A RESULUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMiSSION OF THE CIiY OF ANAHEIM ADOPTING
AND RECOMMENDlNG TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY QF ANAHEIM THE ADOP716N
OF AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 18, CHAPTER 18,18, R-E, RESIDENTl~L ESTAT~S
ZONE TO THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE TH[RETO
WHEREAS, the City Council on February 20, ig73 directed the itaff to explore the possi-•
bility of amendtng requirements of the R-E, RESIDENTIAL ESTATES ZONE regarding animal density
and housemoving regulations in response to a letter from the secretary of the Peralta Hitls
Improvement Association (P.H.I,A,) expressing c~ncerns and suggestions toward strengthc~ning
two areas of regulation; and
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commisston did I~oid a public hearing at the City Hall in the
City of Anaheim on August 6 and September 5, 1973~ at ~:00 o'clock, P,M, notice o~~ sald p~:.~>>ic
hearing having been duly given as required by law and in accordance with the provisio.ns o~ the
Anaheim Municipal Code, to hear and consjder evidence for and against said proposed code
amendment ar,d to investigate and make findings and recortmendations in connection therewith;
and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation, and study made by it.self
and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at s3ta
hearing, does find and determtne the following facts:
1. That staff recommended that Code be amended to define properties as lots ra~:her tha~
permitting uses by acre.
2. That the City Attorney recommended that the relationship of the number of animals ~e
equated to the use of the land rather than the number of people occupying the premises as
suggested by the P.H.I.A.,therefore, staff recommended that the maximum of 4 adult equine
animals and their immature offspring be permitted per lot except that on lots of two or
mote acres in area, 6 adult animals and their imnature offspring be permitted.
3. That staff recommended that the maximum number of cattle, sheep, or goats be limited
to two animals artd their imnature offspring per lot except that lots four or more acres in
area, one addttional animal per 21,000 square feet of lot area be permitted, not to exceed
~a maximum of 10 antmals on any one lot.
4. That staff, in consEdering the boarding of animals recommends that the primary and
accessory uses oe ctarified so that animal maintenance may only be permitted where it is to
be in conjunction with a permitted primary use or those i:ses permitted under the General or
Sign SectEons of the Code, and that since Code currently specifies that the keeping of animals
is only for domestic, non-cortmercial u.t this would essentially prohibit commercial boarding
of antmals.
5. That staf` further recommended adoption of a new Section 18.18,021(10)(d) "Excepttons
to Regulations," to permit greater numbers df animals than that set forth previously when in
conJunction with an approved animal husbandry pr6Jact sponsored by any bonafide educational
arganization such as 4-H and F.F.A and to permit this increase for a period not to exceed
six months, subJect to approval of an An(mal Exemption Permit; however, P.H.I.A, suggest
that the time limit be extended to eight (8) months si~ce some projects require a lor.ger
period.
6. That although P,I,H.A, suggested that no move-on houses be permitted 1n th> R-E 2o~e
without exceptio_n,the :ity Attorney advised it would be discriminatory to prevent house
move-ons in one zone wnile permitting them in other single-family residential zones. Further-
more, move-ons were presently controlled under Chapter 15.32 Wherein a public hearing was re-
quired by Cfie City Council wTth specific findings which the Council must determl~e were
applicable to the move-on requesY.
7. That amendments to T(tle 18, Chapter 18.18, R-E, RESIDENTIAL ESTATES, ZONE as recom-
mended by staff were considered favorably and should be adopted,
NOW, "fHEREFORE, BE IT 0.ESOLVED that the AnaheTm City Planning Comnission does hereby
adopt and recommend to the ;.ity Council the adoptian of amendments to the AnaFeim Municipal
Code, Title 18, Chapter 18.18, F.-E, RESIDEN7IAL ESTATE ZONE as depicted on Exhibit "A" attaehed
hereto and referred to as though set forth in full.
