GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2-90-B AND ZONE CHANGE 1127-90 -
CITY OF ORANGE:
Proposed modifications to zoning and the General Plan for
Cypress Street and AT & SF Railroad Depot areas as follows:
CvUress Street alternatives being considered:
1. Change General Plan from Low-Medium to Medium Density
Residential.
2. Retain Low-Medium Density Residential
3. Rezone from R-3 (Residential Multiple Family District)
and R-4 (Residential Maximum Multiple Family District)
to R-2-6 (Residential Duplex District).
AT & SF Railroad Depot Area Proposal:
1. Change in General Plan from industrial and general
commercial to Low-Medium Density Residential and Old
Towne.
2. Change zoning from M-1 (Light Industrial) and C-2
General Business District) to R-3 (Residential
Multiple Family District) and C-1 (Limited Business
District).
Other appropriate alternative general plan and land use
and zoning designations may also be considered).
The subject parcels are located in an area bounded by
Glassell Street on the east, Chapman Avenue on the south,
Pixley Street and the AT & SF Railroad on the west, and
Rose Avenue on the north.
NOTE: Negative Declaration 1348-90 has been prepared
for this project.
This item was continued from the May 21, 1990 Planning
Commission meeting and a study session on May 30, 1990.
The public hearing had been closed at the May 21 meeting.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 18, 1990 Page 3
Mr. Jere Murphy presented the Staff Report. At the May 21
Planning Commission hearing, several questions were raised
by the Commission regarding the Study of this area. An
addendum to the original report was prepared in response to
those questions.
This report was available at the hearing. The questions
and a summary of the responses are as follows:
1. How were the boundaries established for the study?
The boundaries of the Cypress Street portion of the study
are the limits of the residential zoning that is
inconsistent with the general plan which is also the
boundary of the area historically known as the Cypress
Street neighborhood. The boundaries of the Railroad Depot
portion of the study was established in the Williams-
Kuebelbeck study performed two years ago for the Economic
Development Division. The staff and consultants expanded
the two study boundaries to include a sphere of influence
around the study areas so that properties directly affected
by changes in use could be identified and addressed.
2. What tools are available to assist in improving
residential areas without increasing densities?
There are basically two programs - code enforcement and
housing improvement programs. Code enforcement personnel
have been working in this area on a complaint basis, but a
more proactive enforcement program will hopefully be
initiated. Housing programs have been marketed in the
Cypress Street area with limited success. However, the
Housing Section staff will continue to market these
programs so that the residents in need of assistance are
aware of available programs.
3. What public works projects are scheduled for the study
area?
Those projects currently listed in the 5-year Capital
Improvement Program are:
a. Completion of the widening of Chapman Avenue from
Lemon to Clark Streets
b. Widening of Glassell STreet from Walnut to Collins
Avenues.
c. Signalization of intersections of Glassell and Maple
and Glassell and Palm.
d. Drainage and street abandonment issue at the inter-
section of Sycamore and Cypress.
e. Normal street maintenance.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 18, 1990 Page 4
4. Why is the Office Professional use and zone a better
transitional use adjacent to residential?
Office use is more compatible with residential areas
because it is a use totally contained within buildings as
opposed to the outdoor storage and/or processing that
occurs within an industrial use.
5. What is the future of the Orange Unified School
District property?
The District has asked that their property be removed from
this Study since future use of the property is unknown at
this time.
6. How would a phasing program effect non-conforming
uses and property financing.
In order to avoid creating non-conforming uses that would
not be easily financed, phased zone changes could occur as
a follow-up to the adoption of a general plan amendment for
the entire study area. Another alternative to phased zone
changes would be to provide some type of property financing
through Redevelopment Tax Increment Funds to those impacted
property owners who have no private financing alternatives.
7. Is it appropriate to place residential use adjacent
to the railroad tracks?
Adequate noise buffering can occur through the design
aspect of the projects.
Mr. Murphy also indicated that letters had been received
from Robert Baier, objecting to a proposed change in use at
the northeast corner of Walnut and Cypress; from the School
District requesting removal of their property from the
study; from Wendell Finley in support of the Depot Study
proposal while recognizing certain tenant issues; and from
Daniel Slater.
General Discussion
Commissioner Bosch questioned the fact that the southeast
corner of Lemon and Palm is designated R-4 zoning, but that
proposed Alternative No. 1 retains a low-medium density.
Planning Commission MInutes
June 18, 1990 Page 5
Mr. Murphy indicated that the property immediately to the
east of this property is zoned R-4 and that the Commission
could recommend either R-3 or R-4 for this property and it
would still be compatible with the area.
Commissioner Bosch also asked about the potential for
accommodating property financing concerns through
Redevelopment Agency tax increments, and what method is
available to the Commission to allow for that.
Mr. Murphy stated that there would be the need for tax
increment funding for relocation efforts. The Commission
could recommend, in a very general statement, that the use
of these funds be made available, but at this time there is
no way of knowing any of the specifics, or even a guarantee
of these funds. Because of this, it may require a phasing
program in order to assist the land owners in converting
their properties to other uses.
Commissioner Greek agreed that it is not their intent to
hurt the property owners, and should this General Plan be
adopted, would like to see a program whereby the City could
provide funds to be lent to property owners who may have to
reconstruct their businesses because of a non-conforming
use. He felt that the City should be willing to risk some
funds if they are asking property owners to take a risk
with their businesses.
Commissioner Master pointed out that the funding issue
could be made as part of a motion should the Commission
desire.
Moved by Commissioner Bosch, seconded by Commissioner
Scott, to accept the findings of the Environmental Review
Board with regard to Negative Declaration 1348-90 in that
this project will not have a significant adverse impact on
the environment.

Discussion on Cypress Street area
Commissioner Bosch discussed the requests from Robert Baier
and the Orange Unified School District for exclusion of
their properties from this study, and felt that it was
appropriate to honor these requests.
The remaining Commissioners all felt that the properties
should not be excluded simply because the owners requested
it, that there needs to be conformity to the General Plan.
Commissioner Bosch then expressed the following concerns.
There has been some difficulty in administering funding
programs available to improve housing in this area. There
has been very little change in this area despite the
intensity of zoning placed upon it which may be due, in
part, to the number of units that exist that are not fully
permitted at this time. The code enforcement staff is
doing a good job in this area, but there needs to be an
intensified City community relations effort to see that
funds are available for code compliance and housing
assistance. The problems that exist are not due just to
illegal or non-conforming uses but also in part to the very
density; and would like to see the neighborhood structure
preserved in this part of town.
He felt that the area should remain primarily low/medium
density and not increased to medium density, and that the
majority of the westerly portion of the study area near the
industrial area should be zoned R-2-6. He expressed
concern with the current RCD overlay concept, that it needs
further study and modification, that it is not applied
uniformly throughout the Old Towne area. He would prefer
to see the zoning stand alone without having to refer back
to an overlay zone. He also felt that the properties in
the north and northeast section should be zoned R-2-6 east
of the lots facing Cypress.
The area south of the School District office, and the
School District property itself, creates another problem in
that although there is some low density residential in that
area there is also the high probability of the Anaconda
area being of higher density (with high density pockets
east of Lemon south of Palm). He does not perceive the
probability of a request occurring to put single family
residential on the large school district property. Perhaps
that could be some sort of transitional zoning. Concern
that there is not enough differentiation between R-3 and R-
4 that the R-4 can be eliminated; and there should be
sufficient designation in order to look at some blend
between R-2-6 and R-3 in that area.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 18, 1990 Page 7
Commissioner Greek explained that what the Commission seems
to be looking for is a tool to upgrade the area, one of
those tools being code enforcement. The tools that are
available to the City are either extremely tough
enforcement or the General Plan to upgrade the densities.
Re-zoning has been successful in the past and has resulted
in some of the upgrading in the Old Towne area. The
majority of construction, and thus the upgrading, in Old
Towne has been the result of additional units constructed
in the back of properties. This Cypress Street area has
unique problems and he would like to keep the character of
the single family residences but see them upgraded. Would
like to see the area upgraded over a long period of time
without destroying lifestyles. This has happened in Old
Towne, with great success. Higher density is not a
necessity, but a goal and the tool to make this area work.
Commissioner Bosch agreed that code enforcement is a
necessity, but another method of assuring upgrading is to
insure housing assistance programs are available for lower
densities as well as higher densities. Concerned with
going to higher densities without first attempting a full
scale code enforcement program.
Commissioner Greek felt that code enforcement is not enough
that there are too many things to "cure" in this area;
that we would be driving out people by the block if only a
code enforcement program is initiated without higher
densities.
Commissioner Master would like to see the community come
forward and be effective in organizing an interest in
upgrading the neighborhood, somewhat like a self policing
effort inasmuch as the City can provide only so many hours
of code enforcement. It would be beneficial to see the
same response in this neighborhood that has come out of Old
Towne. Would also like to see the housing grants become
an effective tool as well as a greater interest in the
community. He stated he is leaning toward lower density to
give the residents a pride in the area - that the City is
willing to help them improve their neighborhood but that
they have to be willing to help themselves also.
Commissioner Scott felt that there was already a lot of
pride of ownership in the area and that a higher density
would ruin the neighborhood; that there were some code
violations in the area, but it will take some time to
correct everything.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 18, 1990 Page 8
Commissioner Bosch asked if the area is downzoned, how can
the Commission monitor the area to see if there is
sufficient response from the neighborhood to solving its
own problems.
Mr. Murphy stated that staff can make periodic reports to
the Commission on what effect any change would be as well
as status reports on code enforcement and housing
assistance programs. The Commission would also have
opportunity to review any future plans.
Commissioner Scott asked if the square footage in an R-2
lot would permit more than two units?
Mr. Murphy responded that the R-2 district allows for 1
dwelling unit per 3,000 sq ft of land, i.e., on a 9,000 sq
ft lot, three units could be allowed.
Commissioner Bosch stated that after several status reports
in this area, if there is no movement, the various agencies
in the City can then take a hard look at each of the
programs. Even if the programs are available, they need to
work.
Commissioner Greek expressed concern that with only a
strict code enforcement program we may end up hurting the
very people we're trying to help. There are people living
in areas that we may not like but it is better for them
than anything else available for the price. Consequently
there is a social problem that we're trying to solve. If
we set up a system of reviewing the area with the idea that
we may up-zone in the future it will create a see-saw
effect which is a real mistake. We need to take a hard
look at it right now and make a determination of what
zoning we feel will last for at least a five year period,
and give it a chance to evolve rather than thinking we can
always change it in a year or two.
Moved by Commissioner Bosch,seconded by Commissioner
Scott, the Planning Commission recommend to the City
Council to maintain low/medium density residential General
Plan designation for these properties including the
northeast corner of Walnut and Cypress and the OUSD
property; and that Alternative No. 3 be approved to rezone
from R-3 (Residential Multipl e Family District) and R-4
Residential Maximum Multiple Family District) to R-2-6
Residential Duplex District),but that no RCD overlay be
included.

Discussion on AT & SF Railroad Depot Area
Commissioner Bosch expressed concern about the proposed
change on the east side of Pixley, currently M-l. It
appears that we have a fairly good working relationship
between the existing residential on the west side of Pixley
and the M-1 on the east side, and is of the opinion that we
should retain that M-1 for a while. If the remainder of
the Depot planning area comes along as hoped for, the
upgrading of the property, or the change in its use, might
want to occur and the property owners could come back to
the Commission through their own volition to see that
change occur. On both alternatives, the property west of
the ATSF right of way and north of Maple Street is
indicated for R-3 low/medium density residential. That
appears to be a relatively functional low density light
industrial area at this time and don't see any reason to
change that right now from M-1, except on the south side of
Palm.
He again expressed a concern about the lack of guarantees
for funding assistance for mortgages and property
improvements, and would like to be able to incorporate that
into a motion which could give the plan the strength it
needs.
Commissioner Greek discussed the proposed parking lot on
the east side of Pixley, north of Chapman, and that its
purpose is to provide parking in the commercial area, but
if the area remains M-1 then there is no real need for the
parking lot. It could be rezoned M-1, or something
compatible, if the Commission does indeed decide to keep
the property M-1.
He felt that ultimately the M-1 property will redevelop
commercial and as such will need the parking next to it to
make it a viable use. It poses a dilemma -- leaving the
property M-1 and yet recommending a parking lot adjacent to
it.
Commissioner Bosch suggested an interim use with the
intent that it be established to support the ultimate
commercial development
Mr. Murphy stated that one way of dealing with the issue is
to use the intent to re-zone process as part of the phasing
program to accommodate the concerns with regard to
refinancing and mortgages. However, the preference is to
not get into phasing of zone changes but to set the zone
at this time and assist people through the Redevelopment
AGency funds to refinance or for short term loans. This is
much less clouded in terms of the Resolution of Intent
process which has been used in the past in some very unique
ways.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 18, 1990 Page 10
In terms of parking on west side of the railroad tracks the
Railroad is very interested in selling that property so it
could be used, along with the Depot, to augment the parking
that would otherwise have to be provided on the east side
of the RR tracks as a part of that project. That
particular piece of property is very much an asset to the
Depot revitalization.
Moved by Commissioner Greek, seconded by Commissioner
Bosch, the Planning Commission recommends to the City
Council Alternative No. 1, a mixture of residential,
commercial and public use, provided that the City Council
is able to provide long term property financing through
Redevelopment Agency tax increment funds to those impacted
property owners who have no private financing alternatives
because of non-conforming usage.
AYES: Commissioners Bosch, Greek, Master, Scott
NOES: None
MOTION CARRIED
Commissioner Greek clarified that his motion is a
recommendation that the City Council establish a fund of
the dollars necessary to reconstruct all the buildings that
exist in the current area that could become non-conforming.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1836-90 - RIDGELINE COUNTRY CLUB:
A proposed Conditional Use Permit to allow the erection of
25 light standards with a total of 40 lights over an
existing golf course and driving range on property located
at 1051 Meads Avenue
Note: Negative Declaration 1341-90 has been prepared
for this project.
was continued from the June 4, 1990 Planning Commission
meeting.
Commissioner Greek excused himself from the hearing due to
a conflict of interest.
The public hearing had been closed at the June 4 meeting.
Planning Commission MInutes
June 18, 1990 Page 11
Ms. Wolff reviewed the staff report for this project. At
the previous hearing a number of issues were raised,
although a primary concern seems to be the impact of errant
golf balls on some of the adjacent property owners. The
Commission requested that staff and the applicant address
this particular issue and asked that the applicant meet
with the neighbors to further assess the problem and to
explore potential mitigating measures especially with
regard to three distinct areas around the site. A summary
of those mitigating measures is as follows:
Driving Ranae - Instituting
higher level tee positions;
restring netting to minimize
already implemented).
an "iron only" policy at the
install distance markers; and
sag (which the applicant has
Second Hole, north property line - moving the tee northerly
and the hole southerly, as well as constructing a sand trap
on the northerly side of the fairway, thus encouraging
players to aim southerly and away from the northern
property line; establishing a "drop area" west of the
water hazard; and recable existing nets (which the
applicant has already implemented).
Third Hole, westerly property line - eliminate the two
easterly tees, shifting the players' aim toward the center
of the course; extend the existing screen at the tee and
position it at an angle inward toward the course; and
remove an existing tree located on he easterly side of the
fairway.
Additional correspondence was received from Mr. Bill
Reinking dated June 18th and from Mr. David Freimann dated
June 18th.
Commissioner Master commended the Applicant, Mr. David
Freimann for committing himself to several significant
course changes and improvements that should benefit the
adjoining neighbors.
Commissioner Scott noted that he had met with Mrs. Mara
Brandman at the site to review the project.
Mr. David Freimann, 1051 Meads, Orange, reviewed the
meetings he has had with the surrounding property owners;
indicating he had met with Dr. Endorka earlier that day;
that he had met with Mr. Hamilton and assured him that it
would not be necessary to increase the height of the poles

June 18, 1990 Page 12
at the bottom of his property line (which was his major
concern); that he had met the previous Saturday with
several neighbors on Acre Place to discuss mitigating
measures specifically on the second hole where he has made
the most severe changes. The measures they have instituted
should more than resolve the anticipated problems with the
night lighting of the course as well as take care of the
normal daytime problems of errant golf balls.
Commissioner Bosch stated that many of these measures are
housekeeping" matters that should occur in any event.
Commissioner Master commented that he has visited the site,
as well as played the course several times, and it seems
that Mr. Freimann has gone to great lengths to take care of
these "housekeeping" matters. He expressed concern,
however, about the lighting specifically with regard to the
effect the lighting would have on the traffic along Meads
and at the entrance to the course.
Commissioner Scott commented that he has also visited the
site numerous times and noted that at the tennis courts
there are eight lights per court and has never heard of any
complaint due to these lights; and that perhaps lighting
could be placed to enhance the road without being offensive
to the neighbors.
Commissioner Master also commented that he was surprised
that no complaints had been received about the tennis court
lighting; and personally found that lighting to be more
offensive than that which is proposed for the golf course.
Commissioner Bosch posed the question, "where do we draw
the line" -- when does a selective occasional intrusion
become a permanent intrusion, not just in terms of lighting
but also with the additional people at the course at night
and the reduction of beneficial use that the neighbors have
of their yards. He was unconvinced that additional hours
and lighting won't be detrimental to the surrounding area.
Commissioner Scott pointed out that the only other lit golf
course was in Newport Beach and that there were very
expensive homes on the peripheral of this course, and it
doesn't seem to be detrimental.
He also stated that he had reviewed the petitions and
letters they had received on this issue -- the signatures
totaling approximately 547, and noted that many of these
individuals felt this proposal would be a benefit to the
area.

Moved by Commissioner Scott, seconded by Commissioner
Master, to accept the findings of the Environmental REview
Board with regard to Negative DEclaration 1341-90 in that
with the addition of the mitigating measures, the project
will not have a significant impact on the environment.
AYES: Commissioners Master, Scott
NOES: Commissioners Bosch
MOTION CARRIED
Moved by Commissioner Scott, seconded by Commissioner
Master, to approve Conditional Use Permit 1836-90 subject
to the conditions outlined in the Staff Report.
AYES: Commissioners Scott
NOES: Commissioners Bosch, Master
MOTION FAILED
Commissioner Master noted that his second of the motion was
only to initiate a vote.
The decision of the Planning Commission is final unless
appealed by the Applicant. There is a 15 day appeal
period, and if appealed, the City Council will make the
final determination.
IN RE: NEW HEARINGS
MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1002 - THE SOUTHLAND
CORPORATION:
A proposed modification of an existing condition of an
approved Conditional Use Permit (No. 1002) to allow a
change in operational procedures from a pre-pay to a post-
pay gasoline pumping method. Subject property is located
on the northwest corner of Palmyra Avenue and Main Street
290 S. Main Street).
Note: This project is categorically exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines.
Section 15301.
Planning Commission Minutes
June 18, 1990 Page 14
The public hearing was opened.
Mr. Steve Jones, Market Manager, Southland Corporation,
120 S. State College Blvd., Brea, spoke on the subject
request. He stated that a post-pay operation is more
convenient to their customers, and that they have not
experienced any problems with other gasoline stations of
this type, i.e., customers driving off without paying.
Should that occur, however, they plan to be their own
regulatory agency and will not involve the Police
Department. This is strictly a procedural change they
would like to initiate, if even for a test period.
The Commission discussed the fact that the original concern
of this proposal was with Crime Prevention; and the fact
that other post-pay stations in Orange seem to be set up
with the station attendant more closely monitoring the gas
pumps.
Mr. Scott McCook, Field Consultant, Southland Corporation,
120 S. State College Blvd., Brea, stated that their service
stations are under constant review and should a post-pay
operation be abused and a crime problem occur, the system
would be pulled. The service station attendant will be
located in the same area as originally set up but will have
the capability of being able to switch the pumps on and off
should anything suspicious occur. Their other stations
utilizing this type of system, as well as the customers,
have all seem to benefited.
The public hearing was closed.
Moved by Commissioner Greek, seconded by Commissioner
Scott, that the modification to Conditional Use Permit 1002
to allow a change in operational procedures from a pre-pay
to a post-pay gasoline pumping method be approved.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1837, ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT
PERMIT 90-13 - ROBERT A. DE FAZIO:
A proposal to construct two units which exceed one story in
height on property in the Residential Combining District
combining an existing single family residence; and a
proposal for the addition of a covered porch to the
existing residence with less than the Code required front
yard setback. Subject property located at 612 S. Orange
Street.
Note: Negative Declaration 1342-90 has been prepared
for this project.
Ms. Wolff presented the staff report. This property is
located within the Old Towne Historic District and
currently developed with an existing 1-1/2 story residence.
The request is for the construction of two 2-story units
onto the rear of the existing structure, consisting of
garages on the first level with the 2 living areas above.
The proposed structure consists of a 670 sq. ft. studio
unit and an 830 sq. ft. 2 bedroom unit. The applicant is
also proposing the addition of a porch cover to the entire
width of the front of the existing residence. The
surrounding properties are single story residences and
properties throughout the neighborhood are also
predominately single story residences.
The public hearing was open.
Applicant
Mr. Robert De Fazio, 612 S. Orange Street, reported that
they have designed this project in keeping with the Design
Review Board guidelines; that the property is zoned for
three units; and that there are numerous projects in the
area that are similar to the proposal. He stated that his
architect was available for any other questions.
Those speaking in opposition

Mr. John Reimis, 130 E. River Avenue
Mr. Mark Upton, 126 E. River Avenue
Planning Commission Minutes
June 18, 1990 Page 16
Their concerns were as follows:
The proposed project is too massive for the neighborhood;
the six proposed parking spaces will allow for too many
cars; the height of this property would be too high for the
surrounding neighborhood which is predominately single
story; it would set a bad precedent for the area which is
in the Old Towne District; and would be an invasion of
privacy to the neighbors directly adjacent to the property;
The public hearing was closed.
Moved by Commissioner Bosch, seconded by Commissioner
Scott, to support the findings of the Environmental Review
Board with regard to Negative Declaration 1342-90 in that
this project will not have a significant adverse impact on
the environment.
AYES: Commissioners Bosch, Greek, Master, Scott
NOES: None
MOTION CARRIED
Moved by Commissioner Greek, seconded by Commissioner
Scott, to deny Conditional Use Permit 1837-90 and
Administrative Adjustment 90-13 for the reasons outlined in
the Staff Report.
