the issue before the voters.

Zoning Supervisor Ronald Thompson noted the location of subject
property and the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, summarizing
the evidence submitted %o and considered by the City Plannin9 Commission.
The Mayor asked if a representative of the petitioners wished
to address the Council.
Mr. A1Fishman, 363 South Main Street, Suite 214, Orange,
Agent for the petitioners, advised of his plans to develop the 2.6 acre
parcel into a small town and country shopping center. He noted that
Euclid Street was becoming one of the major primary north-south thorough-
fares in the County, while the character of Orangewood Avenue had changed
to a major feeder street, serving Anaheim Stadium.
It was Mr. Fishman~s opinion that the proposed development was
a reasonalbe solution to a problem parcel of land, and would be a con-
venience to the surrounding areat he further noted the following alter-
natives for the property's development:
9440
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 17, 1966, 1:30 P.M.
(a) Single family residential homes. (Mr. Fishman felt this would be
economically unfeasible, due to the cost of land on Euclid Street,
and the heavy traffic would be detrimental to residents of such homes.)
(b) Heavy commercial, such as the large food market which was applied for
in 1965 and denied (Reclassification No. 65-66-1).
(c) Wedical center. (Convalescent home previously approved for property to
the north, but not yet developed Reclassification No. 64-65-19.)
(d) Multi-story office building or apartments. (Mr. Fishman felt this
would be less desirable to adjacent residents than the single story
shops proposed).
Slide photographs of renderings and plans for the proposed
Spanish-style architecture complex were shown, and Mr. Fishman pointed out
that the tile roof would be sloped at the rear of the building to give
a residential appearance; that mechanical equipment would be on the roof,
located as far from adjoining homes as possible, and any noise being
controlled by 4 foot parapet walls, front and rear. He described the
parking area lighting, designed so as not to illuminate the residential
area, and he noted provision for six foot block walls on the East and North
property lines, with 3 foot landscaped strip inside said walls, includin9
trees to be chosen by the neighboring property owners. He was of the opinion
that the approximately 100 year old Camphor tree on the property should be
preserved as a focal point of the development, blending with landscaped
strips along the street frontages.
In conclusion, Mr. Fishman noted the unusual design of the proposed
service station~ so as to be compatible with the development and with the
surrounding area, and he stipulated that the service station sign would be
limited to 25 feet in height, and located so as to conform with City's
sign ordinance. He further advised that the lease on subject property pro-
vices that the residential architecture be used, as shown on the plans
submitted, the develomers to retain strict architectural control.
5!ayor Krein asked if anyone wished to offer opposition to the
proposed development.
Mr. Richard Rowan, 2057 Lids Lane, adjoining subject property,
stated his opposition was based on the loss of privacy his family would
suffer, and he noted that there was no indication of what type of businesses
would be occupying many of the proposed stores; that there were seven
exisz~ng filling stations within one-half mile of the property, as well as
a nearby super market and shops, a convenience shopping center, and a com-
mercial complex under construction directly across the street. He was of
the opinion chat the granting of subject reclassification would establish
a precedent for development of other vacant properties to the South.
Mr. Rowan noted that a single-family residential study of the
property in auestion was included in Planning Study No. 75-58-1, in con-
jut:orion with Reclassification No. ~]a-65-17 (medical center to the North);
said ~it~:dy indicating homes backing up fo Euclid Street, which he felt
wcx~ld preserve the integrity of the existing homes. He thereupon submitted
a petit[on of opposilion to Reclassification No. 05-66-100, signed by
approximately 374 residents of the area.
Wr. Devon E. Bi~ggs, 16Tm Ionia Place, addressed the Council,
aovis~na he failed to see any necessity for ~he development proposed~ and
he desired the integrity of the high quality, well-kept residential area
t~ be uphelc. He objected to the invasion of privacy, especially since
~r~'.,'a~e satios, yards and smimming pools would be a few feet from the
cortme'~clal area, where air conditioning systems would be operating twenty-
four hours per day', and trucks would be making frequent deliveries.
The I,~ayor asked if anyone else wished o voice opposition.
Others expressing opposition to the reclassification were:
Theodore Schaeffer, 2068 hida Lane; Wrs. Wary Biggs, 1674 Tonia
Place; Wt. Harry Williamso~, 0881 Ionia Place; Wt. !~ard !~ardell, 11542
l!~zabeth, Garden Grove; and Mr. G. !~. Conic, 1635 ~est Ricky Lane.
Objec*iorts were that the property would be developed in stages, with
9441
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 17~ 1966~ 1:30 P.M.
construction to start several months hence; that the convalescent home
approved on property to the North had not yet materialized; that the
granting of subject request would establish a precedent for undeveloped
property to the South of Orangewood Avenue; that the back yards and
patios would lose privacy, so close to the commercial area; that the
proposed four foot parapets would not muffle the noise of air conditioning
equipment unless they were enclosed, which would be impractical; that the
Spanish-style architecture would be inappropriate in thi~ area; and that
the General Plan indicated low-density residential development of the
property during the past year, when a recent purchase of a home on Ricky
Lane was made.
The Deputy City Clerk read communication from Don C. Gunnell,
on behalf of Anaheim Euclid Convalescent Hospital, Inc., dated May 13,
1966, giving their approval of the proposed development. Also noted was
letter of protest from Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Foster, 1680 Tonia Place.
In rebuttal, Mr. Fishman noted that there would be a small
convenience market, a ranch-type banking facility, a quality men's shop,
and similar uses in the center. Concerning undeveloped property to the
South, he noted finding of the City Planning Commission to the contrary.
In answer to Council questioning, Mr. Fishman advised that the
property is being developed as a personal investment, and the intent was
to retain it for that purpose. He explained their plans for leasing
approximately 70 percent of the stores prior to commencing construction,
and advised that the service station would be developed first, the balance
being added in phases. He assured the Council that every effort would be
made to alleviate construction problems to the neighborhood wherever possible.
In response to additional questions, Mr. Fishman noted that the
property will be developed exactly in accordance with the architectural
plans submitted with subject petition.
Mr. George Reed, representing the four property owners, briefed
the sequence of events and sale of portions of the original property, noting
that after the denial of application for a larger market on subject parcel,
much consideration was given to subject proposal prior to the filing of the
application. He was of the opinion that the development proposed would be
a good solution and would be compatible to the neighborhood.
Mr. Biggs returned to the podium and asked, if they could not
have single family residential development, why the City could not develop
the property for a parksite. He noted the lack of parks in the area, and
felt that existing trees would be preserved in this manner.
Councilman Dutton stated that the property was not large enough
for a park. He called attention to the fact that the General Plan repre-
sented the best thinking at the time it was prepared, and anyone had the
right to apply for a use which might deviate from the projections on the
General Plan map.
Mayor Krein stated that a good cross section of the evidence
had been presented, and thereupon declared the hearing closed.
Discussion was held by the City Council, Councilman Schutte
noting problems of the many dwellings in the city located on major thorough-
fares; and suggesting that walls higher than 6 feet be Considered to protect
residential properties from commerc:al areas.
Councilman Du±ton was of the opinion that the proposed development
was superior to anything previously proposed for the property, and that the
applicants have endeavored to satisfy all objections.
Furthest discussion was held, and in answer to Council questioning,
Mr. George Argyros, associated with Mr. Fishman, advised that trees to be
installed in the landscaped areas near the North and East boundaries would
be approximately six feet in height at planting. Ihe property would most-
likely be developed first with the service station and the east portion of
the store building; Phase two being the north portion of the building.
9442
City. Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - May 17, 1966, 1:30 P.M,
Mr. Fishman expressed approval of the possibility of a higher
wall, and stated they desired /he development to be compatible to the
residential area. However, they could not relocate any portion of the
building further away from adjacent properties and still retain sufficient
parking.
RESOLUTION NO, 66R-362: Councilman Dutton offered Resolution No. 66R-362
for adoption~ authorizing preparation of necessary ordinance changing the
zone as requested, subject to the recommendations of the City Planning
Commission, and further subject to the following condition:

constructed at a height of 6 feet, 7 feet or 8 feet, to be specified
by the Planning Division.
