Th1S 1tem was a request to extend the hours of sale of alcohol1c beverages for an eX1st1ng restaurant. Mr. Baucke noted that the appl1cant had spec1f1cally requested the Comm1ss1on to amend Cond1t1on #7 of Resolut1on #1326 to allow the hours of operat1on from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. w1th the resultant sale of alcohol1c beverages to 2:00 a.m. Staff recommended the approval of the mod1f1cat1on to Cond1t1on #7 of Resolut1on #1326 to read as follows: "No sale of alcohol1c beverages after 1:30 a.m. or before 6:00 a.m.". Cha1rman Jessner declares the publ1C hear1ng open ask1ng the Comm1ss1on 1f there were any quest10ns of the appl1cant. As no members of the aud1ence spoke 1n favor of nor 1n Oppos1t1on to th1S 1tem, Cha1rman Jessner closed the publ1c hear1ng.

Page 3 bUlldlng wlthout provldlng the requlred parklng and landscaplng. Mr. Baucke outllned the facts relatlng to the subJect property and presented the varlOUS Code Sectlons pertalnlng to thlS request. Mr. Baucke presented Exhlblt "A", a deslgn proposal plan for 323 Maln Street. Staff recommended approval of Varlance 9-85 subJect to condltlons #1-#8 as noted In the staff report. Mr. Perrln questloned staff In that there was no reference made to In- lleu parklng pertalnlng to 323 Maln St. Mr. Baucke lndlcated that there was no lncluslon of In-lleu parklng due to the fact that staff felt that lf there lS any way of physlcally accompllshlng addltlonal parklng wlthln the lmmedlate area, those measures would be taken and an In-lleu parklng requlrement would be a last resort. Mr. Covlngton dlscussed wlth staff the Clty Attorney's comment In reference to the fact ~hat thlS would be the flrst request for a parklng varlance Slnce the Task 'Force Commlttee study that has not requlred the landowner, once the varlance was granted, to agree as part of the condltlons of the varlance, that any mlsslng spaces would be provlded on the terms of the In-lleu parklng program once adopted. Mr. Baucke lndlcated to the Commlsslon that what staff proposed In thlS partlcular appllcatlon lS that by removlng 2 drlveways, you obtaln 4 on- street parklng spaces WhlCh provldes for the In-lleu parklng. Mr. Hunt noted that what the appllcant was essentlally asklng was to enclose an already covered patlo, and asked staff what the appllcant has agreed to do In a good falth effort. Mr. Baucke lndlcated that the appllcant had proposed to provlde some addltlonal landscaplng . Mr. Jessner declared the publlC hearlng open. . James Hagel, 323 Maln St., Seal Beach, appllcant, stated that all he wanted to do was enclose ~he backporch of hlS property to provlde for addltlonal storage space. He noted that there was a lack of storage space on the property and thlS was not conduclve to a good worklng enVlronment. Mr. Hagel provlded a background to the Commlssloners of the property lmprovements he has made over the past few years. He also presented a photograph of the property to the Commlsslon statlng that thlS property was an asset to the Communlty. Mr. Hagel stated that In trYlng to ellmlnate thelr backporch, the Plannlng Department was asklng them to glve up thelr Maln Street access. Mr. Hagel presented an off-street parklng survey WhlCh he had complled and dlscussed the statlstlcs wlth the Commlsslon. He felt that hlS sltuatlon was unlque because the average number of spaces per buslness on Maln Street lS 2.13, and he was offerlng 10 on-slte spaces. Mr. Hagel also noted staff's proposal requested that they provlde a hedge or a type of screenlng fOllage In front of the property and he was not In agreement wlth staff's request. Mr. Hagel stated that staff's proposal was not In agreement wlth hlS nelghbor In reference to provldlng a reclprocal access agreement. H1S nelghbor would obJect to hlS galnlng the rlght to drlve over her property and she would most llkely take some sort of legal actlon agalnst hlm. Mr. Covlngton felt that staff's proposal would glve the appllcant a permanent Solutlon to the parklng problem on hlS property. D1Scusslon contlnued between the appllcant, the Commlsslon and staff In reference to a posslble compromlse In the plans. Mr. Perrln stated that lt would appear to be to the beneflt of the appllcant and the Clty to malntaln the curb cut farthest from Paclflc Coast Hwy. Mr. Jessner commented that on two separate Plann1ng Comm1ss1on Meet1ng of August 21, 1985 Page 4 . occass1ons, he had passed the subJect property and noted that only one- half of the ava1lable park1ng was be1ng ut1l1zed. Mr. Jessner presented an alternat1ve sketch to staff Wh1Ch would prov1de for the same park1ng layout 1n front, el1m1nate one curb cut, prov1de for a street tree and 2 add1t1onal on-street park1ng spaces. Mr. Baucke rev1ewed th1S sketch 1nd1cat1ng that staff's number one obJect1ve 1S to el1m1nate as many curb cuts as poss1ble. Mr. Perr1n stated that he was 1n agreement w1th staff's recommendat1on and 1f Cond1t1on #1 referenc1ng the rec1procal access agreement w1th the ne1ghbor1ng property owner could not be made, then he would l1ke to see the curb cut made farthest from Pac1f1c Coast Hwy. D1Scuss1on cont1nued between the appl1cant and the Comm1ss1on referenc1ng the 3 1n-l1eu park1ng spaces and the proposed landscape. Mr. Hagel asked the Comm1ss1on 1f they would be w1ll1ng to comprom1se w1th 2 1n-l1eu park1ng spaces 1nstead of 3. Mr. R1pperdan stated he would agree to a request such as th1S, and Mr. Hunt asked staff 1f there was an opt1on to do so. Mr. Baucke stated that th1S would conf11ct w1th past act1ons. Mr. Hagel stated that 1n reference to the 1andscap1ng, he was prepared to work w1th staff 1n any way to rearrange the eX1st1ng planters. As no other members spoke 1n favor of nor 1n Oppos1t1on to th1S 1tem, Cha1rman Jessner closed the pub11c hear1ng. . Mr. R1pperdan moves to approve Var1ance 10-85 w1th the fo110w1ng cond1t1ons: 1) E11m1nate 2 dr1veways Subst1tut1ng one on the souths1de a110w1ng 2 d1agona1 park1ng spaces, keep1ng the southern most dr1veway, 2) Leave the park1ng on the bU11d1ng s1de, 3) Put a planter approx1mate1y 2t' w1de on the souths1de of the park1ng lot and the tree tubs on the norths1de of the lot w1th no planters, 4) AdJust1ng the back of the property so to have access down the s1dewa1k to the back park1ng lot, the sta1rway, and to the door and the power panels,S) Prov1de a trash enclosure and 6) The 1n-11eu park1ng prOV1S1ons be 1nvoked when passed by C1ty Counc1l. Mr. Cov1ngton stated that all staff's cond1t1ons w111 apply 1n add1t1on to the cond1t1ons g1ven by Mr. R1pperdan. Mr. Hunt asked Mr. R1pperdan 1f rather than go 1nto deta11 on the p1ant1ng, that the app11cant agree to work out the landscape plan w1th staff subsequent to d1Scuss1on here ton1ght, and Mr. R1pperdan concurred w1th th1S. Mr. Baucke noted that the Mun1c1pa1 Code requ1res that the 1andscap1ng be permanent 1n nature and that Mr. R1pperdan's cond1t1on #3 referenc1ng the tree tubs would be 1n v101at1on of Code. Therefore, Mr. Hunt's proposal to e11m1nate the deta11 of the landscape would be acceptable. Mr. Cov1ngton then seconds the mot1on. . Cha1rman Jessner requested c1ar1f1cat1on of the mot1on made by request1ng that each of the cond1t1ons as proposed by staff be d1scussed. Mr. R1pperdan noted the cond1t1ons as follows: 1) El1m1nate Cond1t1on #1 and Subst1tute the 1n-l1eu park1ng prOV1S1on for 3 spaces. Cond1t1on #1 w111 st111 eX1st but w1l1 be replaced w1th th1S Subst1tute. 2) Cond1t1on #2 to rema1n as proposed. 3) Cond1t1on #3 to rema1n as proposed. 4) Amend Cond1t1on #4 to read: "That the development be 1n accordance w1th the s1te plan Plann1ng Comm1SS1on Meet1ng of August 21, 1985 . Page 5 presented to staff and subsequently approved by the Plann1ng Comm1ss1on.". 5) Mod1fy Cond1t1on #5 to read: "That a deta1led landscape and 1rr1gat1on plan wh1ch 1ncorporates the landscape areas be cons1stent w1th the comments and the publ1C hear1ng rece1ved by the Plann1ng Comm1ss1on and be approved by the D1rector of Development Serv1ces.". 6) Cond1t1on #6 to rema1n as proposed. 7) That the northern eX1st1ng dr1veway be removed and the s1dewalk area front1ng the property be removed and replaced w1th a decorat1ve s1dewalk treatment per the approval of the C1ty Eng1neer. 8) Cond1t1on #8 to rema1n as proposed. Due to the fact ~hat staff d1d not have Resolut1on #1389 before the Comm1ss1on for approval, Mr. Baucke 1nd1cated that staff would br1ng the s1te plan (as negot1ated w1th the appl1cant) along w1th the Resolut1on back to the Comm1ss1on for the1r cons1derat1on. Mr. R1pperdan concurred w1th th1S as a part of h1S mot1on. Mr. Cov1ngton seconds the mot1on. Var1ance 10-85 1S approved as amended. AYES: NOES: Cov1ngton, Hunt, Jessner, Perr1n, R1pperdan None Mot1on Carr1ed . PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT 6-85 Staff report presented by Mr. Baucke, 1nd1cated that th1S 1tem was a request to amend the Mun1c1pal Code prOV1S1ons perta1n1ng to construct1on to conform1ng and non-conform1ng bU1ld1ngs located 1n D1str1ct III, Surfs1de. Mr. Baucke presented a br1ef background to the Comm1ss1on of staff's act10ns taken 1n reference to th1S amendment, and staff recommended that the Plann1ng Comm1ss1on approve ZTA 6-85 by adopt1on of Negat1ve Declarat10n 7-85 and the adopt1on of Resolut1on #1390. . Mr. Hunt asked staff 1f there was any chance of controversy w1th Surfs1de on th1S 1ssue and 1f the Board of D1rectors of Surfs1de Colony represented the maJor1ty. Mr. Baucke stated that th1S would affect the older structures 1n Surfs1de. Mr. R1pperdan asked what the maJor non-conform1t1es were 1n Surfs1de. Mr. Baucke 1nd1cated that 1t was the park1ng and the setback requ1rements. Mr. Hunt quest10ned staff 1f the property owners 1n Surfs1de who obJect to th1S proposal have an opportun1ty to present the1r obJect1ons to the Board of D1rectors. Mr. Baucke 1nd1cated that 1t was h1S understand1ng that each property owner automat1cally becomes a member of the assoc1at1on 1n Surfs1de, but that the1r part1c1pat1on 1n any assoc1at1on was up to the 1nd1v1dual property owner. Mr. Jessner asked staff 1f there was any type of not1ce sent to the Surfs1de homeowners regard1ng th1S proposed Zon1ng Text Amendment due to the fact that there were not any members of the aud1ence present from Surfs1de. Mr. Baucke stated he was unaware as to whether or not the Board has not1f1ed the property owners, but the legal not1ce requ1rement for zon1ng text amendment had been made and that the C1ty had not 1nd1v1dually not1f1ed each of the property owners. Mr. Cov1ngton asked staff 1f the proposed changes were cons1stent w1th State Code and w1th the recent ZTA adopted 1n reference to non-conform1ng bU1ld1ngs. Mr. Baucke 1nd1cated that the proposed changes for Surfs1de w1ll be more restr1ct1ve as 1n what the C1ty of Seal Beach had pr10r to the adopt1on of ZTA 2-84. Mr. Cov1ngton felt that the Comm1ss1on should be presented w1th a report by staff outl1n1ng the part1cular eX1st1ng cond1t1ons w1th1n Surfs1de and related safety 1ssues so to enable the Comm1ss1oners to reV1ew th1S 1tem 1n order to Just1fy mak1ng a decls10n on th1S Zon1ng Text Amendment. Plann1ng Comm1ss1on Meet1ng of August 21, 1985 . Page 6 Mr. Hunt concurred w1th Mr. Cov1ngton to postpone th1S 1tem unt1l substant1ated data 1S subm1tted. Mr. Perr1n suggested that staff contact Joe Rullo once aga1n and request that he be present at the next meet1ng d1scuss1ng th1S 1ssue. Mr. Jessner was concerned that should th1S 1tem be approved ton1ght, there may be several Surfs1de homeowners unaware of th1S proposal and w1thout the opportun1ty to g1ve publ1c test1mony. Cha1rman Jessner declares the publ1C hear1ng now open. No members of the aud1ence spoke 1n favor of nor 1n Oppos1t1on to th1S 1tem, and Cha1rman Jessner closed the publ1C hear1ng.

Staff recommended that the Plann1ng Comm1ss1on concur w1th the Counc1l's proposal to adopt the rev1sed ord1nance. Mr. Baucke made h1mself ava1lable for any quest1ons. Mr. Cov1ngton and Mr. Baucke d1scussed the mod1f1cat1ons made to the ord1nance by the C1ty Attorney and the safety 1ssue from a traff1c standpo1nt as to the placement of a wall, fence, hedge or screen plant1ng. Mr. Baucke noted that 1f the fence meets the requ1rements of the Un1form BU1ld1ng Code and the proposed zon1ng code amendment, there should not be a safety quest1on. Mr. Jessner asked 1f any members of the aud1ence w1shed to speak 1n reference to th1S 1tem. No members of the aud1ence came forward to speak. Mr. Hunt moves that the Plann1ng Comm1ss1on approve the rev1sed ord1nance as proposed by the C1ty Counc1l. Mr. Cov1ngton seconds.

Mr. Cov1ngton 1nd1cated that the General Plan was des1gned 1n the late 1960's, and 1t was h1S recommendat1on that the Comm1ss1on ask staff to reV1ew, for the second meet1ng 1n September, and present the1r 1mput and recommendat1ons for 1n1t1at1ng a complete reV1ew of the General Plan. Mr. Baucke 1nd1cated that the hous1ng element 1S the most recent amendment to the General Plan. In reference to land use, the Hellman property 1n 1978 was the most recent. As far as a comprehens1ve reV1ew, rewr1te or update, the C1ty Counc1l concurred that th1S was an 1tem they were w1ll1ng to budget for th1S year. Mr. Baucke concurred w1th Mr. Cov1ngton Plannlng Commlsslon Meetlng of August 21, 1985 Page 7 . that the General Plan could be found to be lnconslstent and qUlte vague In many areas. Mr. Jessner suggested a reVlew of the General Plan from a legal standpolnt. Mr. Hunt lndlcated that In the past several weeks, there have been a number of artlcles that he has read and televlslon programs regardlng mlnl-markets In the Los Angeles and Orange County areas that are gasollne statlons and markets that sell alcohol as well. To hlS knowledge, we have none of these markets In Seal Beach. Mr. Baucke lndlcated that the Munlclpal Code sectlons deallng wlth automotlve serVlce statlons In thlS area are very restrlctlve. Mr. Hunt stated that he strongly supported leglslatlve measures taken opposlng the sale of gasollne and alcohol at the same locatlon. . ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Charles Antos, 316 10th Street, Seal Beach, spoke In reference to Mr. Hunt's comment on the comblned sale of alcohol and gasollne at the same locatlon. He lndlcated that the Plannlng Commlsslon and Clty Councll declded a number of years ago that gas statlons should be separate and dlstlnct from other uses.
