REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS:
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 78-73 (Cont. from 8-23-78)
Applicant: K. L. Redfern, Inc.
To permit modernization of an existing service station located
at Pacific Coast Highway and 7th Street in a C3, General Busi-
ness District.
This request is a Categorical Exemption, Class I, California
Environmental Quality Act, 1970.
Jack Dailey and Bill Day_ were present to represent the applica-
tion.
The applicants explained their present operation and the proposed
modification to the site, which will consist only of the new
canopy and kiosk - islands as shown already exist. The Board dis-
cussed the traffic circulation pattern, the size and location of
drives and possible traffic conflicts which might result on Pac-
ific Coast Highway from patrons turning across traffic to enter
the station, and proposed landscaping on the property. Conflicts
between the residential properties to the north and the station
which would result if this commercial traffic were permitted to
use the alley as part of its exiting pattern were discussed, and
the consensus was that a report from the Traffic Engineer on this
matter would be required.
The Board also suggested modifications to the layout as follows:
1) The planter located at the intersection of 7th Street and
Pacific Coast Highway should be extended easterly to a point
parallel to the center line of the nearest pump island. This
planter must be at least three feet in width, and the driveway re-
duced and reconstructed as required; 2) The planter shown on the
northeast portion of the site should be relocated to the southeast
corner in a similar fashion, with the proposed concrete curb ex-
tended to the Pacific ':oast Highway property line. The applicants
agreed to make the above modifications and also agreed to a con-
tinuance of their request to permit Traffic Department input.

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 78-78
Applicant: Harbour Pacific, Ltd.
To permit specified dwellings within Tract 8636 to be constructed
at zero setback on one side of the lot on property located on the
south side of Trinidad Lane approximately 1000 feet south of
Edinger Avenue in an R1, Low Density Residential District.
This request is covered by EIR 74-6, adopted by the Planning Com-
mission on August 19, 1975.
Darrell Rowe was present at the meeting.
Board review found certain problems with the proposal; namely that
the required 10 foot opposite side yard is not shown on the plan and
no provision has apparently been made for maintenance of the
structures at zero property line. After discussion with the appli-
cant, it was the determination of the Board that information on the
materials to be used on the zero walls and a perspective view of
the corridor separating the units should be provided. Dave Eadie
cautioned the applicant that no eave overhang could be permitted at
the zero property line.
ON MOTION BY EADIE AND SECOND BY CROSBY ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO.
