Jamas Needhem~ 9492 Sandra Circle~ Vills Park~ ownar~ explained he would llke to have
subJect property ~eclasstfied to RM-24a0; that the property was originally
tentattvely planned for reclasslficetior~ several years ego o~ the Anahetm Generai
Pian; thet the property next doo~ was recently developed as multtpl~s-family
residential; and that ail the property in that generel area of East Street~ North
Street and La Pa1ma Avenue should be reciasstfled. He sksted this proposnd proJect
meeta a11 the setback and zoning requlren-ents of the RM-2400 Zone.
Judy Backlund~ 1015 East North Streat, stated she is speaking for hersalf and her
nelqhDors~ Mrs. Gelker and Mrs. Becerra and they are opposed to this change and feet
lf it is approved. It wtli just be a matter of ttme before o~her simila~ requests are
made and that would resutt tn some of the best hon~es In the area being remaved. She
stated they did not oppose the spartment complex on the cor~er because that property
hsd always bacn a problem ~nd they felt anything would be an (mprovement based on the
informatton they had obt~ined from the Plsnning Departrnent~ but if they had knawn
thGre would be four doubte garages right on the curb~ they would have opposed that
p~oJect becaust It Is unsightly. She stated they feel tf thts proJect is approved~
there wtll be twelve more perking spaces at the front of the p~opcrty and tt will
look ltke an alley. She stated thia ls a busy co rner as far as trafftc ls concerned
aspecially wtth ehe 7- 11 Store which genaracea a lot of traf~ic snd also large
tr~::ks do pa~k on thei~ street and it ts qulte ~-nisy and thls apartment proJect would
mean more traffic. She atoted they do noi feel this area ahouid be developed
piecemaal and tf the time comes whan it should be devetoped with apartments~ it
should be done an a larger scale with the trsfftc prope~ly handled. She stated she
has ltved there 30 years and dass not want to see any niore apa~tments developed in
the a~ea.

Lea Nsrnandaz stated he (s speaking for hia mother who ilvas at 15:1 North Bush and he
sgraes wtth Ms. Backlund'a sonments. He stated his mother was to~ced to mova from
her home on Claudina to thla property on 9ush Street and that she ta on a ftxed
Income a~d theae changes do creete problems fo~ her. Ne stated not eve~yone wa•
properly tnforms~! of this heartng end he felt before any declalon is mede~ the rest
of the anee should be properly Informed.
Chslrman Tolar informed Mr. Hernandez that the City is required to notify the publlc
of these heerings by two of lhree mnthods: edverttsments (n the newspaper~ posting
the prope~ty and notifytng p~operty awncrs by rt-eli within ;~0 feet nf the subJect
property. Ne conti~ued that the Ctty of Anahelm com~~lies w(th all th~~ee of these
methods of notiflcatlon and that everyone has been properly informed.
Claudtne Lassley stated she awns the propery dtrectly behtnd subJect property end she
would not Iike to seo this epproved because of her privacy in the beckyard snd
bacause the apertr.~ents In the araa do have quite a few police problems and any
~ddttlona) apartments cnuld cre~te moro of the sart~ problems. She agreed there is a
treffic problem on North Street and large tru~ks do park there.
James Cowce~ 719 North East Street~ stated he has lived tn the netghborhood for over
30 years and that t~e can appreciate the opposition's concern~ but it seems they are
bucking a trend which began several years ago and he wauld iike to see ~n even
greater dcnstty change to even double the ta unlts per ecre and aliawing two-sto ry
apartments because~ from a selftsh standpoint, h~ would get top dollar for his
property. He stated this would also be true for the other properties In the area.
He steted it seems to him that thls change will beneflt the city with greater tax
dollars from the use of the ~ropcrty~ plus the fact that the greete~ density wtll
benefit peopic who a~e looking fnr housing.
Mr. Needham stated in response to Ms. aacklund's conments~ the property is only gotng
to be upgradad; that he just recentiy ck veloped the corner lot end the projr~t wi11
look a lot better in a couple of weeks when the landscaping has bee~ completed. He
stated those are qualtty units and will house quality tena~ts. Ne stated the
investment in the property wtll assure tha opposition these properties will be
upgraded. Ne atated the parktng at subJect property is not on the street and will
a11 be concealed by landscaptng and fenctng; that there is a 42•inch high maso~ry
wall in fron! of the parking area plus heavy landscaping, He stated with the cost of
constructioa and the cost of proparty~ the Qpposttion can be assured that the
property awne~s wtll be extra careful to have qualtty tenants which Nill upgrade this
propGrty and the genera) nelghborhood.
TlIE PUBL IC NEARI NG WAS CLOSED.
Cortmissioner Barnes stated she thinks this is a good proJect but she does have e
concern regarding the masonry wall ecross the front and Mr. Needham explained the
wall wili be a 42-inch high sand colored masonry block wall. Conmissior~r Barnes
stated she would 1(ke to see a decorattve masonry wali instead of Just plain concrete
block.

M~. Ne~dtiam stated he would have no problem wiLh providi~g the decorative block wsll~
but that the lAndsceptng wilt hide it wtthtn a short pe~iod of tlme.
Commisslonar Bushore asked Mr. Needham if he has cb vetoped any other p~oJects In this
City~ wlth Nr. Naedham explalning he had developed the p~operty next door end also
another prope~ty at 880 So uth Claudina.
Commtssioner Bushore asked (f the exterlor of this proJect will be the same as the
proJect next daor and Mr. Needham replied It will be bastcally the same with stucco
end wood itntsh.
Chelrman Toier stated there was a Gene~al Plan study an East 5treet some years sgo
and he was opposed to beginning of development of multiple-famtly units whlch would
enc~oach Into that residential area; anci that recent studles shaved ell of Esat
Streot on the west side should be rezoned because of the traffic~ etc. He st+~ted his
concer~ Is that ~aw this Is not on East Street~ but the ft~st lot north end south on
North Street; that he agrees housin9 is needed end six units would certeinly help
that altuatlon but in looking at thc two ed)oining lots and the lot across the street
on the north sidc of Narth Street behind the market, the questio~ comes to his mind
where this rezoning should be stoppQd. Ne stated In 1976 th~e Commia~ton opposed a
change on East Streot; Rnd that he supported tMe proJect on the corner because he
thought it was needed but naw thls Is encroa~hing into a restdential a~ea and there
ere two more locs on thc west side end also lots across the street whtch wtll
obviously be dcveloped tn the same way; and it is already recognized the~e is a
traffic problam getting out onto East Sti'eet.
Commissloner Ktng Asked why development shculd be stapped and Chairman Tolar stated
it should be stoppad because people heve boeqht homes tn a singta-famtly area and
expected to malntain them as residenttal homes and once epartments are allowed to
abut s(nglc+-family homes. there will be mo~e nolse, more people a~d nare trafftc and
the peopie deserve the Commission's protectlon for their st~gle-fsmtly hc~mes.
Commissioner Kin~ stated the Commlsslon keeps talking about increases In traffic~ but
if Anaheim is to grow and prosper, obviously there will be an I~crease in traffic.
Commisstoner eushore stated he feeis traffic is why some proJects should be
disapproved. He stated t-ie record w(11 shcw that he voted against the project on the
cornBr or(ginally~ aithough he felt East Street was ready for reciassificatlon
because he dId not think it shouid ba voted upon until some publtc hearings were ~eld
and thoso hearinys have been held a~d the people have clearly spok~n that they do not
war~ t the rezon i ng.
Commissione~ 8usho~e stat~d he was disturbed when he learned thet thts developer had
built the p~oJect an the corner called "B~sic Shelters" because they laok very basic;
that he is in favor of providing housing but was bothered by the type of units on the
corner a~nd tha type of units these will be because they are not the type of units he
would want to see En that area and he thought that type proJect will do more harm to
the araa. He stated he feels thts is where the Cammtssion needs to set a precedant
to turn the area around posltively. Na stated th~re a~e some problems in the a~ea

Corvnissloner Harbst stated tn 1967 the General Plan dasignated the sre~ on Eaat

designatad as medium density~ noting the ftrst Gensral P1on hwendm~nt on E~st Street
r• as I n 19b 7.
Daan Sheror, Assistant Plan~er~ stated Ganerel Plen Mrendment No. 90 adopted tn 1967
anly daslgnated the west side of East Street up to North Stre~t for medlum denstty
~estdc+ntial but did not include tl~oso lots on tdo~th S+creet.
Cartrnissione~ Nerbst potnted out the steff report states the G~nera' Plen destgnatet
the propcrty es medlum denstty resicfential land uses. Mr. Sh~re~ replted ataff makes
es~ evaluatian on borderline properties where the Genera) Plan shows stngie-family
inn~dlately adjecent to n-edtum donstty residentlal and ih~: Ger-eral Plan edoptlan
could go either wey and stated this property Is right et th~ bou~dary.
Commisa(oner Nerbst stated the only problem he has Is that so~.~e of the other l~ts c,n
North Street are of similar sizc end shape; and ~11 the lots on North Street werr~~~e
acre and had ora~yc g~oves. He atated he 1 t~red in that ~~ree and ~•alkod on tl~e b~ck
of those lots and he docs not thlnk the lots could he devclop~d into anything but
multiple-f~mily res(Aential l,eceusa of the sixe~ but wa~n't sure whethe~ or not 6
units on ona lot w~uld be fea~ible. but polnt~d out 7 unlts have been approved an ~.s
Palma. Ne stated thtre is a auestian here as ta -rhat ts the highest and b~st use of
the property and h~ recognt,.e~ th~ lots across Le Palms coul~ go elther way i~ end
when the+y are develo~cd for multlplc-family residential uses. tle st+~ted he fe~t this
ar~a is dGStlned for this type of yrawtl~ because singla-famlly hc~mes would not be
devetoped on that sixe lot. Ne steted he does not like the looks of some of the
untts that are going in, but the L~mmisslan should not get In to architectura) control
a~d should only dntermine whetf~er or not th4 property is suitabte fo~ tl~is type use
and he felt the area is rcadY for this type development.
Commissione~ Barnes egreed aince there is a reai need fo~ apartments In this area and
maktng the units ni ar would only me~n higher rent. She steted the Commission just
finished discussiny the Housing Eleirent and found out how many na~ apar;ments are
goi~g to be needed and here ~s a develope~ wtth private funds -~illtng co build them
and that this is a t~ansit3onal area and she fait this Is s good plAU• for those

persona) ~esidenc~ and this sltuation ceme u~~ when ~n Inspector dtscovared the
ground-mou~tcd dish antenna whtch was being installed. He steted the exis ting
ordinance hes to do with clessicai typg televislon or h~m radio operator poln
antennas which s~e pale-maunted st~UCtures from 20 to 40 feet htgh; that this site Is
• little over 1 ac~e in size and hes e lot of trces And they are pre=entl~r putttng in
landscspiny on the reer pa~t of the yo~d which wt il incr~e:e the amou~t of
landscaping, Ile statod they feel alnce tl~is Is not the classical type antenna which
moat ordtnsnces have been writt~n for~ that It shoulc! be Alinwed. He st+~ted they do
feel there Is probably yood roason for screentng and th~y would propose to provlde sn
opaque (weod or slump block) fence in lleu of the exlsttn~ Iron fence.
Joan Caln~ 1~+1 Cerra Yl~ta Way~ statcd she is 3peeking for herself and f~er
neighbon~ the Mendoza's at 131 Cerro Vista Way, that her property is adjacont to
subject property ~d her frant yard Is adJacent to thelr backyard and that the Streda
Place property is at a highsr clcvation ond as a result they luok up to thls
satellito antonna and can see it es they enter their driveway~ and f~om their front
yard or from the fr~nt of the house and lt looks llke a rn~a~ scope. She presented
photagrAphs of the antenna looking frwn hcr prope~ty and the street. She steted they
are concerned because tt~e rest of the nalyhborhood has compl led wi th the ordinsnce
and have inslde antennas and do get gooJ reception s~ there ls na need fo ~ sn outslde
antenna for receptton. She stated aiso cable has been latd in the area far c~bte
televis{on and therc is no necd for a satelllte antenna In order to 9et s lot of
chdnnels because soon a lot of channals wl 11 be evaE lAble. She statesd th~e ant~nna Is
very unsightly. She ltated Peralta Ilills Is part of the scenic corrtdor and mnst af
the residcnts moved there because of the beauty and the rural atmosphere and noted
th~re are no street lic,~hts, cu~bs ar siciewalks and tt seems an insult to h~ve
something Ilke this. She stated thls is an intruston of vt~ion upon the environment
not o~ly for al l of Pe~al ta N) l ls but on them personal ly bPcauae they l t v~e ne~t door.

and therc mlght be other peoplt who went tu do tho s~me thing end it wAUt d ~uin the
whole atmcsphere and enviro~ment of Peralta Nills.
Richard McKenna stated he TS an employe+~ of Mr. Balley's and he did not thi~k It was
Mr. Bailey's intention to cause any unsic~tly feature in the area and that the opaque
fenc(n~ araund the area would obstruct any unsightly vlew fram any neighDor's house.
He stated Mr. Bailey did not construct the antcnna knowingly against any ordinancea
and he was sure he would be wi l l ing to comply wlth +eny reasonable request to screen
thc entanna.
Ms. Catn stated she feit a fence would make the via+ even worse bezause she hars to
