STAFF INPUT:
See staff report dated October 1, 1990 from the Zoning Administrator
recommending an amendment (not deletion) to Condition No. 15 relating to
signage.
Mayor Hunter asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent; no one was
present.
Councilman Pickler asked staff if they had any problem with the
petitioner's request; Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator,
answered that the recommendation from staff, rather than
deleting the Condition, is that it be modified as outlined in
her report. The petitioner is proposing a 14 foot high sign.
The recommendation is that it be retained as a monument type
sign but that it be 8 feet and not 4 feet as imposed in
Condition 15. An 8 foot monument sign is consistent with
recent actions relating to such signs.
Mayor Hunter asked if anyone was present who wished to speak either in favor or
in opposition; there being no response, he closed the public hearing.

Pickler, seconded by Councilman Ehrle, the City Council determined that the

PLANNING STAFF INPUT:
See staff report to the Planning Commission dated August 27, 1990.
City Clerk Sohl announced that letter dated October 9, 1990 had been received
from Ariel L. Vallie, Jordan-Valli Architects requesting a continuance to
October 23, 1990 which was submitted to the Council. Since a Council quorum is
not anticipated on that date or on October 30, 1990, the next available Council
meeting date will be November 6, 1990.
Mayor Hunter asked if anyone was present opposed to a continuance of the
subject until November 6, 1990; there was no response.
MOTION: Councilman Hunter moved to continue the subject public hearing to
Tuesday, November 6, 1990. Councilman Ehrle seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Daly noted that staff
recommendation is to deny the request and the developer is
asking for a continuance. He asked to hear from staff relative
to the request for continuance and if granted, would it
accomplish something or not.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development.
Staff spoke with the applicant and the applicant's request for
continuance was at staff's suggestion. It was recommended that
they meet with the developer in order for staff to explain
their concerns with the project since it is within the Plaza
Project area. Mrs. Stipkovich recommended that the continuance
be granted.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion to continue the public hearing to
November 6, 1990. MOTION CARRIED.

APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
Jim Wong, 635 Carroll Way, Pasadena. He is requesting approval
of the Conditional Use Permit to permit the interior partition
of the retail spaces. If the permit is not granted, he will be
restricted to only one tenant who may not have the financial
strength to utilize such a large space. The area is 6,500
square feet. He is proposing 3 units. He is one of the owners
of the shopping center. It is owned by 5 individual owners and
he is one of them.
Councilman Pickler. He is interested in seeing a general
cleanup of the center.
Mr. Wong. He has complied with all conditions of Variance
No. 3660 which pertains to the whole property. (Variance
No. 3660 was approved by the Planning Commission on May 27,
1987, which allowed the construction of a 6,506 square foot
addition to the shopping center.)
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator. She confirmed that
Variance No. 3660 was approved which involved the entire
property.
City Attorney White. With regard to the application the
Council was considering this evening, any conditions imposed
should relate only to the property Mr. Wong owns and not the
other parcels. With regard to the previously approved permit,
staff can take a look to determine what those conditions are.
Like any other Conditional Use Permit, if there is a need for
the public health, safety and general welfare to impose
additional conditions, they may be able to take a look at the
entire center through that means. However, tonight only the
conditions that pertain to Mr. Wong's portion of the property
are to be considered.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. There was discussion about
enhancement at the time and the owners did make some
improvements or cleanup to the center. Staff will re-review
the matter and make sure there is compliance.

204
City Hallr Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 9r 1990, 5:30 P.M.
Councilman Daly. He has a concern as he expressed previously.
As the staff report indicates, there are already several
separate parcels on the property. If this were a new project,
it would probably be turned down to discourage that many
parcels on the site. It will make it difficult in the long run
to obtain a better looking shopping center along a major street
in the City. The City will be "stuck" with the way the
property looks for a long time. The parcel the developer owns
has an unusual shape. There is the Baskin-Robbins site a
couple of parcels over and not much that can be done with that
site because it is small. He has talked to staff at length to
come up with some ideas. About once a month they are faced
with an adjustment being made to a 1950s-1960s shopping center,
adjustments that would not be allowed with a new center.
People who live around these centers are perplexed and
disappointed that the centers are declining. He sees this as a
move that benefits the property owner but does not do much for
the City. He feels the City has a right to regulate these
centers because they are so large and generate a great deal of
traffic. Portions of the subject center are an eyesore and he
is not sure that there is a condition(s) they could impose that
would help. He would like to hear staff's thoughts regarding
shopping centers the age of the subject center which is perhaps
35 years old.
Joel Fick, Planning Director. What staff has done because of
Planning Commission, City Council and staff interest in the
issue, any time any subdivision is proposed in recent months,
staff has been recommending to the City Engineer when the
parcel map has come forward that there be integrated conditions
for architectural integrity, landscaping maintenance and other
CC&Rs relating to parking and other attributes to make certain
it is an integrated center. On some of the older centers it is
more difficult unless they are asking the City for some type of
entitlement or change in land use. The only avenue is to
insure compliance with existing standards. One avenue they
have not undertaken but which would be an option to consider is
tO have the Code Enforcement staff review the centers on key
arterials making sure the landscaping is properly maintained,
hose bibs and sprinkler heads installed properly, etc. so that
=he landscaping is properly maintained. Landscaping and
signage are the most visible aspects of the centers constructed
in that era.
Jim Wong. The building is already completed. They have
completely paved the parking lot and restriped the stalls
according to code which was approved by the Traffic Engineer.
They have met all the 18 conditions imposed previously under
Variance No. 3660. He just received the final approval from
the Zoning Division on the property and is trying to get the
final on the fire sprinkler system on the building. That is
the only thing holding up the building.
