Covington (arrived at 7:45 p.m.) Commissioner Perrin Edward Knight. Director of Development Services G. K. Bennington. Secretary to City Manager Absent: Also Present: . REPORT FROM SECRETARY Mr. Knight indicated that each of the Commissioners had received a memo regarding background on urgency disaster clause. He stated staff will be scheduling a public hearing for this matter on December 3. 1986. This resulted from a request from the Old Town Residents Homeowners Association which approached the Council in 9ctober to have the City study the disaster clause as it currently exists in the zoning ordinance and also look at adopting an interim ordinance that would allow them to rebuild their units as they exist if destroyed by flooding during the winter months. The City attorney has prepared a draft ordinance reflecting that which would go into effect. if adopted. from November 10. 1986 to July I. 1987. The Planning Commission would hold a public hearing on December 3rd to provide a report for Council meeting on December 8th. CONSENT CALENDAR Commissioner Sharp moves to approve Resolution #1443. which reflects Planning Commission denial of Variance 15-86 on November 5. 1986; Suggs seconds. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Jessner. Sharp. Suggs None Covington. Perrin Motion Carried PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2-86 - 99 MARINA DRIVE - CHEVRON USA . Mr. Knight indicated this CUP 2-86 was a request from Chevron USA to authorize modifications to an existing oil extraction facility in order to upgrade and modernize their outmoded equipment. This was last heard on August 4. 1986 when the Planning Commission rejected the proposed Negative Declaration and ordered the preparation of an environmental impact report. Since that date, no further action has taken place by Chevron to start the environmental process. CEQA guidelines require the City to complete the environmental process within a one year period. This particular project should have been completed by December 1986. Staff is recommended denial of CUP 2-86 without prejudice . which allows the applicant 'to restart the project where it left off and not completely reinvent the entire project. This denial without prejudice can be accomplished by adoption of Resolution #1409 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF , SEAL BEACH, DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2- 86, A REQUEST TO MODIFY AND MODERNIZE AN EXISTING OIL FILTRATION, EXTRACTION FACILITY LOCATED AT 99 MARINA DRIVE. \ Chairman Jessner declared the public hearing open. Patricia Kenner, 311 Spinnaker Way, stated she felt an environmental impact report should be filed as this is a project that could have a strong impact on the neighborhood, especially the park. As no others spoke in favor nor in opposition to this matter, Chairman Jessner closed the public hearing. Commissioner Sharp moves to adopt Resolution #1409; Suggs seconds. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Covington, Jessner, Sharp, Suggs None Perrin Motion Carried . PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 18-86 - 231 14TH ST. - BURNS Mr. Knight indicated there was no action needed at this time for CUP 18-86. The applicants have opted to bring the property into full conformance. SCH~DULED MATTERS - PLAN REVIEW 25-86 - 1215-1/2 SEAL WAY Mr. Knight indicated this Plan Review is submitted by Joe Ribal who is asking for a height deviation of 6 ft. to an addition of a covered stairway and atrium to a nonconforming duplex. ZTA 1-84 provides for these minor height deviations. Staff followed procedure involved with this and owners within a 300 foot radius have been notified. Staff was able to make the 3 findings for approving this plan review as indicated in staff report. This was brought primarily to the Commission due to 2 concerns, stated Mr. Knight: 1) The covered stairway, referred to as doghouse is usually permitted by right under the code. The nonconformity of the site requires Commission approval for minor structural addition. The second concern was the size of the doghouse and atrium. These areas measure 132 sq. ft. It was felt it was appropriate to bring to the Commission and point these concerns out. Staff is recommended approval with the condition the "the 4"'6" by 6'" opening in the floor of the proposed doghouse shall remain as indicated in the approved plans so as to prevent the structure from providing habitable area. Any changes to this design shall be subject to'Planning Commission review and approval." . Commissioner Covington suggested the addition of "any subsequent changes" be added to t.he condition or as a covenant to the title. Staff was primarily concerned that the atrium could be converted to habitable space in the future. . -_. .-- .... . .. - ~.... . . Mr. Joe Ribal, 1215-1/2 Seal Way, made himself available for questions. He stated the project really is a project to enhance the appearance of the building and within the framework of what is possible under ZTA 2-84. The concept of the atrium is important to the plan and Mr. Ribal hoped that it would be approved. Mr. Ribal indicated he agreed with the condition as noted in the staff report. The Commission discussed the design concept in full, the possibly of heat loss, similar designs on other homes in Old Town. Commissioner Sharp moved to grant Plan Review 2-86, with the amended condition to include "any subsequent changes as suggested by Commissioner Covington; Covington seconds.
