Alignment and brake repair facility located at 6081 Ball Road
and read a memorandum dated June 10 indicating the applicant
requested clarification of one of the conditions of approval
for C U P #76-9 He reported that according to the minutes
and tape recording of the meeting of June 17 1976 condition
#31 required a 20 foot setback from Ball Road and reversal of
the floor plan of the building so that the office would be
located closer to Ball Road with the work areas further to the
rear of the property.
Planning Commission Minutes June 16, 1977
COMMISSIONER MULLEN ARRIVED AT 6 53 P M
Mr. Lamm reported that the applicant's interpretation of the
condition was to reverse the floor plan and provide a ten foot
setback or provide a 20 foot setback with the original floor plan
Mr Al Paulsen Chief Neon Sign Company stated if the sign is
lowered in height from 28 to 20 feet it would have to be relocated
to clear the building He agreed to lower the height but asked
that they be able to maintain the sign area of 144 square feet
in order to accommodate the bear logo The Planning Director
stated the staff felt the proposed sign is out of scale and size
with the property and that the 20 foot setback was required by
the conditions of approval
Mr Larry Clark, 8428 Handel, Buena Park, the applicant, stated
their plans show a ten foot setback and a reversal of the floor
plan which is what he felt was required by the Commission He
indicated he signed the letter agreeing to the conditions of
approval The Planning Director stated the conditions in the
letter contained both requirements.
Mr William Bowers, engineer for the project, stated the service
bays will be located about 40 feet from Ball Road which includes
the eight foot parkway and a ten foot setback and reversing the
plan. He stated their impression from last year's meeting was
that the plan was approved for a ten foot setback and reversal
of the floor plan
Mr Clark stated a ten foot setback would give better visibility
to the business and provide more room to develop the rear of
the property He reported there is no standard size for the
bear sign and the facility is not part of a franchise
Commissioners Adler and Partin both felt the sign was oversized
Commissioner Mullen stated he did not feel the Commission's past
action was to require one condition or the other and he stated
he would not object to a ten foot setback since the office will
be near the front of the building He felt the sign was over-
powering for the location.

hearings and he opened the following hearings and continued
them until after discussion of this item

PUBLIC HEARING RE: GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO 77-3 - WALKER
STREET AREA Chairman Van Allen announced that this was the
time and place for the public hearing to consider a proposed
amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan to change
the land use designation of the area generally referred to as
the Walker Street Area, situated easterly of Walker Street and
southerly of Lincoln Avenue from its current designation of
high-density residential and commercial to some other urban use
He opened the hearing and asked for the staff report.

Planning Commission Minutes June 16, 1977
Chairman Van Allen stated the General Plan amendment relates
to the land use of the area and that the traffic condition on
Karen Avenue is not a criteria to determine the appropriate
land use and he requested that comments not be made regarding
the traffic problems
The Planning Director read Staff Report #77-20 dated June 8
outlining staff's recommendations for land use designations
in the Walker Street area and he presented a map showing the
proposed land uses Staff's recommendations were as follows•
1. All properties along both ides of Karen Avenue currently
designated High Density Residential should be reclassi-
fied to Single Family use except for those lots fronting
Walker Street northerly of Karen Avenue
2 The recently constructed single-family subdivision
(Presley tract) generally between Camp Street and Nelson
Street easterly of Graham Street and adjacent to Swain
School should be reclassified to Single Family use
3 The remainder of the area designated for high-density
residential should be reclassified to provide for
maximum densities of development of ten units per acre
4 The commercially designated properties located on the
easterly side of Walker Street between Bishop Street
and Newman Street should be reclassified to the same
medium density residential (maximum ten units per acre)
as is recommended for the adjacent properties
The Planning Director stated that if the Commission approves
the General Plan amendment, the City Council will then hold a
hearing to consider the amendment and if it is approved by the
Council public hearings will be necessary to consider the rezoning
of any of the area In response to Commissioner Friedmann, he
stated if commercial properties along Walker Street are rezoned,
the businesses could remain as non -conforming uses subject to
the amortization provisions of the Zoning Ordinance
Chairman Van Allen asked if anyone in the audience wished to
speak
Mr George Aberisk, 5658 Camp, recommended single-family resi-
dential zoning for both sides of Camp for the entire length He
felt the Presley tract would be penalized by the different zoning
across the street for lower priced duplex housing
Ms. Joan Roberts 5664 Camp strongly suggested that Camp be
zoned single-family as well as Newman and Nelson She felt if
these areas are zoned multiple -family, the lots will be too
expensive for duplexes and the trend may be to leave the old
dwellings and construct small apartments at the rear. She felt
this would result in a low rent area which would provide housing
for the college students and the area may deteriorate
Mr Sam Beatty, 3362 Huntley Drive, Los Alamitos, part owner of
two lots at 5601 Karen stated they plan to build two duplexes
on the lots which will be attractive and upgrade the neighborhood
He stated they proposed units of 1400 square feet with the garage
at the rear ample parking, easy access and 40% lot coverage
Mr Greg Reddick, 5542 Karen, felt Karen should not be singled
out for single-family residential He stated the lots are large
and single-family zoning is inappropriate He felt duplex devel-
opment would be acceptable especially if ample parking is provided
Mr Dan Trower, 5561 Karen, felt the zoning should remain multi-
ple -family residential on Karen with no reduction in density
4-
Planning Commission Minutes June 16 1977
Mr Bill Weiss, 5532 Karen, stated he agreed with the two previous
speakers and zoning on Karen should remain as is, or a lower
density, but not single-family residential
Mr Sal Onetto, 9441 Downey Circle, Westminster, property owner
at 5551 Newman, supported the zoning remaining as is to keep the
street uniform He felt this area is maintained and a change
to single-family may detract from the property
Mr Crispin Gaspar, 9262 Walker, owner of property at the south-
east corner of Walker and Nelson, stated he plans to upgrade the
corner and wants to retain the commercial zoning
Ms Bernadine Hubbard, 5632 Karen, commended the Planning Depart-
ments study and stated she agrees with it 100% She stated
permanent residents of the area favor the single-family zoning
and the speculators who do not live in the area and are only
interested in resale, who oppose single-family zoning, will not
have to face the problems
Mr Bob Burns, 5651 Karen, stated he agrees with the staff report
as it relates to Karen and he would like Karen to remain a single-
family zone.
Mr Norman Hubbard, 5632 Karen, stated he is in complete agree-
ment with the staff report and supports leaving Karen single-
family residential
Ms. Joan Renshaw 9331 Peach, stated she would like the entire
area zoned single-family residential and Camp Street should not
be half and half
Mr Arlen Roberts, 5664 Camp, asked who will decide on the
rezoning and that he hoped the Commission will cooperate with
the feelings of the property owners and residents Chairman
Van Allen explained the public hearing process
Mr Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive, felt zoning the small
lots for multiple -family and the large lots for single-family
was a violation of normal procedure since the larger lots are
more practical for multiple -family housing He supported single-
family zoning on Karen He felt the entire study area should be
zoned for single-family since there is sentiment for this in the
area He stated he opposed multiple -family development because
it increases taxes.
Ms Esther Murphy, 5680 Camp, supported the entire area rezoned
to single-family residential. She stated the persons interested
in multiple -family development do not live in the area and do not
care about the area and problems resulting from the zoning
Mr Kyle Johnson, 5662 Karen, commended the staff report and
stated he supports it totally
Mr Rick Crane 6042 Elden, Costa Mesa, stated he and Mr Beatty
own property at 5601 Karen and it was zoned R-4 when they purchased
it He stated they plan to build two duplexes which will contain
many amenities and upgrade the neighborhood He stated they have
been waiting a long time to see what can be done with the property
and would like an answer soon.
Mr Parkay, 5654 Camp, supported uniform single-family zoning on
Camp
Mr Aberisk asked if there was any possibility of extending
Camp Street over the railroad tracks. The Planning Director
stated this may not be possible because of the difficulty in
obtaining the right-of-way
-5-
Planning Commission Minutes June 16, 1977
Ms Joan Roberts stated lower density zoning is a good idea and
she hopes it can be done She asked if the large lots on Camp
near Walker Street could be zoned for multiple -family to allow
development like at Walker and Ball
Ms Claire Trower 5561 Karen, stated her lot size can support
more than single-family development She felt the large lots
on Karen should not be downzoned to single-family residential
Mr Gene White, 5591 Karen stated he agreed Karen should be
single-family residential He stated the multiple -family property
owners could have developed their property by now. He stated he
does not object to duplexes if they are maintained but he asked
that there be an end to two-story dwellings
Ms Martha Bradshaw, 1400 Douglas Road, Anaheim, stated they
plan to purchase a lot on Nelson which contains an old duplex.
She felt a triplex was possible on the lot with the existing
zoning and stated the lot is next door to a fourplex and could
provide ample parking and access She felt R-2 zoning would
limit the capability of the lot for future use. She felt R-2
or R-3 zoning is necessary in order to develop the lot because
of the high cost of land and stated she prefers R-3 zoning for
their lot
RECESS Chairman Van Allen called a recess at 9.22 p m The
meeting was called back to order at 9 37 p m with all Commis-
sioners present
Mr Bob Burns stated he supports single-family residential
zoning since persons living in their homes have a tendency to
maintain them and absentee owners do not maintain the property
as well
Commissioner Mullen felt the commercial properties on the east
side of Walker should be zoned the same residential classifica-
tion as the property to the east He stated he prefers multiple -
family zoning on Karen because of the large lots and he felt
redevelopment of the study area has occurred because of this
zoning. He felt high density multiple -family zoning would
require reconstruction of the sewer system and create untenable
traffic problems He felt R-2 or zoning that would permit no
more than duplexes is most desirable
Commissioner Adler felt Karen should be lower density multiple -
family residential because of the large lots He suggested that
the commercial properties on Walker could be rezoned multiple -
family residential to allow apartment development like that
further south on Walker Street, and that these lots could be
practically combined He stated he agreed with the staff's
recommendation regarding Bishop, Camp, part of Nelson and Graham
Circle and felt lower density would stimulate improvement of
the property
Chairman Van Allen stated the suggestions by several speakers
for transitions from single-family to multiple -family residential
could create a hodge-podge of zones in the study area.
Commissioner Partin pointed out that even though property may
be zoned R-2 or R-3, only one dwelling unit might be able to be
developed if it is a substandard size lot Chairman Van Allen
felt the Commission should consider its responsibility to protect
the public health, safety and welfare and see that potential
developers are not misled by the zoning.

Planning Commission Minutes June 16 1977
Commissioner Friedmann stated she basically agrees with the
staff's recommendations but her only concern is with the recom-
mendation for Karen Street because of the large lot sizes She
did not feel the area could revitalize itself with the single-
family classification She stated she agrees with the zoning
recommendation for Walker Street and felt it would promote
development on Walker
Chairman Van Allen asked if the commercial properties on Walker
provided adequate size lots for apartment development similar to
that south of Orange Avenue The Planning Director felt the
present lot configurations and ownerships would preclude this
type of development but that it could be accomplished with a
consolidation of parcels which has not yet occurred He felt
that even with a consolidation of lots there probably would not
be sufficient area for condominium development
Commissioner Mullen felt the Commission received sufficient
information and staff reports but he suggested continuing the
hearing Commissioner Mullen felt single-family zoning on Karen
might have a negative result of grossly over -sized lots in relation
to the character of the neighborhood He asked if there was some
way to guarantee that an application for a division of land
would be sympathetically received by the City if Karen is zoned
single-family residential The Planning Director indicated that
the ultimate resulting density would be the primary consideration
but something could be included in the Zoning Ordinance to
accommodate this possibility He stated lots resulting from
a division of land would have to retain a minimum lot width for
a single-family dwelling
Chairman Van Allen stated the staff report is available for the
public to review and he suggested that the property owners and
residents may wish to hold neighborhood meetings
It was moved by Chairman Van Allen and seconded by Commissioner
Mullen to continue the hearing regarding General Plan Amendment
#77-3 to the July 7 meeting The motion carried by the following
roll call vote
AYES. 4 COMMISSIONERS. Adler, Mullen, Partin and
Van Allen
NOES 1 COMMISSIONERS Friedmann
ABSENT 0 COMMISSIONERS None
PUBLIC HEARING RE• GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 77-2 - THE
WARMINGTON COMPANY. Chairman Van Allen announced that this was
the time and place for the public hearing to consider a proposed
amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan to change
the designation of a 1 77 acre parcel of land located at the
southwest corner of the Cerritos Avenue and Holder Street inter-
section from retail and general commercial to low-density resi-
dential He opened the hearing and asked for the staff report
The Planning Director read Staff Report #77-21 dated June 10
and presented slides of the subject property
Chairman Van Allen asked if the applicant wished to speak
Mr. Jim Christensen 3822 Campus Drive Newport Beach repre-
senting the Warmington Company, stated they share staff's concerns
He stated the property is unique and surrounded by single-family
residential development and it should continue as a single-family
neighborhood He stated their proposed homes will be the only
ones in the area with noise mitigating features He stated
commercial development would increase ingress and egress on
Cerritos and they would prefer access on Holder Street and a
block wall on Cerritos Mr Christensen felt it would be diffi-
cult to obtain the right of way for the extension of Holder
- 7-
Planning Commission Minutes June 16, 1977
across the railroad tracks and that Holder would only extend to
Katella and not the freeway He felt residential development
is the proper use of the property
Mr Leo Baroldi, 233 Reposado La Habra Heights, the property
owner, reported during the last seven years he has had 11 denials
for neighborhood -commercial uses including denial of a 7 -Eleven
market He felt the property is too large for neighborhood -
commercial use and too small for general commercial use He
reported several accidents have occurred because of the poor
visibility at the Holder/Cerritos intersection He pointed out
that single-family residential development surrounds the property
and the homes proposed by Warmington would upgrade the area
He felt the traffic volumes would not sustain commercial use
and he pointed out that the major intersection of Knott and
Cerritos has been unable to develop as well as commercial prop-
erties on Valley View, Orange and Lincoln He stated some
neighbors preferred residential development to the weedy field
or a commercial use with bright lighting He stated he is inter-
ested in developing his property and does not want to wait until
the Arlan property is developed
Mr James Duncan 9787 Rome Street, stated he is highly in favor
of the proposed development and the developer will build nice homes.
Mr Joe Hardcastle, 4588 Blanca Drive stated he did not think
the noise problem could be eliminated especially in yards
Mr Christensen presented a concept plan showing a layout of
nine single-family units The Planning Director described the
plan which showed a cul-de-sac street off of Holder He stated
all the lots except the three at the end of the cul-de-sac
would be substandard in depth but appeared to meet the minimum
area requirement of 6000 square feet Mr Christensen stated
the units can meet the setback requirements within one foot and
that they would probably have to request a variance for the lot
depth
It was moved by Commissioner Partin and seconded by Chairman
Van Allen to continue the hearing to July 7
The Planning Director stated staff can analyze the proposed
layout with regard to the physical characteristics like the
street intersection and lot size He stated condominiums may
be possible since they are permitted in the RS -6000 Zone
Mr Christensen stated the plan was only a concept plan to show
that some type of residential development could occur on the
property and he asked if the Commission could make a determina-
tion tonight He stated they have considered condominium devel-
opment and he felt there are several options which could be
worked out with the staff
Commissioner Friedmann felt a residential use could be found
for a two acre parcel and that the Commission could make a
determination tonight on the amendment
Commissioner Partin withdrew the motion and Chairman Van Allen
withdrew the second.
Mr Joe Hardcastle felt an ideal use for the property would be
a bowling alley for which there is a demand in the City
Commissioner Mullen stated he was in favor of the amendment and
that the single-family residential character of the land use in
this area was decided a long time ago He felt traffic problems
at the corner could be mitigated by the proposed street improve-
ments
It was moved by Commissioner Mullen and seconded by Commissioner
Friedmann to approve General Plan Amendment #77-2 The motion

has indicated agreement with closing the driveway, but there
has been no response from other tenants in the center
The Planning Director stated the City has the right to require
closing of the driveway since it is within the public right of
way. He suggested adding a condition to require a letter from

the southwest corner of Lincoln and Moody Street from the current
100-M1-30,000 (Light Industrial) classification to a C2 (General
Business Zone) and R4 (Suburban Residential Zone) classification.
He stated he could not determine the depth of the proposed C2
zoning but felt it would be the same depth as the adjacent com-
mercial properties He suggested that the Commission recommend
that the C2 zoning extend from Lincoln to Bishop Street He
reported none of the properties were deep lots and would not be
included in the LC (Overlay) Zone He stated the R4 zoning
would permit more than 20 units per acre The Planning Director
stated he would check the County Zoning Ordinance to determine
whether there is a multiple -family residential classification
that more approximates the City's RM zone and the Commission
could recommend that they apply that zoning
It was moved by Commissioner Mullen seconded by Commissioner
Friedmann and unanimously carried to transmit to the County
Environmental Management Agency the Commission's recommendation
that the C2 Zone extend from Lincoln to Bishop and that the
residential classification and permitted density, more closely
approximate the City's RM Zone classification
