ZC 85-02 Public hearing to consider the applica- --
LaGuisa, J. tion of Mr. Jere LaGuisa for approval of
a zone change from R-M-S to PD (Planned
Development); and approval of a Planned
Development Permit, plans, elevations
and development schedule to allow the
construction of 7 townhomes on property
~~ known as 570 W. Sunnyoaks Ave. in an
R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential/
Low=Medium Density Residential) Zoning
District.
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and.
Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending approval,
subject to conditions of approval indicated in the Staff Comment Sheet,
including resolvement with the Fire Department on Condition No. 22.
Mr. Kee noted that the applicant has talked with the Fire Department
regarding the turnaround, and there is adequate room on the site to
provide for this requirement. Revised plans will address the issue under
Condition No. 1.
Commissioner Toshach asked about the retention of large trees on the site,
and if any consideration has been given to replanting of trees.
-5-
Commissioner Christ noted that the only way one of the trees can be saved
is to reduce the number of units from 7 to 6, and move the units to the
rear of the property. The Site Committee did not see this as a very good
alternative and did not act on it.
Commissioner Perrine added that there are several trees on the. property
that are being retained, and the landscaping plan will becoming back to
the Committee and/or Commission prior to issuance of a building permit.
Chairman Fairbanks asked about the advantage of the zone change to PD--
do the plans indicate any differences in the setbacks or other
requirements from the R-M-S zoning district?
Mr. Kee responded that it is his understanding that the plans would meet
the setbacks in the R-M-S zoning district. One of the reasons for the PD
'zoning would be to allow the sale of the units at a later date.
Commissioner Fairbanks asked about the landscaping percentage, indicating
it seems to be lower than usual.
Mr. Kee indicated that the landscaping is proposed for approximately 33$
of the site, which is at the low end of the scale; however, it was
acceptable to the Architectural Advisor with the design of the building.
Commissioner Dickson asked if the building separation on the plans was
allowable under an R-M-S zoning district; and, if there was some breakup
of the long driveway.
Mr. Kee noted that the building separation would be allowable under the
R-M-S district.
Mr. Woodworth stated that there is textured pavement at the entrance to
the project,. and the driveway is curved around a large pine tree on the
site. There is also a recommendation for more textured pavement along the
driveway. Additionally, a 4 foot landscaping strip is provided along the
driveway.
Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Barry Bruins, 542 W.

Mrs. Pat McCullough, 771 Old Orchard Rd., spoke against changing the
zoning to PD. She felt the development could stay within the existing
zoning. Mrs. McCullough also spoke against removing the large tree.
-6-
Mr. Cecil Hunter, 570 W. Sunnyoaks Ave., stated that he planted all the
trees on the site, except the large cedar under discussion. Mr. Hunter
continued that the cedar tree should be removed because it has been there
so long. He added that his property is surrounded by townhomes, and it
seems absurd to restrict him to single family dwellings.
Mr. Jack Young, 524 Sunnyoaks Ave., expressed a concern about the lack of
landscaping for this site. He continued that he will be looking at the
three units in the back, and does not want to stare at someone's house all
day. Mr. Young noted that he did not see anything provided to break up
the building.
Mr. Jere LaGuisa, architect, indicated that the landscaping plan has not
been prepared as yet. There will be landscaping in front of each unit,
,;:- along the fence lines, along the driveway, and along the garage doors.
Revised plans will address the turnaround concern of the Fire Department.
Commissioner Kasolas asked Mr. LaGuisa if he were to receive a favorable
approval for this project, would he be attune with the concerns expressed
this evening when the landscaping plans are prepared.
Mr. LaGuisa stated "absolutely".
Mr. Bruce Reid, 1509 Walnut Dr., expressed a concern about changing the
zoning "because PD means what we see is not what we get". Mr. Reid also
noted that the plans are for the maximum density for the site. If one
unit were dropped, there would be adequate landscaping.
M/S: Dickson, Christ -
That the public hearing for ZC 85-02 be
closed. Motion carried unanimously
(6-0-0) .
M/S: Kasolas, Toshach -
Discussion of Motion
That the Planning Commission accept the
Negative Declaration which has been
prepared for this project.
That the Planning Commission adopt a
resolution recommending approval of ZC
85-02.
Commissioner Toshach stated that he is recommending approval because the
landscaping concerns will be addressed by the plans which will come back
to the Commission.
Commissioner Dickson felt that the plans should be before the Commission
on Planned Development Permits before they are approved. This project is
proposed at a maximum density, and there is a policy towards reduced
-~-
density for the San Tomas Area. Commissioner Dickson continued that if
the project is approved at maximum density, it should also have maximum
amenities--which he did not see provided. Additionally, the plans provide
for a loncj, narrow driveway, and he would like to see the driveway
broken-up prior to approval.
Commissioner Christ stated that he would be voting against the motion in
that he felt there was not adequate space provided for landscaping on the
site; and, he felt that six units would be more appropriate for the area.
Commissioner Christ continued, however, that he felt the building design
is good, that the driveway is acceptable, and that the developer has done
a good job in designing for the site.
Commissioner Toshach noted that the statement made by Commissioner Christ
confused him because it was against the Site Committee's recommendation.
Commissioner Kasolas stated that there is still a basic problem of housing
people. Not far from this site there is a development of very high
density, and there does not appear to have been problems with it. The
proposed units are probably above the average square footage for homes.
The City has a responsibility to provide housing. Commissioner Kasolas
felt that the people should be allowed to make the choice; and, that
housing is so expensive that perhaps it is not economically feasible to
put only six units on this site. He felt that one part of town is being
treated differently than the rest, and the town should not be divided.
Commissioner Kasolas added that the parking requirements are very large,
and there may be an excess at 2 spaces per unit. Reduction of the parking
requirement may provide the additional landscaping desired.
Chairman Fairbanks expressed concerns about the density and the
landscaping, noting that the impact of more dense housing necessitated
careful addressing of greenspace on the properties.
Vote on Motion
AYES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Perrine, Toshach
NOES: Commissioners: Christ, Dickson, Fairbanks
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
M/S: Dickson, Perrine - That the public hearing on ZC 85-02 be
reopened. Motion carried with the
following roll call vote:
AYES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Perrine, Christ, Dickson, Fairbanks
NOES: Commissioners: Toshach
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
-8-
Mr. LaGuisa indicated that with the provision of the turnaround area in
"turf block" the landscape percentage will be closer to 40~.
M/S: Dickson, Christ - That ZC 85-02 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of May 14,
1985.
Discussion of Motion
Commissioner Toshach noted that he was still unclear what is expected from
the applicant. It would appear that the density of the project would have
to be reduced to satisfy two commissioners, and the current zoning of the
parcel permits development at the proposed density. Commissioner Toshach
continued that he is opposed to a continuance because there is no point in
letting the item drag on with an issue that the Commission is at odds.
Commissioner Kasolas expressed a concern with the procedure of reopening a
public hearing, noting that he is opposed to continuing a public hearing
without the specific consent of the applicant.
Commissioner Perrine stated that he is optimistic that the applicant will
review the layout and, hopefully, be able to present a new plan which
addresses concerns expressed this evening.
Commissioner Dickson noted that there is nothing .which states that a
development has to be presented at maximum density; and, that a project
should be harmonious with the surrounding development.
Vote on Motion
AYES: Commissioners: Perrine, Christ, Dickson, Fairbanks
NOES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Toshach
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
ZC 85-03 Public hearing to consider the applica-
Bowen, B. tion of Mr. Bruce Bowen, on behalf of
the Ainsley Financial Corp., for a zone
change from R-1 (Single Family
Residential) to PD (Planned
Development); and, approval of a Planned
Development Permit, plans, elevations,
and development schedule to allow the
construction of 6 single family homes on
property known as 1200 W. Latimer Ave.
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Committee. The applicant is requesting a continuance
in order to submit revised plans.
-9-
Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mrs. Joy Musante, 1140 W. Latimer Ave., asked about the proposed project.
Commissioner Toshach asked if the planned development permit is the only
approach that can be taken to develop this property.
Mr. Kee indicated that the planned development is the process used for the
private road.
M/S: Perrine, Christ - That ZC 85-03 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of May 14,
1985.
Picrnccinn
Commissioner Toshach stated that he would be voting against a continuance
because he thought the project should be denied this evening on the basis
that this type of development is getting around a legitimate requirement
of a standard street.
Commissioner Christ noted that the Site Committee had strong concerns with
the private driveway, and the fact that guests would be forced to park on
the street. However, if a public streets were proposed, it would result
in a public street serving two lots. Commissioner Christ continued that
perhaps a reduction to five lots with inclusion of on-site parking should
be considered. The Site Committee is of the opinion that the developer
understands these concerns and will try to address them.
Vote on Motion
AYES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Perrine, Christ, Dickson, Fairbanks
NOES: Commissioners: Toshach
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.

on property known as 2097 S. Bascom Ave.
in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning
District.
Mr. Kee explained that the applicant is requesting that this application
be withdrawn, and that a partial refund be given. In that the request for
withdrawal was received prior to an in-depth Staff analysis, Staff can
support that one-half of the filing fee be refunded.

Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
M/S: Kasolas, Perrine - That the public hearing on UP 85-04 be

(6-0-0) .
M/S: Christ, Toshach - That the Planning Commission adopt.
Resolution No. 2329 denying without

UP 79-18 Public hearing to consider the applica-
Green, R. tion of Mr. Richard Green on behalf of
Union Oil Co. for approval of plans and
elevations and a modification to a
previously approved use permit (UP
79-18) to allow the remodel of an
existing service station into a
self-service on property known as 3035
S. Winchester Blvd. in a C-2-S (General
Commercial) Zoning District.
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Committee. The presented plans now show considerable
redlining, including additional landscaping, and the Committee is
recommending approval subject to this redlining as well as conditions
indicated in the Staff Comment Sheet.
Chairman Fairbanks asked about Condition No. 17.
Fire Chief McMullen explained that this condition is required under the
hazardous materials ordinance.
Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Bill Forjenski, Union Oil Co., stated his availability for questions.
-11-
Mr. Bruce Reid, 1509 Walnut Drive, commented that the ingress/egress for
this site is dangerous, and asked if something might be done to address
this issue.
Mr. Helms responded that there are no changes suggested with the plans.
Staff has not been aware of any problems.
Commissioner Perrine noted that the Site Committee did look at the
ingress/egress which is near the free right turn lane; however, changing
this driveway would create more of a problem than exists.
Commissioner Christ added .that eliminating ingress/egress on Hacienda
would make the situation worse, and with the future median strip on
Winchester, the station would be out of business.
M/S: Toshach, Dickson - That the public hearing on UP 79-18 be
closed. Motion carried unanimously
(6-0-0).
M/S: Toshach, Christ - That the Planning Commission adopt
Resolution No. 2330 approving UP 79-18
as redlined, and subject to condition as
indicated in the Staff Comment Sheet.
Motion carried with the following roll
call vote:
AYES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Perrine, Christ, Toshach, Dickson,
Fairbanks
____ NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
Commissioner Dickson asked Staff to look into the situation at this
intersection and make suggestions for improvement.
Mr. Helms indicated that the intersection is currently undergoing redesign
and he would be happy to review the situation for the Commission when the
plans are more formalized.
MM 85-09 Public hearing to consider the applica-
Condit, E. B. tion of Rev. E. B. Condit on behalf of
Free Will Baptist Church for approval of
a modification to a previously approved
plan to allow the construction of a
garage and office building on an
existing church site on properties known
as 106 S. Third St, and 157 W. Rincon
Ave. in a PD (Planned Development/Medium
Density Residential) Zoning District.
-12-
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Committee. The applicant has now decided on a
one-story structure and is requesting a continuance in order to submit
revised plans.
Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item. No one wished to speak at
this time.
M/S: Dickson, Christ - That MM 85-09 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of May 28,
1985 in order that the applicant may
submit revised plans. Motion carried
unanimously (6-0-0).
The Commission recessed at 8:50 p.m.; the meeting reconvened at 9:05 p.m.
PD 84-06 Continued public hearing to consider
Prometheus Dev. Co, the application of Mr. Thomas Fleischli,
on behalf of "900 E. Hamilton Ave., A
General Partnership", for approval of a
Planned Development Permit, plans,
elevations, and development schedule to
allow the construction of two 6-story
office buildings and a 250-room hotel
complex on property known as 920 E.
Hamilton Ave. in a PD {planned
Development/Commercial) Zoning District.
Mr. Kee briefly reviewed the Staff Comment Sheet for the Commission,
noting that Staff has revised the conditions of approval to address
concerns expressed at the last hearing.
Mr. Jeff Damon, Barton-Aschmann Associates, spoke at length on the signal
interconnect system, as well as other traffic issues and addressed
specific questions of the Commission pertaining to the interconnect
system, queing, specific intersections, and levels of service.
In responding to a concern about the project actually being built, Mr.
Fleischli indicated that there are a number of costly conditions which
must be met prior to application for a building permit. The only
hesitation would involve the leasing activity of the project, and the
establishment of a hotel management.
Regarding density, Mr. Fleischli indicated that the developer is not in a
position to reduce the density of the project and still proceed with the
application because of the delicate equation of providing a project that
has financial strength and still provide for the relocation assistance and
-13-
the mitigation measures. Additionally, it is the developer's intention to
go forth with the project without financial assistance from the City, as
was necessary for the previous proposal.
Commissioner Kasolas asked Mr. Helms if Staff was reasonably comfortable
with the project as proposed.
Mr. Helms responded that what Staff attempts to do with a project is
describe the traffic problems in layman's terms. It is Staff's opinion
that the consultant has done as good a job as is reasonably possible to
present the project's impacts; if the changes in the level of services are
acceptable to the community, then Staff would recommend the mitigation
measures as listed in the EIR.
Mr. Bruce Reid, 1509 Walnut Dr., spoke against the project citing the
traffic, the building heights, and the skyline of the project.
Mrs. Garnetta Annabel, representing Cambrian Park Homeowner's Association,
spoke against the project because of the density.
Chairman Fairbanks stated that the purpose of the continuance was to see
if something could be done to the project which would result in it being
moved on to Council with a recommendation. Chairman Fairbanks continued
that she had strong objections to the project which cannot be set aside,
and until such time as those concerns are addressed she would not be able
to support the project. She asked the applicant if he would like another
opportunity to address those concerns.
Mr. Fleischli responded that he was not sure what he should address. He
felt the approach this evening was to speak to specific concerns--timing,
intention of completion, scheduling, interconnect system and design,
possibility of reducing height and density, and certain assumptions set
forth in the EIR. Mr. Fleischli felt these issues were addressed this
evening by the oral presentation, and by his letters which are included in
the Staff Report, as well as the revisions made to the conditions of
approval.
Commissioner Kasolas noted that he felt the off-ramp issue is
insurmountable; however, the project must be looked at in total. The
Commission has heard from the applicant regarding the relocation issue and
the development schedule, and he felt there was sufficient information
provided to move the issue on to the Council. Commissioner Kasolas stated
that he was prepared to vote at this point.
M/S: Kasolas, Christ - That the public hearing on PD 84-06 be
closed. Motion carried with the
following roll call vote:
AYES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Perrine, Christ, Toshach, Dickson,
Fairbanks
NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
-14-
Commissioner Kasolas requested that any motion made include the basic
concerns expressed by the Commission during the public hearings on this
item.
M/S: Perrine, Christ - That the Planning Commission adopt a
•~ resolution recommending that the City
Council approve PD 84-06, subject to
conditions as indicated in the Staff
Comment Sheet.
Discussion of Motion
Commissioner Dickson stated he would be opposing the motion, primarily
because of the density. The financial problems are self-imposed, and
• there are so many uncertainties that it appears we are creating a worse
situation. Commissioner Dickson felt that the Commission should insist on
getting a report back from Cal-Trans prior to approving this project.
Commissioner Toshach stated that he thought it very likely that the
project, as displayed by what has been presented, will have substantial
impact on the traffic. He continued that he did not see any relief
happening with the mitigation measures proposed] and, he saw negative
impacts in particular on the pedestrian walkways on the perimeter of the
site. Commissioner Toshach stated that he would not support the motion.
Commissioner Kasolas felt that the overall affect of the project on the
community should be considered. He continued that he did have some
concerns, but it would appear that a project of this nature is not going
to be used as intensively as some, and the project will provide high
quality office space which will allow people in the community to work in
the area.
Commissioner Christ stated that he was, at first, faced with the same
~~ concerns as everyone else. After going over all the pros and cons for the
project, leaving the financial impact off the list, there were still more
positive aspects than negative ones for the development. He continued
that besides the financial rewards, the community will also be getting a
nice hotel, open space, and mitigation measures for the area's traffic.
The traffic problems are not caused by the community, but rather the flow
through the City, and these mitigations will allow for a smoother flow.
Commissioner Christ added that he would like to see the situation settled
for the benefit of the mobilehome residents.
Commissioner Perrine expressed his concern with the level of service at
Bascom/Hamilton, as did the other Commissioners, and that the traffic
would not get better because of the surrounding area; however, he felt
that the City would be getting more benefits than not from the
development.
Chairman Fairbanks stated that although the applicant has come a long way,
she still has objections which weigh heavily. __

report on the conversion impact and
relocation assistance upon displaced
residents on a mobile home park located
at 920 E. Hamilton Ave.
Mr. Kee noted that, in light of the Commission's action on PD 84-06, Staff
would recommend that this report be forwarded to the Council without a
recommendation.
Mr. Dempster stated his agreement with Staff's recommendation.
It was the consensus of the Commission to forward the conversion impact
report onto the City Council. without a recommendation.
Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Chuck Williamson, representing the Hamilton Mobilehome C!wner's
Association, stated that the report itself does not really deal with the
issue of what is going to happen to the residents. He pointed out that
reference is made to a number of spaces available which are actually
mobilehomes for sale. There are no opportunities available to move
existing coaches.

Chairman Fairbanks turned the meeting over to Commissioner Kasolas for
this item, due to a possible conflict of interest.
Mr. Woodworth reported that Staff is recommending that the Commission
adopt a resolution determining that a product and prototype design use may
be compatible with the character of the C-1-S (Neighborhood Commercial)

Commissioner Toshach asked about the use of paint booths and control of
hazardous aerosols.
Mr. Woodworth indicated these concerns could be addressed under the use
