Continued from the March 13, 1989, Api•il 10, 1989 and April 24, 1989
Planning Commission meetings.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION N0. PC 89-126
FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE
CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: No one present (Com. Meese read letter of opposition from
Chamber of Commerce)
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Explained access confusion regarding easement to
Rockwell and presented additional documentation, including correspondence
between the City of Anaheim and client. Reviewed minutes and tapes of
2/17/88 PC meeting and there was limited discussion; license agreement
provided 60-day termination clause by both parties. Parcel Map approved.
Met with City Traffic Engineer, Deputy City Attorney, Traffic Engineer
felt termination period should be extended to 365 days rather than 60
days; agreed to extend terms; provided a separate condition worked out
with the City Attorney's Office. Stated there is no intent to terminate
that license agreement provided the conditions are met. Another agreement
is being worked out regarding the east/west access. All types of alcohol
would be served and requested Commission make determination that alcohol
is accessory use in bowling center. Not happy hour type bar, but. drinks
for people who are there to bowl.
COMMISSION CONCERNS: (Messe)- proposed condition ties license agreement
to the bowling alley and it was originally tied to the variance approved
for the lot split in 1988; if approved, operator of bowling alley could
terminate right for trans to traverse the parking lot; concerned about
granting request since conditions of previous action were not met and
questioned if the license agreement would be cancelled if the bowling
center was not approved; something was submitted and was never approved by
the Traffic Engineer or City Attorney and it seems to be an internal
probJ.em; felt if unlicensed vehicles could nut use current access, there
would problems tahich involve the City; bowling alley would bring 60~
outside traffic to industrial area; circulation through very heart of
industrial area, long driveway along an easement shared with industrial
traffic, what direction will industrial area take; Redevelopment
Commission recommended denial; Chamber of Commerce sent letter to City
Council opposing it.

(Carusillo - concerned approval would eliminate industrial land; Council
made change to Code based on Commission's recommendation that they should
~~*> at least have the right to ask; questioned hardship for granting waiver;
that petitioner indicated hardship was prohibitive cost of commercial
property where this use should be located; approval would increase
property value of industrial property, which would affect industrial users
of the future who might want to relocate to that area.
~^eldhaus) indicated not all members of Chamber agreed with opposition
:,.pause of Vision 2000 goal to change some industrial areas to commercial;
City Council sent message by amending Code to permit bowling center in
industrial area; that Rockwell could have purchased property if it was
that critical to their operation; nc one from industrial area opposed
request; suggested hardship could be that property is landlocked.
(Herbst)- why - 1 year, since petitioner has indicated they want to
continue to be a good neighbor; Commission thought easement required ire
connection with approval of previous Variance would be forever; there are
some industrial areas where this use would be suited, bat this is wrong
location; there are some recreational uses in area, but not contiguous;
conflicting traffic; isolated location; possibility of another building on
proper*_y which could be another commercial use; efforts made to protect
integrity of industrial area; property could be used industrially and
industrial property rapidly disappearing; industries leaving area because
of conflicting land uses and we need to protect industrial users who have
been there; plenty of land to provide parking to Code.
~<.
~,_••~ (Bouas)- not adding traffic at peak hour; ideas are changing on land use;
alleviate traffic with bcwlers staying in area; strictly night time
operation; Traffic Engineer has indicated they have adequate parking.
Mr. Lovret, representative from Rockwell indicated Rockwell agrees with
the proposed condition. He explained original agreement with Econolite
had 90-day termination clause; however, when ::hey had to stop using one
access, it took about 9 months to work out alternative, so realize 30 days
or 60 days is not adequate notice. Tried to negotiate with developer
offering compensation for access, but were offered "take or leave it" for
the 60 days. Responded to Com. Carusillo that on a take or leave it
basis, they had to accept the 365 day condition.
OWNER: Property is presently developed as parking lot. No intent to
terminate agreement because of traffic signal and operator of bowling
center wants to continue good relationships with industrialists because of
number o£ employees who might frequent center. Previous agreement was for
30 days and the proposed agreement would be for 365 days. Always knew
location of access would be altered when development of other property
occurs; that the driveway terminates at their northwest corner, currently
access is along southerly property Iine for 80 feet. Current situation
will continue, but they Y;ave made additional cooperative arrangements with
them.
STAFF COMMENTS: Deputy City Attorney asked that a condition be: added with
language that the City's right to enforce Condition No. 9 imposod on the
previously approved Variance (Resolution No. PC 88-59) would not be
waived. Agreement only grants Rockwell right to use driveway and not to
get to their property.
Page 6 May 8, 1989
ACTION: Granted (4-3 (Commissioners Carusillo, Herbst & Messe voting no)
Conditions added that the City's right to enforce Condition No. 9 of
~4=~ Resolution No. PC 88-59 not be waived; and that the License Agreement be
approved }y the City Attorney's Office and City Traffic ingineer and a
copy of the recorded document furnished to the Zoning Division.
Petitioner requested deletion of Condition No. 9. Traffic Engineer stated
the Commission is concerned about parking and do not feel it would be
adequate and there needs to be a mechanism to require the developer to
provide more spaces in the future,tf needed. He stated the condition
should provide assurance that the bowling center, if approved, will have
adequate parking and the study indicated 240 spaces required at certain
times, end suggested the condition should be approved by the City
Attorney's office; petitioner agreed to record a covenant.
Com. Carusillo asked about landscaping the 10-f t. wide area adjacent to
the 91 freeway. Property owner responded there is a strip adjacent to the
freeway and the landscaping meets Code requirements and there is
landscaping through the parking area. Petitioner agreed to bring
landscape plan back to Commission as a Report and Recommendation and the
groperty owner sated the anticipated elevation between the freeway and
finished floor of the building will form a visual impact and there will
enhanced landscaping around the building and there will be a few trees.
Com. Messe questioned the signing and the property owner stated they have
a sign easem4nt from Econolite and that was always a concern, but signs
will be to City Codes and will incorporated into the landscaping, and will
~~ be a low profile monument type sign.

FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE

OPPOSITION: NONE
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Parking study submitted to Traffic Engineer;
industrial office complex built several years ago; explained reference to
banks refers to administrative offices of bank; referred to staff concern
that this would hurt integrity of Stadium Business Center; platinum
triangle focus is on high class commercial office Iya.i.iaing; request is to
add referenced uses as permitted by CUP; project is 4.'""s vacant;
COMMISSION CONCERNS: Did not review parking study; (noted it was just
submitted a few minutes ago and Traffic Engineer has just reviewed it)
Agreed that Conditions 5 and 6 should be deleted. Questioned health
care/research and development (applicant agreed to eliminate); uses
supposed to service industrial area.
STAFF COMMENTS: Traffic Engineer - just read parking study, spaces
counted all day today, units occupied ratio established, report indicates
highest parking use was 2.79 spaces per 1000 of occupied area, and based
on that, there were 65 surplus spaces; some practical loss of parking
space due to extreme number of small car spaces which were developed to
old cedes; seems to be adequate parking spaces.
Infrastructure stu;iy of stadium area did not assume this area would go to
this use. Impact has not been assessed.

OPPOSITION: 1 person present
OPPOSITION CONCERNS: View, tower has been extended 3 or 4 days at a time;
prohibited in scenic corridor; another neighbor directly behind objects;

PETITIONER',i COMMENTS: That they did talk to neighbors within 300'; 85`6
signed that they do not oppose; referred to PRD-1 (Federal Communication
Commission) regarding regulating approval of permits; felt if he has to
remove it, that would be considered selective enforcement; neighbor
opposed is at lower elevation with no windows from which to view tower;
installed 11/87, replacing one that was existing; was extended 3 or 4 days
during a contest; ham radio does provide benefits to community; lived
there 15 years; 100 watts; planted 3 Silver Dollar Euc. trees to screen
tower, they are currently between 10 and 15 feet tall; no practical way to
plant a tree to block Ms. Blum's view; thought additional trees would not
fit in with landscaping; base of tower incorporated into sidewalk;
suggested planting wisteria and building a trellis; his wife would not
want her view `.locked.
COMMISSION CONCERNS: Asked if there is foliage; tower is blatant;
majority of neighbors not opposed; pictures presented by Ms. Blum show
tower is very visible to her and she has been there 1~ years; asked
trees could be planted on Ms. Blum's property; Tinted out area next to
garage where something could be planted to at least screen bottom of
tower; (Herbst) concerned that applicant built 8~'high tower without
chec}:ing to see if permits were necessary and request is "after the fact";
does have some community benefit; but is intrusive to neighbors, and it is
up to applicant to screen the tower; suggested matter be continued so
applicant can revise plans to screen tower with trellis and plants;
suggested line of right from Ms. Blum's property prepared; trellis 3-5'
wide the full height of building.
STAFF COMMENTS: PRD-1 gives Commission latitud~a to reasonably accommodate
request or strict a balance; does not preclude other C':y regulations.

overcrowded; r,:istrust due to grevious property owner's actions; this
project is closer to becoming viable; opposed 3 stories, single-story
residential area currently; condos approved in 1980 were 2 story; felt
negative declaration is not appropriate; questioned Phase II and what

it was just ?pother trick; safety for children; not opposed to condos if
built to Code requirements; handicap access; elevators; compared with
similar project downtown which they felt was like a "war zone"; Smoketree
condos are quiet with one access for 218 units and has no *.raffic or
parking problems; wanted to see floor plans for whole parcel, including
PY.ase II; felt notification should be increased because of Phase 2;
Smoketree built with private street to serve a grouping of homes and
people expected it to remain that way wi.;.h limited access and be a safe
place for their children to play (it ryas noted Willowbrook is a public
right of way).

are located still zoned commercial and a use to Code could go in without
coming to Commission; suggested continuing and readvertising whole
