PUBLIC HEARING
2. DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT of the GENERAL PLAN
, ,
Staff Recort
Mr. Whittenberg delivered the staff report. Mr. Whittenberg
indicated the Housing Element is a portion of the City'S General
~ which is required under State law provisions. He reviewed
Government Code mandates, State law requirements, Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG) requirements and
responsibilities.

Page 2 - Planning Commission Meeting - Minutes of April 4, 1990
SCAG projections indicate that 494 new housing units should be
built in the City of Seal Beach between January 1988 to June 1994
to meet the demand for new families desiring to move into the
community. Of these 494 units, 62 units are needed for very low
income families (very low income is 50% of Orange County median
income), 122 units are needed for low income (low income is 80% of
the Orange County median), 110 units are needed for moderate income
families (moderate income is 120% of the Orange County median) and
200 units are needed for upper income families. The main focus of
the Housing Element, regarding programs, relates to providing
sufficient areas and sites to meet the demands for 494 units. Then
trying to find ways to assist the existing families in the
communi ty. SCAG, in their Reaional Housina Needs Assessment
(published every 5 years by SCAG) indicated these figures reflect
targets that a city needs to show it is trying to achieve in good
faith. If these units are not provided then ~hose goals are re-
evaluated by SCAG every 5 years. They will come out with a new set
of projected needs based on new population growth within the
Southern California area.
Through State law provisions there is an appeal process through
SCAG to challenge their numbers to have them adjusted based on
specific concerns and specific situations that exist within a
communi ty that would not reasonably allow a community to reach
those goals within the 5 year period of time. The numbers were
first submitted to cities for review by SCAG in mid-1988. The
numbers became official on 7-1-88 and at that point all the cities
in the Southern California region had a ninety (90) day period of
time to prepare a specific list of documentation to SCAG to
question those numbers for revision. When the 90 day period of
time has run, SCAG has sixty (60) days to review those numbers and
make a determination on the original numbers should remain or new
numbers could be developed. The City of Seal Beach did not act in
1988 and therefore those numbers are locked in numbers at this time
and cannot be challenged as part of the Housing Element. In late
1992 to early 1993 SCAG will issue new numbers. In the meantime,
the City will be collecting the appropriate information based on
the requirements of State law to see if the figures are reasonable
for Seal Beach. We would act, if necessary, in that 90-day time
period. The 1990 Census figures will give us very updated
information at that time to do our analyses with.
The two major areas of concern are the provision of 62 units for
very low income, the 122 units for low income and the 110 units for
moderate income families: 294 housing units. Two major possible
areas to meet these needs are (1) moderate income units on the
remaining five-acre portion of the Hellman property that now is in
oil extraction. High density zoning would allow 20 units per acre
on those 5 acres for 100 units: (2) potential low or moderate
income units on the Bixby properties. Other areas/programs would
involve small infill developments within the existing community.

page 3 - Planning Commission Meeting - Minutes of April 4, 1990
The Redevelopment Agency, in future years, will have to start
developing some programs to provide assistance to low and moderate
income families. There's a provision under Redevelopment law where
20% of the tax increment funds through the Redevelopment Agency
must be set aside for low and moderate income housing. To this
point the Agency has been paying prior existing debts for previous
projects. Until these debts are paid off the City is excused from
setting aside these funds for the housing programs. These funds
can be used for rental assistance, acquisition, land write-down
costs for new construction to bring the cost of housing down to an
affordable level.
The major constraints faced in Seal Beach are availability of land,
high cost of land, financing costs, construction costs.
Mr. Whittenberg discussed the five points of the City's housing
strategy.
***
commission Comments
Chairman Sharp noted a key issue in the Draft Housing Element is
that it's a guideline and not a demand.
commissioner Rullo presented a list of amendments that he had drawn
up for the Draft Housing Element and wants added to the Housing
Element for State consideration.
paae 19 - Add after second caraarach:
Seal Beach has historically absorbed a significantly greater
share of multi-family residential units in comparison to the
abutting market area. There is an imbalance of multi-family
apartment-type units in the city. Such units have the
potential to be rental units and Seal Beach should establish
to attempt to create a more balanced housing stock with
development of single family detached homes (not mUlti-family)
on any remaining raw land.
Mr. Whittenberg said the Draft Housing Element has been sent to the
State for review as required by State law. They have a 45 day
review period of time to review the document and make comments.
The comment period ends on April 23, 1990. If this Public Hearing
makes major/substantial changes to the Housing Element it would
require re-submission to the State Department of Housing and
Community Development which would then start another 45 day review
period. The City's problem is the existing court judgment gives
the City 120 days to adopt a new Housing Element. Staff's concern
is that if the State has two 45 day review periods there is very
little time left to review the State comments, make whatever
changes are appropriate and rehear the Housing Element before the
Planning Commission and City Council and meet the 120 day deadline.
.
.
.
Page 4 - Planning Commission Minutes of April 4, 1990
Mr. Rullo asked what would happen the City missed the 120 deadline?
Mr. Barrow said that at the present time the court has not signed
any judgement so the time has not officially begun to run. If the
city gets close to the 120 day period we're supposed to request
additional time from the court. We don't know how the court would
respond to that. Secondly, the city has never had to go back to
the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and
the law is unclear as to what happens in this new process. The
City Attorney's Office and staff are concerned that we don't want
to give any perception to the State that while we're giving them
one document the City is planning to adopt something else. We want
to be sure what we're giving the State, with minor changes here and
there, is what gets presented to the City Council.
Mr. Rullo referred to page 36, Land Use Designation. He said if
there was another group there showing potential units, in low
density the City could have 6,699 units, in medium density the City
could have 513 and in high density 18,518 which totals 25,730 units
and could have 70,000 more persons in the City. If we adopt this
Housing Element and certain housing groups get together and say
"there's some way we're going to make you stick to this plan" what
are we going to do? Mr. Whittenberg indicated this document now
reflect current zoning standards and would allow more than one
single family home per parcel of land in the Old Town area. This
is not staff's understanding of the goals of the Old Town area.
That's what we have to show in the Housing Element to keep this
document consistent with the Land Use Element.
Mr. Rullo referenced page 44, Item B. Proaram. He said this should
be changed to "single family detached houses to promote a more
balanced housing stock in the City". Also, 25 units per acre
(indicated in the paragraph below) should be changed to "8 homes
per net residential acre on such parcel". We want to get away from
high density --- such as three story condos. Mr. Whittenberg
indicated the numbers shown for future housing needs within the
community --- the City needs to provide programs that will indicate
that there's a potential to meet the need for very low, low and
moderate income housing units that are needed in the community.
Based on SCAG numbers that we must use at this time we need to show
there's a way to develop 294 units in a 5 year period of time.
What normally meets those levels are apartments and condominiums.
If the document that is submitted to the State clearly indicates
that the City is not going to try to reach those goals during that
period of time it's very easy then for the document to be found not
in conformance with State guidelines and then the City's put in a
position of not being able to issue permits for any housing. That
would impact the Mola project and other persons wanting to build
single family homes.
Mr. Rullo said "guidelines" seem to wind up becoming the law. The
City has been sued for not having the Housing Element updated on
time. We could be sued by other housing groups. Mr. Whittenberg
.
.
.
Page 5 - Planning Commission Minutes of April 4, 1990
said staff wants to develop document that's acceptable under state
guidelines that will put the City in a position of not having the
current cloud on development in the community exist. This
document can be revised up to four times per year.
Mr. Sharp said there's over 6,000 units in Leisure World, not
counting the high-rise three-story apartments. Ms. Forsythe said
that out of 14,000 households, 7,824 were low to moderate income
households. These figures are based on the 1980 SCAG figures. Mr.
Whittenberg said SCAG looks at different types of housing. They
have several different categories -- elderly, large families (5+
persons) etc. The numbers identified in this document for existing
needs relate more towards those family needs than for the elderly
primarily because the City has Leisure World which meets a very
large portion of the need for this City and the surrounding area.
Mr. Rullo referenced page 57, Five-Year Ouantified Housing
Ob;ectives, "...3,774 dwelling units, by 1994". He suggested
reducing 795 to 595 to have the sentence read "...595 housing units
could be constructed in the city and abutting housing market area".
Mr. Whittenberg said he was not aware there's a way to transfer
some of the housing need to another jurisdiction because they also
have existing needs that they're working under. There might be
some way under a joint powers agreement between cities to share the
need. The 795 figure --- staff expects 500 of these units to be
upper income housing units. Staff's intent is to get this Housing
Element adopted and then start working on the next update.
Ms. Forsythe said she read Mr. Rullo's modifications and agrees
with them. He has personalized a generic Housing Element. She is
specifically concerned (page 48) with the bonus incentive. She
said she didn't think builders needed at 25% incentive to build in
Old Town. On page 33, where would the "100 multi-family dwelling
units" be going? Mr. Whittenberg said one of the programs
indicates this may go on the remainder of the Hellman Ranch
property. Could HCD require us to add the 100 low to moderate
housing units? Mr. Barrow said HCD's function is advisory --- to
review the Housing Element that's been sent to them and make
certain findings. Such findings are to be considered by the City
Council. Mr.Whittenberg said we have not heard back from HCD and
expect some preliminary comments by the end of this week. Mr.
whittenberg said the density bonuses is a mandated requirement of
State law. Staff suggests you look at your density provisions in
the Old Town area because with the RHD and RMD that exist now
there's the potential for mUltiple units on those lots. If you
change the density to one unit per lot you eliminate that area from
being eligible for that type of a program.

Public Hearina
Chairman Sharp opened the Public Hearing at 9:07 p.m.
Jim Funk * Old Town. Seal Beach
Mr. Funk said the City is developing a document acceptable to the
State but which the City has no intention of implementing. Mr.
Funk spoke in favor of incorporating Mr. Rullo's amendments (copies
of amended pages, plus cover memorandum, attached for reference)
to pages 19, 34A, 36, 36A, 42, 443, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 51, 54, 57,
58, 65. A major concern of Mr. Funk's was providing low and
moderate income housing given the high cost of land in the city of
Seal Beach. He spoke of beach amenities and small town quality of
life in Seal Beach versus an inland community. He urged prompt
review of the Land Use Element. He said he felt, once this Housing
Element is adopted, it would open the way for bringing suit against
the City to force the zoning to be consistent with the Land Use
Element and the Housing Element of the General Plan. He indicated
that if the citizen input doesn't count and the Planning Commission
input doesn't count then there exists a situation where the Public
Hearing could be declared a sham. people could say they didn't get
their opportunity to present their case and even if they did get
their opportunity you couldn't amend the document because you're
fixed on a date ...
Five minute recess: meeting resumed at 9:07 p.m.
Bruce stark * Old Town. Seal Beach
Mr. Stark said we should have had Public Hearings before we sent
this document to the State for review. He indicated he would like
a definition of the term "potentially vacant property". He said
"nothing could salvage this plan. .. if you adopt it and don't live
up to it then you're going to have Bixby or Mola ... suing you to
live up to it". Environmentalists and others concerned with
Housing Elements could sue the city because this Housing Element
was not prepared in good faith but was prepared as a paper exercise
to satisfy a 120 day requirement by the court. Mr. Stark
referenced a case from Marin county that would not allow pro-
rating low income housing to one part of the County nor to one part
of a city --- it must be spread out. This document (at page 46)
makes Old Town the impact area for rooming houses for the homeless
and he suggested spreading out the low income housing.
Ms. Forsythe asked Mr. Stark if he had read the Housing Element.
Mr. Stark said he had read it twice. Ms. Forsythe asked what
changes Mr. Stark would make --- what are we neglecting? Mr. Stark
said "granny flats" in Old Town should be eliminated, turning Old
Town and the Hill into rooming houses. He felt not enough people
.

Page 7 - Planning commission Minutes of April 4, 1990
have seen this document and review it. His recommendation is to
tabling this Housing Element, going back to the judge and ask for
an extension so we can produce a viable Housing Element.
Charles Antos * 210 8th Street. Seal Beach
Mr. Antos indicated the following:
Page 36 - This table is incorrect.
shows a total acreage designated
categories and this shows 1446 ---
The previous Housing Element
of 1456 acres in the three
it's ten acres off somewhere.
page 46 - Program F. - Strike the words "multi-family housing" in
the second line. If it is going to be left in as a program he
recommends getting rid of mUlti-family housing and deal with some
existing structure and get rid of the impact area leaving it in the
downtown census tract and substitute "city-wide". On financing,
there are Federal, State and Redevelopment funds available.
The City has had permissive programs in the past. There's a fear
now that if these permissive programs are retained then somebody
may walk in and want to do them.
Page 47 - Program H. - Second unit "granny flats". This should not
be used as a program to legalize illegal units within the City no
matter where they are.
Page 48 - Density Bonuses. After the word "moderate income
households" add "upon issuance of a Conditional Use Permit" and
this should be City-wide. This needs a PUblic Hearing so the
neighbors know what's going on.
He agrees this Housing Element should not be adopted tonight. He
recommends workshop sessions to look at any comments be held.
James Goodwin * 1405 Crestview. Seal Beach
Mr. Goodwin expressed the sentiment that the city needs moderate
income housing that teachers, post office workers, beginning
doctors, lawyers, engineers can afford. We need a diversity of
people. If we want to live in the spirit of the new environmental
legislation ... cuts down on the deposit of environmentally
hazardous elements in the air from automobiles etc. It's a good
idea to cut down on driving time. On page 36 the income figures
show you'd have to be earning $113,000 to afford a $360,000 house.
For example, teachers make a top salary of about $40,000 per year.
The median income in Orange county is about $40,000 per year. 120%
of that means you could afford a $240,000 house with 50% of your
income allotted to it.

Marilvn Hastinas * 121 12th street. Seal Beach
Ms. Hastings said the latest statistics show "lout of every 9
people in the United States live in the State of California right
now today. To provide housing for all these people, including low
and moderate income people that are coming here, flooding in here
from other states in the Union is almost an overwhelming,
unattainable task".
Mitzie Morton * 153 13th Street. Seal Beach
Ms. Morton asked why the city didn't appeal the SCAG figures in
1982? Did Mr. Rullo or Mr. Sharp, who were on the Planning
commission in 1988, read the SCAG report in 19881 Mr. Whittenberg
said the SCAG report came to the Planning Department but staff
cannot find any record that a special action was taken on it at
that time. Mr. Whittenberg said there's a time within which the
City has an opportunity to challenge those numbers if they feel
that's appropriate. In 1983 or 1988, when those time periods were
available, staff now cannot guess whether an action was considered
and rejected or not even considered. Most cities don't even
challenge the numbers because it's a very difficult process to
challenge the numbers successfully. The issue is providing
adequate information to SCAG to indicate there are really strong
overriding reasons why those numbers should be changed. In 1982
the numbers indicated for very low/low/moderate income family for
new construction within the community was 714 housing units. Today
it's 294 today. There has been a large drop as determined by SCAG
without any City input. From this point on staff is very cognizant
of the issue and will be providing appropriate information at the
time it's appropriate to do that in the future.
Ms. Morton asked how SCAG gets there figures on existing low
housing? Staff said the figures were derived from statistical
projections from the 1980 Federal census.
Ms. Morton asked about "granny units". Staff replied a "granny
unit" is an accessory living unit that's attached to a single
family residence. They can only occur on single family
residentially zoned properties. They require a CUP and a Public
Hearing for approval. The can have a kitchen facility. They are
a legal living unit but it is limited to persons of a certain age,
primarily for elderly. We must allow them somewhere. "Granny
flats" must have the appropriate parking.
Ms. Morton recommended consideration of the Rullo amendments.

Michelle Funk * 215 1/2 Tenth st.. Seal Beach
Ms. Funk said a Public Hearing is expected to generate amendments
due to the input. The reason we have a Public Hearing is to alert
and educate the public. She urged adoption of a unique small town
Housing Element.
Chairman Sharp closed the Public Hearing at 10:03 p.m.
***
MOTION by Sharp to accept the draft Housing Element as presented
and instruct staff to take all the public comments and the Rullo
amendments and study them with the City Attorney. These cOlUlents
are to be incorporated at the very top of the draft When it goes
to the City Council so they have these to deal with at their Public
Hearing. If the Council and staff feels these comments or
amendments are appropriate without disrupting the court's time
schedule that they be done at Council level instead of Commission
level.
MOTION CLARIFIED by Whittenberg - Staff is to take the comments
received tonight both from the public and Commissioner RUllo
(provided to each member of the Commission earlier) aJlendllents,
evaluate those along with the comments we will eventually receive
from the State Department of Housing and Community Development and
recoJIIJIIeDd incorporation of those itelllS that we feel can be
incorporated into the document and still l18ke it a legally
defensible good faith effort to cOlllply with the provisions of State
law.
MOTION FAILED for lack of Second.
Ms. Forsythe said the public has not had ample time to review the
modifications. There are many more things to consider in this
Housing Element. She wanted the things that came out incorporated
before she agrees to send this to the City Council. Mr.
Whittenberg reiterated the mandatory elements of the General Plan
can be amended four times per year.
Mr. Sharp asked staff for clarification on the amendment process.
Mr. Whittenberg indicated the numbers that are difficult to deal
with are the numbers relating to the provision of future housing.
Those numbers cannot be modified and still expect the State to
review the document and say we're in compliance with provisions of
State law. The first thing the State looks at are the SCAG
numbers; You can amend the document on program activities, other
funding sources etc.
Mr. Rullo said he would like this issue held over two weeks to the
Planning Commission meeting of April 18, 1990.

Chairman Sharp re-opened the Public Hearing on the advice of the
City Attorney to allow further public input.
Marilvn Hastinas * 121 12th Street. Seal Beach
Ms. Hastings asked if the City can appeal to SCAG? Mr. Whittenberg
said not at this time. This needed to have been done 90 days after
July 1988. When can we appeal to SCAG again? Staff said it will
be whenever SCAG comes out with their next version of the Reaional
Housina Needs Assessment - probably late 1992 or early 1993.
stanley Lasowskv * Leisure World
Mr. Lasowsky says low income housing is usually hi-rise buildings
and they are usually damaged extensively by the tenants. After
awhile these buildings get demolished and single family houses
replace it. Housing should be built on the needs of the people and
not on a statistical basis.
Mr. Rullo asked Mr. Whittenberg if, before the April 18th Planning
Commission meeting, he could come up with any numbers that would
look like what we really should have in low/medium/moderate new
construction? Mr. Whittenberg said realistically no. Tentative
estimates only could be provided because there's no valid data
since the 1980 census on income levels and housing cost levels.
The Public Hearing was closed. The City Attorney reviewed the
issues discussed tonight, and possible actions of the Planning
comission to take an action this evening, or continue to April 11
or April 18 to allow staff to prepare appropriate amendments.
MOTION by Sharp to resubmit his prior and clarified motion.
MOTION WITHDRAWN for lack of a Second.
MOTION by Rullo; SECORD by Forsythe that the Public Hearing be
reopened and the Draft Housing Element be carried over to the April
18, 1990 Planning Commission meeting at 7:30 p.m.

COMMISSION CONCERNS
Chairman Sharp read a statement prepared by himself to be printed
in the newspaper:
Hr. Galen Ambrose, during the March 26th city Council meeting
when asked to identify the source of his allegations that
Bolsa Avenue was to be widened named me. He further said that
I was cautioned not to elaborate. I did not then, or at any
time, say Bolsa Avenue was going to be widened. At no time
has anyone ever stopped me from stating my position on an
issue before the Planning commission. (Signed/James Sharp,
Chairman. )
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Jerrv Anderson * 1301 Sandcicer. Seal Beach
Mr. Anderson expressed his continued dismay with the "doghouse"
near his home. Mr. Whittenberg advised that staff has been
discussed the matter with the City Attorney and they are continuing
their review. Mr. Barrow indicated the City Council has placed
this item on their agenda for April 9, 1990, so there will be
further discussion on this matter. The Council has instructed the
City Attorney's Office to investigate whether there's been any
misrepresentation on the part of the applicant, so it's not
appropriate to discuss that at this time. We will be giving a
report to the Council on April 9th or at a subsequent meeting.
Your comments and concerns should be given to Lee Whittenberg. The
Council wants another report from staff. You and your neighbors
could present your petition to the Council. Hr. Curtis said the
owner of the house is requesting it be put off until the Council
meeting of April 23 for religious reasons. This would be up to the
Council. Mr. Anderson asked ".. .but is it possible that we might
get that decision before 10:30 at night? Can that be said at the
start of the meeting?" Mr. Barrow said it's within the discretion
of the City Council. He suggested Mr. Anderson might also want it
continued two weeks until the homeowner could be present also.
Staff could recommend to the city Council that (1) the item be
continued and/or (2) an announcement be made at the beginning of
the meeting to request the Council address the issue at the
beginning of the meeting.
SCHEDULED MATTERS
There were no scheduled matters.

STAFF CONCERNS
3. CORDITIONAL USE PERMIT 3-90
909 OCEAN AVENUE * PAPA JOE'S PIZZA
staff Recort
Mr. curtis delivered the staff report. This is a request by Daniel
Schecter to continue operating as a walk-up/take-out restaurant (as
it has in the past) with the option of placing up to two (2) to
five (5) seating tables in the present waiting area of the
restaurant, enlarging the waiting/eating area up to 300 square
feet. By placing seating area in the restaurant this nullifies the
establishment of a walk-up/take-out restaurant and would require
the parking requirements for regular restaurants ... one parking
space for every 100 square feet of gross floor area. As it is now,
the restaurant is required to have one parking space for every 300
square feet of gross floor area (as a regular retail space would).
Staff is requesting guidance from the Commission on two options it
could pursue: (1) to allow no seating without the provision of one
space per 100 square feet of gross floor area; or (2) staff should
initiate a Zone Text Amendment which would allow a broader
definition of walk-up/take-out restaurants.
commission Comments
Mr. Sharp said he felt if they put in seating they should be
required to have the required amount of parking.
Mr. curtis said the issue here is whether, by putting one space in
the restaurant they should provide 9 additional parking spaces.
Or if the one table in the area adjacent to it should be the only
area considered restaurant and the rest of the area considered
retail. This request is unique because it does cater to beach
related foot traffic.
Mr. Rullo said we'd be opening another "can of worms". It's a
restaurant. If he puts one table in he needs 9 parking spaces.
McDonald's, for example, could break their area down into who's
standing and who's sitting.
Ms. Forsythe asked staff what the arrangement was when it was
Corky's. Mr. Curtis replied Corky's had in-lieu parking to the sum
of 8 parking spaces but he never officially participated in the
City's in-lieu program so the variance was nullified. There are
some delicatessens in Old Town (Old Town Wine & Gourmet) where the
seating area was considered restaurant space and the rest of the
building was considered retail. His in-lieu parking was only the
sum of 3 parking spaces because he only had 300 square "feet of
restaurant area. There is somewhat of a precedent for this
request.
-
.
.
Page 13 - Planninq commission Minutes of April 4, 1990
Mr. Sharp noted that business was two or three different businesses
within the same room rather than a one-owner business. Mr. Curtis
said that was correct. Mr. Sharp said that does not compare to
this request. Therefore, if they put the tables in they must
conform to the regulations. Hs. Forsythe said this could be a
"snowballing" effect.
Mr. Curtis aqreed this gave staff enough guidance.
***
5. 209 MAIN STREET * GREEN PEPPER RESTAURAHT
staff Renort
Mr. Curtis delivered the staff report from the Building Department
which deals specifically with 209 Main Street but raises a broader
issue. At the beginning of 1992 the State will require all non-
structurally reinforced buildings to be reinforced to meet seismic
safety requirements. As the ~ currently is written for non-
residential structures no structural alterations, remodels or
additions are allowed unless those alterations, remodels or
additions brings the building into complete conformity with the
~. Therefore, since the Green pepper's request doesn't bring
the buildinq into complete conformity with the ~, the proposed
modifications would not be allowed. Staff is recommending the
commission authorize staff to initiate a Zone Text Amendment to
allow non-residential structures to perform structural alterations,
whether seismic or safety related, which improve the structural
stability of such structures while not increasing the non-
conformity. This would not require them to brinq it into complete
conformance, which is very difficult in Old Town because they can't
meet the parking requirements.
Mr. Sharp asked if the Green Pepper's request would brinq it into
conformity with what the State will require in 1992? Hr. curtis
said if they were allowed to remodel it would. That would be the
purpose of the remodel. They are aSking to add square footage
also, which staff would recommend against. Mr. Sharp said he has
reservations about not just demolishing it again and starting over.
He also understands that would bring them parking problems.
Mr. Curtis said the Zone Text Amendment staff has in mind would
require a Conditional Use Permit. It would allow buildings to be
built as they were originally, while still meeting State seismic
requirements. It would allow the Commission review authority to
bring the building into conformity with the existing street-scape
on Hain street.
Ms. Forsythe asked staff what the existing street scape on Hain
Street is? Mr. curtis said at the present time there is no
architectural review board for the City and that would allow the

Planning Commission some architectural review authority, through
the Conditional Use Permit process.
Hr. Rullo and Ms. Forsythe said they would like staff to submit a
Zone Text Amendment to the Planning Commission. Hs. Forsythe said
she knows the Green Pepper is an old building but she would not
like to see the building change as it is somewhat of a landmark on
Main street.
