There were fouc pereona indicating the ir preaence in oppoeition to aubject
cequeat and although the ateff cepoct wae not. re4d, it ia referred to and made
a part of the minutee.
Ulyases eauer, erchitect, explained they met with the neighbore who were
opposed to Lhe project end revi~~wed th eic concerna and made certein
commitments to alleviate those concecn s, He explained the oppos~tion's major
concern .related to the vieual intrusio n tnto their bac:kyecda end homea and
that the petitioner has agreed to plac e an eluminum ptivacy screen about four
feet nway from the windowa on the thir d etory which would not interfere with
air circulation, etc. and khat the acr eene would detet any person from the
third L•looc from looking into any yards,
Mr. eauer explained they hed also met with three adjacent propetty ownere to
the south A~d did put up an 8-foot hiy h barriec and determined an 8-foot wall
would eliminate any view frum the second etory. He alao referred to the third
floor balconies and pointed out on the exhibit thet a 6-foot tall person
stending on the belcony would not be a ble to see ovet the top of the screen
into their yards and added. however, i f that is a major concern, they wou16 be
willing L•o increase the height of the sc~een.
Ellsworth Gonce, 9911 Stonybrook Drive, atated they cooper.ated with the
petitioner and listened to their proposal. He added they are concerned about
their privacy and property velues and the amenities such as air flow that
would be restricted by the propoaed 8- foot wall and noted the wall would be 10
feet on the p~oPerty owners' level because th~y are 2 feet below the exi~ting
grede. He state~9 i~ has not been ~emonetreted that 107 units could be
conattucted and still protect their p ropetty values, privacy, air flow, odors
from the kitchen and bar and the unsig htly prison-like wall which would
eliminate what little vi~w they have of the mountaina to the north. He stated
thpce would also be noise and fumes f r om the cars parking behind their homes
and it would mean added congestion on Brookhurst. He stated they feel n
building on this lot ahould confocm to the exiating businessea auch as the
32-unit Brookhurst Lodge and the 28-un it Polynesian Motel.

findinge is on file in the City of Aneheim Planning Department.
~CTION: Commiesioner Herbst offered e motion that the Anaheim City Planning
Commiseion does hereby grant weiver of Code requirement on the bdsia that the
petitioner hae ekipuleted to enter into an ayreement to provide additional
perking in the future if it ia found that the exiating parking is not edequate
and that eny parking plana propoaed would be subject to approval by the City
TrAffie Engineerj and that the perking verience will not cause an increase !n
treffic congeation in the immediate vicinity nor adveraely affect any
adjoining lend uaeat and qranting the pdrking variance under the conditions
imposed, if rny, will not be detcime~tal to the peace, health, eafety or
generel welEare af the citizens of the City oE Anaheim.
Jack White, Assiatant City ~ttotney, expl~ined thet et leAat on one other
occasion, the City hae requiced thdt a covenent be recorded to provide thet 1E
in the future the City conducts a traff.ic atudy which indicates that
off-street parking is not adequate for exiating uses, the owner would either
constcuct a parking stcucture or otherwise provide additionAl parking in a
number and manner satlsfackory to the City Traffic Engineer. He added on
another occaeion, the City has cequired thet a faitt~ful perf ormance bond be
posted to guarantee satisfaction of that condition. He explained even though
the petitioner currently owns the adjacent property, there is no guarantee
they will still own it when the perking is needed oc that it will be avallable
for p~rking and khere would be no way foc the City to enforce that type
covenant whir', is the reason foc requiring that a bond be poated to provide
that in the =~nt of default on the covenant, the principle amount of the bond
would be cec;~~iced ae liquidated damagee to guarantee that the faeilities would
be inetalled.
Comtt~issioner Hecbat stated requiring a bond botheca him because it is possible
they may npver need additional perking spacea.
Jack Wh~te stated the Commission can require that the covenant be recorded,
but it ,~~ be open-ended and the manner in which the City would go ebout
requir , rQ parking might not end up in the reault the Planning Commiasion
ia lookiay for.
Commissioner La Claice stated th'~ is quite a large vari.~ncE and she thought
in the future there will be inc•_,ved patients at this hoapital and the
property the hoapital owns to the south looks like a pcime site for a medical
office building and she ~id not thin~ ehe could vote i`~z the variance without
cequiring a bond because if the hospital decided to ub~- that pruperty, the
City could not legally force them to build a parking et~ucture.
Jack White stated a covenant could be recorded on the prc,perty on which the
hoapital wae conatructed but could not be recorded on any property that was
not a part of this application.

Jack Whit• r~plied to Commisoionor Kinq that this vovenAnt would be s wtitten
aqre~ment by the pcopacty owner thet in the fueur~, if an independent perkinq
demend study found a d~ficiQncy, that th~ adairional peckiny would then ba
provided and tsilure to provide thst parking would conaCitut~ A violation of
the conditione and allow the City to declere ~ Lnri~itur~ ot the amount of the
bond. He eteted the bond would give the hoepiral rheir own ince~tive ta
pravide the parking aince it would be in the beat int~rest of their busin~ee.
Responding to Commiasionec H~cbet, Mr. Endo steted they have no objection to
providing the bond, with M~. Rodciguez ~tetinq they would like to have the
covenant tied to rhe hospital pcoperey and the employee parking lota ~nly end
if neceasary they will build a perking etructure on the employee Fecking lot
end would not tie up the vacant property to the aouth.
Commisaioner Le Claire steteJ ahe wanted to meke it clear tha~ khe bond ia
going to m~ke a big difference in the way ehe votee.
Commiasioner Herbat atated he would include in hia motion that the amount of
th~ bond would be detecmined by the C1ty Engineer. Jack White added the
amount would relate to conetruction coats of edditional perking.
Commissioner McBurney alacified that the covenant will be recorded o~ the

Mr. Catalona stated they understand the concerns and are wiiling to addresa
them directly. He stated they we~t to the immediate neighborhood adjacent to
the proposed development and apoke ta the reeidents and asked them to share
their concerns because they are concerned about public relations. He stated
they plan to franchise with either the Quality Inn or Travelodge and are
talking about an upgraded type motel that would be an addikion to Anaheim and
something to be pcoud of And will compliment the kind of growth and spirit
that should come from a commercial develoFment. He stated they did not
receive any direct questions after viaiting the neighborhood and the concerns
discuased today by the oppoeition are also their concerns. Regarding the view
into the property from the third level, he stated they have visited other

thinking elong thoae linaa. H~ preaented photogrepha ehowing the enawfr to
that problem by Relph'e Merket end atated thet ia one approach th~y coul~
uae. He etated they are tuned in and are intereatad in listening to the total
community involvement end that 1~ the reason they preaenCed their pl~ne and
those concerna can be addreased as they develop the pcoperty.
THE PUBLIC HEARING W~3 CLOSED.
Commiesioner Herbet steted the Commieaion has appcoved a lot of motels in thie
City, but he did not think there hes been one so obvious aa this one with ell
the accesa dooca facing into the cesidential erea and referred to the one juat
approved whece an 8-Loot scceen was cequired. He etated this pcoject is
completely bACkwarda and a 3-etory unit is probably juat too much for thie
pcoperty and if it has to be done et the expense of the adjoining property
owners, thece is something wrong with the plana. He eteted accesa to the site
is limited, and the elley that will pcobably be used will be limited, and the
parking againat the 6-foot fpnca would be detriin~ntal because a motel is a
24-hour operation~ end a 6-foot wdll doea not attenuete eound, ~nd the
cocktail lounge would be open until 2:00 a.m. and people would be t~lking in
the parking lot and leaving in their vehicles and that could diaturb the
neighbora. He atated the aite will be suitable for e motel, but not one this
large. He stated all the propecty, except one portion, is commercial now, so
it will be probably be built with something commercial and e propecly designed
motel would pcobably work with the least effect. He etated the project should
be redesigned with a lot of thought given to the neighbocs as to the intcusion
into their privacy and landscaped bufFPrs ehould be considered eyen though
they do not buffer sound and the design with walkways and doocs ehauld be
changed.
Commissioner La Claice stated sh~ hears the neighbora comments about not
wanting a motel in their areas however, something is going to be developed and
it will not be single-Eamily homes and probably will be commercial and could
be ~ ahopping center or more of what is already there. She ateted the
neighbora ehould give the benefits of this motel a lot of conaiderat~on,
especially since it will be a first-class motel. She stated a motel would
have sompone thece all the time and a ahopping centec would not. She stated
when a pereon livea adjacent to a vacant lot, they get used to having it thece
and would like to keep it, but that is not going to ha~pen on this propetty
and she also ~ealizes that Ball Road is a noisy atreet and she could
undetatand why the developer designed the pcoject in the manner proposed
because it would buffer the trAffic noise from edll Road to the residents.
She stated she wants tv see the neighbora' rights protected, but also wants to
protect the properi:y owner's right to develop this property and would like to
see a solution between the two. She atated she did not think the neighbors
have given this motel very much thouqht and she would like Eo see the
developer redeaign it and work with the neighbors. She suggested the
neighbors work with the developer because they could see e much worse
development on that property than a motel. She atated ahe realizes they are
concerned about noise, crime nnd safety and she understanda this is a busy
corner. She added ehe is al~o concerned about the signing and would want to
see the signing included on the revised plana showing the location to make
sure it doea not intxude i~lto the neighbor's property. She stated she did not
think the location of the swimming pool is ideal since it backs up to the
neighbora' homes and would want to see that relocated and also the location of
the trash storage area should be moved. 8/8/83

to be det~rmined to heve thae typ~ op~cation in that locetion and eleo aaked
if this will be e private club or op~n to the public (Chairman Fry explained
thia will ba e pciNate club). Mc. Pollacd stated that the petltioner h~d
continuad to establieh a cight-ol-way ovec the beck of hia property and shows
a dciveway off Vacmont wh~ch i$ not used. He pcegented photogrephs tekQn Ecom
Vetmont and from Harbor. He atated he hae trisd to talk to the property
ownet, but got no cooperation. He at~ted el~nq the front of their pcopecty
there ia a bad eituation becauee of a food etamp EACiliky ~nd people park on
tiis property and hia bueiness has declinRd beceuae of the packing situekion.
He auqgeated extending the grillwork an the north aide of the petitioner's
pcopeCty to pcevent the people from using his property aiid aleo fencing the
weat prnperty line f[nm Vermont to the drivewey on the service atation
propecty and from thet corner weat to hia buil~ing. He etat~d he felt this
would eliminete the traffic problem. He atated when the foud et~mp bueineas
came in, he had to hire guacde to etop people from perking on his pcoperty
becauae they felt they ahould be allowed to park behind the stet~on and the
truck delivering gASOline had to wait for someone to move their .ar. He
pointed out the two parking specea shown on t.~e plan on Vermont which are not
paved and etated it ie e tercible pcoblem cight now and he felt with a fence,
the problems would be eliminated. He preaented othec photographa ehowing the
grillwork facing H~rboc.
Lealie Gardnec, 400 W. Vermont, Anaheim, stated hia pcoperty is right up to
the fence and he is not in favor of anything with alcoholic bevecages because
their bedrooma are right next to the parking lot and he would not appreciate
people t~lking and keeping him awake at night. He read a letter of oppoaition
from a neighbor, Doria Sneltzer, 413 W. Vermont, stating they are opposed
becauae of the s~le of alcoholic beverages and traffic congeEStion and ~re
concerned that the fecilities will be rented out= and that the quality of
their neighborhood ha~ been currently sliding downhill and thia will speed it
up.
haurice Pinto, owner of subject property, atated he bought the pcoEecty about
6 years ago and the accesa to the property cannot be changedt that the gas
station was there when he purchaaed the property and he did not creat~ the
traffic problem. He atated when the building was built there was no pla~,~ing,
but he should not be pennlized for thats that the traffic that comes to the
gas station ia euppose to be to the station, but Nr. Pollard put up a fence
that closed the entrance tn the perking lot which he believed was illegal
because he felt sure he has "preacriptive rights' to use that pcoperty becauae
he thought after accesa to a property ie uaed for a certai~ number of years,
it becomes like public praperty. He stat.ed if he puts up a fence, the
aituation will be worae because cars will not be ~ble to go into hi~ packing
lot and will etay on the service station property. He stated he did put up
signs showfng where the parking is located.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairman Pry pointed out the applicar.t is the Moose Lodge and the requeat is
for a Moose Lodge at this location and he felt the Cammission's c~mments

Mr. Ford explained khey have no kitchen f~cilities nt their pteeent location
end would like to heve kitchen fecilitiea and thie facility is e littlo hit
larger because of tl~e kitchen~ however, they do not expect to inccease chair
memberehip. He explAinQd they have ~ gteat deal of. dancing on Fcid~y end
Seturday nights with about 30 couples. He explained they would not be aerving
any alcoholic bevetegee to the public and would not cent the facilitiee to
outeiders. Ne reaponded to Commieaioner King thet they have looked at other
propertiea and think this ie a good location.
Mr. ~ord resgonded to Commisaioner Bouae that he did not think the perking
situation would be e problem becauae they do heve adequete parking. He atated
they average 10 to 15 pereons during the day, so rhat would nat be a problem
with the food etamp buaineae beceuse of the hours of operetion.
Commieaionec Herbat steked to Mr. Pinto that thia property hes been before the
Planning Commission many times and there has been a lot of opposition from the
neighbors and he thought it was bec~use Mr. Pinto has not been a good
neighbor. He stated he th~ught Mr. Pinto waa wrong about heving an easement
beceuse if there is an easement, it would ahow on the map. He atated the only
wuy he could vote Eor additional uee on the propecty would be if the pcoperty
was brought up to Code and the conditions imposed on the previous conditional
use permit, such es landscaping, fe~cing, etc. complied with. He stated he
would be one of the first ones to see that Che previous conditional use
permits are revoked if thia property ie not brought up to Code. He stated he
would like to see a fence across the front with 10 feet of landscaping and
also a fence behind the service etation and a fence to the cocner to block off
the corner and he theught if thia ie done and the lot is paved and landscaped,
a lot of the problems would be resulved. HA atated the property doea adjoin a
cesidential acea and that he has no opposition to thP Moose Lodge because it
faces Harbar, but the dcawings show access to Vermo~t and that ia the wAy it
should remain, so the access queation accoas the service station is moot.
Chairman Fry agreed and stated it is time the property owner got the property
brought up to Code and that the reference to 'prescriptfve rights• has to be
settled by a court of law.
Mr. Pinto st~ted he did not create the •pteacriptive easement" and is not
asking to use it, but did not think other people could be stopped from using
it.
Ghairm~n Fry stated fencing the area will atop people from using it.
Commissionez La Claire stated none of the existing traffic is going to the
Moase Lodge, but that eome traffic in tbe past has traversed the atAtion
property and the aervice station operator has the rfght to put up a fence.
She stated in her opin~on, the Moose Lodge will have no adverse impact on the
erea and will prooably be a benefit. She agreed it ie time to improve the
property for adequate accesa.

spaces in a gacage and nlao requires that the open space requitement s hall be

way ataff viewe it. He added staff feels thie would be a dangeroua precedent

in thie situation.

that in ordet to have that many bedrooms, the open apece requirements ~ust be
increased and in this particular eituation the 3-bedroom unit is right at 35~
meximum lot covecage and adding the 4th bedtoom does nut increase the lot

Commiesioner L~ C1Aice atated this addition does n ot decreaee the open area he

Responding to Commiasioner La Claicg, Dean Sherer explained thece is ~ot a
squace footage limitetian in the RS-5,000 Zone and that the only limitations
relete to lot coverage, bedroums and etruc:tutal height.
Commissioner La C2aire etar.ed the pcoperty ownec could make theee additions
and add squere footage as long as he did not make enother bedcoom.
Comm.i.ssioner Herbst etated there were homee first allowed in this aone with 7
bedrooms. Com.~nissioner La Claicg st~ted ahe wae on the Commiaeion when this
tcact was approved, but her concern is thet the Commiseion doea not have e
hAndle on this type sftuation becauee square foot age ia not limited. Dean
Sherer steted the petitioner could add another f amily room onto thia
second-story addition and inccease the size of the dwelling to 5,000 SGjUdP@
feet end etill meet the lot covera~e requirement, ao the Commission has to be
very careful with this kind of cequest.
Commiseioner Hecbst stated he ia not in favor of the propecty owner having to

TH& PUBLIC HBIIRING WAS CLO$ED.
Etesponding to Cammie8loner Bouea, Mc. Eygekt eteted the clienta would be
overnighters, lete-night ~rcivals, and there are people who would want to stay
6 months, but he thought there wes en ordinance by the CiCy concerning the
length uf time people could atay. Ne edded h• could keep the perk 80t full at
all timea.
Commieaioner Herbst stated he ia concerned beceuee perke dpproved in the pest
have beeome permenent ceaident packa with eome people living in the trailera
over 20 yeare. He stated he felt thie particuler locetion is just not
suitable foc a RV perk beceuse it ie encroaching into the reeidential erea and
the people eround do not want it. He ateted the RV parke eround Dianeyland
ace busy and ere needed, but this acea eould beeome one foc more
permanent-type reaidents.
Commiasioner Le Claire etated the General Plen calxs f~r low-medium density
residential which would permit c~ndominiums or apartments and khere is a
defi.nite ahortage of apartmenta in Aneheim and eeked if the pgtitioner had
eoneidered apartmenta. Mr. Eggett ceaponded that a 2-etory apartment pcojeet
was turned down on this property severel yeacs ~+go dnd he thought with a
6-foot fence at an 8-Eoot level, these RV's would be completely out of sight
and ~his would be a good pcoject for khia area.
Dean Sherer explained the varianae request on this property was to permit
outdoor atorage of heevy equipment and he did not believe there wea focmal
applicatiort made for a 2-etory apattment pcojeck on this property.
Commissionec King pointed out certein findinga muat be made in order to
apprave thia request and he could not agree that the proposed use would not
advecsely affect th~ adjoini.ng land uRes and grawth and developme~t of the
acea.
Mr. ~ggett etated something needs tn be done ebout this property becauae it is
a fir~ hezard right now and he would work nut eny conditiona imposed.
Commiasioner La Claire ste~ted the General Plan calls for low-medium density
reaidential and the property would be appropciate for an apartment complex and
that would be a good buffer to the single-family xesidential area and
according to City etaff, that would be the best use of the property. Sne
stated right now apartment projecte are being con8tcucted eo ehe felt it would
be a feaeible pr4ject.
Commiaeioner Herbet atated variances have been granted for the 150-foot
setback and buildings have been allowed closer then they were three years

as one condominium or apactment develApment which would be a far better uee of

coffee ahop, restaurant, b~r and meeting room And are r~questing a waiver for
packing on the baeis that the pcopoaed perking wi11 meet the needs of the

Haster to Clementine to prevent left-turns to and from Zeyn Street and also
they ere going to canstruct a modified cul-de-sec to allow free eccesa to
their propecty via a 30-foot roadway which will be jointly used by Paccels 1
and 2.
Bill Kobineon, own~c of 1733 end 1730 Zeyn Str.eet, stated his question
perkeins to tr~ffic pcoblems which are in the erea at this time. He stated
almoet all the hotels, especially around the Convention Center area, have been
granted parking varianceo and the etaff repoct stakes that all propertiea muat
be treeted the same end if that is the case, thece will be tremendoua traffic
and parking problems. He atated now when there is A ballgdme and something
going on at the Conventior~ Center, t~affic cannot use Kdtella ~venue. He
stated he is not oppoaed to the hotel, but felt thio t.raffic situation should
be brought to the attention flf the Commiesion. He atated if the acceas to
this hotel is a private road with trucks using it, thece could be a problem.
Mr. Tucner atated he asaumed a11 the othec hotel parking waivera were based on
traffic studies made showing the actual Code requirement was somewhat
excessive a~ far as it relatea to bus traffic, etc. to the hotels and motela.
Concerning the private street, he stated they will be providing sign$ at the
entrance which will clearly indicate this is a private street ta the hotel and
they will want free accese to the property for emergency vehiclea, etc. He
staCed the Traffic Depar~ment was concerned about the traffic on Katella which
is the reason for the median.
THE PUBLIC HBARINr WAS CLOSED.
Chairmnn Pry atated the main accesa will be off ~reedman way and the median
will be on KAtslla from Haeter to Clementine in a weaterly dicection, so
anyone coming ouk of Zeyn Street will have to make a right turn heading west.
r.ommiesioner Herbst atated parking variances have been gra~ted because the
parking studies sho~ that people do come in by bus, plane and tcaint however,
he would definitely want the petitioner to atipuldte to add additional parking
1E it is needed in the future.

Mr. Turner etated they will hav• ths u$e of th• packinq on the adj~cent
property even though they do not know how it wi.ll be developed.
Cammieaioner Hecbet etsted the weivec requested ie more than haa been ellowed
to any hntel and he thought it wae too much and aince thia hotel ie furth.r
away, thece will be a need for more rental vehiclas, etc. and every requeet ie
just a little bik more then the previous one and it ia just too much unleea
the petitioner ie willing to atipulete to put in a perking etructure or
provide additionel pecking whe~ it is needed in the future.
Mr. Turner eteted th~ rgataurant will not generate eny outaide kraffic and it
will be there primacily to service the hotel guests.
Dan eark~r, Ginacott, Law and Greenspen, parkinq conaultant, etated the skudy
foc this hotel was ~ased on the atudy mede for the Remada Inn on Katelle which
ia located cloaec to the Aneheim 6tadium thAn to Disneyland and there are 240
rooma in the Ramada Inn and elso a fceeskending reataurant a~d thAt hhey
acrived at a.63 perking bpace ratio based on 100~ occupancy which incJ.uded
the resteurant patrona as well. He stated they had utilized thet figure for
thia 224-room hotel. He atated they had looked at two aeparete usea of khe
meeting room including non-hotel guesta. He stated the .63 apace per coom
figuce wes used and adding the proposed occupency of che internal reetaurant
and a portion for pn-site guesta with eome off-eite gueat~ being included, the
net reault for the late evening traf~ic parking demAnd showed there would be a
parking aurplus. He stated the Ibis Elotel parking study, based on the hard
data from the Ramada Inn, indicates thece would be a parking surplus.
Commissionec Herbat asked what they propose to do if it turns out they are
wrong and additiondl parking apaces are needed, expleining the Emerald Hotel
wae required to deaign their parking etructure to accommod~te additional
spacee in the event additionel spacea wece cequired and that is the kind of
cammitment he wanta to hear befoce he can vote for appcoval of this variance.
Dean Sherer pointed out Condition No. 10 of the staff report zequicea thet the
property owner execute and cecord a covenant agreeing if the City conducts a
tiraffic study which indicates that the off-street parking provided ia
inadequate, that th~y shall construct a parking structure on the hotel
propecty or otherwise provide additional parking in the numbec and d~s.~...
satisfactory to the City Engineer.
Tim Walsh, 2535 Maricopa Street, Torrance, ge~erdl pactnec, stated this is a
Prench Hotel and is a large chain in France and this is their second hotel in
the United &tates end the majority of the guests will be fcom Prench tours and
they did not take that aspect into consideration in their packing studys that
khey are very aware of Condition 10 and do have several queetions, but are
willing to ~ost a bond or letter of credit to agree to the conditions and want
t~ meet with the ataff and the Planning and Traffic Departmente to ascertain
the true figure and want to be very cooperative. He stated they do not want a
parking problem and thie is the fourth hotel their company hes built in
