Presentation: Becky Stone, Assistant Planner
Staff made revisions to Resolution No. 3011, as moved.
Commissioner Le Jeune asked why the applicant required a 9 foot 6
inch fence; that the landscaping required would leave spaces for
graffiti; and if the construction had begun.
Staff replied that the Police Department believes that anything
over 8 feet will be an enhancement to security and it may reduce
noise and pollution; that the vines between the shrubs should
alleviate graffiti problems; and that the permits have been issued
for a 6 foot 8 inch wall.
Commissioner Weil asked if the footings for a 6 foot 8 inch wall
would be sufficient for a 9 foot 6 inch wall; and if it is
reinforced.
Staff replied that it must meet the structural requirements of the
Building Code; and that it is reinforced.
Commissioner Kasparian stated that he was concerned
visibility; and the structural soundness for wind loading.
about
Staff replied that there are no units facing the wall; and that the
Uniform Building Code would require wind load factor calculations.
Commissioner Kasparian was concerned about the wall surrounding the
door.
Staff replied that the glass door would be replaced and a wooden
piece would be installed over the door to meet the height of the
surrounding walls; and that it would be painted to match the
concrete block wall.
The Director stated that modified language would be provided to
require that the structural details regarding attachment to any
door installation be submitted subject to approval of the Plan
Check Engineer.
Commissioner Le Jeune asked if a 9 foot 6 inch block wall had been
approved anywhere in the City.
Staff replied that an 8 foot wall was approved at the adjacent
apartments, but that there had been no approvals for a 9 foot G
inch wall in the City, to her knowledge.

The Public Hearing was opened at 7:18 p.m.
Doris Maxwell, owner of the property and part owner of Blue Buoy
Swim School, stated that since their parking lot has been raised by
Caltrans, the height of the wall from the parking lot is only 8
foot 4 inches, and is 9 foot 6 inches from the pool deck; that it
looks small in comparison to the Caltrans wall. She continued with
requesting limiting the width of the planters since 3 feet wide
would infringe on their parking area.
The Director responded that the vines need a minimum 3 foot planter
and that the site plan indicates that 3 feet would be available;
and that staff would work with the applicant regarding the
available land.
Commissioner Weil suggested changing the wording to indicate
"approximately" 3 feet.
The Director affirmed.
Ms. Maxwell requested that they not be required to install the
curbing along the landscaping since they already have parking
bumpers.
The Director replied that the wheel stops could be removed if the
curbing is installed; that the curbing is required for retaining
moisture in the planters which undermines and deteriorates asphalt;
and that it is pursuant to a standard applied to all properties on
commercial sites.
Ms. Maxwell asked if having their irrigation controls inside the
fencing would be considered a "lockable housing."
The Director affirmed.
Commissioner Baker stated that the rear wall seemed to be about 6
to 6 feet 8 inches; how tall the building was; and about the
lighting for the parking lot.
Ms. Maxwell stated that the carports are higher as is the office
building.
John Johnson, representing Blue Buoy Swim School, stated that part
of the wall will drop down and meet the height of the building;
that the wooden fence is 8 feet; that the sidewalk from the parking
lot is not built up and will match the building; and that they are
replacing the lighting for the parking lot.
Commissioner Kasparian asked if there had been any vandalism or
people jumping over at the rear of the facility.
Mr. Johnson replied that the wall at the rear belongs to the
apartments and that they would like to raise it; and that they do
have problems with people jumping over.
Commissioner Baker asked if the height of all of the walls was 8
feet.
Mr. Johnson affirmed; noted that they would be fashioning the wall
like those in Tustin Ranch with a red cap and bougainvillea; and
would be planting bougainvillea along the back, also.
The Public Hearing was closed at 7:32 p.m.
Planning Commission Minutes

Commissioner Le Jeune stated that he was concerned about setting a
precedent by approving a fence exceeding 8 feet; and suggested
removing one (1) level of cinder block.
Staff noted that removing one (1) level of $ inch block would bring
the height below 8 feet.
Commissioner Kasalek felt that the reason for the height was
justifiable, as seen from the street.
Commissioner Kasparian asked if they were approving the application
based on the drawings done by a structural engineer; and noted that
many of the walls with caps have loose pieces, which should be
considered by the engineers; and that if it was approved for
safety, he would approve of it.
Staff replied that they would be approving the height variance,
which would be reviewed at plan check for structural requirements;
and that loose cap pieces are due to moisture problems.
Commissioner Weil noted that Tustin Meadows and Laurelwood pools
were being vandalized; was in favor of the Resolution.
Commissioner Baker noted that he was in favor of the wall as long
as it was not 9 foot 6 inches from the street.
The Director made revisions to the Resolution, as moved.
Commissioner Baker asked the cost of a bond.
The Director replied that staff would accept the applicant's
information on the cost of installation of landscaping, which would
be refunded upon completion of the landscaping.
Commissioner Weil asked if it was normal to require a bond.
The Director replied that the original building permit did not
require any landscaping, and they would have no ability to impose
a condition on that permit; and that they are identifying the
landscaping as a mitigation measure for the additional height.
Commissioner Kasparian asked when the lighting was required.
The Director replied that the Security Ordinance requires that the
parking lot be lit to one-foot-candle on a 24-hour basis; that the
existing wiring with bulb lights were adequate and that a similar
system could be installed.
Commissioner Baker asked the applicant if she understood the
changes.
Ms. Maxwell affirmed.
Commissioner Kasparian moved, Le Jeune seconded to approve Variance
91-20 and Conditional Use Permit 91-31 by adoption of Resolution
No. 3011, revised as follows:

and that 70 dBa was standard for commercial centers.
Commissioner Weil asked if no more than 50 people were allowed at
one time; if they would be having matches; and that she was
concerned about having only 16 parking spaces.

regarding the number of people that the square footage would allow;
and that there is ample parking in the center.

sections near the business or based on the whole Market Place.
Planning Commission Minutes
March 9, 1992
Page 7
Staff replied that the summary breaks down and separates the
Village, but includes the whole Market Place; and that the
customers could use the parking in the north area around the
clothes retail section.
Commissioner Le Jeune asked about the 'no loitering' sign.
Staff replied that they are concerned that loitering children would
cause a problem with traffic flow; that they want to be sensitive
to other retail uses.
The Public Hearing was opened at 7:55 p.m.
Paulette Alexander introduced herself as a representative of
Donahue Schriber.
Commissioner Weil asked if matches would be held; and noted that
she was concerned about the parking.
Michael Boldinq, Karate Masters, U.S.A., stated that there would be
no matches at this location; that tournaments would be held at
hotels, or gymnasiums.
Commissioner Baker noted that the small class sizes would require
less than 20 cars to park at one time; but he was concerned with
children being dropped off and running across the parking lot.
Mr. Boldinq replied that they encourage parents to stay during the
lessons; but if they are dropped off, they try to teach the
children not to run out, and to exercise self-discipline; and that
the children must wait in the lobby area until parent arrives.
Ms. Alexander suggested use of the loading area by the theaters,
and to encourage use of the cross walk and loading area.
The Public Hearing was closed at 8:02 p.m.
Commissioner Weil stated that it was a good use for the area.
Commissioner Kasparian stated that they could not mandate the
safety of the children to others, that it was not necessarily the
job of the applicant; that he was more concerned about dropping
them off at the theater area; and that he liked the 'no loitering'
sign.
Commissioner Le Jeune asked if the parking spaces noting a 15
minute parking area were enforced by the City or the property
owner.
The Director responded that the property owner was responsible.
Commissioner Kasalek stated that parking is a problem, but the use
is good.
Commissioner Baker stated that as professionals, this applicant
should have loitering problems under control.

Staff added additional language to Resolution No. 3012, as moved.
Commissioner Kasalek asked if there was a problem with the layout
of the land that Caltrans was providing as a replacement for the
land that was acquired.
Staff affirmed, and noted that the carports being taken were only
8 feet wide.
Commissioner Weil asked if the applicant was requesting garages to

Staff changed I.C of Resolution No. 3012 to 15491 Pasadena Avenue,
as moved.
The Public Hearing was opened at 8:11 p.m.
Gerald Minich, architect for the project, stated that Caltrans has
already acquired and demolished 15 carports; that they have been
without 12 carports for approximately 3-4 years; suggested they be
replaced with 13 compact garages at $ feet 8 inches wide.
Planning Commission Minutes
March 9, 1992
Page 9
Commissioner Kasparian asked if the tenants would have to walk a
distance if they have a compact car.
Mr. Minich stated that he nor the owner had a problem with tenants
having to walk.
The Director stated that the width is the same, but the length is
reduced when allocating for compact cars.
Commissioner Baker asked how long the space is between the new
garages and the old carports; and noted that upon inspection, he
found 12 cars parked in the fire lane, with many open stalls
available.
Mr. Minich replied that it was 29 feet 10 inches; that the cars are
parked in the fire lane due to the spaces being eliminated.
Commissioner Kasalek asked about the temporary parking that
Caltrans was providing.
Mr. Minich replied that the temporary parking area would be
available after the agreement is approved.
Commissioner Weil stated that she preferred carports; that the size
of the garages were limiting; and that she was concerned that
people would use the garages for storage and park on the street.
Commissioner Kasparian asked why more spaces have not been moved
towards the exit; and asked if any residents were present.
Mr. Minich replied that the area was landscaped; and that no
residents were present.
The Director responded that that area was the front yard setback.
Bill Bangert, manager of Las Casas Apartments, stated that the
vehicles in the fire lane were there due to not having an assigned
space; that they are not policing the area; that Caltrans did not
leave an adequate fire lane in the rear; that they were not
notified that Caltrans was intending to take part of their land;
and that he has reported the problems to the Fire Department.
Rick Roshan, property supervisor of Las Casas Apartments, stated
that the rental agreements do not allow tenants to store items in
the carports or garages, except in the enclosed cabinets.
The Public Hearing was closed at 8:23 p.m.
Commissioner Le Jeune stated that he was not in favor of compact
parking spaces; and that he agreed with staff recommendation.
Commissioner Kasalek agrees with staff if it is a closed garage, or
13 open carports.
Commissioner Kasparian agreed and asked if there would be enough
spaces for all tenants.
The Applicant affirmed.
Commissioner Weil agreed with a 3-sided carport; that people share
the space between car stalls; that locked storage could be
provided; but was not in favor of project as submitted; and would
reluctantly agree with staff recommendations.
Planning Commission Minutes
March 9, 1992
Page 10
The Director stated that the Police Department reviewed the project
as part of the Community Improvement Partnership Program and were
concerned about open carports; should not be acted upon without
Police Department comment and the building official; and would need
to be delayed 2 weeks.
Commissioner Baker asked for a consensus regarding carports.
Commissioners Weil, Kasalek, KasDarian, and Le Jeune were
interested in the carport option with further information provided.
Commissioner Baker asked the applicant if the condition should be
continued.
Mr. Minich replied that they would rather decide this evening and
accept 12 garages.
The Public Hearing was reopened at 8:32 p.m.
Mansour Roshan, owner of the property, stated that Caltrans took
the spaces without notification and permit from the City; that
parking is a problem along Pasadena Avenue; that one extra space
means a lot to the tenants; that he would rather have 13 open
spaces than wait for 12.
The Director replied that the Commission had the authority to act
this evening, but that staff would not support the action without
adequate information from the Police Department.
Commissioner Kasalek asked if the City had authority to request
Caltrans provide the temporary parking as soon as possible.
The Director replied that there is an ongoing coordination problem
with Caltrans; that they ignored the City's request to comply with
the current parking requirements and not to create any non-
conformities that did not exist prior to the freeway taking; that
the City has been the last to know about interaction problems with
property owners; that 18 months ago the City sent letters to all
property owners along the freeway that there was likely to be
takings and that property owners should contact the City; that the
City is doing its best to clean up Caltrans problems.
Commissioner Kasparian asked if the Police Department's interest is
the same as the owners'; that this is a difficult time for the
owners.
The Director replied that the Police Department looks at it from
the perspective of what it costs to provide service to the area;
that 60-70% of the police resources are concentrated in this area;
and are looking at issues that might create problems for them.
Commissioner Baker asked the owner if he wanted to continue the
item to allow the Police Department an opportunity to review.
Mr. Roshan replied that he has suffered enough over the past three
years; and that he would accept 12 garages or 13 carports.
The Public Hearing was closed at 8:39 p.m.
Commissioner Weil stated that

Commissioner Kasparian was empathetic to the owner's problems; that
it should be continued for Police Department review, but since the
decision must be made this evening, he voted for 12 garages.
Commissioner Kasalek opted for staff recommendation.
Commissioner Le Jeune asked how wide the carports would be on
center; and opted for 13 carports this evening.
The Director replied that if there was an area separation wall, the
size and location of structural poles would have to be evaluated.
Commissioner Baker opted for staff recommendation.
Commissioner Kasalek moved, Kasparian seconded to approve Variance
92-001 by adopting Resolution No. 3012, revised as follows:
Page 1, Item C: change 1702 Nisson Road to "15491 Pasadena Avenue"

Motion carried 5-0.
OLD BUSINESS:
6. Left Turn Arrows
Commissioner Kasalek asked for a clarification of increase vs
decrease of pollution while idling; why so many other cities are
changing their signal systems if more accidents occur.
The Director replied that removal does improve traffic flow, but
increases the risk of accidents.
Commissioner Baker commented that there was a left arrow at
Farmington, but not one at Main and Newport.
The Director replied that they may be installed upon request.
