Commissioner Hellyer stated in regard to item no. 1, there was
discussion on the possibility of moving the street back 5 feet, and in

could have the street moved 5 feet and avoid any other enlargement of
the retaining wall.
Commissioner Hellyer offered a motion, seconded by Commissioner Bouas
and MOTION CARRIED that the street be moved back 5 feet with no added
impact to the retaining wall.
Mr. Mickelson stated he would like to add 1-foot to the retaining wall

F~LLOWING IS ? SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE
CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: 1 (not really opposed, but was concerned about several
issues).
OPPOSITION CONCERNS: Concern regarding ingress and egress for customers
of the bank facility; currently enjoy an easement on subject property
that provides adequate parking; concern was expressed about conditions
nos. 3 and 4: on page 12 of the staff report dealing with the Critical
Intersection of Imperial and La Palma and their concern lies with
property to the south and east of their facility in that it appears that
the development of the Critical Intersection will take place on their
prope_ty; not clearly defined as to how the theatre, patrons to the
shops and their customers are safely going to leave the facility and
head towards Imperial Hwy; in favor or development, however, is asking
City to review, from a safety standpoint, the ingress and egress of this
development; ;vould hope that City would compromise with the setbacks and
planting ara? ?c once the sidewalk is installed it leaves very little
raw :and for landscaping. Cinemapolis supports the development.

,,,~ i°'`
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Project originally approved March, 1990. Had
discussions with their neighbor to the west and it was Planning
Commission's and City Council's desire that they integrate both
properties into a mixed use development; this is a result of many hours
of negotiations between the Sanborn Family and themselves; they are
attempting to create a new facility for Rnolvroods restaurant (Bldg. D);
Condition No. 8, on page 13 of staff report should read "fifteen 15
foot radius curb return," and also should add as last sentence of
Condition No. 8 (a): "Subject to approval of Federal Highway
Administration." Wanted clarification of Condition No. 31, page 16 of
staff report, i.e., they wanted the 14,000 square feet of restaurant
uses-to apply to Bldgs. A, B and C only as this is what was discussed
with staff. He explained Bldg. "E" would either be 6,300 square feet of
retail use or 4,375 of restaurant. Will do whatever City wants
regarding the Critical Intersection. Wants City to bless waiver "c"
pertaining to minimum structural setback; waiver "c" was not a problem
in lbarch when they were before the Commission; bank has an easement for
access and they will maintain that access easement into the new driveway
and they will also have a reciprocal and parking arrangement with the
tY.eatre; offer to move Building D and leave Building C alone.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Questioned ingress/egress and circulation during
peak periods; concern about putting Bldg. E in the back as opposed to
putting parking for the theatre; concern over waiver "c" regarding
minimum structural setback, i.e., it should be redesigned to eliminate
that waiver by pushing the Rnolwood bldg. back; compact parking could be
grandfathered in; correction in staff report, page 5, Code Required
Ratio should read .3 spaces per seat.
STAFF COMMENTS: If they reconfigure compact parking to regular size,
they would be losing about 15 parking spaces; Melanie Adams, Public
Works-Engineering, explained the dedication at Imperial and La Palma
where Union Federal Svgs. is located, has not been made at this time and
if no further Zoning action is done on this property prior to the
designing and construction of the critical intersection, that property
will be purchased by the City for the critical intersection program;
correction on page 13 of staff report, item no. 10, i.e., delete the
following language from the beginning of the paragraph, "That in the
event a garcel map to subdivide subject property is recorded.";

------------------------------------------
FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE
CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: None
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Proposed shopping center is to accommodate tl~e
approximately 6,2(10 units in the area; it will be the neighborhood
commercial shopping center for this area; they have a fully enclosed

noise and a construct a wall; they have a 100-foot setback on Weir
Canyon Road, a 50-foot setback on Serrano Ave and a 20-foot setback on
Canyon Creek, so in addition to the site that is irregular, there are
also some constraints with respect to setbacks on 3 different streets;
proposing 3 signs on Weir Canyon as there is no access going north on
Weir Canyon; retail center needs signage from the street; will only have
name of shopping center, Ralph's and CVS so people know there is a
driveway; has point of view drawing that shows roof-mounted equipment
will not be exposed and will not be visible from any vantage point and
that they would be willing to paint and site screen with parapets.

FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANLTING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE
CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: None
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Expanding their ministry by constructing and
operating a complete child care center including infant care, extended
day care and pre school for approximately 70 children. Note: Page 7 of
staff report, condition no. 1 should read "76 children," The site is
existing and fully developed except for the southwest corner; all of the
structures, circulation, landscaping and parking is all existing and
they are utilizing this one space that was set aside for the day care
center; parking is most practical in the front of the building for
drop-off and pick-up of children; would be willing to buffer area
between playground and residential neighborhood, i.e., they would not
have any paved areas or playground equipment in the 15-foot setback from
the residential area and that the area be landscaped with trees.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Understand need for a day school; playground
behind the building could cause some concern for residents on the west
side; perhaps parking could be behind the building and the playground
could be where the parking is, i.e., centered in front of the building
and, thereby, act as a buffer; put playground to the interior of the lot
rather than up against the residential; could revoke CUP if there is too
much noise.

return and their drawings reflect this.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Concern regarding relocation of residents.
STAFF COMMENTS; Alfred Yalda, Traffic Engineering stated they do

that turn.

acceptable.
(:OMMISSION COMMENTS; Leave in condi*_ion no. 5; concern regarding
landscaping in front along Ball Road; there is no site screening of air

residential area.
STAFF COMMENTS; Even if document was recorded and the condition has

place; condition no. 5 is a requirement of the Sanitation Division;
storage area should be acceptable to Sanitation Division as as long as
they have jurisdiction over the location; condition ao. 12 needs to be

Council may require 10 feet of landscaping, however, the current
requirement is 3 feet--plans cou13 be refused at the plan check level if

CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: 7
OPPOSITION CONCERNS: Too many senior projects and not one of them are
filled up; concerned about density; concern about the block wall and the
possibility that it would encourage graffiti, therefore, would like to
see wrought iron fencing or a combination block wall with wrought iron;
concern about 3-story buildings and more traffic generated; concern that
this will be changed to condominiums at a later date because seniors
will not be able to afford the rents; would like something spelled out
in the minutes about working conditions, i.e., time and days of
operation.
PETITIONER'S_COMMENTS: Submitted some handouts to the Commission; there
are 2 other senior projects within the vicinity; on page 1 of staff
report it states a 524 density bonus ana it should be 504; if they want
a gate after 6 months or a year, it will be in the minutes and he will
stipulate to that.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Would like to see change in the block wall;
concern about the security gate and unassigned spaces; work to start at
8:00 a.m. and not 6:00 a.m. and citizens are encouraged to call Code
Enforcement if this is not adhered to.

' STAFF COMMENTS: Eric Nichols, Housing Development Manager, stated they
have a long waiting list for seniors (about 900) and there are a lot of
vacancies; the seniors are not satisfied with the type of unit that is
being offered and this project will help the other projects. He was not
sure how many of the 900 were just looking as to how many were
interested in the affordable provisions; the affordable units rent
quickly and the market rate units are slow to lease and take up to 8 to
10 months to fully lease and sometimes up to a year. Can add security
gates at both parking areas.
Mr. Nichol requests a ~ inge to staff report, condition no. 24, page 16,

privacy; wanted assurance that this would not be, now or in the future,
a 2-story building; wants it to stay a commercial unit.
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Waiver of minimum structural setback will have
no negative impact on the neighborhood; high vacancy factor in office
buildings.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Why not keep it as an office building; too
congested and quality of life would be affected; not enough open space.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION N0.
-------------------- ____ _ _ ___ _
-------------------------
FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE -
CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOS?TION: Approximately 30
Approximately 15 in favor
OPPOSITION CONCERNS: The church was fine for a long time until they got
too large; they want to tear down houses and build youth centers;
traffic is a problem; they will not show them their master plan;
building is intruding into their neighborhood; they are not z3iding by
setbacks that the rest of the residents have to abide by; the
landscaping is minimum; everything they propose is minimum, but they
want the maximum use; they are the churches neighbors only because of
location; concern about visual esthetics; other church owned properties
have not been properly maintained; they own 11 homes and this is only
the beginning ox the expansion; both entrances to the church are off of
Kenwood and there is concern regarding the traffic; questions
feasibility of having a child care center that close to the freeway.
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Lessened neighborhood impact by reversing the
plan from Candlewood to Norwood based on the pattern of djacent church
owned properties. For clarification, on page 1, item 2 c.F the staff
report, it suggests expansion of church and child care ce:~cer; actually
there is no ex ansion of the child care center.
On page 3, item 6, it breaks out the uses and noted that those major
uses occupy all the same floor space; for clarification on page 3, item
no. 8, there is an average of 260 in attendance at the Sunday School
rather than 420 as indicated; the Sunday School meets from 9:30 a.m. to
10:30 a.m, and the church service is from 10:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; Wage
3, item 6, last paragraph--the yard would be comprised in such a fashion
that a 5-foot high noise and screened wall would be located 10 feet from
7/30/90
Page 20
-~ -,
the property line and continuing on the site from the property line
there would be a 4-foot high transformer that would be 15 feet from the
property line; he noted that the transformer will be setback to the
15-foot setback so that the only thing in the sideyard area would be the
5-foot high wall; there is an AC unit in the yard and that will ba
placed 30 feet from the property line in a noise buffered unit.
Page 1 of staff report, item no. 2 pertaining to waivers, there is a
waiver referred to as the institutional setback and this prohably refers
in part to the electro mechanical setback and perhaps there may not be a
waiver required, but merely a permitted encroachment.
In terms of the parking setbacks, it was noted that 15 feet would be
required with 0-4 feet existing on the east side along the south
property line adjacent to church owned properties; this area would have
6-foct high walls and screen type landscaping.
There is a waiver for parking with 338 required and 281 proposed; the
harking study has indicated that 204 spaces would be adequate and they
are providing 77 spaces in addition to that.
Code would require 25 feet in the front setback and they are proposing
10 feet, ti.owever, the annex would be placed at the end o£ the cul-de-sac
(located on church owned property) and placed facing Norwood across from
3 church owned properties and would rerr on 2 church owned properties.
Church would like to take access oft of East Street if Caltrans would
permit that access along the existing church frontage on East Street and
if they were able to acquire gropert~ suitable for such access somewhere
along East Street; it has been sugg~a~te,d that they take access along
Norwood only; this would not seem appropriate, however, the proposed
annex, because of its facing onto Norwood Street, would tend to balance
access to the site.
There is no significant impact regarding traffic; on-site noise would be
mitigated through building site design and location; line-of-sight will
be mitigated; there were 3 Code Enforcement complaints regarding the
properties and they believe this has been taken care of; concern
regarding walls and use of walls along the adjacent residential
property; they would be providing 6-foot high block walls along the
south property line on the church property.
Concern by residents of type and placement of trees in the landscaped
screening area; they would be working with staff to alleviate this
concern; trash areas are located 50 feet north of the residential area
and they will be moved further north inwards on the site to be picked up
100 feet distant from the residential area to the south.

Need clarification on following conditions:
No. 4: Ca11s for sidewalks along Candlewood and there are sidewalks
presently along Candlewood.
No. 8: Refers to street lighting along the Norwood and Candlewood
Streets; could this be meant to refer to the street frontage
area along Norwood and Candlewood?
No. 9: This indicates that there is a fee for street purposes and
thinks this should be for street tree purposes.
No. 21.: Calls for a 6-foot block wall along all property lines except
the front setback; the property fronts along East Street where
Caltrans presently controls access rights; it extends along
the north to the Riverside Freeway and there is not a block
wall there at this time; they hope that the condition would
mean along residential groperty lines.
At IDC there was a question as to whether or not there would he
additional dedication in improvements required along East Street and
this was subsequent to their prior proposal; they believe that this has
been dedicated and approved and the City Engineer was going to check
into this and reconfirm it.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Is air conditioning compressor grouad mounted?
Traffic report does nut necessarily address itself to growth of the
church; may have to purchase additional properties; may be creating a
traffic hazard for ingress/egress; the neighborhood has some rights. It
would help both sides if they got together with the neighbors.
STAFF COMMENTS: Traffic study submitted does not indicate any impact;
must take into consideration that people who attend church will not want
to park on the church lot and there is nothing to prohibit them from
doing that; some people are lat. for child care and they speed up and
Traffic Engineering cannot do anything about it; if any access off of
East Street, they must check with Caltrans first to find out where they
can have access.
ACTION: Continued to 8/27/90 to address some of the above mentioned
issues.

FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE
CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: None
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Proposed use is a beauty salon and an office and
there is no significant impact on the ~avironment; request that:
condition na. 1, page 4 be removed, i.e., they do ::ot want t2:e City to
handle this, they want to do it themselves; is putting in landscaping;
condition no. 9 should read "use 3s either a beauty salon and an
office"; this is a family owned business. Regarding page 5, condition
no. 11 of the staff report, they request 2 signs--one on Western and one
on Ball Road.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: i° go for 2 signs, must have a variance to
proceed; asksd if he was wanting to run 2 businesses, i.e., a beauty
salon and an office?
STAFF COMMENTS: Can have one 8 square-foot sign because it is 3
conversion; this was advertised as a commercial use in a residential
structure.
Melanie Adams, Public Works-Engineering, stated the repair to the
sidewalk area would have to meet the requirements of the City Engineer
and the Field Engineer on-site would approve any reconstruction.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLA2'NING COMMISSION ACTION. NOT TO BE
CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: None
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Clarified that the staff report is deceiving
regarding additional extension of time; it makes reference to a letter
of _T-~ne 5, 1990 and this was the original letter asking for an extension
of times. They asked for 2 previous extensions of time and now would
like to ask for complete removal of the extension of time. A letter
dated July 5, 1990, is not attached to the staff report, but does ask
far complete removal of the extension of rime. The July 24, 1990 letter
(attached to item no. 15) is a description ~~ the operation and the
current lease runs to 1996. The ultimate request is the complete
removal of the time limitation or as an alternative, a 6 year extension
of time.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Discussion about previous CUPS; 6 years is too
long.
STAFF COMMENTS: Planning Commission has the rig2it to have time
extensions expire after a specific period of time or have it subject to
review and renewal after a certain period of time. Advanced Planning is
looking for short term changes occurring in the Stadium area, therefore,
3 years is the recommendation staff would be giving.
