Boulevard. Ha ststed the property at ~~10 11est Veimont ha~ a resoluttnn of Intent for
commarcla) zoni~g and presently the lot at ~iA6 West Vermont Is zoned RS-72~0 a~d
their request Is for uniform =oning fo~ +~11 three lots whtch wlll be over an acre
when they ~rc cun~ined. f1o sCsted tha submttted revised plsn wes developed efter
severa) meetings with the naighbor~; that one af the neighbor's concerns was wlth
the p roposed Iist of uses p~@viously submitted because they felt It was too broad.
He ~eferred ta the revtsed ilst of proposed ~~ses in tl~e steff report which he felt
would b~a roasonable and compatible wtth the surrounding netyhborhoad. Ne explained
the uses proposed would bastcally be officc type uses and tho numbcr proposed has
been reduced. He esxplotned the parking has been meved to the rcar of the property
end non~ of the pa~king ls adJacent to Vermc,nt Avenue a~d the parking lot plan does
not facilttate a di~ect traffic ftow to Ve~mont Avenue. Ne stated there Is a
driveway at the present time at 41A uest Vermont; and that parking is provided for
all the requestcd uses on the revised Iist. flc sta~~d the Vermont access wes
relocated to the easterly sic;a of the proporty end there Is a curved driveway so that
it wtll not provide a dircct i~ and out situatlon. He statcd they feel the plan v.~ill
only sllghtly i~crease the traffic currently gcner.3t~~ on Vermont Avenue.
Mr. Drukln stated the ~ieighbors •ye~~e co~cerned thdt a landscaped buffer area be
provided end painted ~ut that a,.lanted lewn area h~s becn propas~~ which will
compliment tl~eir surrounding property and that the total lands~aped area fnr the plt~n
is 13~000 square feet whtch is 28$ of tl~,~ lot ar^a which far ~xceeds the minlmum
requirement for londscaDing in a conmercial zone and exceeds IanCscaping recently put
i n by other deve lopers.
Mr. Orukin st~ted the existtng bulldtng vtofates iE~r~ setback rcqulrements for the CL
tone which ~equires one~half ti~e dtstance to the ~ ~erty ltne for bullding height~
hawever~ the bul'diny Is Pxist!ng approxlmately ~~~et from the property line and
thare is no adequate wsv :~ reduce it by 22 feet. He stated the~e wll) be no wi~cfars
facing the resldentlai area a~d that the Increase in landsca~+ing wl11 provide an
adequ~te buffer.
lie stated they d o not believe this proJect will Impact the neighborhood that much
because there is alreacty e pGrmitted chlld day-care center whlch is not in operatior.
at che pres~nt tin~ at 4~6 West Verrtr~nt~ but they do have a ~er'mlt to operate that
busirv~ss ~s a commercia! establishment. t1e stated they ftel the waiver is a
technicel walvcr and pointed out they have tried to accommodatr. che surro~~nding
nelghorhood and not Impect the residcantial ares. He stated they belie~re thelr
proposal is a logica) end ressonable plan end wlll allow thc ow~er to use the
properc,• with uses that a~e conslstent with the surroundtna area; and that this
proJect wili maka the ~eighbonc~ad rtqre attractive a~d there wtll not be a
sig~tfi~ont tr~erease in the traffic over and above what Is alr+srdy occurring a~d that
thay beiieve thts will be an asset to the cttY.
Mr. Orukin read a letttr from Jer ~r Adal~ for tfie Sandman Motel wh~ h is across the
street~ stati~g they fael the con+merclal use at k06 West Vermont will facllitate and

Doris Smaltzer~ k13 W~st Ve rnbnt~ stated she has talked with her nalghbors atnce the
previous meeting and dtscovered thelr concerns ware not Just th~ ~raposed plans but
ths fact that commerctal zoning is baing prot~osed. She st~ted thia is ~ residentla)
srea whnre they ara tryl~g to ralae famtlies ~nd do not want mare cammerctsi usea.
She presentod a petitton containing appr~ximatQty 23 sig~stures and read the
statement on the petitton as follaws.
"We the understgned petitton the M Ahatm Ctty Planning Commission to
deny the request for commercial rontng at k06 West Vermont Avenue. We
, so to protect the resldentfal natu~ ~f our nelghborhood and because
~+n feel Verment Avenue cannot withstand the increased trafflc and
safety hazards such zening woula affect."
She explatned these stgnatures are from resldents on Vermont snd NamF+shtre.
Sho stated they feel Mr. Dr~~.in has tried very h~ard to work out the
p roblenr~ and did meet with h~r and her husband three different times~
i~~ever~ they heve lat htm knew they are concerned wtth the commerciai
zoning. She stated the ro vised plans still have fiaw-through trafflc and
the~e I s a dri veway on Harbor whi ch i s qul te sma i i. She stated there I s a
lot of trafftc on Narbor BoulevArd and she believed the customrrs going
inta th~se businasses wtll exit o~to Yermont once they soc~ the traffic flow
on Narbur. She added they a~e also concerned about ti~e excess tr~ffic and
the safety of thefr chiidren.
Ms. Smeltzer stated the petitioner mentioned the propcrty adjacent to 4~6
west Vermont {s zoned conMnerc.ialty but that it is rlght naw being used
restdentially with very fr:• -.:a~s. She steted Varrtw~t becon+es very bu~y
from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and it is difficult for her to get in and out
of her drivewsy and oven thouqh Mr. O~ukln cl~ims these uses will ~ot
increase the traffic ~u~stantialiy~ she felt they wfil.
She statcd she stii) sces thts property as three separate ~arcels but it (s
~ot knaarn how one of them wt11 be deveioped and that the other two are two
separate uses.
She steted aga(n their basis cc~nc:ern is wlth the canmercial zone and that
Chey would like to keep their n~eighbarhoad a sefe a~~d pleasant residential
area to raisr their families.
Mr. Orukin stated he understan<h the neighbor's concerns and he has met
with s ar~e of the same peopte NF~o signed the petltton. Ne polnted out that
Ms. Smeitzer had stated at the previn~s meoting that they did not want to
interfere with Mr. Pinto's rigfit to develop hls Rroperty as long as the
uses were compatible with th~ restdentis) area. Hc stated he felt theY
have made a sincere effart to provide a compatibie development that will
not greatly lmpact her property, and they feel these uses v+tll be
co~siste~t with the residenttal area and hC stated he felt Ms. Smelt2cr is
not w i 1) i ng to 1 1 ve up to what she~ stated preV i~ous i y and he d i d not

with. He stated he was unable ta obtatn any writtcr~ support of the plan~
but he d'd get verbe) support.
TNE PUDLIC NEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commtsstoner Herbst exp~esa~ed his concern for the combined p~~ktng areas
for all th~^ee properties with 47 stsll~ whtch could possibly exit ont4
Ve rn~ont. Ne steted this i~es been one af !he problems with other
developments along Mr. Ptnto's proparty in th~ past. Ne stated he aqr~rs
wtth combining a11 three properCles but it does present the possibiltty of
many more vehlcles onto Vermont and that would be e problem for those
residents. He ciarlfled that varlances qrented on tho pr~perty would stsy
wi th the property 1 f the property (s sold end t~~a olr! fiause ckmo) tshed.
Jack White~ Asslstant City Attornay. ~xpl~ined oariances dr. yo with the
property~ but that epproval of th~ canditional use nermit coufd ba
conditioned upon the existing structures end if the ~ttructures are
demolished~ the var(ance could be termineted.
Chatrman Tolar stated the oppos(tlor~s concarns are lustifted. na~+ever~ the
Comnlssio~'s responsibillty ts to look at tf~e entire ~ropcrty; and that the
Commisslon suprorts the concept of land assembly and tf these three lots
~re cortt~ined for develc~ ment. they could not be subdivided without
~ecording easements across each one betause of the layout and if thls plan
is approved~ access would bc grantcd fo~ ingress and cgress on Ve~mont. Ne
stat~d Narbor Boulevard is yoing to have cortxnerclel uses and if th(s
nroperty w~as approved ~or .~- multl~le-fami ly reslder-lal use. the trip
count would probat~ly bc ,just as higti a~ these uses . al i thrce lots wuuid
have access c~nto Vermont whtch wouid create more probl~ms. He agreed a
medical factlity would not be cort~ atit~le because they heve created scxne
real p roblcros fn the past. rle stated the Commission does constdcr the
right of the property awner to devclop ttie propcrty and tries to sae that
it is developed to its highest and best use and that che Cortmisslon does
try to p~atect existing co~dittons around the a~ea end not violute the
surrounding ncighbors property rights. He stated he felt thls wouid be a
much better proposal for thn property than a Multiplr-famlly use and woutd
have less Impact on traffic. Nc clarified that the property awners heve
all revi~red the ~evised plans ~+nd statea he felt this plan provfdes a much
better use th~n anything which hes been presented before for this property.
Commissioner Herbst stated I~is concern that the prape~ty ls b~eing requested
for reci assl f(cation to co+rrrierci al uses wi th the access onto Vermont. He
fett this would ba a further encroachment (nto a residentie) area. Ne
peinted out that the exlsting home hes been a buffer in the pest. He fele
if this ts approved it would not be long before thc 8d}bGCnC ~roperty

the only benPfic would be to actually improve the e~tlrc parcci wtth a+~~~~
structure. He steted his cnncern is with conMr~rcial, limited zoning and
these are very broad uses and that the developer is requesting thEs broad
ltst of uses in ord~r to fll{ the buildtng with tenants. He stated the

and that he dtd not feei there would be any cype of buslnesses going Into

the prope~ty avner wanted to dovelop a restaurant on the property~ It could
be done with approvsl of a candttlonal use ~e~mtt~ but beceuse of the size
of the prot+arty a varl~nce for parking would be involved and there is a 9f1Z
chanc.~ the Commisslon would see whatever Is proposed in the future.

Is off Fairmont and ~this is not a!~ood sltuatlon for a oommerclal center because of
congestion that could bc created on the sfte with atl the trafftc trying to conNerge
Into ane driveway; +thAt they believed thts type left~turn acce~s can operate ssfely
and it has been proven over the yaars noting chis type ~ccess was first deveioped in
the carly GO's by the Los Angeles Caunty Road Department to service the Lakavood
Center and it has been used in many other cities; that the one shcwrn in the :-ides o~
MacArt~ur has a very heavy volume and is ecceptable by CALTRANS because it ia a state
hlghv+ay. Ne stated thls type situafion works beceuse vehicles are conce~~ed with
only one opposing trafflc movement. He pointed out they are rat requesting left-
turns out of the center. Ne stated the proJected volume at this location Is
approximately 17,600 per day and that thn northeast corner of Santa Ana Canyon Road
and Imperial acc~ss was provtded on a temporary basls until the ATD reached 25,OOQ
and the votuma at thts t~c~tnt is considerbly lower and they feel on that basis the
left~tur~ can be provided wtthout creatir-g any undue problenLS or hazards to the
traffic operations along Santa Ana Crnyo~ Road.
Prior to heartny the opposttion, Chairman Tolar pointed out that the hesring today is
