MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION~ SEPTEMBER 29, 1986 86-647
Mr. Schor. explained they plan :c open the new facility in April 1987, and
that in order. to serve their. well-established customers in the interim,
they will be pr.oviding a mobile-kitchen with drive-throu9h window.
Mr. Schor stated they agr.ee with all the conditions, except Nos. 1 and 2
pertaining to the :aidening of Hacbor Boulevard and tY,ey would hope the
intent of that condition was that they w~uld ha~~e plans prepared Eor the
improvements and post bonds for the constructicr, at this time and not make
the physical improvements, but that would be c',oae when Harbor. Boulevard is
ultimately widened in that area. He stated wider~ing Harbor in certain
locations and narrowing it back down could cause traffic congestion.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Jay Titus, Office Engineer, explained Condition No. 2 of the
reclassification should really be broken into two separate conditions, one
requiring the ultimate dedicnl-ion and the other requiring the relocation
of the existing improvements on Harbor Boulevard from Romneyz northerly
207 feet. He stated Condition No. 4 would apply to the Harbor z~rontage
adjacent to the freeway and would delay relocation of those improvements,
with the developer payirig the costs of relocating, and the City assuming
the responsibility for relocating when that portion of Harbor is widened.
Kr. Schor clarified the City is requesting they make the physical
inipr.uvements on Harbor at this time. Mr. Titus stated that is cor:ect for
the area Whsce the new .restaurant will be located adjacent to Romneja.
Mr. Schor stated the problem is not tne financing, and they are willing to
post the bonds tc pay for the improvements when Harbor is ultima~ely
improved; and that t~e major entrance of the hotel will be to the north of
the restaurant, just north of where the transition would be frem three
lanes to two lanes and they helieve that would create mor.e congestion for
the restaurant and the entrance to the motel.
Paul. Singer stated actually there are cwo north bound lanes on Har.bor
Boulevard and if this portion is widened, :hat lane would be used
primarily as an access to their restaurant an~ the motel, much like a
deceleration lane, and he thought that widening would enhance theirto the
accecs. Mr. Schor explained the driveway to the moc=1 is actually
north of the tran~ition from three lanes and their entrance would be in
the two-lane area.
Mr. Titus stated the City has seen a proposal for development of khe
property just south of Romneya and if that development occurs and harbor
is widened in thac location, this would provide quite a lengthy secticn of
Harbor that would be widened to its ultimate and he thought that would be
an advantage. Mr. Schor stated traffic would be forced back into the two
lanes again just befor.e the freeway and in his view, thac would cause
congestion and conEusion in front of the molel entrance. Mr. Singer
responded that the Gity does not cucrently have the widening of Harbor
scheduled.
9/29/86
MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, SEPTEMBER 29, 1986 86-648
Mr. Schor stated they still would like for the Commission to consider
allowing them not to widen Harbor at this time; and that they would post
the bond and would like to see the widening accomplished at the same
t?.me. Mr. Titus explained the condition w.r,ul-3 be that the developer pay
for the cost of r.elocation at this time and noc to post a bond. t4r. Schor
responded to Chairman Pro Tempore Messe that he understands that condition.

Commissionec Fry stated even if the critical intersection is implemented,
there wuuld still be 10 feet and 5 feet of landscaping in the front of the
par.'•:ing and indicated he would not have a problem with this ocoject.
Commissioner Messe asked if there would be a parking problem on days when
there ace games at the Stadium. Mr. Lo~rry stated the pcoperty coula be
posted and if a person left their car there during a aame, the owne.~ could
have it towed away; and that thzy would not allow parking on the premises
during the games, because their parking is needed for their paying
custo:ners.
Leonard t4cGhee, Associate Planner, stated the requested 15-foot landscaped
setback is the st.andard being considered by the City for the Stadium area
because of the commercial, office nature of the developmeni:s that are
occurring in that area; and if the 15-foot landscaped sethack is waived
for ttiis project, it would not be consistent aith other projects zn the
area and could set an undesirable pr.ecedent; and other developers would
want the same waivers; and tt:at there are also other projects in the area
which have established that 15-foot setback with or without the critical
intersection dedication.
Commissioner Herbst asked abour the critical intersection designation.
Paul Singer. stated ther.e is no schedule and the intecsections will be
developed on an •as needed" basis and the improvements in today's dollars
would cost between ~750r00q and $850,000 per intersectian. He stated he
envisions the west-leg of this intersection being widened by the Hanouver
Development, and Stadium Plaza development will most likely be developing
another leg of that intersection, and Koll will also be responsible for
improvements at that intetsection. He stated there are 26 intersections
involved and khis will be a long process.
Commissionec Herbst stated tha owner.s are dedicating 12 fe~t on each
street for this project, but they will still landscape the area until it
is d?dicated. Paul Singer stated many property owners will probably lose
parking due to the critical intersection widening.
Commissioner Fry statea the building is set way back on the pr.oper.ty and
he did not see a problem. Paul Singer agreed there is no problem on this
particular property. Commissioner Messe stated there is a har.d median on
State ~ollege, but not Katella, and asked if cars turning right would
cause a problem. Paul Singec stated he expects there will be a hard
median on Katella in this location. He stated he did not think this
particular dci.veway being located this far from the cor.ner would cause a
problem at this time.

There were two pecsons indicating their pr.esence in opposition to subject
r.equest and although the staff report was not read, it is refer;ed to and
made a part of the minutes.
Michael Valenti, awner, stated he has owned this property since 1973, and
it has been a rental pr.oper.ty since 1979, and the neiyhborhood has
generally been declining seriousl~ an9 they feel this project will be an
enhancement to the neighborhood. He stated he has concerns with
Conditions 1 and 2 regarding the ded!cation on Claudina and ~dele and
would r.equest those conditions not be imposed at this time.
Thomas ldacintosh staced he is currently renting the property at 318 N.
Claudina whi~h is adjacent to the south and he has discussed this with the
owner and w?th several. neighbors and they all oppo5e the project primarily
because of the parking waiver. He stated he has been in the neighborhood
for 7 years and there have been a lot of changes and some of them have
been detrimental to the neighborhood, including ~he Set Free Church and
the Kocean Church, and every Sunday and sometimes on mtiursday nights,
chere ace par.king problems on Claudina and Adele.
Gary Pike, 201 E. Adele, stated he has lived in this neighborhood for 8
year.s and it is a r.easonably stable neighborhood; and that there is an
apartment complex next door to his property, nut ectawould cause a decline
decline in the neighborhood, but thinks this proj

Hadi Tabatabaee, agent, stated they are providing the number of parking
spaces eequired by Code, except for 1 compact space, and he did not think
there would be a problem.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairman McBUrney referred to the 3-1/2 foot dedication required on
Claudina and Adele. Jay Titus stated the plans do provide for those
dedications.
Commiasioner Herbst stated he thinks this is just another small lot being
overbuilt; and that he thought the r.ecreational ar.ea shown should be
ceviewed because they should be areas which can be used by the tenant; and
that this could never be proposed without the compact car spaces and
tandem parking; and that this is a 3-story building and there is nothing
else like it in the area and it will impact the area.
Mc. Tabatabaee stated they are providing Code required open space and
there is a 30-foot ar.ea on Adele which they cannot count because it is in
the setback, but it could be used by the tenants. He stated even though
the project is 3-stories high, it is 6 inches below the allowable 2-story
height limit_.
Commissioner Herbst stated it would be hard for people to maneuver their
car.s out of the compact cat spaces. Mr. Tabatabaee stated t9~29/865 are

Iraj Eftekhari, 1098 S. Rainbow, nnaheim, stated two parcels have been
combined foc this development and they feel this would be an appropriate
project fur this area because there is a demand £or this type of
condominium and they feel it would be compatible in the area because the
propecty is isolated from the rest of the neighborhood.
Lorren Bell, 2520 S. Fair.view, Santa Ana, stated he represents one of the
sellers of the southerly portion af this propecty (2.99 acres); and that
he has built over 3,000 residential units in Southern California, 225 of
them in Anaheim Hills, including Window Hills, Feather fiill and Haven
Hill, He stated he feels this is a good project for this site and even
though the propetty is currently zonad for hillside, estate density, it
doesn't fit that description because it is isolated from the r~he junioc
area and has a substation on the east corner of the property,
high school is very close, and at the corner of Old Santa Ana Canyo:i Road
and Fairmont, there are two shoppin9 centers. He stated since the
property is lower, it will not be restricting anyone's view. He stated
they aill be planting more trees and landscaping and the project will hsve
a nice par.k-like atmospher.e and the ar.ea will be maintained by a
homeowner's association. He stated the project will be a benefit to the
existing community because it will buffer the sound to the east from
traffic on Fairmont, even though they will be adding some additional
traftic.
Rick Marsicola, 235b Blackfoot Street, Placentia, stated he is a real

Shirley SaundPrs, 6675 Canyon Hills Road, stated shP lives just 1/4 mil?
away from subject property and that shP is a licensPd real Pstate broker
and sha bought her propPrty becausP it was a 1/2-acre estate l.ot and she
fQPS.S it shoul.d rPmain that way; and they EPPS this project would hurt
their property values and incrPase traffic on Fairmont, which is al.ready a
very dangerous slteot. She stated the shopping c?nters cr?at? a l.ot of
traffzc and putting a condominium in thP area zoned for 1/2 acre PSCdtP
].ots would be a mistak?. She statPd she is vice-president of che

property has oePn on thP markPt for 4 years and it was uriginally designPd
for 3 or 4 gated custom homes; however, it could not b? sol.d for thak
purposP an~ the alternative was condominiums and noted khere are no
condominiums in that particular area, due to the :soning. She statPd
Anah?im Hills has amplP townhom?s available and the pPOple who purchased
there did so pr.imaril.y because of thP ruralness o.E the arPa and do not
think that shoul.d bP changed. She statPd she tra~~els Eairmont several
timPS a day and the gcade of that road is tremendous and with this
condominium project, thPre wou].d be a minimum of 144 vehicles coming out
each morning and she thought it would really be dangerous. She added
there is a church going into the new shoppir,., center at the cor.ner. of

property. He stated the City Traffic Engineer has recommended that the
east side of Fairmont will need to be widened from Canyon Hsidewalks and
Rio Grande to its ultimate width including curbs, gutters,
horse trails, and that is included as condition of approval.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Herbst stated he feels this density is just too high for this
area; that he recognizes this parcel is probably at a disadvantage for
RS-22,000 development, and realizes it has been on the market for sevezal
years and thought there could probably be a compromise and that i: could
be rezoned to RM-3000 which would allow 6 units to the acre, or RS-5,000
oermitting 5 units per acre. He stated the RS-10,000 would permit 27
units per acre with 364 craffic trips per day; and RM-3000 designation
would permit 294 to 388 trips per day, and that the property is located
below grade level and it does abut a shopping center, the school, and a
substation, and will probably not be sold unless it is down-zoned. He
stated the RM-3000 hillside zone would permit a maximum of 6 units per
acre and he thought that would be the proper 2one, and noted m~re than 6
units per acre have not been allowed anywhere in Anaheim Hills; and some
people do like condominium style livin9 with homeowner's associations
taking care of cheir yards. He stated this pruperty is really isolated,
but whoever develcps that property, will have to widen Fairmont and make
all the improvements. He stated thac property will not be maintained as
RS-22,000 because it is lower and has a church and substation abutting it.
Responding to Commissioner Bouas, Mr. Bell stated they have not met with
adjacent homeownecs in the area and they didn't think there would be this
much opposition. He indicated he Would be willing to meet with them.
Commissioner Herbst asked if chey would like a continuance in order to
reduce the density. Mr. Eftekhari stated they would have to neyotiate
with the property owner. He stated there was a lot of opposiL-ion to the
traffic and he did not khink there would be that much of an impact, but
they would be willing to work wit.h the property ownet and the neighbors.
Commissioner Herbst stated he thought there is coom for compromise for
less than RS-22,000, but 72 units is just too much, especially at 950
vehicle trips per day.
Mr. Eftekhaci stated the property is more than 7 acres and there was a
mistake in their original calculations and with the RM-3000 Zone, they
should be ab~.e t.o constcuct 100 units.
Commissioner Herbst suggested the homeowner's associations be contacted.
He stated he lives in that area and travels Fairmont Boulevard everyday,
and feels this property will not sell as RS-22000, but something should be
proposed that is realistic and that everyone could live with.
Mr.. Eftekhari requested a 4-weed continuance.

MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, SEPTEMBER 2~, 1986 86-659
Mr. Mattson stated the developer did take all of those concerns into
consider.ation; that the General PJ.an of the City of Anaheim shows that
area for medium density residential; and that thEy did work very closely
with staff to provide the best pr.oject; that the 24 units will not be
considered affordable units, and they will upgrade the area and provide
housing for. the people working in the business center just half a block
away. He stated the parking will be provided on-site. He stated the plan
for. the 5-stor.y office building would not have to come before the Planning
Commission because it would meet the standards, but it would have added
mor.e tr.affic to the area than this apartment complex.
THE PUBLI~ HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairman McBurney stated he is really having a problem regarding
downgrading the zoning to residential from C0, and knowing that area, he
thought it could be developed as a much better commercial use.
Commissioner Herbst stated he could not appcove the parking plan with
tandem and parallel parking spaces together, with the tandem spaces
backing directly into the par~llel parking spaces. He stated the property
would be totally overbuilt with this project, and the parking is not a
good plan and the number of units would have to be reduced in order to
provide a better parking plan.
Commissioner Lawicki agreed and stated he thought the number of units is
excessive and could be reduced, but he would like to see the pcoperty
remain zoned for commercial, office.
Commissioner Fry agreed and stated "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
and he did not think. very much imayination was used in this particular
design, and that he would not be in favor of downzoning the property.
Commissionec Bouas asked if the developer would like a continuance in
ocder to change the plan. Mr. Eftekhari responded he has been working on
th:s pcoject for 8 months and had a hard time deciding whether or not to
pcopose the 5-story office building or. apartments. He explained they
found from their data that it is hard to lease office spaces at the
present time, since a lot of office buildings are being constructed, and
that one of the Commissioners had said the design for. the apar.tment
compler. was vecy poor, but there were a lot of restrictions they had to
abide by. He stated if the Commission does not like the design, they
would like a continuance to revise the plan for the apartment complex. He
stated the first question would be whether or. not the Commission would be
willing to permit the RM-2400 Zone on this property and Commissioners Fry,
Herbst and McBur.ney indicated they would not like to see the pruper.ty
rezoned.
Leonard McGhee stated Par.agr.aph 15 of the staff report indicates the
pr.operty is currently designated foc medium density r.esidential land uses
on the Gener.al Plan, per.mitting up to 36 units per acre, but the General
Plan is gener.al in nature and the frontage on Harbor is designated for

Car.yl Eoster., Kaiser. Development Company, stated during the last 4 years,
Kaiser Developme~t Company has made a substantial investment in this ar.ea
and own 90 acres in addition to this site. He stated this site is znned
CL and they ar.e requesting appcoval of 3 ccnditional use permits to allow
development of a hotel/motel, gas station/~ar w~~sh facility and a maximum
of 4 dinner. house and ~r.ive-thr.ough r.es:.aurants and ar.e r.equesting a
var.iance to r.educe the 150-foot landscaped set'~ack and an overall parking
variance for the site and a site screening variance. He stated due to the
physical constraints of the site, strict adhecence to the 150-foot setback
requirement would prohibit reasonable use of the property and to a large
extent, the lay out of the plan has been dictated by the unusual irreyulac
shape of the pr.oper.ty whi~h was established by the a~ignments of the Santa
Ana Canyon Road, Weir. Canyo~ Road and the 91 Freeway and also, there are 2
easements thr.ough the property and no structures can be built over those
easements. He stated thece is a grade difference of about 6 feet and the
site was extremely diEficult to wock with. He stated prior variances have
been granted on the property directly east across Weir. Canyon Road which
is similar to subject property.
Mr. Foster stated concerning parkin9, a maximum of 684 spaces would be
r.equired for. the di°ferent uses and that reflects the total number for the
different uses if coasider.ed separately, and ~hey ar.e providing 611
spaces, representing a 10$ reduction and they believe thete is sufficient
justification for approval of the reduction. He stated parking for hotels
is historically under utilized during the day and that site would provide
parking spaces foc ~he dr.ive-thcough r.estaurants and other. r.etail uses;
and that the financial and retail uses would be closed during the early
ev~ning hcui~s, leaving the spaces available for. the dinner. house and
restaurants and hotel. He stated there is reciptocal availability of
~hese parking spaces and it will be assured by the recordation of a
reciprocal ingr.ess/egress and parking agreement. He stated they have
worked with the Traffic Engineer from the beginning and have mitigated all
of his concer.ns.
tdr.. Fostec stated they are r.equesting a conditional use per.mit to allow a
gas station/car wash facility, and a mini-mar.t facility at the noctheast
corner. of the site and that these are very much needed facilities in that
area. He stated they ar.e also requesting a permit for. a maximum of 3

view, there is a demand at this time foc one facility, but once the area
gr.ows, in the next 2 to 5 year.s, ther.e would pr.obabl~ be suf£icient demand
for anothet hotel. He stated the app[ovals they obtained for. the Kaiser

established by the ociginal Envir.onmental Impact Repor.t.
Commissioner. Her.bst stated this propecty is in the Scenic Cocridor and
signs for restaurants and service stations would have to conform to those
regulations. Mr. Foster stated they made it a point ~hac even if the Ciky

possibility of using some portions of their scceenin9 wall for limited

Anaheim ar.e jointly meeting to discuss signs for the entire area.
Commissioner Messe asked if they ar.e r.eally comfortable with the location
of the service station. Mr. Foster stated they are comfortable with that
site and it was shown in that location originally; and it was their. intent
to minimize ~he visibility of the service station.
Commissioner Herbst stated ~her.e is more nee3 for a service station in
that area than for. fast-food restaur.ants and thought it might be better. to
locate it near Santa Ana Canyon Road. He stated r.egarding signs, he is
concer.ned because after they build a service station, the operator w~ll
want to come in and reqnest a latgec and higher si9n because they cannot
be seen fr.om the freeway and he wants it on the r.ecord that the petitioner
has been told that they do not have a har.dship for signs, but would be
building in their. own hatdship.
Mr. Foster. stated he recognizes t.hat point of concer.n and has expcessed it
to all of the people they have talked to and have indicated thete will be

Jay Titus responded to Commissioner Fcy that the number of patking spaces
included in the staff report includes the entir.e site if the uses were
created separately.
Mc. Foster ~tated ther.e will be recipr.ocal patking agreements and that is
a condition of approval of the final map; and that the maintenance will be
the cesponsibility of the owner.'s association and tht~re will be an
