RBQASSIPI- PUBLIC HSARING. PSTTTION submitted by BHRT ARNOLD, 211 East Center
CATION Street, Anaheim, California, W, D. PRICHARD, 805 Bast North Street,
;.0. F-56-5'-72 Anaheim; Califbraia, I~LSON H. DICKENSON, 750 North Topeka Street,
eiaaheim, Caiifornia, as Owners, requestiag that the property described
as being the Northeast corner of Orange aud Hast North Streets, be
reclassified from R-1, SINGLB FAMILY RHSIDBNfIAL to R-3, MULTIPLE
FAMILY RBSIDSNfIAL.
This Reciassification was held over from the Meeting of April 22, 1957
and was again considered by the Commission. The appiicant, Bert
Arnold, had presented a sketch showing the proposed reclassification
with the layout of lots and streets. The Dickenson property was left
out of the reclassification also the Pritchard property with the excep-
tion of the 80 foot frontage on North Street next to the railroad
tracks. Mr. Reeves objected to putting R-3 next to the raiiroad tracks
but, in the opinion of che Commission, this was the logical use for this
parcel. It .was suggested by the Commission that Mr. Arnold keep Ywo
Bast lots of his parcel and develop them as R-1 lots. This he agreed
to do. It was also pointed out to some of the property ownfrs to the
Bast that their lots are double frontage, fronting on two streets and
that possibly some time in the future they might decide to cut their
lots in half and have one lot facing ~ach street. TI~ HBARING WAS
CLOSHD,
Upon a motion by CommissionFr Thompsun, seconded by Cowmissioner
Mauerhan, and carried, it was moved by RSSOLUTION N0. 226 - SSRIHS 1956-
57 that Reclassification No. P-56-57-72 be recommended for approvai
to the City Couricil as per map presented, except that the two Hast
lots be kept as R-1, SINGLE PAMILY RBSIDBNfIAL and that R-3, MULTIPLB
PAMILY RBSIDENfIAL deed restrictions be filed,also that a half-street
be iastalled by the applicant as shown on the map. .

VAR7ANCB 1. A bar and rest~urapt immediat~ly.adjacent to the property would de-
N0. T47 depreciate t}te Vaiue of the s'si:diential property.
(~,) 2. That the above t3ar'and restadrant w~ul~ increase traffic and create
a nuisance to ~lie adjacent residential property,
3. That Lot 18 is an inside lot aur'rouniled by Neighborhood Commerciai
- buildiags eacept where it faees on Cenpia Way. The only access to
Lot 18 is hq using the 30 foot ease~ie~nt on Placentia Avenue or
usiag Ceapla Way whicli is inadequabe to handle additional traffic
or parkin$. wittiout being a'n~isaiice to the adjacent residential
property owners.
4. A bar and restaurant on Lnt 18 would increase the traffic and the
danger of bod'ily injury or harm to children and pedestr;ens using
the area. ~
5. The presence 6f~'a bar in a Neighborhaod commercial area de3ra~jes
the commercial area and invites objectionable persons to congregzte
in the area.
6. The use of Lot 18 for a bar and restaurant diminshes the use that
can be made of Lots 16 and 17 which are presentiy vacant.
Thi.s petitioa cotttained 23 names of property owners immed3ately adjoining
the subject property. Mr. Waiter R. Ward, 2019 Sast Cater Street,
appeared before 4he Commission and stated that the residents had bought
in this pazticular area knowing that the property on the corner would
be C-1, and expected that a market for the neighborhoo~ and other similar
uses would be ineorporated on the property. The lots that are presently
vacant aze stiil zoned as C-1 in the area. Mr. Simpson pointed out tha~
there was liquor sold in the area and it was pointed out that such sales
are not consumed on the premises as they would be in a bar. TI~ F~AF.ING
