TNE PUgLIC HEARING WAS CLOSEU.
Chairman Herbat staCed he did not khink the petitione~ had made rPVioiona to
meet the sugyestions made by rhe Planning Commisaion at the previoua meet•ing,
~nd noted it was sugyented lhat the Commieaion would probably approve anything
aimilar to what had been approved previously on La Palmut and that three
stories are atill proposed within 57 feet of single-family residences. Ne
added that adeyuate landacaping could not be provided to screen tt~ose
properkies for a long time, and thak the Commisaior~ is trying to protecl• the
integrity of tt~e cesidential area and the reaidents were there first.
Mr. Hann~ 3tated ttiey would stipulate to planr. whatever si.ze ~ree~ the
Commission wishest and that the ~hapc oE thin patcel i~ ver.y unusual and
diEficult to desiqn. He statPd they have moved the building further away from
the person's residence who opposed the cequest at ~he previaus meeting.
Chairman He~bst stated the Commission t~ac denied other three-story buildings
whfch were proposed adjacent t.o the residential areas and he would nnt grant
appro~~al uf this request when .it has been. denied to others.
Commi.ssion. .:ing aeked what the t~ardships would be to j~stify approval. ot the
57-foot distance frorn the couth ~roperty line. Mr. Nanna stated thc shape of
the property is very unuaual and pointed out they tiave provided the buffer
area and will provide heavy land~caping.
Commissianer Bouas asked if the project could be reduced to two stocies. Mr.
Hanna stated that would only permit 16 or 17 units and that would not be
feasfble. He stated he developed a 21-unit project at 5160 Ball Road (Ball
and Western).
Chairman Hesbst slated there are balconies proposed across the back of the
building. Cammissi~ner La Claire stated even if t.he Commis~fon granted this
request, the City Council would deny it because they are vehement about thcee
stories cloeer tc single-family residential proppr~y than 150 feet. She
stated the Commisoion t~as had numerous meetings with the City Council because
the Commission felt 150 feet is too far in today's market and the City Counail
agcted to a certain extent, but the ordinance was left as is so that each case
could be reviewed i.ndividually.
Greg Hasti.ngs, Assistant Ylanner, explained the projEGt next door is two and
three stories, with the thr-~e stori.es further than 150 feet ar.d th~e two
stories ak 72 feet from t'.a single-family residences to the south; and on the
other side of that propezty, there is also a complex that is going te be
condominiums or apartmer.te with two-story units 55 feet from the south
property line, but no three stories are proposed on that property.

David Hiott, Kindercare Learning Centers, 160 Newport Center Dr.ive, Newport
E~each, CA., explained Santa Ana Canyon Road will be extensively improved with
widening, lighting, bicycle path, etc., and ti~e equeatrian trail will be
relocated to the cear ot the property. Eie stated there is a school adjacent
to subject pro~erty and there is a need Eor this ty~e facili.ty in the area.
Frank Min.issale, ownet, explained he has 27 siqnatures of people who do not
oppose the pLOject and five people would not sign but wauld not object and he
thought ~robably only 9 of ~he 47 r~djacent property owners would object to the
project. He stated this is the only pco~erty in that immQdiate area zoned
residentially and he haa tried unsuccessfully to sell it aA residential
pr~perty for three yeacs at a lower priae than the average residential
praperty in the area.
Lee ~raber, President of the Santa Ana Canyon Property Owners Association, 407
Country Hill Road, stated they are against the proposal and he is receiving
ph~ne calls from concerned homeowners who ace wncried that this u3e will be a
deviatian from tihe General Master Plan of Development for this community and
that he is c~ncerned too. He added most of them inquired about the Master
Plan before purchasing their homes and thought it would protect theic
lifestyle and their investment and now Eeel threatened because they c]id not
expect a large sign in the neighborhood nor a tall building with limited
parking and they do not think the rules should be changed and are asking the
Co,nmiasion to continue to prutect them.
Prank Doty, 7431 Mill Stream Circle, stated he is concernpd a5out the severe
increase in traffic which would result from this day care center and noted
because of the high densiL•y in the area and with Mohler Drive being thP oniy
access, ttiere is already a.lot of traffic and this addi~tional. traffi,c would
make the situation ir~tolecable. He stated a property owner counted 315 cars
that went up Mohler Drive in an hour. He presented petitions conL•aining 66
signatures of people who are thoroughly opposed to the request and to the
proposed signs and waivers and asked the Commission to keep thefr implied
promise of several years ago to maintain the character of the neighborhood.

C. A. Arnold, 120 S. Mohler Drive which ia directly acroas the street from
aubject property, stated he purahar~ed his home about two years ago And he can
understand the petitionec's problem, but th~ propecty is buildable for a
residenL•ial use and explained his is a 5,100 aq. ft. home and it is an
excellent location, so tie thought the subject propetty cauld be sold and
(~PVQ10j1P.C~ for res~i.dential purposee. tle atated the krAffic on Mohler Drive is
extremely high and they have difficulty yetting out of their driveway on
Mohler Urive and tt~e only acceao to ~t~e area is Mohlet Drive. He staked he
~tcongly ob~ect8 to any commErci~l use bein9 acroas the street from his home.
He stated he purct~ased his home with what he thought was an understanding with
kh~e City that the natuce of the property and the ar.ea will not change.
Craig Yainter, 22U Country Hill Road, staLed t~e has two primacy concerns: 1)
the characteriEtics of the Dtotiler loop area and many ceaidents have located
there because oi the unique atmos~here that existed and he sees rhie proposal
as a rhreat to the natural, more r.ucal enviconmentt and 2) is the total imp~act
this day care center will have on the traffic which cannot be overlooked.
sharon 5chlesinger, g96 Country Nill Road, statea she has a child atr,ending E1
Rancho Jr. High Schoo' and iE speaking E~r other parents who have students
there and are concerned About the traffie hazard to their ar.udents with the
additional traffic in the area. She stated a waivec is requeated for an
~n-site loading and unloading aten which meana there will not be enough
parking spaces Eor the par~:nts which will create an additional traffic
hazard. She tefecred to a letter from Ralph Jamison~ pcincipal of E1 Rancho
Jr. High School, voicing his concern about traEEic safety for the students.
She stated the President of the Parent's Aasociation at the achool could not
call a board meetiny in time to appose this request, but as parents, they feel
this situation would really endangec the children. She read portions of a
letter from Susan &,Iohn Schaffer, 7630 l.~leasant Place, Anaheim, pertaining to
added traffic. She stated she did not think widening Mohter and adding a
traffic signal will eliminate this problem because there will be 2U0
additional cars twice a day every day.
Mr. Hiott stated this will be communit,y orienteci service and there is no zone
change cequested, and a day care center ia permitted. He stated the entire
area has been [eviewed and they have cooperated by retaining the inlegrity t~f
~his location. He stated the City ordfnances cali for a drop-off area for tF,e
children and they do not permit the student3 to be dropped oEf, and the parent
has to actually pa:k the car and sign the child in and then sign the child out
when they are picked up.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Cummissioner Buz;hore asked the ages of the chil~3ren, with Mr. Hiott. stating
t:~ey will have inFant care startir-g at six months old and canging up to 11 or
12 Xears old, and the hours of operation would be from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and
they would be able to have about 204 students. He stated the number of
children is governed by the State of California through licensing, and they
adhere to HPalth Department rules. He stated a child can only be left for a

sesaions, but thu- ie a low ~ercontage o~ their business.
Cammiasionec Bushore stated the bell tower is one foot above what is normally
allowed and Mr. Hiott s*_ated that is a el•andacd design and ataff felt the one
toot was not a siynificant change. Commisai~ner Buahore stated his basic
concern is with traffic And he is familiar with the traffi.c problems and thia
ptojk.cl would add ~ potential for 204 more cacs in the marning and afternoon
und would create a lot more traffic than the previously proposed real eatate
office. He stated the pKOb1Em mAy be ecunomics And it is poasible Che
property owner is asking too much for the pcaperty, but the Commiasion has
held to the Codes foc the other properties in the same area and approval o£
ti~is would have a real impact on the othec praperties.
Paul Singer, TrafFic Engineer, res~onded to Commissionec Mc9urney that a
traffic signal ia not planned for this intecsection but a right turn lane
would be added on San~a Ana Canyon Road which would irtipc~ve the traffic
situation an~ that UeI Giocgio and Santa Ana C~nyon Road will not be widened
since they ace alresdy ~t ultimate width.
Conunissioner La Claire stated stie did not think tne building it~elf would be
too bad and the use is not that bad aince is near a school and a shopping
Center; however, the ma~or F~roblem is the traffic and there is a pcoblem now
because ~f the school and ta increase the traffic would be harmful to thF erea
and she did not feel denia2 of thi.s request would curtail the property awner's
use of the property and added she would consider this h.o be a commercial
venture.
Commissioner Bushore pointed out the playground is proposed right up to Santa
Ana ~anyon Roao and added he would have concerns with that and thougt~t it
should be set back further.
Mc. Hiott stated there is 5 co 7-fool grade di.fference between SanEa Ana
Canyon Road and the wall to the playground.
Commissioner Bushore stated he knows there is a need for day care in that area
and others have been approved, but there ace ather areas where they would not
have as great an impact because of the ~raffic in the area.

MUTION CARRIED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission has reviewed the

Chairman Herbst stated that post oEtice is very busy and nobody uses the
parking spaces in the rear; that there is a futuce home centervariances and in
there is vacant land and that center has been granred parking
hi.s opinion, they should utilize the vacant land to increase the parking.
Mr. Meader stated the muffler repair shop will not fit on the future home
center site, and Chairman Herbst: stated he would not vote for it on this site.
Commissioner Bushore stated that site is propos~d for r~tail right now and
people will eithec come there and sit or drop off theit cars and leave and it
will require less parking spaces.
Chairman Herbst stated the Midas shops have started ~oing brake repairs and

Commioaioner L~ Claire stated she was concerned about the noiae that would be
generated. Mc. Meader stated ~he building will be conatruc~ed of concrete
block And plastec and wood to makch the existirig center, and the side facing
PecegrinQ will be solid block an4 the only dnors will be on the weat aide
facing into the shuppi.ng center and there will not be very much noiae.
(;ommiasioner Bushoce state~i assuming this is approved with a condition that
cars wi11 be parked in a designated atea behind the poat oEfice, theze are
s~me okher problema in the center which are starting to aurface hQcause of the
increase footages being leased and the amount of traffic, especially the area
between Ralphs and McCOnahay's, and now is the time to get that taken care
of. kle suggested khe curDs in front of McCont-hay's be painted red becauae
people are parking along the curb and that signa ahould be poeted that no
parking ie allowed and vehicles will be towed away. t~e added that the
diayonal spaces in fr.ont of Ralphh take up more room and an increa3e of
probably 158 could be reali2ed 1E thoQe were repalnted as strnight spacea.
Mr, Meader stated they would have no c,bjectinn to that, but Ralphs
specifically requested the angled parki.ng and it ia included in their lease.
He added he was not involved in rhat lease r-egotiation. He added he would
like for the Anaheim Police Department tu patr~l that area so that people will
not pa~k along that curb in front of hicConahay's. Paul Singer stated the
petitioner would have to make z~ specific request For the Police Deparlment to
enter onto L•heir propetty.
Commissioner La Claire stated she has voted for almost everything they have
requested in this c~nter, ~,ut she is not thrilled with the idea of a muffler
shop because she did not think it wouid be a good mix and she thought there
will b~ a lot of idling of engines associated with the rnuEf.ler shop. 5he
added her concerns are noi.~e, air pollution, and traffic because of the past
office and apartmenLs across the street. SF,e asked if there is another place
in the ehope~ing center whece this could be located.
Mr. Meader stated they considered the back parking lot, but Midas objected to
that and then theze would also be housing on two sides. He ~tated *t-ere would
not be much noiae because they would not use ait hammers to take the mufflers
~ft and the brake work would involve impact wrenches, buk they would be inside
the building that backs up to Peregrine where the apartments are ?ocated. He
stated one of the majur things Midaa is qetting into is replacing catalytic
converters because that goes along with the mufflezs.
Mr. Maadox stated when an automobile is brought in, it is not id~ed outside or
inside the fr~cility, and is simply repaired from a visual inspection.
Respond:tng to Commissioner Bushore, Mr. Meader stated the post office lease is
until at least 1990 with extensions.

Chairman Herbst stated k~is wlfe wsi~ed at that post ofEice for 45 minutes last

will be along t1~e aide and tio did not think that would be adeyuaCe. Fle added
he ttiought this buildi ng is in the wcong location ~nd w.'~1 jeopardize one of

Karl Meader stated th e delay At tt-e p~st oFfice was pcababJy due ta the

all vetiicles waitinq f or cepair or pick up parked in the rear.
Chairman Herbst stated they may have approval for a retail u~e, but that does
not mean they can lea se it and addwd they must real.ize that a lot of people
ace brought into that center. by the post offic~ and r~ey will be jeopardizing
sr~mething the people Y,ave to go to. Fie added he thought they cou2d relocate
the building if they want to, and he fell• it doesn't belong in this location.
Mr. Meader stated ret atlers look for Eoot trafiic and it was tizeic feeling
that Cha muff ler shop w~s a yood customer for r.his site because they woulci
have less traffic and he was sure they could lease it to someone else.
Commissioner Bushore stated he could see two uBes that would fit into that

there and be tl~ere for ~ l~nyer period ~f time -- one being a packa9ing
operation and the o tner a bL~nch outlet Eur United Parcel wi.:ch would competp

they ere not eure at thia time but wauld prefer an individual letter sign and
are not thinking of Any sort of can~ed illuminat~d aign and that it would be

ie nee~~ed in t-~a~ areu Anc1 ahe ie glod they will have architectural cuntrol.
She acidHd, however, since a aimilar aign reques~ was recently denied, ahe
cruld not, in all. good faith, grant this onE. ;;he asked whot other
roof-maunted equipment hae been ~ilowed i.n that area.
Gceg Hastinys ntated there is no cestricl•ion of rooE-mounted eyuipment in the
Scenic Corridor Industrial Zanet however, in the CommerciAl 2one, no waivers
have been grantc~d.
Annika santalahti, Assistant Director for Zcming, stated i~ is better ko
consider the ro~;E-mounted equipment problem in the vecy beginning, anrl
sometin~ts the ci~velopers do architectural devices which are deaigned to be a
part of the b~iluiny, so it is best to design the t~uilding acknow.ledging the
type of eyuipment they have and prepa:ing for it from the beginning.
Commissioner La Claire stated she thought Keno's has their equipmerit weil
dppressed so that it looks like a part of the building.
Mr. Thompson stated droppiny roof-mounted equipment into an office building is
a vecy expen~ive acrangement. He sCated the desiqn of the building doesn't
lend itself t_~ adding an approxi.mate g-foot high elemenl• on top and the other
problem is Chat the equipment is in the mi.ddle of the building, basically over
the elevator cnre, and in order ta make the screening an integral part of the
roof, it would force ~he ~creen out to the ~erimeter of the huilding so it Ss
difffcu.it to fnc~rporate the screening into the design of this particular
building. He asked if it would be acceptable if the screening appears to be
made of the same material as the surf.ace of `:he c~iilding with a trellis on
top. tie explained the sides could be a porcelafn type finish which would lock
like the s~rface of the buildi,ng and be color mat~hed with a trellis on top.
Annika Sa~talahti seated the problem with screening devices is that roofs with
paranets are typically not flat and o~e of the basic things staf~ looks for
with any roo~-mounted ec~uiprnen~, is that it cannot be seen by anyone standing
at horizontal level, and how far below the edge oE the parapet the equfpment
will be, and that the equipment be painked similar to the color of the roof,
anct the roof line extpnded because some equipment is open on one side. She
skated she has not discussed this subject with this petitioner.
Mr. Thompson stated he did not discuss this any member ~f staff because it was
shown on the plans as roof-mounted eguipmenk screened by metal panels,
color-matched with gl~ss and aluminum and a screen tcellis on the top.
Malcolm Slaughter explained the Code provides that there chall be no raof-
mounted equipment allowed. Annika Santalahti stated she would assume that
there is some roof line parapet around whatever they are doing and that
approacn~s a satiEfactory solution, but stafP Would have to take a look at
