APPEAL OF DESIGN REVIE~ 95-006 (THE. HOF-.E DEPOT) Sara Pashalides, Associate Planner, reported the applicant proposed to establish an outdoor display area in front of Home Depot to display merchandise and plant stock. The applicant had appealed several of the Conditions of Approval imposed by the Planning Commission which.required an agreement by Home Depot for posting bonds to cover the cost of violation enforcement; a physical barrier to confine merchandise within the display area; limiting sales to Friday, Saturday and Sunday through September 4, 1995; and expediting implementation of West Drive improvements by the property owner. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, noted that the Mayor had requested alterations to the Conditions of Approval and she summarized staff's recommendations for the following modifications: Condition 2.1E, installation of a physical barrier consisting of temporary poles approximately 3 feet in height with a chain connecting from pole to pole; Condition 3.1, authorizing outdoor displays on a daily basis through September 5, 1995; and Condition 3.2, defining the size of the outdoor merchandise CITY 'COUNCIL MINUTES Page 8, 7-3-95 display area shall not exceed.990 sq. ft for the area under the canopy nor 1600 sq. ft. for the area in front of the garden center. The following member of the audience stated approval of the proposed modifications and requested Home Depot's Traffic Engineer address the City Council: Tamara Santoni, representing Home Depot James Kawamura, representing KHR.Associates, stated Home Depot requested his firm review previous traffic studies and conduct additional studies to determine the cause for congestion in front of Home Depot; reported the congestion was due to conflicts between pedestrian traffic, primarily generated by Home Depot Customers walking across West Drive to enter and leave the store, conflicting with vehicular traffic entering the Marketplace on West Drive; reported that Home Depot's sidewalk displays were a minor source of the congestion problem; believed that alternative accesses to the Marketplace between East and West Drive should be explored and specifically at Carl's Jr. restaurant provide a left- turn access from E1 Camino Real in the westbound direction which would alleviate approximately 35-40% of the traffic fronting Home Depot; and suggested exploring other long-termsolutions including signal phasing improvements at West Drive and E1 Camino Real and providing'additional capacity for exiting West Drive northbound. .Mayor Potts suggested investigating the extension of Myford Road and providing a rear access and parking lot for Home Depot, and encouraged Home Depot to work with staff and develop long-term solutions. Councilmember Saltarelli questioned why the West Drive improvements had not been completed during the past three years. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, responded that The Irvine Company. and Donahue Schriber were responsible for the traffic improvements, however, Home Depot had filed litigation against them to prevent the improvements from proceeding, approval by Beacon Bay had not been obtained, and lease negotiations were required to resolve concerns of the existing tenants. She stated the companies had prepared another traffic study which would be submitted to the Planning Commission within the next 30 days. She emphasized that Home Depot was not at fault for the improvement delay, and because staff concurred that the outdoor displays did not significantly contribute to the traffic problem, the proposed modifications had been recommended. She stressed that cooperation from Home Depot's management was imperative and noted that continuing violations had occurred over the past weekend prior to .presentation to the City Council; and she requested that the City Council reinforce that these Conditions were temporary through September 5th and staff would recommend that extension be denied if Home Depot failed to respond to the Conditions approved by the City Council. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 9, 7-3-95 Councilmember Saltarelli noted that Condition 3.5 stipulated that temporary outdoor display of merchandise was permitted with the understanding that the property owner would "actively, diligently and expeditiously" construct the improvements on West Drive. He requested September 4 be inserted in the Condition as a specific date for completion of the improvements. He stressed the potential for accidents, noted that outdoor displays contributed to the distraction of pedestrians and motorists, and the improvements must be completed befOre further compromises would be considered. Mr. Kawamura responded~ that safety and liability were primary concerns of Home Depot and the improvement lawsuit was filed because of safety and liability issues related to their loading dock operation. Mayor Pro Tem Worley stated that the left turn access.into Carl's Jr. restaurant would benefit traffic flow and urged completion as soon as feasible. Councilmember Thomas expressed disappointment with Home Depot's lack of cooperativeness in the community; noted unsuccessful attempts by the Economic Development Council to gain Home Depot's participation in the community; commented on Home Depot's unresponsiveness to the problems existing at their store; questioned why Home Depot was permitted outdoor displays and other tenants were denied; agreed with a completion date of September 4 and wanted additional measures taken if lack of cooperation continued; commented on Council concerns regarding rumors that Home Depot may relocate to the proposed shopping center across from the Marketplace, and pledged his support and efforts to retain Home Depot as a Marketplace tenant. Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, responding to the equity of outdoor displays, stated that the Planning Commission had requested preparation of guidelines for outdoor display of merchandise, however, the Marketplace provisions prohibited outdoor displays for all tenants except Home Depot, which was not uncommon for home improvement/garden centers. Mayor Potts stated the City did not want to lose Home Depot as a tenant; noted the Marketplace and Auto Mall combined produced more sales tax revenue than South Coast Plaza; stated a similar shopping center would be constructed across the street from the Marketplace that would compete with Tustin for revenue; reported that no accidents had occurred at Home Depot; clarified that Home Depot was not required to respond to the Economic Development Council; and revenue from Home Depot contributed to financing of City employees, parks, street improvements, etc. and the City was very willing to work with Home Depot to resolve areas of concern.

TEMPORARY SIGN REGULATIONS FOR APARTMENT SIGNS (TUSTIN EFFECTIVE APARTMENT MANAGERS) " Christine Shingleton, Assistant City Manager, reported that in response to a request from TEAM for advertising opportunities, particularly on weekends for large apartment complexes, staff was recommending adoption of a permanent ordinance establishing interim regulations until permanent sign code amendments were adopted.
