MOTION CARRIED. CONDITIONAL USE - PUBLIC HEARING. FIRST AMERICAN TRUST COMPANY, P. 0. Box 267, Santa PERMIT N0. 1115 Ana, California, Owner; HARRY KNISELY, 1741 5outh Euclid Street, Suite B, Anaheim, California, Agent; requesting permission to ESTABLISH A TRAILER PARK on prop~rty described as: A rectangularly shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 19 acres at the southwest corner of Crescent Avenue and Gilbert Street, having approximate frontages of 1,300 feet on Crescent Avenue and 629 feet on Gilbert Street, Property presently classified R-A, AGRICULTURAL, ZONE. Assistant Zoning Supervisor Pat Bro~,~n reviewed the location of subject property, uses established in close proximity, existing zoning and the proposal to establish a 152-space, adult mobile home park. The plans indicate a 20-foot wide, landscaped setback along Gilbert Street, a 17-foot setback along Crescent Avenue, with 8-foot high masonry walls to the rear of these setbacks; an 8-foot masonry wall is also proposed along the west boundary of subject property. Immediately adjacent to the north and west walls, within the interior, a 5-foot wide planter,area is indicated to be planted with trees on 20-foot centers; a 30-foot wide perimeter street is proposed adjacent to these planters. The petitioner has indicated with this street design, the mobile homes will be kepC as far as possible from adjacent R-1 homes; plans show that a chainlink fence is located along the south property line separating subject property from the Orange County Flood Control District channel. A 50-foot wide, divided entranceway from Gilbert Street has been indicated in the central part of the eastern porti,on of the property; emergency fire access only has been shown to Crescent Avenue, which will cause ao apparent problem according to the City Traffic Engineer. Approximately 11.2 trailer spaces per net acre is the density of this proposal. Studies made by the Trailer Coach Association indicate that multiple-family residential areas are most appropriate for the location of mobile home parks rather than in commer- cially or industrially oriented areas. Mr. Harry Knisely, 1741 South Euclid Street, Anaheim, agent for the petitioner, appeared to comment on the application. He noted for the Commission that the property on the General Plan is indicated R-3; Ehat the Orange County F1ood Control channel and City golf course would act as natural buffers for this development. Mr. Bud Nagel, 2432 Glencrest, Anaheim, appeared in opposition. He advised the Commission that in 1955 when he purchased his home, the area Was surrounded by orange groves; that now there is a golf course, two shopping areas, elementary school, junior and senior high schools. The area has been built for residential living; a mobile home dweller has a different type of living, not permanent. He does not believe that the single-family residence is compatible with the mobile home park. Mr. LeRoy Campbell, 2433 Crescent Avenue, Anaheim, appeared in opposition. He and his ne;.ghbors feel the intrusiori of mobile ham~~ parks into residential neighborhoods is not warranted, and requests a 30-day continuanc:e so that the plans and facts may be reviewed. He presented a petition with 49 names reque+sting a postponement. Mr. Robert Leonard, 534 North Hampton Str.eet, appeared in opposition, stating he was concerned with overcrowding of the schools, and requesting information as to what assur- ance property owners have that a mobile home park would be built. Mr. Knisely advised the opponents and the Commission that the park would be an all adult park; the density is less than required under the R-3 zone. Compatibility lies totally in the design; an 8-foot wall, setbacks, planter area and an interior1~ treet. Anyone driving down Crescent would not know wha[ was behind the wall. He ft~rCher stated that statistics indicate a mobile home park dweller lives in a mobile home park longer than an R-1 home dweller, and contributes more to the City in terms of taxes. Coaunissioner Gauer suggested to the public attend:ng the meeting that they visit a good mobile home park, see how it is run; most people who live in an adult park are retired, do not want the responsibilities of a single-family home, Commissioner Camp stated that when the opponents secure the information they desire, after reviewing the plans, that both the applicant and opponents should present their case at a public.hearing; that if opponents request a 30-day extension, it should be granted. ~- : < . ~~ ~ . ~ ~ ~ `~, ;~= MINUTES, Y PLANNING COMMISSION, June 2 69 4537 • . ,;"; CONDITIONAL USE - THE HEARING WAS,CLOSED. ~'''k PERMIT'N0. 1115 (Continued) Commissioner Gauer offered a motion for continuance of Conditional .'

The normal requirement is to require a 6-foot masonry wall around the entire park; however, a chainlink fence could capitalize on the view of the golf course. ~ Al.so, underground utilities must be provided. 'r The Commission suggested that development standards for mobile home parks be reviewed, and Assistant Director Ronald Thompson indicated that a study would be made on site e development standards. . . ~ In voting "no" (second motion), Commis•sioner Camp indicated this was one of the better ~' park plans to come to the Commission. ; ~",,,;', In voting "no" (second motion), Commissioner Farano indicated this was a good park devel- ~.:._.~ F opment; that the Commission should formalize development standards for the treatment of ~' mobile home parks. i ;: ; VARIANCE N0. 2085 - PUBLIC HEARING.

The applicant is proposing 18 R-3 lots, fourplexes on each, three onc-story apartment units in the £ront of each lot, with a fourth unit located over the five carports at the rear and adjacent to the alleys. The developer has indicated that the width of 65.2 feet on 16 of the 18 lots (Code requires 70 feet) would better subdivide the original parcel; that lot areas exceed the Code mir.imum requirements.

Further, at the time the Planning Commission reco~nended approval (.Iune 17, 1968) of Conditional Use Permit No. 1034 which permitted on-sale beer and wine in conjunction with the existing restaurant, the general manager of the Amigos Restaurant stated, "There would be no intent to later request on-sale liquor since no t~ar was incorporated in the plans, and it Was not their intent to sell liquor". Plans submitted indicate a proposed bar area (8.6% of total gross floor area) which will be screened from the main dining area (26% for food preparation, 65% for main dining and counter areas). Mr. Robert Orr, 336 North Central, Glendale, agent for the applicant was present. He advised the Commission that the Amigos Restaurant had no intention of serving liquor at the time the general manager made the original application; that they would still rather not put in liquor. However, this is a new restaurant chain, and in the process of emerg- ing have found that people today consider it a dinner house and want alcoholic beverages, that all six units now in operation are being changed to serve liquor, and that the public in general want on-sale liquor in restaurants. Co~mnissioner Gauer advised the applicant that had the Commission known on-sale liquor would now,be requested, permisaion for establishment of the restaurant would not have been grantad; the coam~unity has not changed, same residents in the area. Mr. Orr atated it is an economic hardship not to serve liquor, that it is possible to become a successful reataurant faster with liquor being served, the quality of food has improved, that it was necessary to make a profit and cater to the wants of the public. In answer Co a query from the Coamiiasion, Mr. Orr advised this would be a regular bar, not a aervice bar, but a bar with atuols. No one appeared in oppoaition to subject petition. THE HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Thom offered Resolution No. PC69-124 and moved for its passage and adoption, seconded by Commiaeioner Gauer, to deny Petition for Conditional Uae Permit No. 1118.

Mrs.'Carla Windaor, 2312 Clifpark Way, appeared in opposition. She stated that they would not have paid so much money for a.single-family home had they been advised apart- ments were to be constructed; further, that as late as March, they were told by Apollo Development that single-family were going on this property. Mr; Dean Moore, 2424 Clifpark Way, appeared in opposition. He indicated that developers to~.d him about a month ago that the property may be developed with apartments.

On.e of the major proposals of the Hill and Canyon General Plan which wss adopted in 1965 was to encourage the establishment of a large number of smaller hillside shopping centera, with emphasis placed upon the convenience of neighborhood shopping facilities located within a sh.ort diatance of most homes. The neighborhood center will require 2 to 3 acres for ita developm.~nt. That in addition to the neighborhood center, one Community Shopping Center is proposed on the Hill and Canyon General Plan, 2. The Hill and Canyon General Plan does not encourage "strip" commercial development along any o£ the circulat~on facilities, particularly along Santa Ana Canyon Road„ Both the State of California and the County of Orange have declared Santa Ana Canyon Road a "scenic highway", 3. The City of Anaheim has approved zequests for commercial zoning on approximately 50 acres along the canyon road (34 acres at Santa Ana Canyon Road and Imperial Highway, and 16 acres at 4]alnut Canyon Road and San•ta Ana Canyon Road). The County of Orange has approved commercial zon£ng on 7 acres immediately west of subject parcels. 4. At the preaent time., both parcela in question have access to Santa Ana Canyon Road. However, according to Exhibit 7 of the study of Accesa ~points along Santa Ana Canyon Road (adopted by the City, County, and State), neither of the parcels will have direct access to this arterial highway when .the property is redeveloped. Access point number 9 is located just wester4y of the two pacc~ls. Therefore, this access poin[ would have to be developed with appropriate internal airculatipn facilities being designed to serve all of the parcela 6etween accesa points 9 a~d 10. Commiasioner Camp offered a motio.n, aecon8ed by Commiasioner Farano, and MOTION CARRIED, to recommend to the City Council that 'xhe Orange County Flanning Commission be urged to deny Orange County Changea of Zone 66-24 and 66-26, since 57 acres of land have already been zoned for commercial purposea along Santa Ana Canyon Road between Imperial Highway and subject parcels, and it won-l,d appear that approval of an additional 7.3 acres would over-saturate the area. Additlanally, the proposal would not be conaiatent with the Hill and Canyon General Plan in that appxoval would eskablish 15 acres of contiguous parcela in the commercial zone, and neither of the parcela will have direct access to Santa Ana Canyon Road when the property ie redeveloped. ITEM N0. 2 InterpreCation of the Siga Ordinance, Zoning Supervisor Charles Roberte dietributed a memorandum to the Planning Commisaion re: Interpretation of the Sign Ordinance,. This diacussion, due to Variance No. 2086, relative to an exiating statue on the Bob's Big Boy restaurant at Euelid and Lincoln Avenue, would be concerned with interpretation by the Planning Commieaion of the Sign Ordinance as it pertaina to trademarka, embleme, atatues, images, aculptures. The Development Services Department has conaidered auch etatuea as being aigns; however, the Commiasion mus.*. decide if thie ie not a aign, but merely a etatue. The only difference between ttiis type of atructure and a aign is it is three-dimensional. For example, the "Standard Oil Man", the iJnion 76 "Ball", the "Big Boy" reetaurant, the three-dimenaional figure is a trademark of the place of buainees, and ahould be considered a aign. It was the concenaus of opinion of the Commisaion that Bob's Big Boy restaurant, having been denied Variance No. 2086, hae the right to appeal this decision. Commisaioner Farano offered a motion, seconded by Commiasioner Camp, that an inter retation be made that auch structures, "statues",be considered signs under our Sign Ordinance.
