Q.S. 57
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, introduced the item.
Dave See, Senior Planner, stated the Police Department recommended approval of the item but wished
conditions limiting the project to one (1) year; limiting the hours from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday through
Sunday; and limiting the business to karaoke only to make sure it did not become something beyond that
requested, i.e., a dancehall, no coverage charge, etc.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Diana Madi, representing the landlord for Aoun Plaza, Aoun, Inc., along with the owner from Quan Choi
stated they are a little concerned with the limitations from Thursday to Sunday because they wanted to be
able to offer karaoke Monday through Sunday.
Ms. Santalahti asked if there were other onsale facilities in the location.
Ms. Madi responded four (4) including; Bombay, Las Cruces Mexican Restaurant, P&J Liquor and Philly's
Grill. The applicants would put up a sound barrier wall facing the empty lot on the east side to make sure
tenants and residents on Sumac Lane were not disturbed. Also, the letters concerning parking on Sumac
Lane were not from their shopping center but from the Indian House Restaurant.
Ms. Santalahti asked if the Police Department were aware of the preference to have a full week rather
than being limited to Thursday through Sunday.

Mr. See responded the Police Department is aware but are still requesting Thursday through Sunday.
Ms. Santalahti stated preference to concur with the Police Department's recommendation in the context
of a shorter period of time (for example 6 months) to see how it would work out.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mark Gordon, Deputy City Attorney, stated pursuant to Title 4.18 of the Municipal Code a condition of
approval requiring the applicant to obtain an entertainment permit needed to be added to the conditions.
Mr. See stated staff would add new conditions to require an entertainment permit; limiting the permit for
one (1) year; limiting the hours from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday through Sunday; and limiting the
business to karaoke only.

Q.S.70
Srsubtpm2005-147akv .doc
Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, introduced the item.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
The applicant stated concurrence with the conditions of approval.
James Ling, Associate Engineer of Public Works, wished to state clarification on the wording and timing
of some of the conditions: Delete Condition No. 6 because it repeats Condition No. 1; Condition No. 5,
states that the plans must be approved by both the Planning Department and Public Works Department
prior to issuance of a building permit however, the current procedure is that only the bonds for the
improvements need to be posted prior to the issuance of a building permit. The actual improvements
have to be constructed prior to final building inspections.
Dave See, Senior Planner, stated staff recommended Condition Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 15, 16, 18 and 19 be
removed from parcel map to variance conditions because they are tied to a building permit.
Annika Santalahti wished clarification on Condition No. 15.
Mr. Ling clarified the Safe Harmless Agreement is a standard document prepared by the City Attorney's
Office and is for construction of a private storm drain and connections to a public storm drain.

Mr. Valdez stated he is mostly concerned with traffic and what will become of the area. He understands
they are going by Phase 1 and Phase 2; Phase 1 being an entrance from Commercial Street and Patt
Street but he is not certain if it is going to be through Kemp Street or if it is going to have a private access
going into Kemp Street. Kemp Street is a very small street, only 30 feet wide, and is not adequate to hold
very much traffic. La Palma Avenue is a very busy street. There is a problem at Anaheim Boulevard and
La Palma Avenue with signals and would generate a lot of traffic and a big problem for the neighborhood.
He suggested either blocking off Kemp Street or to have traffic come through the access where the
railroad spread used to be and that would divert the traffic right into the signal of La Palma Avenue
instead of trying to get out on Kemp Street.
He stated Phase 2 would have to be another entrance going into that area but he is not certain if the
intentions are to be heavy traffic, truck traffic, people traffic, etc., and feels pretty soon they are going to
have cars trying to get out through the alleys which would be a big impact on the area. Regarding the
improvements on La Palma, he stated if they are going to take the island out or do improvements he
recommends they either use the square from the railroad tracks going into that area to create more
entrances/exits, and suggests another alternative would be to block off the entire neighborhood by putting
a block wall in the back separating residential and industrial.
Brian Malliet, BKM Development Company, stated as it relates to railroad easement there is not a railroad
easement that the property has access to La Palma Avenue. There are two other property owners with
properties that block access from the subject property to La Palma Avenue to a railroad easement
therefore it is virtually impossible.
As it relates to generating traffic, all of the traffic and all of the construction traffic comes off of Patt Street
coming into the commercial area, none of it comes off of Kemp Street. His company has an office off of
Kemp Street that a superintendent drives his car back and forth on but other than that all construction
traffic comes off of Patt Street.
Ms. Santalahti stated that Mr. Valdez raised some interesting points and she would like to continue the
item for two weeks (September 29, 2005) in order to have the opportunity to go out and drive around to
see how the project might be positive for the area.
