Felt a commerical use would be more acceptable due to igh concentration of apartments in the area. PETITIONEF.'S COMMENTS: No access to Magnolia, more than adequate parking (2-1/2 epacas per unit). Only 4 or 5 of the condo units next door have one window facing subject property. Building located 30 to 35 feet away; 10-ft. unused bike path currently is a nuisance with a lot of debris and bike path is an easement owned by the City of Anaheim, and could be landscaped, Felt development of property would lessen loitering.
