Orange, CA 92667 requests review of final landscape plans for
Conditional Use Permit No. 3794 (to pennft an automobile sales facgity).
Property is located at 4530 E. La Palma Avenue.
Continued ftom the November i3, 1995 Planning Commission meeting.
Jonathan Borrego, Senior Planner. He stated there is a concern relative to the placement of the two palm
trees and he asked the applicant if he could address that issue?
Commissioner Henninger pointed out the staff report's recommendaton is that the Planning Commission
approve the item as ft is, he then asked ff the staff report is being changed?
Jonathan Borrego darfffed that the recommendation in the staff report says "to approve the final landscape
plans subject to the relocation of two palm trees in ftont of the display area' and that would be consistent
wfth the direction of the Planning Commission when the item was before them at the public hoaxing. He
then stated since that was the recommendation by the Planning Commission, ff the Commission feels that
the existing placement of the palm trees is satisfactory then staff wUl concur with that.
~ Commissioner Henningor asked the applicant if he can move two palm trees (n the display automobile area?
Bob Mickelson, 121 W. Rose Avenue, Orange. He indicated he understood that they were to add two palm
trees, but misunderstood that the palm trees vrere to go in ftont of the car display area. He stated the car
display area Is very narrow, so instead of putting two palm trees there, they (nstailed three palm trees
against the buUding and one palm tree in the wklened landscape area.
Commissioner Boydstun stated that the Commission may have to do some rethinking on these type of
properties and she indicated more landscaping was done than what the Commission asked relative to the
setback, but she feels the way ft is now is acceptable.

Commission asked the applicant to take a look at the parking utilization during the peak period
(11:00 a.m. on Sunday). He stated they have submitted a revised traffic study relatNe to the parking
issue.
He explained the proposed mini-chapel Is an addition to the sanctuary and that ft is proposed
primarily as a secondary sanctuary to handle smaller groups of people, that the large sanctuary may
be inappropriate for.
He stated the applicant wishes to maintain the opportunty to use both facilfties simultaneously. He
explained the reasons being that after the 10:00 a.m. service, at 11:00 a.m. the main sanctuary often
breaks up into indNidual groups for Sunday Scholl and also two different language groups
(Japanese & English) and he stated the Japanese group would then have the opportunity to meet In
the mini-chapel rather than meeting in a dassroom. He stated those are the main simultaneous
uses and they do not anticipate more traffic being generated for both facilfties and used simultaneously.

explained the proposed second floor addition and he stated that their intent is to beautify the abbey
and carry on the historic tradition of the structure. They Intend to use materials and styling that will
enhance the nature of the building, as well as provkJe additional income to support the maintenance
of the facility.
CHAIRWOMAN MAYER CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
STAFF'S COMMENTS:
Commissioner Boydstun asked relative to the phasing of the project, ff one year to complete would
be a problem?
Mr. Matthews. He explained they are now in the process of doing part of the refurbishing, since
they have been permitted to do so and that currently they are refurbishing the abbey, fbcing repairs,
redoing the electrical, and also redoing the roads throughout the entire cemetery. He pointed out
that the staff report states the first phase is to refurbish the existing building, but in his opinion, that
it is not the first phase because he feels ft is their responsibility to refurbish for the current property
owners.
He then explained that the building is arranged in a three phase program, 1) that one end of the
building, 7,000 square feet., (visitation and crypt areas) is the first phase; 2) 13,000 square feat,

~~ He noted tt~t the nature of the financing avaAable in the market place allows them to give the
highest quality product to the community at a r~sonable price wh~h is how the phasing concept
was originated by. He Hxplained that the beginning of ~~ threep would ~ developed wfth
would start within 12-24 months and then the final part, p
96-120 months, roughly, it would be a 10-year project.

product?
Mr. Matthews stated that the abbey separates the two buildings into two different parts and that the
about half of the bu ding todbe seen atghe~same timereach segmeint csin be developed ands
appear to be a finished product.
Commissioner Henninger asked ff it cvould be a problem to come back before each phase and bring
architectural rendings before the Commission as a Report and Recommendation item.
Mr. Matthews indicated that staff has had a chants to revU~n- the front elevation which breaks down
the phasing.
Commissioner Henninger asked staff ff they feel they have enough plan?
Jonathan Borrego, Senior Planner. Stated they do have plans showing the front elevation which is
divided up into different phases and that he feels that would suffice, providing that the word(np be
added, reiterating the point that tt needs to tie in architecturally to the existing building.'
;~ Commissioner Henninger asked that the condition stating that they fellow the plans submitted isn't
sufficient?
Jonathan Borrego. Stated generally h would be, but In this case staff would like the wording added
to reiterate it. He stated, however, staff would support ff the Planning Commission desired the
applicant to bring each phase as a Report and Recommendation item because there isn't real
concise detail in the elevations presented relatNe * :he colors and materials.
Commissioner Bristd asked ff there were any proposed addftional signag9?
Jonathan Borrego. He stated ~~e doesn't believe any addftionai signs are a part of their application
packet.
Commissioner Boydstun asked the applicant when they are finished with the project do they
anticipate changing the signage?
Mr. Matthews stela ~ they don't have a problem submitting detailed archftecturals after each phase.
He also pointed out, the signage that they use for their cemeteries are~not f d~u~~ men
sigrage is simply to make sure that families know where the property
they are attending a service. He stated it would not be a good Ume to get lost and he feels he has
a responsil,ility in trying to keep their signage options open.
He stated currently they have not received a response from Caltrans relative to the discussion of the
walls being raised in front of the subject building, but ff so,'.neir current signage would be
eliminated.

parking spacers to be landscaped, only because it is part of the new project However, relative to
the heavy line shovm on the plan, on the north skis of that line is an existing parking area and ff any
of those parking spaces would be removed that that parking area would be affected because of the
circulation.
He also noted relative to the sign that staff recognizes there is a need for identity, but stated staff
doesn't feel the sign needs to be a fteestanding sign facing north and south, but if there was a
wsldsign~whichps thertreason for staffs recommmendatlon of the sign~be ng paral~ to lobe fteeway. a
Commissioner Boydstun agreed that ff the applicant is permitted to put a pole sign up, that ft wN~~a
be more appropriate for the sign to be in ftont of you rather than having to look av6~ y:,in~ shoulder.
Greg Hastings stated ff the sign needs to be higher to be seen from the f~a way, staff would be in
agreement
~~_.;
Commissioner Henninger stated the monument sign was designed for cases where buildings had a
imaginetabuAding with wallVS a oundrit, at he subJectusite and work wfthin that thag hesfeols an u
agreement could be reached.
Mr. Elder expressed that he would be in agreement with having two signs and explained the signs
would need to ba up about 25-30 feet.
Commissioner Henninger asked staff if that would be allowed. Greg Hastings explained two wall
signs would be allowed, but two freestanding signs would not be slowed.
Mr. Eider stated they don't need two signs, but they are just trying to go song with the specific plan.
Greg Hastings pointed out that he believes coming from the west, going east on the fteeway, there
is a large median and from his personal observation, you could barely see the top of the bowling
alley roof. He felt a large sign would need to be required for eastbound traffic on the 91 Freeway.
He indicated ft was staffs understanding the Purpose was to capture the traffic going westbound.
Commissioner Henninger asked the applicant if one sign facing east would be sufficient. Mr. Elder
responded "probably yes, as long as the height was adequate".
