would request that the dec ~ion be made and the action held in Abeyance until
the ordinance becomes eff~~tive.

request because the ordinance was not adapted ~~~ he f.elt if ~his p~tfti.oner
i~ allowed to have a public hearing befor.e an urdinance i.e effective, then
everyone else would have the same privilege.
Mr. Brown atated he felt in view of action the City c'~uncil has taken and
since Chey are asking thAt the Planning Commis~ion approve it conditionally,
he did not think tt~ere would be a problem. He stated he realized anythiny

traffic ib cor~cPrned. He noted some of Che busine~s~a have converted their
parkir~g apaces into outdoor storage.
Commissioner Mceurney suggested red cucbing at leASk cn~~ ~ the street.
Charles Eolcke, explained he is the father of one af th~: ents who
currently tc~~ins ar Kfps and refer:ed to the trAff.ic survey which indicates
that during the entire period when the sutvey waa conducted only 5 vel~icles
parked tor any substantial length ~f ~ime, and only 3 vehicles were ~arked in
excess ot l. houc. He explained that is because the E~arents ~rops the children
off and pick them up again in 4 hours. tie stated any ocher businNas in a
building oE lhis size would mean a lut more traffic pnd he thought this use
would :~ave leas impact on the parking and traffic than any ~ther use.
Con~~nissioner Bushore stated ~t~ere are other problems in addition to the
traffic and pointed out khis type use would be diluCing the indust:cial
integrity of the area wil•h childr.en coming inko the area, even though he knows
the u~e would creake less t~afEic. He stated there is also a baseball batting
cage and other gymnastic ceriters appru~ed in that same area and khe real issue
is whetFier or not this is an approprial•e use for the area. Mr. Folcke stated
there ace other gymnastic training cenCers in the Canyon Industrial Area and
that Cathy Rigby's facility will not be a:~ected by t.l~is use and if this use
is granted, Canyon ~ymnastics will be merg~ng with this fa~ility. He stated
the owners wece not aware they wece opPrating without a conditional use permit.
Co~~i~sioner Bushore explained Cathy Riyby's gym went in before the Canyon
Industrial Zone was changed ta exclude gymnastic centers and the Commission
denied that request, but it was approved by the City Co~ncil. He stated irt
1980, there was an existing athletic and body-building fa~ility at 1340 N.
Blue Gum Str.eet approved because it was to secvP l•he people working in t'ne
area and there was a health spa with a parking waiver at 5417 E. La Palma
granted for a two-year period; however, it never went tnto effect, based on a
problem with their lease; and that the cequ~ t For a gymnastic academy at the
southeast corner of La Palma an~ Tustin Ave~,ue was denied in 1979, and another
gymnastic center at 138.1 N. Kraemer was denied b.y the Planning Cemmission and
City Council. He stated he was under the impression that tt~e Canyon Gymnastic
C~nter was giving classes; however, the der_ision today is whether or not this
is an appropriate use in an appropriate area.
Mr. '.~lcke stated a gymnastic team cou~d nok exist in a-iy other type of
facility because they need the huge open space witt, high ceilings. He stated
Kip'c is more than a gymnastic team and is nationally cecognized and hosts
probably the most promi~ent gymnastic invitational in the country and
explained that meet would not be held at this facility, but would be at one of
the local colleges. He explained they have been in business for almost 20
years and ace leaving Fullerton bec~use the facility is no longer adequate and
an industrial building is the o;~ly thing that could accommodate them.

a total of 56 parking spaces and there ace five existing carpo~ts at the
present time and they currently have 52 tenents with 35 cacs and he would not
expect the ratio to change in the future.
Mr. Ford stated Paye 9-c o~ the staff report indicates that the proposed
number of parking spaces is not adequate foc the proposed converaion and that
neither he noc Mr. Singer, City Trafffe Engineec, believe that is true and if
necessary, he could convert some of the regular size open spaces ko smaller
compact car pa~king spaces. He stated Variance No. 2369 was passed in 1972,
permitting a 32-unit apartment complex with 48 parking spaces and there are
only 32 units with 56 parking spaces now and he fElt perhaps there is already
a variance approved that will cover this request. He stated he is an
experienced apartment operator and would not request a variance for parking i f
he thought it would create a proDlem.

was divided in t o a clubhouae or pool room which could be used for a m~altitude
oE purposes, i n cluding use of the ceatrooms when a pecaon is using the pool.
He noted the pool is at the one end of the camplex and he khuught the restroom
could be uaed by the tenants that have to come Erom the other end oE the
complex lo use the pool. tie stated, however, he i~ more concerned about khe
precedent that would be aet with approval of this request and evecyone would
want lo conver t their pool roomr~ or laundry rooma intu a living unit.
Paul Singer, Tr affic Engineer, stated it is his feeling regardinq any parking
waivers in res i dential areas, espe~ially ~partment complexes, that appcoval
would cause a precedent, but in thi.e p~articular case, this conversion would
not impact thi 3 particular area; however, he did not wish to go on recurd as

possibly it may not be a problem in this on~~ case, but generally he want~ to
be consistent i n r~c~mmending against any waivers in residential apartment
complexes.
Chairman Herbs t stated the complex met the Code reyuirements at the time it
was constructe d, but because of the new parking requirements, the parkin9 is
inadequate and if it was a new project being propoRed, the Comtni~sion would

tt~ere are onl y 28 units and the applicant stated there has never been a
parking problem. Corturissionec Kinq ~as concerned because he had understood
that thE Traff ic Engineer had indicated appr~val of this waiver. Mr. Singec
stated he wou 1 d like to stay consistent with his recommendations regarding
parking waiver s for apartment complexes, especially due to the problems
generally exp~ rienced in apa tment complex ar.eas because of the congested
Farkin~, but i n this specific czese, he did not believe this a~di.tional unit
wo~~lu~ make a g tieat deal of diff erence; however, as a principle and not to

the area. He sL•ated when the property direct.ly to the north wa~ proposed for

Patrick Hucley, ownec, stated he and his wife have purchased the pro~~erty from
the other part owner~ and are ctiirrently p:oposing 44, 1 And 2-bedroom
Apartment units with two Gclatively minor waivers. He stated khey are
request~ng two-story units within 15Q feet of Mr. Dloom's aingle-tamily
structure and that would be Mr. B.loom's property and they have met with Mc.
Bloom and have a letter of eupport Erom him. He read a copy of the letter and
pcesented a copy to the Plann~ng Commission. He statP~3 they also met with Mr.
Suyarman who previously op~osed the m~~re intense project and Mr. Roger
6'riermuth oC the Homeowners Association for the candominium project and their.
only concern was that 6 of the carporta might come up Above the wAll line and
they have decided wt~en they get the gtading plan and see it doeyRCOme up
higher, they wfll move it t~ the east ar west. He ctat.ed Mr. ~3d0~ is
considering constructiny a 2-story praject in tr.e future and is not opposi~~g
this request. He stated they have ayreed to landscape an the northeast s:~9e
where the substation is located to enhanc~ the t~nank's view and to give ~~:r.
Bloom as much privacy a~ p~ssible. He ceferred to the size of the units and
pointed out it only applies to 4 units and all of the other units excee~, the
minimum.
Roger Fxiermuth, 2671 Meadowview, .Anaheim, stated he is speaking f.~r himself
and the Meadowview Park Homeowner's Asso~iakion, and they are the nei~~t~bocs to
the south of the project. He skated khP waivers requested do not dic+,ctly
affect them, but kheir biggest concecn was the structures adjacEnt to the
property line; r_hat they have small privace backyaxda which hack up ~~o the
property line and ttiey resent somewhat having stru~tures built directly on the
pr~perty line. He atated when he requesled permission to put up a~atio
cover, he was told it had to be 5 feek from the ~roperty line and that this
developer is proposing to be within 1 Eoot of khe property line. Ne state~9
there will be landscaped setbacks on trre other neighbors' sides, but they we:e
not offered a land~caped setbac:k, and, unfortunately neither af these items
are pertinent to the waivers r~quested. He stated he did diacus~ this with
Mr. Hurley and he indicated he would make some arrangements to relocate the
g.~rages if there is a visual intrusion. He stated he wants to go on record
that he is not fully appreciative of this pro~ect.
'PHE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSEV.
Commissioner Fry stated the only request before the Planning Commission is the
2-story wfthir~ 150 feet and the reduction of the unit size and he Lhought this
would be an outstanding development.

There were nine peraons in~9lcating thPir pcesence in oppoaitiun t~ subject
request and although the stafF report was not reac3, it is referred lo And made
u pact A£ the min~tes.
Hugo Vazyu~z, authorized ayerit, stated it is their intent to develop a 40-unit
aEfocdable apartment complex with 258 of the unita being as~igned to Section 8
Housing and ~hose units would conaist of 6, 2-bedroom, 1-bath, 854-square f.oot

units renting for $411 per month for a period of 5 year~. Ne referred tv a
color rendecing of the project. He stated the request for waivec of minimum
buil~iny site Area per dwEl.liny unit is necesrary because th~y are providing
'l58 0~ ttie units for afEo~dable hausing.
Uscar Gcebnec, 134 S. M~gnoliA, stated he repreaents the 6q property owners in
the condominium project at 134 S. Magnolia and presented ~~etition eigned by
83 reaidenta who oppos~ this ~roposal. He rtaked the ~irst question is why
increase the density of the populatiun in an area where there are already 11
large apartment and condominium complexcs within 1 block of this pr~posed
~tructure with an additi~nal 30-unit con'omi~~ium prcject propoaed to go in
rfght next door on the weat side and stated the neighborhood is already
overbuilt. He stated thei: second cancern is khat this project w~uld add an
appreciable amount of traffic to Magnolia and Lincoln which are already highly
congested main arteries. He stated their third concer.n ia that this project
would require additional on-~tceet parking spACes and the ~rea is presently
over-parked on both sides of Lincoln and Magr.olia. He stated the f~urth
concern is the proposed waivec for a 10-foot enrroachmer.t inta the 35-foot
front setback area whiGh would possibly set a pceceden~: celaxing similac
protective ordinances in the City and Chere would prob+;ibly be childcen in each
of the two-bedroom units for a posaible 27 additional :hildren and that is a
reduction in the minimum square footage of the units and he did not think
there rrould be ~deguate space for children and the proposed recreational areas
would include t•o a lacge ext~~nt, ~he enclosed patios and floor decks and the
spa would only gerve adulks a~d the swimming pool would only be usable whEn
adu.its are present.
Mr. Vazquez st~sted they had not expected opposit.ion fram
ownecs. He scated the need for inereased density is d~:e

Concerr~+ng ki~e encroact~ment fnl~ the set!>ack are~-, he ~xplained th~t is due to
a stairway down the front. Mr. Vazquez stated his mair~ concern was the
intcuaion into a~~meane'a privacy and chey did go to great l.engths wikh staff
ka design the project so it would nak affect the ~djoining neighbor's
~rivacy. Ne c~tated tt~ia will be a v~ry high quality affordable apartment
project.
TNE PUBLIC NEP.RING WAS CLOSEU.
Chairm~n Elerbr~t stated he doe~ not like khe encroachment into Lincoln Avenue
because it would really set a preceiient Eor. other ap~rtmpnt pcojecta and he
was also bothered because the unik~ wou:ld only be a~fordable foc 5 yeaca and
approval of these vartances givez~ the owners of this pcoject a lok more
cevenue than he feels they are e~ntitled ta for just 8 units Eor a 5-year
period.
Mc. Vazquez claicifed th~e square footage of the 2-bedroom units is 85~1 square
feet and explained at the present timP they have already submitted a letter of
ayreement for a t~ond issue to have a bond ~laced on the pcoperty and they have
entered into a 10-,ye~r agcaement; and that at the present time their agreetnent
with the Community Dr_velopment Departmer~t ls for 5 years, but th~~y are tal;ing
their beat shot ~c get bond financing. t1e explained bond financing would be a
permanent loan a-~d that it would be through tt~e County of Ocange and the bond
issue har~ not yet. been approved.
Commissionet 8ust~ore read a portion of Council Policy No. 543 in that the City
may allow ~5~ nore units over the overwise allowable residential density
and/ r sucli ~thec site development waivecs as the City may wish to grant. He
stated he would like to see affordbble pro~ects in the future constructed with
the number and size required by Code, and then review the project to see wh~t
waivers are neces~ary to meet that density, because he does not like to have
the square footage oE the ~nits reduced and waivers of the setback and height
structures. He ataked the Commisaion has not e~~en talked about the Planning
Commission policy tor a 20-foot setback adj~ining residential propertie~~ He
stated he is not just going to give the store away anymore fn the ~~ame of
aftordability; that he sees rhe market that is being created and it is the
Commission's re~pansibility to see that the market does not get ~ut of hand.
He atated t~e sees the projects being sold long before they are built, based on
the number of units. He atated he cannot support this beca~se there is no
hardship on the pcoperty and th~ apartment project next door came in w~th no
waivers. He stated he wou~d like to see th~ project redesigned, based on 1200
square feek per unit average and then see what waivers would be necessary to
accomplish that.
Mr. Va:.quez stated the property is eoughly 51,277 square feet and RM-1200
Zoning would allow 42 to 43 units and the project wan designed for that
number, but 12,000 square feet were deleted because the driueways were over
12U feet in length. He stated there were two other projects juat recently
appcoved which had driveways exceedf~g 120 feet i.n length and the sguare
footage was not deducted.
9/5/84
MINUTEB, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSIO_N_~__5EPTEM~ER 5, 1984 84-566
Commiesioner Bushore asked about the d~duction of the 12~~00 equare feet.
Greg Hastings sCated any driv~way that is ~ver 120 feet in length is deducted
from the groea squar~ footage.
Reapondir.g to Commiasioner Bushore, Mc. Vazquez etated th~ driveways were n~t
deducted on Sterling Carlson'a pro3ect ~n Ocange, just west af western and the
one located on the ~outh aide of eall Road just east of Heach Houlevard which
wes approved on Auqust 6. He stated thE only way to keep from t~aving thut
area deducted would be to ~ut the gar~ge underground another Eive feek. He
stated those two projects mentioned were not down five feet and are proposed
to be the same depth as thia proposal. He atated that is somethin~i the
planning DeFartment is reviewing and conaidering the possibility oE not
deducting the driveways ~n the future. Greg Hasting~ clarified ther~ are some
deffcienciea in the Code and that is one that the Planning Depurtment is
currently reviewing.
Commiasioner Bushore st<ited he feels rhe Commission has tu review these
aFfordable projects on the has~s that the developec will sell the project when
the five-year periad is over. He stated the developer can cevi~e the plar~.s
and show Commission what waivers arp necessary to put the 40 unita on the
property with 120U-aquare ~oot units. Mr. Vaz~uez atated waivec lc) is
necessary only because of the 12000 square foot deduction.
Cha~rman tfe[bst stated there is a 2-story structure within 20 feek of a
single-family res:6ential area and he would not vot~~ foc that because the
Commission has not approved anything that close. Mr. Vazquez stated therP are
no windows facinq thQ single-family residence.
Ghaicman Herbst a~ked if the petitionec would like a continuance or. a vote.
Cortu~~i~sioner La Cla+~e stated she is concerned about the density and creating
a density that is on-goiny. She stated the Planning Commission met with City
Council regarding senior citizen housing and wece advised that th~y should be
very careful about gtanting these kinds of projects and it became the policy
of the City to be very careful with increased density. She stated the project
lool~s overcrowded and is just too denae for th~s pcoperty. She stated ~he
knows there is a need for affordable apartments.
Mc. Va2qu~z responded to Commiss~oner pouas that the other 2-bedroom, 1-bath
units would rent for ~60U pec month and the 1-bedcoom units would cent Erom
$~95 to $525 per month. He asked what the Cortuniasian wanta to see in
affordability.
Chairman Herbst stated he does not want to see affordability at the expense of
the neighbors and the single-family homeowners deaerve the protection of the
Commission. Mr. Vazquez stated this project is 40 feet from the single-family
homes and asked for some guidelinea from the Commission for redesign of the
project.
Chairman Her~st sta~ed he does not like the encroachment on Lincoln or the
encro~.chment to the single-family residential areas and that the swimming pool
is adjacent to someone's backyard and a 20-foot setback is important and the
patios ace even encroaching i~to that aetback. He staked the Commission has

Mr. Yazquez atated he would like a one-month continuonce.

Jack White, Assiatant City Attocney, explained at the next City Council
meeting their off.ice is proposing ~ new ordinance which will require that
any extensions of time on existing conditional ~~se permits or variances
will be done throu9h a nuticed public hearing. He akated this is baaed
on their reading of exi.~ting caee laws ~egarding the requirement for due
process tu suzrounding property owners. He stated he would suggest that
the Planning Commission either deny the~p cequests requiring the
petitioners to file for a new permit or vaciar-ce in ~rder to allow the
adaacent property owners to receive noticQ and to have the right to tell
the Cammission their feelings.
Commiasioner Fry indicated concern that this new ordinance will require
khose petitioners to pay a whole new fee to process a new application and
they have historically been told tha- if there was no complaints, that in
all likelihood their permits would b~ renQwed automat.icatlx and thiE
ordinance w~uld be changing the rules and he did nct think it would be
f.aiK to thuae previous applicants.
Jack White stat~d the new fee would be ~~0 rather. than the entire fee and
stated the balance has to be weighed whether or not it is fair t~ the
surrounding property awnpts not to be notified when an extension is being
considered.
Continuances for the three K~ports and Recotnmendations on today's agenda
were discussed with Jack ~hite pointing out two of the Reports, (a) and
(b), are both for retroactive extension~ of time and he did nok see any

UTNER DIS~USSION:
(1) Chaicman Hecbat referred to a letter submitted to the Planning Commission
by Patricia Scanlan regarding Conditional Use Permit No. 26J.2.
Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, explained the
petitioner had two concerns pertaining to the ~esolution of. appcoval.
Une was the tetm 'elderly' whir.h wa~ used instead of 'senior citi2en".
She $tated "senior citizen' has a certain definition in the State
guidelines and will be in the City's guidelines as a peraon 62 years of
age ~r older and that she would suggeat the term "elderly" be changed to
`older adult'. She explained the ~the~ ~oncern was with the conditian
limil•iny the use to this particular petitioner and the petitioner wasn't
sure all the Comm:psioners Eully undesstood the impact.
Commissioner Fry stated the condition appeared in the resolution exactly
as it was intended.
Commissioner Buahore stated he had talked with Ms. 5canlan and explained
to her that the condition was as h~ intended; however, he did not know
when he made the motion that tt~e proper way to to it was wilh a covenant,
and he had suc~gested ohe appeal the rnakter to the Cuunail. He stated it
was not his intent to prohibit the sale or use of ~tie property in any
way. He stated he was concprned about the broad approval for that
specific propert.y in that specific area.
Commissioner La Cla;re stated in this case, the permit was granted for
the specific use and also it was to expire when she se11s the property.
Jack White~ Assistant City Attocney~, explained if the majarity of the
Comn~ission int2nded that this condition be included in the resolution
when they voted, there is nothing the Gommissi~n can do wikhout holding
another public heacins; however, if that wasn't their intent, it eould be
