Zoning Description In response to requests from readers, the Gazette presents the following brief definitions of the zoning areas used in the city. The descriptions are only in capsule form and are intended to give the reader no more than a general idea of what each classification permits. For specific information, contact the City Planning Department. The information was provided by Jack Rogoway, zoning division, City Planning Department. R-A: Residential - Agriculture zone. The classification is usually intended as a holding zone and applied to large parcels not developed. It is, however, a legitimate zoning and allows agricultural use or one single family residence, regardless of the size of the parcel. R-1: One-family residential zone. A single family residence is permitted on a minimum size lot of 7,200 sq. ft. with a 70 ft. frontage. R-O: One-family suburban zone. Minimum lot size is 10,000 sq. ft. with a 90 ft. frontage. This particular classification is rare in Anaheim and is intended for the larger, estate-type homes. R-2: Two-family residential zone. The class allows a duplex or one unit to 38,000 sq. ft. of lot area. R-3: Multiple family residential zone. Permits one unit per 1,200 sq. ft. and must be one story within 150 ft. of any single family residential zone. C-1: Neighborhood commercial zone. Professional offices, services businesses and retail stores dealing principally in new merchandise are permitted in this classification. Generally coming under this class are shopping centers. A specific list naming the exact types of businesses allowed. Anaheim Established in 1870 ...

City Employes To Get Boost In Salaries A new salary ordinance boosting wages of most of the 801 city employees was adopted last Wednesday by the Anaheim City Council. The boosts, based on recommendations by Roy Heissner, personnel director, will average 5.8 per cent and raise taxpayers costs an additional $310,000 next fiscal year. Total wage cost is expected to be $5.8 million. Heisner made his recommendation on the basis of a survey of all jobs in comparison with other municipalities and private industry. Of the employees, 27 will not have raises, he said, because the survey indicated they were already being compensated. Salary adjustments for city electrical workers may be made Recreation Dept. Sets Swim Dates If you've ever been interested in learning how to swim, dive, or get checked out in Junior or Senior Lifesaving, then lend an ear. The Anaheim Park and Recreation Department has announced a complete and well-balanced program in their Aquatics Division intended to satisfy everyone's needs. Included in the schedule which will open June 16, with lessons beginning two days later, are classes for beginners, water ballet, advanced diving, and intermediate swimmers.

LinBrook-Lincoln Park Civic Group Battle Next Week The Lincoln Park Civic Association and LinBrook Hardware have faced each other in 42 public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council since the store was built in 1956. Bitterness, charges and counter-charges have been the hallmarks of the continuing fight, the latest of which were the charges made Monday by City Planning Commissioner James Chavis that there is a 'conflict of interest' between LinBrook and the city, and that LinBrook is in violation of several city zoning ordinances. The Gazette will carry the full story of this fight since its start until today, including the views of all parties concerned, in next week's issue. Friends To Honor Bill Stronach At Disneyland Fete William B. (Bill) Stronach, City Parks and Recreation director who resigned last month, will be honored by friends and associates Wednesday evening, 7:30 p.m., with a dinner at the Disneyland Hotel. Stronach will be presented with a plaque and card of appreciation. Expected to attend are A. J. Schutte and Fred T. Krein, city Councilmen: Wayne Reedstrom, exponent of a regional park for western Orange County; John Wright, Parks and recreation commissioner, and park and recreation leaders from surrounding cities. An answer to future development of small lot parcels in Orange County may come from a new office building on Harbor Blvd. in Anaheim. George Baney, builder of Glacier Falls Ice Arena, has constructed a plush eight-unit office building — complete with parking facilities — on a lot that measures only 47 by 95 feet — about 3000 square feet less than most residential lots. But the important factor is that the building utilizes space on a major thoroughfare that otherwise would simply sprout weeds. Orange County land is worth nine times as much as it was in 1950 — forcing the small-lot owner on a busy thoroughfare into either a high-rise development or no development at all, said Baney. "He's forced into it because he also must allocate space for parking. And yet, at the same time, most of these small parcels are Office Building Use of Small class allows a duplex lot to 36,000 sq. ft. of lot multiple family resine.

This classification is found generally in the downtown area and permits most retail stores, service businesses, and professional offices, and also permits warehouse and light manufacturing where such is essential to business. In this zone, an awning chair store would be permitted to store the chairs and also to put them together if this was necessary. C-3: Heavy Commercial zone. Most manufacturing usages, including a limited amount of incidental manufacturing and storage is permitted. The zone is not overly common in Anaheim. Included in this group would be automotive garages. It is intended as a heavy catch-all. M-1: Light manufacturing zone. The zone is restrictive in as much as it allows only for a specific list of industries and light manufacturing usage which are not offensive due to smoke, odor, dust, noise, etc. Under this class would come electronics plants. M-2: Heavy manufacturing zone. The classification permits industrial usage usually heavier than in M-1 zone, some of which could be offensive, but which are subject to a conditional use permit. Included here would be metal rolling mills and breweries. PL: Parking-landscaping zone.

YMCA Indian Guides Schedule Spring Camp-out This Weekend Big and little Eastern Nation YMCA Indian Guide braves of the Anaheim YMCA will converge at Camp El Circulo, Carbon Canyon, for their annual spring camp-out this week-end. Steven Schrader, nation chief, reported committees are planning for exhibits of tribal craft achievements among the events. Judges will evaluate tribal camps, craft projects, and activity performance of each tribe. Big Brave Lawrence Weber with other Delaware braves heads the camp-out arrangements. Braves will set up their teepees and dwellings in tribal groups. A full program, of training, sports activities and campfires is planned for the several hundred big and little braves at the monthly inter-tribal event. Registrations by tribes are being received by Nation Wampum Bearer Lynn Bush. OCSC Expects 2200 More than 2,200 students will enroll at Orange County State College for the year 1962-1963, according to Emmett T. Long, Associate Dean of Admissions and Records. This represents an increase of approximately 300 over the 1962 Spring semester enrollment, states Dean Long. Building Makes Small Size Lot Utilizes space on a shifte that otherwise sprout weeds.

In 30 or 40 years, Baney believes, the entire stretch of Harbor Blvd. probably will be a strip of skyscrapers — a Miracle Mile from the beach to La Habra. "But in the meantime, owners are stuck with paying taxes and cutting weeds. The land is too expensive and not fit for residential use and so there's no recourse but to go into the air," Baney said. Baney, known for his quality of product, not only has generated a new idea in land use — but also includes every service imaginable — sprinkling system, air conditioning, carpeting, landscaping, background music, etc. Progress has opened the door to the large land owner — perhaps George Baney has opened the door to the small lot owner. need for Readers some electronics plants.

Variance: This permits a person to do something to the property that is not normally permitted in the zone on which the property is located. A variance is not granted on a property unless a physical hardship exists, such as the oddness of the property shape or size. Conditional Use permit. Allows usages which are normally permitted in a zone but, by their nature, need control. A church, for instance, is allowed in any zone classification, but the use and developmental plans must be reviewed to determine if the church will conflict with surrounding usage, or if surrounding usage will conflict with the church. It is under this action walls are required in some instances to separate certain types of developments from others. Home City Of DISNEYLAND Entertainment Guide For America's HUB OF HAPPINESS' Pay your Newsboy only 25¢ Per Month—Phone PR 2-1800 West Anaheim PEBLEY PROPERTY ONE SITE; BEACH-ORANGE INTERSECTION SECOND By BOB ABBORENO Gazette News Editor Partial solution to Anaheim's hospital predicament came from two separate sources this week. A group of six Anaheim and area doctors lead by Dr. Joseph P. Gleason, 6189 La Palma Ave., Buena Park, submitted plans to the Planning Department Monday for a 100-bed hospital to be constructed at the corners of Beach Blvd. and Orange Ave. Young-Cor Corp., a group of 31 city and area doctors, expressed their intention last week of applying for a conditional use permit to build a second hospital on the recently contested Calvin Pebley property at Knott Ave. and Ball Rd. The two groups are completely independent of the other and were only vaguely aware of each others' intentions. A check, Tuesday, at the Planning Department, revealed, however, that the application for Young-Cor's conditional use permit had not as yet been filed. Byron K. McMillan, attorney for Young-Cor, expressed surprise when told the application had not been received, but told the Gazette it would be in before tomorrow. Gleason said his group has been anticipating the hospital they plan to construct at Beach and Orange for the past eight or nine years. He said he and his five associates have been forced to split the local area, has 3.8 beds per thousand population. The Anaheim Memorial group attempted to work out an arrangement with the city to allow the sale of tax-free bonds to finance needed additions. In return, hospital facilities, constructed under the bond issue, would be given back to the city. Both, the Young-Cor group, and Dr. Gleason and his five associates, plan their venture to be financed by private means — by the doctors involved. Gleason and McMillan, speaking for Young-Cor, said the hospital would be owned and operated entirely by the doctors and that no private individuals, other than the doctors, would own stock in the institutions. Both hospitals are intended to be built to accommodate 100 beds, but will expand in the future to 200 beds each. The hospital at Beach and Orange will include a 56-bed convalescent home, a two-story office building for at least 12 doctors, and a pharmacy. In all, including the hospital, four separate buildings are planned. Hospital floor space is set at 45,000 sq. ft. Initial cost is set at $1 million. The Young-Cor Corporation venture is planned for the Calvin Pebley property at Knott Ave. and Ball Rd., will involve a 10-acre parcel of land and may cost $2 million. Pebley's attempt to erect multiple unit housing on the property... Byron R. McMillan, attorney for Young-Cor, expressed surprise when told the application had not been received, but told the Gazette it would be in before tomorrow. Gleason said his group has been anticipating the hospital they plan to construct at Beach and Orange for the past eight or nine years. He said he and his five associates have been forced to split their cases between the three hospitals in the city. He declined to mention the names of the five doctors who will combine with him in building the hospital until after the conditional use permit is granted. The group will appear before the Planning Commission June 25. It is expected to be another three weeks before they reach the City Council. Young-Cor appeared before the City Council last Wednesday, along with a group from Anaheim Memorial Hospital. The Council was told that the city was deficient at least 280 beds — 2.6 beds per thousand population against the California Public Health Department's required 4.5 per thousand and the U.S. Public Health Service standards of 5.3 beds per thousand.
