PUBLIC 1. PZ 68-112 P. D. LIPPERT ON BEHALF OF ATLANTIC
"~ HEARINGS RICHFIELD COMPANY
Application for prezoning of four parcels of
'land totalling 4.63 acres on the west side of
Yorba Street at Fourth Street as follows:
Parcel A at the northwest corner of the inter-
section of Fourth and Yorba Streets, PC (Service
Station Planned Community) District;
Parcel B at the northwest corner of Fourth and
· Yorba Streets, PC (Commerci~i Planne~ Community)
DiStrict;
Parcel C fronting 160 feet on the west side of
Yorba Street, R-3-1850 (Multiple Family - 185~ sq.
ft. of lot area per dwelling unit) District;
Parcel D at the southwest corner of Fourth and
Yorba Streets, E-4 (Estate Residential) District.
Hearing opened at 7:38 P.M.
Mr. Supinger explained location and presented the staff
report and Planning Commiss'ion reconmendation for
denial.
" Mr. James Prock, 730 Gateway East, Los Angeles, showed
slides of the proposed development and stated that
the best zoning of this land for the land owners
and the conLmunity is conlmercial and multiple residential.
Fourth Street is predomina.ntly zoned professional,
making al~ overabundance of' Pr zoning on this street.
This parcel has conm~ercial characteris/tics with
exposure to the Freeway, Fourth Street', and Yorba
Street which is designated .a secondary highway. The
community needs a balance to provide a sound economic
base and it is logical that it be annexad to the City.
If developed as proposed, control should be used and
PC zonmng is the strongest commercial zone that can
be utilized. The application provideB for site
development standards, precise plan approval, and
for architectura] control.
Council Minutes
10/7/68 Pg. 2
Mr. Howard ThDmpson, architect, showed slides of
the development, showing garden apartments abutting
the R-1 to the north; junior market, shops and
coffee shop through the'center of the project; and
a service station at the corner of Fourth and Yorba
Streets. The R-3 is necessary to provide a buffer
of low density .(26 units) garden apartments between
the commercial and existing one family homes to the'
north and the plan calls for one story elements on
Yorba Street. The commercial area will have ]ow level
lighting, not over 16 feet high and not within 350
or 400 feet of the nearest residential.
Mr. Prock stated the proposed zQning is the best and
highest use of the land and a service station is per-
mitted in a PC district, that the site characteristics
for the service station, as presented, are those
recommended by the Planning Department to the Council
and all site standards are met. The report tended
to encourage service station dBvelopments near free-
way interchanges and permits additional sign identi-
fication. if within 200 feet of a freew'.y, which this
parcel is.
Mr. P. D. Lippert stated that this zoning is in accord
with the County and City General Plan. Because of
the architectural control.of the City, Mr. Lippert
said that if allowed to develoo the property as pre-
sented'with the service station, they would be happy
to-annex. According tb a letter dated October 3rd~
the Count~ Planning Depar~ment's main concern is that
of excessively high signs and developing vacant properties
in a manner complimentary to those now in the area.
Atlantic-Richfield ms agreeable to lowering the service
.station signs to a height complimentary to the Gulf
Station and Revere House signs located at First and
the Newport Freeway. Mr. Lippert further stated that
the property lends f~self to commercial. In~1967
the Internal Revenue re-evaluated the late owner's
estate and they, too, belieye that a service station
and commercial would be the best use for this property
and increased the tax accordingly. Mr, Lippert pre-
sented slides which compared the old style service
stations with the design of those built today.
Mr. Donald Christeson, building and developer, stated
that they are now completing a medical complex of
some 20,000 square feet on Fourth Street. They had
developed at this site because Fourth Street is a well
planned, widened street with beautiful landscaped
islands and surrounded by high caliber residential.
To retain the integrity the City had shown on this
street, they had retained it as a one story building.
Mr. Christeson felt that the promises made in their
investigations should be upheld and asked for a decision
of the Council which would snuff out further approach
to converting the few remaining lots on West Fourth
Street to commlercial. He could see no reason why
commercial is necessary or why it could not be developed
Professional and he disagreed that the highest and best
use is a gas station, and how would the Council then
deny applications for stations on the other three
corners. There is no guarantee as tO what will be
in the remaining Commercial. With Professional zoning
there is only one thing you can do with it. We need
service Stations, but only in the right places. In
answer to a previcus statement, Mr. Christeson said
he had never i~el~r~] of the Internal Revenue men telling
I._' ~ -a man ~,~hat to do ~.'.ith his property.
Council Minutes
10/7/68 Pg. 3
Mr. Dan Worthington, 17342 Vinewood Avende, stated
that to grant this service station zoning on this
corner would lay the foundation for three more. To
back up this s~atement, he read a letter from Suburbia
I~c., owners of the northeast and southeast corners
of Fourth and Yorba which stated in part that they
were in favor of this zoning. He felt that in pre-
zoning this northwest corner for a gas station, the
Council is prezoning all four corners. A study by
the City Plannihg Director recommended a maximum'of.
56 stations for the optimum of 100,000 people, There
are now 40,000 people in this planning area and 49
gas stations. Mr. Worthington stated that the area
property owners request that the Council deny this
application and back the City's residential property
owners by placing on record a request to the Orange
County Planning Co~nission that.they get together
with the Tustin Planning Co~nission and change the
General Plan to show Fourth and Yorba area as
Residential Professional development and remove the
Commercial development that ms now shown.
Mr. Newcomb, son of the p~operty owner, stated that
they had owned this property for 50 ye~.rs and lived
there 48'years. Mr. Newcomb stated thaE they had had
other proposals for the use of this property, but
this proposal is much more interesting and by far
the best and urged consideration for annexation and
development as submitted.
Major Zeigter, 17282 Roseleaf, stated his home is
located to the rear of the proposed apartment house
and there.will be 10 f~et between the two-story
apartment and his baCkyar~. He also stated he could
see no reason for a service station or the Commercial
zoning.
~r. Thompson sta~ed that they could turn the plan
around so the two-story buildings would be about
55'feet from the property ~ine.
Mr. Ted Anderson, 14711 Yorba Street, stated the
apartments would be within 35 feet of his home and
that there would be five entrances to the develop-
ment within 400 feet of the intersection of Yorba
Street with Fourth Street.
There being no further objections or discussmon, the
hearing was declared closed at 8:38 P.M.
Councilman Kli~gelhofer stated that it seemed logical
that Vinewood~Avenue could be continued to the Newport
Freeway as a cul-de-sac or in such street pattern
that would permit the logical development of that
.area north in the continuation of the R-1 developmen't
and sou~h into a professional type endeavor. The
north portion is identifiable as residential and the
character of Fourth Stree~ w~uld not proceed further
north than Vinewood Avenue. This seems more desireable
than zoning the entire professional.
/
Moved by Klin~elhofer, seQonded by Marsters that.
Atlantic Richfield zone change application No. 68-112
be denied as recommended by the Planni?g Commission
and that a summary of our findings be forwarded to
the County Planning Commission and that the County
Council Minutes
10/7/68 Pg. 4
Planning Commission be invited to join ~ith our
Planning Commis'sion to modify the General Plan,
to eliminate f~rther controversy on this parcel.
To be more precise on his original statement,
Councilman Klingelhofer stated that the street
pattern continuation definitely separates a
professional use from a residential use to the
north, but at the same time, to recognize that a
professional use for a total parcel is not out of
the question, but not as desireable.
In answer to Councilman Marsters, Councilman
Klingelhofer said yes, in the discussion, the
Commission could take into consideration the fact that
this parcel on the fringe of Fourth Street could be
professional; it could even be cormmercial and that
his intent was that the Council would be included
in any joint meeting with the County.
Mr. Suplnger stated that the division of the land
in this manner would not p~eclude the PC zoning.
Councilman Miller spoke on his own experience with
zone changes and an apartment development abutting
his R-1 area which has had a very detrimental effect
on the adjoining residences as well as on the rest
of the neighborhood. He could well understand and
appreciate the concern of the people in this area
under discussion tonight. This property is not in
the City, and the City will have to rely on the
County to uphold the.type of development that would
be most beneficial to the City. Councilman Miller
stated that he therefore supports Dr. Klingelhofer's
move that the Council uphold the Planning Commission
· and the people who live in the area, and also the
interest of the aevelopers along Fourth Street who'
have made substantial investments in pro~ess~onal
type developments.
Mayor COco, for clarification purposes, asked
Councilman Klingelhofer if his intent in his moti6n
is to refer this to joint bodies for discussion with
the charter that they consider only p~ofessional
zoning ~lohg Fourth Street.
Councilman Klingelhofer stated that in his estimation,
the document of wh~thas been said here or as said
in his motion that the summary of the Council's
findings be included, pretty well determines the
way the Council feels about it so far.
.~ayor Coco said that the motion stands, though there
is a charter to consider professional zoning along
Fourth Street.
Councilman Klingelhofer s~ated that this is his
feeling.
Mayor Coco stated that he i.s in substantial agreement
with the feelings as expre'ssed here and he would like
to see the finest possible entrance to t:ie City,
consistent with the existing improvements on Fourth
Street near Yorba. The City has very strict archi-
tectural control under PC zoning and he does not see
a ~as station jungle even if this particular one were
Council Minutes
10/7/68 Pg. 5
approved. T]~ Council would have a different
arrangement if the corners in the City werQ under
discussion tonight. If the City were asked to
approve a gas station or service station on the
City corners, the corners to the west of Yorba
would still be under County control. Whereas if this
prezone were to come into the City of Tustinr the
other corners, being in the City, would be wholly
at the discretion of the Council. Mayor Coco said
he believes there is a problem when the Council
limits by a direct motion of the Council, a dis-
cussion to one particular kind of zone. For that reason
alone, he could not vote for the motion as he under-
stands it, but he is very much in favor of an open
end discussion in this area be it commercialr
residential, professional or industrial, so long as
the s~andards were the highest.
Councilman Marsters stated he felt that the maker
of the motion in at least getting the Council together
with the County and City Planning Commissions, is
taking a proper step and the Council should not
be badgered in their thinking that this property
might stay in the County and therefore the City
would lose control of it. The Council must do what
is right for the City. A gas Station on this corner
would be inconceivable. We Nave worked hard on this
particular'street and have to keep the s~andards
very high~
At the request of the Mayor, the motion by Councilman
Klingelhofer was read, and was found to contain no
limits on open end discussion.
Motion carried by roll call. Ayes: Coco, Mack,
Klingelhofer, Miller, Mars~ers, Noes: None. Absent:
None.
Five minute recess called by Mayor Coco. Meeting -.
reconven~d at 9:10.P.M.
2. PZ 68-111 - MELVIN G. AND GLENN R. BOLYARD
Application for prezonmng of approximately
2.4 acres as R-3 (Multiple Family) District.
Site fronts approximately 94 feet on the south-
west side of Nisson, 60 feet on the east side
of Pasadena, and 60 feet on the north side of
Myrtle, in the south Tustin area.
Hearing opened at 9:10 P.M.
Mr. supinger presented location, staff recon~endations
and planning Comsission recommendation for denial of
this prezone.
Mr. Melvyn G. Bo].vard requested change in density
from R-3-1250 ~o R-~15D0, stating that due to the
road dedications and connections and the cul=de-sac
on Myrtle Street all asked for by the City which
would result in a loss of area, a higher de.nFity
than the R-3-1750 recon~ended by the staff ~s required.
Mr. Richard Barron, 709 Begonia, Corona del Mar,
real estate broker representing the developer, showed
plans of the development and stated they were not using
the higher density and only needed between 28 and 30
Council Minutes
10/7/68 Pg. 6
units per acre &nd that there would not be any
twb-story development within 150 feet of the property
line.
Mr, William Arnold, 15631 Myrtle Avenue, s~ated
that the plans as presented, are acceptable except
for the cul-de-sac at the end of Myrtle. He said
the concern of the residents in the area was the
added flow of traffic on Myrtle and the added parking
by residents and guests in the apartement complex
parking in the cul-de-sac and walking through. Or,
if the emergency entrances are not closed off, this
would be another access route to the apartments.
Mr. Barron stated that they are supplying two parking
spaces per unit. The cul-de-sac was to satisfy the
engineering and fire departments for emergency access
only.
There being no further comments or objections, the
hearing was declared closed at 9:21 P.M.
Mr. Supinger stated that under the plan shown, entrances
off the cul-de-sac are for emegency purposes only,
and that the. three drives shown should be closed by
poles and heavy chains so they are not open to normal
access, Mr. Supinger said he did not feel there
would be any incentive to park on Myrtle.
Mr. Rourke.stated that any conditions such as the
150 foot set back from R-1 will have to be worked out
in an agreement and recorded with the County Recorder.
Councilman Marsters noted that the Planning Commission
had turned the original application for R-3 down and
the staff had rec6~nmended R-3-1750 and that the applican~
now requests R-3-1500. Councilman Marsters suggested
that this application be referred back to the Planning
Commission.
Moved b_y Marsters, seconded by Klingelhofer that
Application PZ 68-111 be referred back to the Planning
Commission for further study.
In answer to questioning by Councilman Miller, Mr. Halus,
Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated that it
would be inappropriate for him to quote fellow
Commissioners,.but that his concern was with the density
and traffic flow.
Mr. Gill stated that this is a prezoning. The annexation
proceeding has not yet started, but. there is a time
factor involved.
Mr. Supinger'stated that the new density offer is a
compromise between the staff recommendation and the
original application.
Mr. Gill stated that this plan with the cul-de-sac
shows entrances for emergency vehicles only. Myrtle
Avenue is the only access to the R-1 tract from
McFadden, and there should be emergency access here
for both the apartment and the residences. A block
wall would not be best for fire reasons. Heavy chains

10/7/68 Pg. 7
that can be cut. With a bolt cutter are acceptable
to the Fire Department or there could be a gate,
but it is best to construct a cul-de-sac and chain
off 'the entrances rather than making Myrtle a stub
street.
Above motion to refer this matter back to the
Planning Commission failed. Mack, Coco and Miller
voting no.
Mayor Coco said he saw no reason for returning this
matter to the Planning Commission. The Council has
their recommendations which could be part of Council
motion and there could be an agr. eement covering the
150 foot setback.
. e'napproved
subject to the execution of
effect that there be two parking spaces per apartment
unit, no building higher than one story be closer
than 150 feet to R-1 property, streets be dedicated
upon development, and access from cul-de-sac be limited
to emergency vehicles Qnly.
Moved by Klinqelhofer, seconded by Marsters that this
matter'be referred back to the Planning Cornmission for
further consideration. Motion failed - Coco, Mack,
--~ and Miller voting no.
Moved ky Miller, s_e.c_on~ded by Mack that PZ 68-1.11 of
Bolyard be a_!_prove~_subiect to the conditions in the
staff recorarnendations, plus the following:
1. Thsre be two (2) parking spaces per unit.
2.City reserve to itself all access to Myrtle
Street cul-de-sac.
3. No building higher than one story be constructed .....
closer than 15.0 feet to property line abutting
R-1 district.
4.Density be one unit per 1500 square foot of lot
area.
5. Right-of-way on Pasadena, Myrtle, and Nisson
Avenues be dedicated to the City at time of
development.

Noes: Klingelhofer, Marsters. Absent: None.
3. ZC 68-181 - ROBERT HALL
Kpplication for rezoning of approximately 2.46 acres
from the C-1 (Retail Commercial) District to the
--- R-3-1500 (Multiple Family Residential, 1500 square
feet of lot area per dwelling unit) District.
~ Subject site ~s a portion of a parcel totalling
4.63 acres which fronts 672 feet on the north side
of First Street, approximately 175 feet east of
Prospect Avenue and across from the Post Office.
Hearing opened at 10:00 P.M.
~r. S~pin_ g~ showed location and presented Planning
Conmission reconnnendations for approval subject to the
grantin9 of necessary street easements and construction
of street facilities and subject to the approval and
recordation of a parcel map creating separate parcels
to n~tch the proposed zone boundary lines (Parcel map
was approved by the P!anniz~g Commission 9/23/68.)
Council Minutes
10/7/68 Pg. 8
Mr. Robert ttall, applicant of 370 W. Fourth Street,
TuBtin, showed slides of the subject property and of
the surrounding. area and of developments similar to
the one proposed for this area. His proposal is for
Spanish style architecture two-story apartments. __
Entrance from First Street would be by a cul-de-sac.
Mr. Hall stated that the downtown area needed this
residential which would be a boost economically to
the Town Center as this development consists of 40
one-bedroom and 24 two-bedroom units. The~e would
be adequate parking as there would be 112 parking
spaces whereas the required number is only 96.
Mr. Mark Millard, 444 West Tenth Street, Santa Ana,
stated he is an attorney representing Mr. and Mrs.
Zekaria, owners of Palmwood Gardens. Mr. Mitlard
stated that this high density would bring parking
problems and traffic congestion and would result in
a vast devaluation of property value and they there-
fore requested that this petition for rezoning be
denied.
Mr. Henry Zekaria, 467 East First Street, owner of
Palmwood Gardens, showed pictures of high density
apartment areas in a neighboring town and commented
on the deplorable conditions he felt could arise
from high density developments. Mr. Zekaria also
spoke on the additional load on the already existing
parking and traffic congestion and th~ devaluation
of his property if this development is permitted.
Mr. Harr_y Holmes, 17801 Theodora Street and owner
of the proper~y at First ~nd "D", spoke in favor of
this zone change stating he felt the additional residents
would help the economics of the Town Center.
Mr. R. Howell of Frospect Park, spoke objecting to
the two-story apartments looking over on his residents. --
Mrs. Jean Cox of P~lmwood Gardens' objected to this
zone change due to 'the parking problems.
Mr. Robert Hall stated that as shown in the aerial
photo, there is no way for overflow parking between
his development and Palmwood Gardens.
There being no further comments or objections, the
hearing was declared closed at 10:50 P.M.
In answer to questioning by Councilman Marsters,
Mr. Supinger said that the overall parking study will
go ahead in the near future and a study session would
be set up at the next Commission meeting.
Councilman Miller stated that the parking should be
taken into consideration. As in the previous hearing,
this developer could have two parking spaces per unit.
R-3 is not necessarily poor development.
Mr. Rourke stated the need for an agreement to include
any parking requirements over the required amount.
Councilman Mack asked if the devaluation of the
Palmwood Gardens property could be substantiated.
~r. Gi~]~ answered that it would take an appraisal.
Council Minutes
10/7/68 Pg. 9
In answer to further questioning, Mr. Hall stated
that the distance between the Prospect Park residents
and his development would be approximately 55 feet
which includes Palmwood 25 foot drive, 'their garages,
plus 10 foot setback on his property.
Mr. Supinger stated that it appears from the diagram
that setbacks would not be adequate at all parcels
as some appear to be 5 feet and the requirement ms
10 feet.
Mayor Coco stated that he wanted to clarify that the
City does not have a Master Plan, but a General Plan
which does provide for residential as well as commercial
in the Town Center area.
Councilman Marsters said that he is concerned about
the high density in the downtown core area, with
creating a 140 foot commercial frontage and with
parking. We should have a full parking study.
Councilman Miller recalled a similar zoning problem
in 1962 which was turned down and he is concerned
that this would create a commercial property problem.
Councilman Kling~lhofer felt that frontage commercial
could pose a problem, but there seems to be no big
commercial' center in the near future. This appears
adequate and a proper zone change if the applicant is
willing to accept the requirement of two parking spaces
per unit.
Mr. Hall said~there could be two spaces if he can
re-design the cul-de-sac.
Moved by Klingelhofer, seconded by Coco that Zone
Change 68-181, as presented, be ap_proved and the
City Attorney directed to draft the Ordinance and
agreement stipulating two parking spaces per unit. ' .......
Councilman Mack stated'he has no objections to Mr.
Hall's development, but that it bothers him to think
the Council might have a hand in a $300,000 property
value loss.
Mayor 'Coco stated he could not see the difference
in this zone change from any other action taken by
the Council. He concurred with the statement that
high density could help the existing commercial.
Councilman Mack said he would like to see deferment
until he could see some indication of the effect on
the surrounding area.
Above motion for approval failed. Councilmen Mack,
Miller and Marsters voting no.
Moved bZ Mack, seconded b~ Miller that this zone change
[~plication be reconsidered at the next re%ular meetinq
and an ~ffort be ma~e to find out the la~d value effect
on the surrounding area.
Mr. Gill stated that he would h~ve to enlist the services
of an appraiser as the staff could not mak3 judgement.
This suggestion met with Council approval.
Above motion carried unanimously.

4. ZC 68-185 - BILL JENSEN ON BEHALF OF HARLAN CROSS
Application for rezoning from the C-1 (Retail
Cor~nercial) District to the C-2 (General Commercial
District, a parcel of land fronting 150 feet on
the north side of First Street, approximately
180 feet east of the centerline of Prospect Avenue.
Hearing opened at 11:32 P.M.
Mr. Supin~er presented Planning Commission recommendations
for approval and slides showing the location of subject
property and surrounding area.
Mr. L. Salvaneschi, representing McDonald's, stated
that they had started looking for a location two
years ago and had examined all the existing C-2 property~
For a nun~er of reasons, it was felt that this would be
an ideal location and the zone change logical. The
change would not be drastic'and the are~ needs revitalizing.
Their plan calls for Spanish architecture and land-
scapin~ - a far cry from the normal splashy colors.
This development would add taxes to the City as well
as employment as McDonald's hires about 30 students
per unit.
There being no objections or further comments, the
hearing was declared closed at 11:40 P.M.
In answer to questioning, Mr. Supl~ger stated that
this use would require a use permit even in the C-2
zone.
Councilman Miller_questioned the use of the golden
arches and stated ha did not think they a~e necessary
and that he is against their use.
Mr. Salvaneschi said they would be more than happy to
work with the Architectural Committee. He stated
that they were not 100% dependent on the arches,
but he would not say that they are not essential.
Mr. Supinger stated the staff has had preliminary
discussions with the applicant and had indicated it
would be good to replace brick with slumpstone and
had informed them that the mechanical equipment on
the roof would require screening and that the arches
would require a variance.
After further discussion and questioning, Mr. Salvaneschi
stated he could say they would remove the arches if
necessary.
Mr. Jensen, real estate agent, stated that all papers
for Use P~rmit are in order, and they would prefer
moving along with this application as rapidly as possible.
Moved by Klingelhofer, seconded b~ Miller that zone
change a~olicatio~ ~_~o. 65-185 be approved. Carried
~nan~mously.
