102
City Ha11~ gnaheim~ California - COUNCIL HINUTES -May 8~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
She noted that at the Joint work session with the Planning Commission and
Senior Citizen Commission the age established for a senior was 62 or over but
even more important was the fact that the unit was only 304 square feet and
intended for two people. She wanted to know if %here was any discussion on
the adults being family members or strictly a rental unit.
Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, stated that there may have
been discussion about a family unit, but they never discussed making that a
specific requirement under the granny units and the age of 60 was indicated on
the application when processed. The Planning Commission had heard the matter
before the age of 62 was discussed seriously. She confirmed that the
neighbors within 300 feet were notified and were aware of the application.
A review of the Planning Commission's decision was thereupon requested by
Counctlwoman Kaywood on Conditional Use Permit No. 2552.
17. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2558: Submitted by James Kenneth and Marion
Evelyn Dempster, to construct a second-family (granny) unit on RS-7200 zoned
property located at 2121 Nyon Place, with Code waiver of minimum rear yard
setback.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC84-68, granted
Conditional Use Permit No. 2558, and granted a negative declaration status.
Councilwoman Kaywood noted on Page 2 of the Planning Commission resolution,
Item I~ it stated, '...due to the change in use and/or occupancy of the
building,..." since this was a new construction, that paragraph was not
appropriate and thus should be removed and the subsequent paragraph
renumbered. She also expressed her concern over this application as well,
although the unit was 608 square feet. If it was not going to be for a family
member, she wanted to know if they were prohibited by law from requiring that
it be a family member.
Hiss Santalahti answered that was not a point they had discussed before.
Several years ago the City had received miscellaneous applications for family
members. To some extent, the concern was if property owners performed
construction they would then have a unit that might not be available when and
if the person died. The State Law did not make any reference to this issue.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated they were talking about 7,200 square foot lots and
single family residences. If they allowed one, how could they deny others and
if others on the street decided they needed extra income, she was concerned
over what would happen to the infrastructure and the parking situation.
A review of the Planning Commission's decision was thereupon requested by
Councilwoman Kaywood on Conditional Use Permit No. 2558.
ORDINANCE NO. 4498: Councilman Roth offered Ordinance No. 4498 for first
reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 4498: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM ADDING NEW SUBSECTION
.613 TO SECTION 18.61.050 OF CHAPTER 18.61 OF TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ZONING.
487
99
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES -May, 8~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
Councilman Bay asked if the basic change was adding certain uses related to
private clubs, fraternities and sororities in the Canyon Industrial Area not
allowed previously, even with a conditional use permit. Miss Santalahti
confirmed this ordinance would put such uses back into the Canyon Industrial
Area.
Councilman Bay then asked if the matter went before the Redevelopment
Commission and did they have any comments; City Clerk, Lee Sohl answered, not
to her knowledge.
Councilman Bay wanted to know their comments and he also assumed that the
Chamber of Commerce Industrial Committee had been informed of the proposed
change since they received a copy of the agenda. He recommended a call to the
Chamber to remind them that this was a proposed change in the Canyon
Industrial Area to allow clubs, lodges, fraternities and sororities in that
area. Councilwoman Kaywood noted that such uses would be permitted by
conditional use permit which meant there would have to be a public hearing.
170: FINAL MAP TRACT NO. 12102: Developer, Century American; Tract is
located on the south side of Crescent Avenue, west of Muller Street and
contains a 5-lot, 136-unit proposed RM-3000 zoned subdivision.
On motion by Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Pickler, the
proposed subdivision together with its design and improvement was found to be
consistent with the City's General Plan and the City Council approved Final
Map Tract No. 12102 as recommended by the City Engineer in his memorandum
dated April 30, 1984. Councilman Overholt was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
151: PIUMA AIRCRAFT - REQUEST TO FLY A HOT AIR BALLOON: Request by Owen
Keown, Piuma Aircraft to fly a hot air balloon approximately 110 feet in the
air, in conjunction with the Computer Graphics '84 Convention at the Marriott
Hotel on May 14, 15, and 16, 1984 and at the Grand Hotel on May 17, 1984.
Submitted was a report dated April 30, 1984, from the Planning
Department/Zoning Division recommending denial of the request.
City Clerk Sohl reported that a letter dated May 4, 1984, had been received
from Mr. Keown of Piuma Aircraft withdrawing the request to fly the balloon at
110 feet and instead changing his method of promotion thus allowing his
company to operate within the height requirements of the Planning Department
(70 feet).
162/149: OFF-SITE TRACT SIGN - REQUESTING WAIVER OF COUNCIL POLICY NO. 501:
Request by Brian Johnson, C-W Associates for waiver of Council Policy No. 501
to place an off-site tract sign on City-owned property located at the
northeast corner of La Palma Avenue and Weir Canyon Road (Shorb Wells).
Councilwoman Kaywood moved to deny the request for waiver of Council Policy
No. 501 to place an off-site tract sign on City-owned property located at the
northeast corner of La Palma Avenue and Weir Canyon Road. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion.

lO0
City Hall~ Ana~eim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - ,May 8~ 1984t 10:00 A.M.
Before a vote was taken, a gentleman from the audience requested to speak on
the matter.
Mr. Brian W. Johnson, Representative of C-W Associates, 3931 MacArthur
Boulevard Suite 113, Newport Beach, first referred to staff report dated
April 20, 1984 relating to the subject wherein it stated that two years ago
C-W Associates entered into an agreement with Anaheim to improve La Palma
Avenue from Weir Canyon Road easterly to the City limits (see detailed report
on file in the City Clerk's office). At the time they entered into that
agreement, the property was in the County and was subsequently annexed to
Anaheim. He explained that La Palma Avenue was the only direct access
allowing potential purchase of their land to be able to gain access. The
staff report stated that waiving the policy would set a precedent; however,
there were signs on the south side of the Riverside Freeway at Weir Canyon
advertising for another developer. The request was made for Council to waive
the policy from the standpoint that there was no other place they could
install the sign.
Hayor Roth, although he understood Mr. Johnson's dilemma, stated that signage
in the hill and'canyon area was a sensitive problem.
Councilman Bay recounted that when the City agreed to allow the extension of
La Palma, in effect this gave up land to the benefit of the developer, thus he
did not buy the argument that the City still owed the developer anything. He
was also concerned that waiver of Council Policy No. 501 could open the door
to similar requests.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Councilman Overholt was
absent. MOTION CARRIED.
YELLOW CAB COMPANY - REQUEST TO OPE.RATE TAXI/VAN SHUTTLES: Request by Diane
L. Slagle, Yellow Cab Company of Orange County, for authorization to operate
four additional taxivans/shuttles and fifteen additional taxicabs in the
Disneyland area at a rate of ~1.00 per person.
Councilman Roth moved to approve the operation of four additional
taxivans/shuttles and 15 additional taxicabs in the Disneyland area at a rate
of $1.00 per person. Councilman Pickler seconded the motion.
Before a vote was taken, Councilman Bay noted that on the taxivans and
shuttles and large bus, when they gave the original approval, it was for peak
load times. Since these were unscheduled type shuttles, he questioned how the
ordinance might be enforced, and whether the shuttles could run without
scheduling, at will.
City Attorney Hopkins explained if the vehicles were unscheduled, the answer
was yes they ran at will. The Police Department monitored the activities of
taxis and if there were violations of the ordinance, they would issue
citations and he assumed they would monitor this situation as well.
Mayor Roth noted that in their letter of April 19, 1984, Yellow Cab was asking
for an increased level of service in anticipation of the high demand of the
489
97
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - ~a~ 8~ 1984~ 10:00 A.M.
1984 Summer Olympics. He noted that Diane Slagle was in the audience and
asked if she wished to speak.
Diane Slagle, Representing Yellow Cab, 1617 East Lincoln, stated the
resolution to which Councilman Bay referred was No. 79R-497 and it specified
that the vehicles would operate during conventions and peak periods only and
that had been their use of the types of vehicles involved. Her company had
utilized up to twenty-two on occasions, but because of the additional cost of
operating them, they only did so in cases where there are large conventions
and in the Dtsneyland area exclusively.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Councilman Overholt was
absent. MOTION CARRIED.
ORDINANCE NO. 4495 - LIMITING ACCESSORY USES OF PROPERTY TO A SPECIFIC
PERCENTAGE OF THE PRIMARY USES PERMITTED: Amending Section 18.01.100 of the
Code, limiting any accessory uses of property to a specific percentage of the
primary use permitted on the property. (See minutes May 1, 1984 where the
matter was discussed).
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to continue consideration of the proposed
ordinance for one week for full Council action since both he and Councilman
Overholt had concerns relative to the matter. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded
the motion, Councilman Overholt was absent. MOTION CARRIED.
ORDINANCE NO. 4499: Councilman Roth offered Ordinance No. 4499 for first
reading.
ORDINANCE NO. 4499: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING THE ZONING
MAP REFERRED TO IN TITLE 18 OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ZONING.
(66-67-61(104), C-R, South of Manchester, east of Harbor Boulevard).
129: PROPOSED ONE-YEAR MORATORIUM ON FIREWORKS: Councilwoman Kaywood stated
she was extremely concerned in watching the news over the weekend with the
heat, wind and dry, rainless winter causing fire danger at this early time of
the year. She felt, in the interest of safety, air quality and water
conservation that there should be a one-year moratorium on fireworks in
Anaheim. She asked for Council to consider a moratorium as prevention would
be the wisest way to proceed, in order to prevent any loss of life or
property. She asked if they would need to schedule the matter for discussion
in one week.
Mayor Roth stated the Fire Department was already posting the entire hill and
canyon area relative to the fire danger and he commended the Department for
taking the initiative for doing so at this point. Further, he saw the Police
Department asking people to leave the area when they were seen walking through.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated the hill and canyon area was not the only area of
concern. With the heat and dryness, they were going to have a dangerous
summer. She reiterated that she would like to see a one-year (1984) period
where no sale or use of any kind of fireworks was permitted in the City.

Mayor Roth felt there should be a public hearing if the majority of the
Council agreed so that the matter could be discussed. He felt, however, that
the issue should be discussed with a full Council.
Councilwoman Kaywood stated it should be done early enough where anyone
raising funds from the sale of fireworks would have time for an alternate fund
raiser.
MOTION: Councilwoman Kaywood moved that the Council consider a one-year
moratorium on fireworks for this year because of the dry, hot and windy
weather.
Before any action was taken, Councilman Bay stated he would normally second
the motion because everybody knew how he felt about fireworks and potential
fires in the City. He asked, however, that the motion be made again when
there was a full Council next week. That was his key reason for not seconding
the motion today and further allowing him an opportunity to think about the
issue for another week.
The foregoing motion by Councilwoman Kaywood died for a lack of a second.
127: PROPOSITION A: Councilwoman Kaywood commented that she was surprised at
the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce position on Proposition A. She referred to
the material they had received from the Auto Club and the notification if
Proposition A were to pass, that over the fifteen-year period, Anaheim would
receive approximately 3113,151,000. She voiced the opinion that the state of
the roads and transportation in the City was vital to the economic health of
everyone, and it was a matter to be looked into deeply and not to be voted on
and passed off quickly.
Mayor Roth asked if she was suggesting that she contact the Chamber and ask
them to reverse their vote; Councilwoman Kaywood answered that for the Chamber
to have a second vote would be entirely appropriate.
Mayor Roth encouraged her to contact the Chairman of the Board of the Chamber,
Walt Smith, and make that recommendation.
Before concluding, Councilman Pickler stated that relative to Proposition A,
he would like to have the Council consider a resolution in support of the
measure next week.
REQUEST FOR CLOSED SESSION: The City Attorney requested a Closed Session to
discuss litigation and potential litigation with no action anticipated.
Councilman Roth moved to recess into Closed Session.
