VARIANCE REQ~EST: Waiver of minimum number of parking spaces to permit a medical office
building,
There were three interested persons indicating their presence ai the public hearing
and although the staff report to the Planning Canmission dated JaRUary 11, 1982, was
not read at the public hearing, it is re~'erred to and m~de p~art of the minutes.
Mich3el t~brfl, S94W S. Avalon Boulevard, Lus Angel~s, agent~ stntcd the parking was
calculatsd o~ the net square footage of the building which excludes the hallways~
physical therapy rooms and storage roams. He explain~d this operat(on is quite a bit
different than other medical facilities v+here there ~uld be stveral doctors with a
lot af patients coming in requlring more pa~rking s~aces end this facility will have ane
doctur and the patient's appaintmcnt~ are rec~ulated because
they witl require more tlme for therapy and treatment.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CL05ED.
Mr. hbnJi reptiect to Chat~man Bushore that this will be an industrial therapy group
which will prov(d~ prirt-aril~y secondary ca~e where patients would come if they need
additional care above and beyond their initial visit; that this facility wiil have
whirlpoots, nragnithern-x~ etc. whlch takes more time. He stated they feel 20 spaces
wili be mnre than sufficient.
Commi~sioner Bouas asked how many employecs there wouid be other than the one doctor
end Mir. hbnji replied thc number :would vary and in the beginntng~ there would probebly
be 3or4.
Commissioner Herbst stated ho is bothered by this request for approva) of a medical
office building with a parking wafver and uniess it can be tied down specifically as
to tl~e ~umber of doctors and employees, he couid not vc~te fa r it because medical
facilities hava parking problems.
Mr. NonJt stated there would be no more than o~e physician and no more than iQ employaes
on duty at any one time. He responded to Commissioner Boues thdt they co41d p robably
handle 10 or ~2 patients at on~ time.

81-11
Canmissioner Herbst asked why this Is r~ request for a vAriance rather than ~! Cqnd{t~~~Al
use permit. Oesn Sherer~ Asststant Planner, r~plled the xoning on the ~roperty is
commercie) general which would by right allaw medical effice bulldings as well as
general office butldings.
Jack White, Assistant City Attorney~ stated the only thing the petttioner needs is tha
parking waiver and a conditional use permit is not required, and the difficulty In
granting a variance is that it is cast In concrete bet~use once the building is built
end this business moves ar the property Is sold, it becomes difficult to solve the
problem, He st~ted the Commissinn can t~+chnicaliy and legally limlt the varlance to
this type ope:~atfon~ but he did not think(t would bc practical because if the property
was sold, the new buyer rr~y noc be aware of the restriction~or n-ayb~ the ~eller w~uld not
realixc the extent of the operatinn.
Commissloner K(ng asked if the number of employees wAS calculated in the~ parking wAiver.
Ernest Gay, Architect, 705 W. La Vita~ Orange, explatned th~e parking calcuiations werP
b~sed on code requirements of 6 spaces per 1~000 square feet and the net cl(nic floor
area is 3~319 square feet which would require 20 spaces.
Responding to Chairman Bushore, Mr. MonJi explalned the local recovery area is wher~e
patients recover after therapy and thet the dead storage area is an unoccupled area
and that the storage area will be used to store medical ~nd office supplies.
Chairman Bushore asked why they would not war.t to be located in the industrial area.
Mr. Monji replied this is a little bit different than an industrial clinic where a
person receives inltial care afcer an accident or illness and the patients would be
referred here for secondary treatment.
Commissioner Herbst stated In 1978 when this proJect was initially proposed. there
were several publlc hearings and because the applfcant stated the use would be warehouse
facilitles with an apartment above it~ the COrt1tII55I0~ did allow a relief i~~ parking
because af the size and shape of the property~ b~t the Commission never considered
anything for medical uses and now after the bullding is canscructed, the request is for
a parking waiver. He referre~ to thc comment in the. siaff report that th~ petitioner
has indfcat~d there is surplus parking available to the northeask and the owner has
indicated a willingness to enter into a parking agreement lf needed. He stated he would
not be in favor of allowing a variance for parking ~n a medical cent~r of any Cype.
Mr, Monji stated again this is not an average medical facility and is not like a
doctor's ~ffice. Commissioner Herbst stated it could become like a regular doctor's
office b~cause the variance stays with the property.
Chairman Bushore discussed the plans and size of waiting and examina[ion rooms and
stated if this is not a regular medicai clinic~ he felt there will be a lot of employees
and a lot of patients scheduled in order for this operation to succeed.
Mr. MonJi stated most rnedical facilities ere in cramped quarters and this will be a
different approach with a patient halding area where a pa*ient would go after dress-i~;
end that if the operation is efficiently run~ a lot ~f er.iployees would not be needed.
He stated he realizes it is hard to visualize this because it is not a normal medical
facility or an initial i~dustrlal treatment area.

M~INUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, January I1~ 198z 82-12
Commissioner 8arnes stated she ~s not too concern~d abc~ut this partlcular oparatlon~
but the Commission Is concerned about the parking arrangements and she thought this
oepration probebly would not need aa many ~arking spaces, but the vartance does stay with
the ?roperty and ahe did not want this appraved as a medical office building.
Dean Sherer stated the approval can be tied down in the conditions requlring that the
property be develop~d substantially in conformAnce with the pians submitted which Indicate
thts is a three-story building with porking on th~ ground floor and generAi offices on
the third floor and the medical office uses would be limited to the socond floor.
He explained ataff can make certaln that wfiat permits would have to be issued would
pertain only to tl~at fl~or and that no additional medical uses would be permitl•ed on
~he propnrty. He oxplained the zoning maps can be tagged to make certein that no
business licens~s far medlcal o'Ffice uses are issued on thet property.
Mr, MonJi stated there is %,000 square feet of office space ~~hich wo~+ld not be medical
office and he thought it was possiblG the application was fllled out incorrectly and
should have read~ "a medical office use in a portion of the bu(lding."
Cammissioner Barnes asked if the c~de allows that a cor~dltional use permit could be used
in a situatlon like this ta alluw a medfcal facility in ~.he industrial xone.
Jack White explained the commercit~l henerAl zone permits medical and dentel affices and
this request is for a parkinc~ waivE~r. He stated the Commission could restrict this
variance to a particular form of inec11ca1 office~ such as industrial~ and limit it
to a certain number of doctors and employees. but he was not sure that would be
practical in givinc~ notice to subsequt~nt tenants or purchasers. He stated there is
no way to restrict the llfe of the variance since it stays with the property. He: stated
the code cautd be changed to rCquire a ~.onditlona! use permit for all medical offices
or the Commisstor~ could deny this reques; ~ or if it is granted, the Commlssion could
limit it to Chis type of use that is bein~7 proposed~ but that would not guarantee
there will not be a problem in the `uturt if the pr~perty is sold or the usr. changes,
Chairman Bushore asked why this site was selrcted and whether this clinic will be part
of a group of clinics ard suggested thet this matter be continued in order for the
Commission to taok at some o~ the other clinics.
Commisstoner Nerbst asked that his question regarding the proposed parking agreement with
a neighbor be answered. Dean Sherer answered that the petitioner had initially indicated
to staff that there was a posslbility of an off-sitc parking agreernent.
Michae) Peters~ Corpt~rate Realty, stated he was the real estate agent involve~~ in this
situation and cxptained the parking agreement was mentioned b~cause th~re is a property
owner in the area who has mor~ parking spaces than he needs and wCUld be willing to
icase a portion to this operation.
Chairman Bushore explained the agr~.~ment wc~uld have to br a reciprocal parking egreement
which would be recorded and it could not be a lease u~less it is a realiy long
term lease.
Mr. Monj) axplained he is the Assistant pdmi~istrato~ with Avalon-Slauson Industrial
Medtcai Grvup. Ne explained freeway visibtlity probabiy had a bearing on the selection
of the site. He stated they have a cli~ic in Los Angeles an Stauson and in Fresno.
Chairman Bushore suggested a continuance. Cammtssioner Barnes stated she is stili
concerned about the variance and did not feel all the questions have been a~swered.
She asked tf mnre information such es brochures could be provided.

Mr. MonJt repiled brochures could be obtatned~ but their other clinics are initial
industrial clinics so it would not be the aame. He stated this use would not require
as meny parking spacss as a doctor's offlce because they woul~ not have control over
the number of pat(ents coming in~ but with this facility, the number af p~tien~s ts
detrrmrned because it Is known how long the therapy takes.
Commisstoner ~ouas stated the problam is not whether or noc this operation is dlfferent~
but what other uses coulci be allawed if this business moves.
Mr. MonJl sCated expansion has beentaken into consideration and thc~ space ellocated
for this fa~ility will handle whattver patient load they need. He explalned their
lease is proposed for five years with an option for renewal.
Commissioner Bouas scated the prnblesm is that the Cc,mnisslon cannot control whatever
uses would follow, Mr. MonJl stated he doubted they would ever need to move.
Comm(ssioner Herbst stated there are other uses in the building entitled to use
tha parking spaces and he felt if the~ parking spaGes are all being u~ed~ ~attcnts would
probably park at Anahelm Plaza,
Chairman Bushore stated he was not surc anything would satisfy the Commission at this
point trecause of the overriding variance and maybe th~s is Just the wrong location
for this use.
Commissioner Barnes stated the Commission probably agrees that this operation would
n~t hurt the area or thls praperty~ but they are worried about future ope~ations.
She felt the only handle wr~uld be to ins:ludc in the variance that this use would be
llmited to this fioor of the buildiny with only one doctar and 10 employees. She
sugge~ted the petitioner's attorneys finr! e way to limit this with CC6R's~ deed
restrictions, etc.
Chairman Bushore stated he is still not si~tisfied that this particular clinic is any
different than any ~the~ operati~n and he felt if that conce^n is satisfied and it is
proven the use will not generate a lat of traffic~ the Conmission will probably find
a way to approve it.
Commissioner Barnes suggested a two-week continuance ~o the petitianer can provide traffic
and parking studies from their Qther clinics and aiso maybe ~ solution could be found
for limiting the variance.
Mr. tqonji stated they had hoped to get started on this proJect much sooner. He stated
he understands the Commission concerns and noted this is a prototype clinic and in
order for any new tdea to get off the grr~und, someone has to put it together and there
has been ~ great expen,e in gctting this far.
Chairman Bushore suggested coming up with a way to grant this with a conditional use
permit. Jack White explained th~ code allows this use by right and ~he petitioner has
the right to proceed if they can provide the parkireg sp .~; required, He stated the only
way to require a,-.~ndltional use ~ermit is ta mak~ it a requirement that all medical
offices, whether they are industrial, physicai therapy~ etc, must have a permtt and
everytime there is a cha~ge~a new permit would be necessary. Ne explained ~'~e parking
spaces required relate to the entdre facility and the steff report tndicates 36 sQaces
are ~equired far the medical clinic, so ths ~ariance is from 36 to 24 spaces, and S3
spacss a~e existing. He stated the Commissic,n can specifically limit the variance
to an in.ustrial medical ar-d therapy facility, with one doctor and a certain

number of employees.
Qean Sherer stated the Plan~lnq Depa~rtn~ent staff can tag this property on the zoning maps
so that any future business llcenses would not be approved for any other medicdt use~
Responding to Commissi~ner Herbst~ Mr. MonJi replled there is 7,000 square feet still
empty. Commiasloner Hcrbst staced if this usr. is allawed~ future tenants could be
limited. He stat~d he is bot~iered because this whole building wes origin~lly mis-
represented t~ the Coinmissiu~ as a warehouse with an ep~rtment,
Dean Shererexpiatned in 1978 thR Commission revtewed a commercial retail type butlding
with a residence on top~ ond a varlance was granttd, but that permit was never used and a
new petittone~ has submitted plans which were approved and thc butiding constructed
for a general office buildin~7.
Mr. Gay, architect~ xtated according ta his tabulation~ the medical ciinic would require
2Q spaces, not 36~ because of the amount of storag~ and hallways not generally consistent
~•+ith a medical office use.
Dean Sherer stated the parking was caiculated on the groas floor area of one space
for evcry 167 square feet of the building.
Commissioner Barnes st~ted there are several Commissioners who are very co~cerned
ebout the operation itself and e bett~r description is needed in writing~ such as
how many parking spaces are needed~ huw many empioyees there w{11 be at ona time~ etc.
She suggested the attorneys ceme up wlth a solution to the varianc3 problem. She
stated in the past variences have been granted and then the buildings sold wtth the

Chairman Bushore asked if the owne~ has small cars so that he could use part of the

He expla(ned origlnally they planned to remove the tree or p~ssibly would havG had
enough turning radlus to go around the tre~, but the whole purpose was to provlde thc

that the Anah~im City Planning Commisston does hcreby direct staff to review alternatives

of a conditional use permit due to past parking problems.
Prior to voting~ Annika Santalahti. AssistanC Director for 2oning, explained the parking
study has been completed by the consultant and it probabiy suggests an increase of parking
requirerr~nts fpr nxdical facilities and suggested the Commission weit to make any
decisio~s until afte r they have seen the cansultant's presentation.
CommisYloner Herbst stat~d requlring a conditional use prrmtt wi1S give the Commisston
some contral of ihe use.
Annike Santalahti stated typlcai ly the situ+~tion is cos~troi led throuy', th~e bui ~ding
permit pror;ess when modificatior~ are m~de to a buzlding to perm~t a medic~! facillty~
but certainly staff will prepare a code amendment (f the Cammissi~n desires.
Commissi~ner 8arnes noted all medical uses are not the same: that a psychiat~ist can anly
see one or Lwo patients an hour and a regular dactor can see 8 or 9 patients an hour.
Daan Sherer. Assistant Planne r~ st3ted the~e are literally hund~eds of inedical affice
uses in thc comnerciai zone where they are sllowed by right and tf the code is amended
requiring a conditional use permit~ eve ry one of them would have to go before the
Commission. He suggested waiting to make a~y changes unCil after review of the
consultant's parking study because it could includ~ changes in the parking requirements
and there may be ather alternatives such as tagging the propRrky onthe zo~iRg maps which
weuld be less time consuming and less expensive than tMe conditional use permit process.
