subsequent to the leat meeting~ they hed revised pians relocatinq the parking
structu~e further a-~ay from th~ property Itne and explalned the plans, as ;~osted on
thn wall, reflect those changes. Ne stated the originei plan sha+ed the structure 67
feet from the property ltne a~d noted It is en~ther 20 feet eu the residenttal
•kructu~e~t. He expl~t~ed the rosid.~ts h~ve nat seen the revtsed olans and noted one
alternative pten cells for th~ structure to be 100 feet from the property line but
that by moving the structu~e thet distanca~ the str.e of the structure is reduced end
a groater p+~rktng varlanco wlll be requi~ed. Ile stateo the o~ther alternatlve plsn
shawa the structure 8a feRe from the property 11ne and noted both plans cAll for s
solid wsll in the south to block the nolse for the restd~ents. Ile pc~inted out the

a petttton was prevlously s~bm(ttcd which was signed by a maJo~lty of the restdents
In Sherwo~d Vtilage and that photoyr~phs were also furnlshed showing Lhe height of
the wall. 1~e stated they are not asking that th~ hoCel not be expanded~ but are
asking that it be expanded in a way that does noC sit o~ top of them. He stated a
solid wsll w(I1 not be an attractlve thing ~o see~ but it will help with the noise
directly from the south. but will ~ot help the n~ise aoming f~om the sides of the
structure. He stated ~oise does radtate snd does not travei in a stretght line and
wil) be heard from the open sides of the structure. He stated they feet the pArktng
structure should be moved beceuse the Marrlott has vast amuunts of space close~ to
Convention Way.
Mr. Newbu ry steted it is their envtromm~nt that is being tmpacted ano they should
have been given more censideration beceuve these tmpects wiil interfere with the
enJoyment of their hanes and also thefr p~aperty values will bc decreased.
Davfd Thanas stated he lives in Hunttngtan Beach and is spaaking for Thriftimart
whlch is located tn the vicintty of this praposal; that they hsve no obJection to the
hotel expansion plans end appreclate the fact that similar parktng varisnces have
been granted for othar motels and hotets in the ar~+ and he y+ould assume the perking
probiem would not affect the 7hrtftiraart; hawever, the additior- of the Conventlc~n
Center could ca~caivebty creste an overflow parking problem ft~r them. He stated they
have tied a~roblem tn the pest when the A~ahelm Convention Center had overP~c ~
parking~ particularly lest March when ther~e was a trucking co~ventlon and they had 51

etghteen-wheel trucks on thdir pa~king lot which virtuelly stopped thelr oper~tion.
He ~tated after the Convsntlon Cente~ was notifted of the probinm~ the drivers were
siorteJ and the trucks wero ~emoved; hawever. they did have ta post a guard for th rea
deys to prevant •dditional trucks from p~rking o~ thsir parking lot at a cost of S100
per day. N~ ststed they ~ealite this w~s a~ unusuel situetlon~ but wsre ca~cerned
th ~t the Mar~lott Conventlon Nall could concelvabiy ettr~ct e lot mare peapie to the
area ~nd (f the hotel perkinq lot w~s full~ those people would heva to park sanewhera
end he hoped that would not be on tha Th~tftfinert parking lot.
Cer) Ducsterhaeft~ 2076 June Place, Sherwoed Village~ sisted he likes the Marriott
Hatel bdceuse it looks ntce and adds to the beeuty of the aree, along wlth the other
hoteis in the ar~e~ end ssked why spoil tha aro~ by putting tn this multt-story
pe~kfny structure. He stated there wili be more psrktng prnblems wlth this expanston
and noted another expan=ton w~s app~aved to the east~ whtch cauld Gauae perking
problems when tt is evantually ca~atructed. Ile stated there ere areas an the east
stde of Ilarbor where parktng could be provtded and suggested the city provide a
psrkl~g ares end lease a portton to the Msrrlott liotel,
N~. Sct~wartze explained the Narriott has agre ed to InstAll e msst~r antenna to
service the resid~nces impacted by the receptlon problem and that they wlil also
malntain ihet meste r entenno. lic stated the hote) was not there when the orlginel
constructlon was going on~ so ths co~sLructlon N~s being handled by the const~uction
compeny; f~owever~ with thts n~w constructlon. obvtously thera will be hotei 9uests in
eddition to the proparty owners to the s~uth~ and the hotei mana~geme~nt will be
interested tn making sure their guests end tl~e neighbors are not disturbed. H~
stated these past two weeks would be a good exernple of the overflow situatton because
this is a busy time of the year and that tf~ere was ~mple perktng on the Marriott
parki~g lot a~d potnted out that all of these plans presanted have sufficient parkino
aveilabie. Ne stated tlie perking spaces sha+~ are for full siz~ Ame~lcen vehlcles~
such as Ca~lilacs~ and the hotel ts propostng to have compact speces to accommodste
the decreased stze of automobtles and notad th$ structure hss dis~onai full spaces
whlch ~ou1d be mada (nto ^,~0 degree sngle spaces whlch would previde a 10 to 15$
increase In tlie nurtber of avallablc spaces.
Mr. SchNartze stated reg~rding the air and noJse problems as rzferred to i~ the
environmental document. they have incraesed the dlstance to the parkin~ structure and
the soutfi w~ll wlll be solid. He noted~ howevcr, the final dete nnination has not
been msde on the arch(tecturr and that thry would Itke the opportunity to return to
the Conmission with snme archttectu~a) thernes so they wili have the oppt~rtunity to
make it as picesing as possible to the hotef guests and the residents to the south
because right nav It is a fairly large blank wall. Ne steted they hape one of these

Commissioner Tola~ ctarified th~t Mr. Newbury had reviewed tha revise~ plens and
steted tt would appear to him that Revisi~n Na. 2 a,swers some of the concerns of the
oppositt~n; hcwave~~ tha one concern which was not eddressed Is the losdtng dock. He
statod he did not think raising the fenca helyht on the property wfi) be of any
benefit and Revislon No. 2 hss a soltd wal) o~ the south and he felt that would et
least answ er pert of the noise c~ncerns.
M~. Newbury ~tated there Is a 4-sto ry hotel building and a one•story ball~oom area In
existence and those bulldings are 100 feet to t~~e north of the extsttng black wall
end th eir first request would be th~t nothtnc~ be closer than what is there already;
that the original plan was oniy G~ feet from the property 11ne and Revislon No. 2 ta
88 feet s~ay. which still leaves the dock 90 feet from the property Itnr. end the
existing dack is 100 feet from the wall and ts a source of noise a~lready. He stated
tha corridor to be added would be 90 faot from the wall; that the corridor an~i the
one-story~ 20-foot high structur~ and the loadfng dock would be thelr ftrst concern
and the parktng structure at 46 feet high is a visual impact and wtll be a noise
producing structur~ and Js not a hotel building which Is plessant to look at. ~le
referred to the C(ty Hall parking structure whtch is anly three levels and noted this
atructUre proposed at five levels would b~ closer than the Ctty Hall parkt~g
structure is to thls bullding. -1e stated tl~e- solid wall wlll help fran a sound
standpoint but will not help the sound cominy from the sides and will not help the
visuol fmpact end a slightly modifled blank wall wlll ~ot be very pleasant. Ne
stated people staying (n a hote) or motel c~n expect ta laok at e blank wall~ but
people c~wntng homes do not want this typr; ~f building on tnp of them.
Cortmissfonar Tolar asked about the block wall and Mr. Newbury referred to the
photographs presented at the pr~vious meeting and stated the hetght is approxlmately
2 to 2~1/2 feet dtffcrent from one stde to the Acher end it varles from 7-1/2 to 9
feet on the Sherwood V(llage stde and fmm 6-1/2 to 7'2" en the M~rriotts side. He
stated they are not obJecting to the fence hetght; that the potnt they are trying to
make is thet the elevation nn the grou~d on the Marrlott side ts higher. so any
constructYon starts that much ni~her. He stata' their problem o~ concern is the
pr~ximity of the parking structure t~ thsir residences and that they feel the
Ma rriott Hotel has enough property to relocate the parktng structure closer to
Convention Way.
Chairman Bushore asked if it is possible to put doors on the l~ading dack and Mr.
Schwartze replied it would be possible and clarified the secondary loading dock is to
service the exhfbit h~)) only.
Commissloner Tolmr stated it is ve ry apparent that the exhiblt losdtng dock could be
utilized ar•ound the clock wtthout eny both~r to the people staying i~ the hotel. but
it would b~ e bother tA the residents because exhibltors would bring their exhibits
in and set tt~em up in the evrning hours and he felt the oppasit~on's concerns are
Justiflebie. ile st~ted he felt the loading dock could be moved. Ne stated thts plan
aeems to be answe~ing most of the tasues prevlously discussed but the concerns
regarding the loading dock hours surfaced several times and bsked why thts co~cern

was not recllfied wtth the revleed plans. Ha st~tad he wnutd rather see a five-tevel
structure then a•maller six-levnl st~ucture and he felt e greater problem will be
created if paricing 1~ nc~t providod naw. Nc ~dded le felt Revislon No. 2 gives
grester protectlon bccause of th• solid wall and agre~d it haa to be designed so that
the residents will not be looking at e blank w~ll. li~ stated he dld ~ot thfnk
constructlon noise wi11 be s problem during this expansion bacause there wtli be
someone thero to raaolve the prublexns end he would make the recomme~detion that the
loeding dock nat be used during the e~rly mo~ning hou~s and thn hours limitnd to 7:00
a,m, to 8:00 p.m.
Mr. Schwartze statcd the ro are several w~ys to resolve this problem and thst the
Merriott woulu be ag roeable to 1(miting the opereting hc,ura e~d/or including ~evised
plans to enclose tha d~~ck to make tt s~undrroof. 11e steted they were concent~ating
more on the pa~king with the revised plans And did not addr~ss the loading dock
sttuation~ but thery would be willtng to study the situation.
Commisstcx~er Tola~ stated e conti~uance would cost everyone nwre time and money ~nd
askad if the petittoner stiputeted to moving the loeding dock~ If the Commisston
c~uld approve che submttted pla~s.
Jack lrhite~ Assistant Clty Attorney~ replied that if the dock is moved~ reviscd plans
wauld have to be submltted; however~ the Commisston could Act on these plens todey~
subje~t to the condition that the dock be moved and the oniy question before the
Commisston would t~e whether or not they wanc to tle dawn the location of th~ dock or
whether It could be stipuleted th~t the dock be rraved a certain dtstance. tia aeld
the approvt~l should be subject to tha condttion thst revised p1Ans with refe~ence to
the loading dock be approvcd by the Planning Commisslon.
Commissioner Barnes asked ebaut the landsceping and the solld well of the parking
structure and Mr. Sch~rartze repiled they have not had the opportunity to look at the
architectu~e nor the iandscaping treatment which Is the reason they would Iike ta
~eturn to the Commtssion wlth p~ecise plans.
Commissioner Barnas was concerned thst r~vised ptans reviewed under tfie Reports and
Recommendetlons portion af ihe agenda would not r~nui~e notificatio~ to the neighbors
and she thougt~t they would be interestcd ir revl~wing the plans and heving sane Input
(nto the approva) of th~ revised plans.
Commisstoner Tolar felt the oppositton feeis thac if the docks ere located further
away, the sound would be adequately attentuated and if the loading dock ts moved from
the south end of the structu~e a minimun of 150 feet. he dld nat think there waa much
else that could be ~ccomplished.
Wmmissioner Herbst stated he has worked with sound problents for some time and there
are ways of accomplishing thi~ withnut moving the dock~ and if it can be rearranged
with absorption walls placed along the edge of the loadtng dack, it would virtually
eliminete the noise~ even better thsn relaGating the ciock. Ne stated a sound

engln~ar wauld h~ve to parform ~ study to determina what Is rtqulred so the sound
could nat be h~ard at th• property lina.
Mr. Schwartze replled the petitloner would be wliling to agree to that stipulatio~.
Ch~trms~ Bushore ststed he thought tl~e loading dack la In the proper pisce end ttiat
the sound could be properly sttenuated.
Commissioner Tola~ polnted out the loading docks at the Disneyland Hotel ere located
tn the c~nter on the Walnut Strnet side and are not located on the south side. Ne
atated he thought with the proper sound ettenuation meaaures and movi~g the dock,
more could be eccompllshed than was originelly asked and asked why it is felt the
dock hes ta be on this slde.
M~. Schwa~tze stated the structu~e directly tnterfaces with tho exhibtt hall whfch ts
the primary reason the loading dock ts loceted where it is and he did not think tt
would be posstble to get the trucks through the structure if it was relocated.
Responding to Commissioner Tolar's questlon as to why the dack could not be movad
further east~ Mr. Schwartze repiled it could probabiy ba moveci fu~ther east falrty
easy. Commlss(oner Bou~s pointed out the I~tatton nxntiened by Commisstoner Tolar
would be the encra~ce to the Convention Hal1 from the perkfng structure. She stated
she realizes a lot of people wlll be ~~mi~g to the conventfons by airplane~ etc.. and
thet these natghbors should certa(nly be considered. but if th~ ~ound can be
mitig~ted~ then that location should be accept~le because they have eligned the
structures with the exlsting bullding.
Mr. Schwartzc pointed out the exi~ting and proposed facfl{ties on the plans.
Commtsstoner Herbst asked tf the petitloner Mad considercd havTng ~ny of the ps~king
structu~e levels underground and M~. Schwartie repiied he believed that posaibility
had been explored~ but the cost would be extr~mely prohibitive. Ne stated it wss not
thc hotel's desl~a to have a stx-ievel st~ucture and that they wouid probsbly prefer
a four-level structure because they feel tt~e parktng they have would accommodate the
needs.
Commissloner Bernes stated she is very co~cxrned during con~~entio~s becausa the
problems are already vrall known. She stated she is not concerned sbout the parkln5
f~om the hote) standpotnt. but she did not want to see it ~educed; that she felt the
parking structure at 1Q0 feet from the property ltne would be sufflclent and she also
thought the parktng st~ucture could be designed to be pleesi~g. Sh~ staLed, howaver,
she is also concrsrne~ about the loadi~g dock nolse end the times of detiveries
because ~he hes seen trucks sCtttng up co~ventions 24 hours a day.
M~. Schwartze stated Mr. Rothnsan has indicated Chat it is his responstbtlity to see
thst the canventions are set up wtthin the limited hou~s betause he !s the manager of

Coormtssionwr fry esked if thts s~condairy lo~ding doCk ts mandatory and Mr. Schwartxe
rapiled it (s probably mo~e a conve~lence tha~ e r+ecesalty but they felt It was part
of a good ~iesign to ~ut the loading dock f~irly c1~se to the exhibit hall.
Commissioner F~y at~ted he felt with the sound attenuation that can be accompllsed
today~ he would have no problem having the loe;ilnq dock ss close to the exhlbit hall
as possible. Ile di~sgroed with Commisstoner Eia~nos end statGd ho would rather live
8g feet from e 5-story parking structure then 1Q0 feet from a 6-story structure. and
noted with a 6-story structure, they would lose some perking spaces.
Chalrman Duahore esked if the petitiioner would stipulate to putting In the sound

operation are 7:Oi3 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ~ and +nlso st(puletc to lock the doors.
Mr. Schwartze replied he was concern~d thst the doors wuld not be locked becauae of
f i re regul ~ttons.
Chalrman Bushore asked if the problem has been resolved concerning loading and
unloading other than dayltght hours at the ortginel hote) d~ck ~nd Mr. Rothman

the currcnt plan ts to yradc and flt) the canyon to a depth of 20 feet and staff has
Indicated 2S~A00 cublc yards of earth would hav~e to be excavated whlch would

a dlfferent side and would have totnily preserved thls naturat canyo~ area wlth no
adverse impacts in terms of gr~dtng, ioss of wildlife ereas ar cutting of any trees.
He referred to a lette~ from the developer to the city wri~ten in Novesmber 1976,
verifying it was not their intent to cut any t~e+e end that no gradtng would be donQ~
other than the grading requlnd for the butlding pads. Fle explalned that plan was

did not involve destructlon of the canyon ar the cutting of t~ees. He noted his

repc~rt prepared or whethen c~ wants to consider an alternatr plan.
Commissioner Tolar asked why this alternete plan has not been presented to the

Mr. Immetl asked if the~e is a posstbilitY for the Canmission to direct them to
preparc focused information on certaln ar~eas of the application. Fie asked iF thn

developar tarr~ back in today Nith a project that fiad a chance of damage from g~adtng
of the slopes~ pipeline~ etc., he wou}d not support the project and rwted he
undcrstoad the the petitioner had fndicated there was a 50/SO chance af grading
prabinma wtth thts proJect. Mr. Immell rcpiled they had s~-id that there was no
chance and that they wouid nnt be taking a chance because ~f „-hat has been p~ovan to

Commissioner Barnes stated the petittoner is probably right, but the courts requlre
the Comnission to protect the health~ safety and welfarc of the citizens and 3he

Mr. Immeli stated there is no c~uaranCee that if thsy request a continuance in o~der
