The New Saigon Mall on Bolsa Avenue can keep the Buddha statues, awnings and signs that were added to the building without city approval, the City Council has decided.
The mall opened Jan. 31 in a converted warehouse at 9221 Bolsa Ave. At the grand opening ceremonies, city officials became aware of several additions that had not been included in the original plans, said city Planning Director Brian Fisk.
Developer Frank Jao asked the council to approve the modifications, which include two 16-foot Buddha statues, red awnings and outdoor benches and tables.
Jao also received permission Tuesday for some related future projects, such as more signs, landscaping, and 12 outdoor retail booths at Cultural Court, which includes the nearby 99 Market.
