REGULAR MEETING OF THE ANAHEIM CITY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
MINUTES - JUNE 30, 1988
The regular meeting of the Anaheim City Zoning Administrator was called to
order by Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, at 9:35 a.m., June 30, 1988,
in the Council Chamber.
PRESENT•
Annika M. Santalahti, Zoning Administrator
Lori Duca, Assistant Planner
Pamela Starnes, Secretary
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, explained the procedures for the
meeting and that anyone desiring to speak about matters other than the
agendized items would have the opportunity to be heard at the end of the
meeting.
ITEM N0. 1. CEOA CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION-CLASS 5 (PREVIOUSLY CERTIFIED),
VARIANCE N0. 3795 (READVERTISED)
PUBLIC HEARING: OWNER: FRITZ ROHNER AND TERESA G. ROHNER, 411 S. Mohler
Drive, Anaheim, CA 92807. Subject property is an irregularly-shaped parcel
of land consisting of approximately 0.71 acre located at the southwest corner
of Corto Road and Mohler Drive, having approximate frontages of 200 feet on
the south side of Corto Road and 210 feet on the west side of Mohler Drive and
further described as 411 S. Mohler Drive.
Waiver of minimum side yard setback and deletion of Condition No. 1 of
Decision No. 88-29 pertaining to dedication of an easement for
equestrian/hiking trail purposes to construct a 528 square-foot, 2-story
addition to an existing single-family residence.
No one indicated their presence in opposition and no correspondence was
received.
Teresa Rohner, 411 S. Mohler Drive, said she did not realize at the previous
public hearing that approval was given for seven feet instead of the five feet
she needed. She said she would also like to have Condition No. 1 waived
because Corto Road is a very narrow private road and people currently use it
as an equestrian trail as well as access to their homes.
Ms. Santalahti asked if she had spoken to the Parks & Recreation Department
about the trail and she said no. '
PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED ,

MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, JUNE 30, 1988 Page 2
Ms. Santalahti said she did not have any problem with the change in
dimensions. She said if it had been discussed at the previous hearing she
could have approved it, but since it wasn't, it had to be readvertised in case
there had been someone in attendance at the previous hearing who did not have
a concern at seven feet, but who might have had a concern with five feet.
Ms. Santalahti noted that the equestrain trail is part of the City's General
Plan, and the Parks Department had sent a memo asking that we request the
dedication. However, she said she would modify the wording so that would be
tied into the General Plan and that if the Parks Department decides not to
pursue the trail, then an irrevocable offer of dedication would revert back to
the land owner.
Ms. Santalahti noted this item was Categorically Exempt, as indicated at the
first hearing.
Ms. Santalahti approved this Variance based on the fact that a 5-foot waiver
request was actually the intent of the petitioner rather than 7-foot, and that
the modified request is minimal, amounting to less than 13 linear feet of one
corner of the addition encroaching into the required setback and modifying
Condition No. 1 to read as follows: "That the legal property owner shall make
an irrevocable offer of dedication for a ten (10) foot wide riding and hiking
trail easement as shown on the Equestrian and Hiking Trails Component of the
Anaheim General Plan and as approved by the Parks, Recreation and. Community
Services Department. A copy of the offer of dedication or proof thereof shall
be submitted to the Planning Department."
This decision shall become final unless an appeal to the City Council, in
writing, accompanied by an appeal fee, is filed with the City Clerk within 15
davs of the date of the signing of this decision or unless members of the City
Council shall request to review this decision within said 15 days.
ITEM N0. 2. CEOA CATEGORICAL EXEMPT CLASS 3-A, VARIANCE NO. 3808
PUBLIC HEARING: OWNERS: RONALD F. CIAMPA AND CORALINN J.~CIAMPA, 920 Calle
Venado, Anaheim, CA 92807. AGENT: FRED FABRE', 624 West Wilson, B-1, Costa
Mesa, CA 92627. Subject property is an irregularly-shaped parcel of land
consisting of approximately 2 acres, having a frontage of approximately 233
feet on the south side of Avenida de Santiago having a maximum depth of
approximately 504 feet and being located approximately 800 feet west of the
centerline of Hidden Canyon Road and further described as 6950 East Avenida de
Santiago.
Waiver of maximum structural height to construct a 2-story, 28-foot, 6-inch
high, single-family residence.
No one indicated their presence in opposition and no correspondence was
received.
Fred Fabre, agent for the owner, said that architecturally they needed this
height. He noted that a majority of the adjacent buildings were considerably
higher than their proposal. He said this request would have a minimal affect
on the skyline.
PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED

MINUTES ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, JUNE 30 1988 Page 3
Ms. Santalahti asked if he or the property owners had shown the plans to the
neighbors across Avenida de Santiago, and he said no.
Lori Duca said staff had not received any inquiries regarding this proposal.
Ms. Santalahti noted that the properties to the east and south dropped off
into two gullies. She asked if the graded pad on the property was basically
what the house was going to be built on, and Mr. Fabre' said yes, within six
or 10 inches. Ms. Santalahti said she had estimated that the immediate
neighbor to the west was three to four feet higher, and he said that was
correct. He noted that at the property line, the roof of the proposed
structure would only be nine feet higher relative to the neighbor or the
equivalent of a one story structure.
Ms. Santalahti said staff had indicated on the exhibit, that the portion of
the roof projecting above the 25-foot height limitation was' over an entry way,
and less than 3~ of the total roof area. He said that was correct.
Ms. Santalahti noted this item was Categorically Exempt.
Ms. Santalahti approved this Variance based on the fact that the request was
minimal with only a small portion of the roof area (less than 3~ of the entire
roof) being higher than 25 feet, and that the actual height was only 3.5 feet
higher than Code allowed..
This decision shall become final unless an appeal to the City Council, in
writing, accompanied by an appeal fee, is filed with the City Clerk within 15
davs of the date of the signing of this decision or unless members of the City
Council shall request to review this decision within said 15 days.
ITEM N0. 3 CEOA NEGATIVE DECLARATION, VARIANCE N0. 3813
PUBLIC HEARING: OWNER: FRED HUNTER, 224 East Broadway, Anaheim, CA 92805.
Subject property is a rectangularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of
approximately 0.35 acre located at the southwest corner of Broadway and
Philadelphia Street, having approximate frontages of 120 feet on the south
side of Broadway and 128 feet on the west side of Philadelphia Street and
further described as 224 East Broadway.
Waivers of (a) minimum number of parking spaces and (b) maximum fence height
to construct an 8,245 square-foot commercial/office building.
No one indicated their presence in opposition and no correspondence was
received.
Stan Wise, 1249 E. Imperial Highway Suite D, Placentia., said he was available
to answer any questions the Zoning Administrator might have..
Ms. Santalahti asked if he would describe the fence location. He said the
fence would be on the west property line next to an existing apartment
complex. He said the owner had spoken to the people who own the apartments
and they were in favor of the fence. He noted the reason for the fence was to
prevent the local elements from entering the parking structure.
•
MINUTES ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, JUNE 30, 1988 Paae 4
Ms. Santalahti asked what they were proposing to do with the old building, and
he said it would be relocated.
Mr. Hunter said that he had contacted Max Whales,~who owns the apartments
adjacent to his property and to the rear of his property; Jim Wooden of
Celebrity Theater; Hugo Vasquez, and Jake Underson. He noted he knows all his
neighbors, and no one was in opposition to his proposal. He said the fence
currently between 218 E. Broadway and the apartments is falling down, so the
owner is pleased he is putting up a block wall.
Mr. Hunter said he had one other area of concern and that was with Condition
No. 5. He said he would like to post a bond instead of a cash payment. Ms.
Santalahti said she would be willing to change the wording in order to modify
that Condition to include the possibility of bonding for street improvements.
Ms. Santalahti noted a Negative Declaration was prepared on this project, and
acted on staff's recommendation to approve it.
Ms. Santalahti approved this Variance based on the fact that granting of
waiver (a) would not cause an increase in traffic congestion in the immediate
vicinity nor adversely affect any adjoining land uses; and that granting of
waiver (b) was minimal and that safe vehicular lines-of-sight would be
maintained along the street and alley; and changed Condition No. 5 to read as
follows: "That, as required by the City Engineer, (a) a cash payment shall be
made to the .City of Anaheim for the cost of the removal of existing street
improvements along Broadway and reconstruction/construction of full street
improvements at the ultimate location, or (b) security in the form of a bond,
certificate of deposit or letter of credit shall be posted with the City to
guarantee said reconstruction/construction. Said payment or posting of said
bond shall be made prior to issuance of a building permit."
This decision shall become final unless an appeal to the City Council, in
writing, accompanied by an appeal fee, is filed with the City Clerk within 15
days of the date of the signing of this decision or unless members of the City
Council shall request to review this decision within said 15 days.

No one indicated their presence in opposition and no correspondence was
received. One person indicated his presence in favor.
Amin David, 419 Colt, Anaheim, said he had been asked to represent the
applicant. He said they would like to request that Conditions Nos. 4, 5 and 6
be deleted since Mr. Zidan was not the property owner, and it was an expense
he could not afford. He noted Mr. Zidan was only expanding his existing
business by making use of the vacant unit next door.
Ms. Santalahti said Engineering usually asked for Condition No. 4 when there
was a problem with the existing sidewalks (like cracks in the sidewalk). She
noted that Conditions Nos. 5 & 6 were more to upgrade the property.
Ms. Santalahti asked if Mr. Zidan was able to serve meals in the expanded area
at this time, and Mr. Zidan said yes, however, he would not do so unless he
was granted approval to do so by the Zoning Administrator.,
Ms. Santalahti asked if he had received the final building::inspection, and he
said yes.

PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED:
Ms. Santalahti noted a Negative Declaration was prepared on this project, and
acted on staff's recommendation to approve it.
Ms. Santalahti approved the Conditional Use Permit as requested and eliminated
Conditions Nos. 4, 5 & 6 because the request before her was for expansion of
on-sale beer and wine into an adjacent unit, and that no new construction in
terms of building expansion was involved, and the fact petitioner had gone
through the permitting procedure for expansion into the adjacent unit without
being required to do those site improvements.
This decision shall become final unless an appeal to the City Council, in
writing, accompanied by an appeal fee, is filed with the City Clerk within 15
davs of the date of the signing of this, decision or unless members of the City
Council shall request to review this decision within said 15 days.
