Commissioner Baker asked if there were new references to the EIR regarding the cactus wren; and if the extension was adequate. Staff replied that since the area is within the hillside district, not within the NTCP program area but with potential coastal sage scrub, a construction permit could not be issued until clearance is received from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services; and affirmed that the extension is adequate. Commissioner Stracker asked why streets B and J were specifically listed in the conditions as 20 mph; and assumed that adequate signage would be posted. Staff replied that the City's private street standards require 25 mph; that the street standards could be modified to require less grading impact resulting in a safe circulation system; and that standard conditions require proper striping.

Commissioner Kasalek asked if the tables and chairs that are being requested are presently in place; and if there was a parking problem and if it was resolved. The Director replied that the tables and chairs were once out and are the ones proposed; that a variance was granted with a require- ment that Nieuport 17 provide a valet service which is now in place, and a restrictive time structure; and that there have been very few complaints since the mechanisms were put in place. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:25 p.m. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:26 p.m. Commissioner Butler asked if what they were looking at was what staff would like for guidelines for patio seating. Staff responded that the guidelines were already adopted, and that the applicant was in compliance with the standards. Planning Commission Minutes July 26, 1993 Page 4 Commissioner Butler asked about a location that was required to put tables away at night; and that he was concerned that someone might like to sleep overnight, depending how comfortable the area was. Staff replied that it was a different situation in a common area and that this is occupied by only one tenant; that the Police Department had no concerns and that it was not accessible. The Director stated that this area was not completely accessible; that the area cannot be accessed except through the building. Commissioner Baker moved, Butler seconded to approve Conditional Use Permit 92-015 by adopting Resolution No. 3158, as submitted. Motion carried 5-0. 4.

Approve Conditional Use Permit 93-019 by adopting Resolution No. 3154, as submitted or revised. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:30 p.m. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:31 p.m. Commissioner Butler asked if there was a requirement that the owners cannot sell off the separate piece of property. The Director stated that the CC&R's would be modified to incorporate the parking spaces as part of the original project. Commissioner Butler asked if the area would have to be kept as two separate parcels or could the Planning Commission require a merger. Planning Commission Minutes July 26, 1993 Page 5 The Director replied that it can be two parcels or combined as one with a minor lot merger; that because it was a zone change and there is a CUP that runs with the land, both pieces of property have conditions that require the diagrammatic of the CC&R's modifications as adequate protection, as long as the land is held by the condominium association; and that the conditions of the CC&R's require that the parking be tied to this development. Commissioner Weil asked why the City is requesting that the ivy be replaced with another ground cover from the City's list. The Director replied that that type of ivy has a slow growth and is easily trampled on; and that there are heartier and less expensive varieties to choose from. Commissioner Kasalek commented that she was glad to see the requirement for the graffiti-proof walls. Commissioner Butler moved, Stracker seconded to recommend to the City Council approval of Zone Change 93-003 by adopting Resolution No. 3160, as submitted. Motion carried 5-0.

BOX 2074 TUSTIN, CA 92681-2074 MORTON INTERNATIONAL INC 110 N. WACKER DRIVE CHICAGO, IL 60606 2631 MICHELLE DRIVE PLANNED COMMUNITY INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT (PC-IND) A NEGATIVE DECLARATION HAS BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. TO AUTHORIZE THE EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT FACILITIES AT THE EXISTING FACILITY AT 2631 MICHELLE DRIVE, INVOLVING THE OPERATION OF A SYSTEM CALLED THE ADVANTAGE 2000 TREATMENT SYSTEM WHICH TREATS AQUEOUS WASTE PRODUCED ON SITE. Recommendation - It is recommended that the Planning Commission: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 3156, certifying the Final Negative Declaration as adequate for the project; and 2. Adopt Resolution No. 3157, approving Conditional Use Permit 93-020, subject to conditions contained in Exhibit A, as submitted or revised. Commissioner Weil asked what chemicals were used for cleaning. Staff replied that sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate were used to treat the circuit boards; that the waste water is the hazardous waste; and that the metals involved are extracted out. Commissioner Weil commented that arsenic used to be used; that the only chemicals discussed are those being used to operate the machinery; and asked which chemicals are actually being used. Planning Commission Minutes July 26, 1993 Page 6 The Public Hearing was opened at 7:42 p.m. Mr. J. R. Kiehl, Morton Electronic Materials representative, stated that the waste streams generated from their laboratories that are treated in the Advantage 2000 system are aqueous; that the developer is 97-98% water and 2-3% sodium carbonate and some solids; that the stripper solution is 2-3% sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; the residual metals are primarily copper from stripper solutions; that the waste streams consist of 75-80% developer and 20-25% strippers. Commissioner Weil asked what chemicals are used in the initial process. Mr. Kiehl stated that the developer solution is 97-98% water with sodium carbonate; that the copper boards are run through the solution, with the alkaline creating an image; that the solids in the solution are mainly plastic. Commissioner Weil asked if this is the only process done at this location. Mr. Kiehl affirmed as far as the Advantage 2000 System used; and that there are some other acids and bases generated in a much smaller quantity. Commissioner Baker asked if they now have to take the effluent off- site. Commissioner Butler asked if any harm would be done if the waste was not treated. Mr. Kiehl replied that the solution is pretty dilute; and that this is their way of reducing the handling of the waste stream. Commissioner Baker asked what is done with the remainder of the stream that is not poured down the drain. Mr. Kiehl replied that the residual material is treated off-site at a hazardous waste site. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:47 p.m. Commissioner Weil commented that there is some history with this company under the name of Dynachem; that the report indicated that the staff requested a tour; that with Dynachem's history, she would feel more comfortable with the Planning Commission having a tour of the facility; that the Public Hearing in May alerted people, but not in a legal manner; and that she would like to continue the matter for two weeks. Commissioner Kasalek stated that she had some of the same concerns as Commissioner Weil due to the noticing problems; that due to the history at this location, she wants to know that the people who live in the area had a chance to listen. Commissioner Baker asked if this meeting was properly noticed. The Director affirmed and stated that they received a report from the State. Planning Commission Minutes July 26, 1993 Page 7 The Assistant Director commented that she asked for a meeting with the Fire Department, Hazardous Waste Agency, Morton Electronics, and the Department of Toxic Substances and an on-site field inspection; reviewed the process of mailing and notification of residents, businesses, City Council Members, other city mayors and shops and the Marketplace; that she contacted the State representative stating that homeowners association presidents should be notified, then she also notified them, personally. Commissioner Kasalek asked if the school district was notified. The Assistant Director affirmed. Commissioner Weil stated that it was senseless to notify only half of an association, and only three days prior to the meeting; that the report indicates that the people had no interest, due to lack of community presence at the meeting; that one-half mile is generous since the requirement is only for 300 feet; that she is raising a red flag due to the history of the company; and that she feels they need to give the community another opportunity with a two week continuance. The Director commented that it is a State issued permit, unless denied by the Planning Commission. Commissioner Weil stated that she would have appreciated being on the notification list; that she does not understand the process and would feel more comfortable with a two week continuation and a tour. Commissioner Kasalek commented that it seemed as though staff notified everyone in good faith. Commissioner Weil stated that she would like to continue the matter, but did not expect to receive a quorum. Commissioner Butler stated that he did not feel that the meeting should be continued since it was well noticed and there was no one opposing at this meeting. The Director stated that the State was remiss in processing without having the City become involved until the last minute; and that the equipment is in place but not operating. The Public Hearing was re-opened at 8:04 p.m. Mr. Stephen Raab, Morton Electronic Environmental Laboratory, stated that the company went through a merger in the 1980's; that the process causing odors was moved out of state in 1981/82; that this location has approximately 20 production, 100 reasearch and 100 administrative people; that the waste being treated mimics their customers'; that they became involved in the State process when they renewed their permit; that the company became more sophisticated through the 1980's; and that when they were going through the State process, they followed the letter of the law. Commissioner Weil stated that they have had people in the community making printed circuit boards with the old process using arsenic; and that she wanted to make sure the Planning Commissioners understood the process. Planning Commission Minutes July 26, 1993 Page 8 Mr. Raab replied that the printed circuit board manufacturing process has changed; that 10-15 years ago, solvents were used; they now move toward low concentration solvents of sodium carbonate which is similar to baking soda in place of solvents; he continued with explaining their process; that the chemicals cuperchloride and ammonia are recycled back to the vendor; that the stripper is a very low concentration of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide; that there is no arsenic used on site; and the primary metal is copper. Commissioner Baker asked about the Sanitation District inspections that were required. Mr. Kiehl replied that the Sanitation District inspects quarterly, unannounced, for metals in waste stream; and that the analysis shows no violations. The Public Hearing was closed at 8:15 p.m. Commissioner Butler asked if the State presented any concerns. The Director replied negatively. Commissioner Weil stated that she had a much greater comfort level since the additional explanation. Commissioner Baker moved, Butler seconded to adopt Resolution No. 3156, certifying the Final Negative Declaration as adequate for the project. Motion carried 5-0. Commissioner Baker moved, Stracker seconded to adopt Resolution No. 3157, approving Conditional Use Permit 93-020, subject to con- ditions contained in Exhibit A, as submitted.

The Public Hearing was opened at 8:24 p.m. Mr. William Moorhous, California Pacific Homes, stated that they were in agreement with staff's recommendations; that the applica- tion was processed by staff very expediently and thanked staff for their cooperation. Commissioner Butler stated that the garage detail will give some dimension to the project. Commissioner Stracker asked why they used cross gutters and not an extension of the sewer system to the rear of the tract. Mr. Danh Conq Ho, California Pacific Homes, stated that they used the cross gutter for flood control assuming that the storm drain will not function during a heavy storm and that the majority of the water will come from the back of the tract; that the street would have had to be 10 foot drop graded in order for no cross gutter at that location. Commissioner Stracker asked if the storm drain is designed for a lesser frequency storm. Mr. Conq Ho replied that Jamboree is only designed for a 10 year storm. Staff commented that there is presently a storm drain with catch basins within the site. Mr. Moorhous commented that the on-site storm drain is designed for a 25 year storm; that the City required them to design for a greater storm than their own street standards; and that to eliminate the cross gutters, they would have to upgrade the sewers along Jamboree to a 100 year storm. The Director suggested a report be provided from Public Works regarding the flood plane. The Public Hearing closed at 8:36 p.m. Commissioner Butler asked if the Fire Department approved of the cul-de-sac. Staff affirmed. Commissioner Butler asked if the company should find problems selling due to the facility not being in place, could the staff grant a change without coming back to the Commission; that this was well within the density guidelines and much superior to having carports or tight condominiums; and asked if there was any requirement for "Not a through street" signage on B Street. The Director suggested that signage be enforced by the association; that the Commission has the ability to impose conditions, but did not recommend putting the City into an enforcement position on private streets. Commissioner Weil stated that it was an improvement from the original project with better circulation.
