WHEREAS, the City Council un Iday 21, 1968, approved Area Development Plan No. 94,
Alternate "B" establishing a circulation system for properties located on the south
side of Ball Road for a depth of approximately 660 feet, extendina between Sunhist
Street on the east and State Coliege Boulevard on the v;est; and
VJHEREAS, said exhibit depicted an east-r:es'. street, 50 feet in width and located
aporoximately 660 feet south of the centerline t° Ball Road, er.tendina westerly from
the proposed alignment of Sunkist Street and cul•de-sarino at Ss_ate College Boulevard;
and
~9HEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon considerinq at oublic hearina a reclassi-
fication request for an 8.6 acre parcel in the area designated as being appropriate for
- mediur~ density reyidential uses, wherein the oetitioner was not pronosing to inciude
the extension of the east-west street vaester;y of Belhaveii Street as r~quired '_n Area
Development P1an No. 94, dire~ted that the area develon:~ent nlan be readvertised for
; a public hearing, and the staff prepare and present r~ossible a]ternatives and rec-
ommendations; and
WHEkEAS, the City Planning Commission did i~old a public hearino in the City Hall
in the City of Ananeim on December 29, 1969 at 2:00 0'clock P.;~;., notice of said
public nearino havinn been duly aiven as required 'oy lav, ano ir. accoroance eaith the
provisions of the Anaheim P:lunicipal Code, to neai and consider evioence for and aoainst
said proposed Area Development Plan, ano to investiaate and rnaE:e findings and recommenda-
tions in connection therev~ith; and
i
WHEREAS, sa,id Commissior., after due insoection, investioa:ion~ and study made by
itself and in its~ behalf and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered
~, said hearing, does find and determine the follo~ainq facts:
1. That Alternate "I" would be essentially the same desiqn as that orioinally
adonted and };novan as Al±ernate "B" in Area Development Plan No. 94, except
that the east-~vest street (Omeoa Avenue) would extend through to and inter-
ser.t t•iith State Colleoe Boulevard, rather than terminating in a cul-dE-sac,
thereby offering more direct access to State Colleae Houlevard instead of
diverting all internal traffic to Ball Road or SunE:ist Street.
2. That the Traffic Engineer had indicated a straet intersectina State Colleoe
Boulevard midway betv~een Ball and Winston Roads - a distance of approxi-
mately 660 feet from either street -~vould not be undesirable from a
traffic standpoint; however, left turns from Omeqa Avenue onto State Col'leqe
Boulevard could create minor traffic conflicts zt that point, although a
divider design could be incorporated to alleviate these traffic conflicts.
3. That Alternate "1" would provide the same wailed and landscaped buffer and
transition strin between all the parcels fronting on Ball Road and industrial
uses to the south as required by Alternate "fi", previously adopted by the
City Council.
4. That Alternate "2" proposes to delete tf~e east-west street (Omega Avenue)
west of Belhaven Street and nermit private drives instead of a public street
to accomrnodate ingress and egress for the b.6 acre parcel located immediately
west of Belhaven Street. Belha~~en Street and Ball qoad WOllld then collect
the traffic 4enerated by the develooment of the 8.6 acre site immedia~ely
west of E3elhaven Street, and Ball Road and State Coll.ege Aoulevard vrould
collect traffic generated 'oy the development of the larae parce] at the
southeast corner of Ball Road and State Colleo? Baulevard.

5. That Alternate "2" could acr.o~modate the same v~alled ar.d landscaped buffer
and transition strip bett~aeen residential and industria] uses as reouired
by Alternate "B", previousiy adonted by the Cit~ Council, and as proposed
in P.lternate "1".

6. That zlthough the Traffic Engineer ind',cated that it would not be undesirable
from a traf:ic standpoint for the orooosed east- tivest street (Ornega Avenue)
to fnterseri ~a~ith State Colleqe Boulevard, the Planniiio Corr;mission was of
tn~ opinion that such an intersection ~.vould create a severe traffic hazard,
since the traffic volumes alono State Colleoe Boulevard, even after the
Orange Freev~ay is in ops:atioa, m~ill ir. all lil:elihood exceed tne present
va,lum?s .
. That the original purpose of the east-v;es± street (On;eqa l~venue) ~vas not
only to pxc~v:de for internal vehicular cizcu]ation for tnose prooerties
fronti~g on 9a11 Road, but also intenoed L~ ac:t as an open and landscaped
buffer and tran~ition area between t%,e multiple-family residential uses to
the nortn and inrlus'.:ial uses to the sooth, thereby minimizinq the en~~ironmental
conflicts betsa~een these t•r~o areas. ~
8. 7hat it ie the Plar~ninr. Cor~mi5sion's determination that a system of private
vahicular ar.ressways combined ~;~ith the traffic hanolino capabilities of 5tate
Coll~ege Bo~~levard, Ball Road, and Belhaven Street. can adequately serve the
traffic damar.ds generated by the ultimate developm?nt of tno=_e parcels lyino
i•,esterly .of Be:siaven Street.
`~. That i~t ?~ the rurt,her determination of the P1ann~nq Comr.iission that there
is a definite neeo t0 retain the same nhysi~:a~ separation and buffering
?echnique, betvreen all the parcels frontina on Ball Road and the inoustrial
prorwrties to thA s,auth as cvas reyuired by F.lternate "B", a~~opted by the
City Coun~il, even thouqh a public street is not necessary ~,~~est of Belhaven
Street.
i0. That thF• Con:n~ission has also deter,cined that Cknega Avenue should still be
exter.ded easterl}~ from i'~s nresent terminus to connect vaith Sunkist Street,
in order to ~r,ovide a;ocal circulatioi~ system for all the parcels to the
e~st of 8elh;a~e~z Stieet, and that the same masoniy wall and :andscaping
treaLmPr,t originally .rea~.fr~d by hltcrnate "B" should be employed as each
oarcel deve!oos.

recomrr.end to tl~e Ci ~y Cpar.ci 1 ~f the Ci ty of Anaheirr,, on the bas is of the : oreooing

AND BE 3T FURTHER RESOLVED, that in addition to the site de~,elopment standards
applicable to whatever zoning may be established on the parcels located between State
College Boulevard and E;elhaven Street, and Ball Road and the southeriy boundary of the
area included in Area L~evelopment Plan No. 94, and in keeping with the principle of
maintaining a sufficient buffer or transition area between the parcels fronting on
Ball Road and the industrial properties to the south, that all parcels within the
study area between Belhaven Street and State Coilege Boulevard shall be developed
