twn conditional use permits, one variance, one reclassificatian and one
general plan emendment foc the development of a hotel, two commeccial office
structures and two condominium atcuctures. He stated he believed those plana
and d[awinga are now ceady fo~ presentation and that they have juat received
the first dcaft of the enviranmental impact report whfch will be presented to
staff for ceview during the next two weeks and they expect their applications
to be published within the riexr month and the initial hearings to be in early
June. He referred to Page lb, Paragraph 11, of the ataff report and atated
those figuces were revecs~d t•nprein it ahould read 32 apaces are double-wides
and 109 ace aingle-wides.
Mr. ~arano stated as pact af their rplncation plan, they surveyed six
comparable mobileh~me parka, as dQSCribed in kheir ceport. He stated his
client has indicated that bus trips will be provided to membecs nf the park
when convenient for them so they can review the parka themselves on a
first-hand basis.
Mr. Farano presented a video presentation showing the following mobilehome
parks:
(A) Rivieca Mobile ~o~e Park explaining the park is approximately 25 years
old and examinatione of the infra~tructure indicate that the electrical
capacity is about one-third of what code requires todayt that the aewer
lines, water service, etc. are all substanddrd and are a source of
continual repair and it is their position that the park would have a
life-span of no moce than five years and pcobably it would only be three
years bef~re they find it necessary to provide new infrastructures.
The next parka shown in the video presentation wer~:
(B) ~qate Village, Warner Springa, California-approximately 242 acrea of
which only a amall portion is occupied. He explained the owner of this
park has of~ered to deve:op an entire new section for all the resfdents

iG) GGand~~iew Eest Mobile Estates, Yucaipa, 20 minul-es from San eernardino,

During the video presentation Mr. Farano explained regacding th~ relocatian
benefits, that they have presented 3 alternative benefita including the
estimated amount of celocation costs to be paid to each resident and he wanted
to be sure the Commiasion realizes theae are estimatea only and are set facth
as a requirement af the Anaheim Mobilehome Pack Overlay (MHP) Ordinancet
howev~ec, ceqardless of the figuces ahown, they will pay the d~tual easts of
relocation.
Mr. Farano explained parks surveyed are comparable to the Riviera and some ot
these parks, in some ways, ~re superioc to the Rivieca. [ie stated the Riviera
was built 25 years ago and was never constcucted or intended to pcovide a
continuing or permanent living etmoapheres that preaently there ace 130
coaches nt the Riviera, of which 100 are aingle-wide coaches with 30
double-wide coaches and the average ~ge of coach is 17.25 years. He stated
the rents ahown in the survey are vety competitive and are lower than what the
perk tenants are paYing and are lawer than wh~t they can expect to Qay in the
not ton distant future.
Mr. Farano stated they believe it is possiblP to provide a relocation apace

ere no epecea in 1-naheim ot even in Orenge County, but they heve ~hown theae
other parks where th~re are apecea, including the offec to cceate An entire
area for ell theae tenants.
Responding to Cheirmen Fxy concerninc3 1-lcecnative ]1 mentioned in the etaff
ceport, Page 1-e, Mr. Paca~no exp2eined they contacted a repreaentative oE a
mobilehome md~ufact.urer rnd they agreed to provide 12-foat by 65-foot
mobilehomea to thR reaidenta of the RS.viern with new awninga, skictings,
landaceping, etc. At a coet of apFroximetely 5150 per month, including
financing, for 5 yeers and that the ownera would own the coachee and the
c~achee would be in theic names. he atated he dues not know if that offer is
atill availeble because they did not pucsue it after receiving e negACive
response, but if there is interest, they could regenerate thP project and tcX
to make eure that it i8 an eckive alternative.
Carl Shorey, 300 W~ Ka~ella, Space 51, Anahcim~ steted !~e thinka thia hearing
is a big joke becauae the Mobilehome Park Overlay 2one was juat adopted and
the Task Force spent many hours and did as fine a job as could be done and now
tl~ie owne[ is cequeating that tt~e zone be removcd. He referred tu the impect
ceport which indicatE» the undecground utilitiea, aewece, plumbing,
electrical, etc. are in bad st~ape and need complete re~lacemen-: within the
next 5 yeacn and aeked how the other mobilehome park~ eucveyed can exiet aince
some of them are ~lder, pointing out Grandview in Yucaip~+ is at least 30 years
old. He stated the motel ~cross the stceet uaee the same facilitiee as this
mobilehome park and they do not aeem ta be having any pcoblems~ Ne stAted
they had a leak in a watec main about 1-1/2 weeks ago because ~ wall ahifted
and ccacked it, but he talked to the plumber, who is an expert, and suggested
sincP the pipe is 23 yeara old, it must be pretty ratten and khe plumber had
indicated that thia pipe could lt~et l0U years because it cannot cuat, ac~le or
cot. He added he thought the information obtained re~~acding the life of the
park is wrong.
Mc. Shorey referced to page 2 of the impact rep~rt pertaining ta security and
the tenants' safety anci the lnfocmation thnt Katella Avenue ia a high level
pedestrian area which causes vandalism and mdlicious mischief. He atated he
found out from the Anaheim Police Department that Riviera ie one of the least
troublesome spots in Anaheim; however, there ia a motel at the rear of the
park which has some problems.
Mr. Shorey stated he counted pedeatrian traffic on March 6th fcom 4 p.m. to 9
p.m. and 42 pecsons passed the entrance; on Harch ?th from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30
p.m., 17 persona passed the entrance and on March 8th from 2 to 4 p.m., 22
persons passed the entcance. He explained he counted pedestrinn traffic Lor
11-1/2 h~uca and there were 81 persons which is abouk 14 per hour and he did
not think that is a high level of pedeatrian traific. He added he felt if the
vacant spaces were filled in this park, there would not be a problem wfth
vandaliam. He stated a tape player was atolen fco.n the club house duri~ng day
light hours.
Mr. Shocey referred to Page 4 of the Mobile Home Convecaion Impact Report and
expl~ined the portion pertaining t~ the coaches which could be removed
l~gally, no longer applies because the 17-year old law became effective. He
referred to the aurvey of available spaces outafde Orange County and explainc~d

on Merch 5, 1983, he pec~onelly conrected each ~~f the parks mentioned end
pereonal.lt~ touced thoee perke And the arandview in Yucaipa ie between 32 snd
38 yeer~.a old end the rent ia $125 per month inc:~uding waker, sewer and trseh
pick-up and ab of Mecch 5, 1983, they had no vacant epecea, bul expect~d to
have 4 in 3 to 5 weeke, but thosa apeice~ woulra be vacated ~y trev~l trailera
end were for omaller coechea end the epaces had no driveweya and no coach ovec
10 yeaca old would b~ allowed. He atated ev~3n though Che Gcandyiew ia betwedn
32 to 38 years old, they do not enticipate nny ptoblema with theic underground
utilitiies.
Mr. ~horey referred to the Rolling Homee Mobile Elome Perk in Hemet and
expleined they had 1 vecant apace and no coech over 10 yeers old would be
allowed and the rent was $125 per montht ~het the 1lmericana Mobile Nome
Estates in Hemet haa 2 aectiana and the rent in the old sertion would be ~156
to 5165 pec month and they have 2 spaces for double-wide coachea and the!
cannot be ov~r 10 years old and the new aection tent ia 5160 to $175 ~er montti
and an increa~e ie expecl•ed in July and they ha~~e 30 to 35 space~ vacant for
double-wides only with etrict requicem~enta and it would be hacd fot any of the
coaches from the Rivier~ to quelify for that park.
Mr. Shocey ceEerred to the Lake Perris Village and etated they have 6
double-wide spaces and the rent is ~165 per month and no coaches over 5 yeacs
~ld will be allowed. He stated he toured the p~rk in Rialto but no manager
was availablet however, he did talk tn aeveral of the tenants and there were
quite a few empty spaces, mayb~ evF1n up to 60 in the new section, but there
were no slabs or patioa and that weeds were very high. He explained the
tenante told him th~t those epace~a in the new section were locatFd on a knoll
and there are ntrong winds which would destcoy a couch and that ie the reason
there are no coeches there. He ~atated the old section is not bad, but there
are no spaces available. He exz:Iained he spent 11 hours touring these patks
and toured many nkher parks and he thought this entire report is a farce and
he did not think the Mobile Hotsae Overlay 2one shou.ld be removed. He ~tated
Anaheim is looked-up to and car~sidered a leader.
Vincent Jantz, attorney, 2700 N. Main, Santa Ana, stated the Conversion impact
Report really did not heve v~:ry much information and that Mr. Shorey had done
an excellent job reviewing tnat report. He referred to the staff report PAge
1-e, Paragraph 14 wherein 3':aff cecommends the Planning Commisaion consi~ ~
the appropriateness of hearing this converaion request without also
considecing the applicant'f~ plans for future development; and that Planning
Commission may wish to consider requfring the applicant to make appropciate
applicationa for all the development of the park before giving conaideration
to this request and subse~uent closure of the park. He stated he would agcee
with that suggestion by r~taff, because if the owners ere going to ch~nge the
use ~f the property, it st~ould be knewn what they intend to do end asked if a
mobile home park ian't just as good a uae for this property as any u$e. He
stated before diacussing the relocation ~f these tenants, the first decision
sho~ld he whether or nat the Cit~ wishes to change the use of this property to
aome use. He referced to the findings that muet be ma~~ ~efore the
reclasatfication can be approved, one being that the change will ~at have an
adverse affect upon thP goals and policies for preservation of the houeing
within the City as set forth in the Houaing Element and thet the Housinq
Element does include affordabl~ housing. He stated one of the rat•lonales for
MIN xLS.~ 11N,~,H62M CITY FI+1-NNIN,~._.. G COMMIBSION, 1-PRIL 18, 1983_ ______,~_, 83'Z0~
epprovinq tih~ oriqin~l condittonal uee permit for thia mobilehome pack wae to
provide df~ordeble haueing and aeked if aomethinq haa chang~d that makes the
nead !or atfordebl~ huueing lese ~n thie City. He etated thia mobil~home park
do~s provide affordable houaing. He etated another finding is that the
ptopecty would have no viable ue~ ae a mobilehome perk and etated he did not
think that hea occurced end anothQr finding ie that the park hea become
unsafet howev~3c, eome of the peaple have moved in quitp recently and if tha
u!ilitiea were not aafe, they w~3re not inf~cmed o~ the pcoblem and he thought
it ra~th~r expedient thek it can n~w b~ found that the park ie not safe.
Mr. .lantz eteted the Converaion Impect Repock ehould be coneidered ee a, fitst
draft and ahould be returned to the petitioner for finelization. He Ateted
they would also like to see t-~e doc:umentation pectaining to the repl~cement of
the undecground utilitias, etc. end would also like to aee some com~etitive
Uida.
Mc. .Jentz referred to state legialation which allows a 25i bonus to mobile
h~me park owners who will ir~creaae denaity And steted he felt tt~at ie whdt
sh4uld be cansi,dered hece.
~~~~naerning crime, Mr. Jantz steted where people live~ the ccime rate goes down
aa~d fe1~t probably closure of the motel should be discussed rathec khan the
cloaure of this mobilehome p+~rk. He steted Civil Code 798.73 which talks
e~b~ut th~ aae of move-out coaches recognizes the fack that the age of a coach
~s not have anything to do with its life and that it would be allowed to
re~s~i~ in the park unleas it becomes uneafe nr violates some othec codes. Mr.
,t~trr:~ aubmitted ~ copy of the old Civil Code and the neM code pertaining to
L-~ec age of move-out coaches.
?~r. Jantz [eferred to the guestionnaire handed out to the tenants +~nd stated
Nhen ik wes passed out, there wea a court ceportet present ~~nd thece was no
dascuaeion. He stated that questionnaice asked queations such as, how often
do you see your doctor, how many trips do you make, how often do you atter~d
church, etc. and that thP tenants felt it was pcying and they objected to it.
He stated a second queationnaire waa diatributed and thgce were 78 responses
which was ler~s than 508 and he dld not think it could b~e c:onsidered ~ very
good response, He referred to the table containing the number of move-out
coaches and stated that is no longec valid since all theae coaches have a
cettificate that. they have met the California Health Safety Codes. He stated
this makes moet of the tables or appendices invalid. Mr. Jantz etated all
~hree alternatives pertaining to relocation benefits have been universally
rejected by the tenar~ts. He atated he thought the catt was being put before
khe horse in this situetion since it has not really been decided that theae
people will have to be moved and he felt the first thirq to diacusa logically
is the use of thie land as a mobilehome park and felt if relocation benefits
are discussed, there is an assumption that the park is going to be converted.
Mr. Jantz stated there are not many people present b~cause hE hAd adviegd th~m
to preserve their energies since there are probably going to be many meetinge
before the Planning Gommiseion and City Council and also to eliminate
repetitive testimony.
Myra Dunn (secretary could not verify name), Ocange County Fair Housing

unlawful diacrimination in houeing. She etated th~y edvocete for meintenance
end encourage conatruction of new houeing for low-income houaeholds. she
re~erred to the City'a Housing Element and eteted the mobileliom~ reaidency law

Houaing Element guidelinea provi.de thet cities and theic Houeing Elemente muat
provide policie8 of maintenance• improvemente end developments end they mugt
be coneiatent with the City'a identified neede and this City hae responded by
etdting the City will main~ain the ~xisting stack of afforddble houeing end
has aleo adopted an overley zone which further defines that goal. She steted
khey ece concerned beceuae this reclaeaificatiun repreaente a potentiel l~ae
of existing affordable houaing. She refecred to khe current vACancy rate of
mobilehome perks which i~ 1.81 dnd 8tated that is low. She referred to a
recent program on KOC~ televiaion wherein one of the highest pcioritiee of
senior citizens wae housing and that it was No. 3 an a list of concerna below
health care and sociel secucity. 5he atated the develope[~ pcoposel indicates
there are no mobilehomes apaces ~vail~ble in OrAnge County end was wondecing
how that meets the guals propoaed by the City in their Housing Element. She
eteted she thought the proposal is vag~~e and there are a lot of assumptiona
propoaed and ahe would hope the Commiseion wuuld aee the great need foc
houaing. She commended the City and the Task Force for their work on adopting
this Overlay Zone.
F[ancia L. Rigg~r, ststed he has been in Anaheim for 70 years and aold his
home for $5~,000. He had cuntacted aeveral mobileh~me park managers and they
sho~ed him eround the park and all the cuaches that were for sale and aold him
one that was in the right-of-way of Clementine Street. ee etated he juat
wanta a place i~ Anaheim to 11ve out the rest of hia life and that if he hAs
to purr.hase another home, it would coat him a lot m~re than he sold hig home
for c~nd aeked if the Commis~ion would consider that he be compensated for his
loss. He atated the people in this park are living in fear and aevecml have
had heact attacks.
Mc. Farano stated he met with Mr. Jantz in his office Decemher 28, 1982, to
diacuKe some of the problems presented by the tenants and one of those
pcoblems was vandaliam a~d those complaints were eubmitted to the Police
Department. He read a portion of the letter he had written to Mr. Jantz
concerning these vandalism complaints. He stated the video preeentation of
the packe they surveyed was taken personally when they visite~ those parks and
that thece may have been weeda in the parks, but thoae films were taken on
February 25, 1983, and there had been a lot of rain and therp was a lot of
grass. He stated Mr. Shocey's comments did confirm their ceports as to the
number of spacea available and the rents. He etated reqarding affordable
housing, this property h~s never been coneidered as reaidential property, but
a mobilehome p~rk was allowed as an interim use only ar~d people may have moved
in without notice, but there has been notice to the world that this pArk
management intends to convert and e resolutinn of intent to commercial
recreational land uses has been placed on this property, so it was never
intended to be affordeble houaing. He stated it would appear khat affordable
housing is not going to be provided very much in the future, due to
constructio.n costa and land values and any redevelopment of this land would
~'ing the rente completely out of the question.
MINUTB3~ ANAHSIM CITY__PL~NNING COMMISBION, APRIL 18. 1983 83-209
Mr. P~reno atated their etudiee on what it would take co updete this park
indi~aL•ed it would coat Acound 2.9 million dollnta end thAt doee not include
the coet of the land which would reiee re~ta about $400 pQC month, juat to
redevelop the park. He atated the informAtion thdt the underground facilitiee
will lest ~ot another 100 yeers ie not corr~ct ~nd thet they ere eubmitting
inf ormetion by their experta who have examined the infrastructure of that perk
~nd there heve been mejor inatances over the last year end that the electrical
eyate~ ia about one third of what it st~ould be. He stated his client ia not
going to take the risk and continue thia as e mobileh~me park under the
circumatances as they are right now. He etated they filmed the firet po~tlon
of the v~deo preaentation Approximately 10 days efter the December ZBth
meeting wir.h Mr. Jantz wherein thECe were complainta that the menagement was
letting the park go down and ~he Commisaion ehould meke its own judgment
whether or not the perk appeara to be run-down or neglected.
Mr. Farano skated the Mobilehome Park Overlay Ordir,ance was adapted after
recommendations ft~m the Task Fo[ce and there were discusaions dicected
towarda the manner in which parka would be conver.ted, but the ord:nance was
never intended to provide criterta for conditiona under which the park would
be converted, but was intended to provide a systematic and aure mAnner in
which the residents would be provided Eot. He added the purpoae af the
ordinance was also that the ~ark ownec could not trample rough-shod over thp
tenants. He atated the or6inance bets up the crileria and atates what the
awner must do and there ia nothing in ttie ordinance, end no thouqht was ever
given to 4he requirement that the park owner must submit a concurring
application or that a decioion muet be made as to what use the pack would be
converted to or what zone it w~uld be tezoned to. He ataGed the hearing
r.egardfng the development will be long and probably controversial and he did
not think it would be fair to the cesidents or the owner for these two issuea
to be considere~ together. Ne stated they have done everything the ordinance
cequires. Referring to the comment that mobilehome tenants are considered
ownecs, he etated mobilehome owners are tenants in this park and are not
property owners and have lived thece for a long time and had tt~e uae of their
mobilehome and the use of the park, but that is going to end. He staled they
will attempk to cooperate in e~ery way possible to make thia situation as
pleaAant as possible. He stated they will comply with all requirements of the
ord:nance and pointed out the section of the civil code teferred to did not
become effective unk.il after this report was submitted.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Responding to Commissioner La Claire, Mr. Farano etated there were
approximately 80 people present at the meeting discussed in lhe impact R~port
and it was clarified that only John Daly apake at that meeting.
Mc. Farano read a letter he wrote to Mr. Daly following the meeting dated
December 14, 1981, which was call~d becauae they had gi~en an official notice
to the park tenants telling them that a park conversion was beinq consi~ered.
He stated the purpose of the meeting waa to tell the tenants what th~y could
about the plans and th~ce was no ceaponae at that meeting and after the br~ak
everyone left the meetinq and Mr. Daly said that since nothing was presented,
thece were no questions to be asked. He stated his letter to Mr. Aaly
expleined the need for the questionnaire being answpred by the tenante
concerning their situations and needs so the information in thie report would
not be distorted and non-responsive to their n~eda.

Commiseionec Nerbst. agreed the Mabilehome Park Oveclay Ordinance was never
intended to pcohibit a~ark from being converted to another land use, but w~~
to give the Commisa:on a toal to protect the people in the park. He stated he
made the motian to give 100i of relocation costa to the tenante. ~e atated
mobilehome parks were intended to be en interim une when they were originally
approved bec~u$e they were ~~range groves, strawberry fields, etc. and thia
would give the lend owner a way to bring in same money. He st~ted the owner
wiahes to convert this park b?cauae of the lAnd value around the Dianeyland
area end a mobilehome park would never be approved on that aite today. He
added the highest and best use of this pcoperty is not a mobilehome park. He
stated he has been here since 1921 and has see'n pcoperty go from orange grovea
to industrfal usea and that land usea do change. He atated thir property
owner has rights and tl~e tenants aleo have righta and a compcomise must be
reached.
Commissioner Herbst atated the petitioner ia propoaing a high-rise hotel and
other conmercial buildings on that property and that is probably the best use
for that property because of the conventione and other hotels in the area. He
stated it is very unfoctunate for the p~~ople who live there, but the time has
come to change the la~d uae and he thought the people would have to sit down
with the owner and compromise eo there will be the least amount of people
hurt, recognizing that it will be very diff.icult aince they do hdve to move.
Commissioner King agreed.
Commissioner McBurney stated he would like to see the development plana befoce
approving thie request to remove the Overlay Zone. ~
Mr. Farano explained ':he plans are available riqht now in the Planning
Departm~nt and have been reviewed and ceviaed sevpcal ti~es, and they ere
ready to be submitted and the only thing they are waitinq for is the
environmen:al impact report ar,d that the first draft nf that was just recei~~ed
today and will be submitted to staff fo[ review. He stated he belie~ed the
initial hearing for the plans will be held before the end of June. He stat•ed
this will be a big project and there hnve been a lot of queations and
consideration given to the project and also some things ha~e happened since
thP approval of the Hilton Hotel which have caused everyone to proceed
cautiouslyt that ataff has been very cooperative and helpful.
MINUTB9. AN~BEIM CITY_ PLANNING COMMISSION. APRIL 18, 1963 83-211
RaeponQinq to CommiASioner McBurnoy, Mr. Fecano etated the ceaaon ~or eeking
for the removal of the Overlay Zone at thie time is becaus~ they feel the
hearing cegarding the development of thie pcoperty will be very controversiel
beceuae it is a now look which has neve: been done ir~ Orenge County snd that
either the property ~wner oc the tenanta might ha~•e their righta walked on.
He ~d~ed, also, they feel it ia ircelev4nt becduae the ordinance doesn't
cequire that the plans be eubmitted et thta time. He ateted the Tnsk Force
coneideced the fact that thece m~y be eome parks which would remove the
OverlAy 2one up to five yeers befoce developmenk. He stated ~emoval of thie
Overlay Zone is not an easy thing to get done and they felt it would be easier
ko deal with the two iasues s~~exately.
Commissioner N~rbat aeked if the developer ia prepared to start compeneation
to thoae people who would wdnt to move and if khey are prepared to pey
intereat until they can get it accompliehed, if the Overlay Zone ia removed et
this ti ae.
Mr. Parsno stated they rr~ prepared to start paying the relocdtion benerits at
any time. He st~ted he wanted to make it clear that they will pey 100~t of the
relocation costs at the time thc~ move takea placej that the tenanta will not
have to wait for their money anc~ when they are ceady to move, cen aelect one
of the threF altecnativea and be paid then. He stated they anticipate
development will start in the thlyd quarter of 1984 and it would be 14 to 16
months before they would want to have the land cleaced for constcuction.
Commiasioner souas asked how long the tenants would have before they would
have to move. Mr. Faran~ stated t:hey have to give the tenants a 6-month
notice efter they ceceive final aF~provel fcom rhe City Council fc• the
reclaseification and zoning. Jack White stated the tecmination of tenancy
undec khe Civil Code proviaian cannot occur eatlier than 6 months prior ta the
r-pproval of all discretianacy permite necessaty to permit the che+nge uf the
uae. He clarified the building permits do not authorize khe change af uae so
the time limit would not be based on those permitR. He stated if no
discretionary permits a~e required, e 12-month notice would be neceasacy.
Commisaioner Bushoce asked if aFproval af this request would also be approval
of the three alternatives suggested. Mr. F'arano explained Alternative B is in
direct Compliance with Lhe Mobilehome Park Oveclay Zone and ~hese figures are
averag~s based on their aurveys of the parka. He atated they will pay the
cost of relocetion expenaes at the time it is done and if it is more or less
than the figure presented, that is what will be paid.
Commiasioner Bushore atated s~ttir-g the amounts bothers ;~im because it is not
known when the conversion will take place or When these people will move. He
was also concetned about the averages shown in the staff report and what
happens after this is approved.
Mr. Parano stated originally they did not aubmit the tenant's benefit tables,
but that was a requirement, per instructions of th~ City l~ttorney's Office, in
compliance with the Mobilehome Park Oveclay Ordinance, therefore, the
estimated benefits were submitted and they realized that those figures may not
be correct at the time this actually takes plece; however, they will jy the
actual relocatSon coete. He stated in all faicness to the CommiRSion, he
MINUT~S~ 1-NAHBIM CITY PL_~NNING COMMIB&ION. APRIL 18. 1983 ___ _ 83-212
would euggesk that the fiqu-ea not be included, beceuee when e move is
dctually undecteken, the figureu could be m~re oc l~sa, but the tene~t will be
paid the actual cost.
Commi~aionec B~:sh~ e clarified that Mr. Parano had initiAted thia request thet
the Overlay Zane be remQVed without aubmitt'.ng plana for development of the
property. 9~ po~nted out Mr. ~acano is a former Pldnning Commisaioner and
recognize• that the ectual developmenk plana m~y be controversial end everyone
knowa that thie ic dealin9 with ten~nts' ~nd propertY owner's righta end he is
not sure this would De the right thing at this time.
Mr. Facano auggested c:onditioning appraval of this request on submieaion of
the plans. He added L•hat woula be a devistion of what wae intended by the
Ordinance, howevec.
Commieaioner Bushore atated he would agree that ~h~ ~Ord.ina' 2ce was adopted to
give tho tenants protection, becauae in some mo233~~'ParR~~ie propert,y awner
could have changed the ~ae of the property w.ithout a reclaesificatiun and
without giving notice to the tendnte= however, that ia not ti•.e caae with thie
park and it was yuite apparehr this wea coming. He added the petitioner has
complied with the intenC of the Ordinence in this situation by taking the
firat skep to remove the Ovezlay Zone.
Commissioner Herbst aeked if any variance would be [equested f~om the code for
the new development of the property. Mr. Farano etated variances would be
r.equeated as they concern height and they would c~mply with the City of
Anaheim commetcial recreation height atandard guidelines and that no parking
~aiverE are required.
Commissionet Herbst referred to Alternative A wherein the tenants could
pur.chase a mobilehome at a cost of $150 per month with no down payment and
asked if the petitionet will take care of the ~oving of their personal
belongings such as fu[niture, etc.
Mr. Farano stated t~e really could not answer that at this time becauae they
did not puraue that alCernati~e since it was rejected by the tenants; however,
they would be willing to puraue it and he would expect there would have to be
some limits on what iti would cost. He explained the new coaches would be aet
up and the tenanta could just take theic personal belongings and move in. He
stated the tenants could diapoee of their own coach if they wanted or the
petitionec wo~ld asai$t if de$ired.
Commiasionpr Herbst stated this fs a traumatic situation because most of these
people ace cetired and would be displaced and theic coaches are una~:ceptable
i:~ most other parks and it ie possible some of them rould not even be move~.
He stated he thought the ten~nts ehould take a good look at the new coach
posaibility because it would improve their living stendard.
Mr. Facano stated that alternative would make ~emair.ing in Orange Co~~nty a lot
eaeier. Responding to Commiseioner eouas, Mr. Farano stated these cosches
could be set up in anY park within 125 milea.

end all theoe hearinge cegarding this OveclAy 2one have teken place with the

but the City of Anaheim has alwaye c~naidered the ~coperty o~~ner'e riyhta end
hae elwaye tcied to be as fair as poe9lGle. Ne ateted he d~d not feel the
tenan ta could fight this change long enough oc hacd enough to chenge it
becauae of the A[Bd and ehis change has been discuased for a long time. He
etated he cecognizea the tenante have an investment in theic coachea, but they
do not own the land.
CommiaeionPr King suggeated the Commiseion approve all three alCecnatives.
Mr. Farano stated he agreea with approval of all three Alternativea and that
they would fucther purau~ Alternative A becauae he felt it doea give the
tenante flexibility and if there ia auf[icient amount of interest, they could
come back and diecues the problema of thaC altecnetive. He etated he thought
that alternative was still evailable, but would have to pursue it fucther and
added they would need appcoximately 25t to 35• in ocder to m~ke it work.
Jack White stated the MHP Ordinance cectainly allowa Che flexibility to both
the park owner end tenenta to work out a relocetion errangement mutually
acceptable, but the Ordinance doea epeak in tecme of cert~in paymenta that are
abaolutely necessary and have to be considered and imposed by the Commiasion.
He added thac is the reason th e park owner ie requiced to specifically set
forth figures and lhose figures are absolute minimum8= that the owner's
representative has mentioned they will be meking additional paymenta, but the
Ordinance only apeaks to the take down/aet up costt transportation coats and
the additianal amenities coats. He stated it would be an administrative
nightmare to try to determine whether or not actual coate were being
recaptured and lt is only f~ir the ownere of the coaches know what the bottom
line figuce is.
Jack white recommended the f ollowing condition be added: 'That the ownere of
subject property ahall pay to each displaced mobilehome owner as identified in
the Conversion Impact Repart or such owners' successors in intereat,
relocation benefits in accordance with Section 18.92.060.040 of th~ Anaheim

Mr. White explained the lOt interest figure !s the curtent rate being uaed by

Jack White explained the ordinence talks in terme uf ectual amounts end not
estimatea and that the Commi.asion muat be prepaced to set the amount. He
added tl~e Ordinance takes into account that the people will be moving into
different locatione bacauee it atetea the average comparable mobilehome park
and it doean't matter exactly where the coAChes will be moved to.
Commiseioner Herbet was concernpd that ~hese eatimated fiqucea would not be
fnir and he l•hought the Ar6inance ateted khat the tenant would recover the
total coet of moving. Jack White stated the Ordinance reads that they are to
recover the avecage co$t en~ not the ectual caet. Commiseioner Herbst stated
ho hed offered the motion and hed intended they would be paid 100i of the coet
of moving. J~ck White clarified the origin~l proposed ocdinance read that
they wece to recover 80i of the average comparable cost and khe change mede by
Commission wae that they would receive 100! of the avecage comparable cost.
He expleined there would be no way of determining the actual costs until the
tenant moves. He atated in order for t5e ordinance to be administered, the
amount hae to be set at a given point in time.
Commisaionec Herbat pointed out the petitionec hes agreed ko pay the total
cost of relocation. Jack ~hike stated the minimum had to relate to c~rtain
amounta of money and City staff cuuld not be put in a position of audiking the
moves of several hundted coaches.
Commissioner Herbst stated he did not aee why the City has to get involved
wikh the developer paying the tot~l coat of moving unleas a complaint is
filed. He stated he wants to aee that the people ace compansated for the
totel coet of moving.
Commisaioner La Claire stated in thia case the developer has sgreed to pay
100i of the cost of moving and the figures presented are the average
compareble costs at thia time. Commissioner Buahore suggested leaving tl~e

with certain recommendations that the parcels on the weat aide of. Citcon
Street be developed with single-atory structures with enclosed garagea and a
20-faat wide landscaped buffer adjRCent to the single-family residential to
the rear of the parcels. 5he stated she strongly opposes what they are trying
to do because this will come cight up to her nefghbors' property line and
evecything in t~e neighborhood is single-storl, single-~amily and there is too
much traffic there now.
William Durall, 956 N. Wfnter, ~naheim, stated hia property abuts subject

approved on the basis that the property should be upgraded to a better use.

they aupported the idea that the property be upgraded, bu~ did not want
multiple story s?.ructures. He adde~ he thought they had left the meeting with
assur~nces that the aubsequent Generdl Plan Amendment would, at least for
longec than 18 montha, keep the zoning for aingle-family structuces and they
object to someone coming in now with waivers aftier they thought they had it

are there no~ ace overcrowded and ttiat five years Erom now she seea the area
deteriorating= that homes on North Citron Street are not being kept up very
well, in~luding subject property. She stated they knPw if apactments were
allowed 18 monthe ego, the rest of the people on the street would like the
same thinq. She otated she has lived there aince 1947, but that infocmation
has no bearing on whatever is decided and noted they have had more problems
with burglaries in the erea since the ap~rtmente were constructed. 5he atated
she has found thrt apactment owners don't care who they rent to as long as
they can rent the unita.
Jack Dick stated ~~~wns subject property and moved there epproximately 7 or
8 years ago and fnr ..~e firat two years, each kime he mowed hia l~wn, there
was a complaint filed with the Fire Department becauae of the motor running in
the backyard. He stated he did have plans to imp[ove that property because he
does collect antique cars and wanted a building to store them in and also to
have a hobby shop. He explained he showed the plans to his neighbors, but
nobody would sign the petition so he purchased another property in Placentia
and has given up on crying tc lmprove this property because he could not deal
with his neigh-~-, . He stated he felt all that praperty should be put to a
better use as ...~;,ng place for more people.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Bushore asked why the peti; ~~.ec did not comply w~th the
Commission's recommendation that afngle-atory etructur~L~hould be developed
with enclosed garages and a 20-fout wide la~dscaped buffer ad:~acent Co the
single-family residential to the rear of the paccels.
Bob Gilbert, 4572 Lincoln, Cypresa, engineer, stated they have a~~dreased the
e~tire concept of thie project in accordance wfth the City's p1r~r~ for RI~i-3000
for the entire side of the street which providea for two-story d~+ellings
witbin the proper distance adjacent to single-femily homes. He added they

4ubmitred ~ petition end every homeowner on that pide, exc~pt Mc. Joliasein~~
hed eigned the petition in fevor of RM-3000.
Commissionec euehore atated Generel Plan Amendment No. 169 wae edopted with
cectein rules end guidelinea or ceconanendetions ~nd in orde~ to vary from
that, the Cammieaion needs juatificetion. He eteted he auppocted whet theee
people wanted but not ell the wey because the street wae due for ~ change, but
not thie redi.r,al.
Mr. Gilbert etAted they were not awdre thia property would not be treated in
accocdance with the edopted stenderds for the RM-30U0 Zone and have complied
with their original go~ls end are willing to aetback 20 feet Erom the property
linee on the north and they hAVe kept the two-atory u~ita 50 feet from the
property line.
Commiaeioner Hecbst etated the ordinance requirea that two-stocy units must be
50 feet fcom the aingle-family zone dnd they have two-atory units on three
eides. Mr. Gilbect stated they do have signaturee from all the propecty
owneca, with Commiesioner Herbst pointing out new zoning hes not been
requeated. Mc. Gilber~ stated they were led to believe that since the
property owners Are requeating the rezoning, the pcoperty could be rezoned at
the same Cime.
Dean Sherer explained GPA 169 was approved which designated the property on
both sides for low medium density residential land uses which moat likely
would be implemen~ed by the RM-2400 Eor apartments or the RM-3000 for
condominiums and when that amendment wae approved, it was suggeated by the
Planning Commisaion that if this property ie developed for multiple-family
purpoaes, the unita be single story and have two-car garages and where..~~er.
the property abuts single-fe~mily residential zone pcopecties,that there be a
20-foat wide landacaped buffer. He explained thi8 project does have two-story
units located cloaer than 50 feet to the north and south property lines. He
st~ted elthough the Genecal Plan has been changed to low-medium denaity
residential, the property hxs not been placed under e resolution of intent, so
the structucal height wafvere must be called out as well as the 20-foot buffer
waivec. He etated the applicant did approach the Planning Department with two
p~oposals and one was to rezone the entire ~est side of Citron Street and the
petitianer hed written permisaiun from those owners. He stated after what
heppened when that type plan was presented near Philadelphia Stceet, ataff
reeommended the petitionec try to pcesent one pcojeet at a time.
Commissionec Herbat referred to the barbecue area in the setback area with
walkways and stairways encroaching into the setback r~nd stated in hia opinion,
they are .~ot meeting the intent of the or@ina~nce and the Planning Commiesion
made a commitment to these properky owners that they will not consider
two stories in tha. area even though the code does allow them within 50 feetj
that this 3s within 9 feet of one single-family home and there are ataicways
that will look right into these people's yards and the bacbecue area would
have people in it. He stated the buffer acea should not be used for anything
else and he did not think the project even comes cloae to mPeting the intent
af the ocdinance and the promises made to theae people.
Mr. Gilbert stated apparently he did a poor job reading the atmoaphece and
that the 20-Eoot area could •iery well be e complete landscaped buffer area.

He stated the main proble~n seems to be the parlcing and he has aubmitted a
letter to the Plenning Commisaion pertaining to tF~at isaue.
Dan Martinez, 5636 E. La Palma, Anaheim, stated he :s opposed to thie request
because of the traffic problem that iQ there nowf that there is only one
driveway onto La Palma now and traffic backs up into the driveaay 100 feet
ducing prime operating hours and Also eeat ~nd west on La Palma and in
addition, they are also directly across from Sutherland Lumber which hae
traffic making right and left turns. He stated also eubject property is owned

Reapondinq to Commiaeionor Herbet, Mr. Mertinez axpleined he owna a ~estaurent
but ha did not have a problem with thia reetAUrant becauae the pr~posed
reateurent chain doee a lot of edvertiainc~ which will help hia buslneee, but
hie mein concern ie t[4ffic, pointing out there heve been a lot of accidenta
there. He etated the peti,tioner doe$ not heve ecceas For truck deliveriea.
He aleo referced to the Commiaeion's field inapection tcip And stated they hbd
about 60t of the neighboc+~ pcesent to voice their concernP, but did not see
the Commiaeion r~nd suggeated the ection be poatponed ao he could aubmit
written informetion to aupport whet he ie saying. He stated people are all
egainst the reques~ until the treffi.c problem ia corrected.
Connie Br~uer, store menager at 5640 E. Le Palma, etated thelr etore hae 7,000
square feet and about 1,000 cuatom~ars per dayr thet when she called their
landlord about the parking, she wea told thet they would be adding six
edditional apaces and she failed to understand where thie 392•apace figure
came from. She edded their second concecn ie thAt the building only hr~ two
ar three occupants now a~id wond~red where the parking for the othec bu~.nessea
will come from when the huilding ie fully occupied.
Dean Shecer, Aseaciate plann~c, explained the exiating uses at that ahopping
centec were reviewed including retail Eloor space and restaurante and the
parkinq required is based on formulas wfthin the code and that is where the
392-space figure was derived, including thie proposed restaurant= however,
that figure has nothing to do with the number of apacea apelled out in each
tenant's lease with the landlocd.
Mr. Fernandez stated he spent many hours up on the vacant floor of thie
building overlooking the parking are~, counting the cers and watching the
traffic pattern and wae not really prepared for this opposition and should
have brought picturea to ahow that the firet two rowa of parking ere alwa~ys
uaed by the customers at Christian's market and alea to ahow tha~ no leas than
1/3 of the perking spaces ace empty throughout the entire day. He stated he
did investigate this because he wants people to come in end park and have a
sandwich and beer.
THE PUBi.IC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner $ushore pQinted out thia restaucant is allawed by right and the
only reason for. the requeat is to pexmit on-sale beer and wine and he did not
think that would add to the traffic and the oppnsition is aaking the
Commission to deny this pQtition~r the same privileges they have. He stated
he thought this requeat is reasonable.
Reaponding to Commiseioner Herbat, Dean Sherer explained Paul Singer, Traffic
Engfneer, reviewed thie project And recommended that the parking waiver not be
granted beca~se ther~ are parking and traffic problema fn that center and if
thie is approved, the applicant shou2d be cequired to reatripe the existing
lot, sub~ect to approval of the Traffic Engineer foc the appropriate number of
speces. He stated the applicant submitted a letter agreeing thet thia will be
done and that is included as a condition of approval.

to the racommendation on the etatf report thet the plane be ~edeeigned
reloc~ting the gerege ta pcevent vehiculer Acceaa to ecookhuret as auggeated
by the City Trsftic Engineer. He skated to emend the plene i~ thie wAy would
inflict extreme financial herdahip on him becauee the breaker box and kitchen
penele are elreedy exieting on the reec well of the atructuce and to redesiqn
the gacage would be ditficult. He ceferred to the cciteria required for
granting a waiver end ~t~ted he etcongly teels if thia requoet ie denied, this
property would be denied the privileges enjoyed by other propertiea in the
same zone and vicinity becauae he did e aurvey in the ered between LA Palma
end the 91 Freeway on the weat aide of Brookhurst and there is vehiculer
acceae onto Braokhurak from seven housee and thcee bueinesaea end only two
housea do not have acceas to erookhurat.
Robert Bonstill, 1203 N. Groten Stceet, ~naheim, stated he purchased thia home
in 1955~ ~hat he and hia neiqhbura are curious why underoized lots ace being
conaidered aince the property ie rathet large and asked why it ahouldn't be
divided into three parcels when some other adjuatme~ta could be made. He
stated they recugnize the petitioner has A very unique situation with the
atreet widening, but did not know why it ie necessary to ask foc a veriance.
Chairman Fry etated originally the Hawaiian Village was three sepacate
cgcorded lote.
Mr. Bone~ill stated the lots seem to b~ undersized and will b~ moce undereized
with the widening of the street.
Joseph Wentel, 1252 N. Fulton Street, Anaheim, .stated his property ia back of
the HawAiian VillageJ and that the pcoperty consists of threP lots, two of
which have been leveled. He stated he hae petitions signed by all the
neighbors on Fulton Street questioning why thia structure ia being allowed to
be used as a residence because it doesn't blend in with the homes and there
are no plans to rebuild it and they feel it is much too uglf and when they
sell the other two Iota, the builders could put homes in that are worse and
devalue their properti~s.
He stated they have dnother petftion questioninq the waivec for minimum number
of parking epacest that the petitioner uses the alley and the rea: to park his
own pecsonal vehicles with vehiclea parked illegally, etc. and chey uae the
property next dooK ds a washing m~chine repair shop and there ace pick-up
trucks making deliveries, etc. and that is a problem and that they wish to go
on record saying they disagree with the request.
Nartin Lar.and, 1251 Fulton, atated this lot is the same size as the other
normal lota and when the street ia widened, all the properties will have the
same problem, He etated the 5-foot aetback was in c~nformance with code in
1956 ~nd there are et least thcee or four other atructures in that same acea
within 5 feet of the atley. He stated the building does have a different
architecture but did not think that is reaeon to tear it down.

Commiasionar Hsrbat ata~ed he ia concerned abou~ tha eccaas onto Brookh~.~ret,
eapecielly eince the Ciky will be ~eking the 20-foot dedicetion and he thought
eccene could be taken from the alley and e cerport conetructed to provide fouc
parking ata11~. Mr. Hineon atated he underatood aince the building now coveca
40• of the lot and with the additional dedicdtion, it will cover 50t, no
Additional eticucturea could be built on the property.
Commiasioner Herbat pofnted out lf thia etcuctuce is used as a reaidence, when
the dedicetion ia made, the entire front of the property will be moved and
stated egain he thought eccesa could be tAken from the alley inetead of
Bcookhurst. He added even though the neighboca do not like the looka of the
building, it does have value and he thought it could be made livable and did
not see any reaeon to deny the weiver juat because the.y do not like the way it
looka. He otated he thought it would be better to be lived in thbn to be a
vacent building subject to vandaliam. He ateted the Tcaffic Engine~r ie
violently opposed to any access off Brookhurat Street. He noted moet of the
waivera ara exiating and pointed aut the City is causing pact of the problem
by requesting additional dedication.
Commissioner King pointed out this exieting building ia no clo~er to the
street than the building next door to the south.
Commissioner Herbat steted all the otructures will be affected when the atreet
is widened. He auygested the petitionec review the planc and try to come up
with a way to eliminate the need for the packing waivec. He atated he would
be moce in favor of the cnrport than the hammer-head turnaround, pointing out
more parking spaces could be provided.
Mr. Hinaon atated he had talked with the Traffic Enyineer and he had indicated
the dedication may not be needed for 20 to 25 years.
Dean Sherer reaponded to Commissioner Herbst that the matter would nct have to
be readvertised in ordec to appcove it with a carport and with access off the
alley rather than of£ Brookhurst.
Cummissioner Herbst atated he would like the Tcaffic Engineec to review the
parking.
Dean Sherer explained the Traffic Engineec's concern is that when dedication
is made, not only this property, but all the propertiea along Brookhurst will
be afferted and some creative altetnatives for parking on the alley will be
necessary. He added Mr. Sfnger recommended either re-orfentation of the
garage, or accesa from the alley, oc that e carport be provided adj~cent to
the existing dwelling.
Responding to Commisaioner Herbst, Mr. Hinson stated ~e thought he could
accomplieh thia change in plans.
It was noted the Pl~nning Dicector or his authorized representative haa
detecmi.ned that the propased project falls within the definition of
Categorical Exemptians, Class 1, as defined in the 5tate Environmental Impact
Report Guidelines and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the requirement
