decent, but that was oot what was built. He stated those are the questi.ons

this rr~quest. He st~ted the City is r.cyiny ta rebuild r_he downtown ar.ea and
r.his to~~+er ia not goi.ng to hel.p.
Mr. Sr.okes stared the only *wo al*er.na~{ves r.~~ar, t~e can aee would be ko cemove
t.hem enrir.eiy and place them in another locati.ont howevec, Pacific Betl does
nar hav~ anathe~ ]ocation whece ft~ey can E~ur them and provide ~he same
secvice. lie sr.a~:ed ~he second auggestion would be to locate the an~ennas
within kh~ exisr_tny skrucr..ur.e and tha~ 1a rechnic~lly not. feasib]e.
Commissioner. Nerbsr_ euggested pu-:~i.ng khem on one of the hills in the ar.ea and
suggested maybe r_hey shoulci purchaRe some propecty tf khey don't have any
becauae this is not a good inskal]ation in ~he downr.own acea and does no*. do

and rezoning of his bl.ock was not denied.
Commtssionec La ClAir.E stated Che zoning cannnt be changed for smal ] a~eas
with unl.y five huuses in the center being r.ezoned. She stated there has to be
something difEecent about a pro~~ecty beEore a varisncP can be qr.anted. She
stated t:his woulcl be detcimenta] to the netghborhood becausc oE the shortage
of the patktng epaces and in her opinion tezoning would be ":~pot zoni.ng". She
added in the Eutur.e ~t a.ll the neiyhbocs gef together so that small ar.eas wil~
not be zoned differently, c:hen the Commtssion wt1.] be willing to gr.ant a
r.ecl.asai.fication of tt-e whole ar.ea.
Mr.. Hunter. 3t.ated his proper.ty is ~ucrounded, except for t~ts neighbors on the
other. s~.de of North Street, with RM-1200 and RM-24t~0 Zoning.
Commissi.oner Herbat stated the Commission will not re~lassify one pxoperty
because it will be "spot zoning" ; however, if the whale area i.s rezoned, i.t
gives the ownecs the chance to combine their lots and make a sutkable
developmentt and that this is a 52-fook lok whict- ts not r.ea]]y suttable for
multiple-~amily units~
Mr. Hunter stated he unde~stands that Anah~~m zoning laws go by square footage
and he has 720U square feet on his lot.
Commiss ioner Bushore stat:ed he hates to hear about it when a ~~a] estate
person calle khe City Planning Department and talks About a speci.fic ptece of
p~oper.ty and asks the Plannfng Depactment etaff how many units can be built on
that particul.ar pcopecty and the staff inember gives h~m a rough estimate which
could be ttieoretical.ly developed; and then khe r.eal estate per.son puts that
inf.ormation i.nto the mu]tipYe-lxsking i.ndicat.tng the City has said that nu:nber
can be developed, but nothing can be developed until. the plans are submitted
and if they meet Codes and waivets are not required, then that number of units
coul.d be devpl.oped. He stated t2~e Cornmissionecs told the p~titioner in April
what they would be willing to considec. He staked this would not wock and
this is not good pl.anning and is not goo~9 real estate fcom the City of
Anahei~m's perspective.

sell soft dr.inks or. anacks and the secvtces are pr.ovided as a convenience to
~ecsons who are ther.e ~~urchasing gasoline or. t~aving their vehicles tuned up.
He stated the City ordinance allows the sale of such items, but it doea say
they are to be aul.d out of vending machines. He atated r.hi.s involves hhe aa]e
of the same it~ms, but they woul.d be fr.eahe~ fr~~m open racks and this does not
i.nvolve any kind of new constr.uGtion on the premi~es nor. increase the size of

Responding to Commissioner Bushoce, Paul Si.nger, Traffia Eng.lneer, stAted his
cecommendatiun was made to close t.he driveways on khe other pcoposals to both
the Planning C~mmission and the City Council because it has been pr.oven time
and ti~me again that the drive~ays closest to the interaectfons are a dir.ect
cause of coll.is~ons and in those instances, he thought he had made the
cecommendations and that the Planning Commission and City Counctl had der,~ded
not to requi.re their cl.osures.
Mr. Davis cl.acified that the Commission call~ed for the closing of the
dciveways and the City Council, in their wtsdom, felt that because the request
was onl.y to sell. items out of vending machines, i.t would be unfair. to impose
the expense of cloa~ng khe driveways.

chak it ehoul.d have a black wall. fance between it: and the nu~sery achool and
khere shou~.d be screening and tt should be ecreened from r.he nelghbor.hood
completely. She akar.ed she undecekanda the n~~ighbor.'s feara end maybe the

Commisatoner La Claice stated she does not want tu lose this hosptr.a] to our.
neighborhoodJ and that she ahe does not want to l08@ ~t to Anaheim because it
1o needed ver.y much. She stated she doPS take an unp~pu]ar stance on the
Commisaion at times, but nhe would .like to cee r.hie fact.ltty tn this areA.
Commiesioner Her,bat stated the Commiasion hac heard about a lot of thingR, bur.
nothing about the security. He asked what i.s planned because of the common
~riveways and per.king lots.
Dr. Lewis stated khe Pol.ice Depar.tment drew up a security pl.an and par.t of
that tncl.uded some lock boxes and they wanted the 24-houc aecur..ity guard and
kh~y wtl] follow thetr recommendattons fncluding the 1~ghti.ng. He stated the
bl.ock wA].Xs between the hosp[r.al and pr.e-school will nor. be a pr.obl.emt r.nar. he
talked with Revecend Stone a~ the chu~ch and because of che way the par.ktng
pl.an ia aet up, they will have somE~ ~hared ~acking wtth the chur.ch and because
they have some cecovering grou~s that meet at the church, the pastor was more
comforkab~e wiCh this hospital than some of the other neighbors and thece
seemed to be a spirtt of ccoperarion. He stated it wil.l be difficul~ to
separat~ them tcom khe church becauae of rne ahared parking on eome daya.
Commi.ssioner Her.bsk stated he is concer.ned because there ts ~eally no
separation; that ther.e is nothing to r.eal.ly akap the kids from ~usr, walki.ng
out. Dr. Lewib stated the wa~ds ar.e ].ocked and when rhe ktds leave the wards,
they are supervised and have etatf wi.th them. t~e added thece te pcesent.ty a
six-fo~~t wall around the entire property.
Comm~ssioner Herbst pointed out he is concecned about the ar.ea frcm the tnaide
out to the driveway, and the parking lot, and asked how ik would be d{vided.
Ms. Bliss sta~ed part of the Police secur~ty pl.an included a r.o]ling gate.
Commissioner Herbsr staked the Commission does not have the Police repork.
Ms. Bliss explained thece is a aecurity gar.e at khe fcont entry which ts a
rolling gate.
Greg Hastings, Assistant Planne~, stated the recommended condittons include
the Police Department's recommendatinns.
Chairwoman Bouas Asked if the patients can have kheic own cac at the facility,
with Dr. Lewts r.esponding they cannot keep their car, at the faci.ltty. He
explatned the other fac~lities do have a~rt+aller. similar recreat~onal arPa and
ak both sites, tt-ere is a combi.nation basketLall a~d volleyball couct and ~
pool, and they will have a picnic area with bar.becues.
Ms. Bliss pointed out the six-Foot high block wal.l and the locatiun of the
proposed gate.
Gceq Hast~ngs s:ated apparently thece is a block wall. existing adjacen~ to the
s~ngle fam~ly hor~~es, and the pcopecty line to the east is backed up with

aide of the project and he thought the~e wa~ aome kalk dbuut pukting in a
fence separating the day cace center, as we]l. as the church er~a.
Ms. B~iss pointed out the l.acation of the proposed gate and khe exisriny
6-fook high block wal.]. and explained it was rheir intent, iE the owner so
desired, to provide a block wall al.ong the cea~ of both rhP pr.operttes~
however, there are two problems which they wi]1. ceaolve in whatever mannec ts
moat expedttious for the community and the city. She atated the Pol~ce wanted
the security guard to have a cleac view al.l the w~y aroundt that the Pol.tce
asked that the security guar.d be given a c1.eaG l.ine of si.ghk {.nto the adjacent
proper.ties which mean~ cha~nltnk fence, however, they wou]d be happy to
nrovide a b~ock wall f~r that visual aeparation. She atated r.he other
difficulty ie that Casa Bonita has hheir tr.ash picked up at fhe cear of their
property and there is not enouyh coom Qn the.ic pcemiaes any placE elae for th~
traah haulec to come in and get the tr.ash, so whar_ever fence is buil.t on thQir,
premises, needs the kind of ~nclosuce that wil..l be gated on their ~ide so they
wil.l. have access to their tcash.
Ka~en English, Anaheim Police Departmenr, potnted out thetr ~~*ention
cegarding the locatton of the gate.
Paul. Singec, Traffic E~ngineer, stafeu in ordsr to make the par.king wock for.
khe church and khis Lacility and the day care center, and ao thak tt-,e entir~e
property will wor.k frori a cicculation and acces~ skandpoinr., khe entire acea
should be free to b~ circuiated uponj that the secutity r.he Police Depactment
and the nei9hbors wil] need is to segregate the acea where the pari.ents wt1.1
be. He pointed out they wtll be beh.ind the E~nc~ 8epararing the open area and
the docmitories fcom the rest ~f the circulatton on the site.
Commiasioner La Clai.re stated thar p.tan makes a lot of aen~c and it means that
the pat~ents at any one time will be 100 feet fcom Che day care center.
Dr. Lewia expl.ained the procedure if one of the kids leave; that fir.st a sr.aEf
per~on woul.d go out and look for them; second, the parent:s are called since
rhey uaual.ly go immed~lately home ho~ing to talk r.hetr par.ents into letting
them s~ay home by telling them how bad ~hey have been tceated, etc., and the
procedure is to also ler the Pallce know just in case somethtng were to happen
to the child.
Comm~esioner, Bushore stated with 49 beds and an average stay of 3Q days, he
woula like to know khe max~mum number that would be tzeated on a yeaKly basis,
and iridicated he thought it would be about 40U to 500 patients a year.
Dr. Lewis stated foc the Rext two years, they will~ unly have 20 beds since
they have to bu.ll.d the facility for the othec 29. He stated with the
male/female ratios, thece would ~robably be about l6 or 17 k:tds.
Commissioner La Cla~re stated she wou,ld like Ld have a compromise and asked
Dr. Lewis to stipul.ate to only havfng 20 patients in the hosp~.tal for khe
first year, then see how it goes for the community and see if it does cause
ttny tcemendous problems and she thought the community will fi.nd that they do
not even know that it is thece. She state~ 1E the permi.t was approved for one

Urange Caunky o~ people who have had di.fficulty wtth substance abuae who wou]d

Cainmi.asi~ner Her.bat suggested An cight-£oot hi.gh block wall all the way around
the E~roper.ty, except acrass the acces~. He skoted the only wAy he could vote
for anything li~e this i,s with moce secur.ir.y.
Commissioner Bushor.e sr.ated Dr. Lewis has not satd r.haF. he would b~ willi.ng h.o
go along with the suggestions, putting in all the improvements, etc., on a
one-year basis, knawin9 r.hat he wil.l. have to re-apply and all there people
will be notified again. He stated when it c~men up again, all these netghbors
w~ll be nottFied again and if they come ouc i.n Eorce like r_hts again and if
there have been problems an~ rher.e aze even ~ne ~r twa Police ceports, i.r
coul.d ~ut this right down the tubes,
Dr. Lewis stated the state will. nor. issue the licenAe without the Ctty's
aCproval., and wi~l not issue tiie license for a shor.t ker.m bafiis.
Commissioner, Bushare asked whar. •acute psychiatric car.e' is. Dr. Lewis stated
a subatance abusec is never treared tn a chroni.c fa~i7ity such as Camarillo,
oc some portions of Nurwalk, and acuke iE gener.all.y de£ined as something
between 35 and 6U days and pusaibly as long as aix months, but that is no~
normal.
~ommissioner La Claire stated acute care is foc a pecson who has been very
depr.essed foc sever.al. weeks and r.hey go to an acute faci).ity because {t 4s a
temporary situatiQn and a chconic situation is w~~ere ~omebody is hospttalized
£oc years, so the acute cenkec is fot someone who is less diaabled.
Chaxcwoman Bouas indica~ed concern that this factlt.ty coUld be changed fo~
older p~opl.e, etc. Dr. Lpwis gkaked the state probably would not approve
anythiny except foc adolescents; thak a Eacility at Weste~n was just gcanted a
certificate of need for geriatric psychiatric ca~e so the adolesaent ts the
only area where the sta~e will considec ltcenses.
Chairwoman Bouaa pointed out the state ha~ recently g~anted a license for an
acute cace fa~ility foc adolescents in Anaheim at Anaheim Memoc~al Hospita.l.
Commissioner Bushore stated acute to hxm means that tt~e situation has reached
a puint whece the person needs some fask professional help. He stated he
realixes thece ace wor.se people walk~ng the streets, but havtng 99 in one
place cou~d be a problem, because only one out of tt,e 49 could be a threat.

even he dues like the project.
Commi3si~ner La Claire ytated there may be a possibility that everyone in the

increasing their property value and getting out of the traffic area.
Dav:ld Col.lir~s stated he thought it would be a very difficult siLUation to try

zoning, iE it was for some other use. He stateci they ace probably gai.ng to

wock and he doss not plan to ever sell the property be~ause he fel.t that
cocnec is a very valuable pi~eee of landt and thak they feel the bed and

Planning Commission's dec~sion wih_hin 22 days t~ the City Counr.il.
Mt:. Collins ask~ed if they could subTi.r an appl.ica~ion foc a coiidittonal uae
per.mit fo= a bed and break£ast xnn on this si~e. Gseg Ha$tinc~E~ stated neither.
the ~R Zone nor the FS-7200 zone allow CUPs foc bed and bceakfast inns.
Jack White staked the suggestion was to fil.e an appli.cati.on fo~ a conditional
use permit f-oc a motel in the current RS-7200 ~one and the only way that could
be done is if the Planni.ng D~rectoc was wil.ling to detecmine that mohels ace
similar to ac compatible wi*_h singl.e-family residences and he had doubts that
the Planning Dicectoc would be able to make ~k~at determinatian; how~vec, ~_he
aQpl.icant should contact tt, Pl.anning Depaztment if he wishes r.o pursue tha*_
proposal..
Reapond~~ig to Mr. Cnlli~ns, Greg Hastings s*_ar_ed the bed and b~e•akfast inn on
Walnut Street was in Chs RS-A-43,000 Zone. Mc. Collins potnted ou~ tha~
pcoperty is sucrounded by RS-7200 Zoning and thah wou].d be constdered 'spot

because it woul.d be `SpOt zoning`, He stated anythi.ng can go on behind their.
backs and he is opposed because *_t-is arna is r~lready congea~ed and Eaat Stceet

and the request was dented. Ne atated if this ir approved, he did not know
haw the Commission couxd deny the same request to anyone plae on Eflat Street.
Ne sLated he loaked at the plans and it calls for nine unila with 18 parking
spuceaJ and stated that would be Cine as long as the units were orcupicd by a
single-family, but in the houseR on the street Coday and thr~uyhout the entire
heighborhoo~, there xs i~o such thing as a single-family ~ecupency of a

owners of the praperty are not Fr~m the area and are trying to convert thi.s
into a money-making pro~ect and he objects to rhat.
Commisaioner Herbst stated thio property i~ already zoned for a~~rtments an~
there is no reyueat for zezoning.
Greg tiastings stated the ma~ority of tl~e prc~pecty on Chat side of the street
i.s under a cesolution ~f intent to the FM-1.7.U0 2one and it has been zoned t:hat
wny since 196b.
Anni.ka San~alahti sta:ed in Nraccice wikh the one-sto~y height limitations, it
is ~robably f~ir.ly sa[e '.~~ as~ume that about one-•nalf the number of units
could be c~nstr~ctec3 witt~~out wafvers under the Code.
Victoria Gomez, 735 N. easr„ rt;ated she is concerned because there is a
pre~schaol about L-wn blocks from subjec~ property and they do not want more
cars or strangers in tr~e area; and that right behind hec home there is a
rental proper.Cy and Che tenants move about every other month and they do not
want ko have more stranyers coming in and out of theic neighbarho~d and they
want thelr homes to be their dream h~mes.
CacCie Beeuon, 1'l19 E. Wilhelmina Street, atas:ed subject property is abo~~t two
luta away from her property and several years ayc thiq same praperty, along
with other lots, was clenied a cequest foc apactments and also the request to
construct an all~y from La Palma to Wilhelmina Street which would hr~ve gone
right through her bedroom, was denied. She stated this property is 27U feet
deep and if one apartment is allowed, there will be more cequests for
apartments on the north and south side of tt~is pro~erty and that she would
propose it stay K-1.
Annika Santalahti explained the property is currently zoned 1~M-120Q which does
permit apartments; that the zoning was approved for that particulax area in
1968 and there were conditions including dedication for street frantage and
payment of fees and she believed the zoning for this particular property was
finalized to RM-120U i.n 1978.
Commiesioner HusnoKe stared the petitioner's request is for two stories within
150 feet of single-family zoned property and all the rest of the requests
would be allowed by righ~.
