w:.tt~ the builder concluded that the maximum that could be built on the

basically the same project was proposed and with the cooperation of the
developer and the P].anning Commission, they are acting a~ a buffer zon~~ for
the single-family homes. He stateci the existi.ng adjacent apartments were
originally proposed as twu-story units, but were adjusted to one story with a
10-foot high dividing wall. He stated they are very concerned about
increasing the tcaffic load on Weatern Avenue and there hc~ve been several
Eatalities at that corner and they have requested that the City provide a
left-turn signal, but that has not been accompliahed. He stated there is also
a traffic hazard because of the school. He staked they are not in any way
opposed to change and have aup~orted change in the paet and they have been
there for a long time and have seen a lot of things happen and kno~ the
property ha~ to be developEd to its best possible use, but they wuuld like the

kie atated he is willing to increase the height of the wall on the north to 10
feek and also pruvide shrubbery and tr.ee$ Lhat would hide the wall.
Dob Williams, Williatns De~ign Graup, explained they tcied to design tl~is

with two driveways, but L•he Traffic Engineer And neighbarhaod did nc~t want

'rHE PU~LIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Ch3ir.man Herbst asked if the developer was aware of Ghe Planning Commisaion's
poli.cy requiring the setback to single-fami~y zoned prnperties. Mr. Wi11i~mE
staked he did riot know a~out that policy. Chairman Nerbst stated the
Commiasion has nevec allowed two-•story unita thbt close to single-family homes
ar~d noted this property was previously approved for garden-type units.
Mc. Williams stated they did a study on different req~.~ests apprnved next to
single-iamily zones by the Pl~nning Commiaaion and pcesent~d A liat of the
projects approved as close a~ 9 feet ta sinqle-family zones.
Commibsioner Bushoce stated it d~esn't mattQr what has been done in the past,
and that each p~oject has Lo stand on its own.
Chairman Herbst stated if tt~ey ace ~oing to provide a setback, the whole
project would have tn be moved; and that there is no ptotection provided Eor
the single-fami.ly neighbors and he thought thece could be a compromise and the
20-foot setback waived if the wall is built and the two story is eliminated on
that portion of the property.
Commissioner La Claire stated she was sure the applicant had designed ttie
project in good faith and she realized past pro~e~ts are reviewed by the
developers. She stated the south side of the Propecty is ad~acent to
commercial property and there is a 13-foot setback so she thought
approximately 4 feet could be utilized for landscapiny. She stated this area
~as mostly apartnents and ehe thaught ~~partmenks would be a good buffer to
that residential zone. Concerning the 150-foot setba~k, she explained several
years ago the Commission and Council got to~ether t,o discusa whether or not
that setUack should be changed or if it was reas~nable and discussed it at
great lenyth and decided to leave it as it is so that ~ndividual pcojects
could be reviewed by the Commission. She stated everyone realized when the
ordinance was first established, the ].50 feet made sense and now it doesn't,
especi.ally in an area that is already developed with RM-2200, with a
resolution af intent to RM-1200 on the east side, and she thought there is
some room for compromise in the 150-foot setback requirement. She stated ln
this request they already have 22 feet which is a driveway where there is no
~arking and including the extra 4 feet gained fcom the other side, she felt
this could be a reasonable request.

~il.l Fifield, agent, presented a colored rendering of the propoaed pro~ecC and
explained iC does involve thc~e 50-foot wide lots with a frontage on Ohio of
150 feet. He sta~ed they ~re proposing 2-hedcoom, 2-bathroom unite. Ne
fucl•her explained they have executed a letter oE underatanding with the City
oE Anaheim and e~tered into sn a5reement with them to mnke this an affordable
apartment complex. He sta~ed they will alsa be partici~ating in ~ bond

variance Eur khe trash enclosure3, they would cansider moving them an
additional 5 feet. He stated the request is for 24 units which ia 258 more
than the zone allows, but they hope by making tt~em affordable units, that
bonue will be gran~ed. He stated rather than a~idewalk, they have atepa
becau~e of tuck-under ~arking.
THE PUaLIC HEARING WAS CL05ED
Commissioner Bushore asked iE the trash enclosures wauld be adequate
volume-wise and location-wi3e. Greg Hastings cesponded t.here is a condition
included requiring they meet standards of the Sanitati~n Division.
Annika Santalahti stated it is po~sible they may have to expand and Paul
Singer stated if that is the cASe, they wou.id have to intrude into a parking
space. Mr. Fifield stated they will comply with ~f~al•ever the conditions of
approval are.
Commisaioner Bushore stated approving this in this area would be setting a
standard for everything that will be developed in the future between Lincoln
and Oroadway. He ~tated there will be a lot oE traffic taking acr,ess off the
alley and Chat this is really a den3e project.
Chairman Herbst stated he realizes the State allows a 258 density bonsus for
a~fordable apartments and asked how long they intend to keep the project. Mr.
Fifield statpd they have entered into an agreement with rhe City which will be
foc 20 years or the life of the bond which w~uld be no less than 10 yeacs.
Chairman Herbst stated some of khese affordablA projects which have been
approved for just 5 years, certainly give tF~e property owner an advantage.
Pat Whitakec, Con~munity Housing De~artmen'~, st~ted in fact, the 20-Xear period
is in relationship to their agreement with the County of O~ange for a bond
issue which may or may not take place and there would be a separate affordable
agreement executed with the developer and the Community Development Department
for the aff•~rdable unita fo: 5 years and explained thQir prior agreements have
a.ll been for 5 years.
Chairman Herbst stated he does nol• agtee with the 5-year periad because the
project wilt be there focever and after the 5-year period, the developer can
rent the units for any amour~t he wants.
Commissioner Bushore stated based on the area and precedent *_ha*_ w~uld be set,
this project is just overbuilding the groperty.

There were two persons i~dicating their pcesence in oppoeition to subject
request and although the staff report wus nok read, it is ceferred to and made
a part oE the minutes.
Floyd L. Farano, attorney, 100 S. Anaheim Boulevard, Anaheim, explained Ron
Wells and Pete Qudriquez of VTN, Cnuck Terry, archit.ect, and Steve Hilton,
engineer with Linscott, Law and Greenspan, Traf~ic Consultants, were al.~o
present. Mr. Farano pcesented slides of a similar project. He explained the
petitioner owns and operates three or four of these pcojects at khis time and
this wfll be thE first one in Southern California. The slides presented
showed areas of the country where more seniors live, income, life expectancy
chart~ of senior citf.zens (noting women live longer than men generaily), and
that women drive or possess fewer cara than men; thak the averaye age of the
occupants wou:d be 73 years and that 85~ of khe occupants ace women. The
sl~des presented also showed the private dining rooms that the residents r.an
use f~r special occasions, and modei units with a kitchen and no ovens so that
most meals are taken in the common dining raom.
Mr. Farana stated their office did a survey of similar units and found .4
space per unit would be adequate. He stated thia development proposes to

Mc. F4rano atated Candition No. 22 deals with the parking and the applicanl• ia
willing to L•ake care of any unsatisfied parking demand; that they have ttie
ability to limit parking, but they do not think iL• will be neceseary nn~ would
agree to the condition wher.eby a parking study might be conducl•ed within a
two-yeac peciod and if it i.e found there is a parking shoctaye, thPy will do
wt~atever is necessary to provide that parkiny. He stated Ct~e development ie
aituated on the snuthweet corner of Nahl Ranch ltoa~ and Anaheim Hills Road and
th~re is no place Eor anyone to park on the street, so a pArking problem would
become apparent vecy c~uickly.
Narlan Fick, 57U Golden Sky Lane, explained hts property i~ in the Carriage
Hills tract which adjoins the proposed project on the west:. He stated they
Qbject to the parking waiver becauae of a conr.ern that this could be converted
in the future to some othet type use which would ~equire a lot more parking.
He stated probably their greatP~t concern was that it appears from the
line-of-eigtit, ~ome oE the rooflines would be 5 feet highe~ than some apots uf
Brightun Lane and they would n~t object to that if there was an assurance that
there would be maintained landscaping high enough to block tt~e view of the
roof tops.
William C. `~'al.ly, 6156 E. Morni~ngview Drive, Anat~eim, read a statement that he
is a delegate o£ tFa Royal ~ircle Village Nomeowners' As,~c~ciation, which is
comprised of 37 families liv:.ng adjacent to the proposed senior citizen
facility and the homeowners' Assoaiatian requests that tociay's hearing be
postp~ned for approximately 30 days wnich i~ the time needed to adequately
study the proposed structure, its intended use and above all, what imPact it
will have on the surrounding community. He stated the request is justified
because of the limited amount of time between notificati~n to residents and
today's hearing; and that a project of thia nature requires substantial
in-depth study to realize all the ramifications the homeowners will be faced
with in the future. He stated at face value and with no further inPormation,
it is felt a stcucture of this size, wlth its intended use and possible uses
in the future could seciously detract from the immediat.~ area causing undue
hardship on the homeowners. He stated his association ie con£ident that in
the spirit of cooperaLion and understanding, the applicant wi.ll concur with
this request and the Commission's indulgence and understandfng cegarding this
serious issue for the families of the Royal Circle village will be witnessed
by the apNroval ot a 30-day poetponement.

luoking down onto, what the raoE meteri~l will be made oE, ekc. He stated
also there will be ~ome actual cutting and grddi~g into the hill and it ie
difficult to determine the height oL• the building. He pointed out because of
~he Ful]. pisr,loaure Act, they have to tell their future homebuyera overything
about the Pr~P~rty and they are not aure what to tell them ak thia timP. He
atated kh~X would request a continupnce so they will have an opportunity to
meet wi~h the developer becAUSe they feel t.hece is also a passibilit.y ~f
blockagF: of views.
Chairman fierbat pointed aut t.hie property is zoned for commerci~l uses ~t the
preaent timE an~ if the building met ell ~he Code requiremenks, this hearing
would not be nece~sary. Mr. Cottle atated they are just concerned about the
height and perhap~ some mitigation measures auuld be taken to alleviake those
concerns.
Mr. Facano stated n~ine oE the roof-linee exceed the height of Brighton I.ane.
lie st~ted they have no problem with a continuance, however.
Ron Wells, cepresenting CPE and uTN, atated t~e is in eharge of senior citizen
pcojects throu-~hout the State of California and w~a no+~ aware there was any
opposition by the people in the neighborhood and they wauld be receptive to a
two-week continuance. He suggestpd the opposition contact him and let him
know what their concern8 are And indicated he believed they could be mitig~ted.
Cnairman Herbat stated he appceciates the developer's ayreement t~ ~~
continuance, but wanted the ~pposition to know that if the Planning ~~.~!•~~~.ission
decidea to go ahea~ with this action today, the maCter Would possibly be heard
before the City Counci.l. tle stated he does not like to sep a project delayed,
recoyniziny ti cost to the developer, if at ull possible. He stated Ehi.s is
probab:.y one o' the lightes~ uses that could go on this propartyt however, he
was a little concerned about the parking.
C~mmissioner ~cBurney offered a motion for a tw~-week continuance and
Commissionec E'ry seconded the motiun.
Commiasio~ec Bushoce stated he would lik~ to diseuss this a little bit more.
He stated hP thou~ht a continuance may not be needed; that there is recourse
f oc anyone dissatisEied and there is a cundition inc:luded that the roof
equipment wi.ll be screened and also he has a letter from the Anaheim Hills
Ylanned Community Association, dated August 20th, and he did not see any other
homeownecs aasociation asking for a delay and there is certainly time to meet
with the deve?.oper within the next three weeks and if they have a problem,
they cauld aF:peal the matter to the City Council. He added he could not
undecstand how the master association could ack on this one month ago and then
one assoai.ation out of f.fve surrounding the property did not have time to meet
and there is no opposition £rom any of the oLher associations.
Cor.unissi~ner King stated the parking situation is taken care of unr~er the
conditions.

of the lo~ lines of the previoualy approved tentative tract mapr nnd that they
are not requeating an inarease in denei.ty or waiver of Any af the conditions.
He stated the applicant haa reyueated that one more eight-unit building be
added ~o PhasQ 1 tor a total of 92 units inate~d of 84 becau~e af the
construction noise eEter thoae people have moved into the units.
Greg Nastings stated atatf hns not analyzed the outcome oE that request or
what could occur with that change and they would be shifting deneities from
one lor ~o another. He etaked he did not know of any in~mediate problems, but
thou,yht staff wnuld want to take ~ look at the change.
Commissioner Fry atated that is a change of l~t liner~ which could be major
changes. Mt. shammA responded if ik ic~ not possible, they woiald accept ik the
way it was proposed originally with 84 units in Phase 1, explaining they are
juat trying to minimize probl~ms Eor the people in the units.
.Tack white, Aasist~nt City Attorney, stated the pro~lem is thak slaff is now
being put on the apot because they huve not reviewed revised plans and if the
Commission wan~s to approve it~ a condition could be added requiring that the
change be reviewed by staff. Mr. ShammA 4tated they would rather wait if
L•h~ere ia a pcobl.em rathec than cont~nuing this request.
Greg Ha~tings stated there could be a problem if a variance was neceaeitated
by the change since t~e matter would have to be readvectised. He stated also
thia is an affordable projPCt which requires a 258 density bonus and he wa~n't
sure how L•hat 258 was divided up.
Mr. Shamma stated when they talked to the Community Development Department,
Ms. Pat Whitaker, was not quite s~.~re if the 25$ was calculated on the real
density. Annika Santalahti stated the 25g is calculated on what is allowed by
thA Code. Greg Hastings stated this project was approved for 83 units to be
affordable which would be 258 of the total nur~ber.
Chairman Herbst stated changing lot lines looks like it could cre~te some
parking problems in the fu~ure and if the structures were ever sold, thexe
could be a parking shortage.
Mr. Shamma withdrew his request for a change and explained Phase 1 and 2 will
have more parking than required and s~aff is recommending a condition
currently that they be developed in a certain sequence.
