APPROVAL OF
PIINUTES
June 3, 1980 Commissioner Fairbanks queried Commissioner Kasolas
as to whether the Amendment No. 1 on Page 7 was
correctly stated. Commissioner Kasolas reponded that
he could not recollect. She then asked f~1r. Kee if he
could clarify the policy statement set forth in
Amendment No. 2 on Page 8.
r-1r. Kee then responded that it is staff's understanding
that when a single-family structure is to remain it will
require at least 6,000 square feet, the remainder of the
property would be calculated for development in accord
with the Zoning Ordinance. Further, if the residence
is to remain a part of the development--no subdivision
proposed--it could be one unit of the development in
the overall lot area; i.e., if 10 units allowed, it
wculd be one of the 10.
After considerable discussion of the clarification, it
was the consensus of the Commission that Resolution
No. 1902 be forwarded on to the City Council as approved,
with any necessary clarification to be given by the
Planning Director at the time the Council considers
this item.
Commissioner Kasolas then moved for approval of the
June 3, 1980 Planning Commission minutes as submitted,
noting the clarification by the Planning Director,
seconded by Commissioner Kotowski and adopted with
Commissioner Fairbanks voting "No."

ware stcr~ 1ot;U~;:c:c at 1285 Hacienda Avenue.
Commissioner Kasolas reported that the applicant had met with the Site and
Architectural Review Committee this morning, and the Committee is recommending
approval in accord with staff's recommendation.
Commissioner Dickson inquired if the shopping center in which this store is
located has a sign.
P•1r. Kee responded that the center itself does not have a sign.
Commissioner Dickson then expressed concern about changing past policy regarding
maximum allowable area for signs (50 square feet).
"~1r. Kee explained that the Ordinance provides for exceptions, and it is felt by
staff that this particular shopping center is an exception from the standpoint
that it is still underdeveloped. He further noted that it is set back some
distance from the street.
Commissioner Dickson noted that he would be opposed to a motion for approval of
this request since he felt it would be establishing a bad policy.
At this time Commissioner Kasolas moved for approval of the proposed 3'x29'
(87 square foot) sign for Coast to Coast Hardware subject to the condition
that no additional signing be erected for this business. This motion was
seconded by Commissioner Kotowski and adopted with Commissioners Dickson and
fleyer voting "No."

period of approval.
There has been no change in Zoning or the General Plan in this area since
the .original approval. The General Plan indicates Low Density Residential.
(less than 6 units per gross acre) for this area. This subdivision would
result in a development with a density of 5.4 units per gross acre.

site and wondered if it is on the Historical Survey List.
P1r. Kee responded that he was not aware of this structure being on the
list, however, if the Commission wished to refer this item to the Historic
Preservation Board that could be done.
