1544 Bast First Street in the R1 and C2 Districts.
Councilman Brans stated that Mr. Lebanoff, applicant for
Variance 76-46 is a customer, of his company; that there could

approximately 550' deep; that to the east of the property is
the Royal Inn; that to the west-is the Royal Roman, and to

parking spaces are planned; that the Planning Commission
approved the Variance application on September 13, 1976 and
that there was no testimony in opposition to the Variance.
Mr. Maurice Lebanoff, variance applicant, 11821 High View
Drive, stated that the project is planned to be several independent
operators grouped together; that it will not be the typical
garage; that it will be clean, not greasy; that cars being
worked on will be inside, out of sight; that the project is
tastefully designed with a roof of concrete tile in contemporary
California style; that the front is set back two to three feet
to allow mounding and planting of specimen trees; and that this
is a one-half million dollar project, and the second in a series,

that they feel this project is not compatible with their hotel;
that the people in the nicest rooms in the hotel from the third
floor up would look right down on this facility; that there
would be excessive noise ~f motors being raced, tires being
removed, etc.; and that patrons of the parts store would tend
to use hotel parking spaces.
Bernard W. Mort, 1426 W. Marion, Director of Sales for the

tor of the corporation that operates the restaurant in front

willing to make this a condition of approval; that the roof of
the restaurant is more unsightly than the proposed garage
facility; that landscaped islands will make the development
attractive; and that the entrance to the facility is from an
interior court.
John Van Houten, Certified Acoustical Engineer, stated that he
was working with the developer to alleviate any potential noise
problems; that he had measured the traffic noise, and the noise
level at various locations on the property; that he had also
measured the noise levels of the various automotive activities

facts to the Orange County Noise Ordinance and had made numerous
recommendations to the developer for insulation and for specified
locations for various operations proposed; that he also recom-
mended no loud speaker paging system be used, and that lunch
trucks air horns not be allowed.
