Appeal of Planning Commission Decision CUP 15 -7 - Hold a de novo hearing regarding CUP 15 -7 and after considering all evidence and testimony presented, adopt Resolution No. 6670 approving CUP 15 -7 to construct and operate a 37,000 square foot fitness club at an existing shopping center at 12411 Seal Beach Boulevard within the Commercial General (CG) zoning area and approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration. City Attorney, Craig Steele announced that a letter addressed to all Council Members was received late Monday afternoon requesting a 60 day continuance of the hearing requested by several Seal Beach and Rossmoor residents noting the Seal Beach Page 4 — City Council 7/25/2016 Municipal Code requires that a hearing on an appeal must be within 40 days of the date of the appeal. However, the applicant did not consent to the continuance; therefore, the City is unable to grant that request. Assistant Planner, Steve Fowler provided a presentation with a comprehensive background of the project. Mayor Massa -Lavitt opened the public hearing and disclosed she had an exparte meeting with the developer regarding the project. Council Member Deaton indicated she received all of the letters, read both sides, met with the applicant's representative and found no new information given, also watched the Planning Commission meeting. Council Member Miller expressed his concern regarding the proposed extended left hand turn lane. Speakers: Marry Potts gave an overview of the proposed LA Fitness project indicating that their project is compliant and meets or exceeds development standards. Mr. Potts indicated the neighborhood impacts are conditioned through the proposed resolution and addressed each issue as stated in the appeal by Margret Parker. Councilwoman Deaton inquired about the median and landscaping that will be removed as a result of the removal of the median. Mr. Potts also addressed her question regarding discretionary approvals indicating by right he can build the same size building as proposed. Councilwoman Deaton also inquired about the noise mitigation. Mr. Potts responded indicating there was no found noise impact. Mayor Pro -Tem Varipapa had questions regarding security, landscaping, and if signal timing will change. Mr. Potts indicted they're obligated operationally to monitor the signals after completion. Details related to security have not been discussed at this time and the cost for landscaping wasn't a figure he knew off hand. Additionally, Nick Roberts addressed Councilman Varipapa's questions regarding how LA Fitness determines where to put a gym, hours, signature clubs, height of clubs, loading area and ADA compliance. At the inquiry of Mayor Massa -Lavitt regarding signal timing at the intersection where they are making the left hand turn pocket lane longer, Director Basham commented that the length of time could be up to 10 seconds longer. Council Member Miller had questions for Dawson Lue regarding the amount of cars traveling on Rossmoor Center Way to Seal Beach Boulevard. Mr. Lue commented that results from the study indicate there were 135 vehicles traveling during the peak 60 minutes after work hours. Council Member Sloan inquired as to how many trips per day are made inbound and outbound of the center. Mr. Lue indicated 1,218 trips in a 24 hour period. The appellant Margret Parker, President of the Rossmoor Park Condominiums, addressed the Council with the following concerns: She feels the City of Seal Beach has set a low bar for determining development with substantial or significant impact; limited Page 5 - City Council 7/25/16 main gate access for emergency vehicles noting that her source from the Fire Department informed her that they cannot use Rossmoor Center Way because of the traffic congestion and congestion caused by In -N -Out Burger; concerns of the location of a 20 foot fire lane; and concerns of a lack of responsiveness when looking for City records. The following people spoke on behalf of the appellant requesting Council to uphold the appeal and reject Resolution 6670 and overturn the Planning Commission Resolution 16 -13. Craig Mongers spoke regarding traffic safety; Thomas Cripps spoke regarding traffic modeling and expressed his concerns regarding utility taxes; Melissa Kalivalmatancin expressed her concerns regarding the quality of life for residents that live in close proximity to the proposed LA Fitness and the noise ordinance; Rebecca Alley read the definition of a descriptive easement requesting that Council consider allowing the residents in Rossmoor to continue using the parking lot at the proposed LA Fitness site; Kevin Pierce spoke regarding parking issues, safety concerns, and lower property values of homes because the owners can't park in the parking lot; and a speaker who did not provide her name expressed concerns regarding CEQA requirements being circumvented, cumulative effects of the development, safety and believes the numbers are flawed and that the data keeps changing. Staff informed Council Member Miller and Council Member Deaton that the information provided to Margret Parker earlier that day was in compliance with the Public Records Act Request and all information was similar to what was provided in the staff report. Therefore, receiving the information the same day as the meeting would have no impact on the public hearing. Mayor Massa -Lavitt asked the appellant, Margret Parker, who she spoke to at the Fire Department. Ms. Parker indicated she would rather not say names because he is afraid of retaliation. Speakers in opposition include: Beth Harbor, Thomas Moore, Erin Jones, Robert Zato, Mike Reeder, Jerry Gotley, Ron Casey, Anea Ostridge, Joseph Sirota, Dave Bergius and Joy Lipton. City Clerk Robin Roberts received approximately 16 pages of signatures in opposition taken on Next Door from the appellant during the public hearing. The applicant, Marty Potts, then had an opportunity to rebut some of the issues. Mr. Potts then introduced John Miller, the Director of Retail Asset Management for AEW who spoke in support of the project. Having no further requests to speak, Mayor Massa - Lavitt closed the public hearing. Council Member Deaton indicated she has been through this before at the center only last time it was regarding housing. She commented that she thinks housing would have been great, would have added more parking and be more compatible with the neighborhoods. She explained that this project needed a Conditional Use Permit due to Page 6 — City Council 7/25/2016 the use of the building. Council Member Deaton stated LA Fitness is not compatible with the neighborhood and she wouldn't want it in her neighborhood. She commented that she feels that it should already be mitigated for the amount of traffic at the center. She indicated she listened to all the testimony, agreed it is not a compatible use and feels it is gracious of the center to allow residents to use it (parking). Concerns include: the bottleneck at Sprouts and Pei Wei and thinks mitigation should be done now, school time conflict is really important, cleared up the misconception that the City is receiving tax money, explained that the Planning Commission is appointed and respects the work that they have done. Deaton urged the shopping center to think about housing again and the City would be able to collect tax money from that. Council Member Miller agreed with Council Member Deaton that school issues are very important and the peak hour is really congested. He noted that there are issues related to the residents parking in the center due to the City allowing them to modify apartments having one unit and one parking spot and allowing them to park at the center. Council Member Miller then commented that he believes the parking and noise issues have not been adequately addressed. He indicated that the facility would function differently than the other commercial uses in the center and doesn't want another Bella Terra which is over built. He concluded by saying he doesn't support the project. Council Member Sloan indicated he doesn't feel the project that opens early in the morning and closes late at night is compatible with the neighborhood and cannot support the project. Mayor Pro -Tem Varipapa noted concerns with the noise and landscaping on the west side of the project. He then commented that the mitigation traffic impacts are good at the egress at Rossmoor Way and Seal Beach Boulevard and believes they should have been done a long time ago. Council Member Varipapa noted some concerns regarding traffic around children and can relate as he lives near a school. He concluded that he feels the project has room for improvement; however, the traffic issues and mitigation have been addressed. Mayor Massa -Lavitt believes the project is appropriate for its location. She commented that it's a retail center with a retail zone that happens to be surrounded by residential. She stated that the center has been there for a long time and although it has been underutilized in the past doesn't mean it has to stay that way. She stated that she supports LA Fitness and believes after it's in and settled that the residents won't be experiencing the issues they thought they would be experiencing. Mayor Massa -Lavitt would like to revise condition four on page six which states that the applicant has agreed to contribute $50,000 for the cost of landscaping. She doesn't want a limit contribution and would like full cost recovery. She stated she would like to see enhanced landscaping on the West facing part of the building facing the apartments since they will be looking at a wall. Overall, she is in favor of the project. Sloan moved, second by Miller, to uphold the Appeal of the Planning Commission approval of Conditional Use Permit 15 -7 and direct staff to place a resolution indicating such findings on the next City Council meeting agenda. Page 7 - City Council 7/25/16 AYES: Deaton, Sloan, Miller NOES: Massa - Lavitt, Varipapa ABSENT: None Motion carried M. Appeal of Planning Commission Decision Minor Use Permit, 25 A Surfside — Hold a de novo hearing regarding MUP 16 -4 and after considering all evidence and testimony presented, adopt Resolution No. 6671 denying the appeal and approving MUP 16 -4 to allow the extension of an existing deck and the construction of a second floor balcony on a single family residence that is nonconforming due to the front yard setback and parking in the Residential Low Density (RLD -9) zoning area at 25 -A Surfside Avenue. Assistant Planner Steve Fowler gave a comprehensive presentation on the Minor Use Permit for 25 A Surfside. Mayor Massa - Lavitt opened the public hearing. Scott Levitt, representing the applicant, addressed the three factors the appellant brought up in their application. Levitt notes 85% of the homes on the A row have second floor balconies that are 5 -10 feet and should also be noted that 33 of those balconies are 10 feet. Therefore, the balcony is compatible with the use and doesn't change the house itself or affect the surrounding properties. He informed the Council that the project is exempt under CEQA as staff indicated minor changes are categorically exempt. Lastly, the plans were approved by the Architectural Committee and; therefore, the standards within Surfside Colony have not been violated. The appellant, Art Gullucci, indicated he was not provided any information by the property owner or the association. He stated that the City of Seal Beach's public hearing notification was the first he had heard of the project just three days prior to the hearing. He indicated that he spoke with the Surfside Colony Board and they informed him that they had already voted and were already going to the City Council. He informed the Council that at the June 20, 2016 Planning Commission meeting that four of the Commissioners indicated they did not receive correspondence he had provided. He stated his position is that the Planning Commission voted wrong and was not given a proper hearing. Mr. Gullucci read architectural standards from the Homeowners Association which clearly states that decks shall not obstruct the view of the adjoining neighbors. In closing he asked that Council overturn the Planning Commission decision. Dave Evans, President of Surfside Colony and Chair of the Architectural Committee, thanked the City for assisting with the review of plans. He stated that the Architectural Committee looks at every situation and the impact to the neighbors noting that they approve based on the architectural guidelines and rely on the City to enforce the building codes. He noted that the Committee feels it is a non -grade deck and they have reviewed the matter a second time and still feel it meets the guidelines. He concluded Page 8 — City Council 7/25/2016 that they consider the posts and deck as temporary because it can be removed without impact to the structure of the home. Mr. Evans responded to Mayor Pro -Tem Varipapa's inquiry indicating there are five members on the Homeowners Association Board and three members on the Architectural Committee. Appellant Art Gullucci provided a copy of the 2015 Rules and Regulation approved by the Board to the City Clerk. Scott Levitt, on behalf of the applicant, reiterated that the project is compatible. Mayor Massa -Lavitt closed the public hearing at this time. Council Member Deaton noted that it's important to her as a decision maker that the HOA has done their due diligence and made their findings and approved it. She commented that staff's review indicates that it's within our Municipal Code. She then urged Council to vote for this Resolution. Deaton moved, second by Varipapa, to adopt Resolution No. 6671 denying the appeal and approving MUP 16 -4. AYES: Massa - Lavitt, Varipapa, Deaton, Sloan, Miller NOES: None ABSENT: None Motion carried City Attorney Craig Steele indicated the decision is final and the time within which a legal challenge could be brought forward is pursuant to by civil code section 1094.6.
