Location: 333 E1Camlno Real Presentation: Laura Pickup, Assistant Planner RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE USE PERMIT NO. 86-34 BY THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2377 RESOLUTION NO. 2377. A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, AUTHORIZING A 6,857 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION OF A BUILDING LOCATED IN THE PLANNED COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL AT 17240 E. 17TH STREET Laura Pickup recommended a change in Resolution 2377, Section II.7. at the end of the sentence add, ". . pursuant to the approved landscaping plans". In discussion of the Resolution, Commissioner Well requested clarification on soil testing, wanted to allow woodchips in planters due to soil improvement potential, expressed concern with contractor guaranteeing plant materials beyond 90 days, and staff requiring additional plant materials after approval of plans. She wants to be up front with applicants and eliminate complaints about added expenses after project approval. Planning Commission Minutes December 8, 1986 page two Laura Pickup responded the guarantee of plant materials for 90 days is to ensure consistency with the approved landscape plan; larger plants may sustain themselves for 90 days. Staff needs a tool to replace plant materials. If upon field inspection the soil is found to be inadequate for approved plans, another specimen could be added. Soils testing is normally required when introducing new plant materials and guarantees the plants health. Commissioner LeJeune clarified that Great Western may lease a portion of the upstairs to another tenant. Chairman Puckett opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. Bob Savage, applicant, agreed with staff's recommendation and the conditions of approval in the resolution. He would prefer not to leave the plant materials open to staff's discretion after Commission approval, but will accept it if the Commission wishes. He confirmed Great Western has committed to the entire downstairs but the upstairs hasn't been decided yet. Seeing no one further wishing to speak, Chairman Puckett closed the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. During Commission discussion, Commissioner LeJeune clarified signage, Commissioner Baker expressed pleasure with quality of project especially at a City entrance and Commissioner Well requested correction of typo in Resolution II.F.3 to "soil". Further Commission discussion ensued concerning Item II.F.7. The Commission's concerns were if there had been problems in the past with inadequate landscaping and irrigation; in East Tustin a full time staff member would need to be hired just to check to see if all the plants are alive. Christine Shingleton explained this is a standard landscaping condition. The final approval is relative to the field inspection at the time the project is completed. Generally it is not uncommon to find planting materials inadequate at the point of inspection. As long as the corrections are made as requested and pursuant to the approved plan it is a condition that is meant to assist. She further clarified that the field inspection is conducted prior to issuing a Certificate of Occupancy. Bob Savage clarified the owner of the property is W.O.M.A. Enderle Trust II Of Tucson Arizona. Moved by Commissioner Wetl, seconded by Baker to approve Use Permit 86-34 by the adoption of Resolution No. 2377 with {2) two amendments. 1.) Delete from condition II. F.6 the reference to woodchips. 2.) Add the following to condition II.F.7. "...pursuant to the approved landscape plan." Motion carried 5-0.
