MINUTES 03-01-82TUSTIN PLANNING AGENCY Minutes of Regular Meeting March 1, 1982 The Planning Agency held a regular meeting Monday, March 1, 1982, at 3:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 300 Centennial Way, Tustin, California. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Pro-Tern Hoesterey at 3:00 p.m. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Mr. Saltarelli and the invocation was given by Mr. Edgar. ROLL CALL Present: Absent: Also present: MINUTES Hoesterey, Edgar, Kennedy, Saltarelli Sharp William Huston, City Manager Michael Brotemarkle, Community Development Director James Rourke, City Attorney Mary Ann Chamberlain, Recording Secretary The minutes of the regular meeting held February 16, 1982, were ap- proved as submitted. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. USE PERMIT 82-4 Applicant: Location: Request: U-Haul of Orange County 1431Laguna Road Authorization to conduct outdoor rental and storage or rental vehicles in conjunction with a public storage facility After Mr. Brotemarkle presented the Staff report, the Public Hearing was opened at 3:05 p.m. Bill Guthrie, President, U-Haul of Orange County complimented staff on the thoroughness of the report but stated oposition to two of the recommended conditions of approval. His first objection was to the requirement for restroom facilities for the handicapped. Because of the nature of his business he felt; 1) the handicapped community did not frequently seek the service he provided and; 2) most customers did not spend more than ten or fifteem minutes on premises. Mr. Guthrie also questioned the staff's recommendation for screening. He felt since the requirement was for only approximately six feet of screening and his equipment was in excess of 10 feet, the screening wouldn't serve a viable purpose.. The Public Hearing was closed at 3:06 p.m. Mr. Saltarelli stated he felt, if legal, the requirement for handicapped facilities be deleted because of the prohibitive cost. He also stated that there should be some attempt to screen the facility. Mr. Brotemarkle stated that Staff was most concerned with.the eastern boundary of the facility and that Staff felt slats in the fence would probably be suitable . He also stated that if the public did not have access to the restroom facilities, there would be no handicapped requirement. Ursula Kennedy arrived 3:07 p.m. Planning Agency Minutes March 1, 1982 Page 2 Mr. Saltarelli moved and Mr. Edgar seconded to approve the requested use permit with the deletion of the condition for handicapped restroom facilities.

VARIANCE 82-2 Applicant: Location: Request: U-Haul or Orange County 1431Laguna Road Authorization to retain existing non-conforming roof sign After Mr. Brotemarkle presented the Staff report, the Public Hearing was opened at 3:14 p.m. Bill Guthrie, President of U-Haul of Orange County stated sign identification was critical to the operation of U-Haul and because of the size of his building a smaller sign would not be sufficient. He stated this location was chosen because of its proximity to the freeway and, as a freeway-oriented use, a roof sign was important to the success of his business. The Public Hearing was closed at 3:18 p.m. Mr. Edgar stated he could understand the need for identify and good location but felt the present sign, consisting of 288 square feet was much too large. Mr. Saltarelli stated he felt the Agency could perhaps grant a temporary use permit for the existing sign with review in one year to eighteen months. Mr. Edgar stated because of the need for visibility that the roof sign be allowed to remain but to reduce the degree of non-conformance limit the sign to 150 square feet. Mr. Edgar moved approval of a variance granting a maximum 150 square foot roof sign. Mr. Hoesterey seconded the motion. Mrs. Kennedy questioned staff if a variance would still have been required if U-Haul had requested a smaller sign. Mr. Brotemarkle stated that if they had requested a pole sign, that action would have required a use permit; however, the roof sign, no matter how small, still required a variance.

Motion carried 4-0, Sharp absent. 5 · ~ LANDSCAPE AND~x*us~r~ ~ II~ROFEMRNT PLAN The Community Development Director presented the staff report and recom- mendation, and introduced Dick Fisher, Manager of Landscape Architectural Services, Berryman & Stephenson, Inc. Mr. Fisher presented a detailed account of plans for landscaping and street improvements along E1 Camino Real in the Old Town Tustin area. Agency concerns included careful study of flowering trees which could be messy; planting low foliage on the island at E1 Camino Way for safety reasons; newsstands being a source of paper accumulation; street crossings; and speed limit(s) in the area. Of greatest Agency concern was the number of on-street parking spaces pro- posed.for elimination. In response to Mr. Saltarelli's suggestion that angle parking be utilized, the Director of Public Works responded that angle parking would not pro- vide additional parking spaces, and suggested staff could come back with an exact area that can be parked with driveway clearances, etc., and get an accurate count on how many spaces will be lost block by block. The Director continued that if the Agency is concerned about losing parking spaces, then the scope of the project will have to be withdrawn. In response to the Chairman Pro Tem, the Director indicated the information could be provided at the workshop scheduled on March 8. In response to Mrs. Kennedy, the Director of Public Works stated that the evaluation of the EIR on the Newport Town Center Project did indicate that parking on Main Street would most likely be removed when the downtown area is fully developed to accommodate the traffic flow. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES Page 2, 3-1-82 After further Agency/staff/architect discussion on the plan, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that the concept be approved with the stipulation that the trade-off between parking and beautification is to be finalized at a future meeting. Chairman Pro Tem Hoesterey requested that the motion be modified concern- ing flowering trees. The maker agreed, but the second did not. Mr. Saltarelli stated he could not support the motion. A substitute motion was made by Kennedy, seconded by Hoesterey, to con- tinue the matter to the joint Revelopment Agency/Council workshop to be held on March 8 at 7:30 p.m. Carried 4-0, Sharp absent. 81 6 · AG~C~ None. It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to adjourn at 4:19 p.m. to the joint Redevelopment Agency/Council meeting on March 8, and thence to the next regular meeting on March 15, 1982. Carried 4-0, Sharp absent. RECO NG
