steted they would agree to having an annual ceview befoce the Commieaion until
it ia economicelty feasible to go ahedd wikh the commercial development on the
pcopecty.
Joe Lemmona, 1808 W. Chalet, Anaheim, stated he has owned this property aince
1947 end it wae originally orange grovea and it hae been empty eince 1964t
that after his in-lewa moved out, he tried to lease this ~ro~erty for all
kinda of diffecent uaes and a lot of ueea do conflict with the City's z~ning
1~w. He stated this wi11 be e temporary use for this property and that when
thie operator first moved in, he did have e lot of cars sitting ecound, but he
hae eince cleaned up the property and he believed he will maintein the area.
He pointed out the preveiliny wind ia from the west and the neighbor with the
swimming pool ia to the east so there ahouldn'k be a problem.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commiesioner King atated he could not justify a hardship for granting this
waivet or the findinga required for approval of e conditional use permit.
Commissioner Hecbst pointed out thi~ Action was the reeult of action taken by
the Zoning Code Bnforcement Officecs after receiving complaints and he felt
this was not the place for thia type of use because it does not fit with the
erea and ia not compatible. He atated he does not believe a used car lot
should be allowed at thia location.
Mr. Warren a~ked what would be compatible with the area. Commissioner Herbst
pointed out there are uses which have been allowed acroaa the atreet, etc. and
this area is going through a transition and the Com~ission has recommended
land assembly to pecmit development of aomething compatible with the
nefghbothood.
Mr. warren stated h~ was concerned because the Commission is say~ng thig
property cannot be uaed for thia rpquest and economically, it cannot be used
for anything elae. Commissioner Hecbst poinked out there have been complaints
fcom the neighborhood which indicetea the use does not fit in the area even
though Euclid is a heavily-traveled street and e uaed car lot does not fit
every neighborhood .
~r. Warren atated in his opinion, this use is feasiblej however, tegardless of
what happens, he would like to have a chain link fence permitted because he is
under lease and needs the fence to keep people from coming onto the property.

a~aked if pakrone would have to uae City property to get to the bar- pointing
out her pcoperty is adjecent to Welnut Creek, a~nd the propecky ia zoned
R3-43,000 and is not aoned for commeccial uees. 3he ateted the City should
have adequate liebility insurence with people driving to thie eetabliehment
and using the City's private road which ie Walnut Creek. She eaked if ahe
could use Welnuk Creek for acceas to her bar if ahe put one in.
Annika Santrlahti, AsaistonC Di.rector foc Zoning, responded thet accese will
be taken entirely from 1-naheim Hills Road a~nd ~ccording to the drawinga
aubmitted, they would not ue using Wal-~ut Creek.
Me. Thomas etated ahe hea seen packing along Welnut Cceek Roed and pointed out

etdted the pa~cking spaces are actually on the City-owned pcoperty.
Commissioner Herbst stated e property owner could have qiven an easement to
Che City foc accesa end meintenence dnd stil] own the propecty.
Ms. Thomas stated to her knowledge ehe owns the property to that road. She
stated ahe actually w~nts to develop her property with houaing and having
access alang this road would be much ea~ier,
ChAirman Fry Atnted the concept of this uae would be no different than the
Anaheim Hilla golf course having a b~c on their property, since it ie
City-owned property.
Ma. Thomas atated the principle is the same, but ahe does not want e bar in
the neighborhood and if one is allowed hece, she will put one on her propecty.
Dean Sherec, Aseociate Plannec, atated the proposel befoce the Commiesion
today is to construct a 1702-square foot addition tc the exiatinq tennia club
and they alreaiiy have an ~+pproved conditional us~ pecmit for on-sale alcoholic
bevereges and thfs would simply be an expansion to the exieting clubhouse.

Reqarding the Tratlic Enqineer'~ recomtn~ndation concerninq realignment of the
d~iveway, Mr. Cirigry explsined he did not think ther reslly ne~de to be done
becauae they would have to remove Eucalyptus trees end the tenniv club wae
~hece before the ~-1Phe Beta m~rket end moving the driveway would place it
closer to the eignal and there ere only eb~ut 30 vehiclee per day into thie
facility.
Commiesioner Herbet, McBurney and Chaicmen Fry +~Il agreed that they did not
think the drivew~y ehould be realigned.
Commiaeioner Le Claire stated right now there ia no pcoblem with this tennia
club because there ie not very much treffic, but she would like to aee the
petitioner sign an agreement with the City that they will not cent out the
facilikies for private pdrtiea beceuse then there would be e lot of drinking
and that could cauee problems, eapecially with everyone leaving at once and
with the alignment of the driveway.
Mr. Grigry atated he plana to have a fund-raising function foc Servite High
Schoolt however, he is not renting the fecilities and there will be drinking.
Commissioner Herbst stated the City has a handle because thi+o is allowed by
conditional use pecmft and could be revoked if there are problema.
Jack White auggeated rather than requiring en agreement, khat a candition be
added requiring that certain areas not be rented out.
Annika Santalahti refecred to two similar inatancesa where private clubs were
~pproved with the on-sale of alcoholic bevecages fot cectain activities and in
both instances, the clubs started to rent out their fa~cilities and whe~e the
neighbors did not object before when it was just the club members, they did
object to the large partiea and other things wh~ch were clearly different than
the original intent. She agreed that the City Attorney's recommendation wes
good.
Chairrt~an Fry suggested that the condition read; •That if the facilitiea are
tented to others, no alcoholic beveragea be allowed'.
Annika 3antalahti stated accocding to the tax aeaeseor's recorde, the pcoperty
where the service ro~d is locaCed is owned by ~-naheim Hills, inc~ and if
parking ie going on, khey have not objected and they could poat the property
for 'no packinq' and that Me. Thomas should complain to them.
Mr. Grigry stated he purchased tha property from Anaheim Hills, Inc. ee
stated he wiil not be renting the property, but he does wank to be able to
have special eventa such as the Tommy John chacity evpnt, etc. Ele stated
thoae events are over by 4:00 p.m.s however, he cloaes every night at 10:00
p.m. and on Saturday and Sundays at 7:00 p.m. end that would not be changed.
Commissioner La Claice stated this has been a very nice tennie club and has
not created a lot of 1:raffic and she does not want to endanger the public by
having their members be able to have the bar for their own private perties,
especiAlly because of the location of the drlveway.

them talking, singing and playinq their stereos. He ateted he doea nok feel
it ia feir to the people who own property in the area unless the college can
have better contcol ovec the situation, especially eince theic promiaea in the

then the college should be requi[ed to live by the same Codes And if they are
permitted to have temporary mobilehomes on thei~ property- then he should be
allowed the same privilege.
ErmA McNutt stated during the summer noiae is blasting because their beck
fence is 10 to 12 feet fcom the do[mitory end ahe does not know who they have
there in the summer, but they certainly do not act like Chriatian Students.
She stated her granddaughter end a friend ha~ geen n men sunbathing nude at

that thie achool ie not something they are proud of and she would like to see
some additional fencing added to t.he existing wall because they have no
privacy.
Mr. Urie stated he did not think the atudents are as wild as the neighbors are
saying because they do get a lot of good compliments from a lot of people;
that they have had only 2 children living on the campus that he is aware of;
that they did improve the fence and one neighbor wanted tA keep his chain link
fence so he cauld see out, but they did put in a bcick retaining walls that
the road was used for theic school vehicless however, when they added the
library addikion, they were required to put in perking by the CityJ that they

realizea traffic going back and forth can be a problem and ~he person reterred

Ellswocth Gonce, 9911 Stonybrook Drive, 1-naheim, etsted he is opposed to this

destroy hie privacy; that noise ~com the individual air conditioning unite
would be disturbing all nightt tha~ noise and odora from the kitchen and from
the adjacent parking lot because of motel patcona and incceased traffic would
a]_ao be detrimental. He stated he would also question the need for this m~tel
since other motel operators in thp acea have indicated they do not have full
occupaacy now. He stated he feels this use would decrease his property
v~lue. He etated thece is a 6-fo~t high wall in the rear but it is only 3
feet high in certsin areas because the grade has been raised and he did not
khink it could be added to becauae i.t was not constructed as a retaininc~ wall.

Mary Ellen Poreythe, 2737 w. Skywood Place, Anaheim, stated they want a

using the downstaira facilities with a maximum enrollment of 100 studente and
there is no overlapping of time for the church and preschool uaes.
Jerrel Tighe, 1322 Candlewood, Anaheim, stated his property abuts the church
property and they felt this use would be detrimental to the peace of the areas
that 100 children could poseibly bring 200 cars per dey in and out of the

pceachool activiky
THE PUBLIC HBARING WAS CLOSBD.
Commiseioner King pointed out th~ accesa ~nd location af the proposed pley
eree would be aubject to review end epproval of the Streek Melntenence and
~anitetion Department.
Responding to Commiaeion~r McBurnex as to whethec or not the act~ool would be
expanded in the future, Me. Porsythe explained ahe and her hueband ere
preeenting this idea to the church and rhey are not interested in anything
more then the preschool and she could not answec what the cl~urch plans to Ao.
Responding to Commieaioner Bouas, Ma. Poreythe stated it whuld probably be 1
or 2 yeara before they could reac~. khe meximum enrollment of 100 atudenta.
3he atated they have coneidered the poasibility of bussing the children and
there are two church vane which they miyht be able to use. Commissioner Bouas
ateted buasing would probably allevibte some of the traffic problema.
Commiesioner herbet pointed out the application is made by the church and
Asked if this uae will be separ~te from the church. Ma. Foceythe replied the
church ia making the cequest becauae they have not yet decided if they want to
conduct the preschool themeelvea or leese the property.
Commiesioner Herbat etated he ueed ta live in this area and knows a church on
this property has crused problema for the neighborhoo~ with parking in the
past and he felt this could be a concern because traffic would be trav4~rsing
through reaidential streets, especially with 200 additional vehiclea per dayt
and that the neighbors have learned to live with tbe traffic on Sundays, but
he did not think it should be permittpd every day.
CommiBSioner agreed and stated they cealize, however, thers ia a need for
preschools, but this would cause a lot of tcaffic in thie residential area and
in a~l fairnpa~ to the people in this erea, she did not think it ahould be
pecmitted.
Commieaioner Herbet skated he was als~ concerned because thie might be a
separate businesa and thece are other locations whece thie could be located.
Jack White atated if the church was removed entirely and the propecty
aubdivided for residential use, the Commigaion ahould consider the number of
vehicular trips that could be crea~ed and compare the two and he thought there
would be a greeter number of trips per ddy if the property w~s subdivided.

Commisaioner Herbst stared normally the peraon operating the service station
will da the repair work, but this will be two separate buainesaea and if one
of the buainesaes gr~ws, it could interfere with the other business and
pointed out this is a very small lot. Mr. Al1en stated the service atation ia
a aelf-service operatj~n and people put in their own gas and uauelly drive
away and the beys are juat aitting there and he would anticipate they w~uld
No:k cn 10 vehiclea per day maximum and it is not a big opecation and there
are ~ parking spaces along the wall, so he did not aee a problem.
Chai.rm~n Fry clarified the wock wauld consist of tune-upa and brake work with

Commission^r Herbst atated more An~ more ;~.~h technology businassea are
coming to Orange County and they U~~ require more modern facilities.
However, he wasn't sure emending the Code is tne way to handle it.
Annika Santalahti, Aasietant ~irector foc Zoning, replied there is no
other way to handle it. She pointed out a correction ~n Page 13-a (2) of
the staff report chenging 'CL' to "CO' in the conclus:or~ paragraph. She
stated the initial paragraph of tt~e conclusion refera to d 5-acre site
and explained that figure was simply chosen and could be increased so
that any proposels submitted would ba similar. She atated commercial
office parking requirements are twice as high as a typical industrial
project and the ~pplicant has indicated thpy will be pcepered to provide
the parking required for offir.e uaea so that if the buildings were
modified in the futuce, adequate parking would be provided. ahe
auggested that requirement ah~uld be included.
Ca~~issioner Herbst stated this fite with development plans foc that area
and th~s wvuld create joba in the area where tiier~ will be homes and
shopping.
Chairman Fry strted he likes the co~cept, but not clianging the Code.
Jack Whike, Asaistant City ~ttorney, etated this proposed amendment to
the Code is not to permit it by right but through a conditior.~' use
p~rmit which will give the Commiseion the opportunity to review an
application submitted. He stated the anly way it could be done now is to
determine that it is ~ innovative new use not Eapressly authorized by
Code in any zone and ~ P~anning Director could authorize the filing for
a C.U.P., and staff is recommending that the gcound cules be epelled out
clearly which would make it a condi~ional use for the development of a
certain number of areas requiring a private traffic circulation plan, etc.
The 5-acre minimum was discuaeed and Commissianpr Hezbet ceferred to
industrial sites between .:er.e and San Diego end stated he had no prubl.em
wfth tt,e 5-acre site, as long as the C~mmission nas control.
