Commissioner Messe suggested it could be prior to final building inspections or certificate of occupancy. THE PUBLIC HEARING V1iAS CLOSED. Jonathan Borrego, Senior Planner, explained the revised plans submitted were just a modification of the floor plan which was just shifting a corridor and there was not a problem. Concerning landscaping, he stated it was staff's understanding that there were several mature trees existing in the front setback which would meet the requirement, but staff would like to get the Code required number of trees.

Concerning Industrial training centers being permitted, Mr. Borrego stated the applicant has applied for "commercial office" and that "industrially related office uses" are permittedJ. If the applicant wishes to establish any particular use which goes beyond that, the Commission can entertain that this afternoon. The Industrial training facility would be permitted by right under this condition as it is now. In Conr_'::i~n No. 23 ft states, "any use permitted under Zoning Code Section 18.61.020", and that Code Section refers to nters.

Mr. Lee stated he did not have any spec'rfic uses in mind, but was trying to avoid the situation where they would have an acceptable use and have to go through another conditional use permit hearing each time simply because it wasn't on the list.

PC95-39 ------------------------------------- L FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES. IN FAVOR: 4 people spoke in favor to subject petftion. OPPOSITION: None PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Rob Zur Schmiede, Redevelopment Manager, explained this is a signing and wayfinding program they have been working on in cooperation with the City of Yorba Linda and with the retailers at SAVI Ranch. This property was originally intended for office development, but over the last several years, there has been an increase in retail development. In order to address the problems that have come about because of the change in use from office to retaii, they have attempted to come up wfth a program that will assist patrons entering the project, finding their destination and upon conclusion of shopping, to exit the project. The C'dy of Yorba Linda shared the cost of the consultants and their representatives are present today, plus Several representatives of the consultants. He referred fo the condition concerning long term maintenance of the signs and stated they have every intention of having that long term program in place. They would like to change the condition proposed requiring that an owner's association would be responsible for maintenance of the signs to read^ YHe owner's association, or other appropriate lecal mechanism, subject to the discretion of the City. explained they have not completely sorted that out and it could be an owner's association or some other 04-03-95 Page 11 ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION -SUMMARY 0~ ACTIONS April 3, 1995 ~. legal mechanism. He explained Yorba Unda has an assessment district in place which covArs the SAVI Ranch and that would provide the mechanism, but there is no owner's association in place that would cover both cities (Anaheim and Yorba Unda) so they would like a little flexibility. Cindy Weaver, Weaver-Nelson Design, 2323 Broadway, Studio 201, San Diego, 92102, explained their company specializes in wayfinding projects where there are a lot of people to move or a lot of tough problems to solve. There were three major problems in this project -1) no kfentfty; 2) retailers were shrunk Into the :.he and have no fteeway visibility and 3) only one way entrance from both directions. Their team ins. ! ~.'ad members from the cfties of Yorba Unda and Anaheim, and some retailers. The wayfinding sy,-tem may consist of directional signs, destination signs, cdor, memorable objects, icons, traffic patterns, lighting, landmarks, etc. Some patrons find their way by landmarks, others by signs, and their goal was to help as many people as possible. There is one exit off the freeway into the east side and ail exit from Yorba Unda into the west side. In developing a theme or image, they reviewed the history of the area, considering both cities, and researched orange graves and crate labels, windmills, etc. She presented exhibits showing the following: - an existing freeway sign for the Auto Plaza which is no longer in business and that sign site is available. - there are four districts (retail, hospitality, business and auto) and they ars proposing a ~`- functioning windmill on the west wish the SAVI icon and it is 30 feet tall. - Slgn Type 2 is to get patrons off the freeway and provide some advertising also for the retailers. No Type 2 signs are proposed on the Anaheim side of the site. 1 or 2 are proposed on the Yorba Unda side. - Sign Type 3 was developed +.o go in the existing planter areas anc! is a combination type sign with the logo and directional arrows. Those are at the first decision-making points. - Sign Type 4 are the first directional signs wfthin the site and noted that is where they started out the large retailers signs as wayfinding devices. Getting closer to the smaller uses, they will have more directional signs. - Sign Type 51s a f~~rther scaled down Type 4 sign. - Slgn Type 6 is a. banner that would be utilized to carry Icons and directions. 'They are proposed to be metal mash banners because of the wind in that area. - Sign Type 7 is to wam people Just getting off the freeway that the next tw ~ is the one to take. Rob Zur Schmlede explained they investigated the possibility of signs in the state right-of-way with Calirans in order to give patrons directions off the freeway. Ms. Weaver explained the corrugated pipe which is there now is temporary and all the metal will be primed and painted and the corrugated pipe will not be seen. They recommend that one prototype be done before they proceed wfth the program. She also stated the Type 7 sign could accommodate directions to the freeway and nit just indicate °north' ~r "south'. Commissioner Henninger asked ff they are comfortable with the 30-foot high windmill and whether the intent was to define the west end of the property so the eastbound traffic on the freeway could see it. 04-03-95 Page 12 ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION -SUMMARY OF ACTIONS AprN 3,1995 carpool lane improvemengs. Hedalsio asked how high the actual signage is ontheiwindmi Lfth the Ms. Weaver responded the letters are 24' high and the SAVI Ranch is T and ft is not readable ftom file freeway. She explained the other signs are 75 feet high. waslnoted the concern was probably because of theiScenicsCourrido Overlay Zone designation ~~ x Rob Zur Schmiede stated for many years the City has had the Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone designation which has a 30-foot high limit and that is a constraint. However, they continue to show the Type 1 sign at the west end of the project because they think that is an Important location. As an alternative, they have provided a second sign location (No. 3) for a windmill. The plan shows arectangularly-shaped sign which says SAVI Ranch wfth an arrow and another plan shows the windmill in that same location and they were proposing to place a windmill in one of the locations, either on the Yorba Linda side or the Anaheim side instead of the tall 75-foot high signs. Responding to Commissioner Messe, Ms. Weaver showed an exhibft with the windmill and explained the lettering is approximately 20 feet high. Commissioner Henninger pointed out that would not be over the 30-foot high Iimft in the SC Zone and also that the structure is a windmill. Commissioner Henninger suggested a restriction could be placed on the windmill that the actual sign portion not be any higher than 30 feet. ~~ommissioner Messe added the wording shou'ob em nethe fled and clarified that ft is only going to read bAVI Ranch ,indicating he could see a big p future wfth someone wanting to add something to that sign. Commissioner Mayer asked about the smaller sign and explained they look like pole signs and from ingle pole signsaand has been encouraging owners with exCing single pole sigs tto enclose y them somehow. Commissioner Henninger suggested they be made to look like miniature Slgn Type 3 and noted that sign appears to have two poles to hold ft. Ms. Weaver responded there is a certain amount of copy that has to go on the directional sign so they taller andtnarrower for theudirectionai signs because mho a fines ofcopy are allowed. go wfth something Shy also explained they brought in three dffferent design solutions and presented a lot of different drawings. ?hen ft was narrowed down to this scheme and that the windmill is setting the theme of this program and ft being more of a vertical element, sets the tone for the rest of the program. The framework is really the same framework of the windmill and that they did explore many different approaches. 04-03-95 Page 13 ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION -SUMMARY OF ACTIONS April 3, 1995 ~._ Commissioner Henninger asked ff the wayfinding Program has been approved by the City of Yorba Unda. Rob Zur Schmiede stated the Yorba Linda Planning Commission has seen three presentations and the Commission consdered this program with these exhibits last week, but dkl not take action. Anaheim Redevelopment staff has attended ail those meetings and has Indicated to them that h was being scheduled for consideration today by this Commission as a conditional use permit Each City is handling the approval of the program a little differently administratively. Commissioner Messe asked what the problems would be by increasing the size of the windmill under the Scenic Corridor Overlay zoning. Jonathan Borrego, Senior Planner, responded he thought the 30 foot height was used because that was the highest e~cample of a sign that has been allowed in that area and that was the Festival Shopping of the ciryntHe added he realizestth intent of theoprogram, but that structulre will ibe veryevlsible• ny ~rt Joel Fick, Planning Director, agreed and added when the sign went in originally along the fteeway, not in canyon a~tt hose signs. I He added he is not suggesting that would be the case wfth~he wfndmil~ the To provide a point of comparison, Mr. Fick stated for the regional shopping center at the Anaheim Plaza, the hefghi of that sign is SO feet. He stated the difference with the Anaheim Plaza sign is that it is one of two regional shopping centers in the city. L Commissioner Mayer asked the height of the Big 'A' sign at Anaheim Stadium and Mr. Flck answered he wasn't sure. Mr. Zur Schiemde stated there are tall Edison towers in that area which are about 200 feet high. Commissioner Henninger asked the actual height of the double pole signs, adding he thought they might be 96 feet high. Ms. Weaver clarified that is the auto center sign and she thought those are 80 feet high. Chairwoma^ Boydstun asked how much the sign is lowered by the grade of the property. Mr. Zur thehfreeway and the heightlfo~westbound fteewayitrafficl and that shoulder is about 3 oirg4 feetacent to Pat Halley, Community Development Director for the City of Yorba Linda, stated they have been working wi?h the City of Anaheim since the beginning of this program and have been very involved because Yorba Linda's side has developed a little ahead of Anaheim's side. The nature of the site has changed from primarily a business park to primarily a retail center. This is a unique site and one thing they considered was that uniqueness. and they clonsidereed the orangedgroveseand orangenarat SabelsnEucalyptus treesf dd wells etch They 04-03-95 Page 14 ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION -SUMMARY OF ACTIONS APB 3, ~~ like this approach and thought it is a unique solution. There is a problem finding the SAVI site and that she frequently drives past the entry to the site herself and has to go past and make an illegal 'U" turn. Ms. Haney urged approval of this program, but wanted to mention a couple of concem3. She explained one concern has to do with the windmill. They looked at the program not only as a wayfinding program, or a way to get people into the area, but as a program that would create an kfeMity. They are lntRrested in maximWng their sales tax revenue. They have a sign on the Yorba Linda side which is the Auto Center sign which is 75 feet high. It is not the nicest looking sign and ft was put up without a lot of thought. The modified proposal will make an'unattractive' sign into an integral part of this program and a pleasing sign to look at. They feel identification is needed on the west side and they really feel the windmill is an integral part of that klentity. The 30-foot high 11mft would completely miss the point and would not klentffy the site and people traveling east on the fteeway would not see >L also, it would blend in with the K-Mart sign and be dwarfed by the Edison towers. She suggested the staff could look at the windmill not as a sign but as a piece of public art H'.:ich identifies this area and that the actual lettering is not over 30 feet high which confrove the windmilat he Zoning requirements and maybe the Commission could find that as a way to app 70-foot height proposed, similar to the one on the Yorba Linda side. Ms. Halley stated the Yorba Linda Planning Commission reviewed Sign Type 3 which is at the entry to the site right on Yorba Linda Boulevard in a study session format and did not take formal action pending Anaheim Planning Commission's action today. Their Engineering Department is cons(dering doing a modification to that intersection which may result in signalization and some other road improvements, and that would be going to their City Council in approximately 1-1 /2 months through the CIP process. They do not know ff the Council will be willing to spend money to do the malification and they are delaying formal action on Sign Type 3 until that happens. She stated if Anaheim Planning Commission feels the windmill should be kept low, they had thought they could put a windmill on the east side of Yorba Linda Boulevard at Sign Location 3 to keep the windmill motff and the whole agricultural background which has been worked through this sign program. She stated the Yorba Unda Planning Commission was not in favor of a windmill at that particular location and they were strongly in favor of having a strong identHication with a windmill on Anaheim's side. Commissioner Bostwick stated he thought that would be the perfect location for a windmill and asked why they would not want it there. Coming from the Yorba Linda side, they have nothing but the bridge and then suddenly the exit for SAVI Ranch and they need that klentiflcation. Ms. Halley explained they felt the windmill was a real attention grabber for the east side and that it might dNert the eye level of the driver and they would like the monument sign that says to make the right turn Into SAVI. She also thought at that location, if might be too large. If there was a large windmill on the freeway, it was felt another one in this location would be redundant. She felt N Anaheim Planning Commission cannot approve the large sign next to K-Mart, then Yorba Linda might reconsider ft but at this point, they would urge Anaheim to consider a large sign and they would reconsder Sign Type 3. Commissioner Henninger asked about signatization mentioned earlier by Ms. Halley. He asked ff they 04.03-95 Page 15 ANAp{.BIl4j'CITY PLANNING COMMISSION -SUMMARY OF ACTIONS Aprft 3, 1995 are talking about making that a 4~~~fay intersection rather than going on through wfth the overpass and doverleaf. Ms. Haney explained they are considering making that an at-grade intersection with a signal and that ft is part cul~y witht he OrangeoCountyrlrnestment Pod pr blems nd if ft is do el~'d w u d happen in the far, far future. there would be several factors Mr. Zur Schmiede stated if the changes were made to that intersection, that would need to be taken into account: 1) there is somewhat of a grade approaching that intersection and ft would probably have to be flattened; 2) vwuid need left tum lanes; 3) loop road configuration would still be there and some sign type 4 and 5 would still be needed; 4) this is being brought to the Yorba Linda City Council as a future location as a capital improvement project anr. ft has not been discussed wfth Anaheim's Traffic Department. Ms. Bailey stated ft is just a possibility and is something they looked at and discarded at the beginning of this program, but ft has co en, kawould notl be fo a long t meevelops with more and more of the 'big box' retailers. If ft does happ Commissionier Hennintgeriadded thosieipla ehs would no texist if those changes were made a~ Chafrvvoman Boydstun felt the windmill sign should be bigger to identify the area. '~- Tom Newbrowsky, Project Manager for K-Mart Corporation, stated they have been working wfth the Cfty of Anaheim and Yorba Unda since this project started on the sfgnage program. They originally anticipated having this completed by the time their store opened. They opened the store four months ago and have had a chance in their customer surveys to see what the reaction is and thoseram for this have indicated that the customers are discouraged by a lack of awell-defined signage p og obviously very confusing roadway configuration. He explained inftially they were entitled to addftional shopping center signs but opted to get invdved with the wayfinding program partly because of the Scenic Corridor requirements and they wanted to be cooperative wfth thE~ uniform SAVI Ranch program. He suggested a basis for the Commission to approve the program as presented and possibly the No. 2 signs which Yorba Unda is hopefully going to approve might be to identify the Anaheim portion of SAVI Ranch area as a regional shopping center. They meet the crfteria as a regional shopping center by deflnftfon of the Urban land Instftute. The Super K-Mart center has 178,000 sq. ft. Anaheim's portion of about 300 000 sq. ft.ravailablehand added to K-Mart'se squarefootage, it isnove5 400,000 sq. fgt ~ fl1ere is Ken Ryan, Yorba Linda Planning Commissioner, explained he came to hear the discussion by this Commission and, hopefully, answer any questions relative to their deliberations regarding this program. They felt strongly about creating an appealing quality item denoting a visual image for the overall SAVI Ranch area, regardless of the jurisdiction. Plus, provide a program that would help wfth the function and order of some of the directional problems associated with the characteristics of the site. General comments were that the program not be too complex and provide some slmplicfty without losing the 04-03-95 Page 16 ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION -SUMMARY OF ACTIONS ~ 3, tom`' interest. Yorba Unda's Planning Commission is very supportive of creating an identification and of the history and some of the elements that are included within the program. They do th(nk it is important to have balance between both Jurisdictions in temps of setting an Image or an Icon for identifying what SAVI Ranch is. Most people don't know that portions of the ranch are in Yorba Linda and portions in particui arty as here ales to the cortimage wh ch~should be forean aesthetic purpose. strength, Concerning the discussion today reg^rding the windmill and modification of the existing sign in Yorba Linda to help create an identification ror the SAVI Ranch, they felt it is Important for balance between those two images and would be supportNe of making those Images more equal. lie explained they felt the windmill would serve a better purpose of identification of SAVI Ranch ftom the freeway side and then as you get to the location, tntemally Sign No. 3 definitely needs to be identity re- enforcement at that location but from their perspective, they support the best place for the windmill. He stated their Commission felt it was important as you approach SAVI Ranch from the west and exit to have some Identification, more than just a sign that Caltrans puts up which indicates where SAVI Ranch is located. Depending on the Anaheim Planning Commission action, identification coming west on the freeway, that there is again re-enforcement of the total program. Dwight Belden, WCV Properties, Development Manager for SAVI Associates, 450 Newport Center Drive, ~-- Suite 304, Newport Beach, explained thay have also been involved in this process since 1986. Initally, there was no on-site signage and there was no way to find the site from the freeway to any portion of the property. They embarked on a signage program designed to address the business park and the monument signs were put in relatively the same locations as shown on this map, but they were of a completely different nature. This program is obviously oriented towards a higher traffic volume and h is a better wayfinding program to handle larger numbers of people who don't go the park on a daily basis. Only the local patrons will be there dally and anything that can be done to emballish the program is certainly a move in the right direction not only for the owners, but for many of the tenants in the park. hashoccurrred from a bus nessipark t a etailp entemthey end theiresupport t the rrogram~nsition that Mr. Beldan referred to the need for the formation of some assocation to maintain the signage. Currently there is only a set of CC&Rs that have been recorded against the property in Anaheim. That does not provide for any kind of signage maintenance. An association is something that would have to be started from scratch. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Henninger referred to the timing of the conditions and po!nted out Condition No. 4 is not timed and asked ff it would be appropriate to incpumfts as a part of Corvfition No. 6 which would require that it be done before the issuance of building p_ Mr. Zur Schmiede responded he would recommend that being tied to the Issuance of building permits. 04-03-95 Page 17 ANAHEIM CITY PLANNING COMMISSION -SUMMARY OF ACTIONS Aprfi 3, 1995 ~.% he M is far in excesse1of what is nomrally Pe~rmiaectr i~ SC aOverlay 2onen age 5 and added this 9 Jonathan Borrego, Senior Planner, stated it is in excess, but that it was treated differently than a typical retail project because it Is advertising a variety of uses and really encompasses the directional program. Commissioner Caldwell stated some of the signs appear to him to be more advertising than directional. There is no question that we need directions or that the tenants need assistance, but that he is always concerned and had hoped something more along the line of a regional center was included. He was concerned about residents being able to look out and see these signs ftom the other side of the fteeway and the Commission needs Justification in order to approve iG He thought considering it a regional shopping center rrdght be the only way to accomplish this; otherwise, the SC Overlay Zone should rn~t be ignored. Mr. Borrego stated he thought the wording in the recommendation (17d) was intended to apply to the larger signs which are being considered under the program which are more directional or at least those in Anaheim. Commissioner Messe referred to the larger windmill and clarified it is 75 feet high a~xf the smaller t u ht 75 feeteis jus gigantic for that locationyandfihe would I ke toi o silider someth ng somewlhatt.

'~- Commissioner Mayer stated ordinarily she would be concerned about ideMitying a sign as a public art piece and that she Is currently Chairperson of Public Arts for the City of Anaheim. However, in thinking about this, ft has a sculptural quality. Additionally, :he City does have a Master Art Plan that was prepared by the Redevelopment Agency by a nationally known artist, Mary Mier, and she did extensive research into the total history of the area and the county and she was invdved in the first phase of Koll Anaheim Art Project and K has orchards, the agriculture, the Importance of the ri\ter and water to the community, etc. Ms. Meir was very involved in structures that supported agriculture which are our roots in history in both Anaheim and Yorba Unda and she noted numerous references In her art plan, which has been approved. Commissioner Mayer stated she understood that plan was to be implemented throughout the city. She thought i< cotta provide a basis to consider this particular piece as art. She thought the criteria for meeting that plan was agricwture, orchards, elements of water and the river, nursery, structures, etc. She added she felt comfortable with this as long as the sign portion stays at 30 feet. Commissioner Henninger referred to the electrical towers in the area which are 200 feet high and added he felt at 30 feet, this sign would appear drawled. Commissioner Messe thought 30 feet is not high enough but that 70 feet is too high. Commissioner Henninger stated he felt comfortable with the 75 feet pove his and theno nt nue fteurrtil sense for the Commission to clarify, by motion, their intent is to app after Yorba Linda has approved it so that ff there are some changes needed, it could be done.

He stated they are governing their approval on what is going on in the City of Anaheim and if there was something Yorba Linda had a problem with, he assumed that would be brought back to this Commission for a change to the conditional use permit Commissioner Henninger stated then ft would be readvertised and another public hearing held. Commissioner Mayer asked ff there could be a requirement that any additional signs conform to this style. Commissioner Henninger asked how the windmill program relates to normal pemtftted signs. Mr. Zur Schmiede stated this is a way8nding Program and the next ~~em on the agenda is a monument slgn that is in keeping wfth the theme of this program, specifically Sign Type 2.

PC95-40 ^~. ---------------------------------------- FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES. OPPOSITION: None IN FAVOR: One person spoke in favor of subject proposal. PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Tom Dobrowsky, K-Mart, exalainec; sales are dropping and they are attempting to get a variance for their signage on the side of the building, as well as monument signage that was allowed previously. They were wafting for the approval of the wayfinding program for the monument sign parameters. He stated they did customer surveys which indicated that they do not have very good identity to show that the K-Mart has groc6ries. They feel a strong need to get the word "grocery" on the side of the building which would be visible for westbound traffic on the freeway and other traffic. Greg Simonoff, Architect, stated when they began the process, they were entitled to and they got approval for two monument signs from the Cfty of Anaheim at twc locations. At that time they agreed to hold back the final design until the wayfinding committee overall final program was Identified so that those signs could relate to the overall signage program He stated their initial expectation was that the program would be in place relatively close to or around the time the store opened and that the signs would be in place. They proposed goals based on the preliminary discussions and are at a point now where they understand they would not be allowed to build that sign until the full program is developed. They are seeking approval to proceed on the monument sign which carries through the same theme, colors and sense of the signage program. 04-03-95 Page 21 ANAHEIM CITY PLANNIPJG COMMISSION -SUMMARY OF ACTIONS ~ 3, t~95 He added the second portion which was driven by the customer surveys has to do with including the words'24 hours" and the word 'grocer~l' underneath the existing already allowed "K-Mart" sign on the side of the building.

That easement is a z25 foot wkle strip of 'no man's land' and as part of the construction with K-Mart, they have completed in their behalf a cul de sac that terminates at the far end of that easement. They have also extended some wet utilfties to that area so they will not have to process through Edison any future undercrossings and he believed that ft is in their benefit, as well as the City's benefit. He thought this ground monument sign will also show potential users and retailers and other tenants of that property, that they will have the identity and ability to show people how to get to their property. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Chairwoman Boydstun stated she thought everything should be done to help the retailers in that area and she thought the signs look good. Commissioner Messe stated he did not have a problem wfth the word "grocer' or "24 hours" and noted the previous item was condftioned on having the maintenance association in place and asked if they go ahead wfth this monument sign, will they have to deal with the formation of the maintenance association. Commissioner Henninger pointed out these are private signs and they have to maintain their own signs. Joel Fick, Planning Director, stated Planning and Community Development staff both believe that the signs are consistent wfth the overall design of the program and ~ooV~stent with the original intent. K• Mart will be maintaining this sign and staff is recommending app Commissioner Henninger stated there was discussion regarding maintenance or the signs and asked ff ft would be appropriate to add a condition regarding maintenance. He added Commission heard from Code Enforcement staff that the only concerns revolved around things becoming hazardous rather than just looking bad. Mr. Fick suggested to address that point, that on this and similar applications, the conc;;:~n be added that the signs shall be maintained in accordance with the exhibits on file. Commissioner Henninger agreed and asked staff to just add that condtion in future requests. Commissioner Mayer asked ff this is a painted sign.
