MINUTES ANAHEIM CITY PLADT2IING COMMISSION Avril 25 19b8 88-563
Al Marshall, 4000 MacArthur Boulevard, Newport Beach, presented slides showing
the site is approximately 133 feet wide and 1119 feet long with a wholesale
nursery currently on the site. He added the project includes the channel aezt
to the property which is 73 feet wide by the length of the property; and that
they have met with the Orange County Flood Control District regarding this
proposal. He noted that strip of land is part of a three channel study which
the Orange County Flood Control District is completing; and that the nursery
next to it is a wholesale storage lot for a nursery. He indicated they are
proposing 84 one-bedroom, 2-story units, which are all oa the nursery site and
the parking and driveway are aver the channel, with a cul-de-sac turn-around
at the end.
Mr. Marshall stated the project will be an attractive 2-story project, with ao
subterranean parking; and that there is a project directly across the street
from the site which is 3-stories, 2-stories over semi-tuck under parking. He
stated he feels the project will greatly enhance the area.
Mr. Marshall stated the 2-story, slab-on-grade apartments adjacent to the
channel are approximately BO feet from the nearest single-family property
line. He stated they feel this would be a good use for this property and that
right now it is basically unusable. He stated they did have a homeowner's
meeting, and mailed notices to owners in a 300-foot radius, and had one
gentleman outside the radius contact them whose main concern was traffic onto
Dale Street. He stated another access to the property is a possibility and
there are several options, but they have not explored them at this time.
OPPOSITION•
Moriano Molina, 223 Reaoke St., Anaheim, stated he represents the neighbors
who are very much opposed to the continued building of apartment units in
their community and the primary reason for opposition is the overbuilding of
the community. He noted the traffic problem is very real and the apartment
building across from the site has increased traffic tremendously and caused
numerous accidents. He stated there is a school adjacent to the property
where children are• required to cross the street.
Mr. Molina stated their quality of life is lessened by the tremendous amount
of irresponsible Y~uilding and referred to other large complexes being
constructed or recently completed, including a 30-unit complex which replaced
a small medical complex oa Broadway, and one being constructed on Brookhurst
where a single-family dwelling used to stand and complexes at Sall and Dale.
He stated the increased traffic and increased demand oa City services have not
been properly addressed; and that there are a lot of apartments for rent in
Anaheim and he did not see the need for these units.
Kathleen 3ohnsoa, 2735 W. Tola Avenue, stated she lives in one of the homes
that backs up to the drainage ditch. She stated there are a lot of apartments
already on Lincoln and in the summer there is a lot of noise and fighting in
the parking lot, and one neighbor has had a bullet hole in his home and she
did not want more people there. She noted they have a very narrow back yard
4/25/88
MINUTES ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION Anril_2~. 1988 88-564
and with a 2-story agartment there, the tenants would be looking right down at
them all of the time. She also noted the school now has a very transient
school population which causes a lot of problems for the teachers. She also
voiced concern with building over the drainage ditch and stated 80 feet is not
very far from her back yard and she did not want this type project behind her
house.
Faye Molina, 223 Renoke Street, stated the proposed apartments are right
behind her neighborhood. She stated the slides made the streets look very
spacious and the buildings very pretty and the developer is saying how it
would enhance the appearance of the area but she did not think that is
correct, because the street is very narrow with a 3-story apartment on one
side and a 2-story apartment on the other. She stated when she walks in her
neighborhood now, she feels all the buildings do not enhance anything. She
explained they did get a letter regarding the meeting the developer mentioned,
but were out of town and the other neighbors did not get the letter.
Jay Cowan, 3030 Breakers Drive, Corona del Mar, owner of property immediately
north of the site, stated the property he cwns is developed with an RV park
and the people living is the park are primarily retired people; and that next
to him is a mobilehome park with older people living there, and his concern is
low-income housing being built on the property. Chairman Messe interrupted
saying he believed the request for affordable housing was deleted and Greg
Hastings, Senior Planner, clarified that the affordable housing has been
deleted.
Mr. Cowan noted the staff report shoxs a density of 74i while the code
requirement is S5~ maximum, and he felt that is a very high density for that
piece of property. He stated he felt they need at least an 8-foot high fence
between his property and the site because of the low-income type of people who
would be living there, and that he is concerned about security for the
residents on his property. He ?.udicated because of the slope of the land, the
floodwater flows across his property and across the adjacent property to the
rear to the flood control channel, and noted there would need to be drainage
holes through the fence to allow flood water to go through.
Lawrence Lindsay, 2059 Tola Avenue, stated he has resided there for 25 years
and they are very concerned because this has been a very law risk security
area and they are afraid of what this might bring in. He stated the carports
are going to back up to his yard and he was concerned about exhaust from
starting and stopping of cars.
Mary Woods, 2726 W. Lincoln, indicated she had never received any notice of
any kind and she is adjoining the property, and that her neighbors did not get
notices either. Chairman Messe asked if she was the owner of the property, to
which she replied that she was, and Greq Hastings indicated he would check
the file. Ms. Woods stated she was concerned about noise and privacy. She
noted it would be easy for people to hop the fence and to cut through to go to
Lincoln. She stated she is on the end of the project and is is favor of an
eight-foot high fence. She stated she is also concerned about the placement
of the trash containers.
4/25/88
MINUTES ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION April 25 1988 88-565
Steve Mikuls, 2749 W. To'a, stated he is concerned about this and would have
attende3 the meeting that was held had he really understood what the letter
was for. He stated his property borders the fence that would be adjacent to
this property and on the other side of the fence is where the people would be
parking their cars, and where the dumpsters would be located, etc., and their
bedrooms are on that side of the house, and he thought the noise from the
starting of cars would be waking them up in the morning. He stated is the
past he had a problem with kids running through his yard, and making holes in
the fence to get down into that flood control channel, and that he sees that
as a potential problem.
Mr. Mikuls stated a major problem is that he will lose a great deal of the
privacy he now enjoys and that he probably xould not have purchased his home
had he known this might happen. He stated he is not against growth but does
not feel the building of this complex is going to enhance the pronerty. He
stated he believes it will detract from the properties that border it.
RESUTTAL•
Al Marshall stated the maximum site coverage refers to the old site coverage,
which has changed and also the affordable was taken out. He stated their
ac*_ual site coverage is 55~. He said the maximwn under the RM-1200 would be
36 units to the acre and this project is for 28 units to the acre. He stated
he did not understand unless the flood control channel surface xas calculated,
and that is where the driveway is located.
Greg Hastings stated staff reviewed the coverage and came up with 74i..
Chairman Messe informed Mr. Marshall that they are still at 740 and it is
still listed as a waiver. Mr. Marshall stated they would recalculate that or
change it so that it meets Code, because with 28 units to the acre, be did not
know how they could go over the 55l.
Mr. Marshall referred to the line of sight, and pointed out they had pitched
the roofs on the carports to eliminate any visual intrusion into the
single-family backyards. He stated the mobilehome park is closer and they are
certainly willing to go along with an 8-foot fence there if permitted. He
noted that since 64 of these units are 1-bedroom and the rest bachelor units,
the occupancy in the units would be very low, because there is a limit of 2
adults per bedroom and that would keep the density very low in the project.
Replying to Chairman Messe, he stated the 16 bachelor units are 1-story. He
stated the project is not very visible from Dale Street, and that from the
back yards of the homes, they would basically see the roof line of the
carports behind, and the project would not be a direct visual intrusion into
the neighborhood at all.
Mr. Marshall noted also that the buildings would serve as an excellent buffer
between the neighborhood and the noise from Lincoln Avenue and the noise from
the apartments referred to. He stated the water runoff would be taken care of
and that the Flood Control District would not allow anything else to happen.

Responding to Chairman Messe, Mr. Marshall stated there could be an 8-foot
wall on both the north and south boundaries.
Chairman Messe noted that someone had been concerned about the trash
enclosures and Mr. Marshall stated they would be relocated oa the property,
adjacent to the street and would not be up against neighboring fences or
against their property, and would be buffered by the distance of the carport
which is 20 feet, plus a setback of 5 feet, plus the eight foot wall.
Magdy Hanna, agent, stated the property was difficult to design and that they
understood the concerns of the neighbors, and that one of the concerns was
traffic, and that the City Traffic Engineer could address that issue, but that
he has stated Dale Avenue could accommodate the additional traffic generated
by this project,. Mr. Hanna apologized to any person who did not receive a
letter, and explained they did ask the title company to provide them with a
list of names of all the property owners within the 300 foot radius and it was
done automatically by computer. He stated they did eliminate the affordable
housing and that they would be willing to revise the plans and reduce the site
coverage if the Commisson will grant them a continuance and that they would be
happy to provide the B-foot high fence. He noted the slope for the drainage
would be maintained and they would find a way to take the water straight to
the flood control channel.
Mr. Hanna referred to the concern about crime and stated by no means would
that type of people be living there; pointing out that people living there
would be making 52,000 to 53,000 per month, and that would be monitored
through their management company. He stated the trash location would be
addressed in revised plans and they would try to locate it in an area that
would not concern the neighbors. He stated the concerns about children
playing in the flood control channel would be minimized and, in fact, they are
studying the possibility of putting up security gates.
THE PUBLIC HEARIN~WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Souas asked if this would have to be readvertised for as 8-foot
wall and Greg Hastings replied that it would, since it requires a variance.
Responding to Chairman Messe, Mr. Marshall stated the back wall of the carport
is 8 feet high and the peak of the roof is approximately 12 feet, and that the
back of the carport would be a solid wall.
Commissioner Herbst stated in his opinion this is not a good design for
apartments. He stated he is very mucY. opposed to taking an existing open
space and building apartmenits; and because of the length. 'this will appear as
a barrack-looking building; and that the units would block the view of the
neighbors and probably block some of their air and sun. He noted this would
be the longest cul-de-sac 3,n Anaheim and he felt even the Fire Department
might have problems with t2te design, and they usually reject anything over 500
feet. He stated he recogn?izes the site has been used or zoned commercially,
at least part of it, but p;srt of it is zoned for open space, even though it is

IHUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLA.~:dING COMMISSION AP3i1 25 1988 BB-567
not shown, but that is what it was intended for because of the flood control
channel. He stated density is one thing he is very much concerned about; and
that Anaheim cannot keep increasing density on land not intended for this
density because it does create problems throughout with gridlock. He stated
the traffic study says commercial property creates more traffic than
apartments, but in reviewing this particular property, it will never be
commercial or used for anything ezcept what it is being used for now. He
stated he is very much opposed to covering the channel and using it for
garages right against someone's property and noted the neighbors bought their
homes years ago and in looking behind them, thought the ditch would remain
there.
Chairman Messe stated there would not be apartments built there unless the
Commission changes the General Plan, and asked staff to address the General
Plan Amendment.
Leonard McGhee, Associate Planner, stated the General Plan now designates the
property fear general commercial land use, as well as flood control. He anted
Exhibit A is the petitioner's request to amend the GP for medium density
designation. He stated Exhibit B is staff's alternative for low medium
density residential land use for the subject study area. Chairman Messe
stated Commission has to address the General Plan Amendment before they can
address the request for the reclassification for the apartments.
Commissioner Carusillo asked if staff is suggesting RM-2400 and Mr. McGhee
stated staff is just presenting an alternative for a less dense use than the
petitioner's request for the Commission's consideration.
Mr. Hanna asked if it is the desire of the Commission to see RM-2400 on the
site. Chairman Messe replied this property is zoned commercial, and that he
could not see anything commercial going on there :: asictd the other
Commissioners to state their feelings.
Commissioner Bouas stated she agreed with Commissioner Herbst and she did not
feel the property was meant to be developed residentially. She stated she did
not know that it was meant to be developed with anything, and that she would
hate to see a property owner own a parcel that they cannot develop, but that
she believed this would be impacting the area too much. She added she did not
feel that an RM-2400 development and covering the ditch in an effort to try
and make this piece of property really usable as residential is the answer,
and that she believed it really needs to be kept open space. She noted that
developer had done a fantastic job with what they had to work with there and
knew they were willing to go back to the drawing board and work with the
neighbors but she did not think it would do any good.
Mr. Hanna stated everyone has the right to develop their property and that it
could not be left as open space. Commissioner Souas stated the flood channel
could be left as open space. Mr. Hanna indicated the site could be developed
as mini storage or some other similar type of development. Commissioner Bouas
noted that mini storage could go on there but she did not know if the
4/25/88
MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, April 25, 1988 88-568
neighbors would want that either and stated she agrees that one has a right to
develop their property, but she thought to cover the flood control channel in
order to develop apartments there is not the answer.
Mr. Hanna noted commercial zoning would allow them to qo up as high as sir
stories if they wanted to do that, and stated they are trying to propose a
compromise. Commissioner Feldhaus asked Mr. Hanna if he wasted to try and
mitigate the problems and objections of the people and if he would accept the
results if the neighbors came back to the next meeting and still objected to
the plans. Mr. Hanna stated he would like to develop something the neighbors
are happy with.
Commissioner Carusillo stated two stories and the carports are a problem and
that perhaps with RM-2900, and the density cut is half, and pushing the
carports back, the project might be more palatable.
Mr. Hanna said he could redesign the rroject under RM-2400 and come back with
more of the items addressed and present something more compatible. Chairman
Messe stated he would like to see what could be done with an RM-2400 design.
'Commissioner Herbst asked if the property could be developed without covering
the ditch and Mr. Hanna saiii that would require more variances because they
would thin have a width problem. Commissioner Herbst stated that is just his
point and this site is aoc suitable for residential use without using the open
space that was there, anal he is opposed to that.
Commissioner Feldhaus stated he did not believe Mr. Hanna would be able to
talk to the people in a two-week period. Commissioner Herbst anted from
review of the staff report, that they have worked with the Flood Control
people, and asked what kind of conversation they have had since they are
apparently waiting for some type of action from the Planning Commission before
the developer will be given the right to cover the ditch and added he xas
concerned with wasting rveryone's time, if the Flood Control people say "no."
Mr. Hanna said he has an agreement with them, and his communication with them
is in writing, sad they wanted the project approved and then they would work
with developer to get the plans approved. He stated the Flood Control was in
agreement to cover the ditch, as long as they satisfy the engineering
requirements.
ACTIN: Commissioner Feldhaus offered a motion, seconded by Commissioner
McBurney and MOTION CARRIED (Commissioner Herbst voting NO) that subject
petition be continued to the regularly-scheduled meeting oa May 23, 1989, in
order for the petitioner to redesign with an RM-2400 design.
Commissioner McBurney stated he felt covering the channel is a better means of
getting rid of the open channels throughout the City. He added he feels the
channe?:: are a nuisance, not only from a safety standpoint with kids plaY'ng
in them, but also because of mosquito abatement and everything else, and that
he thought Mr. Hanna should be given the opportunity to review the project and
see what he can do with it and try to satisfy the neighbors.

Chairman Messe stated he hoped Mr. Hanna would get together with the neighbors
and discuss the new plans.
Freq Hastings, Senior Planner, stated the meeting would be on May 23, 1988,
and no notice would be sent out unless there are other waivers. Commissianer
Boydstun asked if staff would check to see if everyone received their notices
before, sine there may be a need to renotify and it appears some people did
not receive the first one. Mr. Hastings stated in checking the file, Ms.
Woods was missed, but the property was posted and we did put notice in the
newspaper.
Commissioner Bouas inquired if the 8-foot wall was to go in, would it have to
be readvertised and Mr. Hastings stated that it would. Commissioner Bouas
noted that no matter what goes on that site, there would be an 8-foot wall.
She suggested in meeting with the neighbors that Mr. Hanna could point out
what commercial uses could go in there, which they might not want to have.
Commissioner Carusillo stated if they reduce the project to 42 units, they
could move the carports to the north adjacent to the units with some
landscaping between the area, which may not require the B-faot wall.
Chairman Messe stated the matter has been continued for four weeks and he
wanted to remind the neighborhood that if Mr. Hanna does not come in with an
8-foot fence, this may not be readvertised, and suggested the neighbors should
check with the Planning Department. Mr. Hanna stated he would like the City
to readvertise this because he would come back with an 8-foot fence.
Commissioner Herbst asked staff to check if notices were seat to the tenants
at the mobilehome park, or if they were just seat to the owner of the park.
Mr. Hastings stated in this particular case, staff just notified the property
owner. Commissioner Herbst stated he thought the people abutting the property
in their mobilehomes, should not be forgotten and there is a need to find out
if Che property owner actually notified them.
Commissioner Boydstun asked for addresses of some of the properties Mr. Hanna
had done in Anaheim which are completed for her to visit. Mr. Hanna said he
had one project completed at 3160 W. Ball Road.
Commissioner Feldhaus asked for assurance that Ms. Wood would be contacted.
Ms. Molina asked Commission to define RM-2400. Chairman Messe informed her
that RM-2400 meant half the density that was proposed at RM-1200, and
according to Code, Mr. Hanna would have to come up with a development which is
designed at about 50~ of the density.
Mr. Marshall stated in order not to mislead anyone, that although they are
requesting RM-1200, they were not at the maximum, and with the RM-2400, they
would be closer to 60 units.

THE PiJBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Boydstun asked if they had an agreement with the railroad for an
easement across their property to the petitioner's parking lot. Mr. Schultz
stated as part of the escrow, they will have access to the property and they
will not impose or impact ':he railroad. Commissioner Feldhaus noted one of
the concerns of the Traffic Engineer was the backing up of vehicles into the
railroad right of way. He asked whether or not that property had been sold.
Mr. Schultz stated he had talked to the Traffic Engineer and that the railroad
spur was also a concern of applicant, and is why they had to redesign the
building. He stated they would make the west elevation more attractive, if
the Commission wishes, and stated he would meet with staff and satisfy any
concerns.
Chairman Messe stated there was one question concerning the railroad easement
but backing from the parking spaces onto that easement was really the concern
and not the access. He stated the parking lot plan shows in several places
that a car would actually have to back up across or onto that easement. Mr.
Schultz stated they would have to cross the easement but he did not think they
had to back onto it.
Responding to Chairman Messe, Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, stated the Public
Utilities Commission regulates railroad grade crossings and his concern was
that the parked vehicles on the one row adjacent to the railroad track would
have to back up onto the railroad track to pull out of a parking space, and he
would question how much of that area has been designated by the Public
Utilities Commission as a legal crossing.
John Flocken, owner, stated there is a very narrow strip of land that is a
third parcel which they cannot purchase because the railroad will not sell at
this time. He stated it contained a spur that formerly served the building
next door, and the spur has been abandoned, and part of their escrow
instructions is that they receive that ingress and egress. He noted the area
between the ATS6F and Southern Pacific is used strictly for parking. He
stated after they started their study, he nested the rail cars sit there for
three to four days and any time there is P train that comes across Atchison
Street, it travels at a very slow rate with the switchman walking is front.
He stated there is plenty of ingress and egress not involving that crossing
that covers Atchison St. He stated he believed the concern was that the
trucks that back into the loading dock might be backing up across that
crossing on the street.
Commissioner Carusillo indicated he believed a lot of people are forgetting
that there has been a lot of redevelopment downtown and some day the
characteristic of that whole area is going to change and he would like to see
more conformance. He suggested that maybe a fence along the parking lot to
prohibit backing up over the tracks, and maybe one entrance and exit closer to

Mr. Flocken replied they want the facility to look good and noted the building
they have was constructed in 1928, and that he has been trying to buy the
property to the north of them for about 10 years. He stated he believed
putting is a smaller building would not be cost effective, and that he
believed this project will upgrade the area. He stated it will be a warehouse
and a nice facility and they will have both sides of the street and are
anxious to keep it attractive. He presented pictures taken of the area.
Chairman Messe stated he would like to settle the question of the Public
Utilities Commission, and Mr. Flocken stated they were out of business for a
full week because they had a couple of rail cars that could not be delivered
because of the condition of the track, and they had been in constant
communication with Santa Fe and Southern Pacific, even reminding them if a
railcar jumped the track and hit their building, the railroad company would be
liable and they won't fix the track. He stated they asked them to come and
take a spike out of the switch so they could use it to put the cars on their
site, so the~r could unload them and go back into production. He stated they
were dealing directly with the railroad at that time, not the PUC.
Joseph W. Fletcher, Deputy City Attorney, stated we need to distinguish
between a crossing at a public right-of-way or movements adjacent to the
tracks. He stated if the Commission is talking about movements oa adjoining
property, he did not know to what extent the PUC gets involved; however, they
are obviously concerned where public traffic crosses the tracks and those
definitely have to be PUC approved crossings.
Commissioner Messe suggested a condition that the City approval is subject to
PUC approval, if necessary, and that the Commission does not know if it is an
abandoned spur.
Co~mnissioner McBurney asked Mr. Singer if the_PUC were to issue a letter
stating that is an abandoned spur, would it alleviate his concerns about the
traffic backing into that area. Mr. Singer stated he personally does not have
a problem with this, but is trying to avoid litigation or stoppage b}' the PUC
of the City's action, and his concern is that it may be something that the PUC
has to regulate. He stated if the PUC would issue a statement or letter
indicating that the development of theproperty, as shown on the plan, meets
their regulation, then he has no problem with it.
Commissioner McBurney stated possibly if that written approval does not come
through, then maybe the parking lot could be redesigned and a fence installed
as suggested by Commissioner Carusillo, with some parallel parking along the
fence, with one entrance.
Mr. Flockner stated they have chain link fences around their other parking
lots for security reasons. Chairman Messe clarified that Commissioner
McBurney was referring to a fence along the property line on the side of the
easement so the cars cannot back onto that easement. Mr. Flockner stated he
did not know that it would be necessary for the PUC to issue a letter or if
they even have jurisdiction.

Commissioner Bou.'s etated if PUC does not have jurisdiction, they should issue
a letter that ti~;~y do not. Commissioner McBurney stated that would satisfy
the same thing Mr. Singer was talking about.
Commissioner Carusillo stated he thought the concerns about the landscaping
could be alleviated, and also that the confusion over whether the PUC gets
involved or not could be resolved and with a 4-foot high fence along the
railroad track, and redesigning the parking spaces to allow just ingress and
egress from a driveway nearer the truck docks, he thought the project could be
approved. Mr. Flockner responded they had envisioned one access, and the
entrance and exit would be one. Commissionez Carusillo stated if it is left
wide open, it would be simple for the people on the north side of the parking
lot to just back over the tracks. Mr. Flockner stated they were going to
blacktop the parking lot.
Mr. Carusillo stated the plans called for some potted landscaping by the
office and suggested that be continued, and Mr. Flockner st*.t~d that would
require a variance because it is City property.
ACTION: Commissioner Herbst offered a motion, seconded by Commissioner Bouas
and MOTION CARRIED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission has reviewed the
proposal to permit construction of a warehouse/office building with waiver of
minimum structural setback and minimum number of parking spaces on an
irregularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately U.93 acre,
having a frontage of approximately 195 feet on the east side of Atchison
Street, having a maximum depth of approximately 124 feet and being located
approximately 176 feet north of the centerline of Santa Ana Street and further
described as 424 So. Atchison Street (MCP Foods); and does hereby approve the
Negative Declaration upon finding that it has considered the Negative
Declaration together with any comments received during the public review
process and further finding on the basis of the Initial Study and any comments
received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the euviroament.
Commissioner Herbst offered Resolution No. PC-88-107 and moved for its passage
and adoption that the Anaheim City Planning Commission does hereby grant
Variance No. 3783 on the basis that there are special circumstances applicable
to the property such as size, shape, topography, location and surroundings
which do not apply to other identically zoned property in the same vicinity;
and that strict application of the Zoning Code deprives the property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties is the identical zone and
classification in the vicinity and subject to Interdepartmental Committee
recommendations, adding a condition that petitioner secure a letter from the
Public Utilities Commission stating that development of the property, as shown
on the plans, meets their regulations, and subject to City Traffic Engineer's
approval.

wants to make sure that the City does not get involved in any litigation with
the PUC regarding a crossing that has been strictly regulated by that body.
Commissioner Carusillo asked about the public's safety with backing out at the

Commissioner Bouas asked what size trees the code requires. Greg Hastings,
Senior Planner, stated actually the code does not have a requirement on the
size of the tree, and just has a requirement regarding the footage height that
the tree needs to be after a period of ten years. He noted staff has
typically used, by policy, 15 gallon.
Chairman Messe asked Mr. Elfend if the 15 gallon size was what he had in mind
to place there and Mr. Elfend replied that it was.

and MOTION CARRIED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission does hereby find
that Environmental Impact Report No. 273, previously certified by City Council
on June 23, 1987, for The Highlands Specific Plan (SP 87-1) is adequate to

Frank Elfend, 4675 MacArthur Court, Suite 660; Newport Beach, responded that
the City has a Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone which is Section 18.84.042 of the
Development Standards and they will comply with those standards as they relate
to replacement of specimen trees which requires a certain coverage within ten
years. He stated the environmental effects related to removal of the trees
were evaluated with the prior EIR, and at that time no trees were found to be
on the site which contained any rare and endangered species located within the
trees to be removed.
He pointed out this project site proposes to maintain Deer Canyon and that
area contains several specimen trees, all of which are of utmost importance
and in excellent condition. He stated also, as a part of the Highland
Specific Plan, the developer had agreed to eliminate all ridge line grading
adjacent to the Weir Canyon Park for the purpose of preserving those trees.
He stated this is one project where the developer has considered tree
placement on the site, and the degree to which some would be maintained and
some developed in conjunction with housing and the trees that are being
considered are, for the most part, actually almost all in the right-of-way of
Serrano.
He noted they had been told by some of their biologists that replanting of Oak
Trees is not always a very successful program, and the mitigation plan which
has been prepared for the City, proposes a 2 to 1 replacement, greater than
what the code provides for, but much less than that which has been negotiated
with the Department of Fish and Game. He stated that right now they are
working on completing a permit with t!~em, in which they have asked for 200
Aurora Willow Trees and 16 Black Willow Trees, so there will be a fair amount
of trees planted in that area for the loss that will occur.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Herbst inquired of Mr. Elfend what the timing was from the time
the trees are taken out to the time of replanting. Mr. Elfend stated the
trees would be replanted for this project, or located within the Deer Canyon
area - in fact his biologist told him that the trees had to be planted within
the next 90 to 120 days. He noted that when they are out there doing the
work, they would not be able to do any planting along the area. Mr. Elfend
said there is a condition on the staff report which indicates that prior to
final zoning and building inspection that those trees have to be planted so
they will be planted before the development is completed.
Commissioner Herbst said he wanted to make a statement about Anaheim Hills,
and that he was involved wehn development first started; and that area was
very barren ground and today there are thousands of trees planted on private
property and in the open spaces. He stated he felt the few trees that would
be lost here would be minimal compared to the thousands of trees that would be
planted on the Highlands project over the next few years and it won't be
looking like a bare piece of ground.

several essential public improvements at an earlier date, including the entire
construction of the Serrano/Weir Canyon Road connection on the site prior to
occupancy of the first home, accelerated funding to assist the city in the
widening of Santa Ana Canyon Road from Imperial Highway to the Bauer Ranch, a
fully graded police substation site; and their proportionate share cost for
the construction of a street maintenance center on the Oak Hills Ranch before
a single home is occupied.
Mr. Elfend then presented the tentative tract maps for the project, noting the
maps are identical to the tentative tract maps contained within Exhibit 13 of
the approved Specific Plan. He noted a restoration and enhancement program
for the removal of specimen trees in compliance with Specific Plan Condition
99. He added the developer has provided a comprehensive plan within the
arroyo area to mitigate the loss of trees.
Mr. Elfend noted that Development Area No. 1 (Tract 12995) is to be 231
single-family attached townhomes; Development Area No. 3 (Tract 12994) is 451
multiple-family attached units; Development Area Nos. 4, 6 and 7 (Tracts
12993, 13153, b 12987) are minimum 4,000 sq. Et. lot homes with an average lot
size of 6,056 sq. ft. and interior living space ranging from 1300 - 1950 sq.
ft. He stated the products presented in this single-family area are larger
than what was presented during the Specific Plan process. He stated
Development Area No. 8 (Tract 12998) is minimum 5,000 sq. ft. lot homes with
average lot size of 7,612 sq. ft. and interior living space ranging from 2,000
- 2,700 sq. ft., with typical elevations; Development Area No. 9 (Tracts
12989, 13154 b 13155) is minimum 4,000 sq. ft. lot homes with an average lot
size of 6,663 sq. ft. and interior living space ranging from 1,740 - 2,225 sq.
ft.; Development Area Nos. 2 and 5 (Tracts 12991 b 12996), less the open space
within the tracts themselves comprise approximately 20 acres of commercial
land use.
Mr. Elfend anted there are over 120 conditions on each tentative map, and
asked that certain conditions be deleted or revised based on existing
circumstances. He noted the Commission was just handed a list of some
revisions that were agreed upon with staff and discussed prior to today's
hearing, and that he would like to discuss some additional items. Chairman
Messe clarified these would be is addition to what Commission was just handed
and Mr. Elfend replied that was correct.
Mr. Elfend stated he would like to delete those conditions of approval which
have already been satisfied by the approved Development Agreement, and would
defer to Mr. Fletcher because he knew the agreements had not been executed as
yet but had been approved by the City Council.
Joseph W. Fletcher, Deputy City Attorney, stated by state law, the Development
Agreements, are required to be adnoted by an ordinance, and the ordinance is
subject to a 30-day referendum period, and only upon the successful passage of
the referendum period and execution and recordation, are the agreements fully
in effect and binding. He stated his recommendation would be, that if the
Commission wants to defer these conditions, they should wait to make sure the
4/25/88
ES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION April 25 1988 88-57
referendum period passes and the contracts become effective. He responded to
Chairman Messe that City Council has passed the Development Agreement, through
the adoption of the ordinances.
Mr. Elfend stated it would be helpful for the purposes of the hearing this
date and subsequently recording the first final map, which he hopes to do in
the immediate future, to at least put on the public record that pursuant to
that Development Agreement, those conditions have been satisfied. He
explained the conditions are Condition Nos. 11 (library site), 12 (police
substation site), 17 (street maintenance center), S 79 (areawide circulation
improvements), and those conditions have all been satisfied by the Development
Agreement, which will be executed in the near future.
Mr. Elfend referred to Condition No. 95 which states that the property owner
shall furnish the City of Anaheim an agreement in a form to be approved by the
City Attorney agreeing to complete the public imF:~vements required as
conditions of this map at the owner's expense. Mr. Elfend suggested that in
the approval of the Specific Plan and the Vesting Tentative Maps, there were
several conditions which require similar language which is provided by
Condition No. 95, and that had a lot of these improvements satisfied by the
Development Agreement, and L'hey would like to delete conditions of approval
which are repetitious to simplify the process of the first map to the extent
possible.
Mr. Fletcher stated Condition Ne. 95 reflects a section of the Subdi~:•ision Map
Act which requires that if any public improvements identified in the map are
not completed prior to recordation, the City must enter into a Subdivision
Improvement Agreement with the developer, which will provide for completion of
the improvements, and bonding for the improvements. He stated to so~::~ extent
there may be repetitive conditions, but they may be covering different issues
and he felt it is important that the Map Act be complied with and make sure
the Subdivision Improvement Agreement is provided for and executed.
Diana Hoard, Baldwin Company, representing The Summit Project, commented that
Tract 12992 contains the park adjacent to The Summit project, and they are
currently working with Parks and Recreation Staff to come up with a plan in
that area which is mutually acceptable to everyone; and that she hoped for
continued cooperation so that the park matches the City's desires. She
responded to Chairman Messe that it was not final and the tract before them
(Tract 12992) does not precisely correspond with what staff has asked them to
consider. She stated they are proceeding with plans based on what staff has
asked them to consider.
Mr. Elfend stated the configuration shown on the Tentative Map is the
configuration that was approved by this Planning Commission and City Council
for the Specific Plan. He stated when they got the conditions of approval,
and because they had some concern regarding their desire to change that
particular configuration, they took a condition of approval which specifies
that there has to be substantial compliance and conformance with that design
shown on the Tentative Map unless, in essonce, the Sycamore Canyon developer
4/25/88
MINUTES ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, April 25 1988 88-580
would agree otherwise. He added although it is true what Diana Hoard has
said, he wanted to clarify that the configuration which is shown is consistent
with what was approved with the Specific Plan.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Carusillo asked Ms. Hoard about the mutual understanding for
construction equipment access over the Sycamore Canyon property for her
development, that he understood Sycamore Canyon developer was waiting on her
response to remedy that agreement. He stated the Commission was told this
morning that the ball was in her court and it would require some rewording to
get some mutual agreement on the access, rather than as a condition stipulated
to for approval.
Ms. Hoard stated she thought she had done what she was supposed to, but
obviously they need to communicate more on this issue. She stated as long as
they are on record agreeing to work it out, she thought they could proceed,
and that she believed everyone is going to be agreeable.
Commissioner Bouas asked if they would stipulate that they are willing to work
out any problems. Mr. Elfend said they could work out the problems.
Commissioner Bouas inquired if they could work out all the problems, including
the Park. Chairman Messe noted it sounded like they would have to get
together, and for the best interest of the developments and the City of
Anaheim, he would like to see that agreement worked out.
Commissioner Bouas stated she wanted to be sure that the developers and Park
and Recreation Department would all be able to work out something agreeable
and that would fit both plans. Mr. Elfend stated they would work in
cooperation.
Joel Fick, Planning Director, stated there is one additional condition which
staff would recommend, and that is in order to be consistent with the
additions the Planning Commission made to the Development Agreement and is the
other approvals, staff would recommend that the condition that construction
access not take place from the Canyon Rim/Serrano area be incorporated into
each of the tracts, and would instead, take place from Weir Canyon. Chairman
Messe asked if that is the condition that had been placed on the other
developers, and Mr. Fick replied it is the same and is needed in order to be
consistent with the Development Agreement. Mr. Elfend stated that condition
is acceptable to them.
Chairman Messe asked if Mr. Elfend had reviewed all the changes, and Mr.
Elfend stated he had.

There was no one indicating their presence in opposition to subject request
and although the staff report was not read, it is referred to and made a part
of the minutes.
Joe Peng, agent, was present to answer questions.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Bouas asked Mr. Peng to describe the type of business proposed.
Mr. Peng responded the business would be a restaurant to be opened 7 days a
week and oa weekends and holidays the business hours would be from 9:00 p.m.
to 1:30 a.m. with ballroom sty~~ dancing and a live band. He emphasized that
it was not a disco with rock and roll music and he explained the sound system
is designed for clarity and not volume for ballroom dancing.
Commissioner Herbst asked how he intended to separate the dance hall 6r!+m the
restaurant. Mr. Peng responded the restaurant and dance hall are se~sra;`.ed by
a bar, buffet area and an office.
Chairman Messe pointed out the restaurant is adjacent to RS-7200 single-family
homes and he was concerned about the volume of the music as there appeared to
be ao acoustical treatment and the noise could cause a problem for the
neighborhood.
Mr. Peng stated they are careful with the type of speakers they install and
they are built just for clarity.
4/25/88
MINUTES ANAHEIM CITY PLANING COMMISSION April 25 1968 88-631
Chairman Messe asked whether 2s not there was acoustical treatment on the
south wall. Jim Robertson, Architect, stated that is an 8 inch thick concrete
block wall and acoustical treatment could be put oa the inside of the wall.
Commissioner Bouas asked about doors opening to the outside. Mr. Robertson
responded the only door as that wall is a double hollow metal door, but the
two doors are used for emergency exit only and the main entrance is to the
parking lot to the north and the emergency doors could be alarm locked. He
responded to Commissioner Bouas that the delivery door is on the south. He
stated he would stipulate that these doors would be alarm locked sa the people
would be able to eait through the main entrance.
Responding to Commissioner Feldhaus, Mr. Robertson stated that building does
have sprinklers.
Commissioner Herbst stated the Commission cannot authorize dancing and that
permit would have to be approved by the City Council.
Commissioner Bouas asked about the 400 proposed parking spaces for the entire
center.
Responding to Chairman Messe, Mr. Peng stated they do have auequate air
conditioning so the people who are dancing would not need to open the doors.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, stated both items 11 and 12 have a parking
waiver requested and a parking study was conducted for the original request
which was predominately for restaurant uses, a he-~lth club and a toy store in
the center which would be an overwhelming amount of parking. He stated since
then the developer has reduced the restaurant from 10,000 square feet to 5,000
square feet and has included this dance hall facility and removed the
designation of a health club from one of the retail buildings, still leaving
the toy store in place. He stated this reduction has mitigated the parking
problem and the only remaining concern is the dance hall because the fire code
permits as occupancy of 406 people which would generate a need for 127 parking
spaces; however, it could be accommodated if the hours were not in conflict
with the heavy uses of the restaurants elsewhere on the site. He explained
the requirement was 600 spaces and with the new configuration is 537, so there
is a reduction of some 70 parking spaces.
Responding to Commissioner Boydstun, Mr. Robertson explained the other
restaurant proposed on the site is a part of Item No. 12.
Mr. Peng further explained on week days they only use the dining room as three
is no dancing during the week, and on weekends the dancing starts at 9:00 p.m.
and peaks around 10:30 p.m. and most of the businesses in the area are closed
at that time. He explained weekends are Friday, Saturday, Sundays and
holidays.
Commissioner Bouas asked the type of food that would be served and Mr. Peng
responded they would be serving Chinese food.
Mr. Robertson concerning Item No. 12, stated the parking study was conducted
by Justin Farmer and meetings were held with Mr. Singer because he had some
problems with the proposed tenants, and that Mr. Peng is one of the proposed
9/25/88
1
tenants. He explained it hecame apparent to accommodate the proposed uses,
they would need a parking variance. He stated after meeting with Mr. Singer,
they omitted the health club and reduced the fast food uses to 5,300 square
feet, the restaurant remains and Toy City is existing, and with these
concessions, Mr. Singer was supportive of the traffic study. He stated the
approval o~ the parking variance is necessary for Mr. Peng to have the
restaurant as requested in Item No. 11.
Commissioner Feldhaus asked the length of lease indicating the Commission may
want to gut some type of time restriction on approval. Mr. Peaq responded he
has a five-year lease with a five-year option.
Commissioner Herbst stated he would only be concerned about the parking during
the Christmas holidays if this became as active retail center, and the other
stores staying open much later.
Paul Singer stated the parking study consultant made as evaluation on the 20th
highest demand day of the year which would be the parking demand for a typical
day. He stated his staff can keep monitoring the parking and that the
applicant has agreed to the reduction in restaurant area until a track record
is established.
Chairman Messe stated he went to a restaurant/dance hall in Garden Grove
recently and there were about 140 people waiting in line to get in.
Commissioner McBurney stated at 4:00 p.m. the other stores would be closed,
except during the holiday.

OWNERS: PHILIP W. GANONG, E.T AL, ATTN: JANET GANONG, 2307 Myrtle Street,
Bakersfield, CA 92301. AGENT: SAND DOLLAR DEVELOPMENT, ATTN: WILLIAM
BLANCHARD, 17802 SKYPARK CIRCLE, SUITE 109, IRVINE, CA 92714. Property is
approximately 2.3 acres located at the southwest corner of Short Street and
Kellogg Drive.
Request for deletion or modification of Condition Nos. 4 and 5 of Tentative
Traci 'rlo. 13130 pertaining to street design and improvements.
There was no one indicating their presence in opposition to subject request
and although the staff report was not read at the public hearing, it is
referred to and made a part of the minutes.
William Blanchard, agent, stated they are requesting that Condition Nos. 4
and 5 be amended; that Condition No. 4 Called for parking on both sides of
the private street and that 7 of the lots have 3-car garages and they feel
parking on one side of the street is adequate and staff agrees; that
Condition No. 5 originally called for street improvements on Kellogg and
Short Streets and they agree with the improvements on Kellogg, but feel
Short Street should only include curbs and gutters since there would be a
substantial cost to the homeowners for no benefit since the sidewalk would
end at the corner of Calle Maridor and Short Street. He explained the
elementary schooi vas closed last year and foot traffic should be very
limited and also a sidewalk would require a retaining wall of over 300 feet
on Short Street adding a cost of X60,000 to the cost of the 8 homes. He
presented pictures showing there are no sidewalks beyond their property.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Arthur Daw, Deputy City Engineer, responded to Commissioner McBurney that
their office is aware that the elementary school vas closed las: year;
however, the elementary school is actually being used by the high school.
Commissioner Carusillo stated the sidewalk requirement is a safety concern
for the children's sake.
Mr. Blanchard stated he has heard that the school district is considering
that land as an excess parcel and it would be sold.
Mr. Dav stated the City has had discussions with the school district
regarding them constructing a pedestrian overcrossing at Reilogg to
facilitate students going to and from school and from one school to another.
Commissioner Carusillo stated he still feels the sidewalk should be
instailed on Short Street and Commissioner McBurney stated the City of Yorba
Linda has indicated they will never install sidewalks in order to maintain
the rural atmosphere and he did not think anything would be accomplished by
requiring that sidewalks be installed.
Mr. Dav stated most of Short Street has existing curb and gutter located 18
to 20 feet from the centerline of the street which provides for on street
parking and the Engineering staff has agreed that due to the condition of
4/25/8$
MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY_PLANNING COMMISSION, April 25, 1988 88-636
the slope, to permit the curb and gutter on Short Street to be constructed
at 15 feet from the centerline and that the street be posted for "no
parking" and that does not provide ,+ny room for pedestrian traffic so that
is a concern for safety end the Eng.neering staff feels sidewalks should be
installed to provide for that safety.
Commissioner McBurney asked if providing the 3 feet of asphalt, since they
do not have to provide the ultimate width, would be sufficient to offset the
costs of the sidewalk.
Mr. Blanchard stated the problem is not the paving, but the slope which is
very severe and a retaining wall would be required and they do not see any
benefit derived for that cost.
Mr. Daw stated the actual slope is in the right of way and the existing berm
is located approximately 15 feet from the centerline of the street and the
flat area in back of the berm before the slope is only 3 feet and in order
to construct the sidewalk, they would have to add to the slope to support
the sidewalk.
Mr. Blanchard stated the homeowners directly to the vest in the City of
Yorba Linda are all against putting in a sidewalk and want to retain the
semi-rural atmosphere. It vas noted the residents within 300 feet in Yorba
Linda were notified of this hearing.
Commissioner Herbst stated from what Mr. Dav has said about the width of the
street in Yorba Linda, he did not know where the kids would walk, except in
the road itself.
Mr. Blanchard stated the children to the north do not attend that school and
added they are willing to add as much as possible to the curb and thought
two feet would make that street eider than the str>et in Yorba Linda.
Mr. Dav stated the Engineering Department has agreed that the curbs and
gutters could be installed 15 feet from the centerline of the street and the
normal requirement is a minimum of 18 feet in that area.
Hr. Blanchard answered Commissioner Houas that they are really trying to
eliminate the requirement for the retaining wall and that means elimination
of the sidewalk because the wall would be required to support the slope and
they would also be intruding on the privacy of the neighbors in the rear and
that the slope is not on their property and they do not know where they
could install a screen to provide that privacy.
Commissioner Herbst stated he would not vote against the Engineering
Department and agreed that they are right.
ACTION: Commissioner Herbst offered a motion, seconded by Commissioner
Mc Burney and MOTION CARRIED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission does
hereby find after review of the previously approved Negative Declaration and
Intitial Study, together with any comments received during the public review
process that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a

MOTION CARRIED (Commissioners Bouas and HcBurney voting no) that the Anaheim
City Planning Commission does hereby amend Condition No. 4 to read as
follows:
4. "That "A" Street shall be improved in accordance with Engineering
Department Standard Detail No. 122 for parking on one side of the
