Commlss1on Commentary
Mr. Rullo asked where thelr 'grandfathered parklng space'
was? Ms. Massa-Lavltt explalned that space eXlsted prlor
to the current parklng code. The old parklng codes dld not
requlre thls number of parklng spaces. The space does not
eXlst but they get credlt for It.
Mr. Flfe asked to have Condltlon #6 reworded. Speclflcally
to delete the words "dlsplay devlces". He noted the
CommlSSlon has sald there wll1 be no alcohollC beverage
dlsplay advertlslng In wlndows. Mr. Suggs sald hlS concerns
lS that there are slgns allover town advertlsing certaln
beers, Wlnes etc. and asked lf we are gOlng to enforce lt or
not? Mr. Sharp sald ... the ordinance should probably be
changed or reworded because we have a lot of people that are
not followlng lt untl1 then this wordlng has to be
lncluded.
MOTION by Rullo to approve Condl tlonal Use Perml t 5-89, by the
adoptlon of Resolutlon No. 1545, with a change to Condltlon #6 so
lt wll1 read "6. That there shall be no alcoholic beverage

RESOLUTION No. 1546
(MOBIL OIL CORP.)
Sandra Massa-Lavltt dellvered the staff report. The appllcant,
Mobil 011 Corporatlon, lS requestlng reconslderatlon of the
orlglnal condltlons of approval for CUP 9-88. This was a request

include a snack shop/general serVlce buildlng, three (3) fuellng
lslands, SlX (6) mul tl-hose dlspensers and a COln operated car

were condltlons of approval put In place. Condition #10 read:
10. Prlor to lssuance of any permlt, the appllcant
shall produce a lease agreement or other legally
blndlng devlce, from the owners of the access easement
located at the southerly property llke grantlng a

cause reV1Slons to the slte plan, WhlCh shall be
consldered by the Plannlng Cornrnisslon as an amendment
to thlS CUP at a dully notlced PubllC Hearing.
tI'
Mobll 011 has been unable to obtaln the permanent lngress/egress
at Rossmoor Way. The Clty'S Englneerlng Department has revlewed
the plan wlthout Condltlon #10 and feels that the two entrles off
Seal Beach Blvd. would adequately serve thls faclllty In the
event the access off Rossmoor Way would be ellmlnated.
Staff recommends approval of CUP 6-89 wlth its fourteen (14)
condltlons In place through the adoptlon of Resolutlon No. 1546.
Staff noted that Condltlon #4.A. has been accompllshed by the
Clty and can be deleted:
4. The appllcant shall comply wlth the Clty Englneer's
recommendatlons as follows:
A. Remove the eXlsting lSland/ralsed medlan
(approxlmately 4' x 11') on the north slde of
Rossmoor Center Way and Seal Beach Boulevard.
The Cornrnlsslon's concern regardlng lf the access to Rossmoor Way
was ever ellmlnated permanently what would happened? The
property owner wlll corne In wlth a development plan at some tlme,
the gas statlon eXlsts, there is an access there. The Cornrnlsslon
can be assured that the new Plannlng Dlrector wlll be very aware
of that access pOlnt and wlll preserve 1 t as good planning
practlce.

Chairman Sharp noted 1t would be a real hardsh1p on the
bus1nesses 1f that access were to be closed because southbound
cars could not get to the Sav1ngs & Loan that 1S serviced by that
street. Staff sa1d that because a s1gnal 11ght 1S there the
property owner would most 11ke1y develop someth1ng at that end
that 1S des1gned around the s1gnal 11ght so they don't have to
pay to remove 1t.
Mr. F1fe asked 1f B1Xby restr1cted access to the two eX1st1ng
entr1es 1nto th1s property 1S 1t possible to access the property
V1a the dr1veway? Does the carwash absolutely depend on access
from Rossmoor Center Way? Staff said 1t appears that way.
Pub11C Hear1ng Opened
Br1an Rechste1ner * 9891 V1cksburg. Hunt1ngton Beach
Mr. Rechste1ner, represent1ng Mob11 011, stated the carwash does
not depend only on those two dr1veways. If those dr1veways were
removed Mob1l 011 operate off Seal Beach Blvd. There 1S enough
room (at the most southerly 1s1and) for a car to park and another
car to dr1ve around. The pay telephone booth will be e1ther
removed completely or relocated.
-
Mob11 011 has a 11cense agreement but 1t can be terminated at
B1Xby's w111. That is the problem w1th Condit10n #10 ... they
w111 not g1ve Mob1l an easement agreement.
Regard1ng Cond1tion #14, Mob11 011 feels this 1S
between the alarm company and the franchised owner.

Staff adv1sed Mr. Rechste1ner to adv1se the dealer to pay the
mon1es owed to the C1ty Po11ce Department. The Po11ce Department
w1l1 g1ve the Plann1ng Department a copy of that rece1pt.
Cond1t10n #14 will be removed upon payment.
James Walker * 3562 Ke~pton Dr1ve. Los Alam1tos
Mr. Walker sa1d he opposed Mob11 011's reconstruct10n and entered
a letter for the Record (attached). He sa1d he has never
rece1ved a not1ce before th1s C1ty notice (rece1ved 7/23/89).
e
Mr. F1fe asked 1f the var10US agencys that were 100k1ng to the
applicant to get letters of non-obJect10n ... procedurally are
they requ1red to act? Are they mandated to reply? Ms. Massa-
Lav1tt sa1d they are not. If they don't, they are unenforceable
cond1tions. The necessary perm1ts that the app11cant w111
