CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION N.. PC90-254 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES. OPPOSITION: None PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Force3 to relocate due to the I-5 freeway expansion. This new location is also in the I-5 right-of-way and Caltrans will eventually take this location as well in approximately 5 years. Have permission by Caltrans to use subject property. Submitted original engineering drawings of the sign which they proposed to place on subject property; the sign has a 25-foot pole with a 10-foot face; staff wants a monument sign limited to 8 feet; urges Commission to be able to use the sign that they have at their existing premises that was purchased at a substantial coat and they feel is attractive and consistent and lower than most of the competing signs in the neighborhood; this sign is appropriate for their interim use prior to Caltrans taking this new location. Concern about staff's suggestion that CUP expire in 3 years; urges Commission to grant this CUP for 5 years; does not want to build a visual barrier and do intend to enhance the appearance; propose to make use of chain link fencing they currently have. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Concern regarding landscaping; bring irrigation system up to standards and maintain it; in gateway to the CR zone; wa~lts applicant to maximize the appearance of landscaping; concern regarding pole sign versus an 8-foot monument sign; giving variance from 10 feet to 4 feet so do not have to expand landscaped yard area.: looking to shield some o` the operation and it is the app'_icant's desire to open it up; concern over the chain link fence versus having wrought iron or slump atone; should not encourage to invest more in the property then he needs to because Caltrans will take it in 5 years; they are intensifying the use with more truck traffic and the dedication is warranted; perhaps it should be arranged that the CUP coincide with the lease. 11/05/90 Page 3 Approved Approved Granted for 5 yrs ', .~ 1 STAFF COMMENTS: Melan'~Adame, Public Works-Engineerin.^ stated :~ dedication will be to v.ae City of Anaheim and when Caltrans takes the property it would be an agreement between the City of Anaheim and Caltrans. She was not certain about the payment portion of that and did not know the details of the agreement; correct condition no. 1, page 5 regarding the critical intersection, i.e., it makes reference to the intersection of Katella and Ball Road, and that should be corrected to read Katella Avenue and Lewis Street; she emphasized that they are recommending the dedication of right-of-way; the take indicated by Caltrane is a ma~cimum take and further any traffic improvement in that area would assist Anaheim, so the City does work in conjunction with Caltrans and they do request the dedication; that intersection is not currently within the 5 year plan, however, it could be ateoped up and integrated with Caltrane improvements. ACTION: CEOA Neoative Declaration - Approved Waiver of Code Requirement - Approved (Applicant to improve landscaping and bring it up to City standards subject to the Planning Department's approval prior to commencement of operation).

PC90-255 -------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES. OPPOSITION• 22 1 person spoke in favor OPPOSITION CONCERNS: Concern regarding traffic impacts; opposed to tearing down homes for parking; much rather have less parking spaces and keep the two homes; intrusion into their single-family neighborhoods; church has outgrown neighborhood; concern about noise due to concerts, etc.; church did not plan ahead and their neighborhood should not have to suffer. Checked out 84 churches and visited the various locations; 2 wer•: in single-family dwellings with a small cross on the roof that he did not show on the exhibit; showed exhibit marked with blue pine that indicated the various locations of the other 82 locations; 80 ingressed and egressed on main thoroughfares and only 2 ingressed and egressed on a residential street. PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Have made some meaningful concessions to the needs and desires of neighbors and Commission; met individually with some of the neighbors; they have advertised and circulated a letter and have had a public meeting with the people in the community who were interested; willing to work with neighbors; church is an effective and vital force both morally and spiritually and an asset to the community; focus is on family and family life issues; new center will provide 8 to 10 classrooms; seeking direct access to East Street; have made an offer to the owner of the house on East Street that is located directly contiguous to their property, however, they are still looking at options and they have not gotten back to them with an answer and, therefore, do not have the access at this time; owners next to this property are concerned because that puts a driveway next to their house. 11/05/90 Page 5 :~I ~--.. Would not put on conce'~ that are in conflict with the zarene doctrine; would not rent out to outside interests, banquets, dances, etc.; will not use for any kind of housing facilities for students including preschool or college students; will not increase numh?r of current enrollees in the preschool; can devise a transportation parking demand management program and submit to Traffic Engineer for his approval if traffic is a problem; looking for 108 growth per year in order to come out even; 100 out of the 520 projected figure are children. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Significant traffic impact to neighborhood; outgrown area; looking to grow even more although they stated it was not a growth effort; it is the Commission's obligation to manage growth; in the morning session, page 10 of the staff report, regarding fire sprinklers, it was agreed that sprinklers should be included from the very beginning and not have a one year grace period, i.e., they should be installed prior to occupancy of the trailers, however, because they are currently being used, this should be accomplished within 90 days from the date of approval of the resolution. STAFF COMMENTS: Alfred Yalda, Traffic Engineering, stated the City of Anaheim Co:ie was changed last year, i.e., the no. of parking required was decreased from 15 parking spaces per 1,000 to 14 parking spaces per 1,000 and, therefore, has not increased; the study that was submitted indicated .36 parking attendance per person to .56; in 1983 the proposed seating for the church was 420; tt:ey are currently projecting 520 people which is an increase of approximately 248 in the no. of attendees. He stated traffic demand management works for an office situation where employees come to work from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It would be difficult to implement such a plan for Sunday when you do not know where the people are coming from and could not be enforced by the City. Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager, referenced page 12, condition no. 31 and stated it should reflect Exhibit nos. 1 through 4 in order to incorporate the landscape plan that was submitted at a later date. Melanie Adams, Public Works-Engineering, made the following changes to the recommended conditions: Page 9, condition no. 4: Should be corrected to read "shall be repaired" instead or installed; page 12, condition no. 27: All dedication required has been made and that ::ondition can be deleted; page 12, condition no. 28 in reference to a cash payment fa not required and can be deleted; page 12, condition no. 30 in reference to cul-de-sacs on Norwood and Candlewood regarding abandonment is not appropriate because cul-de-sacs do need to remain in the public right-of-way. She offered the following new condition that was discussed with Mr. Anderson, representative for the church, as follows: "That the legal owner of subject property shall dedicate to the City of Anaheim an irregularly-shaped parcel for the Norwood Street cul-de-sac for street widening purposes as required by the City Engineer." 11/05/90 Page 6 r ~ ~ She explained that the~quirement for this dedication i chat the City acquired partial dedication on the cul-de-sac, but the portion to the west 'that is vacant now, they did not require the dedication, so it is requested at this time.

RECLASSIFICP,?7ON NO. 90-91-16 OWNER: INITIATED BY THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, 200 SOUTH ANAHEIM BLVD., ANAHEIM, CA 92803 LOCATION: Property is approximately 96 acres generally bounded by La Palma Ave. to the north, the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way to the east, Cypress Street to the south and Anaheim Blvd. to the west, excluding those properties which front on Anaheim Blvd. or La Palma Ave., and further excluding the area generally bounded by Wilhelmina Street to the north, the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way to the east, Sycamore Street to the south and Sabina Street to the west. A City-initiated reclassification of subject area from the RM-2400 (Residential, Multiple-Family) and PD-C/RM-2400 (Parking District-Comm~arcial/RM-2400) Zones to the RS-5000 (Residential, Single-Family) Zone. RECLASSIFICATION RESOLUTION N0. FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES. OPPOSITION: Approximately 10 people present in opposition and 4 letters of opposition received. SUPPORT: Approximately 40 people present in favor of request. OPPOSITION CONCERNS: Decrease in property value; and existing multiple- family units would be non-conforming and if units were destroyed by fire, etc. could not be replaced except as a single-family structure. Difficult to sell and get financing from lenders. Wanted two PD-C parcels to remain PD-C on Anaheim Boulevard. Felt boundaries should be changed to exclude property at 928 N. Emily. Loss of new development in the City and Zoss of fees, continued degradation of the area, new development means improvements such as street lights. Suggested enforcement of people using garages for parking their vehicles and not storage. 11/05/90 Page 19 Continued to 11-19-90 6:00 p.m. ~, SUPPORT: This is a1'fo` 1b1e housing and single-family uctvres should not be demolished to bu~1d apartments; save the area by promoting Zow 4 density development; property owners are participating in neighborhood preservation programs and trying to maintain the neighborhood; 5 - 7 years ago 35$ of the units were owner occupied and now 65~ are owner occupied. Units which have gone in have created parking problems; felt RS- 5000 is answer to problems; people living in existing apartments do not park in garages and there are many people living in each unit, people work on their cars in the street; no place for children to play; single-family property ~~aZues do go down when apartments go into area; schools are overcrowded; crime and drugs are larger problems in high density areas. Redevelopment is trying to upgrade areas. PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Reclassification initiated by Planning Commission COMMISSION COMMENTS: Messe: Requested number of building permits issued since the downzoning 1-1/2 years ago; thought this request i4 serious and there are good arguments for and against; mail survey revealed 16.2$ of owners would like to the downzoning and 13.8$ would not; only had responses from 29 or 308 of the total ownership; and would like to see visually on a map or chart where the multiple-family units are located to determine if possibly some areas could be excluded so that not so many units would become nonconforming. Felt there may be areas which should stay RM-2400 or go to RM-3000. Henninger: Staff report indicates there are about 9Z3 units in that area, and Zess than 1/2 are currently single-family and the public testimony tonight indicates the people want to stop the conversion of older single-family homes into multiple-family units and to preserve their neighborhoods; however, with reclassification, over 1/2 of the units would become non-conforming uses and they could not be reconstructed; and that he wou:~ like to have a sense as to where those multiple-family units are locates' sn] determine whether they are scattered or concentrated; and did not thii;~: the Commission has enough information to approve this tonight. (Staff responded the higher density multiple-family projects with more than two units are more concentrated in the area ea Qt of Olive Street) Hellyer - 70$ of the parcels are developed with single-family homes. Referred to previous multiple-family projects which were developed and have been detrimental to the areas; a lot of owners are waiting for the single-family homes to deteroriate so they can build units and they are not maintaining their properties and being responsible property owners; that the Commission's charge is to look at the land use and determine where that area should go; Feldhaus - 188 owners responded to survey a.^.d only 7 owners are here to oppose the request. He thought the response was adequate and he would have not problem excluding those properties from this reclassification. Bouas Another concern is how many people are living in those units. 11/05/9b Page 20 .-~ STAFF COMMENTS: Staff' ~`,arified eastern boundary of et area wa; *ha railroad tracks; Mr. Aa.,a'a property has resolution of intent to ML and could be excluded from this reclassification; survey was mailed in English language only and the notice for this meeting was mailed to both English and Spanish. Would be difficult to come up with an accurate figure on number of units because many units were built a long time ago, lot of c?~screpancies in checking building perm-its. Noted numbers used in staff report were taken from the land use maps, but there could be some variation. Redevelopment: Has been involved in this area and has different programs to help upgrade the neighborhoods such as first time buyer programs because of an active neighborhood group trying to turn the area around; funding programs to restore homes, etc:; and Red~velopr.~ent staff feels this reclassification would be a valuable tool and r~lsource to the City; Koll Center is coming in and is a major employer and Redevelopment wants to provide housing; if there is an area where a good project could be put together with conds~miniums for homeownership, that could be evaluated separately; that the General Plan would still be low-medium density residential and would still allow the applicant to make the request for RM-3000 reclassification; that this would be an overall zoning tool and guide to direct development and protect the single-family homes; and that their recommendation is for RS-5000. ACTION: Approved Negative Declaration Commissioner Feldhaus offered Resolution to approve Reclassification, excluding Aaee's property. Commissioner Messe asked that the matter be continued for two weeks in order for staff to provide information cn the location of the projects. Resolution failed to ce,rry due to tie vote: Yee: Feldhaus, Hellyer, Peraza No: Henninger, Bouae, Meese (Boydatun - conflict of interest) Feldhaus indicated he would go along with a two-week continuance. Keith Celaen stated apartments are scattered throughout the area which is exactly the problem and this reclassification needs to be approved; that the information has been presented over and over; and requested if this is continued, that no building permits be issued in meantime, referring to a project wh±ch ~.;s developed Frith building permits obtained the day before the previous rezoning and it is a 3-story apartment complex and that is what the owners want to str..p. Commissioners responded the Commission dues not have the authority to take that action ACTION: Contir,~ued to 11-19-90 for further staff information, and meeting to be at 6:00 p.m. 11/05/90 Page 21 ~ ~ ~ 17.
