CONTROL DISTRICT'S IMPROVEMENT OF THE PLACENTIA AND RAYMOND RETARDING BASINS
ARE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM.
Gary Johnson, Director of Public Works/City Engineer first answered questions
posed by Councilman Daly, explaining that the intent of the County is to
excavate the retarding basin to enhance or expand its capacity and to remove
silt that has built up over the years.
Councilman Daly. This is a large retarding basin and it was landscaped
perhaps 25 Years ago or more. Located at the corner of East St. and La Palma,
it is an eyesore. He feels that a facility this large and this important to
the County warrants the City asking the County to spend some extra money to
improve the looks of that basin. People live on at least two sides of the
basin which will be in the City a very long time. He is requesting that
Council direct staff to ask the County to spend some funds to improve the
landscaping particularly at the aforementioned corner.
Gary Johnson. He feels it is a good idea and will ask the County to consider
the suggestion by Councilman Daly.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES December 12, 1989, 5:30 p.m
APPLICANT'S
STATEMENT:
John Anderson, Planner, Van Dorp, Chou Consulting Engineers,
295 Rampart Street, Orange. They are appealing Condition No.
11 of Planning Commission Resolution PC89-278 which approved
Conditional Use Permit No. 3217 which would require the
developer to provide for the design and construction of a
median island along Harbor Boulevard from Convention Way to
Orangewood Avenue as required by the City Engineer. (See
sketch submitted showing the proposed median running from
Convention Way to Orangewood Avenue on Harbor Boulevard.)
This measure would constrain access to the property and the
costs were also considerable which did not seem equitable. As
noted from the sketch submitted, the median would preclude any
northbound vehicles from turning left onto the hotel site. It
would require either a left hand turn at Orangewood Avenue, or
continuing north, a "U turn" at Convention Way, some 800 feet
to the north of their property line. This would impose a
special constraint to northbound visitors, especially new
arrivals needing to access the hotel for registration purposes
or for restaurant patrons. In their opinion, the required
median would also constrain other properties along its length
including existing and proposed motels/hotels, the Greyhound
Bus Depot and the southerly portion of the Fugishige property.
With respect to cost equity, the condition requires the
developer must provide not only the 390 feet along the hotel
site frontage at an estimated cost of $51,000 but also would
require continuation of the median at an additional $149,000
cost for a total cost of $200,000. There is no mention made in
this condition or any other of reimbursement. The City Traffic
Engineer indicated that subsequent development along the median
would be subject to conditions including provision for
reimbursement to the developer. Only one or two parcels are
foreseen to be developing in the future. They are requesting
deletion of condition no. 11 or an amendment for the developer
to contribute only a fair share portion based on the percentage
of frontage on that portion of the west side of Harbor
Boulevard.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer. The condition is vital. The
project is a massive hotel and will have significant impact on
the adjacent roadway. If the median island is not constructed,
innumerable left turns will be caused by the hotel. In no way
does this median preclude access at the intersection of
Convention Way and Harbor Boulevard for the Fugishige
property. That was not a correct statement. The initial
comment and response to the EIR states on page 57, "that the
developer shall provide for the construction of a median island
in Harbor Boulevard from Convention Way to Orangewood Avenue"
It came from his office as a result of the impact of
1128
Cftv Hall. Anaheim. California - COUNCIL MINUTES December 12, 1989, 5:30 p.m
environmental review dated October 12, 1989. As a consequence,
it was made a condition of the development. Harbor Boulevard
at this time has a solid median from Katella to the freeway
with only one opening at Freedman Way which is signalized and
one limited left turn access into the Disneyland employee
entrance. The same treatment should continue with a landscaped
median for reasons of traffic and traffic safety and the
enhancement of the area. If the median is cut off short, there
will be mid block left "U" turns.
Relative to reimbursement, there is a possibility that
additional development will take place. At that time, it
should be conditioned upon the adjacent property owner to pay
their fair share portion of the median that could be reimbursed
to the applicant. Usually they try not to have formal
reimbursement agreements because of the considerable
bookkeeping problem. Staff will keep this in mind so that when
the next development comes in, they will be conditioned to pay
for their portion and at that time the applicant may be
reimbursed for those funds collected for the median. It would
be equitable - it does not necessarily have to be formalized.
The major impact on that street will be as a result of the
proposed hotel.
John Anderson. Two points of clarification - they recognize
that Mr. Singer commented on the need for the median but they
went on to clarify it was material that came to them after the
draft EIR in the form of IDC comments which they included in
the EIR. Relative to the Fugishige property, it may preclude
or constrain access to the southerly portion but not any
access. Relative to condition 9, they're going on a percentage
basis for other improvements in that area and if it were found
necessary to provide for the median, something more equitable
in that fashion could be worked out.
Mr. Dan Van Dorp, 295 Rampart Street, Orange. They feel it
would be equitable to deduct the added cost of the median
island from their fair share of total traffic improvements that
they would eventually be paying. Condition 9 raquira~ them to
pay a portion of other improvements to other intersections. If
the median needs to be built before the property is developed,
the cost of that should be deducted from the total
amount they would pay including their fair share of the other
developments.
Paul Singer. There is also another statement that has to be
added to the conditions as presently formulated. The EIR
refers to the intersection of Chapman Avenue and Harbor
Boulevard. The developer is required by the EIR document to
mitigate traffic at that intersection by providing dual left
turns for north-south traffic and to pay their fair share for
1129
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 12, 1989, 5:30 p.m
the dual left turns for the east-west traffic. That portion
was inadvertently left out but is shown in the EIR for the
developer to pay his fair share. That condition needs to be
amended to include the fair share of the east-west dual left
turns (condition 11).
Mary McCloskey, Planning Division Manager. That condition was
addressed by the Planning Commission but inadvertently left out
of the Resolutions the Council received.
Mr. Van Dorp. They are aware of that. They are paying the
total cost of the north-south left turn lanes and the total
cost of the additional widening of Harbor Boulevard and the
additional dedication of 12 feet. They feel that they should
only have to pay their fair share of the median island. Ail
the initial improvements are in. The property was previously
developed. The developer paid for the initial improvements.
They are upgrading. He clarified he believes their fair share
is the portion of the median fronting their property.
Councilman Daly. Relative to the reimbursement issue, the
developer is going to be paying the full cost of some
intersection improvements. He asked if he will be reimbursed
for those as well.
Mr. Singer answered no. Those are direct impacts by the hotel
on those intersections full cost of north-south dual left
turn lanes and a percentage of east-west improvements.
Kenneth Blye, 2049 Century Park East, Attorney representing the
owner of the Anaheim Hotel Complex. After listening to
comments of Staff and City Council and now that they understand
the policy is reimbursement, they are willing to withdraw the
appeal of the condition. Reimbursement is an equitable way of
handling the matter.
Gregory Hile, P. O. Box 380, Running Springs, Attorney
representing Dr. and Mrs. Shah, owners of Captain Quarters
Motel directly to the south of the proposed project. He has
been present before concerning the subject property. Th~r~ ar~
many items in the record previously with regard to the original
zone change, Reclassification 87-88-09, waiver of Code
requirements and CUP 2943 originally approved by the Council
in October 1987 and amended on September 12, 1989. He
incorporates the record of those hearings by reference and also
other testimony at the Planning Commission, letters submitted,
comments, the draft EIR, etc.
They do not feel there is any basis for any special
circumstances that would justify a variance, Code waivers or a
zone change. There are impacts on Dr. Shah's property and
other properties in the area that specifically say the City
1130
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 12, 1989, 5:30 p.m
cannot adopt a Variance or a CUP. He also has concerns with
regard to the EIR prepared. Traffic impacts have been
enumerated. The traffic study prepared does not match the
project description. The project before the Council and
discussed in the EIR is for a 750 room hotel and the traffic
study also refers to not 750 but a 700 room hotel, rendering
the traffic study fatally defective. He urged the Council to
deny the project, deny the certification of the EIR and redo
the traffic study. In general, traffic assumptions are also
faulty aside from the fact 'that there is inaccurate project
description. There is also an inadequate discussion of
alternatives and Statement of Overriding Considerations. One
alternative not considered was dealing with the property as it
is now. It is an abandoned supermarket and he suggested it be
utilized in that fashion or some other type of shopping center
again. Relative to the creation of new jobs and new revenue,
no alternatives to the project were considered that would also
generate new jobs and new revenue but which would have far less
impacts. The impacts from the project are many - traffic,
noise, parking, etc. that would have an impact on everyone
around the neighborhood and people coming into that area.
Dr. J. A. Shah, property owner at 620 West Orangewood, owner,
Captains Corners. He first referred to his letter dated
December 7, 1989, previously submitted to the Council and made
a part of the record, listing his concerns and objections to
the project. His main problems are relative to the setback,
the number of rooms proposed, parking spaces, traffic impact,
parking and noise. It is the only junction that will be
"messed up" if the Council does not treat the area properly now.
Keith Greis, 713 Lamark, the house directly west of the
project. He has lived there for 32 years and the residents are
getting boxed in. His concern deals with the tennis courts
proposed on top of the parking structure which would cause
considerable lighting in the back yards of the residents
adjacent to it as well as noise. Having experienced all the
other phases of the project, they know there is dust and
noise. The residents would hope that noise and dust from the
construction of the project will be controlled as much as
possible and also the construction working hours. They would
also like to know a start date and a completion date.
John Anderson. He explained/countered the opposition expressed
by Mr. Hile and Dr. Shah. They have received approval of two
waivers - one was required parking and the other the 8 foot
wall. Their traffic engineer performed a separate study based
on 750 rooms and it is in the appendix of the final EIR.
Relative to the 8 foot wall, it was not their wish to provide
an 8 foot wall but they anticipated that either the Planning
Commission or the Council would request it so they did so on
that basis. They are requesting no setback waiver. They have
1131
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - December 12, 1989, 5:30 p.m
also provided an attractive 20 foot landscaped area adjacent to
the right of way line. He then explained their process
relative to the alternative sites proposed and the rationale
for the subject site being determined to be the best for their
project.
Relative to the setback, he reiterated it is in conformance
with City Code, he cannot respond relative to Dr. Shah's
concern of too many rooms in Anaheim. The parking study and
the City Traffic Engineer confirm that parking is in keeping
with professional practice. Relative to the noise, a noise
study was done and Mr. Shah's property was singled out to be
included in the study. The single consolidated approach was
used and it actually reduced the noise on all properties.
Relative to Mr. Greis's concern about being boxed in, there is
a residential pocket within the Convention Center Super Block.
The concern relative to the tennis courts was recognized in the
noise study. In addition to the tennis type screening, a 6
foot parapet wall is to be erected on the south and west sides
of the parking structure to further mitigate noise. It has
been included in the mitigation measures both in the appendix
and the study itself. One of the mitigation measures will be
hours of operation in terms of the tennis courts. They have
also indicated a number of mitigations to reduce noise and dust
and the limitation of working hours during the construction
period.
Kenneth Blye. The only issue before the Council is the CUP.
It is up for de novo review. The EIR was not appealed and it
is not an issue.
City Attorney White. He disagreed. The Council is now the
decision maker on the project. Once the underlying
discretionary permit is appealed, under CEQA law, the Council
has to r~certify the EIR before approving the project.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Mayor Hunter closed the public hearing
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer. Answering Councilwoman Kaywood
he explained that relative to the parking, the waiver is very
small and the main reason why it is justified, it is a rather
large hotel as opposed to the same type of percentage waiver
for a smaller hotel which would have a greater impact. He does
not believe they will ever have a problem with parking. The
parking is adequate. If there was ever a problem they would
have to do something about it because the operation of the
hotel would become impractical since there is no other place to
park. He reiterated that he did not feel parking was going to
be a problem.
1132
City Hall. Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES December 12, 1989, 5;30 p.m
Councilman Daly. This will be the tallest hotel in Anaheim and
will be quite a landmark. He wanted to know who was going to
operate the hotel, whose name would be on it, whether the hotel
designer/architect has done a major hotel before and their
track record.
John Craddock, Senior Vice 'President of Development, Raddison
Hotel Corporation, Division of Carlson Companies, a $6 billion
travel conglomerate, the largest in the western hemisphere.
The name on the hotel as it stands today will be a Colony
Resort. Colony is a sister company which currently, as of last
Thursday, operates all of the Raddison Resort hotels in the
U.S. It is a fully and wholly owned company by Carlson as is
Raddison. It is intended to be the flagship hotel for their
corporation for the system in the U.S. They intend to make it
one of the finest hotels they have in the U.S. They will be
the operators of the hotel and have a signed management
contract for 20 years. They are also overseeing all of the
design, standards of construction and standards of equipping.
The developer currently has four hotels under construction in
San Diego. They believe as a corporation the developer is
adequately competent by proven track record to develop this
type of project successfully. The builder is the same in all
cases. There are very few hotels of this size in the United
States. The architect has designed a hotel which is
approximately half this size and is within a month or two of
completion. Outside construction specialists that have
reviewed the project say that the construction standards are
some of the finest they have ever seen. The basic design is
simplistic.
Councilman Daly. His concern, because it will be the tallest
building in Anaheim and the tallest near Disneyland, and
because the city is so committed to their beautification effort
in the Disneyland area, that this be an extra attractive
building.
