worked wtth the developer for nearly iwr, years and unlike most sltuattons wherc the
Planning Commission is the primary body dealing wlth the developer~ in this case the
Agenry is the ewner and has a contract for developmQnt and as part of the contract they

landacapiny all around the corn~r~ wtth the exception of the proposed drivewey~ ond f1r.
Gaon stated thcy would luse a row of cars becausc they would lose some of the back-up
ctrculeti~n space and tl~en it would not be profitable for them to use the praperty for the
bustncss they have In mind.
Cl~a(rman 1lerbst suygested land5capiny the area alon~ t~~e westerly side~ and also thnrc

Commissiuner Tolar stated he fel[ tf~e propercy has nut been developed with anything nicer
because the owner has nc>t been willfn,y ;o ncyotiatc witti a~y potential lessee, and is
satisfled to let the propcrty stt until r,o~~xone c:omes along who is wliling to spend the
money to make tl~e (mprovements, HC state~J the Commtssl+~n hes not al!c~wed any scrvice
station convprs(ons with~ut the pro{~er I,~ndscai~Ing~ and h~ was concerned that a precedent
would te sec if dpproval is granteJ. Ne also fr.lt thls would bp a permanent usc and the
land woul~i not be used at Its P~ighc;st and best use. Ne felt the owner shuuld be wilitnq
to work with a cfeveloper to m~~ke this corner u:able on a permanent basis And not on an
intertm basis.

motorhomes at this site. Mr~ Gacx~ replir.d It woulA not be ecanomicaliy feasible to allow
motorhomes because they woulA take up too much space, and Commissionr.r aushore po(nted out
that he could charge for the num5er of speces used.
Commisstnner Johnson potnted out the property has been vacant and ts of no use to anyon~

not grenting the use woulci bn a benefit to A~aheim. Ne stated the request for o used car

Cha(rman Nerbst stated he felt the property in its present conditl~n (s A downgrade tn the
nelyhbo fioad and he could not see eny relief In the near future because this erea Is not
in the redevelopment erea. He felt Allowtng this use for e six--n~nth period with opttons
fo~ renewal would gtve the Cornmtssion cont~al of the property. Ne stated he would nat
suppart the use unless 3 or ~- fcet of landscaping is p~ovided and unless thc permlt is
granted for a short perlod of time ln order for che Commission to revtew the use to
determine whether o~ not (t has been compattblr with the area.
Cc~mmtssloner Toler stateJ th~ City has only two Zoning Enfarcemrnt Offtcers and he f~lt tt

the stt~ulatlons he has madc rcyarding removal ~f the vchicles and he wlll h~ndl~ the

a business and his remarks are net dtrectc~~ to him, but to the Ir-nd use, ond he did not
feei thls would be a good use of this property.
Commisslaner Bushore stated he lookcu at the remsininy yas tanks as a Potentially
dangerous situation and a;wcd why thcry havc bcen allawecf t~ rcmaln, He felt there must be
some ordinances w'th the fire codes to pratect cit(zens from fumes building up and caus°ng
an exploslon. He s[ated abancloned servtce stetio~s have been a concern for a lonq time
and he is disturbcd that this use could be granted without ~emovlnq the tanks.
Robcrt Hen~~inycr. Assistant Planncr~ statpd the ~ir.r, htarshal has inspected the tanks and
fcels it would be accrsptabic to lcave them in far another year and then have them removed.
He stated servlce statlons were olla-~ed in sorne nf the cortmercial zones in the past as a

with a provision which says if a service station lies idle far one year~ then it has to be

for servlce statlon conversir~ns~ and Comm(~sio~er Johnson felt requiring the landscaping
and requtrlnc~ that thc butlding be brought up to commercial codes would be a.,compllshin~
that yoal.
Commissloner Tolar did n~t think simply painting a Fu(ldir;y is brlnqlnc~ it up to sta~dards

C~mmissioner Johnson repl(cd the sprlnklers would be a ~a~t of his motion for approval
oecause they would be necezsary in order to maintatn the landscaping.

the city and An.3heim Hllls area has bcen gencral planned with streeis s hown in general
locatfor ~ and I~c felt this is no different. H%• stated at the presenc t imc M~s. Maag has
no acce° s onto Via Cortet and we kn~w that her prnperty wi 1 I I~P.VCIUG some day and the
road wil[ not be bullt or w(den~d until she doe.s dc~~~•lop her pr~p~rty and ,he will have
the f lex i bi 1 i ty in dcvelapment of her property because she wi I I know the road is there.
He stat.ed [he traffic being 9enerated at this intersec[i~n is hcavy ancl t.here is ~
definite ne~d to irnprove it and it is bad because Vi~ Cortez is n.~rrow and the shopping
center is doing rnore business~ th,~~~ ~~nticipated. Ne siated he did not think Mrs. Ma~'~g's
property is yc,inc~ tn be atfected by this general plan amen~.i~nent unt i 1 shr. is ready to
develop it. Ne stated She doe5n't have acces5 tc~ Via Cortez btcau5e Rinker c~wns a I-foat
strip~ but this a~i I I givc her access and she wi 1 I have to have roads no n~atter what is
develap~d in order to scrvice the prapert.y.
Commissioner Johnson stated hr_ is ,~ware of the situationand the: background, bul did not
sec why the ycnera) plan should be amrnded ~it. this timc rather than when Mrs . Maay is
ready to develop her ~,rc~pcrty, unless thc-c i~~ an ultr_rior rtx~tivc.
Ch~irrnan Hcrbst stated Mrs. M,~ag's p~oprr[y i5 not the only property affPCted hy this

develop.
Commissioner Johnson stated if -~meone wantti anothrr pel'SOn~S property for a road, they
should g~ and buy it and he d~~ not think the f,ity should be privy to somcc~~e getting
someone else~~ pr-operty,
~hai rman Herbst stated th i~, i s n~~t ~a condc•mn~~t i[~n of Mrs. M,7ag's prope rt.y; that thi s i s
just a 1 ine ~n the General Pl~~n ~,,,; in, this property is des~gna~ed for that purpose
and un [ i 1 s he i s ready tu de ve I op h,~ r p rope r ty i t ~n' t happen .
Commissioner Bushc~re staced he wc,uld .~yree wi[h Commissioncr John~on and whi Ic he couid
see whcre some[hing nced~~ to bc dc,ne, he could also sec ~here this .~:outd benofit others
and poss ibiy Mrs. Maag, but it cc~uld al~~.o be harmful to her and ~t was hls desire ta
pr~tect her propErtv rights.
Chai r•man Pro Tem~nr~ Barnes stated i f the ge~er.~l plan amendment is approved, it wi I 1
provide better c i rcul~~tion for thosP oeoplr usinq the Rinker develupment and i t wi 1 i
open other land fur develnpment ar~d it will be saying to Mrs. Maag t.hat she doesn't have
ta buy tt~at 1-foot strip of property anA she will haue more aiternatives for circulation
on her own proper[y and that ehe two-acre par~el wi I 1 bc adjacen[ to commerc ~ il p~operty
making i t valuable and she did not see how it would harm Mrs. Ma~~ in anyway, particularly
since the Deimer Intertie easemPnt will be on her proper?y and she can't bui ld on it
anyway. Sh~ stat~d she would vote in favor• of this request.
Commissioncr Johnson asked for clarificatio~~ regarding the one-foot strlp being refer~ed
ta and Gl~ai rman Herbst exp:ained when the road was constructed, Mr. Ri nker and Mrs. Maag
did not agree a~d she dld not pay h~r share af the widening cost5 and he withheld that
I-foot s trip and she wili h~ve to pay her share v+hen she develr ~s at a later date. Ne

Mrs. Maay stated her concern is for the two acres which is now overqr~~wr~ with wecds and
the kids use it for smokinq pot, an d Ghairman Flerbst pointrd out if Vin Cortez qoes ihrough
Mrs. Maag wauld have fr~ntayc: on bo t h sidcs and Mrs. Maaq sta~ed she could noi cro5s the
MWD property with heavy equipmrnt.
C~mmissioner Jahnson asked why the line on the General Plan could not follow the outlines
~f her ~ropr.rty rather than cutting of' thc two acrr.s and Art Daw, Civil Enyincer, stated
the staff is saying with this ~mend{ t~nt that there is 9oing t~~ t~c: ~ti ser.ondary highway
essentially from Santa Ana C~nyon Road t~ the RiverSidc ~reew~y and in n~ way is attemping

Element depicts a secordary highwa y and a development. plans com~es in, ihere is no w ay
to require dedication to a secanda ry standard.
Camnissioner Bushare felt since M r s. Maag doe5n't know what is ooing to happcn to her

relocate if the S~~eet is widened. He stated the waY the buildinq is constructed with
easements on the sides, that most of these lar~e trucks would not be ~b1e to get in back
of the builcfing. He did not fcel the strect should be widened because it would cause more
