SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO. 78-10
Applicant: QRS Corporation
To permit a 75 square foot freestanding sign to be located at
5858 Warner Avenue (south side of Warner, approximately 350 feet
west of Springdale).
Pursuant to Section 15101 of the California Environmental Quality
Act, this application is a Class 3, Categorical Exemption.
Mr. Savoy Bellavia addressed the Commission and stated that he had
no further input to the staff report.
The public hearing was opened.
Mr. Bob Van Gerpen addressed the Commission and stated that Mr.
David Thomas and Mr. Frank Prior of Thriftymart, along with himself,
were available to answer any questions the Commission might have.
Mr. Van Gerpen stated that he had reviewed the staff report and
cited the proposal does demonstrate a hardship in that the nearby
supermarkets enjoy similar signs. He further stated that surveys
revealed the competitor's greater amount of business was due to
better signing on their part. Mr. Van Gerpen stated that the
applicant had recently spent a great deal of money on remodeling
the inside of the supermarket, however, the supermarket in
question still only enjoys one half of its store in a neighboring
City. He feels that the inadequacy of the business is due to not
enough identification for the store. Thereby, Mr. Van Gerpen
stated that the proposal demonstrates a definite economic hardship.
Viewgraphs of the site in question were shown. Commissioner Russell
was concerned about approving a sign of this type due to the al-
ready existing signs and not creating a further "circus". Further-
more, it was his contention that the sign would not create a one third
increase in business as previously cited by the applicant.
David Thomas of Thriftymart gave a brief history of the ownership
and length of time the supermarket has been in existence.
Mr. Tom King addressed the Commission and stated that his being in
the same type of business, agreed that the sign would cause an
increase in patronage to the supermarket, however, he did not
feel it would be a volume of one third.
There being no further parties present to speak on the application,
the public hearing was closed.
Commission discussion ensued. Commissioner Russell suggested a
continuance to allow staff to study different types of signs and
see how staff is progressing on different sign ordinance. He
further stated that supermarkets also depend on new people coming
into the community, therefore, the store needs identification.

similar signing in the area.

the development into a family type area. He further stated that
favorable comments had been received by him on site coverage,
proper setbacks, and the separation seemed to be in order.
A copy of the proposed condominium project was distributed among
Commission members. Mr. Morris further stated that the Coastal
Commission's recommendations would be included in the proposed
conceptual plan.
Chairman Finley stated that Commission was not to look at specific
plan in detail, because the application in question was a zone
change, and not a development plan.
Mr. Palin presented background information on how the parcel in
question was created. A possible merger of two parcels was dis-
cussed for the purpose of the five -unit condominium project.
The Commission reiterated the importance of the acquisition of
additional property for the purpose of access to the proposed
project.
Commissioner Bazil stated that without assurance of proper access,
he was unable to vote favorably on the zone change.
There being no further persons present to speak on the zone change,
the public hearing was closed.
It was the consensus of the Commission to continue the application
to allow staff to research a possible condition on a previous
Division of Land that may have required a specific development
and to readvertise the subject zone change to include the "Q"
prefix.

Applicant: William L. Anderson
To permit a change of zone from M1 to R2 located on the north side
of Talbert Avenue, approximately 680 feet west of Gothard Street.
The subject site of Zone Change No. 78-24 has already been assessed
for environmental effects as a part of General Plan Amendment No.
77-1. In June, 1977, both the Planning Commission and City Council
approved Environmental Impact Report No. 77-3 which had been pre-
pared for General Plan Amendment No. 77-1, therefore, no additional
environmental assessment is required at this time for the proposed
zone change.
Mr. Savoy Bellavia addressed the Commission and stated he had no
additional input to the staff report, however, he further stated
that the applicant had prepared a report,(in the form of a Plan-
ning Department Staff Report), and that he had not had the oppor-
tunitv to review this report.
The public hearing was opened.
Mr. Anderson, the applicant, addressed the Commission and stated
that he had received the Planning Department staff report on the
Monday prior to the Planning Commission hearing. Therefore, Mr.
Anderson had prepared his own staff report for Commission review.
Mr. Sullivan, adjacent property owner, addressed the Commission.
Mr. Sullivan stated that he owns the storage yard on the east side.
He stated that if the zone change was granted, it would be detri-
mental to his recreation vehicle storage yard business. Mr.
Sullivan questioned who the owner of the property in question is.
Mr. Anderson replied, stating that Ivy Ong and Frank Buccella
were the propery owners. Mr. Sullivan wished to include his
opposition to the proposed zone change into the record because he
travels quite frequently, and may not be in town at a future meeting.
It was the consensus of the Commission that they have not had
proper time to review the report submitted by Mr. Anderson.

APPROVAL ON USE PERMIT NO. 78-18
Mr. Palin addressed the Commission and stated that at the time the

zone that could be applied to the Ml zoning to accommodate some
additional commercial uses.
