MINUTES ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION~ SEPTEMBER 3 1986 86-607
Howard Shaffec, 206 Sullivan Street, Santa Ana, was present tepcesenting
Living Fairh Church. He ~hanked *.he Commissioners for speaking on ~heir
behalf to the City Council.
He started his pcesentation by noting that sidewalks had not been required
of othec tenants locating in the area, yet they were being requiced to
inst311 over 1300 feet of sidewalks that would benefit everyone in the
complex. He then requested this condition be deleted f~om the
conditions. He also said tha~ if t.he driveways' radii were no~ s~andard,
it should have been brought up when other tenants were moving into the
complex or when ~he complex was originally built. He said *hey ini*ially
requested a two-year period; howevet, since City Council just adopted a
new ordinance allowing a~hree-year period of time in any given ~en-yeac
period, ~hey would like to change theic eequest to thcee years.
Commissioner Herbs~ inquired as `o the sta~us of the ocdinance. Malcolm
Slaughter said he undecstood the ordinance was adopted by Council last
week, and ~h~~/ ~echnically it would no` be effec~ive for `hirty days. He
said there was nothing in the legal advertising that would restric`
Commission from gran~ing ~he ~hree years being requested.
Leonard McGhee said the Redeve'_~pment Commission, at its regular meeting
of July 2, 1986, recommended approval for ~wo years and direc~ed the
Director of Community Uevelopment to entec into an agreement with ~he
petifioner (if approved by ~he Planning Commission) t.o so termina~e `he
church use in two years from date of Plannin9 Commission resolution.
Commissioner Bouas said she fel* the Redevelopmen~ Commission would have
recommended appcoval for three yeacs if that period of time had been
requested, and Mr. McGhee agreed. He srated tha~ s~aff did not have a
pcoblem with the thcee-yeac period.
Chairman McButney asked staff why sidewalks were being requi~ed in an
industrial area since there is a lot of non-foot traffic. He also noted
this would be quife an expense to incu[ for a~hree year period.
Paul Singei~, Tcaffic Engineer, said the City Engineer had instcucted staff
to cequire sidewalks in any indus4rial area serviced by bus traffic, and
to make it a condition of appcoval. He stated the applicant could contact
the Cit.y Engineer and request a waiver from this condirion.
Chairman McBUCney asked if Commission could eliminate this cundition, and
Malcolm Slaugh*_er said i~ was a s~aff rerommended condition whir.h
Commission was not obligated to impose.
Commissioner Herbsr. said `he Ci~y Engineer had generally granted waivers
on sidewalks in industrial ateas (COUncil Policy 208 "Temporary waivers of
sidewalk construc~ion'), bu~ khere was also a stipulation fha~ if and when
they were required, the propecty owner would be obligated to put them in.

N,INUTES ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 3 1986 66-608
Commissioner Bouas said she did noc feel ic was fair to require che
installation of sidewalks from the church since this use was only a small
poction of che entire area and thac it should really be ~he ownec's
responsibiliLy.
Commissioner Lawicki asked the applicant if he still had a question
regarding the driveway radius requirement. Applicant noted the radius had
exisced since the development was built. Malcolm Slaughcer said if the
radius already exisced, it did meec conditions.

Paul Singec sa:.d he felt the parking was marginal, even though it worked
out mzchemacically. He stated the parking requirement would improve with
the reciprocal packing agteement, as the uses overlap and did not
necessarily occur. at the same time.
Commissioner Bouas asked whac type of shops were next door co the project,
and applicant staced thexe was one bnsiness, an auco paccs store. He said
the owner was planning to remodel. Commissioner Bouas asked how many
parking spaces the scote had and applicanc said after the remodeling there
would be 5.5 which meets Code. He said the combined projects would have
somewhere acound 4.0. He noced both owners were agreeable co the

wizh the limited parking, there •aas a scrong possibility che employees

would harm the stacking space for cacs waitine to use the facility, and

the main problem was they did not own the property, and the owner had made
it clear that he was no'- willing ':o make *he dedica~.ions. He s*.a~ed
because of this, and the fact the condition was based on a future even~
that might never occur, they were asking Commission t.o delere rhis

MINUTES~ ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION~_SEPTEMBER 3, 1986 86-618
Commissiones La Claire scaced she wanted co granc che condicional use
permit, buc woi~ld like to know why they did not apply for a new one.
~r. Sanders szated Pascor Crow had gone to che City oE Anaheim Planning
Department to apply for a conditional use per.mit and was advised to
pzoceed in chis manner.
Commissioner Bouas noted rhat at that time there was no ordinance to cover
a church use in che induscrial area.
Annika Santalahti staced in 1980, when the conditional use permic was
originally approved, Code did noc read che way ic does cusrencly, so it
was a valid application at that time. She noced when applicanc firsc came
in co apply, che Zonin9 Code in che Canyon Induscrial Area made no
provision for chur.ches, so filing would have been worthless. She said the
only possible mechod would have been co ucilize an exiscing condicional
use permit on the propeccy. She stated thece was such a permic in zhe
induscrial complex, buc located in a differenc unic; hence, che
modification of the approved site plan to r.elocate from one unic co the
ocher. She noced in che incerim, che Zoning Code was changed.
Malcolm Slaughter scated he had spoken wich Jack White, City Attorney, who
drafzed che new ordinanee and asked che Cicy Council, at che cime of che
hearing, whether propercy meant the encir.e parcel or. just the locacion of
the specific use. He sc:zced he underscoad chac Council's intencion was co
refer to only the area where the use happened to be, so for purposes of
this ocdinance, ic appears che incent co mean chis proper~y could have as
many churches as building units, pcoviding none of them exceeds the 3
years in any given 10-year period.
Malcolm Slaughter. staced Commission could grant a condi''ional use permit
at che new location for a maximum of 3 years.
Afcer considerable discussion, Commission said they definicely wanted to
creac chis as a new conditional use permit.
Commission inquired if the applicant was aware of the conditions required
under r.he new ordinance.
Mr. Sandecs said yes, and they were entirely satisfied with the conditions
imposed, and che lan9uage in the ordinance adopced by the Cicy Council.
It was noted the EIR Negacive Declaration was approved on December 15,
1980, and filed with th~ County on January 7, 1981.
