Responding to Cheicwoman La ~lai[e, Mr. Jecusal atated the cam-grinding
operation haA been thete foc at least twn yeats.
Chairwoman La Claire stated she telt these usea should all be on aepacate
conditional u~e permits becaus~ thece nave been Froblema in l•he paAt when one
of the uaecs did not comply with the conditions or creatPd a nuisance,
Malcolm Slaughter., Ueputy Ci~y Attorney, stated evidence ha~ bcen presented hy
one tenant on behalf af thrPe of the five tenante in the staff rzpoct and he
thought the C4mmi.ssfon ia 1n A poEition to yrant the permit on all ot ti~e
units, none of the uhits or some of the units and he concurred tihat in the
future, it would be better to 1~ave ~eparAte applications
Commlesioner Fry stated he thouyht the permit could be granted Eor Units G, R
~nU P. commio~ioner ~oua~ in~icated che felt Ch~ window linting operation
could also be included in this permit. Mr. Jerusal explained ti~e windaw

would happen i€ there was a violation in one of tt~c units.
Malcolrn Slaughtier stated from a legal stan~point, cancelliny the pecmit bn onQ
unit would be extremely complex, but it could prabably be done afler a pubiic
heariny was granted to all the parties who.rights under thal resolution we[e
affected. He stated the Con~ission eould grant the permit for one of these
~ses under this apPlication and in~truct the remaining tenants to make
application 1E they so desire.
Commissioner Herbst stated he ha~ no problem ~ith uses that are
industrially-related beca~~e that area daes aack-up to the flood control
char-nel and they would nor be detrimental to the acea and most of the uses
existing have been allowed in other industrial areas. Ke stated he wauld have
no problem granting approval for the pekitioners present, except Mr. Hoag who
is proposing the detailin9 oP~rati.on, because he thought vehicles would be
st~red outaide because they would end up having more cars than could be stoced
inside.
Malcolm 5laughtet suggested if the Cort~-ission is planning to yrant appcoval
for more than one o~ the units, that the applicable conditions, particularly
Nn. 2 shoul~ be done in such a way as to pecmit each unit to pay its
pcaportionate share of the traffic siqnal assessment fees.
Responding to Commis~ioner Herbst, Mr. Jerusal stated he had not reviewed the

photogtaphs that he thought the areas where Lhe other three facilities ace
located ahould be viewed as commercial area~. tte statEd the ceason the

tt-rough the al,ley and they intend to limit traffic irom Nei.ghbors Avenue. Mr.
Jacobson ~tated the Social RetiabilitaCion Center is a new proje~t qeared to be
a lower cost proyram so that patients will have more dccess for cace and not
so the hospital can make m~re money, Gut t:~ey get many calls from people
d~siring the treatment who do not have the insurance necessary or the cash
available to go through an expensive hospital pcogram. He stated ~he length
of stt~y i~ between 2 to 7 days in the hosE~ital and then they move into the
center. He staCed they do not perform miracles in those 2 to 7 days, but try
to detoxify patient~ in the hospital to allow them to be medically clear to
rece'tve rehabilxtatian and the rehabilitakion is a combination of inedication
and therapy, involv.ing the families and Fatients in a program of changing
their liLestyle, and it is A lifetime program to allow people to recover from
a diseaae that has changed their lives.
James Pacley, Mar.tin Luther Hohpital, stated they have 12 units in khe
hospital and that this program has been going on for 6 years and they are
lu~'•ing for 16 units maximum and it has nothing to do with the purchase of the
adjacent property. He skated he know~ the owners have been concerned about
property values and wanted to point out that property values in the other
areas where these facilities are located have not declined; that he talked to
thp director of Soutt- Coast Counseling and was told that the fa~~?lity in
Urange on Wilson cost $130,OOU in 1978 and was appraised in 198 at $235,000.
He stated he drove arou~id the facility in Costa Mesa and it is basically a
single-fami~~ area with dome cortunercial uses on Orange 5treet nearby, but not
on 19th St~eet whece the facility is actually located.

poinked out that wa~ an alcol~olic detoxification center. C:hAlcwoman La Clz~ire
pointed out theee would be more problems with the alcol~olic detoxitication

Commissioner Hecbal atated the residents and ownern in this area have an
extreme Eear of losing something they have and they have invested their liLe
savings into Lhese com~lexes and he did not blame them for being scar~d. He

which could be revvked at any time, Martin Luther could decide to leave it and
the use could remain, and also a parki.ng waivec is required and the tenants
would have to walk over a fence whi~h would open the doors foc the people to
get in and out oE the parking lot. He stated if they t~ave purchased another
4-plex next door, they have not answeted why, and when a hospital buys
property, there is a r.eason and he felt once this ic allowed, it could go into
an expansion program.
Chairwoman La Claire atated she w~nted the residents to get an underst~nding

Thereupon Commissioner McBur.ney left the Council Chamber.

5tate of California. He stated they are trying to prov.de more than a

He stated they would reyue~t ttiat the additi.onal f inancial burdens imposed in
the conditions be waived for at; least 6 years so they can get the schoul
oper~.tiny at a pro£it. He stated the condition~ require 10-foot radius curb
cuts and explained the property is presently ~erved by an in-driveway and
out-driveway with curb cuts which are wide and have served a comme[cial use
previously and asked that they only be requiced to maintain khe existing curb
cuts and not increase them because tlarbor dc,ulevard would eventully be widened

Reaponding to Commisaioner Iierbat, Mr. Eloriani responded they have ~ 3-ye~c
lense with a 3-yeAr aption. Commissionet Hecbst atated he has no problem with
the use, and ha~ no ob~ection to waiving the requirement for a period of least
6 years, but would like the etipulAtion that if tlieir le~se ie extended, that
condition could be reconaidered.
Malcolm SlaughL•er, Deputy ~ity Ahtorney, suggested the conditional use permit
be granted for a specific period oE time, ~robably 6 years, And if tt~ey are
continuinq t•he u~e At that time, a new permit c~uld be requested and the
conditian reviewed at th~t time. Ile stAted conditions impo~~d are on the
pcoperty, but it rt~ay ar may not involve a tenant, but i[ the tenant cr,nnot
convince the landlord to comply with the conditions, khey do nol have the
right to use ~tie praperty becuuse the conditions have not been met.
Chairwoman La Claire stated she wauld be in favar oE requirinq the dedication
at this time and post~oning hhe p~sting of security Lor 6 year.s so this permit
would ex~ire in 6 years and at that time ttie commission could impose the
condition if necessary.
Malcolm Slaugt~ter stated the Commissi~n can grant this permit for 6 years
leaving the condition in requirin, the dedicati~n as i~, and grant Lhe waiver
requiring th~ postiny of securiCy; however, tha~ is not th~ recommendation of
the Engineecing Uepartment.
Commissioner La Claire stated ~he did not think it is faic to have a proQerty
owner who is in ausiness give the City ~aoney just to hold and even though she
understands the City's point of view. She stated she thougt~t the permit
should be gr.anted far : period of 6 years so t.he condition can be imposed at
that tfine if cey,iired.
Mr. Eloriani stated a 6-year time limi~ would be acceptable.
Commissioner kierhst stated if Nar~or. is widened even in 6 years, he did not
think widening thQ curb was a necessity and Condition No. G should be
deleted. Annika Santalahti stated the Traffic Engi~eer t~a~ been cequiring
that condition on a~l applications and feels more strongly in this case
because ~f the volume of traffic on Harbor.
Chairwoman La Claire ~tated she w~uld want to keep that condikion in because
the use is located on Iiarbor.
Mr. F'l~riani stated the driveways there presently are over 20 fect wide. de
stated he reviewed this condition and pointed out if the driveway was rut, it
would create a lraffic t~azard for people walking t~ecause the ~treet is about
12 inches below the grade of the property.
Annika Santalahti pointed out the condition dees rpquire that the curb cuts be
made subject to the approval of the Traffic Engineer, so it is possible the
Z'raffic Engineer would r.ot even require them.
Commi~sioner Herbst pointed uut they are one-way driveways and are as wide as
any he has seen in any school in Anat~eim and did not think an expense like
that should be imposed when it is not really necessary.

square foatage of that unit. Annika Santalahti stated the bi~gest
conditions ace normally cor.~plied with by the property owner whicl~ are
dedication and strePt impcovements, etc. when the building r~rmits are
