Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-35 Minor Exception No. 2003-10 January 20, 2004 Page 4 Second, staff is concerned with the intrusion of illuminated, commercial signage in the residential neighborhood. In an effort to keep the structure in context with the residential neighborhood and avoid light and glare issues related to illuminated signs, staff is including a condition of approval limiting the site to one five-foot, non-illuminated monument sign and non-illuminated wall signs for the project. At the December 22, 2003 Planning Commission meeting, a discussion was held on the conditions proposed for. the project. At the conclusion of this discussion, the Planning Commission amended two conditions and deleted one. First, Planning Condition No. 3 was revised to require graffiti removal within 24 hours in order to be consistent with recently approved projects with a similar condition. Second, Planning Condition No. 4 was amended to allow the YMCA the ability to illuminate the monument sign by installing lighting that will project onto the future sign. Finally, Planning Condition No. 8 was deleted since it duplicated another condition of approval. The YMCA of Orange County will provide needed services and programs to an under served area of the community. To address concerns related to the proposal, staff has included conditions of approval that mitigate these concerns. As a result, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2003-35 and Minor Exception No. 2003-10 as conditioned. Environmental Impact After completion of Environmental Review No. 03-233, a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program has been prepared for this project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Exhibit 8).
