Jessica Nixon, Assistant Planner, introduced Item No. 1.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Mark Gordon, Deputy City Attorney, stated he has a conflict of interest in the project in that he has served

Catherine Lewis, Commercial Family Limited Partnership, P.O. Box 1266, Anaheim, CA, asked if anyone
could offer any comments that she should be concerned about on the project.
Mr. Sell stated because a request to continue the project had been presented it prohibited the disclosure
of any information on the project.
No one else wished to speak and no opposition was received regarding this item.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. Sell concurred with staff and continued the hearing until the September 28, 2006, Zoning Administrator

William Sell, Acting Zoning Administrator, opened the public hearing.
David See, Senior Planner, introduced Item No. 2 and stated access for Kemp Street is an issue that has
come up in previous hearings, and recognizing that this is a Phase 2 development that does not abut
Kemp Street, staff recommends a new condition that the driveways be closed off at the south end of
Phase 2 with fencing or barriers, etc.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
Applicant's Testimony:
Brian K. Malliet, 3185 Pullman Avenue, Costa Mesa, CA, concurred with the staff report dated September
14, 2006, and therefore had no comments.
Mr. Sell stated he visited the subject property and observed the aesthetic appearance of Phase 1
therefore, he wondered if Phase 2 would be similar.
Mr. Malliet responded Phase 2 would be identical.

Mr. Sell stated as the phases continued they were getting closer to a mixture of residential and industrial
use in close proximity to each other, so he asked that they be sensitive to the residential element,
particularly in regards to construction hours and dust control, etc. He referred to staff and asked that they
establish construction hours or dust control, etc. associated with the project.
Sandip Budhia, Associate Engineer, stated the Public Works and Transportation Department ask that the
construction area and trucks used in construction frequently follow the water down policy during work
hours.
Mr. Malliet stated he has been made aware of the City's policy and regulations during construction
phases, therefore they have trucks on site approximately 10 times a day to water down dust and also City
employees come out and check to see if the policy is being followed many times a day or just being
responsive to anything that might come up.
Mr. Sell asked if they are still following the standard procedure for hours of construction.
Mr. Malliet responded yes, work hours are from 7:00 to 3:30 p.m.
Mr. Sell wished to be assured that construction for this particular phase was coming off of Patt Street.
Mr. Malliet responded the only construction issue coming up with Kemp Street is that they have a
construction office which the contractors work out of and therefore their cars are driven in and out of the
work area. Also, there is a fence gated in that work area and a fence gated at the end. However, the
fence gated at the end is never used. The other fence is used for the ingress and egress of water trucks
to the water tank. Additionally, at one point they had soil issues so for about a week they had trucks
coming in one side and going out the other side to haul the soils to an off site location.
Mr. Sell reiterated that it is really a sensitive issue to the neighborhood.
Mr. Malliet responded they are in regular contact with a very concerned citizen and have his name and
number upon their board. Also, the citizen visits the site and talks with their two superintendents and they
have exchanged cell phone numbers so that if any issue comes up they have developed such a
relationship.
Dave See stated Condition No. 1 of Tentative Parcel Map No. 2006-290 indicates Parcel 1 on the fourth
line, and it should be changed to Parcel 2.
No one else wished to speak and no opposition was received regarding this item.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. Sell concurred with staffs recommendations and approved CEQA Negative Declaration, Variance No.
2006-04684, and Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-290. He stated the decision would be written and
signed no later than 7 days from the date of the meeting. The decision for Variance No. 2006-04684
would be final after the appeal period expires 15 days following the date of the written decision and, the
decision for Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-290 would be final after the appeal period expires 10 days
following the date of the decision.
At today's meeting, a new condition was added to Variance No. 2006-04684 as follows:
4. (Added at the public hearing] That a vehicular barrier shall be provided at the terminus of
each driveway abutting the south property line of the subject property, thereby eliminating
direct vehicular access to Kemp Street.
