NEW BUSINESS
A. Oral Report on Proposed Changes to Edison Triangle
Jim Watson, 101 Main Street, Suite "A", stated that when the original
approva 1 s were recei ved for "Bay City" he promi sed to bri ng to the
Commission for their review and approval any changes from the original
approval. Currently, there is a proposal to delete the approved fish and
chips restaurant use and substitute "Mamacit's Restaurant." Revised
plans were given to the Commission showing the architectural changes to
the building, the revised roof lines and a redesign of the drive through.
Ed McNary, Newport Beach, the owner of the restaurant chain explained
the operational plans for his restaurant. Commissioner Knapp expressed
concerns about the hours of operation. Mr. McNary said that while he
would not be the operator of the restaurant, it is expected to close
approximately around 11 to 12 midnight.
The revised plans show three less parking spaces than the original.
However, since the project provides excess parking, the reduction causes
no concern. Staff will continue to monitor the project. The newly
proposed restaurant is smaller, almost identical in floor area and
location, as the original restaurant approved for the site.
The Commission was also updated regarding the currently known tenants of
the new development.
Knapp moved approval of the proposed changes to the project; seconded
by Leibert and unanimously approved.

The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
