. . . . Commissioner Wright stated he believes McDonald's has a lot of business because it was the first fast food business in the area. He also feels California Burgers does a great business lIDQ it has no freeway visibility--good business equates to having a good reputation. His personal opinion would be to approve only the six-foot monument sign. However, he will support staff's recommendation for a 20- foot sign. He would also like the bright red color toned down, feeling that a slight change in the red tone will still provide corporate identity. Mr. Villanueva stated that In-N-Out Burgers is not at this time well-known in this area, and feels the 30-foot pylon sign is still an important issue to them. Commissioner McGuirk stated he will support staff's recommendation; however, it seems the City has freeway locations but does not want the area cluttered with signs. He feels the 30-foot sign is too high, but no sign would be too drastic. Commissioner Wright inquired if the pylon sign would also have signs for the future uses of the retail building. Mr. Villanueva stated that if a 30-foot sign is approved, he would not allow signage from the retail building to be placed on the pylon sign. Commissioner Wright motioned, seconded by Commissioner Hovingh, finding the project would not have a significant effect on the environment and adopt a resolution approving the draft Negative Declaration.
