hearing which resulted in Tape 1, which included ltem Nos 1-A, 2,'3, 4, 5 and 6, being inaudihle :'.
Therefore 4he discussion was composed, from staff's no4es
ApplicanYs Statement:
Paul Kott, 1225 West Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, CA: Referenced two renderings they provided which
were posted on the exhibit wall. Staff recommended sixty conditions of approval relative to their project.
He was in agreement with almost all of the conditions except for a few which they are concerned with.
City of Anaheim Planning Commission
Summary Action Agenda

Paye 4
Condition No.16 requires a modification to the traffic signal at the intersection of Broo~hurst Street and
Crescent Avenue to provide for separate phasing for eastbound and westbound traffic on Crescent
Avenue. It is in the Redevelopment Corridor Area and the Redevelopment Agency should bear the cost
and not the developer since it was going to be done with or without the existence of this project.
Condition No. 56 requires the dedication of 7 additional feet adjacent to Gramercy Avenue for street
improvements and the improvement ta the right-of-way unless waivers are approved at a separate public
hearing. That represents a time burden and he was very surprised to see that as a condition.
He requested a modification to the existing hours of operation, in regards to the service station, the staff
report states it will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily. It should read that it will be open 24 hours,
daily. He also req~ested 24 hours for the drive-through car wash. Representatives from Carl's Jr., would
like to be open 24 hours daily. He also requested the retaii establishment be open from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m.
on a regular basis.
Condition No. 19 requires the placement of two double-double yellow stripes along Brookhurst Street. He
felt that should not be their responsibility.
He pointed out an error in the staff report for the record. Paragraph No.10 on page 3 states the floor plan
for the service station/convenience markeUcar wash indicates a total floor area of 3,000 square feet
(including the car wash). That should read "excluding" the car wash, not including it.
Commissioner Boydstun: Indicated it was corrected on the following page.
Paul Kott: He has been informed that they are short of parking spaces and this matter can be handled
through the filing and approval of an Administrative Adjustment. He asked for a clarification on that,
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairman Bristol: Asked st~ff to clarify Condition Nos.16 and 19 for the petitioner.
Alfred Yalda, Principal Transportation Planner: Stated this project will directly contribute to the tra~c on
Brookhurst Street. The cost of the modification to the traffic signal would be approximately $5,000 to
$5,000.
Commissioner Boydstun: Stated Condition No.19 concerning the two double stripes is do to the fact that
the Redevelopment Agency has not settled with the Junior High School across the street. She felt
Commission should remove the condition and Redevelopment should be responsible for it.
Chairman Bristol: Indicated they discussed the possibility of deleting Condition No. 4 at the morning work
session.
Cheryl Flores, Senior Planner: Condition No. 4 can be deleted because that requirement is covered in
Condition No. 3.
Ramona Casta~eda, Project Manager, Community Development: In regards to the placement of two
double-double yellow stripes along Brookhurst Street, they are requiring this in order to facilitate traffic, a
raised median would eventually need to be installed in it's place.
Chairman Bristol: A;;ked if the applicant is required to place the double-double striping now, will they also
be required to pay for the raised median?

Ramona Casta~ecia: Responded no, they will not be required to pay for it
Chairman Bristol: Asked what oan Commission do regarding Condition No. 55 requiring an Administrative
Adjustment for the additional parking spaces?
Alfred Yalda: Advised there is a possibility that they can redesign it to provide two additional parking
spaces.
Commissioner Bostwick: Condition No. 56 relates to the waiver of the 7-foot dedication. On the
discussion at the morning session, there was a suggestion that this item be continued for
readvertisement. If it is adve~tised then the applicant will have to return and pay the readvertisement fee
for the additional waiver. It wouid not cost the applicant more money if this matter was continued.
Regarding the hours of operation, he did not have a problem with the request to have the service station
open 24 hours nor the hours for the retail establishment.
Cheryl Flores: She confirmed that they can advertise the additional waivers within a two-week period.
Mr. ICott: Requested that they receive approval today except for that one item and have the application
fee waived when they apply for the additional waiver. He aiso requested clarification on the amount th~y
will be required to pay for the modification of the traffic signal.
Alfred Yalda: Regarding Condition 16, the maximum cost for the modification will be $5,000 to $8.000.
Mr. Kott: Condition No. 53 requires R&R approval of the signs and asked if that was for the components
of the signs and not the location.
Chairman Bristol: Responded that is correct. The item that will return as a Reports and
Recommendations item to finalize the size and specifics of the signs. The location will remain the same
as identified on the plans. '
Commissioner Bostwick: Suggested the following modifications to the conditions of approval:
• Delete Condition No. 4.
• Modify Condition No.16 to require that the petitioner pay a maximum of $5,000 for the modification of
the traffic signal.
• Delete Conditiun No. 19.
Alfred Yalda: Asked for a clarification as to whether Commissioner Bostwick v/as recommending the
Redevelopment Agency pay for the placement of two double-double yellow stripes along Brookhurst
Street?
Commissioner Bostwfck: He continued recommending with the following modifications to the conditions of
approval: ~
• Condition No. 19, he felt if the Redevelopment Agency wants the iwo double-double yellow stripes
placed along Brookhurst Street then the F~gency can bear the cost.
• Condition No. 27, he recommended the hours of operation be 24 hours for the service station, 6 a.m.
to 11 p.m. for the convenience market, 24 hours for the drive-through car wash, 24 hours for the fast
food restaurant and 6 a.m, to 12 a.m. for the retail establishment.
Cheryl Flores: Stated if this item is cantinued, they can add a conditic~n about the Queen Palm trees to
match the Home Depot landscaping.
Mr. Kott: He felt that would not be a problem with the developer.

ApplicanYs Statement:
Jack Culp, 6614 Ocean View, Carlsbad, CA 92009: Stated after reviewing the staff report, he felt there
were four items of concern.
Chairman Bristol: Asked Mr. Culp iF he had any problems with any of the recommended conditions of
approval?
Mr. Culp: Responded he had a problem with Condition No.1. He did not understand why the permit
would expire on December 1, 2000 if he has paid all the fees.
Chairman Bristol: Resp~nded staff tied this conditional use permit with his lease and asked Mr. Culp if he
had a business license?
Mr. Culp: They have been trying to obtain a business license since April of 1998.
Condition No. 4 requires the reconstruction of the driveway to accommodate 10-foot radius curb returns.
The widening of the driveway is a problem because thsy have spent a lot of money on the landscaping.
The City approved the design and gave them a sidewalk waiver. .
Condition No. 13 refers to the on-site trash truck turn-around area. The turn-around area on his property
was designed by the City and they built it according to City specifications.

Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if there is enough room for the trash trucks to come in and out
Mr. Culp: Responded trash trucks come in and out safely.
Commissioner Boydstun: That is a standard condition that is placed on many projects.
Mr. Culp: Condition No.16 is a problem. it requires a 10-foot wide landscaped setback. They do not
mind plantir~g trees and he could see why they shouid do that, but that area is covered with decorated
concrete that they would like to retain,
PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Boydstun: Asked staff for clarification of Condition No.16.
Melanie Adams, Associate Civil Engineer: There appears to be a misunderstanding. The curb location
will not change. It will be 32 feet from the center line, the curb will not move. The applicant has been
grar,ted a sidewalk waiver that can be revoked with proper notice. It is actually 13 feet from the curb. He
would normally be required to install a 6-foot sidewalk and the remaining will be public access
landscaping. There is no additional street widening. They do not want him to instal! more tre~s because
they would ~ike to see side walks throughout that area.
Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if the applicant could install trees in the public right-of-way?
Melanie Adams: He should install more trees in his front setback area,
Mr. Cuip: The entire floor of thE property is decorated concrete.
Chairman Bristol: He has visited the site a couple of times and liked the way the property looked.
Greg Hastings, Zoning Division Manager: Staff cuntinues to recommend that there be a 10-foot front
landscaped area which would be totally on site. There is currently 2 feet of the landscaping area, an
additional 8 feet is required to make up the 10 feet. This is a condition of approval of a previous
conditional use p~rmit that was never implemented.
Mr. Culp: He thought that the 8 feet of required landscaping was waived with the approval of the sidewalk
waiver.
Commissioner Boydstun: She noted that the waiver was for the sidewalk.
Mr. Culp: They would be willing to comply, but he did not feel that tearing up the concrete for berm
planters made any sense.
Chairman Bristol: He agreed and asked staff if there is any way to make this work or is the applicant
going to be required to comply?
Greg Hastings: Since this is an existing situation, it could probably work if Commission considers this as
being grandfathered in. He suggested that Commission could include a condition stating that staff will re-
evaluate the situation in December of 2000 if this conditional use permit returns for reinstatement.
Commissioner Bostwick: Stated, for the record, he was not present on June 21 st but he did listen to the
tape and was well aware of the testimony given on that date. He suggested leavinc~ the property as it

currently is, but advised the applicant that the conditional use permit will terminate on December 1, 20(~0.
When Mr. Cuip reapplies for reinstatement, Commission wiil determine if Condition No.16 has to be met
and at that tfine he may be required to fnstaU the 10 feet of landscaping.
Melanie Adams: Givan the sho~t time period, they wi!I not oppose to the delekion of Condition No. 4.

Therefore the iliscussion:was compnsed from staff's~notes.
Susan Kim, Assistant Planner: Stated this item was initiated by the City as part of the Anaheim Resort
Neighborhood Action Plan, created in conjunction with the Community Planning Program.
This reclassification pertains to a 0.37-acre property located on the southeast corner of Orangewood
Avenue and Mailul Drive. This property is zoned CG (Commercial, General) and designated for General
Commercial land uses in the General Plan. The subject property is developed with a retail center
consisting of small shops and a restaurant.
The Planning Commission and Ciry Council have implemented a policy of reclassifying CG properties to
the CL (Commercial, Limited) Zone on a c3se-by-case basis. If this parcel were to be redeveloped, the
CL Zone would provide for more appropriate site development standards. In addition, the CL designation
would be compatible with the area north of this property which is part of Anaheim Resort Specific Plan,
the surrounding commercial properties to the east and west which are zoned CL, as well as the residential
properties located south of the subject property. The property owner has been contacted and supports
this action. Therefore, staff recommended that this property be reclassified from the CG Zone to the CL
Zone.

Susan Kim, Associate Planner: This item was initiated through the Anaheim Resort Neighborhood Action
Plan. The reclassification pertains to Ponderosa Park, a 9-acre public park located at the southeast
corner of Orangewood Avenue and Haster Street, that is designated as a Neighborhood Park Site in the
General Plan. The northeast corner of the park is zoned RS-A-43,000, while the remainder is zoned RM-
1200.
Although the RS-A-43,000 Zone is a common zone designation for City park sites, the RM-1200 Zone is a
multiple-family residential zone typically associated with higher density development. In comparison, the
OS (Open Space) Zone is a zone designation intended to protect and preserve public and semi-public
land for recreational/open space use. The Community Services Department has reviewed and is
supportive of this request. Therefore staff recommended that the entire park site be reclassified from the
RS-A-43,000 and RM-1200 Zones to the OS Zone.

Kwang Cook: This particular site is tucked away in a very quiet area. In the past this building had not
been well utilized. The building has been vacant for the past year and a half. The owner was receptive to
a church so the site could be well maintained and well utilized.
Commissioner Bostwick: Asked Mr. Cook if the applicant is renting the property?
Kwang Cook: Responded yes they are renting the site.
Commissioner Bostwick: Asked the City Attorney if a tenant would affects the property tax rolls?
Commissioner Boydstun: It is only a third of the square footage of the building that they are going to use.
The owner is using it for income propsrty because he is renting it. She could not see how the use would
take it off the tax rolls.
Selma Mann, Assistant Ciry Attorney: She would have to look into that if Commission desired

Commissioner Bostwick: He did not think the property tax rolis would be affected because the owner is
paying taxes. If the church purchased the property then they would qualify for an exemption.
Commissioner Boydstun: This is something that Commission may want to have answered for any future
re~auests.
Cummissioner Vanderbilt: He thought regardless of where the praperty is located in Anaheim, it is not
going to affect West Anaheim tax base because West Anaheim tax base i~ not exclusive to West
Anaheim.
Chairman Bristol: Several cities have experienced this because many churches can not afford to
purchase a property and this is an altemative.
Chairman Bristol: Asked Mr. Cook regarding the hours of operation?
Kwang Cook: They are requesting the hours to be as follows:
Wednesdays and Fridays 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Chairman Bristol: The traffic study submitted indic~ted potential hours of operation until 10:00 p.m. and
asked the applicant if they planned to have any music or noise that will impact their neighbors to the east.
Kwang Cook: Mr. Yalda approved their consul:anYs traffic study and found that there was no negative
impact to the residents.
Commissioner Boydstun: She stated he was also concerned with noise that may impact their neighbors
to the east.
Kwang Cook: They are only going to have bible study which will not generate any type of noise. He
reiterated that this is a very small church and congregation.
Chairman Bristol: He recommended including the hours of operation as a condition cf approval.
Cheryl Flores, Senior Planner: When she visiied the s?te on Friday she observed a cross that had been
mounted to the roof over the door. She spoke with the pastor and he indicated it would be removed. It
would not be permitted on the roof, but to mount it on the wall would be permissible, provided it is in
compliance with Condition No. 13 that requires drawings be returned to Commission as a reports and
recommendations item for approval.
Kwang Cook: Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding on the Reverend's part. The cross has been
removed and they will go through the proper conditional use permit process and will work with the City
staff to comply with the Code.
Selma Mann, Assistant City Attorney: She informed Commission that she was not able to obtain the
requested information but would have it available for their next meeting.

CONDITiONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION N0.
SR1062VK.DOC
Chairman Bristol: Stated, for the record, a fax was received from Marcel and Peggy Chollet-Guibert
thanking the applicant for no longer parking on their cul-de-sac.
Applicant's Statement:
Greg Hammill, 414 Fernhill Lane, P,naheim, CA: He is a consultant to Quartz Dealer Direct. Quartz
applied in 1993 for a business license at this address. At that timo the business license was requested for
auto wholesale/leasing and auto auctiun but due to the fact there was no listing for auto auction they did
not include it in the business license.
The business has been auctioning cars for the past 6 years on Mondays and Fridays. There are 35 part-
time and full-time employees. Code Enforcement has visited the site and the Police have come due to the
blocking of traffic on East Street. Quartz was not aware of any parking probiems until March of 1999
when they were cited by Code Enforcement for not having a CUP for their auto auction.
They made arrangements with CHOC Hospital on Lincoln and East to use a portion of their lot to shuttle
the customers back and forth. They have placed posters and handed ~hem out to customers advising
them not to park in the residential area and show them the CHOC parking.
They were surprised to find that staff is recommending denial of CUP because staff never gave them any
indication of denial at IDC (Interdepartmental Committee meeting). Th~• staff report defines the problem
weil but it does not address any solution. Regarding staff s comment about Quartz being detrimental to
the surrounding land uses, this is an ML Industrial Zone, and they are not the only ones who use the
industrial use. It is being used for the type of business that is permitted in the ML Zone. Item iii, the traffic
generated by the proposed use does not impose an undue burden upon the streets. Ninety percent of the
cars that come into the facility to be sold are driven in one at a time, only 10% are foaded off of a transpor~
vehicle. The problem is customer parking, it is not that there is an auction, or that it is loud or bothering
the neigh~ors or industrial uses, it bothers neighbors because their clients are parking on the streets.
There are four solutions to the problem,1 - close the business, 2- relocate which takes time, 3-
downsize, which also takes time and 4- provide a shuttle service which eliminates congestion. A benefit
of using CHOC is it provides carpooling and eliminates traffic on East Street.

• Condition No.1, they would like to request more than one year.
• Condition No. 2, the chain link fence. It does need to be repafred but there is no need to install slats
because no one can see in unless they drive down the ailey.
• Item 3, screening the storage area. This is not necessary because no one drives down there except
those in the Industrial Zone.
Commissioner Boydstun: Asked if he was referring to the fence on the north side of property which is
chain link all the way down and if so, that is the part that needs to be siatted.
Cheryl Flores: Code requires that all storage areas be screened.
Greg Hammill: Indicated they can screen it. On Condition No.10, he requested a maximum of 3'/z to 4
hours for the automotive auctions. All the rest of the conditions were acceptable to owner. They felt their
business should not be punished simply because it has grown, but rather to try to find solutions. There
needs to be a solution found regarding the parking problem.
Sam Governale, 725 Whitewing Lane, Walnut, CA: The loading and unloading trucks takes place about
six t;mes a week. If there is an influx, they unload at an auxiliary lot on Anaheim Blvd. then drive vehicles
in. As soon as they were made aware that that they were infringing on the parking of their neighbors, they
took every effort to alleviate it which he believes they have. They are willing to make chanc~es to the
visibility of the vehicles.
Opposition:
Marilyn Helm, 700 S. East Street, Anaheim, CA: Stated she lives directly across the Quartz dr~veway. In
the last 2 years the problems have escalated. They have eliminated some but do off load aut in the street
and when they park in the middle of the street she can not get in and out of her driveway. When they first
started they were able to get all the vehicles inside the lot, but now there is chaos. It is not noise, it's
saTety. They have tried to address the problem by having someone stand in the street and sending them
somewhere else, but vehicles stii; come in and park on South Street to the railroad tracks, in the cul-de-
sac and at the gas station. She felfi they are in a location that is too small for their needs.
James Chambless: 1219 East Diana, Anaheim, CA: She lives at the corner of Diana and Dawn less than
300 feet from site. Residents are conscantly faced with potential hazard. This business has grown
tremendously and there is no room for a~rs to park and it has become unsafe. It is a good business, but it
has outgrown its locat;on. Residents strcngly support staff's recommendation to deny waiver and she feit
Commission should take steps to see tha~ they find a larger location or revoke their permit.
Claire Chambless, 1219 East Diana, Anaheim, CA: Some neighbors were not able to make the meeting.
Page 4 of staff report, item 26 (ii), states the main problem very well. She is pleased that they are
successful but they need to relocate to a larger site.
Bernard Gotieib, 1237 East Crestbook Place, Anal~eim, CA: Has been living at his home for 38 years.
The applicant has made an improvement on pa~king but only after the street was fully loaded. East Street
is not industrial as they stated, it is residential from Ball Road to the 91 Freeway on the east side which is
under construction until March of 2000 which has resulted in being very congested. Rarking is not fully
alleviated and cars are washed on the lot without adequate drains. The parking situation is much better
and they are good neighbors, but they are too big for the site.

ApplicanYs Rebuttal:
Sam Govenale: They do not want to move because it took a lot to get the business established. There
was a time when they really did overflow into the residential neighborhood but they are taking steps and
have done a good job with it.
Greg Hammill: You can not stop people from driving badly, but they can plan by ciosing the front end of
the establishment so that vehicles can not park across the driveway or cause problems. They need to
find a solution until they find more space. This business provides a necessary function in the City.
Sam Govenale: They are not in the retail business, they are a wholesale auto auction. The only retail
done is to those neighbors d'crectly :n the area to give them a break on buying a car at a cheaper price.
Regarding drainage, there is no more that trickling water from the front driveway, no more than would be
from someone watering their lawn because their drainage is set up to go out into the back alley.
Sidney Bickel, owner of the property: Stated that an applicant for a bus company for this property was
also denied 6 years ago. If this is turned down and occupants are forced to move, she will have a difficult
time replacing the tenant.
Alfred Yalda: Rsked where the 35 employees park and where do their customers that come to the auction
park7 It appears that they are impacting the neighborhood.
Sam Govenale: Emaloyees park on the inside perimeters or outside parking lot on Tuesdays through
Fridays. On Mondays employee vehicles are taken to CHOC parking lot, along with 90% of the
customers which are then shuttled. On Fridays all visitors are parked withi~ perimeters. Vehicles used to
be parked bumper to bumper but that is no longer done due to shuttie use. On average there are 90 to
100 dealers that participate on Mondays.
Commissioner Boydstun: Suggested mailing a notices to all dealers advising them of where !he parking
is located, about the shuttle service, and not to park in the East Street neighborhood.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Chairman Bristol: Asked the applicant what kind of maintenance was done on the site and what time the
auciions are held?
Sam Goven~le: Vehicles are washed for auction days. Auctions are held at 4:30 p.m. on Monday and it
is aver between 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. On Fridays it is 10:30 to 1:00.
Melanie Adams, Associate Civil Engineer: Asked applicant to describe the washing operatior.
Sam Govenale: Water drains through the back alley, and cars are washed in their spots with buckets and
rags using only water.
Melanie Adams: Requested a condition be added regarding washing operation in case they want to use
soap or degreasing in the future so that it does not cause a probl~m in the storm drain system.
Commissioner Vanderbilt: Asked if an a~proval was needed for a washing situation like this?
Melanie Adams: An application for Water Quality Management Plan should be review by Public Works,
for conformance with the Municipal Code and with cooperation with the rest of the Cities and agencies in
City uf Anaheim Planning Commission

tiie County on a Drainage Area Management Pian. The City is obligated to comply with those
requfrements.
Commissioner Bostwick: Asked Ms. Adams about all of the other large car dealers in the City that wash
their vehicles?
Melanie Adams: If they are only using water it is not a problem but if they are using soap or degreasers it
would pose a problem.
Sam Govenale: They are ~nly ~sing water, most cars are only on the premises for a day or two before
the auction. Most cars arrive from the dealers fairly clean and ready to sell. Dealers are presenting the
vehiclss ready to sell. If it needs to be completely detailed it goes to Supershine down the alley.
Chairman Bristoi: Asked if he had a reciprocal parking agreement with CHOC on Lincoln? He asked if
those who go to the auction wouid not be driving to their site but instead will go right to CHOC?
Sam Govenale: It is not a lease, it is indefinite on a month-to-month basis. It is arobably safe to say that
on Monday, buyers park at the CHOC parking lot.
Chairman Bristol: Advised he was at the site recently and there were 19 cars in front, tandem parking.
He spoke to someone by the n~me of Joe and he indicated the 2 cars in front were employees, the rest
were auction vehicles.
Commissioner Boydstu~i: She was also at the site ~nd Joe told her they were shifting cars around to get
them in the right order for the auction. She was there for a while watching them and that appeared to be
what they were doing.
Sam Govenale: The cars should not have been there overnight and that is what they were doing with the
cars out front. '
Alfred Yalda, Principal Transportation Planner: They recommended this item be continued until the
petitioner provides a comprehensive traffic study including a parking study showing where all employees
park. They should not be parking on an off site facility. If they are it should be a recorded agreement with
all other facilities. If that off site has extra parking and if it exceeds the municipal code, they have to have
a recorded reciprucal agreement.
Chairman Bristol: He suggested that the applicant prove that the parking is not impacting the residents.
Commissioner Bostwick: Advised the a~plicant needs to have a signed agreement with CHOC that meets
City requirements of executing a reciprocal agreement. They also need to have a plan in place to chain
off the driveway to parking out front on Friday's and Monday's from noon to 7 p.m. He afso suggested
giving a couple of years on the CUP and in the meantime try to find a larger space in a different location,
Redevelopment can help with that.
Chairman Bristol: The fact that there are people there directing traffic and it is a residential area
Alfred Yalda: The only people who are supposed to direct traffic are people who work for Police
Department, no one else should be directing traffic on any City public street.
Ssm Govenale: They will work with the dealers to direct and train them to get them used to the
procedure. He clarified that they were not directing traffic, they merely had had employees on the str~ets

asking customers not to park on the residential streets but instead use the CHOC parking lot and use the
shuttle service. ~
Advised that East Street is really tom up now and is down to one lane in either direction. It fs supposed ta
be that way for several months.
Alfred Yaida: That may not be an impact, the purpose of the study is to determine how many people are
coming to the site, what are the needs and where are the people going. !t has minimai impact on East
Street because the concentration on study would be on the site and the satellite site.
Cheryi Flore~;~ Advised they also need clarification becausa it was advertised to be a retail and wholesale
a~ ~~i~on, those studies shouid address how much of the business is related to retail and how much to
wholesale.
Sam Govenale: None, it is strictly a wholesale auto auction, dealers only.
Commissioner Bostwick: The applicant mentioned that he was selling retail to the neighborhood.
Sam Gavenale: They sometimes offer to buy them a vehicle through the auction. They do not advertise
this, neighbors walk on the premises and usually talk to Joe who takes care of them.

Boydstun and motion was carried.

ApplicanPs Statement:
Tim 0'Neil, agent from Evergreen Devco: Thanked staff for their responsiveness and support and feels it
is a good presentation.
Carl Heimberger, 2125 East Lincoln, AnahEim, CA: He is supportive because it is good for the
neighborhood, however the project is underparked by 6 cars. If 840 square feet of the building is
removed, it would allow for 3 more parking spaces and it would drop the car count by three which would
solve the problem.
Mila Beckman, 2112 War~ Terrace, Anaheim, CA: Walgreens will be right next to her house. Tim 0'Neil
offered her a 6-foot wall to separate her property from Walgreens but she is still concerned about the
lighting due to the wall. She is also concerned about the 24-hour operation, where and when the
City of Anaheim Pianning Commission

merchandise is going to be dropped off. She also questioned whether or not there will be access from
Center Street. (Chairman Bristol advised access will only be on SYate College and Llncoln.] One of the
residents is running a business so there are a lot of cars parked on Alana way. Oue to cars being parked
on Alana Way, they can not see cars coming from either direction so she asked for a red curb in order to
be able to see out.
Commissioner Boydstun: Advised that they never approved any business in that residential area.
Don Yourstone, Senior Code Enforcement Officer: Advised Commission that legal action against that
residentiai home is already in progress and should be disposed of within the next 30 days. They are also
looking into other parking requirements on other businesses in the area.
Chairman Bristol: Asked Mrs. Beckman what side of Ward she was on and was she aware that the plans
indicate an alley and was she concerned about lighting in the ~Iley or lighting in genera~?
Mrs. Beckman: Advised that there is a re-routed alley that will go right by her house. She is concerned
about the lighting of the alley in general. Her house and her neighbor's are the only two residential
houses left. There are a lot of transients in the alley and she needs lighting.
Commissioner Boydstun: Suggested she call Code Enforcement because the garages are on the alley
and Code Enforcement has dawn to dusk lights that can be mounted on their garages.
Mrs. Beckman: Advised she is aware but an electrician must install and asked if the City could install a
light there?
Commissioner Boydstun: Responded no, but the City would provide the lights.
Commissioner Vanderbilt: Suggested the applicant consider working with Ms. Beckman on that
Commissioner Bostwick: Advised that there will be lights on the alley side of Walgreens.
Cheryl Flores, Senior Planner: Corrected paragraph 2(b), property is actually located 20 feet east of the
center line of Cenpla Way rather than State College Blvd. In the chart shown in paragraph 4, parcel
2/2015-2025 East Lincoln are zoned CL, RS-7200 needs to be deleted. Paragraph 7 the correct General
Plan designation that they are requesting to change this to is General Commercial and not Commercial
Professional as shown in the staff report.
Tim O'Neil: They are willing to h~lp assist the lighting in the alley even on her property. The building has
been designed to have lightinc~ all the way around the back to light landscape area that serves as a buffer
between the neighborhood. l'he plan is to operate the drive through and entry to building 24 hours but
access only on intersection side. They can increase wall size from 6 to 8 feet if wanted. They are willing
to look at new ways or recommendations to get the 3 extra spaces.
Commissioner Napoles: Asked what hours the merchandise will be delivered?
Tim 0'Neil: Delivery is on east side of building, screened by 8 foot wall and delivery time can be based on
City's request.
Melanie Adams, Associate Civil Engineer: Recommended three conditions be added. The site is
comprised of several small parcels of land and they would like to see them merged together into one
before the reclassification goes forward. In the event that Walgreens is not able to go forward, site will not
be left with little commerciai properties. Add condition that a lot line adjustment shall be submitted to the
City of Anaheim Planning Commission
Summary Action Agenda
07-19-99
Page 27
Public Works Department, Development Services Division to merge the existing parcels into one lot. The
lot line adjustment shall be approved by the City Engineer and recorded in the O~ce of the Orange
County Recorder prior to finalization of this reclassification " Regarding the ailey, the process of it being
realigned fs calied abandonment approved by the City Councii. In the event that the City Council does not
approve the realigned alley, it will have a big effect on the reclassification, particularly on the property on
the north side of the existing alley and on the east side of the existing ailey. "The approval of this
reclassification is subject to approval of abandonment no. 99-15 by the City Council to abandon existing
public alley and to dedicate and reaiign the alley". They will need to have vehicular access rights
ded(cated to the City so that no time in the future can any commercial developer drive into the residential
area. Add a condition that "Legal property owner shall release and relinquish to the City of An~heim
vehicular access rights to Simplar Way and Ward Terrace prior :o finalization of this reclassification".
Tim 0'Neil: Anticipated and agrees with the first two recommended conditions, but did not understand the
third and asked for a clarification.
Melanie Adams: It would be for business access that if anyone wanted to continue to travel through the
new public alley, they could do so, but there would not be access to the commercial property to or from
the streets.
Tim 0'Neil: He was definitely in agreement
Cheryl Flores: Pointed out that procedure for the administrative adjustment for the waiver of spaces is
such that if there is opposition to that, there would have to be a public hearing for a variance of parking.
An Administrative Adjustment is aovertised and if there is even one person in opposition to it then it will
have to be scheduled for a public hearing as a new parking variance.
