IN RE: NEW HEARINGS
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1408 - INTERSTATE CONSOLIDATED
Proposed expansion of a retail center utilizing greater than 40%
compact parking spaces on 3.9 acres at the southeast corner of
Tustin Street and Katel7a Avenue. (Continued from April 1, 1985,
Planning Commission Meeting)
NOTE: Negative Declaration 968 has been prepared for this project.
Mr. Lane said this Conditional Use Permit has been withdrawn since
the April 7 meeting because the applicant has revised its plan to
® the point where the Conditional Use Permit is no longer necessary;
however, Planning Commission approval is still required in relation
to the 1.6% reduction in the required number of off=street parking
spaces since there will now be four stalls less than what is required,
as a result of reducing the number of compact stalls and increasing
the number of standard stalls.
Chairman Master opened the public hearing. Carol Hoffman, repre-
senting the applicant, said Commissioner Greek`s suggestion to
redesign the parking area was taken, resulting in coming as close
as lacking only four parking spaces of the required amount. She
said that since there is a provision that the Planning Commission
could grant up to a 15% reduction in required spaces and they are

asking for only a 2% reduction, they hope for approval.
Chairman Master declared the public hearing closed.
Mr. Johnson said approval of the number of stalls can be granted
without conditions but the question of dedication of the right-of-
way, which was requested by Staff, still has to be reckoned with.
He said there was a discussion between Bernie Dennis and the appli-
cant on the dedication, and suggested that such discussion continue
after action is taken on the Conditional Use Permit because the
right-of-way is needed for upgrading the intersection and is an
integral part of the development. He said the City Council may
have to make the decision regarding the right-of-way as it will
probably be appealed to the City Council by the applicant or
referred to it by Staff.
Moved by Commissioner Hart, seconded by Commissioner Mason, that
the Planning Commission a"llow the 1.6% deficiency in required
parking spaces in the integrated commercial center at the south-
east corner of Tustin Street and Kate1la Avenue,

IN RE: NEW HEARINGS
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1412 - SMITH
Proposed three story mini-warenouse facility in the C-7 Zone on 2.1
acres at the northwest corner of Chapman Avenue and Wayfie`Jd Street.
Continued from the April 1, 1985, Planning Commission meeting)
NOTE: Negative Declaration 970 has been prepared for this project.
Mr,. Lane made the presentation in accordance with the Staff Report,
sand said Staff -recommends approval subject to the 18 conditions in
i'~s report,"one additional condition in a memo sent by Staff to the
Planning Commission and eight conditions requested by the Fire De-
partment, for a total of 27 conditions. He pointed out that this
Conditional Use Permit must have City Council approval.
Commi sinner Hart referred to Condition No. 4, which states that
the residence of the on-site manager shall not be occupied by
children under the age of l6, and asked if this wasn`t unconstitu~
tional, Mr. Minshew said he feels this is not an unreasonable
restriction and the unconstitutionality of prohibiting children
would probably not apply in this case. He suggested leaving the
condition and if it turns. out to be unconstitutional then it could
not be enforced, He pointed-out that in a true apartment such a
restriction would be illegal, but this is not a true apartment and
prohibition of children under 16 could be one of the terms of
employment of a caretaker.

Commissioner Hart asked if there is a parking code for warehouses
and, if not, what rule of thumb applies. Mr. Lane responded that
Staff checked with a number of cities in the County and each is
doing something different. He said there is no standard; however,
surveys performed in relation to specific proposals indicate that
the demand for off-street parking is very minimal .and, in fact,
not having it is a deterrent to on-site activities other than just
stopping long enough to put something in storage or remove it.
Chairman Master opened the public hearing. Mark Murphy, 2750 South
Harbor, Suite I, Santa Ana, architect for the applicant, R. A. Smith,
662 Ranchwood Trail, Orange, discussion the on•-site ,parking. He
said when he prepared the latest revision he had reviewed the Fire
Department conditions and consequently excluded the parking spaces
which would have been in front of the units on the ground floor.
He said the 31 parking spaces include only the two garage spaces,
the perpendicular spaces in the southeast corner of the site, the
parking spices an the second floor ramp and the 90° parking on the
second floor. He said the plan still includes the area where people
might stop to put something in or remove something from their unit,
which is in question and-will have to be worked out with the Fire
Department on how it should be posted, and he intends to comply
with whatever the Fire Department will require.
h1r. Murphy said the soatheasterly portion of the site. is somewhat
in question as to development rights--it is within the applicant's
parcel but a lawsuit has been filed by the owner of the property
against Mobil Oil to clear up development rights; however, the
building proposed to be erected on this piece of land is included
in the application with the indication that it might have to be
built later, although the parking area on that portion of the site
wild still be provided. He said Staff has been provided with a
traffic report and a report on mini.-storage warehouses regarding
storage units and parking ratios which includes the information
that if the unit is 110,000 square feet at 93% occupancy, the daily
average traffic flow is 17 vehicles total. He said other on-site
parking would be at the office area for persons wishing information
or making an application to rent a unit, and the rest of the parking
® area would be for people servicing their units and that is clustered
in the area that is most closely acceptable to the vertical transport
on the two- and three-story buildings. He said elevators will be
provided to give lessees easier access to their units when loading
or unloading.
Mr. Murphy brought up the matter of the exit driveway furthest to
the south and said they had attempted to combine into an existing
mutual access agreement with Mobil Oil at that driveway location
which would create 'a grade exit as shown on the plan and then go
out the mutual driveway, but he thinks a suggestion was made that
that driveway exit straight out to Wayfie1d and he has no difficulty
with that, although he is wondering how it will affect the driveway

immediately south of it which would be roughly ten or fifteen feet
away. Mr. Lane said the requirement for the straight access out
onto Wayfield is included as one of the conditions. Mr. Murphy
presented the Planning Commission with some photographs showing
the site from different angles and discussed the actions they would
take to decrease the visibility of their buildings.
Chairman Master closed the public hearing.

the Planning Commission accept the findings of the Environmental
Review Board to file Negative Declaration 970.

approval of the Conditional Use Permit is because he feels com-
mercial sections should not be eroded with industrial use.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1416 - COVENANT PREBYTERIAN CHURCH
Proposed use of existing facilities for an elementary and secondary
school at Covenant Presbyterian Church of Orange on 4.5 acres in
the C-1 Zone at the northeast corner of Orange Olive Road and
Briarda1e Street.
NOTE: Negative Declaration 974 has been prepared for .this project.
Mr. Lane made the presentation in accordance with the Staff Report,
and said Staff recommends approval subject to the six conditions in
its report. He said a similar proposal was approved by the Planning
Commission in 1980 but at that time the church was not able to carry
out its plans
.
Chairman Master opened the public hearing. Ray Cook, coordinator of
the Christian School at the church, .gave a brief summary of plans
for the school as set forth in thb Staff Report. Commissioner Mason
.commented that the playground area looks 'like a driveway. Mr. Cook
said it is not meant to be a driveway; there is no driveway there.
Commissioner Mason asked if it will be a grassy area. Mr, Cook
said the area is completely cemented and they have removed some
cement and rep"laced it with sand on which to erect playground
equipment. Commissioner Mason asked if that will be an adequate
playground area. Mr, Cook responded that it will since only one
cuss at a time will be using the area. Commisioner Mason asked
about the church`s plans to expand the school to include junior
high level. Mr. Cook responded that if and when this is done, there
will be additions made to the property;. however such an increase is
® quite a bit into the futureR-right now they wi]1 have the school for
only kindergarten through fourth grade and .hope to add fifth and
sixth grades in a year or two, all of which will fit into the
present building.
Chairman Master closed the public hearing..

ZONE CHANGE 7032., CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1419 - TOM ROSSI AND
ASSOCIATES, RICHARD D. HABICHT
Proposed zone change from RM-7 to 0-P and conversion of an existing
single-family residence to office use with provision of 46% compact
parking on .27 acres on the south side of LaVeta Avenue, approximately
370 feet west from Parker Street.
NOTE: Negative Declaration 976 has been prepared for this project.
Mr, Lane made the presentation in accordance with the Staff Report,
and said Staff recommends approval subject to the conditions in its
report.
Chairman Master opened the public hearing. Rick Habicht, 14181 Yorba
Street, Suite 204, Tustin., the applicant,'said this is a 1904 River-
stone home lived in by one lady since the 1930s and his main objective
is to keep the home as it looks now since it is listed in the City of
Orange historical si e registryw He said he has no problems with
the conditions in the Staff Report. Commissioner Mason asked if
there will be two different driveways, one for ingress and one for
egress; Mr. Habicht responded that they plan to add a driveway on
the other side of the house so that one driveway will be for entering
and one for exiting.
Evel n Cates and Johanni.E, Johannsen, both residents at 700 West
~LaVe~a, the LaVeta Monterey Homeowners Association,~spoke against
approval of the application due to problems of increased traffic
and lack of enough parking spaces on the site in question. They
also objected to the amount of doctors this proposed office use
will accommodate; as well ~ as the possible amvot~t of.patients v~ho;
would not have enough parking space. They also objected to the
possible removal of a magnolia tree: on the property in order to
construct the additional driveway. Commissioner Hart pointed out
that this property is zoned for multiple housing and if it i.s not
used for this project it will probably be sold to someone who will
raze this building and build more apartments,~which would create
an even worse traffic and parking problem. Chairman Master pointed
c

out that the applicarr.t is providing 13 parking spaces for 2500
square feet of house and that other houses of that-size would not
be likely to have that much parking nor does the apartment complex
in which Mrs. Cates and Mr. Johannsen reside have that high a ratio.
He also said the roots of the magnolia tree could be cut to make
room for the driveway and it would not have to be removed.
Brenda Martin, 285 East Third Street, Tustin., the broker repre-
senting the applicant, said the building will house four psychia-
trists and twor~seeretaries., that patient app6intments would be made
in one-hour segments with no overlapping and no waiting room full
of waiting patientsy consequently there would not be a parking
prob1 em.

and Tustin Street,
NOTE: Negative Declaration 977 has been prepared for this project.

Mr. Lane made the presentation in accordance with the Staff Report,
and said Staff .recommends approval subject to the five conditions
in :its report. He said a letter had been received this day from
JD Property Management, which manages some of the adjacent property
to the south, indicating concern about noise from the speakers on
the applicant's property and requesting they be used only from
9:.00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and if additional speakers are installed
they be aimed away from the adjacent residential properties,
Chairman Master opened the public hearing.. Bill Selman, 18952
Ridgewood Circle, Villa Park, President of Selman Chevrolet, said
the additional bays would be located near the body shop and would
be used for used car reconditioning which is light mechanical work;
therefore the noise of the body chap would drown out what little
noise would come from the new bays; also no speakers would be added.
He said he thought the speaker noise was resolved three to five years
ago since he has not. had complaints since then, .Commissioner Hart
mentioned that he lives five. blocks away and can hear the speaker
noise. Mr. Selman said he will take steps to cut down the speaker
noise but the fact remains that speaker noise has nothing to do with
the current project application.
® Vera Finn, 235-245 South Oak, said she and her husband own a small
apartment complex and all their tenants complain abqut_both~spealeer
noise and mechanical noise coming from Selman Chevrolet. She said
the noise has reached the l eve`1 of being completely i.rito1 erabl e,'
that it goes on day and night and is making her complex unrentable.
She read a letter from anot"her apartment house owner on Oak Street
appealing to the Planning Commission to deny this ~pp~licatian and
requesting that Set man Chevrolet be required to cut down the noise,
she presented a petition signed by residents on Oak Street and
also presented seven additional letters from property owners on
Qak Street. She said she feels the problem cannot be solved by
anything less than a noise barrier similar to those used for freeway
noise and suggested the construction of an eight-foot wall between
Selman Chevrolet and all the Oak Street properties,
Chairman Master asked for Mr. Minshew's advice regarding the relation
of the California Environmental Quality Act to the Negative Declara-
tion. Mr. Minshew said he is concerned that the complaints about
the noise are a challenge to the Negative Declaration and he feels
the Planning Commission will have to resolve the Negative Declaration
before it can take action on the Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Master
said he feels there is already a problem without the addition planned
in the current project, that that problem should be addressed because
it is possible an ordinance is being violated, but the comments are
on a noise level that currently exists and has northing to do with
the current project--they are two separate items. Commissioner Hart
Q agreed and said this hearing is on the application for new bays and
if the residents of the area want to discuss the existing noise they
can do so at ;the end of th %s hearing, Commissioner Mason asked if

those in opposition are aware there is a Code 17.42 that states
"public address systems shall not be and ible from any exterior
boundary.," and that they could fight the problem from that stand-
point. Mr. Lane said the person to contact in that case would
be Chris Carnes, the code enforcement person in his office.
Mr. Selman said there will be three mechanics there working on mech-
anical reconditioning of used car~,.'there will be no increase in ;~
noise, there will be no additional speakers. He said the problem
has been pointed out to him and whatever the Code is, it is his job
to meet the Code. He said if he has to pull out the speakers in
the back he will pull them out. He said the first thing he wi]1 do
is get a consultant to show him the best way to solve the prob1 em..
and if he has to cut out the paging he will do so. He said he will
do whatever he has to do to comply with the law, but the noise that
exists now hasn`t anything to do with the addition of the new bays.
Commissioner Hart said he feels the existing situation does not
pertain to the Negative Declaration as it pertains to the applica-
ation for new bays. He said he knows Mr. Selman and is sure that
now that he is aware of the situation he wild take steps to alleviate
it. Commissioner Scott suggested. that the property owners on Oak
Street work with Mr. Selman to correct the problem and if any nega-
tive situations arise they can contact the code enforcement officer
to pursue the matter,
Chairman Master closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Mason asked that the people in opposition receive a
copy of the Staff Report on the application since the standard
conditions address the fact that the mechanical apparatus shall
be baffled for sound, Chairman Master recommended that these people
work directly with Mr, Selman and said he is sure Mr, Selman wil l
be responsive to their problems and suggestions.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 7421, VARIANCE 7756 - ERASER ENTERPRISES
Proposed expansion of an existing office use., provision of 52%
compact parking spaces and construction of a new entrance addition
which encroaches into the front yard setback on .5 acres in the
M-2 Zone on the west side of Manzanita Street, approximately 260
feet north from Katella Avenue.
NOTE:. This project is exempt from environmental review.
Mr. Lane made the presentation in accordance with the Staff Report
and. said Sluff recommends approval subject to the eight conditions
in its report.
Chairman Master opened the public hearing,
® Darlene Lacombe, 13141 Lewis, Garden Grove, architect for the appli-
cant, said the present use of this building is by Fraser Enterprises
and there is no p1 an to increase personnel,~merely to make it easier
for the present 16 employees to work by enlarging the office space.
She said these 16 employees~wil1 use 16 of the 27 parking spaces
provided..
Milt Helms, 1856 Conejo Lane, Fullerton,,representing Helms Foster
Corporation-, owners of the property on the northeast corner of
Manzanita and Katella, said there are already parking problems on
Manzanita Street which he feels will be aggravated if Fraser Enter-
prises cuts down the amount of ,parking it has currently. He showed
photographs he had taken of the area i.ndics~ting the parking there
on the last three working days prior to this meeting, Commissioner
Hart asked if Mr. Helms thought the problems wwould be caused by
this project or were from other businesses in the area that didn`t
nave enough parking. Mr. Helms responded that the problems wouldn't
exactly be from this project.-but by losing two of their spaces they
would probably use off-street parking which is already too heavy.
He said there were vehicles that parked overnight and had been there
for considerable length of time as well as a mobile home that had
been parked there for a long time. Commissioner Greek recommended
that Mr. Helms contact the police department to enforce the parking
regulations on the street. Mr. Helms said the curb in front of
Fraser is painted green, for limited parking; consequently Fraser
employees park in front of his building. He asked how Fraser had
accomplished getting the curb painted green; Mr. Johnson said he
would have to research the f Iles to find out.
Gene White, 155 Jewel Place, Orange, Vice President of Fraser
® Enterprises, said the green curbing had been approved by the City
Council and that the parking problem is-not created by Fraser
Enterprises since itsiparking lot is more than adequate; in fact,
other businesses in the area use Eraser`s lot. He reiterated Ms.

LaCombe's statements regarding the purpose of the expansion. Com-
missioner Mason said it appears that the problem is not with the
Fraser parking lot but with the street parking and there are other
avenues that can be addressed to take care of that..

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 85-191 -DELTA DEVELOPMENT
Proposed six-lot subdivision of a 1.78-acre portion of a 7.48-acre
parcel in the M-2 Zone on the west side of Batavia Street at
Southern Avenue.
NOTE: Negative Declaration 981 has been prepared for this project,
Mr, Lane made the presentation in accordance with a memo from the
Q Environmental Review Board, and said Staff .recommends approval
subject to the five conditions on the tentative parcel map. Com-
missioner Hart asked why the Planning Commission is getting tentative
parcel maps and Mr. Lane responded because this is in ah industrial
zone. Commissioner Greek said he receives the impression that a
funny kind of parcel would be created if this were approved. He
said there is an office building-and a 35` driveway that isn`t
adequate fora public street and if these lots were approved there
wouldn't be adequate access to the rear portion of the property if
at some future time someone would want to build on it. He said he
feels provision should be made for adequate access and proper devel-
opment of the rear parcel,
Moved by Commissioner Greek, seconded by Commissioner Mason,. that
the Planning Commission recommend denial of Tentative Parcel Map
85-? 91 without prejudice.
AYES: Commissioners Master, Greek, Hart, Mason, Scott
NOES:. None MOTION CARRIED
Mr. Lane suggested that the applicant be notified of the reason for
denial so the application does not go to the City Council. Commis-
sioner Greek said that if it does go to the City Council he feels
there should be a statement included that the reason for Planning
Commission denial was the desire to redesign the accessway to the
rear portion of the property.
IN RE: OTHER BUSINESS
Chairman Master brought up the Staff memorandum regarding the
Planning Commission Minutes
April 15, 1985
Page Twelve
American Way Cultural~;C®nter (Richard & Marty Adair).. He said he
agrees with Staff's comment about letting them proceed with their
plan and submitting an application for hearings before the Planning
Commission and the City Council. He requested Mr. Lane to communicate
with Mr, and Mrs. Adair regarding Staff's memorandum and the Planning
Commission's concurrence with the approach; also to tell them that
the Planning Commission is not endorsing their plan, merely wishing
it to be applied for through proper procedure, and that no approval
of the p1 an is guaranteed,
Chairman Master said a letter from Councilman Perez indicates. the
wish of the City Council for a joint meeting with the Planning
Commission at 5:30 p,m. on April 23 regarding the East Orange Plan.
Mr. Johnson said that several weeks ago there was a presentation to
the City Council on the Eastern Corridor Study ~at which he feels the
Planning Commission should also .have been present. After some dis-
cussion it was decided that the Planning Commission should attend
the brief ,joint session with the City Council on April 23 following
which Mr, Johnson would make the presentation on the Eastern Corridor
Study to the Planning Commission in a separate session.
Bob Bennyhoff., Orange Park Acres, said it is the present intention
of the Orange Park Acres Homeowners Association to formally request
that the Planning Commission and the City Council go on record as
opposing the westernmost alignment and .they will be making that
request in formal sessions in the next couple of weeks.
Chairman Master mentioned the meeting of the California Association
of Local Economic Dwe1opment in San Francisco, April 24-26.
Commissioner Mason asked what happened to the problem of satellite
dishes which was bro~.ght before the Planning Commission some time
ago and was supposed to have been brought back, Mr. Lane said the
City Cvunci'1 directed Staff to prepare an amendment to the Code to
deal with satellite dishes and. it is currently being worked on.
IN RE: ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 p.m. to reconvene to a regular
meeting on Monday, May 6, 1985, at 7:30 p.m,, at the Civic Center
Council Chambers, 300 East Chapman Avenue, Orange, California.
