Presentation: Sara Pashalides, Associate Planner The Public Hearing opened at 7:02 p.m. Commissioner Vandaveer abstained due to conflict of interest. Sara Pashalides reported that Sara Barnett requested that her authority as applicant be granted to the tenant, Pacific Auto Parts. Pacific Auto Parts agreed to this; therefore, this action necessitated revisions to Resolution No. 3495. Lisa O'Connor, representing the applicant, indicated that she was present but had nothing to present to the Commission. Commissioner Kozak stated his concern with the bin in the front of the building and with the surety of the safety mechanics in the military vehicles remaining in the vehicles. The Director stated that the Condition could be modified to require that the safety mechanisms be installed and maintained. Planning Commission Minutes January 13, 1997 Page 3 Lisa O'Connor stated that she needs the bin in the front of the building now for quick access to the parts. She stated that it is her intention to have the bin removed just as soon as possible.

SCOTT BEHM, SOUTHERN PACIFIC REAL ESTATE 1200 CORPORATE CENTER DRIVE, SUITE 100 MONTEREY PARK, CA 91754 VACANT PARCEL TO THE NORTH OF 13031 NEWPORT AVENUE AND TO THE WEST OF 12901-12943 NEWPORT AVENUE MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-3) THIS PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT (SECTION 15311, CLASS 11) PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. APPEAL OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S APPROVAL OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT IN A 50' BY 314' PORTION OF AN ABANDONED RAILROAD RIGHT- OF-WAY LOCATED IN THE MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-3) ZONING DISTRICT. Recommendation - That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 3507, upholding the Zoning Administrator's action and denying the appeal of Conditional Use Permit 96-037 and Design Review 96-051. Presentation: Daniel Fox, Senior Planner Sharon Ramage, 12901 Newport Avenue, the appellant, stated that the parking lot was the source of a lot of vandalism before the gates were installed. They have many long term tenants residing in their apartments and she feels that valet service would be disruptive to the tenants. Commissioner Bone asked Ms. Ramage if she realized that the fence would be eight feet in height. Planning Commission Minutes January 13, 1997 Page 4 Sharon Ramaqe stated yes, and she believes the tenants should have the same protections of such a fence as a homeowner. She stated that when the parking lot is paved it would be easy for robbers to drive a truck into this secluded location. Commissioner Vandaveer asked how many apartment windows face the parking lot. Sharon Ramaqe stated that no windows faced the parking lot on the building directly adjacent but there are windows on the corner into which light would penetrate. It was her understanding that the block wall was only on two sides. Daniel Fox, Senior Planner, stated the fence would be on three sides of the property. The carport would serve as the perimeter wall and a fill will provide a least a minimum of 6'- 8" as measured from the outside. If the garages are removed in the future a condition requires that the area be filled in with a 6'- 8" wall. Lynn Burnett, manager of Plaza Properties, LLC, the owner of the Plaza LaFayette shopping center, stated that the opening of the Tustin Brewing Company together with an increase in general sales activity has placed additional demands on the parking and circulation at the shopping center especially at peak hours. He distributed a copy of an aerial photograph to staff and the Commissioners pointing out that both to the east and west of the current site the uses are the same as his proposal. He stated he is in agreement with the conditions as imposed and that the location is very convenient for employee use. He asked the Commission to uphold the Zoning Administrator approval of the use. Commissioner Bone asked how many employees the center had. Lynn Burnett stated the center had approximately 80 employees. The Public Hearing opened at 7:35 p.m. Janet Scott, 12925 E, Newport, stated she formerly lived next to a cafe in another city and moved eight years ago to Woodcrest Apartments because it was a family oriented complex. She has been very happy at Woodcrest Apartments and does not want to move because of the same problems for which she last moved. Stephany Irvin, 12931 E, Newport Avenue, four year resident and Assistant Manager at Woodcrest Apartments, stated she lives closest to the proposed parking lot and is now able to hear loud voices from the shopping center from her window location. She has observed the street sweeper at 11:00 p.m. which creates noise and asked what hours the sweeper was allowed to clean the parking lot. She is concerned about noise and believes the parking lot use would make the situation worse. Maricela Franco, 12935 C., Newport Avenue, a 20 year resident of Woodcrest Apartments, stated she has been happy living in her apartment but now feels it is a scary situation for the residents since the new restaurant sells alcohol. Terry Jones, 12941 D., Newport Avenue, Manager of Woodcrest Apartments since 1987 stated that when she started there were numerous break-ins. After the gates were installed break-in's stopped completely. She has no vacancy's and would like to keep it that way. She believes no one wants to live next to a parking lot. Planning Commission Minutes January 13, 1997 Page 5 Nancy D. Ramaqe, 9720 Savage, Downey, one of the owners of Woodcrest Apartments, stated that because they are located in the county section, the Sheriff is called when there are problems and the Sheriff's Department then refers them to the Tustin Police. She does not believe a proper review of the problems has been represented. She would like the parking restricted to employees only and is concerned with noise and interruption of the lives of 100 families. Doctor G.R. Ramage, 12901 Newport Avenue, member of the owning family of Woodcrest Apartments, stated that the parking lot is a dead end and if the area is opened up it will be an invitation to vandalize by persons simply going over the fence by ladder or by jumping on the vehicles, without ever being seen. He would like to see a gate installed that would be closed and locked every night. His family has owned the property since 1972 and is concerned about the parking lot. The annexation was voted down because the single family residence homeowners did not want their quiet disturbed he believes the tenants of Woodcrest Apartments are entitled to the same consideration. Scott Rehm, representing Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR), stated that his firm is the property owner of the parking lot site and that they have many holdings of property that are of a long and unusable nature. SPRR supports this use and encourages approval. He believes that the additional lighting and eliminating the vacant nature of the property would create a safer environment. SPRR is also a taxpayer and should be allowed the sale of their property. David Knowlton, independent real estate broker, who markets the Southern Pacific Transportation property stated that during the past six years there have been no issues regarding security with the property in its unimproved and unlighted current condition. He has had proposals for this property for a variety of uses but can think of no other use that would be more appropriate for this site than a parking lot. Denise Ildefonso, resident of Woodcrest Apartments, stated she thinks that the tenants are being sold out for 33 parking spots. She believes her whole way of life is threatened and is irritated that this parking lot does not even count toward parking for the center. George Haltman, 14592 Clarissa Lane, appeared in support of the Woodcrest Apartment residents. He stated that following annexation denial, this proposal was introduced without allowing public discussion. He stated that the end of Clarissa Lane, the adjacent property on the northwest corner, measures 3~ feet above grade and not as Exhibit 2.1 states, as measured from finished grade. He believes the 6' high wall does not leave a lot of room to jump up on the carports and feels this is a safety concern both for security and because children could fall from the wall. There is no clear view into the proposed parking lot which he believes is an unacceptable risk for the tenants. The map that was included in regard to the parking structure shows a total of 39 parking spots but comments have been made that there will only be 33. The center has never addressed the feasibility of acquiring use from the complex immediately west of LaFayette Plaza which only requires day time use. He doesn't believe annexation was right for the residents of Clarissa Lane, it was voted down, and he doesn't believe it is right for the tenants of Woodcrest Apartments to bear the zoning variation of 86 parking spots created by the Tustin Brewery. Planning Commission Minutes January 13, 1997 Page 6 Lawrence H. Buxton, 13031 Newport Avenue, #205, designer of the proposed parking lot stated that a concern which stands out most to him is security and this was addressed at the Zoning Administrator hearing. He believes an 8' wall is too high to scale and would provide a sufficient deterrent to crime. He believes that anyone wishing to rob the tenants could walk into the apartments by just using the street. He feels that lighting has been addressed both for security and for shielding the light from the tenant windows. He has discussed the issue of safety with the Police Department and was told by Acting Chief Foster that the increase in access to the area would provide a safer environment than currently exists. Commissioner Vandaveer inquired how many parking spaces were actually being proposed. Lawrence Buxton, stated that the confusion in numbers came about because of a turn-around area at the far end of the parking lot required for Fire Department access and for handicapped spaces. He anticipates 35 spaces but the final survey of the property will determine the actual number. Anqelo Guidice, stated he was a two month owner of Katie McGuires, and that the last two months have been very busy with no security problems. As a former law enforcement officer he believes it would be very difficult for anyone to vandalize or commit a robbery since there is only one way in and one way out of the parking lot. Steve Foster, Acting Police Chief, stated that the lighting and accessibility would be a help to the Tustin Police and with an 8 foot high fence it is not likely to be attractive to robbery or vandalism. Although it is a county area, he guaranteed that if there were problems in the future that the Tustin Police Department would work with the Sheriffs Department to eliminate the problems. Tustin Police officers patrol the complex regularly and at night especially at the rear of the businesses. It is a low call for service area. Commissioner Bone asked that the parking lot sweeping be addressed. was provided by the center. concern expressed about the He also inquired what security The Director stated there should be no parking lot sweeping or use of heavy equipment prior to 7:00 a.m. or later than 10:00 p.m. Lynn Burnett stated that he will make sure that the Noise Ordinance is complied with. Security has been provided in the past on an as needed basis. Following the opening of the Tustin Brewery security was provided for about two months until they determined it was no longer necessary. Security is provided on holiday and peak demand periods. Commissioner Kozak asked if there were any landscaping plans for the area along the setback against the wall, adjacent to the Woodcrest Apartments. He also asked if the area would be posted for "employee parking only" and, with respect to that posting, if there could be some notice given to the tenants advising them of the proper use of the parking area. Lynn Burnett stated landscaping has not been addressed but he would be willing to discuss it. As for the employee parking issue, every lease contains an exhibit which marks employee parking to the rear. Planning Commission Minutes January 13, 1997 Page 7 The Director commented that this is a discretionary action and if the conditions of approval are not adhered to and the property owner does not police their employees, staff has the ability to bring the issue back to the Commission and further restrict the use of the area. This could lead to gating the area if necessary and imposing various hours of operation in which the area could be used or even to revocation of the Conditional Use Permit which would render the property unusable. She stated that subject to approval of the Community Development Department, staff would have the applicant propose minor landscaping with vines in the area described by Commissioner Kozak. The Public Hearing closed at 8:20 p.m. Commissioner Vandaveer moved, Pontious seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3507, upholding the Zoning Administrator's action and denying the appeal of Conditional Use Permit 96-037 and Design Review 96-051 revised as follows: Condition 1.5 shall read, "The applicant shall hold harmless and defend the City of Tustin from all claims and liabilities arising out of a challenge to the City's approval of this project." Condition 2.1 revised to read, "In accordance with Tustin City Code Section 9271(i) related to the required separation between commercial and residential uses, the parking lot expansion area shall be screened from surrounding residential properties and the abandoned railroad right-of-way to the north by a 6'- 8" high solid masonry wall measured from the finish grade on the adjacent residential properties." Condition 3.2 to read, "The use of the parking lot expansion area may be reviewed by the Community Development Director at least on a biannual basis. If in the future the Community Development Director determines that noise, security, and/or other nuisance problems exist on the site or in the vicinity as a result of the establishment of the parking lot expansion area, the Community Development Director may require the applicant to provide additional mitigation measures to be reviewed and approved by the Zoning Administrator or Planning Commission. Said mitigation may include, but are not limited to, the following: a. Establish hours of use, b. Secure parking lot expansion area from adjacent parking area, and c., Retain an on- site security guard. Failure to satisfy the above condition could be grounds for the Zoning Administrator or Planning Commission to reconsider Conditional Use Permit 96-037 and Design Review 96-051 which may result in revocation." Condition 3.5 to read, "The use of the parking lot expansion area shall be limited to employee parking only. Customer parking shall be prohibited, except in conjunction with a special event or under special circumstances as approved by the Community Development Director." Condition 3.6 shall read, "Prior to the final inspection for any building permit, "~ployee Parking Only" signs shall be posted at the entrance to the parking lot expansion area, with sign details and locations to be approved by the Community Development Department." Last sentence added to Condition 2.2 to read, "Landscape plans for the parking area shall be approved by the Director of the Community Development Department." Motion carried 5-0. 5.

Recommendation - That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 3508 approving Conditional Use Permit 96-020 and Design Review 96- 031. Presentation: Sara Pashalides, Associate Planner The Public Hearing opened at 8:20 p.m. Commissioner Vandaveer asked how many parking spaces would be available on this property; how many were for employees and how many for customers. Sara Pashalides stated there were six parking spaces based on the square footage of the use as required by City Code. Barry Hammond, General Manager with Service Stations Services, representing Shell Oil Company, stated there would be from one to two employees maximum on site and that most patrons make their purchases while at the pumps. Commissioner Kozak commended the proposal to improve this property and asked if landscaping could be enhanced in the front of the property. He stated that the entrances to the property were very close to the intersection and suggested that "no left turn" signs be posted from the two driveways facing Red Hill and the one on E1 Camino Real, closest to the intersection. Barry Hammond stated they have increased the landscaping in the front but it is a narrow site and there is concern for delivery tankers maneuverability. Douq Anderson, Traffic Engineer, stated he would have to re-review the area, but tends to believe there is not sufficient space to stripe a double-double yellow line which would make a left turn illegal. Signing would be sufficient at those locations indicated by Commissioner Kozak. Barry Hammond stated that although he initially does not see a problem, he requested that discussion be held with the Traffic Engineer before a condition were imposed specifically prohibiting a no left turn. He would be willing to work with staff if it was found there were problems or accidents at that site and signs were needed, but he would like to leave it open so that this issue does not have to come back to the Commission later on. Commissioner Kozak stated he would determination by the Traffic Engineer. accept a review and The Public Hearing closed at 8:35 p.m. Co ...... issioner Pontious moved, Vandaveer seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3508 approving Conditional Use Permit 96-020 and Design Review 96-031 revised as follows: "Add Condition 6.4 to read, "If deemed necessary, on site, no left turn traffic signs shall be submitted for review approval and/or installation subject to the approval of the City Traffic Engineer."

Binsack, Community Development Director The Director reported on the subject agenda. Commissioner Pontious asked that the Commission receive revisions to the proposed Code Amendment regarding modifications to projects after they have been deemed approved by the City which is to be agendized by the City Council in the future. COMMISSION CONCERNS: Commissioner Pontious - Commissioner Mitzman None Inquired if the area around the Tustin Commerce Center Building could be enhanced by trees and landscaping. There is a landscape gap in the area. Staff will look into the issue and report back to the Commission. Planning Commission Minutes January 13, 1997 Page 10 Commissioner Kozak Asked if the status of the landscaping at the 55/5 Freeway Interchange improvement area could also be included in the same report concerning the area just mentioned by Commissioner Mitzman. Reported that the northbound exit to Jamboree at the site of the new advertising sign construction for the expanded area of the marketplace have lights that are blinding to motorists at night. Staff will report back on this situation. Provided a Government Finance Review article to staff and the Commission entitled, "When and When Not to Use Incentives to Attract Business or to Retain Existing Business." Commissioner Vandaveer Expressed concern about the way gas station closings have left the vacated properties full of trash and wishes to see this situation monitored. He also asked when the gasoline tanks could be removed following a station closing. The Director stated that the County Health Care Agency has certain time frames for individual stations. She will contact the Health Care Agency to find out the overall schedule of service station cleanups. Commissioner Bone Stated that the contract for the landscaping of the 5/55 Freeway Interchange area has been signed by Caltrans and the OCTA. The area included starts at Edinger and will extend to the 22 Freeway. Reported that Tustin Pride gave out 84 Lollypop signs in recognition of decorative holiday lighting throughout the City. Stated that the new bus benches in the City are collecting trash and graffiti. He inquired if reporting of this type of graffiti should be done through the graffiti hot line. He is concerned about the lack of protection afforded to people from the rain in these open style bus shelters. The Director stated that it was best to report this type of graffiti directly to public services. At the suggestion of the Commissioner, staff will include information on reporting graffiti on bus shelters for publication in Tustin Today. The Director pointed out that the contract for the design of the shelters has already gone out and she was not sure it could be modified, but that she will look into the issue. Reported that during the past few weeks he has observed landscapers pushing debris down the drains with their blowers. He has talked with Field Services and they have asked to be notified immediately if this is seen, due to this practice clogging the drains.
