opposecl to granting the proposal~ even on ~ two-year
b~sls~ slnce tt would set a preceJent for dual zoning; that allowing the frontage on the
boulnvarcl to become commerc!al and allowinr~ the hack to 1,;: rented out as resident(a;~
would be vtnlAting the trust of the other prop~rky owners in the Clty; and~ therefore~ hs
opposed the proposal under any condltfon or time perfod. Ne f~,rther noted thaC on Romneya
Drlve~ the Pl~nning Commtsslon had voted to dlaallow a requesC for two uses on a prope~~ty
and~ as a result, a lady tenant was dented the u4e of an apartmPnt~ which had to be
reconverted to part of the mr+in sin9le-family rzsidonce.
Mr. Cook relterated thar. thc sub)ect structures were existing.
Cammtssi~ner Herbst noted that the property cc~uld remain~ as is. for resicienti~l use; but
if the petttloner fntencfecl to finaltze the tntent f~r CO zonin~, the two uses could not be
permltted.
Mr. Cook inqulred if the property could be split. The Planning Commission ~nswered in the
negative.
In response to questtoning by the ?lanning Commission, As~15t~nt Planner Joel Fick advised
that ff the entlre str~~ctur~ in which the apartment units were located was to be used for
car~imerctal offices at some future time~ a waiver of the parking spa~:~ requirem~nts would
probably be nee~ied.
Commissioner Tolar offered a motion, sec~nded by Commissloner King and MOTI(1~~ CARRIED

CommisslonGr Tolar nntr.d that he 1 iked the concept bein~ ~resented, however~ he felt the
developer was tryinn t~ ~et t~o much out of the sub,ject property anci sorr~ real problerns
w~uld be crcate~i; that ~lthouqh the density was less tha~ ortginally approvecl for tFi~

si~x~ller; that the traffic problems w~~uld carry to Magnolia Avenue also, the entrance and
exit to th~ property; an~i that~ !n his opinion , the rolled curhs rrere a negattve aspect.
In respon~e~ Mr. Severson stite~ they were propo~lnq t~ meet the parkinc~ standards for
in~iustrl~l ~evel ,pment; that there were four or five other plans wliicli they could develop
on the prope~'ty ~.ith mnre density than proposed, wi thout a zoning action being r~quired;

develop the ~roperty in som~ w~y but would try to d~velop It t~ the hlghest and best use,
Commissioner Tolar then indicated that the Planning Commission was not t~ be concerned
wi th economi cs; th~t t f there were other pl ans ava i;ab le wl~ i ch we,'e economl ca 1 ly as good
ar better than the one propo~ed~ he felt Dunn Properties would bc trying to sell those

Anahelm.

they hacl cleared the propo~al through the Anaheim Stadium Director's Oftice~ anci a copy of

Oranc~e Fr~ew~ry.
Cfi~irman Farano then noted that the purpose of the sic~n should be k~ pull c,~stomers frum
Kntol la Avenue ancl not i rc~m the frerway; and that he was ilrnost ~onv(nced that a newspa~er

on hls own by clioosinn the subject property for Che subJect ~~sc, any harclship being offset
by the prTce pald for the land; ancl that he was oppased to the sub_ject Cype sir~n being
nlong the freeway.
Mr, Cameron then stated that the subJect ~.roperty was very flat and had a hardship being
seen. Chatrman Farano then noted that he was of the or~inlon thal thc "mllk of human

Commissi~ner ~:tn~ Inqulred how much xhe subJect business would be impr~ved (f the bi_a,ger

also be readable frnr r.he freeway.
Mr, Gus Bade~ an Interested cit(zen, appe~red before the Pianni~g Commtssion ancl inquir~d
whether it ~~~ s a requlrement that th~ ~uoJect site be boarded up so that no one coul~l see

The Plann ing Commissi~ners reviewed r.he ~vording on the proposed siyn which read "Mal ibu

along the freewa, .
It was noted Chat the Director of the °lannlnc~ Department had determined that the prop:

Commissioner Tolar reques[e~l the petiti~ner to ~ddress thc traffit {~roblems su~gested by
the '~r,ffic Engineer. Mr, 1lartin stated lhey ha~' worked ~ h Clty st~iff and thc sutmttted
plans indicated~ in the developer's opin(on~ the best suh visio~ that they could
construct within economic consideration~ 91ven s~me priorlty In the ~~esi~in; th~t any
exten~ion of Noht Ranch Road would have s~^~e substantlal effects on thr. views; that che
school district h~d adv(sed the developers that they I~ac1 not ye*_ pla^~e~l the schoo) site
to the west; an~i that the achool site property dropped away suhstantially and although ch~
school distr(ct dici not ask for the street~ they haci not ohJected to It.
Traffic En~ineer Paul S(n~er advlsed that the proposal was to deacl e~~l the arterial
street~ t~ohl Ranch ,'tuad, at Serr~no Avenue and if a schoo) was developed to the wes~, all
loadln~ ~nd un?oa~lin~~ of children would hav~ tu be dnne fror~ Serrano rathcr th~~n a
residentlal strcet, and scho~ls historically had traffic problems; that tlie traffic from
Che commercial property 'irectly to the north mlght very well conflict ~oith the propasecl
traft`ic pattern anci be restricted to a sin~le access; and that the intersect(on of Serrano
tive~ue arci IJohl Ranch Road woulci hs a m~Jor interSection requir(n~ sicinalization. F1r.
Sinner further ~dvise~l th7t Nohl Ranch Road could turn into a c~llector Street~ rather
than Serrano Avenuc.
P1r. ~tartin stited tha: the elevati~n of the school site was irtmedl~i~r,ly approxiriately 3Q
feet lower thin the sub)ect property; that although the property to chz wes*_ w~,
desi~nateci as a potent3al scho~l site~ it had not yet been purchase~i by the school
distrtct; that beinn required tn construct an extension ~f Nohl ~anch Road arould be a
considerable hardsh?p for t~e petitinner; and he sugaested that as a stree~ it only
function as a~~nl•de-sac about 3~~'1 feet long.
Mr. Sin~er advisecl that the TrafFic Divisi~n visualized the extension of P:ohl Raneh Road
as a local si~ie street to filter trarfic onto Nohl Ranch P.oad :~ncl Serrano~ with the
exerc(se of yood traffic control at the intersection; that if the ac~_i„cent property to the
west was developed a~tth a schc~ ' in thP future. the Citv would prefer •ha[ loadin~ ani
unloadtnc~ take place from a side sCreet rather tl~an the m~Jor street~ S~rrano Avenue, and
that the m~tn reasnn for ~he residential s*_reet (n connection witti t e school was due to
the commercial devel~pment t~ the . rth and the further ramifications thereof.

d~velopMent from t'ie existing residences~ he felt there was ample buffering.
In respons~ t~ queStlonin~ by Commi~~ioner I~erbst, Mr. Phelps skated tl~at more than en~ugh
trash areas were prop~sed and the turn-around are~s for the cnllection vef~icles were more
than acceptable tn th. Sanitatiun 6lvision. Comrnissioner Nerbst took exception to the
Zocatton of the trash area being against the west property iine~ and fiirther noted that no

Commtssioner Herbst n~ted that he would be unable to vote In favar of the proposal~ as
submltted, since in t!ie past the Pianrifng Commission had demanded that other apartment
developrr~nts prntect the slnqle-family hories which r~butted them, in respon~c, Mr. Phelps
stated he atsa felt that parking was a priority item; whereupon~ Chairman Farano noted
that one c~uld not be substituted for the nther,
Mr. Phel~s then stipulated t~ deletin~ the extra trash storage are~ an~1 pr~vicling a 10-
feot landscape~i buffer strlp along the south .~nd west property lines to buffer all of the
single-famlly liom~s; an~i that they would also comply with the parkir~n space requirements

Dear Planning Commissioners:
SUBJECT: Waterctate Motel Request to Show X-Rated Movies
Disneyland is unalterably opposed to the granting of this Conditional
Use Permit. A survey of the area surround(~g the Motel wtll shaw thiat
it is surrounded by fami~y ortented recreation *ype faciltties~ such
as Disneyland~ Anaheim Conver~tion C~i~tr.r, Bowling Alleys~ the Disneyland
H:~t~l Marina, Angel BasPball Stadium and Kampgrounds of America. Great
numbers of people are attracted to Anaheim b~cause of this family
oriented raputation.
To allow X-Ratad flims tn this area In the mldst of the c:ity of Anahetm
waul~± be a direct controdiction to ths reputatton that ~~e have for clean
~.,holesome entertainment and would not be consistent ~~ith the ent~rtain-
ment thae people come to expect when they arrlve in Anrhelm.
