The City Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract No. 11936; EIR No. 247
was certified by the City Council on December 8, 1981.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if the subject was the project which was approved
with a "barracks-like" appearance and if it was going to proceed under those
plans; Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, clarified that it was
the same project, but they presently had a set of revised plans with
modifications that would be going to the Planning Commission on Monday,
October 31, 1983. They were much improved plans which were now at a staff
level.
Councilwoman Kaywood felt it was a disservice when the Council received
tentative tracts without any meaningful information and they did not yet have
the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting. She wanted to know if the
only way to change the procedure relative to tentative tracts was through the
Legislature in Sacramento.
Miss Santalahti answered that the Legislature had established l0 days as the
appeal period, and they would be the body to make any change.
85O
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 25, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood thereupon moved that the Council contact the City's
Legislators and ask that the 10-day appeal period be changed to 22 days, to
coincide with other zoning items; the motion died for lack of a second.
Mayor Roth stated before he was ready to vote for such an action, he would
like to have a staff report relative to the impact of such a change.

actions of the City Planning Commission became final.

2259; a negative declaration status was approved on November 16, 1981.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 25, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
151: SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT TO F~f A HOT AIR BALLOON: A request was submitted
by Owen Keown for a Special Events Permit to fly a hot air balloon in the
Disneyland Hotel parking lot October 31, November 1, November 2 and
November 3, 1983.
City Clerk Linda Roberts stated that she had been advised verbally that the
balloon would be tethered on the ground and it would be 85 feet high.
Annika Santalahti, Assistant Director for Zoning, explained that although
staff might be considered as authorized to approve a Special Events Permit for
an activity like this, they had done so several times in the past and were
very unsatisfied with the results. They restricted the flying of a hot air
balloon over the height that a sign may be permitted in a given zone or
perhaps the maximum building height. In this instance, because of the
nearness of residential zoning, theoretically 25 feet would be the sign height
and potentially in the CR area a building could go to 70 feet. The balloon
itself she understood was 60 feet high, as measured from the ground. The
information they had given verbally was that they would raise the balloon only
25 feet. She did not know if she could rely on that information. The
specific problem they had several months ago had to do with a similar balloon
at the Sheraton Hotel. They were given the information about the height
limitations and specifically the CR restriction around the Disneyland area,
and the applicant substantially exceeded that height. Therefore, they were
unwilling to approve at a staff level the Special Events Permit that was
before them today. They did receive a written indication from the Disneyland
Hotel that they were willing to have the balloon in their parking lot. She
also confirmed for Councilman Pickler that a similar request to fly an
advertising balloon at a greater height than allowed had been denied recently.
Mayor Roth noted, however, that that denial involved a balloon being flown
close to residential properties, but the request today dealt with the
recreational area. If there was no visual intrusion into Disneyland, they
should give it consideration. The convention during which the balloon would
be flown involved occupying 1,020 rooms at the Disneyland Hotel, which
represented a substantial financial impact.
Mr. Owen Keown, applicant, 24800 Piuma Road, Malibu, explained that the 65
feet was approximately the height from the bottom of the basket to the top of
the balloon. They were tethering it 25 feet off the ground'and, therefore, it
would be at 90 feet. They wanted to take the basket 25 feet off the ground.
The building was approximately 200 feet away and approximately twice that
height.
Councilman Bay asked if the balloon was flown for rides, what the maximum
height the top of the balloon could go to before it created visual intrusion
into Disneyland; Miss Santalahti answered that the balloon was to be flown in
the parking lot of the Disneyland Hotel fronting on Cerritos between Walnut
and West Streets. The maximum height below which anything would be visible
into the Disneyland area was approximately 113 feet and if they could keep it
under that height, there would be no problem.
852
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 25, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Councilwoman Kaywood questioned how many parking spaces would then be
displaced by the balloon; Mr. Keown explained that the hotel had blocked off
one of the aisles of the four aisles, an area 144 feet by 80 feet, including
the aisle between the parking spaces.
Councilman Bay asked Mr. Keown if he would stipulate to keeping the balloon
under 113 feet; Mr. Keown answered "yes," and, further, that it was difficult
to see it anywhere except toward the northeast and north, because of the
height of the buildings in the other directions.
Mayor Roth asked if he could live with flying it at 100 feet; Mr. Keown
answered "yes." In answer to further questions, he also confirmed that the
balloon would be flown for four days, that they would be giving rides to
members of the National Association of Theater Owners Convention from 7:00
a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to approve the Special Events Permit submitted
by Owen Keown, Piuma Aircraft, to fly a hot air balloon in the Disneyland
Hotel parking lot, October 31, November 1, November 2, and November 3, 1983,
four days maximum, at a maximum height of 100 feet, subject to ail proper
permits and insurance. Councilman Bay seconded the motion. Council Members
Kaywood and Pickler voted "No." MOTION CARRIED.

Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood noted that they made an
additional change to the ordinance last week, tying the CUP to the particular
owner; City Attorney William Hopkins stated the changes were made at the
previous Council meeting (see minutes October 18, 1983) and he subsequently
included that change in the ordinance.

176: PUBLIC HEARING - ABANDONMENT NO. 83-9A: In accordance with application
filed by Kaufman and Broad of Southern California, a public hearing was held
on proposed abandonment of a portion of Santa Ana Canyon Road located east of
Weir Canyon Road, in accordance with an agreement executed April 21, 1981 with
Kent Land Company, pursuant to Resolution No. 83R-382, duly published in the
Anaheim Bulletin and notices thereof posted in accordance with law.
Report of the City Engineer dated September 14, 1983, was submitted,
recommending approval of said abandonment, subject to the following conditions:
1. Conveyance of Real Property held in fee title by Kent Land Company, to be
exchanged with Real Property held in fee title by the City of Anaheim, as
outlined in the above referenced agreement to accomplish the proposed
realignment of Santa Ana Canyon Road.
2. Relocation and construction of the above portion of Santa Ana Canyon Road
to be completed at the applicant's expense, as also outlined in the above
referenced agreement.
3. Subject conditions to be finalized within two years from the date of
approval of the Resolution of Intent, or such further time that the City
Council may grant.
The City Engineer also determined that the proposed activity falls within the
definition of Section 3.01, Class 5, of the City of Anaheim Guidelines to the
requirements for an EIR and is, therefore, categorically exempt from the
requirement to file an EIR.
Mayor Roth asked if anyone wished to address the Council.
Mr. Keith Murdoch, 516 Wedgewood Drive, representing the applicant, stated as
the Council would recall, action was taken approximately two years ago
relative to the realignment of Santa Aha Canyon Road, the portion lying
easterly of Weir Canyon Road. The action today followed that action and was
consistent with it. They were in support of the staff recommendation.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
Councilwoman Kaywood offered Resolution No. 83R-419 for adoption, approving
Abandonment No. 83-9A, subject to the conditions of the City Engineer. Refer

(Ail Car Equipment Company and Apple Auto Leasing), to retain an automotive
repair and leasing facility on ML zoned property located at 1874 South Santa
Cruz Street, with a Code waiver of minimum number of parking spaces.
The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC83-170, approved
the negative declaration upon finding that it had considered the negative

process and further, finding on the basis of the initial study and any
comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will
have a significant effect on the environment and further, granted Conditional
Use Permit No. 2492, subject to certain conditions.
The decision of the Planning Commission was appealed by Willy Sulzmann,
appellant, and public hearing scheduled this date.
City Clerk Linda Roberts reported that a letter dated October 20, 1983, had
been received from the applicant, William Van Den Hurk, requesting a
continuance to November 22, 1983, since he was unable to be present today.
Councilwoman Kaywood asked if they had stopped parking cars and boats on the
front lawn; Annika Santalahti stated she had the impression that they may have
reduced that activity.
Councilwoman Kaywood wanted to know if they wanted to have the applicant
remove those items from the lawn during any continuance of the hearing; Miss
Santalahti stated that the enforcement staff could go out and try to suggest
that they clear up the situation before the public hearing.
The Mayor asked if anyone was present today to speak on the matter; a
gentleman from the audience indicated his presence.
Mayor Roth reiterated the request they had received for a continuance and
asked the gentleman if he would like to give his input today or wait until
November 22, 1983; the answer was that he would come back at that time.
MOTION: Councilman Roth moved to continue the public hearing on Conditional
Use Permit No. 2492 to November 22, 1983, at 1:30 p.m. Councilman Pickler
seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.

A review of the Planning Commission's decision on both the Reclassification
and the Conditional Use Permit was requested by Councilwoman Kaywood at the
meeting of October il, 1983, and public hearing scheduled this date.
The Mayor asked to hear from the applicant or applicant's agent.
Mr. John Catalono, 134 Dolphin Street, Seal Beach, then read from a four-page
prepared statement entitled "Sunkist Inn" which also contained the following
attachments: (1) Letter dated May 3, 1983, from Quality Inns International,
indicating interest in franchising the project, (2) letter dated March 30,
1983, from Travel Lodge, indicating that they would be interested in
considering the location on a franchise basis only and, (3) a plot map showing
the subject parcel and surrounding parcels, their zoning designation and when
that zoning took place (statement and attached documents made a part of the
record). Some of the major points in Mr. Catalono's presentation were as
follows: They had withdrawn their request for a cocktail lounge; the impact
to the residential areas north of the project would be mitigated by a 9-foot,
2-inch block wall fence and 19 feet of landscaped area planted with a tree
screen on the northerly property line; the traffic generated by the proposed
use would not impose an undue burden on the streets and highways in the area;
the project was estimated to generate a total of 64 vehicle trips daily and 40
trips during the p.m. peak hours; they had met numerous times with a committee
of their neighbors, which resulted in their proposal to erect the wall and
provide the landscaped buffer; speed bumps would be constructed at appropriate
locations on the property; the motel affiliation would probably be with
Comfort Inn, Travel Lodge or Best Western chains, all of which had high
standards of operation and construction criteria. They felt that the best
development for the property was a motor inn. Mr.'Catalono also showed a
colored rendering of the proposed motel~ a black and white copy of which was
posted on the Chambers wall and made a part of the record.
The Mayor asked to hear from anyone else who wished to speak in favor; there
was no response.
The Mayor then asked to hear from those present in opposition, first asking
for a show of hands of those opposed to the motel; approximately 75 people
raised their hands.
860
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 25, 1983, 10:00 A.M.
The following people then spoke in opposition, expressing their concerns, as
well as those of their neighbors, the major points of which are also listed
and upon which they elaborated in their presentations: Mr. Bob Stone, 1194
South Hilda; Charles Murphy, 1187 South Hilda; Hilda Beebe, 796 South Hilda;
Ruth Moore, 2528 Riles Circle; Tom Elser, 1176 South Hilda; Elbert Travis, 792
South Hilda.
They were totally opposed to the magnitude of the project being constructed in
a residential neighborhood; a three-story, 80-unit project would be the only
three-story structure within miles around and it was inappropriate for a motel
to be built in a residential area; little could be done to protect the
adjacent residential from sight intrusion, even with the proposed block wall;
maintenance of both the current and proposed structure was a concern, since
the picture submitted (posted on the Chambers wall) showing some of the
conditions existing on the site at present were evidence of the poor
maintenance standards they could expect; there was concern relative to the
success of the proposed venture with the franchise possibility being a
question mark; they would be faced with a less-than-desirable motel that would
cater to a less-than-desirable clientele and their neighborhood would then no
longer be a desirable place in which to live; the density of the project would
be excessive; the project would have a definite impact on the quality of life
as well as property values; the traffic pattern on Ball Road would make it
difficult for emergency vehicles to enter the property; the proposed
landscaped buffer was only four feet and not 19 feet between Mrs. Beebe's home
and Sunkist; there would be a danger presented to the many children who would
have to walk by the motel on their way to and from the three schools in the
areauthe three major areas of concern in that regard being traffic accidents,
drug influence and sales, and more serious crimes such as possible molestation
or kidnapping; the developer's traffic plan was nothing but a couple of
haphazard ideas.
Mr. Elser, working from a sketch which was posted on the Chambers wall,
elaborated upon the traffic concerns and the problems of ingress and egress
that would be created at the entrance to the parking lot off Sunkist, the
accident statistics at the intersection of Sunkist and Ball Road where a total
of 49,000 cars passed daily, and the fact that the only access into the main
entrance of the motel was westbound on Ball Road. He also refuted Mr.
Catalono's figures of daily vehicle trips from the motel. In concluding, Mr.
Elser emphasized the time factor, which in his opinion was the very heart of
the reason why they did not want a motel. Three and one-half years ago they
had a rash of burglaries in their neighborhood. Subsequently, they were the
first to establish a successful Neighborhood Watch in the City, which brought
about a dramatic reduction. Since there was no assurance they were going to
have a first-rate motel, they were concerned it would be one that would breed
crime, which would overflow into their neighborhood.
Mr. Travis, who had been asked at the end of the presentations to summarize
the matter for the neighbors, stated there was nothing he could add to what
had already been said, but he could speak for everyone present in opposition
today--they could not agree with the proposed project at all and were totally
100 percent against the motel.
861
City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 25~ 1983, 10:00 A.M.
Mayor Roth then asked Mr. Catalono to make his rebuttal and summation.
Mr. Catalono then spoke to a number of the concerns expressed. He also
confirmed that they had numerous meetings with the people of Quality Inn.
Also, he and Mr. Waters had been involved in developing properties for most of
their business careers and there was no question that theirs would be a
quality project. He also considered the photographs of the property submitted
by the neighbors to be biased, since there were other areas of the property
that could have been photographed that would show it to be very nice and
attractive. He then submitted random photographs taken in various parts of
the City showing areas that were less than well-maintained. They were very
committed to developing the project with their financial success in mind,
since they had a definite deep financial commitment and plan, and it was
within ail of the governmental agency requirements.
There being no further persons who wished to speak, the Mayor closed the
public hearings.
Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, then answered questions posed by Council
Members wherein he reported that the trips generated by a motel were 7 trips
per room, one way, and for that estimation, there would be 570 trip ends
generated, or 65 per acre on a one-story motel. A commercial center could
generate from a low of 450 to a high of 1170 trips per day on that property.
The traffic in the area was going to grow substantially, at least by 27
percent in the year 2000, which would probably exceed the capacity at that
intersection.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - NEGATIVE DECLARATION - RECLASSIFICATION NO.
83-84-1 AND CONDITIONAL USE PE~IT NO. 2475 (READVERTISED):. On motion by
Councilwoman Kaywood, seconded by Councilman Roth, the City Council, having
considered the negative declaration, together with any comments received
during the public review process and further finding on the basis of the
initial study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence
that the projects will have a significant effect on the environment and are,
therefore, exempt from the requirement to prepare an EIR. MOTION CARRIED.
Before offering a resolution relative to the Reclassification, Councilwoman
Kaywood asked how they could assure a low use on the subject property.
Miss Santalahti answered if they wanted to see what kind of commercial
proposal might be submitted on the property, they should deny the
reclassification. Another way, if the rezoning action was approved, they
could add as a condition that prior to introduction of an ordinance, that a
set of drawings on a specific proposal or project first be submitted.
Councilwoman Kaywood, in order to be sure that they had the opportunity to see
any other project that might be proposed on the property, offered Resolution
No. 83R-420 for adoption, denying Reclassification No. 83-84-1, reversing the
findings of the City Planning Commission. Refer to Resolution Book.

RESOLUTION NO. 83R-421: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM DENYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2475.
Before a vote was taken, Councilwoman Kaywood stated the denial was on the
basis that with a three-story motel, there was no way to avoid having sight
intrusion into the adjacent residences and that the existing level of
maintenance was the best recommendation for what the neighbors could expect
for the project that was proposed.
Councilman Bay stated that he was concerned about CL property throughout the
City being a target point for motels. He personally did not like the idea of
motels backing up to residential areas, particularly single-family
residential. He was also concerned with the feeling that he got of a lack of
empathy on the Planning Commission's part when there was a large protest from
adjoining residential areas. He wanted to express that for the record,
because he was seeing it more and more on some of the decisions coming out of
the Planning Commission. He felt it was very important when a large group of
residents came in and said they did not want a motel next to their residential
area that the Planning Commission should listen, as well as the elected
officials.
A vote was then taken on the resolution denying the conditional use permit.
