Mr. Tim J. Haley, Associate Planner, presented the staff report, noting the following:
* The applicant's request to modify a previously approved Site and Architectural
approval, a previously approved Sign Application, and an extension of these
approvals. The applicant is proposing construction of a new smaller retail

and redesign of the canopy.
* The proposal is consistent with the General Plan and the Zoning Designation
for the area.
* Staff is recommending approval of the modifications and the extension request.
Commissioner Perrine clarified that the request for extension is really a request for
reinstatement with modifications. Mr. Haley confirmed Commissioner Perrine's
statement.
Additionally, Mr. Haley provided the Site and Architectural Review Committee's
report of April 1, 1993, recommending approval, with the following modifications:
* The addition of a second exit door from the retail building.

* Incorporate brick planter along the entry of the building.

incorporated into the Conditions of Approval. Mr. Haley stated that they had.
Chairperson Alne opened the Public Hearing.
Public Comment:
Mr. Robert Lee, Coast Oil Stations, Inc., 4250 Williams Road, San Jose, addressed the
Commission explaining that the request for the second exit door was based upon
Planning Commission Minutes of April 13, 1993

1,500 square feet of occupied area, that the proposal is for 1,460 square feet, less
than what would require the second exit. Further, he stated that he had discussed
this with the Building Division and it was in agreement that the second exit should
not be required.
Mr. Haley noted that if the Building Division determined that a second exist was not
necessary, the Planning Department would not have a problem dropping that
requirement.
Chairperson Alne asked if Planning had confirmation from the Building Division
relative to the imposed requirement. Mr. Haley was not aware of the Building
Division's discussion with Mr. Lee. He pointed out that a plan check would be done
by the Building Division, therefore, the requirement would be reviewed during the
review.
Mr. Haley suggested that Condition No. 2 of the Conditions of Approval could be
amended adding, "the provision of a second exit door if required by the Building
Division."
