Zoning Administrator asked, are there five tree cut outs along Cerritos (one of the requirements
under Condition 4-b of the approval?)
Judy Kwok, Associate Planner, replied yes, that the exhibit does show five cut outs for tree wells.
Zoning Administrator asked, How far apart are they on center from tree to tree?
Judy Kwok stated that the trees are located approximately 35 ft. on center from tree to tree.
Zoning Administrator, approval of Administrative Adjustment with the plans as submitted will include
clarifications, that each of the tree areas along Cerritos shall be a minimum of 10 ft. clear not

tree in it, that there are a minimum of five of these tree areas and that the largest measurement
between the center of each one of these enclosures is maximum of 35 ft. from the center of one to
the center of the other. Also noting that the Planning Commission approval of final detailed plans on
February 1, 1999 required that the blockwalls not be painted., it will be a split face wall and it is to be
a natural color for the entire length of the blockwalls, and that the blockwall is going to be continued

State College Blvd. and then turning west along the Southern Pacific Railroad track for distance at

REOPENED MEETING:
ITEM 1.
Administrative Adjustment No. 151
Zoning Administrator wanted to clarify one point in looking at the plans that were submitted and the
resolution that approved the conditional use permit with which this administrative adjustment is tied.
They are required to provide one tree per every 20 ft. of lineal frontage adjacent to the arterial
highways both Cerritos and State College, that would be a total based on the frontages of 22 trees or
11 trees on each frontage, and only five trees are shown in the tree wells areas along Cerritos and
one or two or three trees are clustered at the corner.
Zoning Administrator wanted to clarify her decision that they are required to provide a total of 22
trees along the street frontages and for whatever trees are not provided immediately adjacent to
Cerritos those trees shall be provided on State College exceeding the minimum number that are
required on State College (for instance, if there are 8 trees associated with Cerritos another three
trees have to be added to the eleven trees required on State College, so that there is always a
minimum of 22 trees on the property in the street frontage areas, and that is a specific requirement
under condition no. 5 of the resolution approving the conditional use permit; that is, both City Council
resolution 98r-183 which has some typographical errors in condition no. 5 and which should, have
been identical to PC98-178, where its very clear that there has two be 1 tree per 20 ft. frontage.
