He also stated that a service station canr.ot expect to increase gas gallonage by giving a free car wash. Mr. Wiseberg's policy is to give a free car wash with a 15-9allon gas purchase. The ~ommission discussed service station standards and the appropriateness of the proposed use. They also discussed the possibility of encroaching upon service station s;.andards by the establishment of a carwash on the service station site. The Commission noted that incidental minor car servicing and washing can be done in a service station, and ihis use (carwash) mignt be considered as servicing. Mr. 'Niseberg requested information as to future plans for duwntown under urban renewal since at present the traffic on Anaheim Boulevard was not sufficient to make a living; he also indicated there was only one major carwash in Buena Park, and no more were allowed in that city; whereas there are about ten in Anaheim at present. ' Mr. H. B. Trant, 300 South Anaheim 3oulevard, operator of the Yhillips station ~cross the street, appeared in opposition. He advised the Commission that since the cnanging of the freeway off-ramp, Anaheim Boulevard did not carry sufficient traffic; tnat noise from operation of tne carwash would be detrimental; tRnt the service station in question already sold gas at a lower price; and that giving free car wash would be an unfair business practice. ~ir. Hart stated the car wash would not ue ;ree. At presrnt the operator of the Guii service station was washing cars in the lubrication bay ond desired to get the operatio:~ into a separate building. He stztFd that a car~vasn was considered a part of auto servicin~, THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.

This home would be a senior citizens guest home - a boarding house for the aged. No medical care would be given. The petitioner advised that, to his knowledge, there is only one home of this type,which is in Tustin. Staff advised that under the General Section of the Code a 15-foot setback is required to pro- vide fire protection and insure an adequate living environment. In discussion the Commission requested the applicant to contir,ue his pet`ition for another four weeks in order to revise plans, since the present plans did not conform to many of the requirements of the Code. The petitioner was advised that although he met some, but net all, of the C-1 Site Development Standards, he did not have a C-1 use, and therefore must meet the standards for a rest home. The petitioner was further advised that the setback and parking problems were such that he should meet with the Assistant Fire Chief and others concerned and work out the problem. They further advised him that because the building would be irhabited 24 hours a day, a 15-foot setback was required. Commissioner Allred asked ihe petitioner if four weeks would be sufficient time to revise plans and received an affirmative reply. Commissioner Herbst offered a motion to continue Petition for ~onditional Use Permit IJo. 931 to the meeting of May 8, 1957. Commissioner ~ulungall seconded the motion. Pl,OTION CARRIEll.

Mr. Charles Lutes, 16b9 West Cerritos, appeared to request irformation about the proposed disposition of the water lines presently on the property. He noted that the main valve for a well is in the center of the property, and surro~nding property owners would be deprived of water service unless some alternative provision wss made, Deputy City Attorney Furman Rooerts advised that if there was an easement for the we11 and water lines, that all construction would have to be governed by the easement. Mrs. Walker advised the Commission and 1~1r.

He requested that the period of time be one year ~`~f ' rather than 180 days due to financing restrictions at present. Associate Planner Jar,k Christofferson reviewed the petition for the Commission, advising them that Variance Vo. 1254 was granted for a 40-unit motel, whereas only 30 units had been constructed, and that proposed plans called for 60 more units to the rear and eastern portion of the property.

Mr. Edward G. Williams, one of tne owners of the pruperty, was present. He obtained the property on January 10, 1967, and shortly thereatter inquired as to re5•.:irements for building. ! He stated that his arcnitect, Rooert Hall, could not Ue present; that he had 'nad several I meetings witn tne Planniny staff and was advised of corrections to ~e mode in ti~e plans; ~ and that the pians are for one-story, two-bedroom units, over 1,200 square feet in size. He was not sure of the distinction between an R-3 development ar.d a planned residFntial development, but his project met the density for an R-3 development. Discussion was held 'oy the ~ommission as to adequate turning radius i~to the garayes, width of driveway, and the access arranyements. Ihe applicant was advised that plans as submitted were not ac~eptab:e as to driveway and access to the garayes. At present cars would be un- able to get into the garageswithout making more than one turn. 9oth the Fire Cnief ond the I~raffic Engineer i~ad viewed plans and stated they were not acceptable without modification. The petitioner advised the Commission that to be economically sound, due to the high price paid for this piece of Froperty, some arrangements had t.o ~e made to secure the greatest use of the property, and something that is rentable and salable in the future and up to date in years to come must be achieved. iJo one appeared in upposition to subject petitio~.

Property presently classified C-1, GENERAL COMMERCIAL, ZOhE. Mr. Jules Sherry, QRS Corporation, representing St. George's Restaurants, appeared and brou9ht two slides of operations in locations to show the Commission. Idr. Sherry further advised the Cortmission this was a rapidly expanding chain of restaurants, with about 20 more to be built in the next few months. He stated that in remodeling the building in question, which }:as a f13L roof structure, a facia was added which is decorative and not an added roof. He further stated that the single-faced sign is r:ally a wal.' sign included on the facia, and the sign would not go above the roof line. The pennar.ts are metal and a-- ~~ spears which resemble medieval-type lances. The siqns zre not excessive in size or in height. The restaurant will ultimately ~ie a franchised operation, although some are company owned. Mr. Gene 3eneke, representative of the architect, ap~eared to advise that the roof was actually a facia. The poles and flags are metal a~d will be well maintained. "'~ one appeared in opposition to subject petition. THE 1-~ARING WAS CLOSED. Deputy City Attorney Furman Roberts furnisiled the ~ommission the definition of "roof" and definition of "parapet" as outlined in ±he Anaheim Municipal Ccde. Due to the pitch of the structure *eferred to by the petitioner as a;acia, it would 'nave to be construed as a roof. He indicated that the spea:s or banners would have to be called signs, and that true banners are only permitted temporarily for a special type event. The Commission discussed the roof sign and free-standin9 signs, noting that the flat roof sign would be permitted as a wail sig~ if the roof were not pitched; however, the free- standing signs (lances) would be too close together and occup~ a fair amount of space separately. l~hey further noted that the Sigr. Ordinance does not allow pennants, and if pennants are more important as rcpresentative of the St. G~-orge's Restaurant, they should be incorporated into the sign and the separate pennants omitted. Commissioner Herbst offered Resolution No. PC67-73 and moved for its passage and adoption, seconded by Commis:ioner Rowlond, to grant in part Petition for Variance tJo. 1868, approving the flat roof sigr. only, and that the waiver for spears and pennants ue denied.

GRAND MARNIER INVESTMENT CONPANY, 415 West 4th Street, Suite D, Tustin, California, Owner; COVINGTON PROTHERS CONSFRUCTION COMPANY, 841 North Harbor Boulevard, Agent; requesting permission to ESTABLISH A 94-UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX~ WITH WAIVERS OF (1) MAXIMUM BUILDING NEIGHT, (2) MINIMUM DWELLING UNIT FLOOR AREA, (3) NiINIMUM PARKING SPACE SIZE, AND (4) TO PERMIT ACCESSORY BUILDINGS TO AB~i PROPERTY LINES IN THE FRONT 75% OF A LOT on property described as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land (approximately 426 feet by 331 feet), the westerly boundary being approximately 234 feet east of the centerline of Euclid Street, the northerly boundary being approximately 650 feet south of the centerline of Broadway, and the easterly boundary being approximately 135 feet west of the centerline of Arden Street. Property presently classified R-A, AGRICJLTURAL, ZONE. Applicant Gared Smith, 2043 West 5th Street, NewporL Beach, appeared to answer quesiions and advised that the petitioners were asking for zero setback in the front setback of the property; that some of the carports would be on the front of the proposed development; and that the project would include some 560-square foot bachelor units. Mr. Smith's client feels there is a need for some moderate priced rental units in the area, and this can only be done by getting higher density, and that more than the required recreational area is furnishedo He advised the Commission that it had been decided to move the cabana 3~- feet away from the street so that car doors would not hit the cabana (no setback for the cabanas is indicated on the plans). The Commission questioned the distance of the rear carpots to some apartments and was informed that every unit is within 200 feet from a carport, which is the Code requirement. The Commis- sion was also advised that the plans were incomplete, and there would be walkways. Mr, S. Becker, 447 Arden St*eet, appeared in opposition. He owns property just to the east of where development is planned, and noted that if there were any children in this 92-unit complex, the school or~ Loara would be crowded. There are many units such as is contemplated to the south and north of Broadway and some use other than a 92-unit apartment complex should be made of this property, and he felt it is too crowded. Mr. Don Lamberth, 453 Arden Street, also appeared in opposition> He indicated he was not opposed ±o apartments, but to the type oi apartment that is suggested - primarily bachelor or single bedroom units would tend to draw a transient type element to the area, whereas other apartments in the area were of high quality and we11 taken care of. Mra Loran Covington, Shc North Harbor Boulevard, petitioner, advised the Commission that location is the tirst important decision to be made in developing any apartment complex. He further stated that a good location is expensive, and that density must be correspond- inglp higher to make it economical; that 1ow density does not necessarily make a development successful. THE NEARING WAS CLUSED. In discussion, Commissioner Rowland stated tiiat he considered the first waiver (building height within 150 feet of R-A property) a technical waiver only; with regard t.o the second waiver (reduced floor area), he advised that the price of the property should not dictate the quality of living environment areas as established by the community - price ~hould dictate only what the petitioner is able to do with it. Certain minimum standards have oeen developed, and in his opinion, a reduction in t.he square footage per dwelling unit area is unwise and unwarrantedo He was not opposed to the third waiver (to permit carports in the front. setback) since the existence of the commercial lots to the front of the property results in no actual front setback, and that garages would normally be backeo up to commer- cial property. Commissioner Gauer inquired about signs, and was advised by "LOning Supervi~or Honald Thompson there would be none. Commissioner Rowland offered Resolution i~o. PC67-74 and moved for its passaye and adoption, seconded by Commissioner Mungall, to grant in part Petition for Variance No. 1869, indicat- `ng 5ections 18.28.050(5-b) ar~d 18.28.060(6-c) for approval, and that the cabanas would b~:~ elocated further from the priva*.e street a;, stipulated by the petitioner.
