PUBLIC HEARING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 8-85 - 12121 Seal Beach Blvd. Staff report, presented by Mr. Baucke, 1nd1cated that th1S 1tem was a request to adopt a Planned Slgn Program for the Rossmoor Bus1ness Center.

The slgn program also proposes spec1f1c des1gn standards for slgns w1th1n the Center. Mr. Baucke presented the facts of the subJect property to the Comm1ss1on along w1th spec1f1c slgn prOV1S1on code sect10ns and cond1t1onal use perm1t code sect1ons. He then presented a deta1led background of th1S 1tem to the Comm1ss1on for the purpose of expla1n1ng how the eX1st1ng Rossmoor Bus1ness Center slgns were constructed. A br1ef overV1ew of th1S lssue 1nd1cated that the maJor reason for th1S lssue be1ng before the Plann1ng Comm1ss1on at th1S t1me lS to formally legal1ze a Planned Slgn Program Wh1Ch was approved by staff w1thout leg1slat1ve approval. Mr. Baucke 1nd1cated that 1t was staff's request that the management of the Center apply for a CUP 1n order to . Plann1ng Comm1ss10n Meet1ng of July 17, 1985 Page 2 11egallZe" the Planned Slgn Program for the Center. It was staff's recommendat10n that the Comm1ss10n approve CUP 8-85 w1th the four cond1t10ns noted 1n the staff report. . Cha1rman Jessner declares the publ1C hear1ng open. Charles Vose, 1000 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, attorney represent1ng the Rossmoor Bus1ness Center, felt that staff had made some good p01nts relat1ng to th1S 1tem. There lS a good fa1th lssue be1ng dealt w1th here on the part of the Rossmoor Bus1ness Center, and Mr. Vose felt that the Center lS a maJor asset to the Commun1ty. He spoke 1n reference to the 1967 annexat10n agreement the Center had w1th the C1ty and the C1ty'S obl1gat10n 1n th1S. Mr. Vose 1nd1cated that because the Rossmoor Center wanted to establ1sh good fa1th efforts w1th the C1ty, the Center d1scussed a slgn program w1th C1ty staff and expended a cons1derable amount of t1me and money 1n th1S slgn program. He 1nd1cated to the Comm1ss10n that currently, there were 13 tenants 1n the Center w1thout slgns and a pylon slgn and readerboard were needed. Mr. Vose stated that th1S CUP appl1cat10n was be1ng f1led based on negot1at10ns w1th C1ty staff to work towards the establ1shment of an adopted slgn program. He referenced a part1cular sect10n of the staff report perta1n1ng to the d1stance of bU1ld1ngs from the street stat1ng that 1f the bU1ld1ngs 1n the Center were closer to the street, there would not be the need for as much slgnage. In add1t10n, he noted that the Center was not 1n agreement w1th staff's cond1t10n #1, "That pylon slgn #9 not be perm1tted as shown on the subm1tted plans.", and that pylon slgn #9 would follow the eX1st1ng slgnage. No Oppos1t10n had been rece1ved 1n regard to th1S. Mr. Vose then made h1mself ava1lable to the Comm1ss10n for any quest10ns. Mr. Stepan1c1ch, C1ty Attorney, asked Comm1ss10ner Cov1ngton 1f he would llke to absta1n from th1S publ1C hear1ng 1tem due to h1S pos1t10n w1th Town & Country Bank, a tenant of the Rossmoor Bus1ness Center. Mr. Stepan1c1ch's concern was a potent1al confl1ct of 1nterest due to the poss1b1l1ty of a potent1al f1nanc1al 1mpact on Town & Country Bank. It was the C1ty Attorney's recommendat10n that Mr. Cov1ngton absta1n from Comm1ss10n cons1derat10n and was so agreed by Mr. Cov1ngton. Staff 1nd1cated that the spec1f1c port10ns of slgn code went 1nto effect 1n January, 1979, and Comm1ss10ner Perr1n quest10ned Mr. Vose as to why a 32 ft. h1gh pylon slgn was approved when the slgn code allowed a 15 ft. maX1mum. Mr. Vose br1efly d1scussed the Center's deal1ngs w1th the C1ty 1n 1981 and 1982 and expla1ned that the end result of the1r d1Scuss10ns lS the eX1st1ng slgn program the Center now has. Mr. Vose 1nd1cated that the readerboard request was not for the purpose of add1t10nal slgnage, but for the Center as a whole, 1.e., announc1ng Commun1ty events. Mr. Hunt stated he was 1n favor of 1mproved slgnage for the Center. At th1S t1me, Comm1ss10ner Cov1ngton requested that he leave the Comm1ss10n for th1S publ1C hear1ng to become a part of the aud1ence as a pr1vate party. . Jay Cov1ngton, 4260 Dogwood, Seal Beach, spoke ne1ther 1n favor of nor 1n Oppos1t10n to th1S lssue. Mr. Cov1ngton stated that the Rossmoor Center and tenants of the Center spent approx1mately $100,000 to rebu1ld the eX1st1ng pylon slgns. He stated that what the Comm1ss10n had before them ton1ght was not a request to legal1ze a Planned Slgn Program but to approve an upgraded Planned Slgn Program that has had 2 years spent 1n t1me and effort. Mr. Cov1ngton 1nd1cated to Mr. Perr1n that the pylon slgns were Plannlng Commlsslon Meetlng of July 17, 1985 . Page 3 already 32 ft. hlgh and nothlng was granted at that tlme greater than what was eXlstlng. Mr. Covlngton concluded that the overall plan was a beneflt to both the Clty and the Rossmoor Buslness Center. Charles Antos, 316 10th Street, Seal Beach, lndlcated to the Commlsslon that lnformatlon the Commlsslon had recelved In the staff report was lnaccurate and that the slgn ordlnance dld not go lnto effect In 1979, but what dld go lnto effect was only the amortlzatlon perlod. He dlscussed the Rossmoor Buslness Center's slgn program and lndlcated that at the tlme the slgn program lssue orlglnated, the Rossmoor Buslness Center was approached by Plannlng Dlrector, N1Ck Romanlello, and lnformed that they had 5 years In WhlCh to come lnto conformance. There was a lot of dlScusslon between the Clty and the Center on the slgn program. Mr. Antos lndlcated that the Center's feellng at that tlme was that due to thelr annexatlon agreement, they would not have to meet the requlrements, but thlS was an opportunlty to brlng the Center lnto conformance. Mr. Antos then presented a background of thlS lssue at the tlme he was an Assoclate Planner of the Clty of Seal Beach. Greg Stepanlclch, Clty Attorney, dlscussed wlth the Commlsslon the legal aspects of the annexatlon agreement between the Center and the Clty. In hlS oplnlon, he felt that thlS agreement would not be enforceable In court as the Center contended. In addltlon, there was a problem wlth antl-trust llablllty In favorlng one buslness In the Clty over another buslness. If Rossmoor Center was lmmunlzed from complYlng wlth all new zonlng regulatlons, other buslnesses In the Clty posslbly could brlng legal actlon. Charles Vose spoke agaln referenclng the background of thlS ltem. In the Center's opln;on, an lnformal agreement was reached wlth the Clty staff In 1980, but the Center dld deal wlth the Clty In good falth and dld recelve bUlldlng permlts. Now, the Clty lS requestlng that they legallze somethlng that the Center already feels lS legal based on past actlons. The Center has a vested rlght In the eXlstlng slgnage. Mr. Vose concluded that In the oplnlon of the Rossmoor Center, what lS belng presented tonlght lS the best proposal. Charles Antos requested clarlflcatlon from the Clty Attorney In reference to the lllegal slgnage. Mr. Antos stated that the slgns became non-conformlng when the slgn code changed, and the lllegal aspect of thlS lS that the former Plannlng Dlrector and Clty Manager approved thlS slgn program and lssued bUlldlng permlts In error. Mr. Stepanlclch lndlcated that these slgns became lllegal when the 5 year amortlzatlon perlod explred as wlth any other non-conformlng slgns In the Clty, speclflcally restatlng that the annexatlon agreement does not preclude the compllance wlth the Munlclpal Code In regards to slgns. Steve Frledman, 142 Maln St., stated he was not In Opposltlon to the Center but dld reference equal appllcatlon of the law pertalnlng to thlS lssue. Charles Antos, requested that he be lnformed of any staff reports that pertaln to actlons taken durlng hlS term of employment. No other members of the audlence spoke In favor of nor In Opposltlon to thlS ltem. Chalrman Jessner closed the publlC hearlng. D1Scusslon contlnued between the Commlsslon, staff and the Clty Attorney. Mr. Stepanlclch asked the appllcant lf Town & Country Bank lS to be lncluded In thelr appllcatlon. Charles Vose, stated that there would be no problem wlth acceptlng Town & Country Bank as part of the appllcatlon. The Clty Attorney and staff amended condltlon #4 to read as follows: "That the Rossmoor Bowl and Town & Country Bank tenant slgns be lncluded wlthln the appllcatlon due to thelr apparent attempt at complYlng wlth the prlor Clty staff's unauthorlzed Planned Slgn Program and ltS request to be lncluded In thlS leglslatlVe process.". . . . . .

Staff noted that as a result of the quest10ns ra1sed at the June 19, 1985 Plann1ng Comm1ss1on Meet1ng, staff 1nvest1gated the matter and found that the new owners of the llquor store had 1ndeed appl1ed for a C1ty Bus1ness L1cense on January 10, 1985, and pursuant to the Comm1ss1onls request, staff had contacted the ownersh1p and encouraged them to attend the July 17, 1985 Plann1ng Comm1sslon Meet1ng. Cha1rman Jessner declares the publ1C hear1ng now open. Rasheed Sadedd1n, 462 Pac1flc Coast Hwy.., new ownwer of West Beach L1quor, spoke 1n reference to the1r appl1cat1on for a C1ty Bus1ness L1cense. Mr. Sadedd1n stated that he was not aware that they needed to comply w1th all requ1rements due to the fact that West Beach L1quor has been an eX1st1ng llquor store for the past 8 years. Mr. Sadedd1n expla1ned to the Comm1ss1on the delays 1nvolved 1n the1r appl1cat1on of a cond1tional use permlt. Mr. Jessner clar1f1ed w1th Mr. Sadedd1n that all requ1rements were now understood and the CUP process was clear. Mr. Sadedd1n stated that he understands and approves the 8 cond1t1ons recommended by staff 1n the staff report.

The Clty Attorney noted that hlS reVlew of the ordlnance showed a potentlal argument that the ordlnance confllcted wlth the land use element of the General Plan WhlCh could extend the economlC llfe of a non-conformlng property for a slgnlflcant length of tlme In contlnuance of a sltuatlon greater than that allowed In the General Plan.

The second ltem was Councll's proposal to delete the parklng requlrement for maJor lnterlor remodellng and lnstructlng the Plannlng Commlsslon to draft gUldellnes allowlng flexlblllty but would be applled unlformly to all cases. Charles Antos, 316 10th Street, Seal Beach, spoke In reference to Item 2 requlrlng the removal of 50% or more of the structure's lnterlor bearlng walls. Joe Rlbal, 1215 Seal Way spoke In reference to the example presented by staff referenclng maJor lnterlor remodels. He stated that only In a mlnorlty of cases would thlS partlcular prOV1Slon apply. Robert Cook, 441 Central Ave.,. Seal Beach, spoke In reference to the non-conformlng resldentlal propertles. He felt that the Commlsslon lS engaged In a futlle effort on thlS lssue. Mr. Cook also lndlcated that he felt the varlance process should be used to reVlew each partlcular ltem that comes before the Commlsslon on a case-by-case basls WhlCh proposes to not provlde the parklng. Mr. Covlngton moved that the parklng prOV1Slon as proposed by the Commlsslon be recommended to be retalned due to the fact that thlS lnstance would be a rare occurrance. Mr. Rlpperdan seconds.

He lndlcated that a survey of other cltles showed that lt was found to be a general norm for those few cltles allowlng addltlons to non-conformlng propertles. Mr. Baucke also lndlcated the lnequallty . . . Plannlng CommlSSlon Meetlng of July 17, 1985 Page 6 of the 300 sq. ft. llmltatlon on larger propertles and then recommended that the 300 sq. ft. llmltatlon be removed..

Joe Rlbal, spoke In reference to the 10% expanSlon of allowable floor area under Sectlon 28-2407 A.3.a. He felt that the people who want to lmprove thelr property should not be penallzed because of those who have bootleg propertles. He stated that the Commlsslon should focus more on the lllegal unlts and be less concerned wlth the people who want to lmprove thelr propertles. Robert Cook, 441 Central Ave., Seal Beach, stated that many of the people feel they bear the problems that other property owners have created. CommlSSloner Covlngton stated that the requlrement for parklng up to code be retalned for maJor addltlons or lmprovements whlch would lncrease the number of bedrooms based on the premlse that the potentlal lncrease In denslty and lntenslty could result In lmpacts on other propertles.
