They have made modifications to be project and have moved the unit away from the building to the north by 15 feet and have restructured the density of the project by reducing the number of 2-bedroom units. They aiso brought the driveway 15 feet further south. 1'he other significant change is the location of 03-29-99 Page 5 the laundry; that was previously in the recreation build(ng, but now the laundry is inside the project to make it more accessible for ali residents.

THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if a left turn sig~ ial could be installed at the intersection of Gilbert and Ball Road7 Alfred Yalda, Principal Transportation Planner: Advised that he checked the intersection and it is operating at level of service A at this time. If the Commission would like, they could do a phasing study, but at this time, he felt, it does not need any type of phasing. The City also shares that intersection with the County of Orange. Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if a left turn signai would improve the traffic flow at the intersection, with the additional traffic? Alfred Yalda: Responded they could add the traffic that is going to be generated by this project to their study. Cheryl Flores, Senior Planner: Advised there was a memo bmught over from Community Development regarding Condition No. 18, changing the wording on it and gave a copy to the applicant and then read it into the record.

CEQA NEGATIVE DECLARATION Approved 3b. WAIVER OF CODE REQUIREMENT Approved, in part 3c. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 4099 Granted, in part OWNER: Dong Hee Kang and Bu Sun Kang, 559 South Olive Street, Anaheim, CA 92805 AG~NT: Mr. Jae J. Chung,10042 Lampson Avenue, Garden Grove, CA 92840 LOCATION: 559 South Olive Street. Parcel 1- is a rectangularly- shaped parcel of land consisting of 0.23 acre located at the northwest corner of Water Street and Olive Street, with frontages of 140 feet on the north side of Water Street and 70 feet on the west side of Olive Street. 313 East Water Street. Parcel 2- is a rectangularly- shaped parcel of land consisting of 0.12 acre with a frontage of 48 feet on the north side of Water Street, and a maximum depth of 114 feet, located 175 feet west of the centerline of Olive Street. To permit a convenience/liquor store with a coin-operated laundry facility with waiver of (a) minimum setback abutting a collector street, and (b) required site screening adjacent to a residential zone boundary. Continued from the Commission meeting of February 17,1999. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION N0. PC99•56 SR1107TW.DOC ; FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE P.t:ANNINC~ COMMISSION AC710N. Applicant's Statement: Daniel Kang, 9228 Box Spring Mountain Road, Moreno Valley CA: Stated since the previous meeting they revised their project by increasing the window size of the building to create more visibility access ior the Police Department from the outside. They ad~ed chains to close the vehicle entrance when the business is closed. They also changed all roof-mounted equipment to be installed below the top of the parapet. There is an additional wall along the western side to close it off from the eesidential area. He asked to modify Condition No. 2, regarding closing the business at 8:30 p.m. because people do laundry after work, and they would like the laundry to be open until 9:30 or 10:00 p.m., if possible. The market can close earlier than the laundry. Concerning Condition No. 8, a licensed uniformed security r~uard approved by Anaheim Police Department is required and they feel most of the crime occurs after business hours, therefore he felt having a guard there during business hours will not have that much of an impact on the crime rate. It would also be a financial hardship for the market owner to maintain a guard there all day. They will have additional employees at the laundromat and market to keep loiterers away, but a liaensed guard would be a difficult issue for them. Regarding Condition No. 11, they also requested a sign on the window or outside. 03-29-99 Page 8 OPPOSITION: Connie Mendoza: 308 East Elisworth across from the parking lot. The present merchandise fn the store is very limited as far as food ard household items. They have large refrigerators with all kinds of cold beer proving that liquor sales represent more than 35% of gross sales: No mention was made of proposed materials that are to be used for the fence and the sliding door on the north side, facing the alley. It should also be a 6-foot high fence to provide privacy to property owners facing the parking lot across the alley. The alley on the north side is only 15 feet wide, not the ~:andard 20 feet, and most of the houses on Water and Ellsworth Street adjoining the alley have garages that can be accessed only from the alley. It would not be practical to use this alley to enter or exit the store/laundry parking lot because 2 cars cannot pass each other in the alley. Last week she observed 6 men drinking in front of the store and store personnel did not object and this is a common occurrence and proves the need for a security guard. She indicated Ms. Vena, a resident, wrote a letter. Chairman Bristol: Asked if she submitted the letter today and Ms. Mendoza responded she sent it in a week ago to City Council and Chairman Bristol informed her that the Commission did not receive it. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Daniel Kang: There will be a gate that is permanently closed except for Fire Department access on the r.orth. When a group of people come in and out of the store, an employee goes out to check to see if they are still remaining in the area. A securiry guard will cost about $1,200 to $1,500 weekly and they cannot afford it. He suggested they can have an employee wearing a security guard uniform who can servi.r.e the store and handle loiterers. Police Department also noted that a security guard is only as good as the training they get. Commissioner Boydstun: Asked what rype of fence they are going to put on the north side of the property? Daniel Kang: It can be wrought iron or chainlink and a gate. Commi:ssioner Boydstun: Asked if they were going to have a block wall on the west side? Daniel Kang: Responded they could have a block wall on the west side, whatever the City allows. Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if that could also be done on the backside. Daniel Kang: Responded yes. Jae Chung, agent: Explained the side will be block wall with an iron gate. THE PUBLIC yEARING WAS CLqSED. Cheryl Flores, Senior Planner: Mrs. Mendoza asked about a letter from Angelina Vena. It was a 3 page letter submitted at the Planning Commission meeting on February 17th and is in the case file. Commissioner Boydatun: Asked if this store is controlled by any percentages between food and alcohol? Commissioner Bostwick: Stated the only condition that he saw in the conditional use permit is one that states that hard liquor shall be sold in containers 200 ml. or greater. So there is no restriction on the percentage of alcohol. Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if it was in the original conditional use permit. Cheryl Flores: Statec• it is nonconforrring so there are no conditions on it now. 03-29-99 Page 9 Commissioner ~sping: Stated he visited the property on numerous times and did not find the area of refrigerators any iarger than any other mfni-market of that size. He also agreed that $1,200 a week for a security guard woul:i be a hardship. Alihough, he is al.,o concemed having an employee wearing two hats, act as a sales ~e~san and security guard at the same time. He stated Commissioner Boydstun calculated the cost a~~ in fact a security guard would cost $600. Commissioner Boydstun: Explained at 40 hours payfng $15 an hour would cost $600. Daniel Kang: Stated that they will have 2 full time employees, one will be a stock person who will also be outs(de and be able to ~nratch things. Commissioner Esping: Asked if it would be a male adult who is going to go out and tell six (6) people that they cannot be drinking beer. Daniel Kang: Yes, and he could wear a uniform if Commission would like, Commissioner Esping: it would have to be an authorized uniform to be able to affiliate themselves with sameone. Daniel Kang: Agreed, with a security logo on the back and front, which is not a probiem. Commissioner Koos: Asked Pianning staff to provide their opinion on this proposal, as well as the Police Department. Cheryl Flores: Advised that the Police Department representative was not present, normally they want to approve the security guards that are placed at various locations. Commissioner Bostwick: Asked if they could change the condition to state that a licensed uniformed security guard approved by the Anaheim Police Department shall be provided if requested by the Anaheim Folice Department. Cornmissioner Koos: Advised it was in their letter. Commissioner Bosb+vick: Explained that if they have a problem, they are going to be required to provide the security guard, and if there is no problem then they will not need to provide it. Commissioner Boydstun: Stated then they could do it themselves. Cheryl Flores: Advised that would be fine. Chairman Bristol: Asked Mr. Kang about operating until 1Q:00 p,m. He reviewed the minutes from February 17th and pointed out that it was Mr. Kang who responded to Mrs. Vena's comments that thcy would be closed by 8:00 p.m. so it would not 2ncoursge any kind of gang or crime activiry in the area, Daniel Kang: Advised the current market does ciose at 8:00 p.m. but the laundromat is different hecause people come after work hours to do their laundry. Chairman Bristol: Responded that Mr. Kang had commented that they would not o~erate the business until 10:00 p.m. Danial Kang: They are not going to be op~n after 10:00 p.m. and could close at 9:30 p.m. Commissioner Esping: Advised Mr. Kang that he was misunderstanding; that Mr. Kang originally said that it would not go beyond the 8:00 p.m, time. 03-29-99 Page 10 Daniel Kang: There is hardly anybody at the store after 8:30 p.m. Thoy arQ going to have 2 fuil time people in the market, one can be outside full time after 8:00 p.m. Daniei Kang: Stated that after 8:00 p.m. there is no traffic at the market, that is why the market currently closes at 8:00 p.m. If the market and laundromat are to be opened the same hours and the laundromat is open until 9:30 p.m., additionai individuals from the market couid serve as a securiry guard between 8:00 and 9:30 p.m. Commissioner Boydstun: Stated they want the market closed at 8:00 p.m. Daniel Kang: If they want the market to close at 8:00 p.m., then they can have two people working in the laundromat, one as a security guard and one as the iaundromat attendant who could also serve as a security guard. Commissioner Esping: Stated it would not be financially practicai to have 2 people working during that time, Daniel Kang: Thaf was true, but it would be di~cult for people to be done with their laundry by 8:30 p.m. Commissioner Esping: Said if he wants approval for the permit, people would have to adjust their time schedule to get the laundry done by 8 p.m., unless they use the one around the corner. Commissioner Koos: Requested staff s recommendatio~ on the use, particularly from Communiry Development Department. Richard Bruckner, Community Development Department: Stated they have presanted a staff memorandum that recommends the Commission deny this application. Community Development believes it would be the wrong use in the wrong place for the betterment of the neighborhood and community. They are creating a ready-made hang-out area and he believes that Qhe Police Department is very concerned about the high crime rate in the area. The question at hand is one of basic land use in this area. Zoning for the site is ML (manufacturing) and residential. Their Redevelopment Plan hes an alternate use for residential only, they don't believe that the combination of a iiquor store and laundromat is going to do anything to improve the neighborhood. They strongly urge the Commission to deny this. They understand that by making that recommendation, the existing use may continue, but the existing use has had continual violations firom Code Enforcement about the maintenance and by allowing it to expand, they are exasperating a problem in an area with high cr?me. • Don Yourstone, Senior Code Enforcement Officer, Code Enforcement Division, Stated he went past the location on his way to work and the conditions are still the same as their memo dated January 28th. He does investigations with the Police Department regarding bars and night clubs etc., which employ security personnel. They find that an employee acting as a security guard does not work. It will have to be a securiry guard approved by the Pulice Department which meets all requirements of the state. Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if they close at 8:00 p.m., would they need security guards from the time they opened or from early afternoon until 8:00 p.m.? Don Yourstone: Responded he thought at least from early afternoon until night to assure that all patrons have left the property. Commissioner Boydstun: That gate is locked and nobody can get into the parking lot, Commissioner Koos: Stated he talked to a couple of police officers about this project and one of their main comments was that since this site is off the main arterial, it is a ripe area for the kind of activity that is going on there to continue, regardless of whether the building is torn down and built up again. He said he 03-29-99 Page 11 has no confidence that someone who makes minimum wage or slightiy a~bove will take it upon themselves to go out and disperse 6 guys hanging around outside doing their busine;os which has been going on at this site for many years. He stated normally the Police Department provides a staff report when asked about the liquor uses. They do not usuall~ ~ffer a recommsndation on a project, but on this one the F'olice Department is making a land use recommenc+ation to the Planning Commission for iYs denial. He feels when the Police Department feels this strongly, it makes him pause and reaily take a goo~ look a` !he project. He was also concerned over Redevelopment's recommendation that eventually this site could perhaps be developed with housing. it could probably be used for housing and he was not sure that this project is the best use, and if tne Commissi~n approves this, it gives a stamp of approval an something that they may not want ttiere in the long term. He feels the Commission should look for the highest and best use for the property and have a Iong term vision. He would rather see the Commission standing pat than taking an action today that they might regret I~ter. Greg Hastings: The Commission may wish to consider the waiver pe~taining to the setback on Olive Street. Staff was unable to find any hardship for that waiver and resulted in a need to utilize the parcel to the west which is currently zoned single family. Staff is concerned about encroachment of non-residential use into this residential neighborhood. Chairman Bristol: The Commission has varying opinions and that he is disappointed that the applicant came back with a request for those hours of operation because he thought they had talked about that. Commissioner Bostwick: He appreciated Commissioner Koos' feelings but he can't see aiiybody buying this 50-foot lot or the corner to build a house on. This area needs to transition, either get rid of industrial and go to all houses or get rid of the railroad tracks or go the other way, get rid of the houses and go industrial. Until they make up their minds, he feels this does make a betterment for the neighborhood. He suggested hours from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. as a compromise, and then close them both. He said they are going to relocate the phones from outside to inside which has been a constant problem. He feels there aren't enough windows to put signs on ar.d if you load them up with signs, the police can't see in. Tom Engle, Vice Detail-Police Department: Stated the Police Department still has the same concerns that they had last time. He feels it will be a problem with people drinking for the women and children who will be going to the Iaundromat. The Police Depa~tment is still recommending denial. He researched the calls for service o~ the location and from 1995 to 1999 there were 70 records in the computer. The majority of them are burglar alarms, but there is a prostitution call, assault and battery, bad checks, children loitering, a couple fights and armed robberies in progress and other things that go on that make the police go there. Commissioner Esping: Asked if this number of calis was greater than any other typical area. Tom Engle: It is typical of an area in the same location and a residential rype situation. Last time they were there was on March 14 for a drunk. Ch2irman Bristol: The applicant stated he wanted to extend the hours of operation until 10:00 F.m. In February they talked about 8:00 p.m. Now Commissioner Bostwick has indicated 9:00 p.m. with a security guard and the applicant would like to eliminate that. Commission knows that the Police Department will not want that, and asked him what hours should a security guard be on the location. Tom Engle: They should have the security guard during the hours of darkness and that they do not need someone there at 9:00 a.m., but they do need them th~re at 9:00 p.m. Commissioner Boydstun: Suggested closing at 9:00 p.m. and having the security guards from 2:00 p.m. to 10;00 p.m. and when they close, they lock the gate so people cannot go in the parking lot. 03-29-99 Page 12 Commissioner Esping: ~tated the guard should be there an hour aftEr they close to make sure there is no one around. Tom Engle: Stated that would work. Commissioner Boydstun: Stated thai gives them an 8-hour shift. Chairman Bristoi: Asked if there was a time limitation proposed on the permit. Cheryl Flores: Stated 4here was no time limit on it. There were a couple of Conditions in paragraph 24 (3 ar.d 4) that the police department recommended be includad. Access to the roof from inside and outside should be properly secured anc! there be no fewer than 3 employees present at all times, inciuding the security guard. Chairman Bristol: Asked if they could put a time limit on it. Cheryl Flores: Responded yes. Chairman Bristol: Said he w•ould, but isn't sure that he would go along with the recommendation to change anything except for the hour of operation from 8:30 to 9, the licensed security guard according to the terminology that Commissioner Bostwick stated and agreed with staff that there are to be no window signs. He would also put a term limit on the conditional use permit in case Commission is wrong. Cheryl Flores: Stated if there is a term on the conditional use permit and it expirzs, then they have the buildings to deal with and asked what kind of use would go in there. Commissioner Boydstun: Stated they should have a security guard approved by the Police Department from 2 to 10 and open no later than 9 p.m., and add the two conditions from the Police Department and we need the windows open so the police can see in when they drive by. Daniel Kang: Stated window signs are not important, but they want exterior signs on the wall. Commissioner Boydstun: Stated as long as they meet code which is 10%, they can put signs on the wall for a spaciai but not on the windov.. Jae Chung: Asked to delete Condition No. 19 regarding advertising of check chasing or lotlo services. Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if they were a store or check cashing market. She stated they have a neighborhood business, so the neighbors know what he has there. Jae Chung: Said they can put channel letters on the south and ea>t wall? Commissioner Esping: Check cashing is for the convenience o~ their regular customers and not be to advertised to the person driving by. Jae Chung: He said he cannot find any small laundromat or liquor store that has hired an armed guard in the City of Anaheim. It costs about $1,200 to $1,600 for the stora owner and it is really impossible to operate it 2nd asked for reconsideration of the guard. Commissioner Koos: Stated staff cannot identify a similar use in a ML zone and asked staff to talk about the unlisted uses for the ML zone for the record. Cheryl Flores: Paragraph 18 of the staff report states that this same request was processed in 1995; however, looking at it based on current goals for compatible and high quality of development, staff is unable to make the determination that this use is compatibis with the ML Zone. 03-29-99 Page 13 ~ommissioner Koos: Asked if it would set a precedent for future properties in the ML Zone? Cheryl Flores: Responded if it is determined that it is compatible and it is approved as an unlisted use, according to the City Attomey, it would then be a use that would be considered for a conditional use permit in the ML Zone. Selma Mann, Assistant City Attomey: Stated they are not talking abo~,~t a variance situation. This is actually a determination that a particular use is close enough to the uses that are permitted in a zone that it will be processed as a conditional use permit for that zone. It means that other uses that come in for the same rype of use would need to be processed as a conditional use permit in the zone as well. Commissioner Koos: Asked if future applicants could point to this approval for the ML Zone. He said the basis for this is faltering, but in the future, with this approved, the next one would not be so shaky, it would be soiid because this was approved in the ML Zone. Selma Mann: Clarified that if someone else would come in and if they wanted to put in a liquor storellaundromat, that the determination had already been made that the laundromat/liquor store combination is compatible and similar to the uses in the ML zone. Commissioner Esping: Asked Officer Engle to comment on Mr. Chung's comment about finding no sifuations where an armed security guard has been hired in other locations and asked if there are other places that are required to have an armed guard. Tom Engle: Said he did not see anything that said the guard had to be armed. Some of the markets in the west end have security guards. He did not know of this situation before where they have required it for a laundromat/liquor store. He didn't know of any other combination IaundromaUliquor store in the city in a residential area. The crime rate is still high and has not changed. Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager: Wanted to ~larify that a portion of the property is zoned RS- 5000 so approval could set a precedenE for that zone as well, even though there is only a parking lot. Also, ihere is a recommended condition regarding the signage that requires all signage to come back for Planning Commission review and approval. So the intent to put sales signs on the building would not be permitted unless Planning Commission approved them as permanent signs. Cummissioner Koos: It sounds like the other Comm~ssioners will not be willing to drop the security guard provision should this be approved. The applicant is stating that he could not afford this anyway, so how will he resolve this. Daniel Kang: Stated if they could reduce the hours of the security guard, it v~ould help them out. Their quote was based cn 40 hours a week but because the market is open 7 days, it rvould be more than 40 hours. They would like to keep the hours down it would help them. Voting: Commissioner Koos: Offered a motion to approve a CEQA Negative Declaration, second by Commissioner Boydstun and motion was carried. Commissior:sr Koos: OfFered motion to deny Waiver A based on the staff report. Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if the 10 foot setback was behind the sidewalk and if the sidewaik was 8 feet wide. Cheryl Flores: Thought the existing building was set back 12 feet from the sidewalk. 03-29-99 Page 14 Commissioner Koos offered a motion to deny Waiver A, seconded by Commissioner Esping. Vote taken, it was 3 in favor and 3 opposed. Failed to carry due to tie vote. Commissioner Koos: Offered a resolution to deny Conditional Use Permit No. 4099 based on staff recommendations partfculariy that this use is not allowed in the ML Zone. Selma Mann: Advised tnat Waiver B nesds to be considered. Commissioner Koos: Stated he would not offer a motion on the Waiver A as yet. Commissioner Boydstun: Stated they a~reed to construct a 6-foot high masonry wall. Commissioner Bostwick: Offered a motion for approval of Waiver B in that they are placing a 6-foot wall on the west property line, seconded by Commissioner Boydstun and motion was carried, and Commissioner Koos voted no. Greg Hastings: Addressed Commissioner Bostwick to clarify that Condition No. 22 requires an 8-foot high block wall along the west property line and the waiver is between these two interior properties. It is a technicality because of the ML Zone and RS-5000 Zone which comprises the property. They have agreed to put the wall up on the west property line. Commissioner Bostwick: Stated that is the way it reads but it is the west property line of fot 1 whicF is the ML lot. Greg Hastings; Responded yes, that is correct. Commissioner Koos: Askad if the Commission had to move on Waiver A? Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if the applicant could set back 12 feet as the building is now? Cheryl Flores, Senior Planr.er: Responded the sidewalk is 10 feet wide. Tho existing building is 12 feet back. Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager: Advised a possible solution would be if the applicant could comply with the setback, it would reduce the laundry facility by 15 feet. If the project was approved under the conditional use permit, that is one way of eliminating the waiver. Commissioner Bostwick: Asked if it was strictly the laundromat. Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager: Responded that would be one solution because of the long fength of the laundromat if the building is pushed to the west and thP laundromat portion is reduced down the same amount of feet that they would pick up for ine setback. Commissioner Boydstun: Asked the applicant if it would be possible to meet the setback requirements and reduce the size of the laundromat? Daniel Kang: Responded it would be finar.cially difficult to accomplish. They are right at the top and woulJ heve to cut back as much as possible to allow for the parking spaces that the City requires. Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager: Advised if the laundromat is reduced in size, it also reduces the amount of parking that is required. Jae Chung: It is irnpossible to obtain a construction loan from the bank without the waiver and asked C~mmission to reconsider Waiver A. 03-29-99 Page 15 Chairman Bristol: Stated Commissfon was tied on Waiver A. Selma Mann, Assistant City Attomey: Advised ordinarily if the Planning Commissian absolutely ties on an item, it would automatically go to the City Council for them to decide. The City Council would prefer not to receive items that have a tie vote from the Planning Commission. in the past the matter has been continued until the missing Planning Commissioner can listen to the tape and participate in the decision in order to break the tie. The other possibility is for someone else to make ~ different motion with regard to :he waiver, possibly changing the type of waiver identifying a reason that possibly has nof been identified so far for the granting of a waiver so that the motion is different and is agreeable to more Planning Commissioners than the original motion. Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager: Usually revised plans would be required in order to have a plan that the Commission approved, unless Commission specifically dictates how the rest of the property would change. Commissioner Bostwick: Asked if that could return as a Reporfs and Recommendation item? Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager: That could be done, however, he cautioned the danger in doing that. Commission Boydstun: Asked the applicant if they could they take 5 feet off of the laundromat to compensate? Jae Chung: He reiterated the financial cost that would be involved and asked Commission to reconsider Waiver A. Commissioner Bostwick: Offered a motion to approve Waiver A with a 15-foot setback in place of the 25 feet required., seconded by Commissioner Boydstun and motion was carried (Commissioner Koos voted no). Commissioner Koos: Offered a resoluiion to deny Conditional Use Permit No. 4099 based on staff recommendations. Resolution failed to carry with Koos and Napoles voted yes, Commissioner Boydstun, Bristol and Bostwick, Esping voting no. Commissioner Bostwick: Ofi`ered a resolution to approved Conditional Use Permit No, 4099 with the foliowing changes: Condition No. 2- hours of operation shall be 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Ccndition No. S- licensed security guards, if requested by the Police Department, shall be provided on the premises specifically to provide secur~ty and discourage vandalism, trespassing, etc. The security guard wiil be on the premises at least from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily, if required.

Cheryl Flores: Recommended adding to Condition No. 38 that no outdoor storage display or sales of any merchandise including shopping carts or fixtures shall be stored inside the building. Commissioner Boydstun: Suggested adding a condition that the p~rking lof gate(s) shall be chained and locked from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m, 03-29-99 Page 16 Greg Hastings: Clarified that Condition ~~lo. 22, since there was a recent code amgndmsnt, now the condition shouid read, "That the petitioner shall install an 8-foot high masonry block wall along the westerly property line excepting the front setback where the wall height shall not exceed 3 feeY'. There is now no need for an Administrative Adjustment. Resai~tion passed with Commissioner Koos voting no. ACTION: Approved Negative Declaration Approved, in part, Waiver of Code Requirement as follows: Approved, in part, waiver (a) pertaining to minimum setback abutting a collector street (Olive Street), but modified from the requested building setback from 10 feet to 15 feet with the requirement that the modified plans be returned as a Reports and Recommendations item.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT N0. 4108 Granted OWNER: Savi Ranch Associates, a Califomia General Partnership, 2030 Main St., Suite #640, Irvine, CA 92614 AGEN7: William Hobin, P.O. Box 2034, Santa Monica, CA 90401 LOCATION: South of the terminus of Puliman Street at Old Canal Road. Property is 2.14 acres located south of the corner of Pullman Street and Old Canal Road. To construct a new self storage facifiry with a building height in excess of 35 feet with waiver of {a) permitted commercial identification sign, (b} maximum structural height adjacent to a residential zone, (c) minimum landscape setback adjacent to a residential zone and (d) required site screening adjacent to a residential zone. Continued from the Commission meeting of March 15, 1999. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION N0. PC99-57 SR1099JK.DOG FOLLQ.WING ISA SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING_COMMfSSION'ACTION Chairman Bristol: Stated a letter was received from Gary Murray, Anaheim Hills Citizens Coalition, and Mr. Pepper. Cheryl Flores, Senior Planner: Submitted other letters received from Crum and Mitchell Inc. and from Southern California Edison. ApplicanYs Statement: Bill Hobin, William Warren Group, P.O. Box 2034, Santa Monica, CA 90406: Stated this request is for a unique state of the art self storage facility. They feel the approval of this project makes practical business serise and clearly fits in with the newly drafted pol~cy regarding self storage facilities. The industry started in Texas in the late 60's. During the 1970's the term "mini storage" became very popular in these very inexpensive buildings. Most of the facilities built in the 70's are still standing today. In the 1980's freeway sites were beiieved to be the true success indicators for storage properties. Many cities have freeway visibility facilities with orange doors and chain link fences and that type of facility tarnishes the public's image of storage facilities. In the eariy and mid 90's the term mini storage changed to self storage, trying to change the image of the facilities. Demand was very strong and the transition created further demand but they wanted to improve the facilities to get closer to their customer base. Therefore, most of the facilities built in the 90's have been upgraded to fit in close to a residential community and some have residential housing or different architectural elements to tie them in with the community. Today is the "fourth generation" of self storage. Their biggest user now is businesses. In a national suNey they determined 4he number one need was convenience. They do not want to be more than three 03-29-99 Page 19 miles away. Their market is a very small 3-mile circie from the site. The customer wants to be close to where they live, shop and work so they can come into the facility, pick up what they want and be on their way. The facility they have designed at the Savi Ranch parcel is a new state of the art 4-story facility, one subgrade level and 3 levels up. The reason they had to get that size of a project is due to the complexity of the Savi Ranch site which was very difficuit to develop. Phil Schwartz: He narrated a slide presentation of some similar high-end new state-of-the-art, multi- storage self-storage projects. He mentioned that the most important slides were converted onto hardboard and demonstrate the before and after conditions of the site. The site does include high voltage underground cables (kV lines specially constructed, not easily moved). The site is highly irregular in shape. There is no freeway visibility and you would have to stand on the edge of the freeway and look down in order to see it. The City has received no funds from this property at all since its existence. He presented to Redevelopment (Richard Bruckner) and staff the economic justification for the location as a high security storage facility. They feel this is the highest and best use for the site as a storage facility. The cost is $14 a square footjust to relocate the line, without any land cost or improvements completed. in fact, a flat pad can not be graded unless the line is relocated which is only a couple of feet underground. It has been suggested by the Redevelopment staff that an RV facility can be done at subject site. His experience with RV facilities is that they are in the 10 to 20 acre range. There was another suggestion for an auto boutique dealer. Anyone who has a high value product, always comes to the cities and tries to get the cities to 5uy ciown the land and do some other things. There was also a suggestion for a restaurant at the site but again there is the financial issue of moving the electricai. This facility is geared specifically to the commercial and business community that needs a secure place for storage. He is not aware of any other facility in the city of Anaheim such as the one they are proposing. The facility looks like a high quality o~ce building, unlike any that has ever been before staff or Commission. This property has been for sale for 16 years with nobody willing to stand up and spend the money to resolve iPs problems. This is a$6 million investment. They have asked for four waivers, two make reference to the residentially-zoned property and the other two to the electrical and water and they have come with recommendations for approval from staff. The sign waiver is a direct result from the poor visibility due to the substation, freeway slope and parking deck for the auto dealership. The fourth request fior the landscaping setback waiver relates to landscaping naxt to houses. OPPOSITION: Peggy Pfeifer, on behalf of Anah~im Hills Citizens Coalition: She stated several letters were submitted to Commission and asked if she should read them. Craig Claussen: Stated that in less than 90 days he is completing 125,000 square feet of storage units. ~ave Alderman, Voit Commercial Brokerage, 18500 Von Karman, Irvine: He has been in marketing of Savi Ranch for 16 years. They havE developed over one million square feet and there are 3 parcels left and this is one of them. There are about five good reasons why the property has not sold. They have been unsuccessful in trying to sell it since 1983 due to the configuration of the site, being next to unsightly MWD and Southern California Edison Property, the site is very noisy because it is so close to the freeway. In his opinion this is the highest and best use. 03-29-99 Page 20 Phil Schwartz: Advised Mr. Claussen that they are well aware of the new facility being built and feel that it is not competition. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Koos: Regarding the monument sign, he asked if the code-allowed monument sign fs too small for them? Phil Schwartz: Advised it is shown in the grapiiic, and because they are on the corner, they are trying to locate a sign so that people can see them as they pass by. Their judgment was that the sign is too small and that is why the use came up the way it did. There is no sign along the back on the freeway because you can not see the sign from there so they are only using the sign on the front and the monument sign. Commissioner Bostwick: Asked if they could do away with the one on the building and just use the monument sign. Phil Schwartz: Their preference is to keep what they have and they do need to have some advertisement. They are not going to advertise against the freeway. ~ommissioner Bosiwick: They do not have frontage on two roads and they can not have signs, and that is the reason for the waiver. They are also on the curve. Phil Schwartz: It is an unusual circumstance. He added in the years that he has been around here, he has never asked for a waiver like this. Commissioner Koos: Stated he has a hard time seeing the dire need for the wall sign. Asked who is going to see it other than those coming down Pullman? Commissioner Bostwick: Stated it would be better on the east side of the building facing Weir Canyon rather than facing it north. It would have exposure from the highway there and the monument sign on the street level. Commissioner Koos: Agreed that this was the highest and best use for this corner. Asked if the facade design was final or will there be further elevations as a Reports and Recommendations item. Phil Schwart~: Stated that this is it. Commissioner Koos: Stated that he would prefer consistency in the area. Commissioner Bostwick: He thought Commissioner Koos was referring to the rock work on the Kaiser building and proposed Burnett-Polygon site on Weir Canyon where they are using a shale rock. Phil Schwartz: Stated it is actually artificial, they poured concrete into a form. Commissioner Bostwick: It would give it a more architectural relief on the building. He agrees the building looks yood considering it is staged and stepped but perhaps rather than the glass blocked cube look, part of it could be enhanced with rock work. Phil Schwartz: Stated since the Commission's discussion would involve spending a lot more money, he would hat~e the client respond. William Hobin: Stated it is a financial issue and they do not have the budget to install it; and that they have tried to use materials that are providing the structure of the building and the rock work is a veneer type of material. 03-29-99 Page 21 Commissioner Koos: Suggested not necessarily go to that detail, but it Just iooks very flat. He could live with it. Phil Schwartz: Presented exhibits showing the material and what the block looks like, and that it does have 3-dimensional look, even though it did not appear to in the computer graphic. Commissioner Boydstun: Agreed the material had a lot more texture. Commissioner BostwicR referred to the trail element, and expiained that Richard Mayer from the Parks Department had explained it was part of the Counry trail system and was required and they do have plans to make the trail go someplace under the freeway to connect with other trail systems. Chairman Bristol: Stated, for the record, he telephoned Sonja Grewal and asked if she had had an opportunity to review the plans. Many of the concerns in the letters seemed to be addressed in the plans. He asked Mrs. Pfeifer if what she saw today answered her questions about the visibiliry of the property, line of sight and what it looks Iike compared to what is there now. Mrs. Pfeifer: Said this was the first time she had seen the site elevations and she would have to gc ~ver it with the other people from the Coalition to get their input. It looks better than what she was antici~~ating when she wrote the letter. Commissioner Bostwick: Stated that in the other part of the letter, they said it was next to a residential zone, but the residential zone is the Edison prcperty, so it is not next to any homes. Mrs. Pfeifer: Stated the letter was written with the knowledge of another type of structure. Chairman Bristol: Stated depending on which way this goes, the Council may want to look at it in a couple of weeks. Commissioner Bostwick: Stated he questioned Mr. Schwartz about the trees because the site is actually below the trees that are now existing. Those trees will remain and provide a buffer from Weir Canyon and the freeway on-ramp to the site. Mrs. Pfeifer: Asked if they were still asking for the landscape variance. Chairman Bristol: Stated it is required because it is next to the Southern California easement and water easement, so there will not be anything there. Comrnissioner Bostwick: Stated tnere are large eucalyptus trees there which will stay. Chairman Bristol: It is highly unlikely that anything will ever happen on the site to the east. Mrs. Pfeifer: Stated they are aware of that but this elevation is something new. It was a surprise. Cheryl Flores: Stated the roll up doors for the individ~~! units are shown with a color that matches the building in the elevation. She asked that the Commission make that a requirement if they do approve this, rather than having it be some bright contrasting color that would light up the hallways as an advertisement for the facility. She requesied changes ta the fol~owing conditions: Conditi~n 9: Use the same wording that was inciuded for the storage facility that is being built on Santa Ana Canyon Road. "That no outdoor storage including the storage of automobiles, boats, motorhomes, etc, shall be permitted in connection with this self-storage fac;lity". 03-29-99 Page 22 Add a condition stating that with the exception of one grand opening event, not to exceed 36 days, no dispiay of banners or other temporary advertising shall be permitted and no special events as defined in code section 18.01.200 shall be pc~mitted on site. William Hobin: Regarding the roll up doors, they are not on the outside, but are inside the building. The individual tenants have their own individual door. He thought Ms. Flores requested them so they could not be seen through the glass. Cheryl Flores: Stated the preference wouid be that they match the earth or neutrai tones of the building. Also on Condition 28, delete conditions 13 and 18 from condition 28, and add condition 13 to 29, noting they all pertain to timing. During the Voting: Commissioner Bosbnrick: Offered resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 4108 with changes to Condition No. 9, that there be no outdoor storage of a~;cos, boats or RV's and the ~utdoor storage area shall not be fenced. That in Condition ~Vo. 28 they eliminate condition 13 and 18. On Condition No. 29 they add condition 13. That there be a condition added, that the roll-up doors for access to storage spaces shall be painted to match the color of interior building. Also add a condition, that there shall only be one grand opening event and no other special events. Wi!liam Hobin: Asked if colors could be matching or accenting which would give them a larger color palette that they could use on the inside? Commissioner Bostwick: Stated they wanted the doors visible through the glass area to match so thEy do not stand out as an advertising feature. William Hobin: Asked about a color that slightly offsets the doors? Cheryl Flores: Suggested the applicant could return as a Reports and Recommendation item for the colors and that the term "accenY' may be a little broad. William Hobin: Responded they would be pleased to return with a color palette. IN FAVOR: 1 ietter was received in favor of subject proposal. OPPOSITION: 2 people spoke in opposition Correspondence was received in opposition. ACTION: Approved Negative Declaration Approved Waiver of Code Requirement Granted Conditional Use Permit No, 4108 with the following changes to conditions: Modified Condition Nos. 9, 28 and 29 to read as follows: 9.

CONDiTIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION N0. PC99-58 SR1102JK.DOC :F L'OWING IS A SUI~MARY'OF THE PLANNWG;GOMMISSION ACTION, ApplicanYs Statemenl: Antonio Martinez: 941 North Cambria Street, Anaheim: He is owner of market and stated reasons why he wanted to change from a meat market to convenience market. Chairman Bristol: Asked Mr Martinez if he read the conditions? Antonio Martinez: Responded yes. Chairman Bristol: Asked him if he owned the property? Antonio Martinez: Responded the owner of the property was there with him. Jean Gross: Stated she is the on-site manager and bookkeeper for the shopping center. She has concerns abou! the following conditions: + Installing trees Every 20 feet, she does not have enough room in the planters that are existing to do this. The shopping center already has drought-resistant shrubs that bloom and asked why they have to tear out existing shrubs to put in trees. • Regarding palms trees, there originally were City palm trees there but they have been taken out becau:e of telephone and electrical wires. • Regarding Condition No. 2, irrigation - for 8 years she kept the irrigation up but the kids from the schools destroy the irrigation on a regular basis. She tried keeping it up for 8 years and finally quit when they messed up the wall and the ~vafer leading to the irrigation was broken and flooded the liquor store and street. She maintains the plants that have been there for at least 20 years. 03-29-95 Page 25 • Regarding tree trimming - they are shrubs that grow 3- 4 feet high and are kept waist high so fhat children can be visible when walking by. • Rsgarding trash bfns in public view, there are two trash bins, one is on an inset not in public view. On the other side they c~nnot build anything due to fire access. • Pubiic telephones - when Code Enforcement came, they told her to attach them to the building, but now they want them removed. She will remove them if the people on the corner take theirs out, noting they have one on the sidewalk. The 7-Eleven across the street has four public telephones and she can not understand why she has to remove her public telephones. • Regarding the slurry seal, she agreed it needs to be done. Chairman Bristol: Explained if this request is approved, as recommended by staff, then her two bi~lboards will have to be removed. Jean Gross: She will give them a 30-day notice. She does not feel she should have to pay for all the legal work involved should they not remove them and feels she should be compensated for some part of it, but did not know by whom. Chairman Bristol: He wanted to be sure that both she, and the owner understood that the billboards would have to be removed. Jean Gross: Responded they understood. Yolanda Zanchi, owner of property: Stated she understood that the signs need to be removed. She wants to do it legally because the terant has a lease and may give them trouble. Commissioner Bostwick: Advised her that the Commission cannot help her with that, and asked if she has a iermination clause in the lease? Yolar.~a Zanchi: Yes but she does not want to have to hold them to 30 days and requested a longer period of time. Commissioner Bostwick: Asked her what the termi~~ation clause was in her lease? Yolanda Zanchi: She did not anticipate there would be any problem but wanted to make sure that she is legally protected. She is welf aware staff does not want the sign and she is in agreement. Chairman Brist~l: There are two sinns. Jean Gross: She cannot do it within 30 days. If they do not voluntarily leave, then she will have to do something else thraugh the court system which could take as long as 6 to 8 months. Yoianda Zanchi: They are going to try Eo remove them. Commissioner Esping: Asked what the termination clause was in the lease? Yolanda Zanchi: There should be a tarmination but a tenant c2n be very difficult. They do not always comply with the law and may refuse to move. Commissioner Esping: Suggested Code Enfarcement could assist. Commissioner Bostwiclc: Stated she has the right to proceed for Iegai regress from them but if the lessee asks for a 60-day termination then ttiey would make it match. Most are on a 30-day termination in writing by either party, but she has to review the lease. Jean Gross: Stated there is no lease and they are on month-to-month rental agreement 03-29-99 Page 26 Commissioner Bostwick: Stated 30 days is adequate. Jean Gross: Agreed, if they voluntarily leave. Yolanda Zanchi: Referred to the responsibility to remove graffiti within 24 hours. They do it all the time. Jean Gross: Said they cannot even tell it is stucco on the back of the liquor store anymore because it is so filled with painted with graffiti. Commissioner Bostwick: Stated she might consider planting vines in the planter along that wall that faces the street. Jean Gross: The back of the liquor store gets graffitied where it is all asphalt. Yolanda Zanchi: She would like to permit a window sign which is limited. Jean Gross: Condition No. 24, regarding the liquor store, the tenants can not be controlled. Chairman Bristol: He disagreed. There has been a great deal of effort in her area to improve it and the City is very ste; n on the items that she is talking about. Commissioner Boydstun: It takes away the visual blight and allows the police to see inside when driving by in case of crime. it is a safety issue thro~~ghout the City, not just a visual issue. Commissioner Boydstun: Advised this action will take precedent over her lease. Jean Gross: Stated the City Code says 10%. Commissioner Koos: Advised they can go above and beyond. Jean Gross: Asked if Commission will ha~idle it and deal with it? Commissioner Bostwick: Told her to take the copy of this and tell them they can no longer have it. ,iean Gross: Condition No. 15, regarc~ing the parking lot lights - she already has adequate lights. She just spent approximately $1,000 to get them working again. THE ~'UBLIC HEARING'NAS CLOSED. Commissioner Bost~vick: Staff has recommended that the applicant plant trees every 20 feet. In reality there are about 5 or 6 areas where they have planters tliat would accept trees. Asked if they could change that to 7? Jean Gross: Asked who would be responsible when the roots come up through the parking lot and sidewalk? She said there is not enough open ground there for them. Commissioner Bostwick: Suggested the applicant speak with Communi'ry Services, Parks Division. They can give a list of trePS that are approved. Properly planting and placing a barrier prevents that from happening. Jean Gross: Visibility for a shopping center is the major concern. If trees grow tall, they will have to be cut down because of power and telephone lines on be!h cides of the street. Commissioner Bostwick: Advised her planters are inside of whe~e the power lines are, out at the curb. a3-29-99 Page 27 Jean Gross: They are right on the top and had photos to show this. • Chairman Bristol: Asked about the palm tree in the photograph. Jean Gross: It is a City palm tree. Cheryl Flores: Advised they are pruned on a rotating basis, and suggested that the Parks Division (Urban Forestry) should be notified. She advised Ms. Gross should speak with the Urban Forestry Division because they are the ones !hat determine the species of the trees in the public right-of-way. Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if they cut them down, shouldn't they replace them? Cheryl Flores: They hZVe been asking for the property owners to replace the trees. Chairman Bristol: He felt it is unfair. Jean Gross: Agreed. Why should she have to keep on replanting them? Commissioner Boydstun: She could see requiring planting in the planters which are inside ;he property line and out of the way of the lines, but she can not see replacing them unless there is some kind of tree that will not grow tall fast and the City is not going to take it out. It seems like two different departments of tl~e City fighting each other. Greg H2stings, Zoning Division Manager: Advised staff could condition that, if required by that particular department, that the species they recommend be replanted. Staff will speak to them also to see if it is typical. It seems rather odd and if it is not, then that condition would be complied with simply by them giving staff a memo, otherwise Commission could delete the condition. Commissioner Boydstun: She thought it should be deleted. Chairman Bristol: Ms. Gross was correct regarding the trees in the pianters, and there does not appear that there are too many areas of 20 feet but when that happens they measure it by the width and length of the property itself to determine how many trees are best suited there. Chzryl Flores: Stated they do not have to be planted 20 feet on center, perhaps the applicant could give staff a number as to how many trees she feels could be planted and the,y could take a look at it. She also suggested a 60 day timing instead of 30 days on Condition Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10,13, 14, 15, 24 and 27. They would also like to condition it to add that the current operating hours for the liquor store, which are now 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. seven days a week, be limit~d to those hours. The convenience mart should be also conditioned to the hours they have now, 8:00 a.m, to 8:00 p.in. seven days a week. Staff would also like to see the shopping carts stored inside the convenience market. Chairman Bristol: Suggested 5 trees on Knott and 5 trees on Orange and let the staff and the applicant determine where they are going to be planted. Commissioner Boydstun: Suggested grouping sori;e at the corner then at each end to leave it open. Cheryl Flores: She thought it would work out fine. Chairman Bristol: Asked Ms. Gross if she understood? Jean Gross: Stated she did not think 5 on each street is fair, and suygested a total of 4 trees. Commissioner Boydstun: Suggested she could group them. 03-29-99 Page 28 Jean Gross: Questioned why she should have to tear out the existing drought tolerant bushes that are gorgeous to put in trees. Chairman Bristol: Stated they like to have trees. Commissioner Boydstun: Advised they are doing this in front of all the prope~ties. Chairman Bristol: Stated they did not have to determine the trees right now, but Ms. Gross made a valid comment regard~ng the tree welis and utility lines. However, on the site itself, there are oppor4unities for planters in both streets. If they put a limit, she can group them and she will need to notify staff where she is going to plant them. Commissioner Bostwick: Advised putting 3 by the liquor store and one in each of the planters on that side to group them together. Jean Gross: Said she did not have a problem putting them by the liquor store ar on the side of the liquor store. Chairman Bristol: Cautioned not to put all of them there. Jean Gross: Said she would put all of them there because that is where she has the most problem with the irrigation, and that is where the school children destroy the irrigation. If she plants trees or bushes out there they will not be stolen. Commissioner Esping: Advised she needs to inform the schools. He is a former educator and he knows the administration would be more than happy to make themselves available before and after school hours to check and make sure things are taken care of. He feels they will offer some assistance. Jean Gross: She agreed. Commissioner Bostwick: Suggested she plant holly or bougainvillea, something with sharp edges. Chairman Bristol: Asked staff roughly how many trees are required at a ratio of one to 20 feet looking at their lot dimensions? Cheryl Flores: Responded it would be a total of 20 trees. Chairman Bristol: Advised that was the code requirement for the property; and that Commission is asking for a total of 10 trees, 5 on Knott and 5 on Orange, code requires 20. Commissioner Boydstun: Advised she can group them and not have to spread them out evenly. Jean Gross: Said she probably will not guarantee that some of them will remain there. Chairman Bristol: Asked if they were includirg that as a condition? Cheryl Flores: 5tated it was actually 24 trees so she is getting a good deal. During the voting: Jean Gross: Stated they are open from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., 7 days a week. OPPOSITION: None 03-29-99 Page 29 ACTION: Approved Negative Declaration Denied Waiver of Code Requfrement as follows: Denied waiver (a) pertaining to continuation of nonconforming billboards based on the lack of special circumstances applicable to this request which would warrant the granting of a waiver which provides a spec~al priviiege to this property.

On page 2, item 11, of the staff report referring to a canopy supported by four columns, it is actually only three columns. Page 5, item 27 C-4, clarified that this facility will draw customers from a 3 to 5 mile radius around the facility but cannot say it will be exclusively within that radius. Chairman Bristol: Stated that was fine. It is just staff's opinion. Ken Barton: Regarding the Condition No. 2. They will use canopy signs for their identification, there are no monument or freestanding signs proposed. They are assuming the condition does not address directional signs. Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager: He suggested it read that no freestanding advertising signs. Ken Barton: On Condition No. 3, they have no problem with the elimination of public telephones however, they would Iike to ensure there is a clause that is required by the Fire Department because of the intended nature of the operation. Chairman Bristol: Asked if there is a way of locking that7 Ken Barton: The phone is setup so there are no cars are allowed to come in. Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager: He suggested adding the verbiage, "unless required by the Fire Department:' Ken Barton: Condition No. 32, which was discussed with staff and they provided a written explanation of those concerns. They have existing 10-foot wide planters on the two streets. They are not opposed to having 3-foot high berms but the 10-foot planters will not allow those to be properly done. If a 1 to 2 slope is the absolute minimum then there is not enough room at the top of the 3-foot berm to adequate{y plant the 24-inch trees that is being required. They suggested to staff that rather than having a 3-foot berm and Q3-29-99 Page 33 5-gailon shrubs on top of that, allow them to put 2-foot berms with 15-gallon shrubs. This would give the same height and give a broader base for the trees to be able to grow properly. Otherwise they are fn agreement with the conditions of approvaL THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
