Chairman Karakiasked for confirmationtheapplicant wasgoing to use wristbands or tickets to
monitor access to the facility and dissuade their patrons from parking on the nearby streets.He also
inquired about the possibility of using cones or a-frame signs to help alleviate the problem.
Chairman Karaki opened the public hearing.
Phillip R. Schwartze, representing Quartz Dealer Direct,31872 San Juan Creek Circle, San Juan
Capistrano, statedtheyhad researched the possibility of using temporary signs on Crestbrook Place
to inform their patrons to not park on the street; however, becauseof City restrictionsregarding the
use of conesor signs in the public right of way,the ultimate decision was made to usewristbandsto
control parking and access. The bands would be usedone time only and color coded by day to
prevent reuse. When a patronboardedthe jitney atthe off-site location, a wristband would be issued.
Only persons with wristbands wouldbe allowed on the property. In addition, a uniformed security
guardwould be stationed at Crestbrook Place during the auto auction periods, which would be
Monday and Friday afternoons. Mr. Schwartze said he had sent a letter to the neighbors who made
comments at the May 27, 2009 Planning Commission Meetingasking for their ideas onhow to
eliminate the parking issue. He also asked them for photographs of patronswho parkedon the street
so they could identify them. He hadnot received any correspondence from the residents.
Commissioner Eastman referred to a letter from a resident stating the parking situation had improved.
She said she was concerned that people were parking on the street several hours beforethe auction
commenced. She suggested the applicant’s security guard ask people sitting in parked cars on
Crestbrook Place if they were there for the auction.
Mr. Schwartze said he they had considered providing the security guard with a camera. He would
take pictures of the vehicles in question, including the license plate numbers, which would be fairly
simple for Quartz to trace.
Commissioner Ramirez asked if the brokers attending the auctions were repeat customers.
Mr. Schwartze said most brokers wererepeat customers. At times, Quartz receivedcars from rental
companies which brought in a different type of customer. However, theymust all be licensed
wholesale auto brokers in order to buy cars.
Commissioner Ramirez asked if these brokers were made aware of the parking issues on Crestbrook
Place.
Mr. Schwartze said because they now had a permanent off-site parking locationwhere customers
couldconsistently park, it would be easier to inform them.
Commissioner Ramirez inquired about a statement made by a resident of Crestbrook Place at the
May 27, 2009 meeting,that persons parking on the street were waiting for brokers to exit the auction.
Mr. Schwartze said he was not sure why theywould be there. If photographic evidence was provided
to him, license plate numbers could be traced.
Commissioner Faessel said he was in the vicinity on Monday, June 15, 2009,at approximately 5:15
p.m. and spent time examining the layout. There was significant action throughout the area: cars

were being moved around, entering and exiting the driveway. However, he did not see any cars on
Crestbrook Place. He said he had been in the area again on Monday, June 22, 2009,at
approximately 1:15 p.m. He noticed many cars were parked on Crestbrook Place; however, he was
not able to determine if the cars belonged to auction customers or residents of the neighborhood. He
did not observe a guard in the area.
Mr. Schwartze said the guard normally begins his shift at3:00 p.m.
Commissioner Faessel suggested a guard begin his shift earlier in the day. He said he was
concerned withthe overall impact of the parking situation onthe residents.
Leslie Anderson, 1209 East Crestbrook Place, Anaheim, stated the following concerns: although
parking issues have decreasedwithin the last month, onFriday, June 19 at 11:30 a.m., he noticed
several vehicles from Quartz parked on CrestbrookPlace for a short duration;and, the parking
situation on Crestbrook Place had notbeen conveyed toauction patronssince the last Planning
Commission hearing. Considering that the issues had been occurring for the past eight to ten years,
he did not believe thiswas a positive signthe business would be able to address the problems.He
commended Mr. Schwartzefor hiring an outside security companyto attempt to find a solution to the
parking situation. He hadobservedthe guard sittingin his car, discouragingpersons from doing
business on CrestbrookPlace. Mr. Anderson could not confirm whetherthe guard was wearing a
uniformor not.He said that in September 2007, after a Planning Commission hearing, the guard was
only there for a couple of weeks. He was concerned that this would bea temporary solutionand that
problems would persist. Mr. Anderson askedwhy the Planning Commission wouldconsider a two
year permit as Quartzhadreceived a one year extension in September 2007,which expired in
September 2008.He asked if a two year permit was granted, could he expect it to expire in three
years with no conditions.Mr. Anderson said he hadalso witnessed a patronpark his car on Dawn
Street and walk over to the auction.He saidthe parking problems were not just limited to Crestbrook
Place.
Mr.Schwartze said when they filed for an extension,they realized the church which allowed them to
use their parking lot had an expired conditional use permit. The new site for parking had only been
available to brokers within the last forty-five days. He said he believed the parking issues would be
alleviated as brokers become aware of the new site.
Chairman Karaki closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Buffa said she believedthe community hada legitimate complaint that they were
bearing the burden ofoverflow parkingfrom the business. She suggested periodic inspections by
City staff, such asninety days from the meeting date and again in six months, to ensure the new
conditions were effective. Shesaid shebelieved the wristband program could work.
Commissioner Ramirez agreed with Commissioner Buffa’s comments. She saidthere was a
condition in the resolution requiring the owner to pay for inspectionsif necessary. She suggested the
frequency of the inspections should be determined by Planning staff.
Commissioner Romero said hewas concerned with placing aburden on the neighborhood. He said
in hindsight, the proactive uniformed guard and wristband program should have been implemented
two years ago. He also agreedthere should be periodic inspectionsby City staff.

Commissioner Eastman stated that parking was an issue throughout the city and it wasdifficult to
attribute a stray car to any one source. She said she would like to see the Code Enforcement records
which would indicate how much proactive reporting there hadbeen in the Crestbrook Place
neighborhood. She encouraged the residents to continue calling Code Enforcement to report people
who do not belong on their street or who aresleeping or sitting in their cars for an extended amount
of time.
Commissioner Faessel said he agreed with the comments made by Commissioners Buffa and
Eastman. He stated this permit wouldexpire in August 2010. He asked staff how long it would it take
for it to returnto the Planning Commission.
Ted White, Senior Planner,said the requestwasfor a retroactive two year extension of time, from
August, 2008toAugust, 2010. He clarified that by code, the applicant hada six month period after
expiration of a permit to submit a request for reinstatement. In this case, the applicant had submitted
the request within the required time period. However, because they were working on the parking
agreement, it took additionaltime to get the item on the agenda for Commission consideration.
Commissioner Faessel said he agreed with Commissioner Buffa’s comment regarding placing an
unnecessary burden on the neighborhood residents. There had been testimony in the past hearings
regarding on-going parking issues. He agreedthat more oversight was needed.
Commissioner Agarwal said the applicant’s proposal was not sufficient. He stated for the past seven
to eight years,the Commissionhad extended the permit with the hope that an alternative site would
be found and that hadnot happened. He said he did not support the project.
Chairman Karaki said he sharedthe same concerns as his fellow Commissioners. This wasonly a
partial solution, but he would like to give the applicant the benefit of the doubt that compliance would
be achieved.He recommended that the residents report any activity that was not in compliance with
the conditions of approval.
Commissioner Buffaoffered a recommendation that the Planning Commission adopt the resolutions
attached to the June 22, 2009 staff report, determining that the Negative Declaration servesas the
appropriate environmental documentation for this request and approvingan amendment to
Conditional Use Permit Nos. 1322 and 4014and Variance No. 2009-04776,with modificationsto
Condition Nos. 3 and 15 of Conditional Use Permit No. 1322. The modification to Condition No.15
would providefor quarterly Code Enforcement inspections. The modification to Condition No. 3
would requirea uniformed guard be posted at Crestbrook Placethree hours in advanceof any auto
auction and during all auction hours.

Environmental Determination:
The proposed action is
categorically exempt from the requirement to prepare
environmental documentation per California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Class 1(Existing Facilities).
David See, Senior Planner, provided a summary of the staff report dated June 22, 2009,along with a
visual presentation. Copies of a letter from an anonymous property owner on Grove Street,opposing
the project wereprovided to the Commission.
Commissioner Agarwal asked staff if Grove Street would be used by ambulancesas an entrance and
exitto Kaiser Hospital once it was built.
Mr. See responded that the driveways would serve as entrance and exit to service vehicles,
paramedics and emergency vehicles.
Commissioner Agarwal asked if there were plans to widen Grove Street.
Raul Garcia, Principal Civil Engineer, said there was not an active project to widen the street;
however, Kaiser Hospital had been conditioned to dedicate an additional six feet of right-of-way
adjacent to Grove Streettoprovide a sidewalk and parkway only. The curb and gutter wouldnot
change.
Commissioner Agarwal asked whetherGrove Street met the minimum requirements forastreet with
parkingon both sides. He wanted to know whether the street was wide enoughfor emergency
vehicles to use.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
Mr.Garcia said the existing street standard allowedfor parking on both sides with a travel lane in
each direction.
David Kennedy, Associate Transportation Planner, said on-street parking accountedfor eight feet of
pavement on either side of the street. Grove Street is designated as an “Interior Industrial” street and
hada width of fifty two feet from curb to curb and parking would occupy sixteen feet of thatwidth. If
cars were illegally parked, there would still be enough room for an ambulance to travelon the street.
Commissioner Faessel asked staff if there would be an increase in traffic because of trash vehicles,
vehicles carrying oxygen and other materials that hospitals normally required, and the additional
delivery vehicles associated with the new utility plant on Grove Street.
Mr. See said staff’s main concern was the blocking of traffic lanes.
Commissioner Faessel said he was concerned not only with the off-loading of vehicles, but alsothe
normal traffic associated with the hospital.
Commissioner Romero said he concurred with the statements in the letter from the anonymous
property owner. He said he haddriven past Grove Street several times throughout the day and
evening and noticed it was often blocked with cars. He said he could not imagine what congestion
issues there wouldbe once the hospital opened.
Chairman Karaki opened the public hearing.
Phillip Schwartze, the applicant, 31872 San Juan Creek Circle, San Juan Capistrano, stated that in
the past, tow truck operators had used the entire cul-de-sac as their own private space because there
was not much traffic going through. In the last six or eight months, the traffic and parking along
Grove Street had increased due to the construction at the Kaiser Hospital and The Crossings
Apartments. He said Robert Smith, the property owner, would ensure that the lessee of the tow truck
business would conform to the rules and regulations. There were currently two and one half
businesses on the property. One was Bitetto Towing and the other an auto repair business which
builtcustom cars.
Commissioner Faessel said he had driven by the previous Saturday and observed numerous cars on
the street as construction work was in progress. He asked how a tow truck driver would deliver a car
onto the property once construction was completed.
Mr. Schwartze said a truck would normally off-load on one of the two Grove Street entrances to the
tow yard into a slot in the yard or inside the building.
Commissioner Buffa asked if the auto repair business wasopen to the public for general automotive
repairs.
Mr. Schwartze said they only do custom work.
Chairman Karaki closed the public hearing.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
Chairman Karaki commented that once the hospital is built, the property owner would have to comply
with all the regulations and Condition No. 9 pertaining to accessibility to Grove Street.
Commissioner Agarwal said all the conditions would not be met all of the time. A problem will arise
when an emergency vehicle needs to get through and there are vehicles blockingits path.
Commissioner Buffa commented that within a fifty two foot right-of-way, even if you lose eightfeet on
either side for parking, there would still be two generous travel lanes. If a tow truck or trash truck
were on one side of the street and anambulance needed to get by, it would use the oncoming traffic
lane as they have the right to do. She said she could not foresee a circumstance where an
ambulance would be blocked. Commissioner Buffa stated that the traffic problems would decrease
once construction was complete and there would not be as many traffic issues.
Commissioner Eastman offered a recommendation that the Planning Commission adopt the
resolution attached to the June 22, 2009 staff report, determining that a Class 1 Categorical
Exemption serve as the appropriate environmental documentation for this request and approving
Conditional Use Permit No. 2009-05406.
Grace Medina, Senior Secretary,announced that the resolution passed with six yesvotesand one no

the east side of the gas station trying to turn left and head north on Sunkist or trying to get into the left
turn laneto head east on Ball Road.
David Kennedy, Associate TransportationPlanner,said there were currently no prohibitions from
turning left out of the driveways onto Sunkist Street. Traffic conditions madethat movement
extremely difficult, particularly during peakmorninghours.Mr. Kennedy suggested installation of
right turn only signs at both driveways on the east side of the property.
