REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES
Page 2, 1-15-90
The following member of the audience thanked Mayor Edgar and
Councilman Prescott for meeting with Chevron to resolve the
dedication concerns and presented Chevron's proposal:
Robert Fiscus, 1300 Beach Boulevard, La Habra
Mayor Edgar stated the proposed financial agreement would meet the
needs of the City in terms of land dedication for improvement of the
intersection and Chevron would receive an expanded station to serve
the public, increase their profit, and provide tax revenue to the
City. He felt the proposed agreement was justified because if the
City in three years condemned the land to widen the intersection,
the cost would be prohibitive. In reference to the renovation of
the northeast corner of Newport and Irvine, it was important for
staff to aggressively identify the right-of-way requirements for the
completed intersection. He requested staff be directed to not only
address the intersection as it pertained to Chevron but include all
parcels required for the intersection.
Councilman Prescott stated for the record he would judge the project
as to the value of the land required for street dedication.
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Edgar, to authorize staff to
proceed with a feasibility evaluation for Agency's participation in
the rehabilitation of the Chevron service station at the
northwesterly corner of Irvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue,
including drafting a memorandum of understanding defining basic
terms for said participation.
The motion carried 4-0.
7. DESIGN REVIEW 89-68 (CMS DEVELOPMENT)
Susan Tebo, Senior Planner, gave a staff report regarding CMS
Development's proposal to construct at 45,376 sq. ft. retail center
consisting of 31,616 sq. ft. of general showroom; 10,244 sq. ft. of
general retail; and a 3,516 sq. ft. Carl's Jr. Restaurant located
at 14041 Newport Avenue/I-5 Freeway and noted that the Headache
Center was not part of the proposal.
Councilman Prescott stated there was a beautiful focal element with
the City of Tustin monument sign scheme and since this was not on
the developer's property but on Caltrans right-of-way, he felt any
City entrance monument sign should be the responsibility of the
City. He suggested it be constructed and maintained at City expense
and the City should not require a private developer to build and
maintain a structure on public property.
The following member of the audience addressed the Council and noted
the entrance was on the developer's property, not on Caltrans right-
of-way :
Cody Small, President, CMS Development
Christine Shingleton, Director of Community Development, stated that
staff had not recommended the entry sign; what had been identified
and concurred to by the Council was the focal point would be an
entrance to the community from the freeway ramp. It should be
designed as an entry and receive special design treatment. The
applicant'believed,the way to address the issue was with signage;
staff did not request it. The applicant voluntarily presented the
signage.

another agreement or more alterations in the architectural treatment
with full understanding that there was a security problem so the

property. She suggested the developer meet again with the residents
adjacent to the project.
