CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING~ VARIANCE NO~ 1457: Submitted by Dietrich LeBeau
Development Company9 requesting permission to construct a two-story profes-
sional office building on property located on the south side of Katella
Avenue, between Harbor Boulevard and Haster Street.
Public hearing was continued from the June 6, 1962, meeting, to
allow preparation of Pl. anning Study and recommendations of the City Planning
Commission as to a definite boundary of the area of influence of Disneyland.
Mr. Martin Kreidt advised that the City Planning Commission, at
their meeting of June ~5~ 1962~ by motion indicated their intention to set
work session within the next two weeks before consideration of the boundary
of the Disneyland area of influence~ in conjunction with the General Planning
Study. In regard to Variance Nco t457, Mr. Kreidt advised that the Commis-
sion reaffirms their opinion that 'the proposed two-story Farmers' Automobile
Insurance Headquarters professional building on subject property would
definitely fail within the limitations of the Disneyland area~ and that
said use would also be a facility which would be useful to tourists, on
which the area is dependent° Further~ that the area on the south side of
Katella Avenue from the Riviera ~obile Homes Trailer entrance easterly to
Haster Street, could be an ideal area in which to permit the establishment
of professional and business buildings, with 'the exception of real estate
offices, for uses which would cater to tourism; that tentatively the area
considered as Disneyland area of influence~ is from Haster Street to West
Street, and from Orangewood Avenue to the Santa Ana Freeway; however there
are additional areas which might be included, and also areas within this
periphery which should be excluded.

Clty Hail, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 26~ 1962, 3:00 P.M.
In answer to Councilman Dutton's question regarding the exclusion
of real estate offices, when perhaps they also could be considered a service
and of interest to the tourists, Mr. Kreidt advised that the Commission's
concern was for the establishment of bona fide commercial business and pro-
fessional buildings, and there has been the experience when real estate
offices are incompatible with business and professional structures.
Discussion was held by the City Council, and Councilman Chandler
was of the opinion that prior to completion of the Planning Study and
exhibits that the following matters should also be considered:
1. Whether or not there should be allowed strictly business and
professional activities on a commercial level, and if so, what type should
be allowed.
2. Limitation of what should be permitted in the area from the
iisi that appears in the Anaheim Municipal Code.
3. Whether or not said uses should be permitted as a sole
standing activity of their own, or as a part of some other complex zone..
4. Should the uses be shaded on the edges, and concentrated
toward the center, or should we establish a policy and remain with said
poilcy~
5o Consideration of the remaining large parcels of land as
avai}.aole sites for activities~ such as convention halls and athletic
facilities.
, r. R:chard Reese, Planning D:rector, reported that the Planning
Stud? as to the boundaries of the Disneyland area has been completed; however
due to heavy agendas, 'there has not been an opportunity for the Commission to
consider this study and make recommendations; therefore the work session was
scheduled for review of this matter.
The City Council requested notice be given 'them of the time and
place of said work session by the City Planning Commission.
With regard to Variance No. 145'7, Mr. Reese advised that the
deed restrictions on subject property prevented any use such as a restaur-
ant or ~notel-,hotel.
Mr. Robert MacMahon, Attorney representinq Farmers' Insurance
Group, stated that although they would pre,er a dec~sion at this time, they
would not oppose a continuance of said Variance application.
Councilman Dutton moved to continue public hearing on Variance No.
145Y for two weeks, July 10, 196~, 3:00 P~M., to allow for completion of the

recommendations from the Planning Commission. Councilman Krein seconded the

a~res, which has been submitted to the County Planning Commission for their
consideration.
~r. Kreidt advised 'that 'the basic concept of the Commission at
this time is to concentrate the commercial facilities at the northeast
corner of the intersection, and to preserve the remaining corners for
residential development back-up treatment. That the City Plannin9

Department has been directed by the Planning Commission to prepare a Plan-
ning Study of 'the area bounded on the North by the Riverside Freeway, on
the West by the proposed Route 19 Freeway, on the East by the Santa And
River, and on the South by Ball Road; that said Plannin9 Study was submitted
in preliminary form to 'the Commission on June 25, and indicated how single
family subdivisions could be designed.
Mr. Kreidt further reported that Conditional Use Permit No. 256
requesting the erection of a service station at the southeast corner of
Lincoln and Rio Vista was considered and denied by the City Planning
Commission at their' meetinq of June 25, ]962.
Councilman Chandler moved to continue public hearing on Condi-
tionai Use Permit No. 236 to July 24, i962, to allow submission of the
Planninq Study as mentioned by Mr. Kreidt, in final form, and the City
Clerk ~as requested to aisc schedule Conditional Use Permit No. 256 for

~O'F.~ON CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING~ CONDi'IIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 245: Submitted by Mr. and Mrs.
Georoe E. Sibbe'tt, requesting permission to establish a trailer park on
property bounded on the North by the Riverside Freeway, on the West by
~he At~hison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, on the East by the Flood
Con'trol ChanneJ~ and on the South by a line running east and west,
approximately -~hirty.-f~ve feel north of Kenwood Avenue.
7he Ci~y Plann:ng Commission, pursuant to their Resolution No.
3~0, Series 196i.62, denied said Conditional Use Permit. Appeal from
action t:aken ~ t:~e Ci't:? Planning Commission was filed in the office of
the City Cl. er~ ~>? Edward H~ Sibbett, and advising 'that Mr. Leonard Smith
~ot~ld appear as agen~ representing the owners.
F,lro V~arLin Kreldt outlined the location of subject property
which is presentl? classified as ,V,.i and P~-.L, and also presented maps
indicat-;ng the existing ~ses and the presenl zoning of ~he immediate
area~ He advised that ~:ne C~[y Planning Commission, based on industrial
area analysis, was of the opinion [hat ~he proposed residential use of
appropriately zoned ina~stria] properties is incompatible, and that the
development of subject Properi~, as residential ~ould be a de~rimen~ to
further development, of 'the ~,,I-1 and P,A.-2 properties for industrial uses;
further, it was considered that t~e exlsllng conditions such as noise,
odors~ eic~ from the i~dustrial development would create an undesirable
resident ial area~
Discussion was held regarding adequate' access to the subject
area and Councilman Chandler was of the opinion that additional access
and additional bridges across the >lood Control Channel should be
investigated and considered, p~ior ~o further action on said Conditional
Use Permit.
i'he ~ayor asked if the applicant's representative was present
and wished 'Lo speak.
~r. Leonard Smith~ representing 'the owners of the property,
advised that t:he bridge on the north side serves two parcels of property,
t~ere are easements out io las[ Street; and the property to the South
is also served by a second bridge, in his opinion, the problem of circu-
lation could be solved throuqhout t:he three parcels to the westerly
portion beyond the Flood Control Channel.
~r. Sm~ih ad'vised that the portion of the property lying between
East Stxeet and ~he }lood Control Channel is not included in the applica-
tion, and will eventually be devel, oped into landscaping and service areas
for the proposed trailer park. He advised that their plans for development
conform to the proposed frail, er Park Ordinance, with the exception that
of their 1'73 trailer spaces, 130 do not comply with the required frontage
and square foot minimums;however their plans are to provide 28 foot and 30
foot stree/ widths within the trailer park to provide a better circulation.

}v~z. Smith urged approval of their request, in accordance with
plans submitted, and was of the opinion that the trailer park use will be
a favorable and reasonable transition zone from 'the heavy industry to the
,.~eot and the single residential to ii~e East.
The Mayor asked if anyone else wished to address the Council,
there oeing no response, declared %he hearing closed.
Councilman Krein offered resolution upholding the action of the
City Planning Commission, denying Conditional (Jse Permit No. 245.
Further discussion was held by the City Council regarding
additionai access and [he circulation p~oblem~ and proper zone in which
-Lo allow the development of' trailer pazks.
AL the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman Krein withdrew
his oze'v,ous resolution, in favor of' further study.
I~,~ayor Coons re-opened the hearing, in view of the wish for
addi[';onal evidence, to be further considered by -the City Council.
Councilman Dutton moved to continue the public hearing to August 7, 1962,
to allow preparation of a Planning Study of the entire area and recommen-

mis~--;~or ~s reasons for denial, and cail. e~ attention to Finding No. 3. He
f'ur{he-~ reported that develoz~ment plans were submitted for the north half
of the property only.
irt reply to further Council questioning, }~r. Kreidt stated the
south half of the property (Parcel. No, 3) fronting North Street was with-
drawn~ and further, advised that access could be to the property by the
extension of Lido Place to the East~ that L~do Place is presently a 32 foot

the remainder of l. zdo Place, running east and west, to full standard width.
The Ma/ox asked ?_f anyone wished to address the Council.
Mr. Wai±er Chaffee, Attorney appearing on behalf of the
applicants~ advised '[hat the parcel fronting North Street was withdrawn
for two reasons; first, 'there were no plans submi±ted, as there were no
plans pending, and -the parcel was :nciuded in the application because it
was in the same ownerah'ip~ second~ by withdrawing the North Street frontage,
ii was hoped to quiet some of the fears of the people who were objecting to
the possible extension o+ apartment: ho";s~ng on North Street.
~r. Chaffee fu=ther reported that Mrs. Bennett had originally
objected to the ex±ension of L~do Place, during the public hearing on the
former applicatlon~ which permitted apar-lments ~n the area, and at that
time had been assJzed that Lido Place ~ould provide adequate access, and
that thins plan could be extended to her property also. He no, ed that the
property ~as technioal!y zoned R.-O, but called attention to the fact that
it ~as bordered b/ R.-3 [o ~he ~lest, the Little League Baseball Park to the
North~ driving range ~h~th [s presently zoned R-3, school, future post

Mr. Chaffee, in rebuttal, stated he felt Mr. Rowland's general
objection was to R-3 zoning. Regarding the access, he stated the access
was planned at the time of the first zoning, and now they are considering
an existing situation. Regarding the traffic situation, he stated the
traffic on Lido Place would have no bearing on the children traveling
North ~'~ ~
s~ee~.
The Mayor asked if anyone had any additional evidence to offer,
there being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Chandler noted the size of the parcel, and advised
that according to the present zoning requirements of the Anaheim Municipal
Code, six units thirty-five feet in height could be constructed. In his
opinion, a single story multiple, as requested, would be preferable to the
neighborhood.
Councilman Chandler moved that the request of the applicant to
withdraw Parcel No. 3 be 9ranted. Councilman Dutton seconded the motion.
MOTION CARRIED.
Further discussion was held, and the history of the present R-O
Zoning noted. Also considered was 'the possibility of eliminating parking
on Lido Place to provide for traffic circulation.

Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed
in the office of the City Clerk by Arthur T. Horman, Motel-Hotel Section of
the Anaheim Area Visitors and Convention Bureau.
Letter of protest filed by Florence Garrett (the Kona Kal Motel)
was duplicated and copies thereof furnished each Councilman.
Mr. Kreidt noted the location of the property and summarized the
evidence submitted to the Planning Commission, calling attention particularly
to Conditions No. 1 and 11.
The Mayor asked if the applicant or his representative wished to
address the Council.
Mr. Harry Knisely, 730 West Katella Avenue, Attorney representing
the applicant, advised that in his opinion, they were talking about free
enterprise and competition; that the issue appeared to be "sub-standard
apartments". He reported that this is to be a two-story motel, and because
of the fact that this had been approved by the Plannin9 Commission,
requested to yield to the appellant, reserving his remarks for rebuttal.
Mr. Arthur Horman, 1760 West Lincoln Avenue, prefaced his remarks
by stating that the appeal was filed in the name of the Motel-Hotel Section
of the Anaheim Area Visitors and Convention Bureau; that he was not repre-
senting the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, as the Visitors and Convention
Bureau was not a part of the Chamber of Commerce.
He submitted and read a letter dated June 19, 1962, filed by
Charles A. Pearson, President of the Anaheim Area Visitors and Convention
Bureau, concernin9 the improperly titled motels, and requesting kitchen
facilities be limited to ten per cent, or less, of the entire units.
Mr. Horman also submitted and read a copy of a letter addressed
to the Anaheim Planning Commission by John T. O'Neill, President of the
Orange County Apartment House Association.
He further advised that the Motel-Hotel Section of the Anaheim
Area Visitors and Convention Bureau represented fifty-one Anaheim motels
and three hotels, and twenty motels outside the City of Anaheim. He then
submitted a petition requesting certain steps be taken to prevent the
building of sub-standard apartments under the guise of motels, represent-
ing thirty-five of their membership. Mr. Horman advised of the difference
in Code requirements regarding square footage, garaging, outside areas,
etc., between a permanent resident use and a motel, and further advised
of the differences between a motel function and those wherein a permanent
residence is established. He stated that those units built with kitchens
rent nlne-twel£ths of the year in many cases without daily maid service
or daily change of linens, and have been price-scaled below the normal
motel or apartment, to the detriment of the community, resulting in unfair
competition to the motels and apartments, and a general down-grading of
the community; and as a result, has been contributary to forced sales.
Mr. Borman explained that this application had not been previously
protested, due to the fact that theirs is a newly-formed committee, and
did not know of the pending application. However, at the Planning Commis-
sion meeting which he attended for another purpose, he heard this
application approved, and had an opportunity to review the plans and
learn that there are proposed one hundred and fifty-three units, none up to
5884
~California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 26 1962 3:00 P.M.
the apartment standards, and meet what they have termed as, "sub-standard
apartments". He stated that a survey was made of their group of
approximately fifty motels, and there are a total of 1,611 rooms with
122 kitchens, or 7.56 per cent; and further stated that the trend is to
fewer kitchens, not more; and gave illustrations supporting this statement.
At the request of Mr. Horman, those people Present Protesting
the granting of the variance stood in recognition.
Mr. Knisely was of the opinion that this was a Pressure group,
and a part of the Chamber of Commerce, which is subsidized by the City.
~4ayor Coons explained that 'the Visitors and Convention Bureau
was no longer a division of the Chamber of Commerce; that they now were a
separate entity.
Mr. Knisely noted that the appellant owns a motel, and refers
sub-standard motels, imorooer motels, and hards ° to
operators. From the l~.~t ........... hzp on legitimate motet
Kn~_~ ..... ~=~ ~uu~z~e~ by the apartment house owners ~r.
. zo~zy ~o~ the zmpression that their on ..... '
zy oooection was that of competi-
tion, and asked how it could be considered unfair competition if someone
gave the accomodations at a lesser rate.
He stated no one can quarrel with the incompatibility of a motel
on Ka'tella Avenue, across from the south entrance to Disneyland, and further
advised that the property is in escrow~ contingent upon the approval of the
kitchen units. He noted the difference between the type of people that
rent a motel on Katella Avenue, compared with other areas; that people with
children who come to this area to visit Disneyland find prices high in a
commercial motel.
In his opinion, when you talk about a unit being "sub-standard,,,
quality should be considered, rather than just square footage.
~4r. Robert Shelley, 1030 West Katella Avenue, asked how many beds
per unit were planned for each room.
~qayor Coons referred to the plans and advised that the number of
beds were not indicated; however, he was of the opinion that under the
State Housing Act regarding hotels and motels, there are restrictions
regulating the number of occupants in a room.
Councilman Chandler stated he aqreed that there was a difference
between an apartment house and a motel; b~t in his opinion, the greatest
difference is not whether or not they have a kitchen, but whether they are
~n an area designed for commercial use, or in an area designed for multiple
family residential. He further stated that the City of Anaheim and the
Visitors and Convention Bureau are involved in endeavoring to attract
conventions to this City; however, on this particular point, if the Visitors
and Convention Bureau would like to discuss policy with the City Council,
he as a member would favor such a meeting.
~qr. Joseph Geisler, Assistant City Attorney, reported on the
definition of a motel, as contained in the Anaheim Municipal Code, and
advised that this application would comply.
.~.,~r. Frank ~osell, 815 West Katella Avenue, of the Heidi Motel,
stated in the winter months he had no business~ and in his opinion, there
were beginning to be too many motels and apartments in the City of Anaheim.
~ ~n~ ~rter, 2740 West Lincoln Avenue, felt that a r v
should be t
· the Code whereb .......... p o ision
furni , ¥ d mucez would be required to
otherSh daily maid service. He stated that this is a requirement in many
c~tzes, and these developments operatzng nzne months as apartments,
and three months as motels, are ruining the business.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 26~ 1962, 3:00 P.M.
Mrs. Hightower (Jack and Jill Motel) reported that the Anaheim
Disneyland area is acquiring a bad reputation, because these units formerly
rented on a weekly or monthly basis are now being rented on a daily basis,
without having been properly cleaned.
Councilman Krein pointed out, from the testimony received, that
some of the present motels have abandoned a portion of their kitchen
facilities, which to him would indicate that the people were not necessarily
interested in kitchenettes.
Mr. Horman gave an illustration of a motel with all kitchen units,
and the pattern of transition from the tourist trade to permanent residences.
To him, a motel built with all kitchen units is for permanent occupants, and
are sub-standard apartments; that in most cases, they want kitchens in every
unit so <ha't an apartment house loan can be obtained. He stated that he and
· the enti::e group o~pose %hose establishments calling themselves motels, which
are bull; below the standards of apartments, and will operate that way; and
that their objections are based on the past records of those so built.
~Ja'yor Coons asked if the objections were to the unit, as con-
st-,a~t_d, or 'the length of tenancy established.
Mr. Norman stated he personally would not rent a kitchen unit to
a £amily fora ion9 period of time.
Councilman Dutton~ in agreement with Councilman Chandler, felt it
would r>e ~veil for the group to meet with the City Council to consider the
prese?.: Code and any suggested amendments.
Wrs~ I.,~on2ca Lomnardo, 503 West Vermont Avenue, advised that they
operated a motel-apar-tmer~-[, and assured 'the Council that they were cleaned
ever?, da?~
Wro Knisely~ in rebuttal, noted the difference between a commercial
mo±el, and those built on Kateila Avenue strictly because of the Disneyland
Park. Regarding too many mo[els, he felt it was everyone's right to start
a business,. He also stated from personal knowledge, he knew that the motels
rer. t on a weekly or monthly basis up to 'the month of May, and then their
daily rates are applied, In his opinion, the true issue was, free enter-
prise a~d the right o~ competition.
f~ayor Coons asked if anyone had any additional evidence to submit.
;qr. Lasness, 1126 ~,,'¥es't Ka'hella Avenue, (Skyview Motel) stated he
would not object if the kitchen units were kept to twenty-five percent of
the project.
'I'he Mayor asked if anyone else had anything in addition to offer,
there being no response, declared the hearin9 closed.

VARIANCE NO. 1500 (TRACT NO. 4614): Mr. Melt McCoy, 1568 West Lincoln Avenue,
agent for Larrabee, builders of twenty-six apartment buildings, Tract No.
4614, located on State College Boulevard, south of the Riverside Freeway,
reported '[hat a mistake was made resulting in one of the two-story buildings
encroaching eighteen feet within the 150 foot limitations between R-3 and
R-1 zones, contrary to Code requirements. He explained that a variance was
submitted to and granted by 'the City Planning Commission at their meeting
of June 25, 1962, and would like to know if the Council would review the
action of the City Planning Commission, and if the stop order could be
lifted at this time, so that the project could proceed.
Mz., Kreidt advised that the Planning Commission granted the
variance~ subject to the requirement of' a wall.
Mr. Joseph Geisler, Assistant City Attorney, explained that the
building was presently framed and roofed, and that there is a great
difference of approximately two feet or four feet between the R-3 property
and the abutting R-l; that the people who appeared did not object to the
eighteen foot encroachment, bu'[ requested the wall be higher to afford
-[hem adequate protection. He fur[her advised that the developer agreed
and stipulated in the action to construct a six foot wall on the adjacent
P operw; however, they did not wish to proceed if the Council contemplated
a hearing on the mat[er.
Mr. McCoy stated the developer agrees to take full responsibility
recognizing the risk involved, but felt inasmuch as the buildin9 is fr~ed
and roofed, and is now ready for plastering, the cost of tearing the building
down would not be much greater if 'they proceeded. Ne further explained
that the stop o~der was holdinq up their funds, as the loan agreement
provides for release of funds ~t certain stages, and the entire tract must
be in the same stage of construction.
~urther discussion was held; at the conclusion thereof, it being
fully understood 'that ~he City Council would not relinquish their right of
review, and subject to the filing of a letter agreeing to assume the risk,
and having no plea of hardship in the event the building is required to be
torn down, the stop order was ordered released until the matter is finally
resolved.
