14,400 sq. ft. shade cover for a roller
hockey rink
R1-8 (Single Family Residential) District

The project consultant, Ron Hoesterey presented the project. The existing shade cover was erected as a
temporary structure. The proposal is to use this as a permanent structure. A protective coating will be

New Proposals -
(4) DRB No. 3196
Hollywood Video Proposed new facade treatment to include
1632 E. Katella Ave. neon lighting and wall signs.
Brad Becker C-TR (Tustin Street Redevelopment)
District
Russ Stout, Architect, presented the project to the board. Photographs of several other location were
shown to the board. The proposal entails painted images of the Hollywood sign with the mountains in
the background. A neon light strip is also used to outline the profile of the mountains around the entire
building.
Concerns were expressed with the use of raceways underneath the channel letters. The new design is
distracting to the integrity of the shopping center, but in some respect, it also helps to lighten up the
center. Perhaps cutting back on the design and concentrating it on the tower elements would be more
beneficial.
MOTION by Timothy McCormack to approve the project subject to the following conditions:
1. Eliminate mountain profile design along the fascia area between the tower elements.
2. The red neon band shall run along the bottom of the fascia area and tied back into the mountain
profile at the tower elements. A narrow blue accent strip (approximately the same width as the neon
band) may also be used.
3. Eliminate exposed raceways from individual channel letters.
4. The reveal over the window store fronts shall be maintained with the existing rust color.
