Mr. Christopher Carnes, Senior Planner, presented the Staff Report to the Commission.
He mentioned that Staffs recommendation included adoption of eight conditions of
approval which included that the on-site parking and back-up area accessing the parking
shall not be used for the storage of vehicles and the type of vehicles stored on-site are not
wrecked vehicles. He stated there was a 30-day turnover for the vehicles, and the
vehicles on-site shall not be used for a salvage operation. He noted that the applicant
owned both this site and the site to the north, but the proposal was only for this site. The
north parcel was rented to others.
Commissioner Bilodeau asked Staff if there was any feedback after the neighbors had
been noticed.
Mr. Carnes replied no.
Chair Bonina asked Staff what type of fencing surrounded the property.
Mr. Carnes stated the applicant had not installed the fence yet between the two properties.
He said there was an existing eight-foot, heavy duty tubular steel wall that surrounds the
properties. He also stated the applicant would install a similar wall fencing between the
two properties, and there was an existing fence between the building and the southerly
property line that had been repaired and painted.
Chair Bonina stated it appeared the gate of the tubular fence had some privacy element to
it that made it difficult to see through.
Mr. Carnes stated this was correct. He also mentioned this was a screen to partially
reduce the visibility to the back area.
Chair Bonina asked if the gate would only be located next to the building between the
planter and the corner part of the building.
Mr. Carnes stated the project site would only access off of Parker.
Chair Bonina opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Mark Hassan. Hadlev Towing, 1078 N. Parker, Orange. He explained that his
business dealt with several government agency contracts that required Conditional Use
Permits for any property they operated from, and that it would not be a salvage or
wrecking yard. He stated it was a towing service with possible storage, if needed. He
added he had read the report from the Planning Commission and he agreed to all the
conditions.
Commissioner Pruett asked the applicant what the typical timeframe for vehicle storage.

Mr. Hassan replied it could be 15 to 30 days. He added that some vehicles were stored
for one to two hours also.
Chair Bonina asked if the business was open on the weekends.
Mr. Hassan stated they were open by appointment only.
Chair Bonina asked the applicant to confirm there would be no off-site parking, and the
applicant stated all tow trucks would be parked inside the premises.
Chair Bonina closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Bilodeau stated the project was categorically exempt from the CEQA
guidelines, he moved adoption of Resolution No. 4-06 approving Conditional Use Permit
No. 2557-05.
