Presentation: Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development COMMISSION CONCERNS Commissioner Baker asked if Carl's Jr. appealed the decision of the last meeting regarding their pole sign request. The Director replied that they had appealed. However, the new request was substantially revised and should come before the Commission again before going on to the City Council. Commissioner Shaheen expressed his concern about the Community development of the City, especially the downtown area. He asked if there was a way to modify that area now. The Director replied that as part of a program over the next 12 months, the Cultural Resources Advisory Committee will be looking at developing to maximize opportunities in Old Town. One alternative is mixed-use, but there is a high degree of sensitivity to retain the R-1 district. Commissioner Le Jeune asked about the expansion of the Health Care Medical Center at Newport and Sycamore. Staff replied that with the Conditional Use Permit that was granted, they have one (1) year to make progress, but nothing has occurred to date. The Director noted that they may be having financial problems, and that they may be making a decision in the next thirty (30) days to sell the property. Planning Commission Action Agenda January 22, 1990 Page 5 Commissioner Le Jeune asked if there was an enforceable dish ordinance, and any current properties were under code enforcement; noted that he felt that the staff should review the blinking lights issue around the City at night; asked if the center at Newport and Walnut would be authorized to have different colored curb striping; that there seems to be a significant lack of enforcement of the two-hour parking requirement along B Street. The Director replied that there are some dish violations under code enforcement at present, and that the court found the City's requirements to be valid; that seasonal -style blinking lights and small neon signs inside the building were permitted as long as they do not exceed the approved square footage; that the parking code does not specify that all striping be the same at one center; and that they would look into the parking problem along B Street. Commissioner Rasparian noted a sign that was in disrepair at the corner of Newport and Irvine Blvd; reiterated that he felt that the red -lining of the curb in front of San Remo's Market should be done independently of the construction; and asked about the status of the Sign Code. The Director replied that it would be referred to code enforcement; that the contractor had to have the curb red -lined before the City would issue a Certificate of Occupancy, but after the determination of intersection obstruction. She noted that she would draft a memo to Public Works for an update; and that there would be a status update at the next meeting regarding the Sign Code. Commissioner Baker asked if the construction site at Newport and Bryan has ceased; and asked if there was any problem with toxic leakage at the site. Staff replied that it is finishing the Plan Check process and has to wait for construction plans to be approved before it can continue with the precise grading; and discussed the status of the Newport/Bryan site and the Newport/E1 Camino site. ADJOURNMENT At 7:47, Commissioner Pontious moved, Shaheen seconded to adjourn to the next regular scheduled meeting of the Tustin Planning Commission on February 12, 1990 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 300 Centennial Way, Tustin, California. Motion carried 5-0.
