Councilman Villa concerning the
application to construct a private
club in the M 1 District at 1430
S. Ritchey Street; APPROVED,
the Director of Planning stated that the staff recommended denial of CUP 71-26
based on the land use. This is an M 1 District and the staff wants to hold the
line on these uses in an M 1 area.

Use Permit since is is a private club, which is discriminatory.
Mr. Gust Krueger, applicant, 9292 Murline Drive, Garden Grove, stated
that this is not a private club; that it is a public, club; :
throughout; that the misunderstanding began with the first application in which
it was erroneously designated as a private club. In response to questions from

anyone would be accepted for membership provided they have no bad record --
and that this would be true for white, Negro, Jewish, or anyone being considered;

may bring guests at any time, and that anyone may use the restaurant, bar, and
dance facilities.

CITY COUNCIL -404- December 6, 1971
PLANNED RESIDENTIAL The Mayor opened the public
DEVELOPMENT hearing on a proposed ordinance
to establish a planned residential
zone and a statement of policy pertaining to private street standards within
planned residential zone s.
The City Manager stated that the Planned Residential Development procedure
originated from the Planning Commission and came about through a direct
set of instructions from the Planning Commission to the Planning staff; that
members of the Administrative staff are not in agreement; that the plan provides
for development of land by methods other than those required by normal
regulations; that the City could be placed in jeopardy with the development of
properties with vastly increased numbers of units; that the basic a~' ~umption
is development of a piece of property with eight units per acre instead of the
five maximum possible under the normal 6, 000 square foot requirement; that
it is the opinion of the staff that if the City Council proceeds with the plan,
additional regulations should be written into it.
The Mayor asked for specifics in regard to the restrictions, and the City
Manager stated that the plan should not be applied to any pieces of property
of less than 20 acres.
The Director of Planning stated that the proposed ordinance is based on the
hyphenate(t-suffix approach; that the Planned Residential Development zone
could be an overlay zone used With the RE, R 1, R 2, R 3, R 3H, R 4, CR
and P zones; that it could be added when the zoning is first established or
by later amendment; and that the purpose of the ordinance is to allow rnbre
freedom in the layout of developments to get away from the rectangular lots;
that the procedure would also require the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit--
the variance procedure could not be used; that the Commission would like to retain
as much flexibility as possible in evaluating each proposal that comes before
it; thai some of the standards incorporated in this ordinance are actually much
tighter than we currently have; that the off street parking regulations would
require two garages or carport plus one offstreet space for every dwelling unit.
The Director of Planning also called attention to Sec. 34-68 - Exceptions/
Waivers to Subdivision Ordinance, which could cause difficulties if Chapter 34
of the Municipal Code is opened to waiver; and also reviewed the Statement of
Policy regarding Private Street Standards. He stated that part of the success
of PRD~s in other cities is due to the use of private streets; that these streets
would have to be built to the standards of public streets; that the proposed
ordinance allows some flexibility and innovation in the development of designs.
Mr. Waldo Haug, Chairman of the Santa Ana Planning Commission stated that
the Commission put a great deal of time and study into this work; and that he
wished to point out that the Planning Commission Resolution was unanimously
passed.
Mr. Van Stevens of Pacific Investments, 1840 E. 17th Street, submitted a
letter to the Council which he reviewed orally. Pie stated the PRD is an
alternative to providing housing; that the standards do not automatically
apply but depend on what is submitted, the judgment of the staff, and the
ultimate decision of the Council.
CITY COUNCIL -405- December 6, 1971
PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT - (Continued)
Mrs. Demetra Rosier, 2506 N. Linwood, asked if this new policy would
establish a precedent in regard to Amendment Applications on the agenda
and was assured it had no bearing on them whatsoever.
There were no further proponents or opponents in the matter, and the
Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilman Evans asked if the private streets would create police,
maintenance, or traffic problems. The Planning Director stated that this
is one reason for requiring the private streets to conform to City standards;
that the Homewoners' Association would take the responsibility in these
matters, but the City could be called in if if became necessary. Councilman
Evans also asked if the City would be limited in maintaining street areas,
walkways and parkways in the event the Horaeowners' Association would be
unable to provide upkeep. The City Attorney stated that the City could
assist, but in his opinion the streets should be dedicated to the public and
maintained by the public.
Councilman Patterson stated he has been interested in a PRD zone for the City
for some time; that the ordinance is restrictive, with all protections, and
that density and height requirements would be maintained within the base district;
that he would like to refer the report to staff for further review and report;
that his only criticism is lack of limitation as to minimum size.
Mayor Griset stated he was in favor of the principle set out but is concerned

requesting that the hearing on
A.A. 689 filed by Marvin M. Rohrs to prezone a parcel of land located on
the north side of Santa Clara Avenue between Old Grand Street and Tustin
Avenue previously prezoned 60-A1-7200 (A 1 in unincorporated Orange County)
to the R 2 District, be continued to February 7 1972, in order to provide
specific plans and more detailed knowledge to those in the area who are
interested.
Mr. Van Stevens of Pacific Investments stated that it was their understanding
that considerable concern was expressed by persons from the neighborhood
during the Planning Commission hearing; that since there was no rush on the
project, they felt that if they submitted a full, detailed proposal on a
variance, it would be possible to set the conditions that would possibly receive
the support of the neighborhood; that they asked for continuance to February
in order to avoid continuing it into the Holidays.
Mrs. Demetra Rosier, 2506 N. Linwood, spoke against the Amendment
Application and continuance of the hearing.
Councilman Patterson explained that this matter is a zone change whicll iS
not restrictive as to development; that if the developer returns on February

APPLICATION FOR The Mayor opened the public
PAWNBROKER'S CERTIFICATE hearing on the appeal filed by
Rober Borgerson from Police
Cheif's denial of a Certificate to engage in the business of a pawnbroker in
the City of Santa Ana, which had been continued from November 15 in order
that the applicant might file an amended application.
Mr. Thomas Murphy, 401 Civic Center Drive, 'Attorney representing the
applicant, stated that a second application had been filed with certain attach-
ments to explain his clients' position, and that the original application was
in error due to a misunderstanding as to the original financial arrangement.
Detective Lacy of the Santa Ana Police Department stated that when Mr. Holland
made his original application for a pawn shop in the City of Santa Ana~ Mr.
Borgerson was with him, and was asked if he would be a silent partner; that
Mr. Borgerson said he was merely furnishing funds in the form of a loan, but
it was later determined that he was, in fact, a partner in the business; that
he was denied the license for two reasons -- a prior conviction and misrepre-
sentation on the application.
The City Attorney stated that only after Mr. Borgerson's true capacity in the
business was discovered did he reveal himself as a partner; that the essence
of requiring a business permit in this circumstance is to assure that the
operators of the business are free from question in the receipt of goods.
In response to Councilman Villa's suggestion that the misrepresentation was
on the application filed by Mr. Holland, and not by Mr. Borgerson, the ~tty
Attorney stated that Mr. Borgerson was present when the application wa~iled
and certain oral representations were made; and that fred of One par~Jcu4~r

APPEAL #285 The Mayor opened the public
VA 71-56 hearing on Appeal #285 filed
ALFRED NEVILLE WEST by Alfred Neville West appealing
the Planning Commission's denial
of VA 71-56 to use an existing single family residence as an office in the tt 2
District at 1264 E. 14th Street.
The Director of Planning stated that the area is predominantly residential and
there would be a requirement that the applicant provide one offstreet parking
space for each office created; that because of the location on Grand Avenue, it
would not be possible to permit access to the property from Grand due to heavy
traffic; that it is not possible to work out the required parking; and that if a
variance is granted, it will run with the property and there wbuld be no control
over the owner of the property if it should be sold. He stated that both the staff
and the Planning Commission recommended denial.
Mr. Dale I-Ieinly, Attorney, 611 Civic Center Drive West, spoke on behalf of
the applicant and submitted a letter to the Council in the matter. He disagreed
that the area is predominantly residential and stated it is in transition from
residential to commercial; that if the variance is granted, a condition could be
imposed limiting it to the applicant and his particular use; that this will be an
artist center to create ideas for advertisers and that clients do not come to
the premises; that the only parking necessary would be for five employees.
Mr. Charles Cohen, 1404 N. Grand, spoke in favor of the appeal. He stated
he is the owner of the property and has had difficulty over the past four years
in renting it as a residence; that it is a poor location for a residence, and the
people who move into it are of a transient nature; that he cannot keep it rented
to a reliable tenant.
Mr. Neville West, 2113 N. Millwood, the applicant, stated that he wished to
develop the property in a good manner; that his objective is to ultimately construct
an 1800 square foot building on the property, hopefully in the next ttxr~e years;
that he would prefer not to have the variance restricted to him alone; that
traffic and parking should be no problem.
CITY COUNCIL -409- December 6, 1971
APPEAL #285, VA 71-56
ALFRED NEVILLE WEST - (Continued)
Mr. Steven Brown, 1319 N. Eastwood, presented a petition signed by 13
homeowners of the adjacent tract objecting to the variance, stating it
would change the nature of the neighborhood and bring traffic in; that
there are many small children in the neighborhood; that the house in
question was not designed for office use, and they do not want to see a.
precedent established; that all other commercial properties in the area
face onto Grand, and on the east side of Grand are residential
establishments. He also mentioned deed restrictions which, after discussion,
appeared not to apply to this situation.
Councilman Herrin's motion, seconded by Councilman Markel, to receive
and file the communication, was unanimously carried.
Mr. W.D. Hodge, 1258 E. 14th Street, also spoke in opposition to the
variance.
There were no further proponents or opponents, and the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
Councilman Markel's motion to overrule the action of the Planning Commission
and instruct the City Attorney to prepare a Resolution approving Variance
Application 71-56 was seconded by Councilman Herrin with the conditions that
the variance is applicable only to Mr. West and his present use, with a three-
year term on the variance, to be reviewed at the Council meeting of December

Mrs. Margie Barr, stated that she and her husband own an auto salvage yard
at 826 E. Washington; that if parking spaces in front of their business are
removed, and their customers are required to park inside the fenced area,
they will have to back onto Washingto~ which would be very hazardous; that
they usually have two or three customers at one time and need parking on
the street. Upon checking, the staff determined that the salvage yard is
outside the report' s recommended area.
There were no further proponents or opponents, and the Clerk reported no
written communications had been received. The Mayor closed the public
hearing.

and to extend its termination date to October 31j 1978 was being considered.
Councilman Evans asked if Great Western Reclamation, Inc., could sell
or merge with another corporation without Council approval. The City
Attorney stated that the only thing not covered in the contract would be an
involuntary assignment; that Council could not prevent any sale of stock but
that the contract could be voided.
Councilman Herrin stated he would not be in favor of an extension in the
first year of the prior extension; that the contractor wishes to buy land and
extend his facility to do a better job, and he would be happy to support the
proposal in the last year of the contract. He also stated there might be
legal problems involved due to the extent of modifications to the. original
agreement. Councilman Patterson compared the situation to a lease, wherein
the lessee would make improvements and the landlord would give him a long
enough lease to amortize the debt over a number of years.
Councilman Markel stated he was opposed lo extension of the contract for the
purpose of purchasing property and buildings.
Councilman Evans requested clarification of legal problems; stating he had
been concerned that the business could be sold and the contract would still
be valid with the new owners. The City Attorney stated that by. Subdivision
6 of the contract, in the event the business were sold or the contract assigned,
it would require the consent of the Council to be bound to the contract with a
vendor or assignee; that there is no legal problem because of not putting it
out to bid when extending it; that the City has the right to reasonably alter
and amend contracts.
