COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Henninger -Hard to give guidance wrihout review of the final plans; feri
the adNriy on this property has gotten as big as ri can get and still be in
line wrih the neighbofiood; would like to see some agreement wrih the
neighbors to give them the comfort they need that after this expansion the
facility will bo at the maximum development, aril he envisioned that
agreement as deed restrictions, and that is a pfirate matter between the
petriloner and the neighbors.
Boydstun - If more parking Is going to be needed, ri should be dose to
the administrative offices and not by the neighbors; that the 24-hour
dause in the previous proposal should be deleted and the hours should
be set so the neighbors know there are no night meetings planned, etc.;

Ilghts should be down graded as much as possible, and N counseling is
going to be Increased over what K is now, they should have an off-she
place for that activity.
Messe -Felt downsizing Is appropriate, and suggested the applicant look
very carefully at the future of this use on this sfte; that he has been on the
Commission for some time and has seen this applicant come in very often
wkh new applications for expansions, but that maybe they have reached
the maximum use of that property and any expansion has to be

CONSIDERED OFFICIAL MINUTES.
OPPOSITION: 1 person present
Scott Norris (tenant), 500 N. Tustin
OPPOSITION CONCERNS:
Tenant In existing apartment complex dkl not want to relocate and transfer
children to another schod, and dkl not think adequate parking could be provkled,

PETITIONER'S COMMENTS:
Concerning Condkion No. 3 recommended on the tentative tract map -slated he
talked wkh Melanie Adams in Engineering regarding the dedication and though
that had been changed to 53 feet Instead of $5 feet.
One of the main concerns was parking and this plan Increases parking, curcendy
there are 84 spaces and that will be Increased to 90 spaces and will improve the
qualky of parking wkh a single-car enclosed garage, !'' ~° .,~ carports, and 10
guest parking spaces.

,, Responded to Chairman Henninger -upgrades proposed are completely cleaning
and painting the interior, all new appliances, new plumbing, new lighting fixtures,
new roof, each unit will have laundry hook-up facilfties either on the balconies of
the upstairs units or attached to the unit.
Regarding drainage -they are aware of problem and fixing the driveways and
building the carports will eliminate part of the problem; aril that much of drainage
problem created is by the slope which the City Is responsible for maintaining. Not
sure which wooden fence was discussed, but they plan to do whatever is required
to make this a marketable product;
Regarding agreement with Housing -stated they have worked out a formula and
price structure and signed the letter of understanding., and In fact, signed another
copy Just before this meeting; and first sprinMers and landscaping will be fbced.
Regarding relocation -Basically three categories of people would qualify for
relocation assistance, those who have been there over 2 years, those at 80% of
median adjusted Income would receive 1 month's rent, plus moving expenses and
those who have been there 1 year would receve 50%, 6 months to 1 year, 25%,
and less than 6 mos. -10%, plus it Is available to those who are over (i2 years old,
and the handicapped.
Also are trying to convert existing tenants Into buyers, and plan to offer incentives
to those tenants, rather i~ ~:^. giving them relocation money.
COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Messe -asked that relocation benefits be reviewed for the benefit of the tenant
available.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Planning -Recommended Condition Nos. 9, 10 and 11 be moved from the
Conditional Use Permit to the Tentatve Tract approval because they irndve
recorded documents and agreements with the Housing Division and should be
recorded concurcently with the tract map.
Condftion No.14 requiring landscaping adjacent to the freeway, should be prior to
Building and Zoning Inspections, and recommended that they actually plant vines
or other climb(ng materials prior to Issuance of build(ng permft.
Engineering -Condftion No. 3 of the Tentative Tract Map should be modified to
read 53 feet Instead of 55 feet.
Code Enforcement -Did Inspect 3 unfts, 1 of which was occupied; seemed to be a
drainage problem, planters on the west sWe were draining directly Into back yards
of unfts facing Tustin Avenue; hdes had been made in retaining wails to allow
drainage; wooden fence on Richfield Overpass is leaning and needs repair, and
that embankment also has a drainage problem and that slope Is not being
maintained which is the responsibility of the Cfty. Property appears to be well-
maintained, but does need some facia upgrades.
Housing -For potential low-Income buyers, there is a second mortgage
assistance program wfth down payment assistance loans, etc. and 8 unfts are
being provided urxler that program.
Recommended condition requiring a drainage plan to be included wfth the
landscape plan.
Recommended a Condftion be added requiring washer & dryer hookups to be fully

~, enclosed and screened from view.
Engineering -Wasn't sure what is causing drainage problem, I.e. sprinklers related
to irtigatlon, or ftom the roof, and asked fl Community Development would be
reviewing that drainage plan, indicating concern about the coordination. Mr.
Nicdl responded they would be looking to the Engineering Department's expertise
relating to that drainage plan. Chairman Henninger suggested that the Planning
Department coordinate that review of the drainage plan between Engineering and
the l?uliding Department.
ACTION: Approved Negative Declararlon

Do not Dave a specHic user for the east skis, but do not anticipate requesting any

continuance due to the long distance the applicant has to travel. Apologized for
the problems portrayed in the photographs submitted of the Harbor she; that they

they bring in the old core; and they receNe used oil from their customers.
Want to turn the building eastward so bays are not facing Santa Ana Canyon
Road.
COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Messe - Concerned about signs, and did not think the large monument sign is
necessary in the medlsn in the extension of Roosevelt Road (Staff explained the
only sign permitted would be the shopping center Identiflcation sign approved by
a variz ice end that the overall sign program was approved prior to all the
parce~,zation and there was no coordination between the property owners); the
summary presented by staff of the signage was reviewed; could not vote on this
wkhout seeing final plans, especially wfth the circulation and signage problems.
Asked about roof-mounted equipment. (Architect explained the air conditioning
equipment would be hkiden from view and could not be seen from the top of the
adjacent building or from any residential area; that the screening is at a height of
31 feet and the hospital is 35 feet.)
Boydstun - concerned about maintenance of the lot and that she has seen the
problems at their Fullerton store wfth people working on their cars in the lot, and
suggested a eondftlon that they would have to be responsible for the maintenance
and H there are Code Enforcement problems, they would have to pay for tt and
then if h Isn't working, the permit can be revoked.
Henninger -asked where the sign facing east, towards the parking lot would be
seen (agent explained that sign would be seen from tfto interior of the lot; wanted
to see revised plans wfth a change in the circulation for the load(ng dock.
Page 8

_.i
Suggested that the operations concerns be worked out today aril then maybe the
petftioner could take care of the rest of the Issues at the next hearing; that based
on what the Commission has seen from the photographs submitted, they do not
want the same thing to happen at this she. Asked if they receive used oil (agent
explained they accept oil from their customers only) and Chairman Henninger
asked H they would participate In California' pilot program to receive up to 5
gallons of used oU from any customer, not only their customers. (Applicant
agreed). Suggested a condtion that Code EMorcement Inspect the property
periodically and that the applicant would pay for those inspections.)
Taft -asked how they ponce the parking lot to prevent people from working on
their vehicles. (agent explained they post signs and the Service Manager and
Sales Manager have someone go out and tour the lot periodically throughout the
day; but that occasionally a customer might need to install a set of new windshield
wipers and that is difficult for them to prohibit, and explained their policy is to
have the vehicle brought Into the service bay, no matter how minor the installation
may be. Agreed to accept a condition imposing a fine H that happens.)
Mayer - Questioned M the wording on the signs tells the patrons that work should
not be performed in the parking lot. (Applicant responded they would be willing
to add any Code Section numbers to their signs which prohibit working on
automobiles in the parking lot.). Asked ff, as an industry, they have any public
awareness programs to inform the customers that h is unhealthy for them to work
on their vehicles on the parking lot. (Agent explained they have a magazine
which is distributed to every emaloyee quarterly and which is available to the
public In their wafting areas and the winter Issue did talk about waste oil; that they
are very concerned and do recycle and try to make the public aware.)
Boydstun - Suggested a sign next to the rash register warning customers not to
work In the lot. (agent agreed)
STAFF COMMENTS:
Traffic Engineering -proposed truck delivery not practical for this site and needs
to be redesigned
Planning - Concerned about any future development anticipated on the site, retail
pad was shown Uut no information about proposed use is provided, preliminary
calculations indicated they could build approximately 5500 sq. ft. of addkionat
retail area and still meet parking requirements; ff they shift the buliding, might lose
some parking spaces and Commission might want to prohibit any further
development of the she; ail fteestanding signs permitted in the Scenic Corridor are
will mounted shopping center klentfflcatlon signs and can be 20 sq. ft.
Since this is one parcel of land, if there was going to be more than one tenant In
that buliding, a CUP would ba required.
Attorney: Explained a condition could be Imposed making K the applicant's
responsibility that no work is done in the lot and there are Code Enforcement
procedures and a course of action to take iF there are violations, but would not
want a tailored procedure for Irxfivlduai uses. Agreed that Code Enforcement
inspections at the applicant's expense would be acceptable, or that the conditional
use permit could have a time Ilmit so ft would expire and h would be the
Page 9
1-25-93
applicant's responsibtliry to see that the condftions are met.
(Applicant preferred not to have a time Ilmft Imposed on tha permit, but would
agree to quarterly or semi-annual Inspedions.)
Code Enforcement -Experience hes been that automotive uses create problems,
with repair on vehides being done in the parking lot, storage of parts (battery
cores, etc.), and suggested weekly Inspections the first two months after they
open which would give Pep Boys an opportunity to establish a program for
monftorlng the parking lot and H good management practices are Implemented in
the beginning, there should not be a problem. The current fee for inspections is
$53.00 and that fee is effectNe unttl August 17, 1993.
Planning -Advised that revised plans would have to be submitted by Friday of this
week. Also, suggested a line of site drawirva from the office building indicating
angles to the roof-mounted equipment area; meet wfth Traffic Engineering and
redesign truck docks; add some kind of woad treatment on the rear of building
facing the freeway and landscaping to eliminate graffiti.

PETITIONER'S COMMENTS:
Ali Elyaszadeh, 9064 Cdumbine Avenue, Fountain Valley, 92807, agent, was present.
Business has been at this location for maybe 30 years; applicant has owned station
for about 6 yrs. and wishes to retain auto salvage and related repairs, the way k is
now. For past two years, business has been half dosed because they could not get
state license because he has to have an 01.62 letter from the Cky of Anaheim aril
the Cky has not gNen him the OLfi2 letter; and that the Cky dki give that OL62 letter
to the landlord and sub-lessee many times in the past, unt(I two years ago. The
license has been renewed as a recyder and he has that license and he has had the
license renewed as a laxly shop and repair facilky. He stated about fwo months ago
he was arrested on a warrant from the Cky Attorney, handcuffed and taken to Jail for
not having the license. He explained he now has to go to court on that matter of not
having the license. If he has the license he could be making some money and could
Invest k in the business and Improve k more. Has not been dismantling cars, except
Page 12
1-25.93
~~
those which have been left in the yard.
Landlord or ha will do whatever is required, but needs the OL62 letter to prevent him
from going to Jail. The permitted use on this property is truck terminal and related
repairs and he has asked staff ff they really want to see this business gone, he will
bring back the trucking company and related repair In order to survNe, noting he has
7 years lease left. That would mean big rigs going in and out and that is more noise
pollution, more smog and more otl, etc. and that would allow diesel fuel, which they
don't have right now. He asked to be allowed to run this business for two years
COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Henninger - concerned about ernironmental Issues aril contamination of the soil aril
asked staff to continue with that process, regardless of this action. (Planning staff
noted Orange County Health Agency Is lead agency, but Ciry staff will assist and
provide them wfth the soils study report.) Asked ff cars shown in aerial photograph
are Impound ^ars, or H they are being dismantled.
No wrecking yard was ever permitted on this site by the Zoning or by CUP, and the
Ciry was not aware that there Naas a wrecking yard there, and at the previous public
hearing, it was dear that we dkl not believe that was an appropriate location.
(Applicant - OL 62 letter was gNen previously and according to that ft is zoned for
dismantling and he Invested the money Into this business because the Ciry had
previously gNen the license and that OL62 letter). Wanted to see a review of CUP
1052, originally granted in 1968 and conskler modfflcatlon of that permft.) Staff noted
that CUP had final action by the Ciry Council.
Messe -asked to see an OL62 letter. (Staff explained that is a DMV form asking fire
City what the Zoning is on a property and h does not fulflli the Ciry requirements.)
Did not think the Intensffication of usos could be permitted on this property; upon
inspection today, there was flukl coming from one driveway on the Walnut slue there
are dismanting facllfties, etc. aril this is not the right area and he would not be in
favor of granting this CUP.
Suggested denial of this request, and then recommend that the City Council asked
the Planning Commission to review the dd CUP.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Code Enforcement - No business license on file for 521 S. Manchester (Petitioner -
this is one property and address Is adually 520 S. Walnut, no record this property
has been subdNided, one owner/one property; dNkied by a fence that was there
when he purchased property. He opened gate on Manchester and will dose it when
this Issue has been resdved.) No business license for 500 S. Walnut, dismantling
not licensed by state; last Inspedion showed property in worse shape than when
they started, cars were stacked, aerial map taken in 1974 shows storage racks not
there, building not there, etc. cars In photograph do not appear to be dismantled
with engines missing, etc, but the ones on the site now do appear to be dismantled.
Violations are on the while property.
Planning -Contaminated soil was lound in a strip in the center of the property,
probably dust north of this property, but the environmental assessment affects the
whole property and further investigation may reveal more contamination. (Applicant
indicated the contaminated soil Is not on his portion of the site and that he has ben
checked by the Health Department and fire Department and in the six years he has
Page 13
1-25-93
~..,!
.-~ been operating there, there has not been any contamination thsre and he is running
a dean operation.)
Traffic Engineer - Dkl traffic cdlision analysis and it indicated accklents are taking
place because people slow down or stop to make turns into driveway. cdlision
diagram Is within 50 feet of intersection. Recommended dosing the drveway.
Attorney -wasn't sure what matter was before the court on March 2, and certainly
continuances are a possibility but there is nothing she could say to guarantee that
that would happen.
Explained since the final action on the dd CUP was taken by the City Council, they
would have to take the action, and they could refer the matter to an Independent
hearing officer.
ACTION: Denied Negative Dedaretion
Denied waiver of Code Requirement.
Denied CUP request
Recommended CC advise the Planning Commission to review CUP 1052,
originally granted on this property, aril then make recommerxiatlons to
the Cfty Council regarding revocation or modification to that CUP.
