City Council Approves Several Variances, Deny Church Structure Four public hearings in Anaheim's City Council chamber on Tuesday night won quick approval, having met no opposition. Leonard Smith, 433 W. Center Street, requested that property located at 411-415 So. Claudina Street be reclassified from R-3 (multiple dwelling) to M-1 (light manufacturing). His intention is to tear down the existing building and erect a structure to be used as a warehouse, with the council approving. A variance to build four one-bedroom, two-story apartments at 12822 Midway Drive was granted to G. E. Earp. John H. Brandes and Robert Wallace Gordon requested re-classification of their property at 216 and 222 So. Manchester from C-2 (general commercial) to M-1, and received a recommendation for same. Horace T. Crain, 8942 E. Lincoln Avenue, was granted permission to install an auto electric repair and tune-up shop at this address, providing he can meet engineering requirements. The Council denied a request from the Rev. Charles F. Wichner of the Full Gospel Tabernacle to erect a Wonder building, a prefabricated steel structure, for his church. His plan was to build at 2040 W. Ball Road, at a cost of about $3,500, but Councilman Rex Coons objected on the grounds that such a structure would not comply with the California building code, where special provisions must be made for earthquakes. The council was loath to refuse permission for a church building, and Mayor Charles A. Pearson suggested that Rev. Wichner try to find other plans for his church to conform to local codes. The Council further approved the expenditure of $42,764.83 for local street improvements with five bids awarded. A bid of $2,-120 was awarded to R. J. Noble Company for improvements on Orangewood Avenue from Ninth Street.
