WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Anaheirti considered a reclassi-
.`ication petition for C-1, General Commercial, Zoning on property located in the
Peralta Hi!ls at a public hearing on April 20, 1970; anci
VJHEREAS, ttie Planning Commission at said hearing recommended disapproval of said
reclassification of choice residential estate properties to the commerciai zone; and
WHEREAS, annexation of the Peralta Hil.ls ar,d Santa Ana Canyon Are~ gave ti~~ City
of Anaheim an opportunity to "get off to a fresh sta:t" in planning the development
of this relatively uninhabited and undeveloped area of Northern Orange County, thus
tt~e opportunity is presented now to build instead of rebuild and to plan ratf,er than
react; and
VIHEREAS, the City Council, the Flanning Commission, and the City stafi have
devoted mar,y hours at work sessions and public liearings in developing a General Plan
that would provide a reasonable and logical framework for guiding the development of
the liill and Canyon Area and that until evidence is presented that conditions and/or
circumstances are such as to justify some type o.` development other than what is presently
projected on the Plan, the current guidelines st~.ould be followed, and that since adequate
facilities have been planned for the San:a Ana Ganyon Area, any deviation from the
Plar~, unless justified by substantiating ~vidence, would be detrimental to the area
and to the general planning program; and
1'JHEREAS, residents of the Peralta Hills and Santa Ana Canyon Area were assured

to annexation, that ttiis area of Anaheim will be maintained as one of the finest low-
density, residential areas in the City, and it is the duty of the City to retain the
residential inteority of the Peralta Nills and Santa Ana Canyon Area in accordance
witn the land use policies established in the General Plan; and
YlNEREAS, unless good planning practices are followed in the initial development
of the fiill and Canyon Area, the City will find itself reacting once again. rather
tt~an establishing a good planning f•ramework; and
P~fiEREAS, the Planning Commission hereby reaffirms its previous position regardinq
the planning principles established in the Anaheim General Plan by restating as a
matter of policy that the Hill and Canyon Area should be retained for low-density r~si-
dential purposes and that this restatement of policy should serve notic.e to any future
