view of industrially zoned area. Proposed development would not create as much a traffic problem as another industrial use because peak hours would differ from industrial uses. Strip zoning would not result since Kilroy controls north side of Warner and Standard Pressed Steel and Segerstrcms control south side. Proposed use would be objectionable in any other zone except agricultural. Advantages of sales, property, and gas tax revenue. Stmflar establishments in industrial areas of other cities have caused no problems. Mr. Heinly noted that proposed plans of frontages and parking layout had been submitted; that two driveway openings would be required on Warner; and that the applicant would object to paying $4,900.00 for the improvement of Harbor Boulevard. Milford W. Dahl, kO1 W. 8th Street, representing C. J. SegerstrCm and Sons, largest single property owner, and industrial occupants in area zoned M-1 on map shown on wall, all of whom objected to the proposal. Ted Adsit, 627 Rock- ford Road, Corona Del Mar, professional planner for Segerstroms, spoke in opposition to the application and presented exhibits as follows: Oranse Count~ Industrial Land Demand - urging the City of Santa Aha to maintain its industrial zoning; noting that the C.M.A. was built in an industrial zone of Anaheim and that recently five of the fifteen industrial plants around it were empty and for lease. Master Plan of Industries in Anaheim - showing plans made to provide for 23 per cent of industrial acreage in Orange County by 1980. Santa Aha Industrial Areas - application is in prime industrial area because of present and proposed freeway locations~ showed areas owned by aPPlicant and Segerstrnm-. Se~erstrom Industrial District - listing ten requirements for developing and promoting an industrial district and submitting that a retail discount department store is undesirable use and detrimental to development of Segerstrem Industrial District. Land Use Aerial Map - showing 12 acres proposed for discount house, remainder of property owned by applicant, and Segerstrem Industrial District. Submitted pictures of Voit Rubber Company, Collins Radio, Micrnm-tic, Western Semiconductors, Standard Pressed Steel Company, and Harbor Boulevard as it is orderly developed in southern industrial area and how it differs from commercially developed northern portion. It was moved by Counc~lm-- Hubbard, seconded by Councilman Schlueter and carried that the pictures be received and ordered filed. Mr. Dahl submitted letters opposing the application from W. J. Voit Company, Standard Pressed Steel, Collins Radio, Colman Electronics, Micromatic, Western Semiconductors, Inc., W. D. Schock Company, R. C. Can C~mpany, and Hallicrafters Company, statiug that they represented all industries in area and that rep- rem~a~e~xma.~. ~.~ ~e f~m~ s~m~z~mg .~-~=rs were present. It was moved by CounciLman Hubbard, seconded by Councilman Schlueter and carried that the letters be received and ordered filed. Mr. Dahl concluded his presentation by asking the Council to follow the conclusion of the Planning Commission, who had studied the matter thoroughly, and deny the application. Mr. Heinly made rebuttal statements regarding the following: The Planning Co~ission report indicated they were not making denial on merits because this was a policy decision for the City Council. If the proposed use of property on the corner of Harbor and Warner is detrimental to industrial area, then the C-1 property owned by Segerstroms is also detrimental; that the breaking down of industrial area is not the issue; that Kilroy desires to maintain the integrity of the industrial area as much as anyone. Regarding the C.M.A. store, that there is only one vacant building ~ecause Mr. Kilroy controls that area. That the proposed operation will not interfere with one of the ten operations listed as requirements for the industrial district. Noted that letters of protests should be within 300 foot radius of application. That the Pl-nning Department and Commission made no recnmmendation as they are in disagreement with respect to location of discount houses. That applicant is entitled to put development someplace. Mrs. Janice Boer, 912 N. Lowell, noted that most housewives do not go to grocery store between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m.~ that the signalized intersection at Warner and Harbor will need a storage area for left turning; and that traffic coming south and coming from the west will be blind. There being no further testimony, the hearing was closed. COUNCIL - 166 - August 5, 1963
