The Director of Development Services stated the request before the Council is consideration to resub-divide the Leisure World shopping center on the comer of Seal Beach Boulevard and Westminster Avenue. Currently the shopping center is comprised of three separate parcels that encompass all of the commercial development except for the service station on the corner of Seal Beach Boulevard and Westminster Avenue and the bank at the far north end. The item before the Council would be to create three reconfigured lots - one for the new Carl's Jr. Restaurant for ownership interests and divide the remaining shopping center into two parcels. Requested approval of the tentative map and the conditions deemed necessary by the Public Works Department and the final map will come back for Council approval.

Councilman Levitt and Councilman Larson expressed their concerns with the current parking configuration - being unsafe for elderly drivers. Councilman Yost suggested that the Council consider a code change regarding parking lot requirements.
