Continued from the meeting of May 9, 1988.
There were 37 persons indicating their presence in oppositioublicshearing, it
request; and although the staff report vas not read at the p
is referred to and made a part of the minutes.
Brent Nergvizian, agent, explained this is a 47-unit project with 25
two-bedroom, 2-bath units and 22 bachelor units. He stated ereunits thanng to
provide a luxury apartment project which will have much bigg
usual. He indicated he does have 17 letters to support this request and just
received four additional Setters at the meeting today. He stated a line of
sight drawing vas prepared to shoe the project and they are requesting a
waiver for minimum building site area per duelling unit and are requesting
reclassification of the property to RM-1200 and in that designation they
would be alloyed to develop 43 units, and his request is for an additional
four units. He stated the City policy is to call subterranean parking a
story, and that this project is actually two stories of living area over the
garage. Concerning the bachelor units, he stated he wanted to offer larger
townhouse style units.
Mr.Nerguizian stated they did have a meeting with 35 people from the
neighborhood and received various responses of concern, and they have limited
the building height to 29 feet, and that they could not provide a one-story
project which the people in the neighborhood would like to see.
Don Burton, 940 Winter Street, stated they did submit a petition. Chairman
Messe responded that all the Commissioners did receive a copy of the petition
with 218 signatures. Mr. Burton continued there were 133 homes involved and
trey did make a map to shoe the location of those people who signed the
petition, and pointed out that the church is on the opposite side, and they do
have signatures from all homeonwers around the property.

MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION May 23, 1988 88-697
CCmmissioner Boydstun pointed out the Commission received a letter from the
church.
Mr.Burton continued they are opposed to the multi-story apartments being
placed in their neighborhood. He stated General Plan Amendment No. 169
permitted single-story units on the vest side of Citron and they do not wish
to have anything higher than that, and they do not rant the high density that
xould come from a 3-story apartment project. He stated there xere also other
minor objections and other people wishing to speak.
Harriet Gorzall, 956 N. Winter, stated she helped collect the signatures and
dic: not have one refusal, and the main objections are the high density and
traffic. She stated the traffic is heavy already in that area.
Hs. Gorrall asked if the Commision received a letter from Mr. d. Mrs. Lester
who could not attend the meeting and Chairman Messe responded the Commission
does have a copy of that letter.
Ms.Gorrall stated they are concerned that this project would bring more
traffic. She explained she did not receive a card about this hearing. She
pointed out she overheard a child telling a friend about the dangerous corner
at Winter and Autumn and thought it interesting that a small child would
realize the traffic is so bad that they would tell their friends to be
careful. She referred to several accidents which have ocurzed in the area.
Fred Bybee, 845 North Citron, stated he would like to address the crime and
traffic in the area. He stated Citron Street is a drag strip now and his
children are not alloyed to play ir. their own front yard because it is too
dangerous. He stated he has seen time and time again where traffic did not
stop to enter North Street at Wilhelmina and he would be concerned about an
increase in traffic with possibly 96 to 100 more vehiices and people would be
looking for different routes to take to work because of the congestion, and
they xould be cutting through their tract creating a bad traffic situation for
the residents.
Mr. Bybee pointed out Anaheim High School is located in that area and they
have a lot of foot traffic, and a lot ~f gang members from the Chevy Chase
area come into their area. He stated he ie a police officer and is very
concerned about the crime in the area which has been very little over the last
10 years; and that multiple family units do attract criminals and the
underground parking area is a prime place for a burglar to work, and the
potential increase for burglaries is tremendous, and that drugs would be
a problem in that area. He stated if a variance 1s granted for 3 stories, it
xould just be an addition to all the other variances xhich have been granted
all over. He stated he is not opposed to changes and improvements, but he did
not want to attract the wrong element to that area, and he felt personally,
that this would ruin that neighborhood.

MINl7TES ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, May 23, 1988 88-698
Ben Cooper, 923 North Winter, stated notices were sent to people xhose
properties might be affected by this proposal and asked if the request would
be ended if most of the property owners do not want it in their area.
Chairman Messe explained the notices are sent to ail property owners within
300 feet of a proposed project and that the Commission does listen to both
sides of the issue. Mr.Cooper stated he would like to knox xhy something liY.e
this would be shoved down the throats of the people who do not want it in
their neighborhood. He stated the only person who wants it is the property
owner selling the property and the developer. He added he did not know why
the neighbors have to go through these hearings.
Commissioner Herbst stated this is a free country and everyone has the right
to ask for what they rant on their property, and it means also that the
neighbors who are opposed have the right to voice their opposition. He stated
the developer can state the reasons he feels the request should be granted and
the opposition can state why they are opposed, and it is then up to the
Planning Commission to decide if the request is reasonable for the property
and a good use for the area. He added everyone has the same rights, and that
doesn't mean that the request will be granted.
Mr.Cooper stated the traffic has been mentioned and he cannot imagine 96 to
100 more cars trying to park in that area, and he did not think the people
would park in the underground parking garage.
Bonnie Sybee, 845 North Citron, stated she did not plan to speak, but when she
saw that all her neighbors were concerned, she wanted to voice her opinion.
She said she sees no benefit whatsoever to allowing this use in their
neighborhood and it can only harm the area, and she has seen it happen in
other areas and it saddens her. She stated she drove around during the
weekend and looked at different areas of Anaheim, and she sax apartments
popping up everywhere and she believed this rill hurt and change the
neighborhood.
Darrell Ament, 923 Fall Place,•stated he agrees r•ith the points that have been
made and wanted to make sure the Commission is aware that in 1961 the City
Council adopted General Plan Amendment No. 169, and at that time the Planning
Commission indicated those properties on the west side of Citron should be
developed single story only. He stated the property owners have made
investments to improve their properties based on a set of ground rules and
that he has personally made a decision to invest money and remodel his
property based on that same set of ground rules because he felt they would be
adhered to, and he hoped the Planning Commission would continue to uphold that
policy for one story units only in that area.
Edna Olsen, 912 North Citron, owner of property on the east side of the
street, stated she purchased her property and bu11t her house long before any
developments came in, and that she has lived there since 1947, and is 75 years
old and would like to be able to live in her home and not feel that she has to
move. She stated she is afraid this density will bring crime to the area, and
the underground parking garage xould be a place for drug exchanges, etc. She
stated she does not want to see this type development put in that area,
because the area is one story and they want to keep it that way. She stated
she is concerned about crime and traffic, and that they already have txo
churches on either side and many times the cars are parked across her drivexay

and she cannot get out. She stated she thought this would add a tremendous
load on Citron Street, and she personalty did not like to see this happen.
She stated these waivers should not be granted and 47 units is just too many
for that small property.
William Jolissaint, 1001 North Citron, stated this project xould be almost
next door to his property, and that he and his xife are members of Anaheim
Beautiful and the Cultural Arts Center and they would like to keep the city as
beautiful as possible, and their property as nice as possible. He stated he
cannot quite understand what is happening to the residential areas of Anaheim
and he did not understand why developers want to purchase their properties.
He pointed out there are four nice homes on that property which xill be
demolished and a 3-story apartment complex developed on 1.2 acres. He stated
he thought that is just too many units for that size property, and they do not
want to have such an apartment complex on the zest side of Citron. He stated
there are 2 or 3 projects now on Citron, all one story which are beautifully
landscaped and they look nice, but this would be a 3-story complex with
underground parking; and that there would be a tremendous increase in t.ra-ffic
with a 47-unit project adding more than 96 vehicles. He stated in most cases
both people would be working and have to have a vehicle and could be xorking
at different hours. He stated he does want tc see progress but wants to see
reasonable, sensible progress.
Itii. Nerguizian stated these homes are much older than the others and are
sitting on larger lots and are not being maintained and one property that is
rented has a lot of junk cars stored on it. He stated according to the City
Traffic Engineer, Citron Street is adequate to handle the traffic from this
project, and that people exceeding the speed limit, Greeting a drag strip and
not stopping is something they cannot control and that possibly stop signs
should be installed, which is something they would be willing to do. He
added, however, that is a police enforcement problem. Concerning crime, he
stated it has been said that underground parking is a detriment, and they had
submitted plans with gates, but the City asked that the gates be removed. He
stated he did not believe multiple-family units attract criminals and the
rents for these units xouid be j400 to $600 per month for the bachelor unit
and ;850 per month for the other units, and that people living there v?ill have
to earn ;20,000 to ;30,000 a year. He stated they have tried to mitigate the
effects of this project, and there is a 20-foot landscaped buffer area in the
rear; and that the second story of living area is BO feet from the property
line. He stated they would be willing to put in an 8-foot high xall, and
added there would be no windows looking into those single-family residential
yards. He stated he would like to try to work with the City to make the
project acceptable, and that they have tried to get constructive criticism
from the homeowners, but they have negative attitudes and comments and want
only single-story units and anything else would not be acceptable.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Herbst stated he does not have any questions, but would make a
statement that he has been on the Planning Commission for many years and the
Planning Commission has done everything possible to keep the single-story
limit in that area, and to keep it lox density or low-medium density, and this
request is for medium density. He stated the surrounding area is low or
low-medium density in every direction, and he would consider this request for
5/23/88
MINQTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COI-R~fISSION, May 23, 1988 88-
RM-1200 as "spot zoning". He stated there is no reason to change the General
Plan as far as he is concerned. He stated this is purely a single-family
residential area or lox-medium density designation on the General Plan and as
one Commissioner, he has promised himself and the people he worked xith, that
this xould remain single-story and he would do everything in his power to see
that it stays that ray.
Commissioner Bouas stated she would agree and that was the promise, and that
she really felt the Planning Commission should stick to that so the
neighborhood will know xhat is going on. She stated the developer vouid have
to redesign his project to a single-story project and asked if he wanted to
request a cotinuance and try to work out something with the neighbors.
Mr. Nerguizian stated he would be willing to meet xith the homeowners in the
area, but that he knoxs they want single-story. He stated it should
be defined as height and not stories and that he could redesign it and
retain the subterzranean parking structure completely subterranean. He stated
the main concern of the homeowners vas the height and xhat they see from the
street and they were not as concerned with what xas underground.
Commissioner Bouas stated that vas the Planning Commission's concern and that
he should come up xith something more compatible that would not infringe on
the residential area. She stated if the parking is to be underground, the
matter would have to be readvertised as a two-story project. She stated the
project should also provide security gates.
Paul Singer stated the parking structure has to be designed to accommodate
security gates, and the way it is currently designed, there is no way to have
security gates, except at the property line.
Mr. Nerguizian stated he would like to be able to redesign the plans with the
understanding that the parking vouid be 80% to 90% below grade, with
single-story units on Citron, with possibly a second level of living azea
further axay, so the units xould be single story on Citron, xith the roof
sloping up and it xould be set back to mitigate the neighbors' concerns and the
people driving by xould see it as a single-story unit.
Chairman Mease stated that would address some of the concerns of the neighbors
and the Commission, and added the Commission is also concerned about the
density. Commissioner Herbst stated the density should be RM-2400.
Commissioner Boydstun explained she vas on the other side of the fence when
that General Plan AsQndment vas discussed in the past, and she did talk with
the neighbors, and when it xas rezoned to Rm-2400, that is what the neighbors
adamently wanted .and that is what all the people still want. She stated she
got the message loud and clear from the Planning Commission and City Council
that this is what they ranted in that area and to try and change it nor, would
be wrong.
5/23/88
MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION May 23, 1988 _ 88-701
Commissioner Herbst stated the Planning Commission is considering reviexing
the entire General Plan and in some areas where the designation permits
RM-1200 and RM-2900, the Planning Commission will request an in-depth study to
consider dovnzoning those properties because the streets and infrastructures
cannot handle tl~e additional density. He stated the .d~evelo,per should bring in
plans consistent with what is going on in that area. Mz. Nerguizian stated
that area has same properties zoned for RM•-1200 on the General .Plan.
Commissioner Herbst stated subject property is zoned RS-10,000, not RM-1200.
Commissioner Carusillo stated he would like to see the Planning Commission
honor the General Plan Amendrent res5riction adopted in i?81. Hs added he has
a problem with 2 story and felt that is just overbuilding that area, and that
he is not in favor of subterranean parking in that location.
Chairman Messe pointed out the developer has the general feelings of the
Commission and the neighbors, and asked if he would like to request a
continuance. Hr. Nerguizian stated he would like to request a continuance in
order to meet with the homeowners and, hopefully, get more constructive
criticism and hoped they might consider alternatives to one story. He
responded he xouid like a two-week continuance and Chairman Messe stated that
would requite plans to be submitted to staff by Friday of this week, and that
he xould like to see a four-week continuance.
ACTION: Commissioner Souas offered a motion, seconded by Commissioner Herbst
and MOTION CARRIED that consideration of the aforementioned matter be
continued to the regularly-scheduled meeting of June 20, 1989, at the request
of the petitioner in order to submit revised plans.
Chairman Messe pointed out this matter would not be readvertised. Darrell
Anent stated the developer indicated he notified the neighbors and that Use
received no such notice, and he is an owner within 300 feet. He suggested the
City should check to see that those people who should be notified are
notified.
Mr. Nerguizian stated he got the list of neighbors from the title company and
if there is anyone else who xould like to be notified, they should leave their
names so he can add them to the list.

THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Responding to Chairman Messe, Debbie Vagts, Housing Operations Coordinator,
stated the developer has signed the "affordable" agreement.
Responding to Commissioner McBurney, Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, stated the
letter from the bus company vas a mistake and the condition requesting bus
turnouts along with concrete pads and bus benches is not being imposed.
Commissioner Carusillo asked about the composition of the first floor and
whether or not it is crushed stone and also what type landscaping is proposed.
He clarified he is concerned about the first floor area identifed as the
"access corridor". He stated the Commission is trying to discourage that
crushed stone look and is trying to get something more acceptable and possibly
something green because they have seen some projects which were very sterile
looking and vast to discourage that and added he did not knOV if it could be
done, but that he would like to see some actual grass or turf, adding he
realized leakage could be a prcbiem.
Mr. Riafar stated they could do something that would not cause a drainage
problem and referred to planting some type of plants in pots and added they
would do something that would be acceptable to the City. Commissioner
McBurney suggested something such as artificial turf which could be used and
not cause a drainge problem.
Chairman Messe asked if the architect might have a land3cape plan and Mr.
Kiafar responded he thr~;ght he did, but did not think he vas present. He
stated they would make the project look as nice as possible and he knee they
could not have anything that would cause a drainage problem and that he did
bring that to the architect's attention.

Commissioner Carusillo stated none of the Commissioners were impressed by some of
the projects they have recently approved when the main foundation is nothing but
concrete with no plants or grass and he thought that is dam,~ging to the health of
the people who live there, at least from a psychological standpoint and asked the
location and type of recreational facilities proposed. Mz. Kiafar stated the
recreational area is on the second floor and there is probably some type of
exercise equipment or area or a ballroom where people can get together.
Commissioner Carusillo stated he gets the impression that Mr. Kiafar is not
really sure of what the final project will be and hoped he would take the
Commission's suggestions and keep ir: mind the peace and tranquility of the people
who will be living there. He added some developers might take the approach of
putting up the project, renting it out and going on to the next project and he
hoped this developer will make the project aesthetically pleasing.
Commissioner Herbst added that some of the projects the Commission recently
reviewed were pretty disgraceful and that a condition should be included that a
landscape plan be approved by the Commission prior to issuance of building
permits in order to be sure the project is done right and added the plan could be
brought back under the Reports and Recommendations portion of the agenda.
Mr. Kiafar stated ite would be willing to comply and that he plans to do this
project in the proper manner.
Commissioner Bouas added the Commission will be requiring a landscape plan on all
developments in the future.

Al Marshall, agent, explained they did meet with the neighbors, and then realized
that what they were proposing vas not right for this site. He stated he did give
the neighbors a letter asking for this continuance with the intention of
submitting revised plans.
Chairman Messe asked if the scope of the project would be change. Mr. Marshall
responded they are going to be presenting a condominium project rather than
apartments and they will work with the neighbors. He added they will withdraw
this request if the Commission desires; however, they prefer to continue it.
Commissioner McBurney stated he would have no problem granting a continuance
since the Planning Commission has not seen the plans f.or the project they intend
to propose. Commissioner Herbst stated he would like to hear from the neighbors.

MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING_COMMISSION, May 23, 1988 88-706
George Hrott, 3306 West Glen Holly, stated they did have several meetings with
the developer and they have fought to have this turned down, and the neighbors do
not think this size project should be placed on this small property. Ce stated
they all live in single-family homes and do not xant to see condominiums or
apartments on that property. He stated there are three single-family homes on
that property at this time, and added they would like to have the continuance in
order to meet with the developer, and if the project he proposes is not
satisfactory, they will continue t,o fight.
Commissioner McBurney stated he would offer a continuance to June 20 and
Commissioner Bouas asked if that is enough time. Commissioner Herbst stated
staff xould like to have enough time to readvertise since this will be a
different project. He stated there is a large property next door to this propert}•
(the nursery) which at some time will be redeveloped and whatever is allow on
this property will continue onto that nursery property next door. He stated
Deerwood Street is planned to go through et sometime in the future. He stated he
would like to see a General Plan Study to consider leaving the rear portion of
that property as RS-7200 and redesignating the front 120 feet for commercial uses
and that he thought that was the original intent of the General Plan. He stated
he recognizes that RS-7200 Does to Ball Road, but that frontage would definitely
be more suitable for commercial and the back portion is surrounded on three sides
by RS-7200.
Chairman Messe stated the Commission can instruct staff to study that area.
ACTION: Commissioner Bouas offered a motion, seconded by Commissioner McBurney
and MOTION CARRIED (Commissioner Feldheus absent) that consideration of the
aforementioned matter be continued to the meeting of July 6, 1988, at Lhe
petitioner's request in order to submit revised plans.
ADDITIONAL ACTION: Commissioner Herbst offered a motion, seconded by
Commissioner McBurney and MOTION CARRIED (Commissioner Feldhaus absent) that the
Anaheim City Planning Commission does hereby instruct staff to review the General
Plan with consideration of possibly redesignating the front portion of this
property along Hail Road approximately to the alley for commercial uses and
continuing Deerwood Street on through both properties, and that the rear portion
remain as RS-7200.
Commissioner McBurney asked how the Planning Commission could dictate to the
property owner what he could do with that remaining 31 feet of property and added
he did not see how they could take a hatchet and cut up a piece of property in
this fashion.
Commissioner Herbst stated the owner plans to propose high density condominiums
or apartments, and the Planning Commission car, evaluate that as not being
feasible for that area.
Commissioner Bouas stated if the owner of the nursery property next door wants to
sell, then the land could be assembled, but the Planning Commission can not force
them to comply but certainly could look at different possibilities. Commissioner
Herbst stated he is looking at the General Plan on the basis of good land
planning, and he thought whatever happens on this property will happen on the
property next door.

MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, May 23, 1988 86-706
Chairman Messe stated to those present in opposition that it is possible they
would not receive a new notice of the July 6, 19P.8, hearing and that it is a
Wednesday meeting. Greg Hastings responded that if the developer proposed
condominiums, staff would recommend the matter be readvertised.
Chairman Messe pointed out this could be the first or the last item on
the agenda and it vas noted from the people present that they would rather see
it as the first item on the agenda.
ITEM N0. 6 - CEQA NEGATIVE DECLARATION, RECLASSIFICATION N0. 87-88-51, AND
VARIANCE N0. 3797.
PUBLIC HEARING. OWNERS: SPIROS GIANNOTSCS AND CATHERNINE GIANNOTSOS, 1469
Alabama Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15216. AGENT: MASSORD MONSHIZADEH, 1524
Victoria Way, Placentia, CA 92670. Property is approximately 0.28 acre
located on the vest side of East Street, approximately 110 feet south of the
centerline of North Street and further described as 75.` V.East Street.
Request for reclassification from RS-7200 to RM-2400, to construct a 2-story,
5-unit apartment building with xaivers of aaximum structural height, minimum
front yard setback and minimum side yard setback.
Chairman Messe pointed out that several neighbors had requested that this item
be trailed until the end of today's agenda. There were several people
present.
Trent Wilson, 1001 East North Street, explained he vas one of the neighbors
who had asked for this matter to be trailed to the end of the agenda so that
more people could be present. Chairman Messe responded he would trail this
item until last and added that it might not be that much later because the
agenda did not appear to be very heavy.
Item No. 6 vas heard at the end of the meeting.
There were six persons indicating their presenc•a in apposition to subject
request; and although the staff report vas not read at the public hearing, it
is referred to and made a part of the minutes.
Dr. Ronald Crowley, agent, stated they have built five projects on La Palma
and that they are proposing to start development on East Street similar to
what they have done on La Palma; that this is a 5-unit complex and each unit
is approximately 1,200 sa. ft. and has three bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths and this
x111 be a high level apartment complex. He stated they will be widening East
Street by 13 feet which x111 significantly increase its cagacity.
Hassord Monshizadeh, agent, referred to the 150-foot setbacY. requirement to
single-family zoning and stated there are many projects in Anaheim which were
allowed that waiver and stated they are about 70 to 80 feet from the closest
single-family property. Regarding the waiver of minimum front yard setback,
he explained they have a 15-f.oot setback to the street and they have dedicated
an additional 15 feet to the City. He stated he could move the building about
2 feet to the south and have less landscaping.

MINIITES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION May 23, 1988 88-707
Responding to Chairman Messe, Greg Hastings, Senior Planner, stated the
adjacent property to the west has neL been rezoned and is still zoned RS-7200.
Mr. Monshizadeh presented photographs taken of the house next door to the vest
and stated the property is actually a "junk yard".
Lloyd Lassly, 738 N. Rose, stated his property backs up to the property in
question and the agent wade a comment that the adjacent property has a pile of
junk and he wanted to note that for some reason thzt has been alloyed to
remain Lhat xay and asked what assurance they have that the City will not
alloy the same thing to happen vitt~ the new project and ghat would prevent
three or four families from moving into one unit. He stated the developer has
said they did a wonderful job along La Palma and suggested the Commission talk
to the people who own the properties right behind those apartments and they
would find out they cannot sell their homes because the apartments are looking
right into their yards and that reduces the value of their property. He added
that developer promised to put in trees and there had to be numerous requests
just to get them to fulfill their promises and they do not want the same thing
to happen here. He stated the developer proposes to buy up all the properties
along East Street and put in two-story apartment complexes and that would ruin
his property. He explained he has a pool and does not want two-story
apartments overlooY.ing his pool. He stated 2:e thought the Planning Commission
should think about the rest of the people who live there and not just those
people who bought homes on £ast Street and want to get rid of them.
Frank Guevara, 735 N. Bush Street, stated those pecple xho live on Bush were
not mentioned, but this project would have an effect on Lhem. He added he
thought there will be more than one family rer.tinq one of these units and that
is the problem he has with this project. He explained he has seen that happen
on all the streets around him and the tenants from the apartments are parking
on the streets. He added if there was a guarantee that only one family would
live ir. each unit, they might be more acceptable, but there is no way to make
that guarantee. He referred to the area of East Street and Sycamore and
stated it looks a South American marketplace and he does not like it.
Tim Foster, 710 N. Bush, asked what the front of the complex will look like on
East Street. He stated his second concern is the control of the number of
people and explained he wanted to know how the number of people living in one
unit will be controlled. He stated he has written letters but has not gotten
an answer to that question.
Commissioner Carusiilo stated the enforcement of the number of people per unit
would be done by the Code Enforcement Office. He explained the problem is
actually being able to get into the unit without a search warrant and stated
he understood Mr. Foster's concern.
Mr. Foster stated it is obvious on the day the trash is picked up that there
are a lot of people living in a unit.
Chairman Messe stated the City has three new Code Enforcement Officers, but
that it is a very difficult problem to control.
5/23/88
MINUTES ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION May 23, 1988 _ 88-708
Joseph Pletcher, Deputy City Attorney, stated there is a City Council policy
requiring a covenant to be recorded against the property limiting the
occupancy to txo persons per bedroom; however, occupancy limitations in
housing is a difficult area to enforce and the question is really what
constitutes a reasonable limit. He stated xith the condition requiring
recordation of the covenant, the Planning Commission or City Council could
revoke the permit for violation of the condition.
Commissioner Houas stated occupancy is easier to control xith the new
complexes but there is nothing to regulate the older units. She stated
basically it is up to management of the units and the property owner.
Mr. Foster stated the problem is with the owners who are willing to rent to
three or four families and the only xay anything can be done is i£ the
neighbors complain.
Chairman Messe stated that ordinance vas only enacted within the last 8 to 12
months. Commissioner Bouas stated nox at least there is a way to do something
about it if the neighbors complain.
Trent Wilson, 1001 E. North Street, stated there are five 3-bedroom units
proposed, and potentially there could be 30 adults and 30 children living
there before anything could be done.
Commissioner Feldhaus stated 30 is maximum number that could live there
legally and referred to the four units which were built adjacent to this where
there is no room to park because people are living in the garages. He stated
he hoped the new Code Enforcement Officers will be able to make an improvement
in the situation. He stated the welfare of the citizens of Anaheim is at
issue xhen property owners sell to developers who want to increase the density
drastically and the streets cannot handle the traffic, etc. He stated the bad
traffic at the five xay intersection of La Palma, East and North has been
discussed on many occasions, and just last week there vas a near fatality
accident at that .:owner.
Commissioner Feldhaus stated some of the properties are already established
such as the four-plex, the 7-11 and service station back up to the most
critical part of that intersection and unless other properties are recycled
such as this for apartments, the City would not be able to get the dedication
for the improvements needed. He stated the traffic is not going to get better
and this development would be a good step forward and with the improvements to
be made by this developer, it would improve the traffic situation.
Ray Linehan, 721 N. East Street, stated he understands this developer will
dedicate enough area for an additional traffic lane and the widening of East
Street will begin.
Chairman Hesse asked if the widening of East Street xouid be done right away
or if the Clty xouid xait until they have all the dedication.
Art Dav, Deputy City Engineer, stated the Engineering Department on an
individual parcel basis such as this will accept the fee for the cost of the
widening and when it is practical to do the widening, the City voul.d prepare
the contract for the widening.
5/23/88
i
MINDTES ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION May 23, 1986, 88-709
Mr. Linehan stated that area does need some improvements, and about a year ago
a larger development vas denied by the Commission. He stated he thought what
is being proposed is not outrageous xith the land costs and the type of units
proposed. He stated he understoon that a tenant xould have to qualify with an
earning of about $2,200 per month in order to rent one of these units and he
thought that xould alleviate a lot of the problems. He referred to a traffic
study done one year ago which indicated traffic would not be a problem.
Ronald Dawes, 725 N. Bush Street, stated he is a land owner in Los Angeles and
they have placed a moratorium on construction there because there is no sewer
facilities available and stated he wondered if that is what will eventually
happen in Anaheim. He stated he has owned his property there for about 25
years and they just recently paved the street in front and he vas assessed an
additional $7,000 ara asked at what point this developer pays for the street
widening, and noted he is probably going to pay the fee at today's prices and
then the City of Anaheim will get around to actually doing the improvement in
the future.
Chairman Messe stated the City of Anaheim has not run out of sever capacity
except in a couple of places and projects are denied when the facilities are
not adequate until the problem has been mitigated. He stated if this
development is approved, the developer will pay for the improvements now and
the actual. improvement would not take place until the last property has been
dedicated which could take up to 15 years.
Mr. Dawes stated in that case all the property owners in Anaheim end up paying
for the overdevelopment of other areas and adjacent property owners will pay
and not the developer. Chairman Messe responded he did not think the City of
Anaheim had ever assessed properties such as this and there would be no future
assessment to the property owners.
victor Highfield,719 N. East Street, asked how the street would be widened.
Chairman Messe responded it would be dangerous to do it piecemeal. Mr.
Highfield stated it was done just down the street, about the 700 block.
Art Dav stated a consultant is currently making a study of East Street from
Ball to the 91 Freeway and that study will encompass estimates for widening
and it should be completed in 3 or 4 months.
Commissioner Douas stated the Traffic Engineer has said the La Palma and East
signal will be changed with a left turn cycle which wi~l help that corner.
Mr. Highfield stated some signals have been to improve the quality of life for
citizens on East Street, but this is just to hold the status quo. He stated
it appears the impact of traffic from these projects is negligible and 97% of
the traffic is from out of the area.
Commissioner Herbst stated if the zoning is changed to RM-2400, developers
would not be as likely to buy the properties and everything xould stay the
same; and if the zoning goes to RM-1200, the concern would be the number of
people residing in one unit and enforcement of that would be up the Code
Enforcement Officers and management of the units, and no difference can be
made unless the managers of the project care. He stated if East Street is
held to single family developments, it would have to be widened to four lanes
by taking the parking and that would make it not conducive for single-family
residences.

MINOTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION May 23 198b 88-710
Mr. High.field stated the zoning has been the same since 1968 and now suddenly
it is being changed to RM-2400. Chairman Hesse stated the developer has
requested a General Plan Amendment and rezoning to RM-2400, and the Commission
feels if this block is going to be recycled, it would be to RM-2400 and not
RM-1200.
Dr. Crowley stated he thought there has been a misunderstanding about the
trash being a problem on La Palma and there has never been a co:~plaint abc;ut
that from his development on La Palma. He added they are still the owners of
the 27-unit complex on the corner of La Palma and East Street, and there are a
number of 3-bedroom units and they have just changed managers and he has been
informed that one 3-bedroom unit is tented to three young girls and another
unit is rented to 3 young men and their wives. He stated they do not believe
in overcrowding because it does serious damage to the units and as long as
they are the owners, they xill not allow extremely high density. He stated
they will also screen the views to prevent tenants from looking down onto
adjacent properties and the balconies would have walls high enough so that a
person could not look over and down onto neighboring properties. He stated
they have nn xindovs looking onto adjacent properties; and only one unit would
look down onto adjacent property and the units on the other side would look
onto property which they hope to be developing.
Mr. Monshizadeh answered the question about the number of people living in one
unit by stating there is no assurance except that they have to comply with the
agreement they have to record with the City restricting the number of
occupants; and they will have an on-site manager. He added they have to make
a dedication to the City for widening the street by one lane and they have to
post a bond to guarantee the street lighting facilities.
Mr. Nonshizadeh referred to the condition requiring a 6-foot high block wall
and stated there is an existing 5 to 5-1/2-foot high wall on the south and
stated because they plan to develop he adjacent property in the future, they
would like to delay the construction of that wall so they can combine those
costs.
Chairman Messe asked why they did not consider consolidating these two
properties and doing the development all at once.
Mr. Monshizadeh stated actually the developers are waiting for the outcome of
this meeting to make an offer on the adjacent property.
Commissioner Bouas asked if the Commission can put a time limit on the
condition for the wall on the south and then if he cannot purchase the
adjacent property, the wall would become a requirement.
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, stated a 6-foot high wall. is required
between a multiple-family development and single-family residential property
and a waiver would be required to eliminate that requirement. She responded
to Commissioner Bouas that a time limit could be included on that condition.
5/23/88
MINUTES, ANAHEIM CITY~PLANNING COMMISSION, May 23, 1960 88-711
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Annika Santalahti explained the Commission could probably give the petitioner
a time limit on construction of the 6-foot high xall as long as a bond was
posted to guarantee its construction. She explained the condition could be
further modified so that if the adjacent property is rezoned too RM-2400, the
wall would not required.
Commissioner Carusillo stated whatever is approved on this property will set
the trend for the rest of East Street going south. He stated he vas concerned
about the privacy of the homeowners to the vest who wou13 have to be looking
at a two-story wall for a long time. He pointed out the units are only 9 feet
from the zest wall.
Commissioner Hoydstun stated the Commission realizes the 150 feet is not
practical and from the edge of this property to the edge of the next single
family property is 70 feet.
Chairman Messe stated he thought the property next door had been rezoned to
RM-2400 and Joseph Fletcher, Deputy City Attorney, responded that the City
Council had denied General Plan Amendment No. 235.
Responding to Chairman Messe, Hr. Monshizadeh stated they are proposing three
stories on North Street and stated he could shox the neighbors what will
happen if this plan is not approved.
Annika Santalahti stated she remembers the discussion by City Council and they
were concerned about the bad traffic situation on North Street, and did not
want to approve the multiple family zoning.
Commissioner Herbst stated he feels the whole clock has to be considered; and
that the only way that area is going to be developed is with some land
assembly because the street has to be widened and this proposal is also
requesting a xaiver of the 20-foot wide landscaped buffer to 5 feet. He
stated the only way he would vote for approval of this project, recognizing it
would still be closer, would be xith a four-plex, not a five-plex, and added
he thought with a four-plex, they could get a 35-foot setback instead of the
normal 50 feet because of the hardship, which is this lot is exceptionally
deep compared to others on East Street, but this would be abutting
single-family residential and once precedent is set, that is what the setback
would be for the rest of the street.
Commissioner Herbst asked if the project could be redesigned to eliminate the
variances, adding he would be willing to give some consideration because of
the street widening, but not this close to the neighbors. He stated the
setback has gone from 150 feet to 50 feet.
Mr. Monshizadeh stated the Commission had indicated they wanted RM-2900 on
this property and that is xhat he has brought in and asked whether the
Commission wants to see development on that property or not.

Chairman Messe stated the Commission wanted RM-2400 without any waivers. Mr.
Monshizedah states' in order to develop that property, there will have to be
xaivers. Commissioner Herbst stated the neighbors have to be considered and
they have not been given any consideration in this plan. He stated this
project would be creating a problem for the neighbors
Mr. Monshizedah stated the people here complaining are 130 feet away from
subject property. Commissioner Herbst stated that has nothing to do with it
and there are Codes that have to be abided by and these people would not be
here if the Code was being followed.
Commissioner Carusillo stated this is a lot less than the 150 foot requirement
and agreed approval of this plan is out of the ;uestion.
Mt. Monshizedah stated four units would not make sense and that is a very
difficult parcel to develop because with the street dedications taken away,
there is not much left. He clarified to Commissioner Carusillo that the
property to th•_ south could be developed within the 50 foot setback
requirement and that the owner to the zest is requesting a zone change.
Chairman Messe stated he thought some consideration should be given ion this
property and the Commission has indicated a willingness to consider four
units, but feel five 3-bedroom units are just too many and that the ;project
could be redesigned to conform to the RM-2400 standards. He asked if the
petitioner would like to have a vote on this plan. Mr. Monshizadeh responded
he would like a vote.
ACTION: Commissioner Herbst offered a motion, seconded by Commissioner Bouas,
and MOTION CARRIED that the Anaheim City Planning Commission has reviewed the
proposal to reclassify subject property from the RS-7200 (Residential,
Single-Family) Zone to the RM-2400 (Residential, Multiple-Family) Zone in
order to construct a 2-story, 5-unit apartment complex with waivers of maximum
structural height, minimum front yard setback and minimum sideyard setback on
a rectangularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 0.28 acre,
having a frontage of approximately "~ feet on the vest side of East Street,
approximately 110 feet south of the centerline of North Street and further
described as 755 N.East Street; and does hereby approve the Negative
Declaration on the basis that it has considered the proposed 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

PUBLIC HEARING. OWNERS: HERBERT F. BERGER AND BETTY JEAN BERGER, 2240 W.
LINCOLN AVE., ANAHEIM, CA 92801. Property is approximately 0.34 acre located
at the southeast corner of Lodge Avenue and West Street, and further
described as 1188 N. West Street.
Reclassification from RS-A-43,000 to RM-1200, to construct a 3-story, 14-unit
apartment complex with waivers of required coverage of parking spaces, minimum
building site area per duelling unit, maximum structural height, maximum site
coverage and minimum recreational-leisure area.
There were five people indicating their presence in opposition to subject
request, and although the staff report to the Planning Commission eras not
read, it is referred to and made a part of the minutes.
Hugo Vazquez, agent, explained this is a 14-unit complex, with 13 two-bedroom,
two-bath units, and one 1-bedroom, 1 bath unit, with subterranean parking and
txo stories above the garage. He stated he vas not aware of the five
waivers since his architect had represented him at the meeting with the City
representatives. He stated he can revise the plans and reduce Lhe number of
units to 12 and delete the four parking spaces in question, making better
circulation in the garage. He stated also there will not be any affordable
units which should please the neighbors. He stated he will provide a more
detailed landscape plan also.
5/23/88
MINOTES, ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, May 23,1988 88-714
Susan Kocsis stated reducing the complex to 12 units instead of 14 is an
improvement and she is glad there is no affordable because that area is not
suitable for affordable units, and with the waivers requested, the project
would do nothing but harm to the area and make existing problems worse. She
presented a letter from Diane Simons, property manager of property at 1552
West Street, expressing opposition because that area already has ovecrowding
and substandard living conditions; and that a three-story building would be
out of character in that area.
Ms. Kocsis referred to the condominium project existing in that area and added
they are quiet and peaceful and she would hate to see that change with
apartments coming in and bringing density problems.
David Rudolph, 1152 N. West Street, stated the units face Lodge Street and the
plans show txo driveways, and the Traffic Engineer has recommended only 12
units be permitted because of circulation and that is all he thought should be
permitted. He added guest parking should be considered also and the guests
should have easy access to the parking so they will not park on the streets.
He stated the single-family property directly to the east is neglected and he
hoped something could be done to clean up that property. He stated he would
like L•o work xith the developer to make sure a quality project in tune with
the neighborhood will be constructed.
Ron Yates, 134 S. Illinois, stated three years ago the City approved a similar
project across the street from where he lived on Ohio Street and there has
been a considerable amount of police activities and drug activities at that
location. He stated he has now moved to a single family home and is concerned
about that same thing happening here. He stated there are jefinite problems
with increased density.
Pearl Nazarian, 1152 N. West, H-4, stated she has submitted a letter to the
Plar.^ing Commission; that she faces West Street and sees the people from the
apartments coming into their common area and the children play in their
drivexay because they have no place to play in their own apartment co¢olex
area. She stated she sees cars speeding down the sL•reet; and the cars

drivexay and ahe has even stopped calling the Police Department because ahe
knows they have other things to do. She stated when she has guests coming,
she parks her car on the street during the day so she can have a place for
them to park later. She stated an additional 12 units would just add to these
problems.
Ms. Nazarian stated there is another new project under construction about one
block away xhich will also add to L•he problems when they are rented. She
stated the complex she lives in was originally an apa;-tment complex and xas
converted to condominiums and they were assured when they purchased the units
that they were to remain for senior citizens, but at least 40% are now rented
and there is nothing they can do about it and the renters do not obey any of
the rules. She added she thought this project would add to their existing
problems. She stated renters do not care about the property and it seems some
developers with a lot of money are coming in and buying all the single-family
homes and putting in big apartment complexes.

Cleve Rossetti, 1151 ?7.West Street. F-1, stated he lives in the central part
of the condominium complex next to the pool and was concerned that people
outside their complex will come in and use the pool uninvited and also the
laundry facilities and asked if this proposed complex would have their own
laundry facilities. He stated parking is already a problem. He stated he was
also concerned that they Could have to have additional insurance because of
the pool or be required to hire a lifeguard in the summer. He stated
according to the staff report, there could be four adults in each unit and
just about everybody has a car, so that means a possibility of 50 additional
vehicles in the area.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Carusillo referred to the joint meeting between the City Council
and Planning Commission and stated the philosphy seemed to be regarding the
density with overbuilding and overcrowding and the height of the structures
and the psychological affects on the tenant's health and welfare; and that the
2-1/2 foot vide landscaped area and lack of recreational area were also
concerns amd it seemed the Commission and Council both agreed those things
should be carefully considered.
Chairman Messe suggested Mr. Vazquez look closely at the recreation area with
200 square feet required and only 1 ~oposed.
Mr. Vazquez stated he thought that is an exceilent point. He stated the
Commission had voiced concern abcit his development next door to his office at
202 S. Olive, and he wanted to explain that that vas his first large
development and funds were limited and his partner refused to put in the
landscaping. Fie stated he would be happy to join in any meetings and share
his costs for 23 projects.
Mr. Vazquez stated this will be a beautiful project.

the Addendum, is adequate to serve as environmental docuomentation for tl~e
proposed tentative tracts, based upon the following:
(a) EIR No. 281, along with the addendum, is adequate under CEQA
guidelines as the addendum only addresses minor technical changes or
additions.
(b) EIR No. 281, along with the addendum, adequately describes the
environmental setting of these proposed tract maps and the specimen
tree removal.
(c) EIR No. 281, along with the addendum, adequately describes the
significant environmental impacts that these tracts may create in
combination xith existing, approved and probably future development
in the area.
(d) EIR No. 281, along xith the addendum, adequately describes
alternatives and mitigation measures to the significant effects that
may be created by the cumulative impact of the proposed tentative
tracts/specimen tree removal, with the existing, approved and
probable future development in the area.
(e) The proposed project is within the projections of the development
described in EIR No. 281.
(f) The proposed tracts and specimen tree removal do not create any new
significant environnmental impacts and do not require any new
mitigation measures.
(g) The mitigation measures identified in EIR No. 281 have been
incorporated into the proposed projects.
(h) The Statement of Overriding Considerations previously adopted ir.
conjunction with EIR No. 281 is still applicable.

Hale Avenue, Irvine, CA 92714. Property consists of five parcels totaling
approzimately 56 acres located west and north of the future northerly
extension of Serrano Avenue, bounded oa the west by the Highlands at Anaheim
Hills, on the north by Sycamore Canyon (formerly Wallace Ranch)
Waivers of permitted signage in residential zones to construct sir entry
monument signs, maximum height, location and type of walls l-.o construct view
and solid walls varying from 6 to 6 feet, 6 inches in height adjacent to
residential lot lines and/or building pads; and maximum coverage and minimum
open space requirements to construct 4, 5, or 6-bedroom single-family
dwellings on thirty-three lots and request for final specific plan approval
for a total of 153 single-family detached dwelling units.
Diana Hoard, Baldwin Company, explained this is a request for approval of
final specific plans of .development for the first tract maps and that there
are three different floor plans for three and four bedroom homes with bonus
rooms.
She stated the variance deals with monumentation signs is the RS-5000 zone and
explained this project is a part of the Planned Community Zone and the signs
were shown when that zone was originally approved. She stated there is also a
request for a variance for the type and location of the walls so they can
locate them in a manner to preserve the views and create a sound wall on
Serrano sir inches higher than permitted since their noise study indicates
they need a wall for approzimately five homes in thet area. She responded to
Chairman Messe's concern that the Commission had not seen the sound study, and
that staff did see it, but not as a part of this request.
Ms. Hoard stated the other variance relates to lot size and the waiver is
necessary because the extra room (bonus room) is being counted as a bedroom.
She added they have found in a project of this size, typically that room is
not being converted to use as a bedroom, but the wall is being removed to make
the other rooms larger or it is being used as a recreation room or office
area. She explained this involves only seven lots and it would be hard to
even identify which .lots they are in relationship to the slopes is the area,
and explained that is where the models are expected to be located. Responding
to Chairman Messe, Ms. Hoard stated in most cases the deviation is less than
5!, and that this particular product was developed in Portola Hills and it was
very successful.
Ms. Hoard stated the proposed conditions are acceptable.

Mary McCloskey, Senior Planner, presented the staff report to the Planning
Commission and explained the Development Agreement is a 10-year agreement for
The Summit project and is similar to the agreement for The Highlands and
Sycamore Canyon projects which were just recently approved.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Carusillo asked about the vehicular construction traffic being
prohibited on Serrano Avenue. Ms. McCloskey stated that has been included as
a condition of approval.
Commissioner Herbst asked about the timing for the widening of Santa Ana
Canyon Road.
Joel Fick, Planning Director, stated a study will be required first and then
incremental payments would be made as building permits are sought and the
Development Agreement spells out the timing and 50~ will be paid with the
first certificate of occupancy for the first dwelling unit; and that the
remainder will be required within one year and then the City would be looking
to widen that street rather than receiving incremental payments over the
10-year period.
Chairman Messe stated the Development Agreement not only accelerates that
process, it speeds up payment for fire, policy and maintenance facilities.
Joel Fick stated the Engineering Department is going ahead with studies to
determine erectly waht improvements need to be made and when they need to be
made and that they will provide more detailed engineering design drawings. He
stated Santa Ana Canyon Road does lend itself to incremental segments for
widening.
Arthur L. Daw, Deputy City Engineer, stated it could possibly be up to two
years before Santa Ana Canyon Road is widened; and that a draft of the study
mentioned has been received by the City from the consultant and is currently
being reviewed.
ACTION: Commissioner Carusillo offered a motion, seconded by Commissioner
Bouas and MOTION CARRIED (Commissioner Feldhaus absent) that the Anaheim City
Planning Commission does hereby find that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section

D. taanaOSED ORDINANCE FO° arnmc>'TION OF RI~fi~~F WAY FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CRITrrar INTERSECT_I.ON DESIGN
The staff report to the Planning Commission indicated thaC the issv.e
of how to acquire the right of way for implementation of the
critical intersection design was postponed from the May 9, 1988,
planning Commission meeting iu order for a new ordinance to be
prepared; and the proposed ordinance (Exhibit No. 1) would require
that buildings not be constructed in the future critical
intersection right of way, but that no dedication of right of way
and no payment for improvement to the critical intersection standard
be required. It was also noted that staff is recommending that
Exhibit No. 2 be adopted which would require dedication of right of
wa1! for the critical intersection standard upon issuance of a
building permit, variance, conditional use permit or other
discretionary zoning action, but not require the property owner to
pay for the improvements to critical intersection standard.
Commissioner Herbst clarified that if the City wants a person's
property, they will have to compensate the owner.
Joseph W. Fletcher, Deputy City Attorney, explained the City would
pap all costs. He explained this proposed ordinance addresses the
obligation of the property owner if he wants to improve his
property; and that currently the property owner would be required to
dedicate and pay for all costs to improve to the critical
intersection standards. He responded to Commissioner Herbst that
the ordinance pertaining to the variances and conditional use
permits still would remain in effect.
Mr. Cletcher responded to Chairman Messe that if there xas a minor
change to an existing structure, there is an existing procedure
whereby the property owner would not have to improve to the critical
intersection standards and that would remain in effect and that this
relates to the 24 intersections covered is General Plan Amendment
No. 210, and those in the stadium area.
g~TION Commissioner McBuraey offered a motion, seronded by
Commissioner Bouas and MOTION CARRIED (Commissioner Faldhaus absent)
that the Anaheim City Planning Commission does hereby recommend that
Exhibit No. 1 for the proposed Code Amendment for acquisition of
right of way for implementation of critical intersection design be
approved by the City Council.
