BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Godfrey, Smith, Evans, Poe
STAFF MEMBER PRESENT: Pierce
MINUTES: ON MOTION BY EVANS AND SECOND BY SMITH,
THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF
APRIL 4, 1984 WERE APPROVED AS TRANS-
CRIBED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Godfrey, Smith, Evans
NOES: None
ABSTAIN: Poe
REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS:
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 84-18
Applicant: Mr. John Thomson, A.I.A.
To permit a setback of 1819"'from property line to garage door
versus 22'. Subject property is located at 17012 Marina Bay Drive.
Chairman Smith introduced the applicant's request and stated that this
proposal is categorically exempt, Class. 5, under the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970.
Staff informed the Board that this particular piece of property was
previously developed with a single-family dwelling allowing for a
side entry garage. The applicant is proposing to relocate his garage
to the southwest corner of his property, with an addition above the
proposed garage, encroaching 3+ feet into the sideyard setback. He
intends to convert his existing garage into habitable floor space.
Upon analyzation by staff, it was felt that,., -although the lot is
basically rectangular in shape, the property could be developed in
compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. Staff has three main concerns:
1) future use of the property and 2) the fact that by redesign, the
fireplace could be moved eliminating the requested encroachment and 3)
cars parked on driveway may extend into/onto public right-of-way.

The public hearing was opened by Chairman Smith.
Mr. John Thomson, A.I.A. for the project, addressed the Board. He
stated that this particular neighborhood,in Coral Cay,does not warrant
a rental unit. He cited where adjacent neighbors and others in the
local vicinity have relocated their garage - some at 17' from the
front property line. Mr. Thomson was informed that parity is not
considered hardship. He referred the Board to the site plan submitted
and informed them that the layout of the applicant's home was not as
originally approved with the garage entry at twenty-two (22) ft. and
that, had it been constructed as approved, there would be no need for
a variance request. He mentioned that the Coral Cay Architectural
Board had approved their request.
Alternative locations for the fireplace were discussed.
There being no one else present wishing to speak in favor or opposition
of the applicant's request, the public hearing was closed.
It was the consensus of all of the Board Members that by redesign,
the applicant could enjoy the same privileges enjoyed by other properties
in the same vicinity eliminating justification for approval of the
requested variance.
ON MOTION BY SMITH AND SECOND BY EVANS, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 84-18
WAS DENIED, WITH FINDINGS FOR DENIAL AND VOTE FOLLOWING:
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. -Because of the size, configuration, shape and lack of unique
topographic features of the subject property, there does not appear
to be exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the land, buildings of premises involved that does
not apply generally to property or class of uses in the same district.
2. Since the subject property can be fully developed within regular
established setbacks, such a conditional exception is not necessary
for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights.
AYES: Godfrey, Smith, Evans, Poe

C.E. Request - To permit an existing single -garage to satisfy parking
requirement. U.P. Request - To permit an addition to single-family
dwelling with nonconforming yards (single -car garage with street access)
T.P.M. No. 84-574(W) - To permit consolidation of two lots by parcel
map waiver. Subject property is located in the Townlot Specific Plan
area - 308 Tenth Street..
Staff informed the Board Members that the applicant wishes to continue
use of his single -car garage taking access from a street entry whereas
the Zoning Code for the Townlot Specific Plan Area states that access
to a garage shall be made from an alley. Additionally, a single -car garage
is being proposed in lieu of a double -car garage required by Code.
The applicant's property is unique as it's encumbered in the rear by
an oil facility prohibiting the applicant from taking access from the
alley. The applicant is proposing a second -story addition over his
existing dwelling considered to be nonconforming due to parking and
access into a single -car garage.
The public hearing was opened by Chairman Smith.
Mr. Bollman addressed the Board and stated that,hopefully, in three to
five years the oil facility will be removed at which time a two -car
garage will be constructed with alley access. He stated his unwilling-
ness to provide a minimum area for two enclosed parking spaces which
could be arranged in tandem provided a second exit is equipped for
utilization when property is freed from encumbrances. He felt this
to be an unreasonable request as he owns the duplex next door and
may park one of his cars on the adjacent drive apron.
Many concerns were discussed with the applicant: 1) the existing Fire/Oil
Code states that an eight (8) ft. wall must separate the dwelling from
the oil encumbrance in lieu of existing four (4) ft. wall, 2) direct
exposure of second -story to heat generated from oil facility felt to
be a fire hazard and 3) the fact that the applicant is doubling the
size of his dwelling felt to encourage a less than ultimate use for
the next twenty years instead of recycling when the oil lease expires
contributing to the deterioration of the neighborhood.
The public hearing was closed.
Findings for denial were discussed.

Applicant: Mr. Paul K. Alford
U.P. Request - To permit a second floor addition to a single-family
dwelling with nonconforming yards. T.P.M. Request - To permit con-
solidation of two lots into one and waiver of parcel map.
Staff informed the Board that the applicant's dwelling was constructed
across a property line of which waiver df;)Parcel Map No. 84-576(W)
will eliminate if approved. The applicant is proposing an addition
to his single-family dwelling which is nonconforming as covered parking
is not provided for two vehicles and access is taken from the street
rather than from an alley (property located in the Townlot Specific
Plan Area). Planning staff feels the property is large enough to
accommodate parking at the rear of the property allowing access from
alley. If approved, a condition should be imposed that the front
drive and curb -cut be eliminated.
The public hearing was opened by Chairman Smith.
Mr. Paul Alford introduced himself to the Board. He stated that at
the present time his existing home is an eye -sore requiring upgrading
including the roof. He stated that at the moment is was not economically
feasible for him to construct a two -car garage.
The permit process, with six (6) month concurrent inspections, was
explained to the applicant. Mr. Alford felt he could start construction
of a two -car garage within six (6) months after his addition was
completed keeping the permit process alive.
The public hearing was closed.

exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970.
The applicant has once again exercised his option to renew the lease
covering the 1.7 acre rectangular parcel of land in front of the
generating station owned by Southern California Edison. The applicant,
Mr. Overby, was present and was informed of Ordinance No. 2691 presently
being enacted allowing a maximum of five (5) successive summer seasons,
in lieu of two (2), subject to annual approval of an Administrative
Review application by the Board of Zoning Adjustments. All seasonal

Mr. Overby was informed that prior to opening of the seasonal parking
lot all standards, requirements and improvements shall be installed.
The parking lot shall then be inspected and approved by the City
prior to issuance of a certificate to operate.
The public hearing was closed.
It was,8tated that it should be verified whether this is a temporary
use of the property as this seasonal parking lot has been at this
location for a number of years. Due to heavy traffic in this area
it was felt that Edison should be notified of Newland Street improve-
ments (widening).

AND
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 84-16
Applicant: California Federal Savings c/o James R. Butler
To permit a 2,550+ sq. ft. financial building at the southwest
corner of Edinger and Springdale.
Chairman Smith introduced the applicant's request.
Staff stated that prior to acceptance of the plan, the applicant was
asked to submit a revised plan as the southwest corner of the
building encroached into the sight angle. The revised plan depicted
a curve in the landscaping, in lieu of a ten (10) percent corner
cutoff of the building,as required by Code, felt to create more of a
traffic conflict for the drive -up. A condition for approval of Use
Permit No. 82-40, covering the existing shopping center adjacent to
the subject site was that they would agree to participate in a
future circulation agreement with the developer of the subject site
for ingress and egress. The revised plan does not reflect this
particular condition. It was noted on the plan that by use of a
reciprocal drive, some parking would be eliminated (13 required with
20 spaces provided) .

Concerns with the parking layout, single ingress and egress drives
in lieu of of two-way drives, location of the driveways on
Springdale and Edinger and onsite circulation were discussed by the
Board.
Mr. Herand M. der Sarkissian, A.I.A. for the project and
Vice -President of California Federal,introduced himself and asked
that the Board act favorably on their project. As the corner cutoff
was not felt to be a problem, Mr. Sarkissian requested that the
Board impose conditions covering their concerns which would allow
them to proceed with their building as their problem, logistically,
is time. He agreed to aggressively pursue a reciprocal ingress and
egress arrangement with the property owner and stated his
concurrence with the Conditions as imposed.
The Board reviewed the information contained in the negative
declaration and considered mitigating measures.
