The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Mayor Saltarelli. The Invocation was given by Councilman Welsh. ROLL CALL Present: Councilmen: Saltarelli, Sharp, Welsh, Woodruff. Absent: Councilmen: Langley. Others Present: Assistant City Administrator-Community Development Director: R. Kenneth Fleagle City Attorney: (Acting) Tully It. Seymour Planning Agency Recording Secretary: Mary Ann Chamberlain Planning Agency R~cording Secretary: Phaye B. Taylor City Administrator: Harry Gill PUBLIC HEARING 1. Consideration of City of Tustin Sign Code from 1/14 and 1/21/74) (Continued Mr. Fleagle made a presentation advising Council of three alternatives in the Sign Code Report giving the following description: Alternative "A" was the draft code presented by the "Ad Hoc" Committee, Alternative "B" was suggested by Mr. Raymond Kemp at the previous public hearing, amending Article VI, Alternative "C" was a Staff amendment related to Articles VI and VIII. Mayor Saltarelli questioned if it would be necessary before any ordinance is introduced to readvertise before Council or if Council acting as the Planning Agency, will these public hearings suffice; if it has not been advertised as a public hearing of the Council, does the City have to readvertise as Council? Mr. Gill advised Council that the matter had been previously discussed with the City Attorney and he felt it necessary to have two public hearings, one before the Planning Agency and one before the Council. The Mayor declared the public hearing open. Councilman Woodruff expressed his opinion that they had heard just about all the input that they were going to hear as the Planning Agency and that it should be moved on to Council for a public hearing. No one spoke in support or oppostion of the proposed sign ordinance. Moved by Councilman Woodruff, seconded by Councilman Sharp, that the Council, as the Planning Agency, recommend adoption of the sign ordinance by the Council subject to certain amendments to be taken up article by article at February 25, 1974 Council Meeting. MOTION CARRIED 4-0 Councilman Woodruff suggested that Alternative A would be a good working document since they had been handling a report containing 35 to 38 pages, plus six exhibits. He suggested that Council review each article one at a time. Mayor Saltarelli questioned if it would be appropriate to take each individual item as Council instead of the Planning Agency. It seemed they would be commiting themselves to a particular idea, and that they should make revisions as Council, not as the Planning Agency. He felt they were comitting themselves prior to a public hearing. He also felt that Councilman Langley should be present to provide his opinions. Councilman Sharp agreed with the fact that a full membership should be present. CONSENT CALENDAR 1. APPROVAL OF PLANNING AGENCY MINUTES OF January 14 and January 21, 1974 meetings. 2.

Development plans are not firm on the remaining parcels; the Community Development Department has concerns related to the proposed interior landscaping of the parcels, especially 3 and 5, and recommended that the City Council, as the City of Tustin Planning Agency, approve by minute order the master plan concept for parking and landscaping for the Koll-Borchard Development subject to: Compliance with the development standards as contained in Resolution No. 73-35 (Guidelines for Planning, Zoning and Development).

Staff review and approval of precise develop- ment plans, including landscaping, circulation, elevation, design, security devices, fire safety and perimeter fencing, as related to the complex and specific parcels proposed for development. Mayor Saltarelli questioned as to how access would be guaranteed to all parcels. Mr. Fleagle advised the Planning Agency that the interior street system was private streets and use was guaranteed by lease agreements; the City will not be responsible for policing or maintenance of the interior streets. Councilman Woodruff questioned the setbacks from Red Hill, feeling that they may be inadequate and asked for the definition of the heavy parallel lines on Parcel 3. Mr. Richard Brooks, architect for the project, advised that the lines were the conceptual outline for mini- warehouses. Mayor Saltarelli asked if mini-warehouses would be rental type garages for public use. Mr. Brooks advised that they were proposed as rental spaces. Councilman Woodruff questioned if mini-warehouses use is a permitted use in the M-1 Zone or if a conditional use permit would be required. Mr. Fleagle advised that M-1 is the only zone in which mini-warehouses are permitted by right. Councilman Sharp questioned the opinion of Mr. Fleagle as related to security of mini-warehouses. Mr. Flea~le advised that it is a problem and the Building Code could address itself to that problem as related to the fire walls. Councilman Sharp questioned if the traffic circulation was adequate. Mr. Flea~le advised this is a matter of precise plan and review. Mayor Saltarelli questioned if there was mention of a restaurant. Mr. Flea~le advised there was an intent to construct a restaurant on the site but a definite proposal had not been made. Moved by Councilman Woodruff, seconded by Councilman Welsh that the master plan as submitted be amended to contain three additional conditions as follows: Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions shall be submitted to the City for approval, which agreement shall guarantee access to all parcels and provisions for the maintenance of all common areas.
