CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 85-58
USE PERMIT NO'. 85-29
NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 85-15
Applicant: Pacific Coast Corporation
A request to permit a mini -storage facility with variance to permit
a zero side yard setback along the West property line in lieu of
fifteen feet (151). Subject property is an one hundred foot (1001)
wide parcel of land abutting the West side of the Southern Pacific
Railroad right-of-way between McFadden Avenue and Center Drive.
This request is covered by Negative Declaration No. 85-15.
Scott Hess, the Staff member, reported the plans presented to the
Board indicated a fifteen (15) building mini -warehouse complex
totaling 109,980 Square Feet in size. The parcel on which these
buildings would be constructed is long and narrow - 100 feet wide by
1,190 feet long. The property is currently vacant and abuts the
Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way on the East and the Southern
California Edison right-of-way to the West. The zoning is M1 on
this parcel; however, to the West the zoning is R1.

Staff further stated the request is for a variance in the setback on
the West property line. Normally, on property zoned M1 abutting
residential property, a fifteen foot (15'.),building setback would be
required but the applicant is requesting permission to put the
buildings on the property line. Staff indicated that, although the
adjacent property is zoned R1, it is used for Edison right-of-way
and will remain so for quite some time. The project includes one
and two-story structures instead of the usual one-story type of
arrangement.
This project would also come under the purview of the Redevelopment
Agency, according to Staff, for the Huntington Center Commercial
District Redevelopment Project. -Redevelopment suggested that the
project be referred to tEe Design Review Board for further review,
and Redevelopment was also concerned about the project interfering
with the proposed widening of Gothard Street from McFadden Avenue to
Bolsa Avenue.
Staff has reviewed the project and also has some concerns such as a
deficiency in landscaping and parking spaces but Staff is
recommending approval of the request with conditions that address
these deficiencies.
Daryl Smith expressed an opinion that the project should not be
referred to the Design Review Board but should be revie,�ed,by Staff
only.
Dennis Krejci questioned the condition relative to right turn only
into and off of McFadden Avenue. Scott Hess stated Staff would work
with the applicant for an alternative access to the site if no
access is permitted to McFadden Avenue.
The subject of twenty-eight foot (281) aisleways was broached by
Bill Sampson and a discussion followed concerning widening the
aisleways to thirty-two feet (321).
The Public Hearing was opened by Acting Chairman Les Evans and Ron
Pattinson was present to represent the applicant. Mr. Pattinson
pointed out that the variance request was for the area under the
Edison Company power lines and there would be no residential
construction in that area. Mr. Pattinson also stated that the
Redevelopment Agency referred to by Staff was, in fact, only the
Redevelopment Department. He further stated the Gothard Street
widening project had not been approved by City Council and
conditions based on presumption of this widening should not be
considered. Mr. Pattinson felt there was ample parking and the
project was not deficient.

James Hazeltine was also present representing Pacific Coast
Corporation. He said he had spoken with Tom Poe of the Fire
Department relative to having direct access from the parking area to
the elevator and also concerning the width of the interior drives.
Dennis Krejci asked Mr. Hazeltine if he thought cars or trucks
pulling utility trailers would park in the aisleways while loading
or unloading their storage items, and Mr. Hazeltine replied they
would probably pull in as close to the buildings as possible.
There was no one else present to speak for or against the project so
the Public Hearing was closed.
A lengthy discussion -followed between the Board members concerning
the points presented by Staff and the applicant's representatives,
and it was determined many items needed to be clarified. A
suggestion was made by Daryl Smith that it might be appropriate to
continue the Use Permit until after the forthcoming City Council
Meeting, at which time they were scheduled to discuss the Gothard
Street widening. Upon questioning, Staff verified the fact'the
Negative Declaration and the Conditional Exception could be approved
and the Use Permit continued to a later meeting.

NO. 85-15 AND CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 85-58 WERE APPROVED WITH THE
FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION:

property, including size, shape, location or surroundings, the

lot is long and narrow (100' x 11901) and abuts the Southern
Pacific Railroad right-of-way to the East and agricultural use
(Edison right-of-way) to the West.
2. The granting of a conditional exception is necessary in order
to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property
rights.

Staff stated the request is for construction of an industrial
building. The applicant does meet all the requirements for parking,
landscaping, and setbacks with the exception of the easement. Staff
is recommending approval with conditions.
Les Evans asked if the building would be placed directly on the
property line and Staff replied in the affirmative. Mr. Evans asked
that a condition be added requiring engineered calculations to be
submitted showing the building load would not adversely impact the
easement.
The Public Hearing was opened by Les Evans, Acting Chairman, and
Robert Contorelli, the applicant, was present. Mr. Contorelli said
he had constructed another building adjacent to this one with no
problems. He asked about placement of the electrical transformers
