PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 115 AND THE PRECISE ALIGNMENT OF WEST STREET: Initiated by the City Planning Commission, to consider an amend- ment to the Anaheim General Plan Circulation Element, changing the classi- fication of West Street from approximately 122 feet north of Hampshire Avenue, south to Cerritos Avenue, from a Secondary to a Major Highway; further to consider the proposed realignment of West Street north and south of Ball Road. 69-344 .City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES June l0t 1969, 1:30 P.M. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC69- 114, recommended approval of said General Plan Amendment in accordance with Alternate "A", extending from the existing right-of-way of West Street, approximately 122 feet north of the centerline of Hampshire Avenue, south- westerly across Flore Street to a line with the existing location of West Street on the south side of Ball Road. The City Clerk noted receipt of correspondence from Mr. H.H. Gaines, 899 South West Street, received June 6, 1969, proposing considera- tion of a new Alternate "C", and requesting further study before any pre- cise alignment is adopted. Mayor Clark indicated he did not wish to make a decision on the precise alignment until the Staff had an opportunity to analyze "C"; the Council concurred. Mr. Thompson outlined the proposed General Plan Amendment, noting that the designation of West Street as a major highway would require re- alignment of either that portion of West Street, immediately to the north of Ball Road, (Alternate "A"), or that portion immediately to the south of Ball Road, (Alternate "B"). He called attention to an aerial photograph of the subject area taken several years ago which was studied by the City Engineer, the Devel- opment Services Department, and the Citizens Capital Improvements Committee, all of which recommended realignment for better traffic circulation. He reported future traffic predictions, furnished by the Traffic Engineer, for this area, noting that by 1975 it is estimated that Harbor Boulevard will have to carry 20,000 vehicles per day above its projected capacity. He noted that a portion of the study area is in the Commercial- Recreational Zone, and if development takes place it could force the elimi- nation of one of the alternate alignments by reason of economics; further, the property owners in the subject area wanted to know what the City's plans were so that they may plan accordingly. Mayor Clark asked how long it would take to prepare an analysis of the newly-proposed Alternate "C". The City Engineer indicated a mini- mum of one month would be necessary to compile a similar report on a new alternate. Councilman Pebley felt that the City Planning Commission should. review any new proposal, as it may alter their recommendation. Mr. Thompson noted that Alternate "C" would involve a realign- ment north of Ball Road, as would Alternate "A", which was recommended by the City Planning Commission. He therefore recommended the City Council consider approving the General Plan Amendment as recommended, and defer consideration of the Precise Alignment of West Street,pending further study. The City Manager reported there was no provision for the acqusJ- tion of property for the rea]ignment..ofWest Street in the 1969-70 Budget, and that if a determination of the precise alignment is made within the next few weeks, the City Council may wish to consider this in the Budget Hearing on June 24, 1969. He felt it was the obligation of the City to provide at least for those cases where it would be a hardship to the pro- perty owner to defer purchase of the property. He felt that most of the residents would want to remain in their homes until such time as the open- ing of the street is essential. It was his opinion that the City Planning Commission did not feel an urgency existed to warrant beginning construc- tion immediately; however, they felt a plan was needed to guide future development in the area. Discussion was held regarding the possibility of County parti- cipation in the project, and the City Engineer advised that this questio~ could not be answered definitively until more information is available, and consultations are held with the County Staff° He noted, however, that the County participation could not exceed 50% of the total cost. 69-345 City Hall, Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 10p 1969~ 1:30 P.Mo Mr. Maddox reported that the State Division of Highways has been studying the possibility of widening the Freeway for several years, however, no decision has been reached. He noted that an overcrossing would be rather an expensive project, costing approximately $5,000,000.00, and normally we would provide the necessary right-of-way and runways, with the State provid- ing the bridge structure over the Freeway and the ramps. The impact of the classification of West Street as a major high- way on those living north of the study area was discussed, and Mr. Thompson indicated that the subject proposal would not affect that area at this time as it would not influence any future determination of how Freeway connec- tions would be accomplished. He felt that the next two phases to be con- sidered should be an interchange with the Santa Aha Freeway and a connection with the Center City Area. It was noted by the City Council that the provision of additional Freeway ramps in the area would relieve traffic congestion at the Harbor Boulevard off-ramp. Mayor Clark asked if anyone wished to address the City Council. Mr. Norman Smedegaard, Attorney, 401 West Eight Street, Santa Aha, addressed the City Council on behalf of the owners of a total of 26 acres of land, most of which lies south of Ball Road, who oppose the adoption of the precise alignment proposed in Alternate "B". He noted the location of these parcels on a map posted, and called attention to a parcel which is planned for development, noting Alternate "B" would split it into two separate par- cels. He felt that Alternate "B" was not at all feasible, and submitted a "Vote Tally" indicating the relative merits of the two alternates, with "A" receiving 12 votes, and "B" receiving none. Mrs. Smedegaard called attention to the petition contained in the file in opposition to Alternate "B" and in support of Alternate "A", and re- quested that the City Council take action indicating Alternate "B" has been removed from consideration, so that his clients may proceed, with development. Mayor Clark asked if anyone else present wished to address the City Council in opposition to Alternate "B"o Mrs. Chaplin, of the Stardust Motel, spoke in opposition to both Alternate "A" and "B", as either one would pass by her property, and she felt the traffic noise would be detrimental to her business. Mr. David Collins, Realtor, 1077 West Ball Road, spoke in opposi-- tion to Alternate "B", and submitted a fourth alternate for Council consi- deration. He felt that the alignment should not be considered in segments without determining the ultimate alignment of the entire street. He pointed out that a Freeway overcrossing that is on an acute angle is longer and much more expensive than one which crosses at right angles. He suggested that the City consider adding another major thoroughfare, such as the one he proposes, which would provide for good vehicular circulation to all major areas of the City, and ultimately connect with the proposed Metroport. He felt that his proposal, which was depicted on a large aerial photograph posted, would pro- vide the additional circulation needed, parallel to Harbor Boulevard, and would be an ideal place to pioneer a rapid transit system. He urged the Council to first study where the West Street overcrossing would be located before adopting any segment of the precise alignment, as he felt the precise alignment should be predicated on what will ultimately happen north of the Freeway° He further requested that sufficient funds be budgeted to purchase property before any alignment is chosen. He suggested that the City Council adopt a tentative route, such as the State does when adopting a Freeway route, followed by a thorough study of the area. Mro Richard Stevens, Vice-President of the Wrather Corporation, con- curred with the comments and suggestions made by Mr~ Collins. He stated that his organization favored Alternates "A" or "C", as opposed to Alternate "B"; however, he also felt the entire project should be considered before final decision is made. He stated that the Wrather Corporation is acquiring 30 69 -346 .City Hall~ Anaheim~ California COUNCIL MINUTES - June 10~ 1969~ 1:30 P.M. acres of property, south of the Disneyland Hotel, and the development would be influenced by the decision which is made by the City Council. He offered to have architects and members of their staff meet with the City Staff to discuss the long range effect of the precise alignment. Mr. Lo Frank Kellogg, 530 North West Street, spokesman for resi- dents of West Street north of the Santa Ana Freeway, opposed the construc- tion of a West Street Overpass, as it would destroy the residential integ- rity of that street. He spoke in favor of constructing an additional Free- way off-ramp and favored Mro Collins' proposal to investigate future needs before making final decision on the precise alignment. Mrs.Hightower, of the Jack and Jill Motel, indicated opposition to Alternate "B", as it would take a portion of her property and would increase traffic considerably, noting there were already three traffic signals in the subject area. She felt there should be some plan whereby Freeway traffic coming from the Las Vegas area could more easily gain ac- cess to the Commercial-Recreational Area, as a great deal of business was being lost to Buena Park. MroH.Ho Gaines, 899 South West Street, who submitted Alternate "C" to the City Council, opposed Alternate "A" as it would almost be the complete taking of his property, and also expressed opposition to Alter- nate "B". Mr. Gordon Savage, 920 South Flores Street, stated that he rep- resented some of the property owners in the area. He felt the Alternates had not received the thorough study which they warranted. He stated that the property ~wners who will eventually be displaced could have replaced their homes at a much lower price, with interest at a much lower rate, three years ago when this issue was first considered, and also felt prices and interest rate could be expected to increase even more in the next two years, and that an early decision should be made. He stated if the Coum- cil could guarantee that the ratio of the purchase price to the replacement cost of his home would be equivalent, he would remain for an unlimited time; and felt that funds should be budgeted as soon as possible for the purchase of the property needed by the City° In the discussion which followed, it was determined that Council action would be appropriate to eliminate the consideration of realignment of West Street, south of Ball Road, (proposed in Alternate "B"), and to approve the realignment north of Ball Road, but defer decision of the precise alignment, pending further study. The Mayor felt that sufficient evidence had been received from those present, and thereupon declared the hearing closed. RESOLUTION NO. 69R-340: Councilman Pebley offered Resolution No. 69R- 340 for adoption, approving General Plan Amendment No. 115 in accordance with Exhibit "A". ' Refer to Resolution Book.

Councilman Pebley moved to continue hearing on the Precise Align- ment of West Street, and refer the matter back to the City Planning Com- mission for further study and recommendations on Alternates "A", "C", and "D", and any other that may be submitted in conformance with General Plan Amendment No. 115. Further, public'hearing before the City CounCil be re- adyertised and scheduled as soon as possible after receipt of City Planning Commission recon~hendations. Councilman Schutte seconded the motion. MDTION CARRIED. By general consent of the City Council, Amendment of Resolution Noo 67R-376 to delete a portion of West Street from the Table of Exceptions was deferred, pending decision on the Precise Alignment. PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 2082: Submitted by Betz Corporation, to establish a 6-story office building and 2-story parking structure, with waivers of maximum building height, minimum number of required parking stalls, and minimum acceptable trash collection areas; C-1 zoned property, located at the northwest corner of Euclid Street and Westmont Drive. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC69- 94, denied said variance. Appeal from action taken by the Planning Commission was filed by Sheldon L. Pollack Corporation, and public hearing scheduled this date. Mr. Roberts described the location of the subject property, the existing uses and zoning in the immediate area, and reported the findings of the City Planning Commission, noting that Area Development Plan No. 3 designated the R-1 lots west of the alley for development in conjunction with the parcels on Euclid Street. He reported that the Applicants recently indicated they were ac- quiring additional residential parcels, west of the alley, for incorpora- tion with the subject development. He noted that it would be necessary to file application for appropriate commercial zoning on these parcels, if they were acquired. Mayor Clark asked if the Applicant wished to address the City Council° Mr. Sheldon Pollack, 3344 South La Cienega, Los Angeles, Author- ized Agent of the Applicant, reported that the original plans submitted were for a 6-story building; that a subsequent revision was made to 5 stor- ies, since the City Planning Commission hearing, and 4, R-1 lots t~ the-.west of the alley were acquired; that if C-O zoning were applied to these four additional lots, a variance would not be required to build to 5 stories; that parking requirements would be met and building would abut commercial zoning~ Mr. Pollack stated he believed one more lot could be obtained to provide commercial zoning on the entire block; that in that event a parking ratio of 3.75 to 1 could be provided, noting that the Code requires 2 to 1 parking, but pointed out that a portion of this would be corporate parking for a bank~ He requested an expression of intent from the City Council that if the additional lot is acquired a 6-story structure with a decreased ratio of parking will be approved~ On recommendation of the City Attorney~ no expression of intent was given, pending public hearing and recommendations of the City Planning Commission on recla£sification of the R-1 lots and revised plans. Mr° Roberts reported that although filing deadline had passed, if necessary documents were received by the next day, the Planning Commis- sion public hearing could be advertised and held June 30, 1969o On motion by Councilman Krein, seconded by Councilman Dutton, pub- lic hearing on Variance No. 2082 was continued to the City Council meeting of July 22, 1969, to allow for further recommendations of the City Planning Commission, and will be considered in conjunction with reclassification of properties to the west of the alley. MO~iON CARRIED. 69-348 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 10~ 1969, 1:30 P.M. Mr. R.E. Rogers, 516 Fairhaven Drive, questioned the statement made by Mr. Pollack regarding ownership of the R-1 lots, stating that he is the owner of one of the lots in question, having signed only a listing for the sale of the property. Mr. Robert Corrigan, Realtor, indicated he was responsible for assembling the properties tot the we~t, having 5 lots on~e±ther exclusive listing or option~ ~which Dhe purchaser is interested i~ acquiring~ p~6vid- ing their development is approved, and will enter into escrow, when a rul- ing is made on the zoning. Council discussion ensued regarding the status of ownership, as it relates to the reclassification of the residential property, and it was determined that zoning could be granted, subject to the acquisition of the necessary lots by the developer° PUBLIC HEARING - VARIANCE NO. 2089: Submitted by Security Title Company, to establish a 10-story office structure, with waiver of off-street parking, on R-3 zoned property consisting of an entire City block with frontages on Harbor Boulevard, Broadway, Helena Street and Elm Street, (Resolution of Intent No. 66R-26, to zone C-O - 65-66-62). The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC69- 109, granted said variance, subject to the following conditions: 1. That this variance is granted subject to the completion of Reclassification No. 65-66-62. 2. That trash storage areas shall be provided in accordance with approved plans on file with the office of the Director of Public Works. 3. That fire hydrants shall be installed as required and deter- mined to be necessary by the Chief of the Fire Department. 4. That the sidewalks, curbs and gutters shall be removed and/ or reconstructed along Broadway, Helena Street and Elm Street, as required by the City Engineer and in accordance with standard plans and specifica- tions on file in the office of the City Engineer. 5. That any air-conditioning facilities proposed shall be pro- perly shielded from view, and the sound shall be buffered from adjacent residential homes. 6o That any parking area lighting shall be lighted with down- lighting a maximum 6-feet in height and shall be directed away from the property lines to protect the residential integrity of the area. 7. That a bond in an amount and form satisfactory to the City of Anaheim shall be posted with the City to guarantee construction of a 5th story, if within 30-36 months after issuance of a Building Permit the City, upon review of the parking situation around subject property, determines that additional parking in conformance with parking require- ments of the C-O, Commercial Office, Zone should be provided. 8. That the petitioner shall provide employee parking, either on-site or off-street parking within 750 feet of subject property. 9. That Condition Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, above mentioned, shall be complied with prior to final building and zoning inspections. 10o That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim, marked Exhibit Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, amd 6, provided however~ that the pro- posed parking structure foundation shall be adequate to support a 5-story structure. Appeal from action taken by the City Planning Commission was filed by Russell Mc Cabe, Authorized Agent of the Petitioner. Councilman Krein requested the record to show that he did not participate in the discussion nor vote on this issue, and thereupon left the Council Chambers.at 3:15 P.M. 69-349 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - June 10~ 1969~ 1:30 PoM. Mr. Roberts briefly described the location of the subject property, the surrounding land uses, and noted that the Applicant wished to appeal Con- dition Nos 7, however, has stipulated as to the required specifications for the parking structure foundations contained in Condition NOo 10. He related that the Staff has had additional discussions, rela- tive to parking and circulation and, as a result, recommends that Condition No° 4 of the City Planning Commission Resolution be amended to strike out the words "be constructed" and insert "relocated," in order to provide ad- ditional roadway needed to improve traffic circulation. Present roadway was noted to be a 16-foot half-width, whereas a 20-foot half-width should be provided, with the City and developer to share the cost of improvement in accordance with City policy. The Staff further recommended that no park- ing be allowed on the west side of Helena Street, and the north side of Elm Street, due to the numerous entrances and exits along those streets. Mr. Thompson reported that the Development Services Department had recently completed a study of parking requirements in the Commercial Zone, which were adopted in 1965. Results of the study revealed that re- quirements could be lowered slightly to require 1 space per 250 square feet of 75% of the gross floor area. He reported that the recommendation for revision of the Code would be presented to the City Planning Commission in the very near future; and noted that the parking proposed by the Applicant conforms with the recom- mendations that will be made; therefore, it appears that Condition Noo 7, and the last portion of Condition No° 10 would not be necessary if the Code is changed accordingly° Councilman Pebley left the Council Chambers, 3:20 PoMo Mayor Clark asked if the Applicant's Agent was present and agreed with the foregoing recommendations. Mr. Russell Mc Cabe, 3550 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona, indicated that he concurred with the recommendations outlined by Mr. Thomp- son, but noted that the Applicant is willing to comply with the require- ment outlined in Condition No. 10, as it would be in their best interest. He requested that action be taken which would allow construction to begin before the Amendment to the Zoning Code has been completed. Councilman Pebley returned to the Council Chambers, 3:30 P.M. The Mayor asked if anyone else, either favoring or opposing said variance, wished to address the Council. Hearing no response, declared t~e hearing closed. RESOLUTION NO. 69R-334: Councilman Dutton offered Resolution NOo 69R-334, granting Variance NOo 2089, subject to the conditions recommended by the City Planning Commission, amending Condition No. 4 and deleting Condition No~ 7, as recommended by Mro Thompson and agreed to by Applicant's Agent.

PC69-116: Recommending to the City Coun- cil that the Orange County Assessor be requested and urged to give recogni- tion and tax relief to owners of large parcels, zoned or projected for M-1 zoning, used for agricultural purposes; said relief to be in effect until actually developed for M-1 use, was submitted. The above matters were reviewed and no further action taken by the City Council. VARIANCE NO. 2086: Submitted by Big Boy Euclid, Incorporated, to permit ap. existing statue as a free-standing sign in conjunction with an existing rea- taurant, with waiver of number of free-standing signs, location, and mini- mum height; property zoned C-i, located south and west of the southwest cor- ner of Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Street. The City Planning Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. PC69-105, denied said variance. INTERPRETATION - SIGN ORDINANCE: Mr. Charles Roberts advised the basis on which Variance No. 2086 was denied by the City Planning Commission, noting that the City Planning Commission did not then construe this emblem to be a sign, and had the statue been placed under the roof of the existing struc- ture, in the main entrance area, it would be technically considered as lo- cated within the structure. Mr. Roberts further advised that since the action taken on subject variance, and resulting from discussions and recommendations obtained from the City Attorney's office, the City Planning Commission has found that this particular emblem, and any other similar emblem, should be construed as a sign and not a statue. Mr. Roberts advised that the Staff in interpreting the definitions of the Sign Ordinance had always felt that any structure, not a part of the building, directing attention to business, commodities, services, etc., would be technically a sign; that if the structures were not considered signs there would be no control over the size, location and number constructed. Slides of other emblems were shown, among them was a Standard Oil_ Man at Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue, a large steer on a wholesale meat establishment, a large rooster, covered wagon, and others. Mr. Geisler recommended that the City Council set this matter for public hearing and felt that the Staff, and now City Planning Commission's interpretation that these three-dimensional advertising structures were in fact signs,and should come under the provisions of the Sign Ordinance, was correct. 69-352 City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES June 10~ 1969~ 1:30 P.M. Councilman Krein noted that in many cases these emblems were trademarks, and thereupon requested the City Clerk to schedule Variance No. 2086 for public hearing before the City Council, on the first avail- able date. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 1114: Submitted by William Harmatz and William Shoemaker, to establish a 74-space "Mobile Motel," on property presently zoned C-R, located generally at tha southeast corner of Ball Road and Walnut Street, was granted by the City Planning Commission, subject to conditions, pursuant to Resolution No. PC69-108.

It was also felt it would be out of order to single out one park from the overall system and consider a spec- ial request that would not be extended to other parks; that under these circumstances, to schedule such a request would serve no purpose. The City Clerk was instructed to advise Mr. Joseph A. Conrad, Chairman, Sage Park Citizens' Committee, accordingly. {TANDING WATER - STATE COLLEGE BOULEVARD AND LINCOLN AVENUE: Poem, setting forth complaint regarding water standing at the intersection of State College Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue, submitted by Mrs. Dan Hanshew, was read and ordered referred to the Director of Public Works for investigation and ra- port. kPPOINTMENT - PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION: On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Krein, Mr. Dan Rowland was reappointed member of the Park and Recreation Commission, as City Planning Commission represen- tative, for the term ending June 30, 1973.
