in addition, Mr. Yenglin indicated that staff recommends relocating the <br />drive-through eating establishment to another location on the site; limiting <br />the hours of delivery for the center with a special variance for Wal*mart; <br />and limiting the amount of outdoor sales and special events. <br />Mr. Wendel Hindley, representing the applicant, indicated that staff's <br />concern with the drive-through lane was not a major problem. The drive- <br />through location was not in proximity with the truck routes and would not <br />cause heavy congestion. He indicated that traffic studies had been conducted <br />at the location and it was determined that the location would not cause <br />problems. <br />Commissioner Brown asked how deliveries would be made at the fast food <br />establishment. <br />Mr. Hindley stated that trucks would come off the north end of the site and <br />back-in to the fast food establishment. <br />Commissioner Doughty asked if there had been another plan to relocate the <br />fast food establishment. <br />Mr. Hindley stated that there were no other plane to relocate the <br />establishment. Mr. Hindley also stated that he had an acoustical study <br />conducted and the study concluded if themitigated measures were implemented, <br />the noise level would be below City requirements. The loading docks would be <br />enclosed and he felt loading zone concerns of staff would not create any <br />problems and requested the Commission not to restrict hours of deliveries. <br />He also mentioned that he would be willing to work with staff on the design <br />of the pylon sign. <br />Commissioner Oliver asked Mr. Hindley if he was willing to negotiate with <br /> staff on the delivery hours. <br /> Mr. Hindley indicated he would not negotiate the hours of delivery for <br /> Wal*mart and stated if the hours were restricted for Wal*mart the applicant <br /> would not proceed with the project. <br /> Commissioner Oliver indicated that he agreed with staff in terms of delivery <br /> restrictions and expressed concerns for the homeowners adjacent to the <br /> property. <br /> Mr. Hindley mentioned that the site had previously been a drive-in theater <br /> and he felt there would be less noise from the proposed project than the <br /> drive-in theater. <br /> Mr. Joe Vielma, local resident, indicated that he had been looking forward to <br /> the project and some of the concerns raised by staff were not concerns of the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> Commissioner Pedroza asked Mr. Vielma if he felt the fast food drive-through <br /> aisle would create a hazard for pedestrians and motorists. <br /> Mr. Vielma indicated he did not feel there would be any problems associated <br /> with the drive-through. <br /> Mr. David Lopez, local resident, indicated that he felt the project would <br /> benefit the community. The residents would not have a problem with the <br /> loading noise and were in support of the development. <br /> Mr. James Kendrick, indicated that he had a discussion with the developer <br /> regarding the loading issues and he felt comfortable with the mitigation <br /> measures that would be taken at the site and suggested that the project have <br /> a six month review. <br /> Mr. William Boyntan, indicated that he was in support of the project and <br /> emphasized that the City of Santa Ana needed more shopping centers for the <br /> community. <br /> Ma. Maria Sandoval, indicated that the majority of the neighbors supported <br /> the development of the project. <br />Mr. Joe Meyer, indicated that he felt staff was making a bigger issue out of <br />the delivery hours than necessary and reiterated that Wal*mart did not want <br />delivery hour restrictions. <br />Mr. Bill Kenney, representing the land owner, indicated that the delivery <br />restrictions were a policy issue and requested the Commission to listen to <br />the residents and base their decisions on the community. He also mentioned <br />that the developer was trying to satisfy all members effected. <br />Chairman Mondo stated that the Commission would discuss and vote on each item <br />separately. <br />Commissioner Oliver moved to approve the five signs; two pylon signs; and <br />three monument signs. The motion was seconded by commissioner Doughty. <br />PLANNBJO COMMLSS[ON MIldUTFS 5 FEBRUARY 26, 1996 <br />
