MISSION VIEJO
The Yard House restaurant will not be coming to Kaleidoscope, even after a City Council decision made to lure new businesses to the mall.
Donald Paskewitz, senior vice president for Kaleidoscope developer Samsung Pacific Construction, petitioned the Planning Commission in April to allow an increase in the number of signs at the mall to inform the community about the shops and restaurants and to help lure prospective tenants.
