FOLLOWING IS A DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION.
OPPOSITION: 3 people spoke
Joel Fick, Planning Director -This matter is for the environmental Impact report and area development

stadium and certainly the phenomenal success enjoyed ~~ Mhlgs area. Perhaps the finest consultant
Anaheim warranted an examinatlon of land use opport ovidin oversight,
team that we c:ouid assemble at that time was assembled with the Spectrum Group pr 9
MBA being tho environmental consultant, SWA and The Jerde Partnership being architects and the
Concord Group and Way~ff side did ermendous amotunt City staff work conntributing to the project

as welt.
The City Council subsequerrtiy approved atwo-phase work program that was started with the first phase
Induding the preparation rat the concept development plan, marketing study and environmental
documentation for the stadium property. The second phase then branches out Into the larger 807-acre
9fea.
Today you are considering the EIR and the Area Development Plan for the Stadium property. The Plan
>s the implementation tod for Sportstown and sets forth the permitted land uses for the project. The
Draft EIR has also been comprehensively prepared and for virtually every comment that was submitted
to the City, a ~prehensive response was prepared to those comments. Staff has a brief presentation

for you tod~.y. This is a large project so we have a number of consultants here who are ava6a a to
answer any questbns that you may have, but we have two presenters today. The fir,~t is Joan Kelly, with
Mkhael 6randman Associates (MBA) and the second is Dan Young with the Spectrum Group to give
you an overview on the project itself.
Joan Kelly, Mictwel Brandman Associates -Good Afternoon, Chairman and Members of the Plann'.ng
Commission, { am bare to just gNe you a real brief overview of the CEQA procress. We were hired by
the City to complete an EIR for the Sportstown project. The Notke of Preparation was released to the
publk on AprA 7,1995, for a 30•day publk review period. On AprN 26, 1995, there was a scoping
meeting here in the f.;ouncN Chambers, as suggested by CEOA, although not required, and the NOP
period dosed on May 8, 1995, and those comments that were recx~ived were addressed in the EIR wRh
dher issues that had already been identified. I am sure you know the draft EIR was released in January
on the 17th and that public review period dosed on March 1st. You have been provided the Response
to Comments on the letters that were received on the draft document whkh have addressed the
comments of all of tt~e letiers and individual points therein and have also addressed the Issue related to
the project modfficatksn. There is an assessment (n the beginning of the Response to Commenrts which
gives an overview of the impact of the modified project as associated with that whkh was originally
addressed In the EIR.
As was in the original document, the modified project also leaves three unavoldabie slgnfiicant impacts.
Two are directly project related and one is an indirect impact and those are air quality and the impact is
ftom the short temp construction impact, release of PM10 or partkulants, and the long-term air quality
impacts are from carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, and readNe organk carbons. To put this in proper
perspective, this is a significant impact because the area is currently over the thresholds se+ by the Air
Duality Management District and any additkxial Increase wpl keep ft above the Yhresholds. Therefore, it
- is a signffikant impact.
Sdkf waste is also found to be a significant impact because this is a major project and landfill capacity
is a finite resource and this wUl continue to deplete that resource.
The third impact is to schools whkh is an indirect impact due to the empF~yees that wpl relocate to the
area as a result of employment at this project. And although the compliance with State legislation is to
require a construction fee to be paid and that wpl be imposed on this project, and the State has found
that is midgat~xr of the impact, this was determined to be a significant Impact because the fees _ollected
will not fully cover the cysts to the sehod district to lnplement facAities or accommodate the new
students.
Joel Flck -The next speaker is Dan Young, principal of the Spectrum Group.
Dan Young -Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commission. It's a great pleasure to
be before you today. There has been a tremendous amount of work and creatNity that has gone Into
what you are going to see and, hopefully, approve today. I want to take you through the process that
we went through on the design and conceptualizing ftont. As you look at the plans themselves and the
EIR that is before you.
With Greg's assistance, ICI need two boards, one for the ,lanuary 3rd Sportstown and one woukd be the
retrofit
About a year and a half ago, as Joel mentioned, we had the great honor of being hired by this Cfry to
lead a team of world dass designers and experts >n real estate to take a look at the property owned by

the City that has come to be known as Spor<stown and today contains the Stadium. Our goal was to
really try to accomplish three things on your behalf. Flrst, to provide a new vision for this property and
the surrounding area, both from an economk: development Print of view, as well as fitting wRh your
tourism base.
Secondly, to Investigate those market uses that could be brought to the Property and, In fact, would be
synergistic with professbnal sports venues, as well as the nearby conventbn center and Disney
properties.
Thirdly, to create land value for the Property that the City oMVrs on the 158± acres and create the bash
entitlement Package so that when you went out and sought irnestment on this property, You would have
not only a vision, You would not only have synergistlc uses t ~take~ o the marktetplace That really was
also you would have the basic entitlements of the property
our assignment. That's what we attempted to do.
So starting a little over a year ago, we had a great deal of fun wfth this project because K has the
opportunity to take a look at the base that you have here in this area. We INe In this place. I happen
to INe very dose b Barrie Ana and we tend to take for granted how terrific this market is. There are
over 51 /2-mplbn people who INe in this area who would come to this place if we made it attractive
enough. That constitutes one of the best demographb markets In the country.
Also, within this area we not only have lots cf people Wing and working here, but you have within two
miles of this site, one ~~ the best and most frequently used converrtion centarsvenuesW You alalso have an
hemisphere. You also nave a stadium whbh is used for professkxral sporting
area that is home to professkx~al hockey and other types of entertainment that seems to be growing by
the week with new opportunftles and you are also within two urges of one of the greatest resorts on the
globe, Disne~dand. So what you have here Is a tremendous market opportunity.
We locked at those terrific demographics, those wonderful amenftles you already have in place and
asked ourselves what kind of compatible uses could we find, compatible with sports venues and the
vision for this City. Our market study took us to several different types of uses. First of all, retaA with an
emphasis on entertainment retail and on sports related retaq. The world of retail as we ail know has
changed dramatically, just over the last decade. Instead of going to the local supem~arket or the local
store, whbh in our Iffetfrne weYe seen started out as the oNy place to go to buy goods and services,
we now have places that mix not only shopping, but shopping and entertainment aril we call that today,
entertainment retail. In fact, down in the City of Irvine, in the Irvine Spectrum, there's now the Irvine
ErrtertalnmeM Cer?tor, ;;~st is nothing but entertainment retaH, some 250,000 square feet and they~areeare
track to outdraw Knott's Berry Farm in attendance, this magnificent entertainment retaY spot.
the kinds of uses that are attracting to the marketplace today.
The questk~n for use b our market research was, wUt those kinds of uses work in this part of the County.
In this part of the County, our determination was that entertainment ratan is looking for a home, as ft Is
anchored more toward the south in Irvine, tl wnl look for a central North Orange County ar-chor, whether
it is this site or some other property that is srxx~ssful in attracting those uses, restaurants, specialty
retail and entertainment types of uses, movie theaters, and the Ilke. Our opinbn was and ou~ need to
recommendation was that you ~tt>et Y~ haveland y~can creates tr temendousasense of place, that
these wonderful sports properties
on January 3rd we announced is a Glace called 'Sportstown.`

all of these varkws
What we saw in the newspaper announced for Sportstown was a vision of puffing mately 750,000
uses together, depleted on the odor graph to the left on the wall. That contained approxi
square feet of retaN, entertainment styled retaN space, a maximum of a mNlbn square feet of office, a
maximum of 500 hotel rooms and a 150,000-square foot exhibition enter.
Now the exhibition center you are very famUlar with is your own cornention center, and lts tremendous
success as a facNity, its long term success is predleated on attracting more conventkx~s, defined as
those shows that create stays in your hotels, not necessarNy local shows. Today You have a number of
local shows, the golf show I go to every year, the RV show I go to every year, and I cxxne from the
local market. I dont stay in the hotels because l am 15 minutes away ou become so busy t T you need
publle shows are marvelous as bac ~I f«o a~entbn ~So as standalone property, 100,000 to 150,000
that convention space even expand
square feet, You have the opportunity to fNl almost year-round, ran exhi~ Y~ local tourism base here
but Iocal shows. A marvelous ecorwmk: development oPP~ ltY
within the City and we have included that opportunity here on the site plan. So those are generally tha
uses that we described in a Ifst and through the magic of Jerde and SWA's design capabNitles displayed
on the grapple that you see to the left surrounding the stadium and also a football stadium that has not
been bugt yet We left b~asBeballA' wher ~ ~~ took place Just in the course of this pro ~,to leave it
there and pefiaps play
To the left Is the proposed entitlements for a new football stadium. So in addition to the retaN, the office,
the hotel rooms and the exhibition center, fs a footbaN stadium. AN of those uses were put together into
a quality land plan and announced on January 3rd. One of our hopes was that lt would attract
irnestmerrt first from anchor tenants such as spacing venues, such as teams. In fact, what haPP~
was Disney came to the table, acquired the Angels, and let the course of doing that, entered k~to an
~- agreement with this City which has been approved by the City CouncN and is leading to the re-creaYwn,
the re-invention of the Bing a'A'~lu~i n ~ i~ ~~~ ~ ~® die ire, Jul rnernext couple
one of the most specta
of years. So the first step along that way has already taken place.
Now I want to focus your attention on the graphic to the right Many questons came up as to how lt
was that under the Disney agreement which spells out that there must be 12,500 parking spars, what
impact did that have on the entertainment retaN, hotel, office, the variau uses in the original plan. What
lt resulted in was a more specific area for those uses to be in, which ~9~ ~ b~ from«a mNlbn ~
that map to the right and secondly, a reduction in only one cate9~Y
square feet to about 250,000 square feet In other words' a prailk~l ma~dmum buildout, maximum
development of the vision announced on January 3rd fitting in t~td andYexhibftion space as was i~
office but the opportunity to move forward was as much retaN, for changed, the amount of office
originally Proposed on January 3rd. So the space that is proposed and are still
space for prailk~l buildan dropped to 250,000 square feet and all the other p~ ~~ ~ would
avaNable. What you have before you today is an ernrironmental impact report
allow you to entitle those uses on that site when taken into the context of the Disney contrail, and wNi
allow you to move forward to the marketplace with an entitled situ implementing the full vision as we
came up wlth lt after a year and a half.
Mr. Chaimtian, I am more than happy to answer any questions as Your hearing develops and thank you
for your attention.
Joel Fick - No further comments, Mr. Chaimran, but we are happy to answer any questions You might

~- to the pubik: for any comments.. Is there
Chaknan Messe - WeA, perhaps now I'd throw ?this open
anybody here that wishes to address us on the EIR or the Area Development Plan.
Dominic fCractd, Busch t-Gm, 2532 Dupont Drive Irvine. CA 92715. I have prepared comments for the
Commissioners. In general we represent a diem by the name of Everest Electronic Equip~rn~e reel areas
is kx;ated across the street from the Arrahelm Stadium and we are corx~med in general
with the Draft EIR, one being tratflc, and I understand that the report concludes that there are no
unavokiade adverse knpacts arnicipated by the traiflc.
The ma{n issues are the traffic in the area. We have aU gone to the Anaheim Stadium for a game and
we are concerned that that traffk: impact will be there, even though the report shows that it will not be
there.
In addftion to the tntiflc, we are also concerned that there fs not going to be any change in the zoning,
existing permits, licensing requiremens or any new govemmentai restrictions imposed on the
businesses in the surrounding area.
In addition we have a major concern about the air quality, in panicular to the numerous amounts of
PM10s that are going to be brought up into the air during the construction process~~. And there are
going to affect the local residents and employees as well as our manufacturing pr
more details in the written presen*~ation.
Chairman Masse -Could you be a Ifttie more particular with us as to where exactly Everest Electronk;
Equipment is located on what street.

Chairman Masse - O.K Before you leave the m~rophone, h may be a good time for any of the
Commissioners to ask any questions.
Commissioner Robert Henninger -What sort of manL~cturing is it that the firm you represent does?
Mr. Kracht -Metal products and plastk: products.
Commissioner Henninger - I see, and is that sensitNe to dust?
Mr. Kracht -Yes they are. Our customers demand a very high quality flnish and the increase in dust
particles wal affect that process.
Commissioner Henninger -You know there is dust in the a(r all the time. What sort of dust finering
systems do they have in place rww.
Mr. Kracht - WeU, we meet aA the requirements to mitigate the dust that we c~ntributa, as well as any
internal dust. We are not sure with the overload on those systems with the proposed constructfon•

Mike Perez - I am with the Anaheim Oily School
providing us with the abtlity to respond to the Draft EIR. We do want to add a little more information in
case you are unaware. The se~te does require a commercial fee be pakl for this prMelk~•Roos Districts,
does mow you to provide ottrt-r mitigation measures, l.e., crossing guard distrkxs,
other things which can help with this full vision of a premiere Sports Center. a premiere City and a
premiere Schaoi District. We look forward to continuing the dialog with the Clry and a good resolution.
Thank you.
Chairman Masse -Thank you, Mr. Perez Any questions. Anybody else from the publk:. Now's your
chance. Afi r(ght staff, any other further input.
Joel Fick - Mr. Chairman, lust some brief comments. The gentleman representing Everest Electronk;s
raised several issues. The first related to trafik: and as he pointed out, the Draft E!R does contain
rrtative ftom Austin
detailed studies that were undertaken by .Austin Foust and Assxiates and a repress
Foust is here today to answer jury questions You might have. But the report did conclude upon that
detailed analysis that there are no adverse ernr(ronmental Impacts created by this project.
Second, the issue of air quality ~-+as raised and as discussed in the repott, again that issue was
comprehensNely addressed. Tf~ere are short term impacts related to construction that wUl be abated
upon completion of that conswotion and long term impacts frankly relate primarily to the fact that this
the report andiJoan {(ally from k ~A~can answe any further~questionsthat you~may have about that in
And finally the question was raised about whether this project would affect any zone charn~ge lonahe~
property and I want to tell you thit this Project doesn't affect the zoning on those props Y Y•
Chairman Masse -Thank you. Any questions ftom the Commission at this point.
Commissbner Henninger -Well, let's see, I'd like to hear a little more about the comments that are
raised in this letter regarding traffic and circulation. You know the paragraph on traffk: makes the point
that the purpose of this zoning actim is to intensify the use of the site. The author of the letter says that
the streets wil{ be more heavily use<f during much of the year if we are success{ul in intensf{ying the
use. I think that is probably a fair s~'atement that there will be more traffic and the EIR says there Is
going to be more traffic. The question is, is there going to be a significant Impact to that traffic or are
the streets capable of handling it?
Chairman Meese -Either Joan or our City Traffic gentleman, John.
John Lower - Treffk: and Transportation Manager for the City of Anaheim -The EIR evaluated the added
traffic, the traffic added by this project to the existing peak hour of street traffic. That ~he~commute
peak hour and on that basis, determined that there is more than adequate capacity
acxeptable service levels.
Commissioner Henninger -But there ~Nill be more traffic.
John Lower -That's correct.
Chairman Masse -There will be rtrore trafl{c than there IS currently.
John Lower -During the commute peak hour, yes.

Chairman Meese -The original plan for this PIS enticement before this. Would that have been more
the large amount of office bugdings that had golf
or less traffic than we are planning now.
John Lower -Far more traffic.
Chairman Meese - So ft's less traffic under this plan than there would have been ff we had developed
according to the original.
Joel Fick - Mr. Chai;::~: you raise a good poirrt. It Is pointed out in our staff report there were more
than 2.1 mgllon square feet of office development that was previously approved on this efts and not only
entitled but subject to the Development Agreement between the City and the previous project applicant
Chairman Meese -And the streets were bugt to accept that type of impact.
John Lower -And as an example I would point to the crftk~l intersedlon that has been constructed at
State College and Orangewood and another ~~ knterCF~ian eat GeneteA~ ~Waynd Katella and wfth
the I-5 Improvements, a new high occupancy 9
Chairman Messe - O.K Thank you. Joan, do you have any other input about the question of the air
qualfty?
Commissioner Henninger - Waft, let's stay on traffic a second. So you addressed peak hour. The
letter has a concern about the coming and going of shipping, woks and that sort of thing, during the
rest of the day and what did the EIR find out about the traffic circulation in this area, let's say during the
mkldle of the business day?
John Lower - There was no such analysis completed for those time frames. We looked at the peak
commute traffic hour and then there is an average daily traffic analysts which compares the forecast
traftk: vdumes to what is referred to as a service vdume at an acceptable level of service. Is the
threshold exceeded and the answer Is 'no'. Acceptable service levels for average daNy c~ndftions
exist.

John Lower - On an average oapy basis, yes. But not at a specific hour during the middle of the day.
Commissioner Henninger -Presumably, you believe -1 don't want to put words in your mouth - do
you believe that traff~ wAl meet acceptable levels during the middle of the business day.
John Lower - Absdutely. Yes.
Joan Kelly -Regarding the construction air qualfty emisskxu which were brought up by the speaker,
there Is, as 1 addressed earlier, an existing problem wish PM 10s in the area and ft Is acknowledged that
this project would add to that level; however, there are a significant number of mftigatkm measures that
are outlined in the EIR that would prevent or signific;antiy reduce this impact However, there is noway
to measure how much that is going to be better. For Instance, wetting down the grading area, washing
down the trucks prbr to them leaving the site and such

than say there wasn't going to be an Impact, we erred on the side of being conservative and saying
that, 'Yes, this has the poterdial of being a signifk;ant Impact and on site there wpl be all the measures
implemented to mitigate that to the extent posside.
CArnmissbner Henninger -The PM10, there is a prodem in this area with the PM10. I mean in
Southern Calffomia.
Joan Kelly -Yes.
Commissioner Henninger -The amount of additional PM10 that this project would cause in the
immediate area, could You quantffy ~~
Joel Flck - I would Just add to the conversation while Ms. Kelly is looking up the answer to that
question is that we did send notice to the Air ~ua9ry Management District and suggestions they had in
terms of mitigation measures have all been incorporated Into this dxumentation and mftigatlon
measures for the project as well.
Commissioner Henninger - Yes, I understood that.
Joan Kelly -It's on Page 3-131n the Response to Comments document in i ade 5.3~. T~i~ot~ 'ROtai

emissions are 799 pounds Per ~Y on sfte. Again, th>,S is without mitigation and with mftlgatlon, the
majority of that would be left on sfte.
Commissioner Henninger - So let's say that we have 400 Pounds a day, that's a Iftde more than the
majority of K, how much PM10 Is there in the vicintry of the Stadium, like on a normal day?
Joan Kelly - ~Jn page 3-10, the latest Air Quality Management report that was availade Is 1994. 1995

Joan Kelly - Cudc meter
Commissioner Henninger - And, of course, the Anaheim Stadium area is probady mUllons of cubic

Jocil Fick -Right now that is really in the preliminary stages of analysis. There certainly has been an
ider>iffled need of additional space out at the f,',onvention Center and precisely what form that wAl take in
terms of the expansion hasn't been 100% fkialized, but adding additbnal exhibition space here certainly
does afford an opportunity to provide more long term shows and the large exhibition shows at the
center. Again transferring some of the local shows to this site so that K affords a vehicle potentially that

recommended one ~ ninon to youbt ~- a"oni the PlanningTCotnmission thathat veryreview.
Chairman Messe - O.K Any other questions ftom the Commission.
Commisaioner Perasa - I have one on schoos. Jcen Kelly said that we were mitigating the impact
through construction fees. but ft would not fu11 ammo a (costs. And I understand because we are
building houses that we cannot legally Impose y
Chairman Messe _ Let's ask our City Attorney that question.
Selma Mann, Deputy City Attorney -The question I believe, Is whether school facNfties fees In addition
to those that are statutorily required could be Imposed upon this project. The schools faciities fees on
new development are set by the Calffomia Legislature. I think that there is recognlzatton in the EIR and
probably by the Commission that the fees may be inadequate f.^ fully offset the facilities costs that may
result indirectly ftom n6 w ddvelopmertt. However, that (s a determination by the legislature that higher
fees or ot;rer mitigation is not feasible in light of competing social and economic interests such as job
creation and economic productivity. The action that is actually before you in conjunction wfth this
~vironmental impact report is an Area Development Plan. The Area Development Plan Is not a
legislative ad, it is an adjudicative ad. In some instances the courts have permitted public entities to
Impose mitigation in addition to the stsitutorify required fees where there are legislative approvals that are
required in conjunction with a project such as zone changes, specffk: plans, where you are setting up
rules for an entire area rather than making an adjudicative decision which is a decision tha.~ you make
with regard to a specific piece of property. In this instance, the zoning is in place for this development.
What the City is doing is actually looking at the potential impacts within what is actually permitted zoning
-4 " and imposing a plan for infrastructure needs, etc. It is an Area Development Plan and it is processed in
accordance with our Code like a coning change, out only processed lii:e a zoning change to give us a
framework for how it would be handled procedurally, except that it is nat. done by ordinance as a zone
change would be.
Chairman Messe - While we have you at the microphone, Ms. Mann, ~,~e were Just delivered by hand
two letters ftom Best, Best and Krieger, a firm representing both Anaheim Union Hfgh School District and
the Anaheim City Scholl District and the crux of both of those letters, which are almost identical,
indkx~tes that required notice may not have been provided to the District relative to this very hearing. i
wonder ff you could respond. Did you receNe a copy of this?
Selma Mann - Yes, I do have a copy of both of those letters, actually the letter makes two points. One
is wfth regard to the District's feelings with regard to the Responses, wfth regard to mtigation measures,
I believe that those have been addressed in the Response to Comments docume o CTo~m second ant
as you mentioned has to do wfth the required period for providing the Reofsponf a t~ ft is that the
agency. I wonder ff Mr. Perez would address the issue as to what types
District will be providing. The District has actually had nine days at th>` point rather than the ten daye
required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act because of the weekend that came in the
middle and that was the ~ ~ available time to deliver the document and h may be that finding out what
Information is going to be provided may be useful to know to the Commission.
Dean Derleth, Attorney, Best, Best & Krieger, our point merely is not objection to the project at this
point, we just merely believe that the scope of the Responses to Comments warrant more sufficient time
for us to respond adequately to those Responses so that the Commission can make more reasoned

Mr. Derleth -Sure. The point fs not necessarily the day' Although I think there is a technk;al vitiation
of the Publ~ Resources Code, ft's more the fact that Responses to Comments whk;h apparently took
your staff upwards of 3 months to pr tpare~l bel wot.~td pp ate a lafttle bfttmore tir~ne to IProvkle you

Mr. Derleth -Whatever you woukJ Iike to provide us with would be sufficient for our purposes. I would
imagine ff your next meeting Is on June 10th, that would be more than sufficient amount of time to
provide you with the response we would Iike to prepare.
Chairman Masse -Any questions of Mr. Derleth.
Commissioner Boydstun - I have a problem wfth that much time in the faW i~tin tum means ft is
practically cutting in half what was at one time approved for that properhl
bringing half as much traffic, people, - ft is an industrial area and there are no homes irnoived

Mr. Derleth - No, ft wasn't the htiiday because the notice apparently went out on the 20th and you are

goes to. The fact of Memorial Day Just impacts iL My other point is because of the project, the scope
of these responses deserve more than we have provided, but ff you look at the statutory problem, ft's

patrons are take-out customers and he explained that their peak time k on Fridays. Saturdays
and ~I~ndays and kxlk~ted that fam~les do come to to sit down and eat.
He stated that they contend that faUure to grant this applk~tion would deprive the property of
the privNedge enjoyed by the properties occupied by drNe-through restaurarns on Ball Road,
Anaheim Boulevard, Uncdn Avenue, State Cdiege Boulevard and other locations. He further
stated the staff report r~mplies that permission is needed to have adrive-through facAiry and he
asked since the other properties with drive-throughs are the same size as the subject property,
why are they being denied to have adrive-through?
He further explained his reasons why he feels a drNe-through should be permitted and also
irxJk;ated that they would Iike to compete with the big natbnal drive-through places such as
McDonalds, Carl's Jr., Pdlo Loco, Taco BeU, etc.
He stated that they want to go along with the landscape recommendation as they wpl be
Improving the appearance and the sesthetlc qualities of the subject intersection and would also
hope it would be a standard for the surrounding establishments to meet.
He stated that the primary argument by staff has been a possible traffic backup on Anaheim
Boulevard and he then explained the proposed drNe-through setup and also spoke relatNe to
the coneems made of possible vehk:ular bade-up. They feel there is adequate room for a
minimum of two vehicles from the drive-up window to the order board and that there is
adequate room for two or three vehicles before you get to the setback line.
He spoke relative to the pedestrian issue and indicated that ft wUl be taken care of with plenty of
blue paint and signs which wql indicate to the vehicles to be cautkws of pedestrians.
He stated he hopes for the Commission's approval in granting the conditional use perrnR which
would permit the installation of a drive-ttuough lane for the subject establishment.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
STAFF'S COMMENTS:
Commissioner Bodystun Informed Mr. Foster that there has been many establishments whk:h
they have not allowed to put adrive-through lane in bss:suse of the creation of cars backing up
and she indk:ated ff more than three cars where Iined up at the subject facUity K would create a
back-up on Anaheim Boulevard.
She asked if a walk-up window without the order board woukf be acceptable?
Mr. Foster responded that that would not be too succassfui.
Commissioner Bristd noted that the distance of the order window and pick-up window of the
other locations previously mentkxred are not comparable to the subject proposed plan.
Therefore, the opportunity for a car to back up Is less for the other establishments and he
indk~ted, in his opinion, that Mr. Foster is comparing the restaurant to establishments that have
different cfrcunutances.

Alfred Yalda stated that the building is positioned where You can achieve so much room on it
and you can't really stretch h to achieve more. They have approximately 40 to 50 feet to the

Chairman Masse asked Mr. Riggle to describe the dianged landscape plan.
Mr. Riggle explained the changes to the landscape plan relative to the required landscape break
In whkh they provided a 5-foot wide landscape planter with a 6-Inch curb on both sides and he
spoke relathre to the reconfiguration of the trees around the ftorn of the facility.
He spoke relative to the pedestrian concerns and gave his reasons why they feel k Is best to
keep K as originally submitted.
He indicated h was mentioned in the slap report that the trash enclosure area was dose to State
Cdlego and explained it did essentially get closer and closer to State Cdlege Boulevard
because of the landscape txeak arxJ the additbnai parking that was required. They feel n Is in a
very good location and believes it will allow the sanitation truck to move through the property in
a safe manner, therefore, they would hope to leave the trash enclosure in its existing location.
Commissioner Brlstd asked ff there are phones existing on site?
Mr. Riggle responded that generally Arco Company does not have Phones on their property for
many dffferent reasons and also stated they try to discourage loitering.
Commissioner Bodystun relayed that she would Iike to add a condition stating 'that no pay
phones wUl be allowed on the premises'.
Chairman Masse asked ff staff has had a chance to see ff the new landscape plan Is within code
