Today, 125 years later, there are over 61,000 meters serving
nearly 340,000 residents and businesses, using an average of
67 million gallons of water a day. The City has 13 reservoirs,
27 wells, 744 miles of water mains and annual water production
of more than 24 billion gallons.
To commemorate this historic milestone, in May Anaheim
Public Utilities hosted a variety of promotions and activities
including a fire hydrant painting contest, a poster contest, and
the creation of an historical water display unveiled as part of a
special ceremony that designated Anaheim’s early water system
as an Orange County Historical Landmark. ❚

The program grants residents making home improvements a fee waiver for City permits issued from March 1 to
May 31. It also provides amnesty to residents who have made
improvements without obtaining permits, allowing them to
acquire the required permits free of charge. The City has
waived $372,875 in fees, or approximately $188 per permit.
During March and April, the City’s Planning Department
issued 1,981 residential building permits, including 883 building permits, 435 electrical permits, 243 mechanical permits,
344 plumbing permits, and 76 swimming pool permits.

The Foundation bestowed the designation based on the
City’s ongoing efforts to plant and maintain trees throughout
the community.
In addition, this year, Anaheim Public Utilities was the
recipient of the prestigious Tree Line USA Award, recognizing
the implementation of a quality tree care program. Only 114
utility companies nationwide received the award, which is
presented as a joint effort between the Arbor Day Foundation
and the National Association of State Foresters.
Anaheim’s TreePower program, a joint effort between the
Public Utilities and Community Services Departments, has
distributed more than 24,500 trees. With these shade trees,
air-conditioning costs can be reduced by as much as 10 percent
to 40 percent. At maturity, the trees will save approximately
1.6 million kWhs (or enough energy to power 272 households
for a full year), in addition to removing over 138 tons of carbon
dioxide annually while saving as much as 40 percent in air
conditioning costs. ❚
ABLE TO ASSIST OTHERS WHO ARE IMPACTED BY
AN EARTHQUAKE, FLOOD OR OTHER DISASTERS.
To help build community resources that can be tapped
during times of crisis, the Fire Department’s Office of Disaster
Preparedness is offering the next session of Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT) training on Wednesdays,
from June 9 through July 28.
Sessions will be offered from 1-3 P.M. or 7-9 P.M. for eight
weeks and will help residents learn what to do before, during,
and after any disaster—especially a catastrophic earthquake.
Eight free training classes will cover topics such as: Emergency Preparedness & Terrorism; Light Search and Rescue;
Disaster Medical and First Aid; Care and Shelter; and other
related subjects. After all the classes have been completed, participants will be recognized for their achievement by the City
Council and become a certified CERT member.
CERT training makes a difference in saving lives and protecting property. With training, preparation, practice and learning
to work as a team, CERT members will be able to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people in case of a disaster.

Anaheim’s General Plan
Update Nears Final Approval
Blueprint
A
NAHEIM’S
GENERAL PLAN IS THE BLUEPRINT THAT SETS THE POLICIES FOR THE CRIT-
plans and measures for preserving open space for natural
resources, for managing the production of resources, for outdoor recreation, and for public health and safety.
The Noise Element identifies and analyzes projected noise
conditions in the community and must include measures to
abate or mitigate excessive noise levels.
The Safety Element must identify seismic, geologic, flood
and wildfire hazards, and establish policies to protect the community from such hazards.
In addition to the required elements, California law provides cities the option of including other elements that may
assist in improving the quality of life for residents. Anaheim
has chosen to include optional elements in its new General Plan
that include: Parks, Recreation and Community Services;
Growth Management; Economic Development; Community
Design; and Public Services and Facilities.
The Zoning Code is being updated in conjunction with the
General Plan to ensure that the proper tools are in place to
implement the new goals and policies of the General Plan.
As part of the extensive process, the City recently completed
a review period for the Environmental Impact Report for the
updated documents, allowing the public the opportunity to
provide their input on the changes proposed by the General
Plan and Zoning Code updates.
Following review of that input in the next few months, the
final step in the General Plan Update takes place when the
City Council votes on whether or not to approve this sweeping
new blueprint for the City.
ICAL FACTORS THAT SHAPE THE DYNAMICS OF
CITY.
THE
To reflect the dramatic changing economic, social, demographic and physical conditions about land use throughout
Anaheim, the City began a comprehensive update of the General Plan in 2001.
State law actually requires that all cities in California have a
General Plan. Although the State gives individual cities flexibility in the content and format of their General Plans, there
are seven required “elements”, or chapters, that every General
Plan must include.
The Land Use Element describes objectives, policies and
programs for areas in Anaheim’s boundaries in both narrative
and graphic terms and establishes development criteria and
standards including building and population density.
The Circulation Element deals with the identification,
location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation facilities and bicycle/pedestrian routes.
The Housing Element assesses the need for housing for
all different types of income groups, then sets out a plan to
address the identified housing needs. State Law requires this
Element be updated every five years, so it is on a separate time
line than the remainder of the General Plan Update. The City’s
Housing Element was last certified in February 2003.
The Conservation Element addresses the identification,
conservation, development, and use of resources including
water, forests, soils, waterways, wildlife, and mineral deposits.
The Open Space Element provides a plan for the long-term
preservation of open space in the community. It must specify

The General Plan is an important
long-range planning tool that sets
the foundation for future decisions concerning the City’s land
use pattern, various public services, the physical character of the
community and other important
aspects of community life. It is a
blueprint for future growth that
reflects community values and
provides direction for making
these values a reality.
The Zoning Code is the primary tool for implementing the General Plan. It is a set of regulations that prescribes what landowners can
or cannot do with their property. The Zoning
Code has an associated Zoning Map that
identifies each parcel in the City as being
located within a specific “zone”. Each zone
has individual site development standards
that cover topics such as permitted and conditionally permitted uses, building setbacks,
height limitations, parking requirements,
landscaping standards, and signage.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires
that local government agencies, prior to taking action on
projects over which they have discretionary approval
authority, consider the environmental consequences of the
project. The Environmental Impact Report analyzes potential
impacts to a broad range of environmental resources. They
may include aesthetics, air quality, biological resources,
cultural resources, geology, soils, hazards, and hazardous
materials, hydrology, and water quality, land use and relevant planning, mineral resources, noise, police and fire services, population and housing, public services and facilities,
recreation, and traffic and circulation. Collage: © Tax i/ Jean Louis Batt

teenagers in Anaheim,and all they wanted to
do was make music. Like most things
worthwhile, it took years of hard work, but
with a little luck, good timing and a whole
lotta talent, No Doubt has become a mainstay of the MTV generation. Through their
music, they’ve traveled the world . . . but
they’ve never forgotten their Anaheim roots.
Doubt started when I was a junior.I had been
playing bass guitar in the AHS jazz band for
one year at that point. I remember playing
with No Doubt at Fenders in Long Beach or
the Whiskey in Hollywood and then having to
wake up for zero period for marching band

WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO COME
BACK HOME AND HEADLINE AT
THE POND FOR THE FIRST TIME?
Gwen: I can remember driving down the
57 Freeway with Tony and watching the Pond
being built. We would always joke and say
“we’ll play there one day.” Never in a million
years did we think we actually would.When it
came true, it was beyond a magical moment
and put in perspective how incredible our
lives had become.

THAT HAS HAPPENED. AFTER ALL
THE INDUSTRY ACCOLADES AND

PAST DECADE, HOW BIG OF A

Tony: That was pretty much the ultimate
way for us to celebrate our Anaheim roots.
As important as it was for us, I think it was
an even bigger deal for our parents. There
are certain types of recognition that hold
the same weight for our parent’s generation
as they do for ours, for example, getting a
Grammy Award. Getting the Key to the City
of Anaheim was one of those moments where
we could all celebrate together.

eat is Mexi-casa on Lincoln Ave.I still get over
there to eat about two times a year.

Fifty years ago, Walt Disney surveyed
Anaheim’s orange groves and charming
streets and decided that it would make
the perfect destination for his theme
park, Disneyland. To celebrate the 50th
Anniversary of the theme park that
started it all, and to honor a destination enjoyed by nearly two billion people, the Disney theme parks around the
world will join together for the first time
ever in an 18-month global celebration.
“The Happiest Celebration on Earth”
pays tribute to Walt Disney’s dream of
Disneyland. Anaheim’s own Disneyland
Resort has already kicked off this exciting
event with the premier of The Twilight
Zone Tower of Terror and the Snow
“The Happiest Celebration on Earth”
White musical. Other new attractions
include “Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters,”
the re-opening of “Space Mountain,”
two new parades and the transformation
of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The Disney Cruise Line will also launch
its first-ever West Coast itinerary with
celebratory cruise vacations starting out

WinDor Inc. co-owners
Wolfgang Wirthgen and
Gary Templin are honored
by the Small Business
Administration
OLFGANG WIRTHGEN AND
GARY TEMPLIN ARE LIVING BLUEPRINTS FOR THE CLASSIC AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY.
As founders of WinDor Inc., they
have grown from humble beginnings to
become the largest manufacturer and
retailer of replacement vinyl windows
and doors in Southern California.
Their ongoing hard work and resulting successes were recently recognized
by the Santa Ana District Office of the
U.S. Small Business Administration who
named them Small Business Persons of
the Year.
Brothers-in-law by marriage, Wirthgen and Templin started the company
in 1991. The two started out selling and
installing aluminum windows, but
decided to launch WinDor to promote a
fairly new concept for vinyl window products that was sweeping its way from
Europe and across the United States.
Since that time, the company has
grown from two employees to 190
employees, averaging an annual sales
growth of 42-percent.
With help from the SBA, WinDor was
able to move from a 32,000 square-foot
building into a new and larger 57,000
square-foot facility at 2220 E. Orangewood Avenue. Today, this building still
Anaheim

Summer 2004
(Left to Right) Wolfgang Wirthgen, Co-Owner; Anita Wirthgen, CFO; Gary Templin, Co-Owner
houses WinDor’s corporate offices, and
continued growth has caused them to
expand and fill an adjacent space.
Two key elements to WinDor’s success
are its innovative product line and its
excellent customer service. WinDor was
one of the first in the industry to include
energy saving glass on all their products.
Other innovations brought greater savings, durability and stronger insulated
glass seals for the consumer.
By producing longer lasting products
and continually refining their craft, WinDor has satisfied a loyal customer base
that has created a huge referral business,
substantially helping to grow the company. In fact, 68 percent of WinDor’s new
business is from referrals.
“Every home owner is our celebrity,”
is the company mantra and a philosophy
that has led to a gold standard reputation.
That gold standard has also flourished
by creating a loyal and knowledgeable
work force.
Everyone who works at WinDor is
committed to be knowledgeable about
the products and the industry. Ongoing
training ensures that employees know
the WinDor product line thoroughly.
Employee turnover is low because
WinDor actively promotes family val-
16
ues in the work environment. Everyone
who works at WinDor knows that they
are a valued and respected member of
a larger family, whether they are related by blood or, more aptly, related
through sweat and hard work. It is no
surprise that 80 percent of the warehouse staff is related and most employees have been with the company for
years. The company also actively promotes from within.
Wolfgang, his wife, Anita, and his
four children are involved in the business. Gary, his wife, Jan, and his daughter
also work for the company. Both families
see the growth and success of WinDor
as a legacy in the making.
As further proof of their company’s values, during Christmas, WinDor
hosts all employees and their families
at Disneyland. Last year, 748 staff and
family attended the company’s gathering at the Magic Kingdom.
Wirthgen and Templin are also very
active in community causes. They regularly donate time and money to various Anaheim charities, including the
Anaheim Police Association, City of
Anaheim Workforce Training Program,
Regional Occupation Program, and
several local high schools. ❚

SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF 807 OF
THE MOST VALUABLE ACRES IN
ORANGE COUNTY TODAY.
The area, known as the Platinum Triangle, has taken on added significance
as a development opportunity due to
its excellent freeway access, infrastructure availability and as demand for business space and residential uses continues
to skyrocket.
Creating opportunities in the Platinum
Triangle has grown out of Anaheim’s efforts to update its General Plan. A new
Mixed-Use designation is proposed
as part of the General Plan Update. It
would allow up to 9,175 dwelling units,
five million square feet of office space
and slightly over two million square feet
of commercial uses for the
entire Platinum Triangle. The end result
is to create a vibrant 24-hour, high-density, mixed-use, urban environment
unique to Orange County.
Demand for transforming the Platinum Triangle is so great that development proposals have already been put
on the table for the City’s consideration. One calls for 210 apartments and
250 for-sale units on 13.5 acres in the
1500 block of Katella Avenue. Another
is proposed to include 386 apartments,
an 8,122 square-foot restaurant, 3,520
square feet of retail space and an 850space parking garage on six acres in the
1700 block of State College Boulevard
and the 1800 block of Katella Avenue.
A new Platinum Triangle Mixed-Use
Overlay Zone, a Landscape and Identity
Program and a standard predetermined
development agreement are scheduled
for Planning Commission and City
Council Review in early Summer 2004.

Triangle or the General Plan Update,
