At the request of Mayor Harvey, Councilman Banal reviewed the discussion
which was held by the City Council at its meeting of March 27, 1972, regarding
the 25' setback requirement for the Highway Commercial zone. Following
Councilman Kanel's review of what had transpired, considerable discussion
was held relative to the interpretation of the 25' setback requirement, and
whether i= was meant to apply to the landscape setback or the building setback.
Various means of encroaching into the 25' landscape setback were discussed, and
it was suggested by the City Manager that perhaps the City Council and Planning
Commission might wish to review the plans submitted by Mr. Herman Lehner, which
are scheduled to be presented to the Planning Commission at its evening session,

into the landscaping setback by businesses located in other cities in Orange
