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 Council Minutes 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. Motion carried by roll call. Ayes: Coco, Mack, Miller. 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. Council Minutes 10/7/68 Pg. 10 Mayor Coco called a short recess. Meeting reconvened at 11:32 P.M. 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. Council Minutes 10/7/68 Pg. 11 VII. OLD 1.
