CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION N0.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE
CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: None
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Did not agree with recommendation of closing
existing southerly driveway on Euclid and westerly driveway on Romneya;
requested keeping both driveways open, but agreed to close driveway
±~ nearest intersection on Romneya, indicated project would not be feasible
if driveway on Euclid was closed. Stated he had not seen traffic
report, that even seeing it would not change the decision that it
doesn't make good business sense to close Euclid driveway. Is existing
service station and did not think proposal would be significant increase
in traffic; and that there are other more intense 4ses on that corner.
Stated could reduce signs to conform to code and could have monument
sign on corner similar to one in Irvine.
COMMISSION COMi~SENTS: How do tankers exit and enter property (applicant
responded they use all four driveways); asked if U turns are allowed and
applicant responded they are allowed; Bouas - felt because of medians in
Euclid and Romneya permitting right turns only, traffic is not a problem
and there is no reason to dose driveways; Hellyer - suggested closing
one driveway on Euclid and keeping one on Romneya open.
STAFF COMMENTS: Traffic Engineering - accident reports not available
because they contain people's names; but collision diagram was shown to
applicant which shows number of accidents at different intersections;
Traffic Engineer concerned about changing this service station to more
intense use because number of cars exiY.ing and entering the site would
increase safety problem; pedestrian was hit directly as a result of the
driveway on Euclid; several accidents at that intersection
ACTION: Continued to 6-4-90 to submit revised plans for signs and to
consider closing one driveway on Euclid.

OPPOSITION COi:CERNS: Inadequate visitor parking; safety, traffic,
Lincoln already congested, numerous accidents, access to Lincoln denied
to other owners In past and one owner had to get access through subject
property for r.v. storage in his own yard (no recorded easement or
covenant); this allows access for 54 units from alley onto Lincoln; 3
stories not compatible with surrounding area; not safe for senior
citizens to walk, having to cross Lincoln; invasion of privacy and
tenants could look into neighbor's back yards; noise would be problem
for seniors from sweeping of the lot across street; parking overflow
into residential area; recreation area to the west could be a noise
problem; density; property values in area would decrease; water shortage.
PETITIONER'S COMDSENTS: 8 parking spaces over Code requirement; adequate
facilities for water; would generate less traffic than an office
building; no windows on north to eliminate invasion of privacy concerns;
recognize one neighbor needs r.v. access, and based on location of
parking lot, stipulated to accommodate Mr. Chambers in moving his r,v.
from time to time; no decrease ii, property values; minimal traffic
increase; noise ordinance could be enforced if sweeping disturbs senior
citizens; recreational area located on west adjacent to single-family
homes includes shuffleboard courts and barbecues; 6-foot high wall
between this facility and adjacent property to west; footprint for 2
stories instead of 3 stories would be same; providing larger units;
office building could be much closer to FMS 7200.

Page No. 8
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Messe - Problem with density, 56 units per acre,
n density bonus at 59~ is severe; Lincoln is heavily traveled; not a
narrow lot; 20-foot landscape buffer ordinance soon to be effective will
impact this project.
Hellyer - Density is a problem; walking access to shopping area is not
safe due to heavy traffic now; problem with height; new ordinance
requiring 20-foot setback is to protect single-family homes
Bouas - agreed density too high, concerned about access through
residential area, not right place for senior's project of this magnitude.
STAFF COMMENTS: Redevelopment - Concerned about density, original plan
vaas for 2 stories, 42 units, density bonus of 59~, affordable increase
to 29~ or 24 units designated as affordable - staff does not want to see
standards lowered for affordability.
ACTION: Continued to 7-1-90 in order to be readvertised and revised
plans to be submitted to include 20-foot wide buffer.

OPPOSITION: None
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Asked that Condition No. 7 be deleted, requiring
covenant be recorded agreeing not to contest undergrounding of utilities
assessment district; Cond. No. 11 prohibiting fast food uses, ana. asked
that be deleted because they would have to come back if they wanted any
use that did not conform to ttie parking and did not want fast foods
specifically mentioned, and would prefer code govern it. Requested
Condition No. 18 be modified to deleted reference to existing sign since
there is a sign existing which does not comply with the Code. Thought
Condition Nos. 18 and 19 are combined.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Condition prohibiting fast foods gives notice that
additional parking would be required since that is the most common
request.
STAFF COMMENTS: Attorney - explained covenant agreeing not to contest
formation of assessment district to underground utilities would be
similar to one required in stadium area and the property oamer could
contest every other element of the district, such as the amount, etc.

'ass.,.' FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE
+ CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: None
1 person present in favor
1 letter was submitted
1 interested person in future development plans
INTERESTED PUBLIC CONCERNS: Suggested the area east of Empire, west of
Agate all along Juno where the church and apartments are located be
included in this change. One person asked if there are any known plans
for development in the area and if there was, would neighbors be
notified if it met all requirements.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: That area would have to be reviewed under a
separate hearing after being readvertised. Not aware of any development
plans at this time. If property is rezoned and a project meets the
Zoning requirements, it could be de3eloped without coming before
Commission; however, anything other than a single family home would
require a zone change so there would be a public hearing.
McBurney - thought the line through properties along Brookhurst should
be adjusted easterly to fall on the property lines so the front portion
would not be different zoning than the rear portion.
„.:, STAFF COMMENTS: Church property was rezoned to RM 2400 subsequent to
~~,~J approval of the apartment complex. General Plan designation is still
medium density. Could eliminate those properties along Brookhurst from
this GPA and consider those properties at another public hearing.
Exhibit A would be amended to reflect conformance with property lines.
ACTION: Approved GPA
Exhibit A amended, deleting properties fronting on Brookhurst
Granted Reclassification to RM-2400
Instructed staff to initiate GPA proceedings for those
properties fronting on Brookhurst for commercial, and also
instructed staff to initiate GPA proceedings for that area on
Juno, east of Empire, west of Agate and north of Ball Road,
and that these GPA public hearings before the City Council be
scheduled at the same time..

PUBLIC INPUT:
`,'~~; A. Two people present indicated concern about development of additional
units in the downtown area with many single-family property owners

causing the area to deteriorate, adding parking and traffic problems
and increase population.
Planning Commission instructed staff to present a report for their
review showing what changes have occurred in the area fron~ Anaheim
Boulevard to the railroad tracks and from La Palma to downtown,
possibly Cypress, since the rezoning under Reclassification No.
87-88-45 and General Plan Amendment No. 227 were adopted
approximately three years ago
B. Commission discussed a need for a new ordinance relating to signage
for the entire city and instructed staff to present standards and
guidelines for a monument signage program for the balance of the city
similar is what is being proposed in the Commercial Recreation area
for their review and consideration prior to possibly requesting a
draft ordinance.
