18 Staff Report
19
20 Mr. Olivera delivered the staff report.
(Staff Report is on file for inspection in the Planning
21 He provided some background information on this item and noted that the
Department.)
22 University of Phoenix (UOP) wishes to establish a learning center within the Bixby Old
23 Ranch Business Park (BORBP) and noted that this business park is subject to the Bixby
24 Old Ranch Specific Plan, which permits the following land use categories:
25
26 Retail Service Commercial
27 Office Restaurant
28
29 He then explained that the current Zoning Chapter 28 allows educational and school
30 uses within the Public Land Use (PLU) Zone, and the zoning that would be closest to
31 this would be the CO Professional Office Zone, which allows medical and professional
32 office uses, financial uses, day nurseries, and also allows other similar uses when
33 determined by the Planning Commission (PC) to meet the intent of the zone and other
34 uses within that zone. He indicated the PC is asked tonight to determine whether this
35 educational use is consistent with other uses within this office park, and if this use
36 should be permitted by right or conditionally permitted.
37
38 Commissioner Questions
39
40 Chairperson Deaton asked if this type of use is addressed in the proposed new Zoning
41 Code (ZC). Mr. Whittenberg stated that this use is addressed and for other areas of the
42 City it would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP); however, under Specific Plans
43 (SP) the provisions of the regular ZC do not apply and the provisions of the SP would
44 take precedence. He noted that representatives from both the UOP and the Bixby Land
45 Company are present tonight to respond to questions.
3 of 11
City of Seal Beach Planning Commission
Meeting Minutes of July 9, 2008
1 Commissioner Bello inquired about what the student enrollment would be and the hours
2 for classes. Mr. Olivera reported that he understands that the UOP is primarily a “night
3 school” with enrollment of up to 150 students, with classes beginning after 5:00 p.m.,
4 which Staff believes would not create concerns with crowding or parking. He noted that
5 approximately 40-50 UOP Staff members would work on site from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
6 p.m. daily.
7
8 Commissioner Eagar noted that the Spaghettini Grill uses the BORBP lot for overflow
9 parking and he asked if student parking would have an impact on this. Mr. Olivera
10 stated that the business park has sufficient parking to accommodate the proposed
11 number of students and parking for Spaghettini Grill. Commissioner Eagar asked if the
12 Bixby Ranch Company has considered the traffic flow on this street. Mr. Olivera stated
13 that this question would have to be directed to the applicant. Chairperson Deaton
14 asked whether Spaghettini Grill had an agreement with the BORBP permitting the use
15 of the lot. Mr. Olivera indicated that the representative from Bixby could respond to this
16 question.
17
18 Commissioner Massa-Lavitt noted that when the business park SP was approved it
19 would have been for the square footage, the uses, and the total number of parking
20 spaces, no matter how they were spread. She commented that she has used the
21 overflow parking when visiting Spaghettini Grill. She then asked in which building the
22 UOP would be leasing space. Mr. Olivera stated that it would be in Building 3030
23 located on the northwest portion of the property.
24
25 Chairperson Deaton then asked the representatives from both the UOP and the Bixby
26 Land Company to come forward to respond to questions.
27
28 James Estrada, Director of Leasing for the Bixby Land Company, and Jeffrey Avelino,
29 the Director of Space and Logistics for the UOP Western Region, introduced
30 themselves. Mr. Avelino noted that with regard to traffic flow the 150 students would be
31 divided among 4 nights, so not all 150 would be attending on any single night.
32 Chairperson Deaton confirmed that there would be 6 classrooms, to which Mr. Avelino
33 responded that this was correct. Mr. Estrada stated that during discussion the UOP
34 also had concerns regarding parking for Spaghettini Grill, and Bixby Land Company has
35 agreed in the lease document that if there is a conflict with parking, they would create a
36 designated area along the left side of the property for student parking. Chairperson
37 Deaton confirmed that Bixby does have an agreement with Spaghettini for overflow
38 parking. Mr. Estrada stated that they do use the parking lot for valet parking.
39 Commissioner Eagar asked if parking lot security is to be provided for students
40 attending evening classes. Mr. Estrada stated that this is currently under negotiation
41 with UOP, but at this point they do not feel this is needed.
42
43 Commissioner Comments
44
45 Commissioner DeLay stated that he was very impressed with the rating given to UOP
46 by Snell & Wilmer Law Offices and believes that UOP will be a great addition to the City

19 Declaration 08-2 (MND 08-2). Receive and File Staff Report.
20
21 Staff Report
22
23 Mr. Whittenberg stated that the public review period for Draft Mitigated Negative
24 Declaration 08-2 is currently underway to evaluate the impacts of this particular sand
25 nourishment project, and is also being reviewed by the Planning Commission (PC) and the
26 Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB). He noted that the purpose for review is for
27 the PC and EQCB to provide comments, corrections, or concerns to Staff. He noted
28 that the PC would take no other action on this document as City Council (CC) will make
29 the final determination. He then explained that this is a federal sand nourishment
30 project that has occurred approximately every 5 years over the past 40 years. He noted
31 that due to the construction of the Navy jetties at Anaheim Bay, the federal breakwater
32 in Long Beach, and the channelization of the San Gabriel/Los Angeles rivers, the
33 federal government is required to nourish the beach at Surfside, as these federally-
34 funded projects have impacted the transport of sand from the San Gabriel Mountains
35 down to the beaches on a natural basis. He continued by stating that years ago the City
36 of Seal Beach took on the responsibility for maintaining its own beach, and because of
37 the construction of the above-noted jetties, the “east beach” between the pier and the
38 Navy jetty is scoured out on a regular basis primarily for winter storm activities, and
39 sand is lost and must be re-nourished on a regular basis to help protect beachfront
40 homes from storm damage. He indicated that the project will require that approximately
41 100,000 cubic yards of sand from the same location offshore as the Navy project be
42 pumped onto the beach. The Director of Development Services noted that the
43 environmental review shows that there would be very little impact, but if there is a
44 grunion run, operations are required to temporarily cease. He indicated that after
45 approval by CC the document must be approved by the California Coastal Commission

20 Staff Report
21
22 Mr. Olivera delivered the staff report.
(Staff Report is on file for inspection in the Planning
23 He provided some background information on this item and noted that
Department.)
24 Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 05-4 was granted for 24-hour operation of a drive-thru
25 pharmacy lane. He noted that the original approvals for alcohol sales occurred in 1986
26 when the store was a Skaggs Drugs located adjacent to the former Pavilions Market.
27 Since that time the store became a Sav-On Drugs and is now a CVS Pharmacy at the
28 new location of 921 Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). He stated that Staff has received no
29 comments either verbal of written in response to the public notice for this application
30 and Staff has spoken with Lt. Tim Olson of the Seal Beach PD who expressed no
31 reservations for granting the Indefinite Extension of CUP 05-4.
32
33 Commissioner Questions
34
35 Chairperson Deaton asked if no complaints at all had been received related to CVS.
36 Mr. Olivera stated that he did receive 1 or 2 calls regarding problems with
37 ingress/egress in the rear parking area adjacent to the loading dock when trucks are
38 parked there to unload stock. Chairperson Deaton asked if this issue could be
39 addressed tonight. Mr. Flower explained that what is before the PC tonight is the
40 Indefinite Extension of CUP 05-4, which covers only the 24-hour operation and the
41 drive-thru window for the pharmacy.
42
43 Commissioner Eagar asked if there is a time limit for sales of alcohol. Mr. Olivera
44 stated that the business is bound by Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) regulations,
45 which restrict alcohol sales between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.

9 Mark Fernandez of Fancher Development thanked Staff for the re-review of CUP 05-4.
10 He stated that CVS is not requesting changes to the proposed use or operation and
11 they are prepared to accept all conditions of approval as presented in Resolution 08-18.
12 He indicated that he was just made aware today of the concerns with the loading dock
13 and took some photographs of the area. (Mr. Fernandez distributed copies of the
14 photographs to the Commissioners.) He stated that when CUP 05-4 was originally
15 approved, the PC had requested mitigation measures for noise and CVS had
16 constructed an enclosure for the loading dock measuring approximately 67 feet long by
17 37 feet wide. He explained that in looking at the site and considering options to prevent
18 the obstruction of parking stalls, CVS was not able to come up with other options. He
19 stated that although they understand the problem, the deliver trucks are there for short
20 periods of time, but CVS is open to any recommendations from the PC and will convey
21 the information to the store manager. The Commissioners commented on what
22 appears to be a trash container inside the loading dock and questioned whether this
23 was preventing the trucks from fitting inside the loading dock. Mr. Fernandez stated
24 that this was a storage container and then introduced his associate, Jerry Taylor, who
25 stated that trucks can fit inside the loading dock next to this container. Chairperson
26 Deaton countered that she uses the laundromat on a regular basis and has experienced
27 difficulty when attempted to enter the parking lot when trucks are “hanging out” and
28 blocking the driveway and parking spaces. Commissioner Bello added that she has
29 also observed this and is surprised that the owners of the laundromat have not
30 complained. Mr. Taylor stated that CVS has received no complaints, but he can check
31 with the laundromat. He noted that trucks are able to back into the loading dock with
32 no problem. Chairperson Deaton noted that she has observed that the trucks are not
33 backing into the dock. Mr. Taylor said that he would ensure that the operations team is
34 having trucks back into the loading dock. Commissioner DeLay asked if CVS could use
35 smaller delivery trucks. Mr. Taylor stated that the CVS delivery trucks are a standard
36 size, as they make multiple stops at different CVS locations.

38 There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson Deaton closed the public

23 Staff Report
24
25 Mr. Olivera delivered the staff report.
(Staff Report is on file for inspection in the Planning
26 He provided some background information on this item and noted that
Department.)
27 when this item last came before the Planning Commission (PC) in April 2008, he had
28 conveyed some misinformation related to discussions with Alcohol and Beverage
29 Control (ABC) regarding the type of alcohol license to be granted to Vino Voyage. He
30 explained that when he contacted ABC in March 2008, he was told that the City could
31 place any conditions upon this application as determined appropriate, and these
32 conditions would be transferred to the alcohol license for Vino Voyage. He then noted
33 that after the meeting of April 9, 2008, he was told that ABC would be unable to issue a
34 permit for Vino Voyage based upon the conditions of approval as approved by the PC,
35 which prohibited the sale of beer. He explained that ABC does not issue a license that
36 permits wine sales only and the City would have to allow the sale of beer to some
37 degree in order to grant a license to Vino Voyage. Mr. Olivera the stated that this
38 application has returned before the PC to determine whether beer sales will be
39 permitted and noted the following proposed options for granting approval:
40
41 1. Permit the sale of beer only during private wine tasting parties.
42 2. Allow the sale of beer under certain restrictions.
43 3. Prohibit the sale of beer altogether, which would entail denial of Conditional Use
44 Permit (CUP) 08-3.

4 Public Hearing

6 Chairperson Deaton opened the public hearing.
7
8 Randy Maddix, owner of Vino Voyage, read from a prepared statement in which he
9 outlined his involvement with Vino Voyage, both as a consultant and now as the
10 business owner, and asked that approval of minimal requirements be granted so that he
11 can re-open for business. He explained that his business offers an ambiance and
12 sophistication where people can enjoy the fine art of wine tasting and will also offer
13 educational classes during the private tasting nights. He believes that the existing CUP
14 is restrictive enough to prevent future businesses from coming to this location and
15 turning it into an undesirable place. He recommended approval of CUP 08-3.
16 Chairperson Deaton asked Mr. Maddix which of the proposed options would work best
17 for him. Mr. Maddix stated that allowing 10 percent beer sales of total alcohol sales
18 would work best. Chairperson Deaton asked how this percentage would be tracked.
19 Mr. Maddix explained that they have an excellent accounting system that would easily
20 track this information and he could submit quarterly reports to the City.
21
22 Brendon _____, 1103 Seal Way, stated that he operates the Koi Restaurant and is
23 present to speak on behalf of Chris Bartlow, who is the new managing partner for Vino
24 Voyage. He stated that he has known and worked with him for many years and he is a
25 professional who is very knowledgeable about wines. He recommended approval of
26 CUP 08-3.
27
28 Seth Eaker also spoke in favor of approval of CUP 08-3 noting that a tasting room is not
29 a bar, but a high level, cultural, and epicurean experience providing the opportunity to
30 enrich and educate the community about wines.
31
32 There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairperson Deaton closed the public

43 Mr. Olivera noted that the hours of operation can be found in Resolution 08-19 under
44 the Conditions of Approval. Mr. Maddix explained that Vino Voyage would conduct
45 educational wine tastings on Mondays or Tuesdays. Private tastings would take place
46 on Thursday and Friday evenings in which wines from featured wineries would be
