CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITIONS 1
OPPOSITION CONCERNSS Concerned if Humana Hospital is interested in
adjacent property and if eo, what plans do they have for the property? Do
they want to expand further west? Concerned someone is seeking access
through their residential tract to these properties.
PETITIONER'S COMMENTS: Request to expand the existing parking lot on
Parcel A by covering the Carbon Creek Flood Control Channel (Parcel C);
this would provide additional parking and provide access to Parcel H which
would also provide additional parking; need zone change to cover the
channel. In order to ~aaea opposition concerns, they are not interested in
the parcel next to them] they arc certain they will not over burden the
property. Met with adjacent mobile home park and they have an on-going
relationship with them. The applicant submitted a letter from the mobile
home park endorsing the proposal.
COMMISSION COMMENTS: Discussion took place ae to how many beds were in
the hospital and if they anticipated an increase in usage of those beds;
parking appears t~ be dense. Concern expressed regarding a 2-story
medical office building facing the west aide that shares parking with the
hospital. Do not want a use that is severely under parked and do not know
how to condition this request eo that the hospital grounds are parked
sufficiently. Much of parking ie patient and visitor parking.
STAFF COMMENTS: Alfred Yalda, Traffic Engineering, stated there should
not be any problems with the parking and they feel comfortable with 2.8
spaces per bed. He stated the visiting hours would ba at the time when
moat of the office staff would be going home, therefore, there would be
more visitor parking available.

OPPOSITION: 3
oPPOSiTIGN CONCERNS: only one person received a notice regarding thin
1
meeting; underneath flight pattern of helicopters for police and ~,
therefore, could lose homes and their lives; have had some problems with
chemical spills; there is a residential area adjoining this chemical plant
and they get noxious smells; they were asked to evacuate at one time;
safety of human lives is a factor; what ie the legal distance between
~ residential and a chemical plant; distance from schools could be a
~' problem; traffic ie already horrendous.
PETITIONER'S COMMENTSS All conditions have been met except for
ventilation of the facility and the Fire Department has given them a
one-year extension. In reference to Condition No. 20, no storage is
permitted on the docks except for incoming materials from vendors and then
it ie removed within 4-6 hours or immediately; according to the Uniform
Fire Code, Condition No. 16 should read 4" instead of a 6" minimum
regarding the resistance of the chemical coating to be applied to the
Interior of the warehouse area; no serious spills in the past 10 yearn.
The helicopter's flight path is northwest which means it ie coming in over
its own property and landing on its own pad, therefore, it misses their
property by about 100 feet; under the regulations of the AQMD, they must ,.,x
be within 1,000 feet of their own property line and any school; if schools J
are further, then they do not have to report it; the safety of human life
is why they have complied with all the agency regulations and have been
inspected by every agency including the FBZ and the bomb squad. }
COMMISSION COMMENTS: The Fire Department and Code Enforcement will be
continually monitoring this facility to insure that things will be done ae
they should be= in the previous public hearing, the applicant stipulated

,~ that the loading dock be segregated for chemicals so that the chemicals

Condition No. 16 should read 6" and not 4" above the floor as stated by
the petitioner.
Bruce Freeman„ Code Enforcement, requested that the ground areas be
asphalt or ce:aent coated and also an epoxy lamination be put over the top
of that= outs:lde storage and washing of drama ie permitted in certain
areas and thoi:e areas have to be contained ae well; all outdoor storage to
be sight-screianed and shall not exceed the height of the fence= they do
