Commisa.oner Herbst reirrred to the memo from the Community Development
Depertment end eteted h• did not think unite at 5110,000 could be conaidered
effordeble houaing which is beeed on the income of the family. He aaked what
the hardahip would be for gr~nting the w~ivera and indicated he thought this
pc•oject wes overbuilding the property.
Mr. Nocrie et~ted undec the guidelinee they were given, they do meet the
afFordebility criterie far a S oc 6 pereon h~uaehold.
Jeck White, 1~siatant City ~ttorney, explained under the ma~datea of Section
65915 of the Govecnment Code, the City is required to grant denaity bonuaes oE
not lesa than 25~ if the owner provtdee not leee Chnn 25• of the total number
of unite as afford~ble to femiliee oE low or moderete income ae dePined by
State Law and those ere familida who ete below 1201 0! the County median
income. He stated the City ig not in the position of deviating from that
definitionj however, in thie ceae the eFplicent ia requesting 4 diatinct
waivera of Code cequicpment end it would appear waivec (b) apecifieally
relatea ~o the density bonus e~d the other three would requice regular
findings under the variance procedure wherei~ khe property hae to be unique
and denial wauld deprive eubject property of privilegea enjayed by other
property in the aeme zone and vicinity,
Mr. Notcis steted he does not know what the herdehip could be, but they would

kry to meet the affordability guidelines.
Commieaioner ~ecb~t etated these will be 3-bedroom units nnd there will be
children in thoae unite and recreational epace will be needed and a waiver has
been cequested.
Mr. Norrie atated they intend to place recreational-leisuce space in the re~r
yards of each uniC end that in other affordable projects, the recreational
space is throughout the pcoject in thp common areas, with very small
individual spacea and he believed this
feeling of e single-f~mfly dwelling withctheic ownipcivatehbackyards~l@Ke~ the
etated the backyard is 10' x 40' and another erea ia 10' x 20' which would
allow for a patio, apa, etc. and he thought that wes better than having 1,000
squere feet in e common area. He etated thia project hea little or no common
space so thece will be hardly any aseociation fees and there will be a play
couct et the end of the street and thie project was de~igned acound femiliee.
Responding to Commi$sioner McBurney, Dean 8herer atated waiver (c) refers to
the dietance of the building well to a eide property line and th~ 11 feet ia

meet Code in that locetion.
Dean Sherer, 1-aeociate Planner, atated Code permits 300-aqu~re foot billboarde
wi~hin so many feet of en acteriel intereection~ but doea not permit
billbonrde adjecent to freeways end that would require approval of a
conditional uae p~rmit. He reterred to Title 4 of the Municipel Code which
prohibite billboerde deaigned to be viewed from the fceeway and if thia wea
approved, the epplicant would etill h~ve to obta~in approval from Ehe City
Council for amen8ment to thet Cod~.
Chai~mA~ Pro Tgmpure Bouas etated ahe did not know how aparkments could be
advectised on this billboArd.
Mr. Mickelson etdted it is not theic intent to limit the billboard ta
apartments for rent. Ho ateted a~ny 300 aq. ft. billboerd in the ML Zone
cequiree a conditiona.l use permi~ regdcdlesa of their locetion. He atated he
did not believe the w~ivers ere Appropriate ~+e the Code very clearly cella out
that billbo~rds lerger then 300 square feet may be permitted by conditional
use permita and he thought that was a technical interpretation of the codei
hcwever, it has been interpreted thia way coneiatently. He atated he wea not
eware previously of Titl~ 4 end did not think staff had been ~ware of it
either since it had not been discussed. He added it might be appropriate for
the City Council to consider amending Title 4 sincE the City itself ie in
violAtion.
Commiasionex Herbst ateted he would vote againat thia requeat, but if the
Council aees fit, tl~ey ehould change the ordin~nce eo the Flanning Commiasion
io not continuelly being put on the spot, but right now the Codes are in
effect and he would heve to abide witt~ them.

not want to get into a diecussion about the free enterprise s,ystem but that
the other cAr washes ece providing full eervice car wash facilikiea and this

they have waehed them to dry the windows, etc. Mr. Drager staked that moat
people will not do th~t, but they will provide a space on the lot, however,
thet would make it more difficult if those dri~eways wece closed and pointed

stated he did meet with the Sheli 011 Company architect and thought they hsd
worked out a compcomiae to close off one of the drivewaya at each location and
in this particula~r project the drivewny on Beach would be cloaed. He
responded to Commissione~ King that their office did not do en accideht report

reafdences to the rear= end that they have hed noiee problems in :he past and
do try to keep their beck door cloaedt thet if thie is appcoved, their parking
will be taken away and accesa to the reac will be eliminatedi that opening the
ceec door will leed to burg~acies and elso there will be no way to protecC
cuatomers' vrhicles parked in the rear. He ~tated he had talked to tt~e Firc~
DepArtment end it seeme like this would create an emergency eccesa problem
becau~e of the fence.
Mr. Scheubel stated they have seating for 150 peo~le in their facility and
have 9 employeee and h~ve a herd time keeping tt,at many employeea on the

people por houc, to support that many ert~ployeea and thought that would create
hig tr~ffic and no1s~ probleme.
Mr. Schaubel stated they will have to hire a door man for their eatabliahment
which will create an additionel h~rd8hip for thera. He stated normally a
facilit}~ for a beec and wine license attracte undeeirable customers, such as
bikers, and normally a high-class restaurent will have r cacktail license. He
added the people in the neighborhood already have a noiae problem.
Responding to Chairman Pro Tenpore Bouas, Mr. 5chaubel atated their parkinq
will be reduced because there will not be any access to the cear without
walking all tf~e way around. Ne stated thete is a driveway there now and they
F.lan to fence the property.
Responding to Commissioner Herbat, Dean .: erer stated the petitioner would
need a conditiunal use permit evan if they ace not requesting a beer and wine
license because the request ia for a semi-enaloaed restaurantj however, an
enclosed restaurant could be built thece by right. He stated there is a
20-foot wide road easement recorded against the property on the south property
line and thet easement will remain free and unencumbered for access purpoees
to all the properties to the eaet
Reeponding to Commiasioner Herbst concerning the losa of parking referred to,
Dean Sherer explein~d this is a single use on a single property and he thought
Mr. Schaubel's concern is that the easement will be closed which would
eliminate scceas to their own outside p~rking, but that will not occur because
that is ,~ recorded easement.
Mr. Schaubel stat~d p~eviously anothec owner requested to fenee this propecty

R. Walter steted when the DMV was lo~ated on aubject prop~r~y, people emptied
their aehtraya and walked on the parkway dest:oying the f 1 ow~ra, etc. and they
do not want a reoccucrence of thaL eituation. He atated quite frequently

perking apaces to be provided are indicated as tandem parking with valet

There wae no one indicating their pceaence in oppoaition to aubject cequeat

Mr. Rodriguez, agent, expl~ined they are requeating these eigns becauae of the
heiqht of the building which is over the 25-foot limitation on the one side
facing the freeway and alao there ia no identificetion eign et the entrence to
the property off Ball Road end there is dn exiating eign for the Spaghetti
Station.
Dave Collins, Gsneral Partner for the owners, atated there is an ercor in the
etaff report regarding the fcantage on Ox Road and stated when they ecquiced
the property, the signs were allowed if they were 300 feet a~part end pointed
out these efgns will be 30Q feet apart. He stated he wa$ concerned that e
waiver was neceasary foc the third sign becauae it seems a freeway is a
highwey and e fceeway ie the most impoctent sign expoeure. He atated the
height of th~ sign is necessery becnuae of the height of the ovecpass and so
it can be aeen northbound on the Santa 11na P:eeway. He stated they are asking
for one foot leas than the neighboring Sheraton Hotel eign. He etated the
only ~reeidential property ie 280 feet awey ecroas the freeway and thet project
has no windows on that eide ao the eign would h~ve no impact mnd if it couls!
be seen, only the edge cou1Q be seen rather than the fa~ce.
-,,. Commiesioner eerbst clarified that thie has nothing to do with the height of
the building and i~ the sign was 30L~ Feet awAy from the residencee ecroae the
freewny, the varfance would not be necegsary.
