AYES: Cranmer, Crosby, Godfrey, Poe, Smith

ABSENT: None
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 86-54 (Cont. from 8/13/86)
Applicant: Joseph Walthour
A request to allow a portion of two (2) major retail tenants to be
calculated as warehouse (one parking space per 1,000 Square Feet of
floor area) in lieu of retail (one parking space per 200 Square Feet
of floor area). Subject property is located in the Albertson's
Center - Northeast corner of Golden West Street and ►garner Avenue.
This request is covered by Negative Declaration No. 81-,6.
Staff said adjacent property owners had been notified of the
proposed change; however, the only comment received had been at the
previous meeting and Staff had alleviated the individual's concerns
by an in-depth explanation of the proposed project. Staff further
stated the change in calculation of the parking spaces was to allow
two (2) small restaurant operations to be added to the shopping
center. Staff explained that, by calculating the square footage on
the inside rather than outside dimensions of the two major buildings
in the center (Albertson's and Sav-On Drugs), there would be a four
percent (4%) increase in the parking spaces (22 spaces). Based on
this information, Staff recommended approval with conditions.
There was an extended discussion relative to the recalculation of
this square footage and the fact some warehousing space had been
allowed in the original approval. There was also a discussion
relative to inclusion of compact parking spaces.
Daryl Smith expressed extreme concern over the unused parking stalls
in the rear of the buildings. Mr. Smith said that he recalled
discussions during the original approval, and in subsequent Site
Plan Amendments, requesting that the tenants utilize those parking
spaces for employee parking. Staff replied he had researched the
previous files but did not find any such information. Mr. Smith
stated he would want a Parking Management Plan stipulating such
parking arrangements in the event this request was approved by the
Board, that the applicant's organization be responsible for
enforcing such plan, and that the applicant submit a copy of such
plan to the City for monitoring by the Land Use Division.
The Public Hearing had remained open and Chairman Tom Poe asked if
the applicant was present. Joseph T. Walthour, the applicant, was
present and Mr. Walthour said Staff had worked with him to resolve
-2- 8/20/86 - BZA
Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments
August 20, 1986
Page 3
the parking deficiency in order to permit these two (2) small
restaurants. Mr. Walthour explained the center was about
eighty-five percent (85%) leased so the parking should really not be
a problem; however, Mr. Walthour agreed to the stipulation of the
Parking Management Plan. Mr. Walthour further explained he had an
outside management company to supervise and lease the shopping
center.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.

SITE PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 86-10 (Cont. from 8/13/86)
Applicant: Business Properties
A request to permit a change from twenty-three foot (231) side yard
setback to eighteen foot (181) side,.yard setback for a proposed
10,500 Square Foot building which was previously approved by Use

Street and Adams Avenue. ;;- ;•
This request is covered by Negative -Declaration- No., 75-61.
Staff reported the request had been continued from the previous
meeting and was for an adjustment to a.previously'approved shopping
center. The pad has been vacant for several.years'and needs -to be
elevated to conform with the new flood control requirements for the
area. A Site Plan Amendment does not require a Public Hearing;
however, because of prior problems at, this shopping center site, it
was determined that the adjacent property,ow_ners,should be
notified. Staff stated he had met with the property, owners in an
effort to alleviate their concerns and.he -felt the problems had been
covered by conditions which were -recommended for,the project. `Staff
reminded the Board the hearing had remained,open'from the previous
meeting. Staff recommended approval with conditions.

There was a discussion relative to the previous approval and Daryl
Smith expressed definite concerns about the landscaping, especially
at the rear of the proposed building pad. Mr. Smith mentioned the
types of trees he would like used for screening the adjacent
properties from the center, along with the existing wall. The
height of the wall was also a point of discussion.
The Chairman declared the hearing still open and asked if the
applicant was present. Joseph T. Walthour was present to represent
the applicant. Mr. Walthour explained the necessity for raising the
pad since this was an older center and the pad was two feet (21)
below the flood plain. He further explained the necessity of
meeting Government and insurance company requirements for the
location. Mr. Walthour also reminded the Board the wall was fairly
new and he would rather not have to rebuild it.
Glen Godfrey stated a letter had been received that day by his
office and asked that it be read into the Minutes. The letter is as
follows:

Applicant: .:Falzon -Construction,.. Inc. . ,. : , r ,
A request to permit the reduction:.of.an:exis.ting driveway to fifteen
feet (151) in lieu of twenty-two feet (221) for a proposed two (2)
car garage.. Subject .property - is : located .at 61,51 Kimberly. Drive
(Northwest corner of Capetown Lane,and Kimberly•Dr.ive).:.,.
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1984.
Staff reported the request was for reduction of an existing driveway
to permit conversion of the'garage into.a-recreation room and
construction of an addition to a single family residence. Staff has
researched the area and files and found the,tract was, -established in
1953 with side entry garages as well as front entry garages. Staff
has evaluated the project and is recommending a,minimum twenty foot
(201) driveway at this location-- or -shifting the driveway to
another location off Capetown Lane.. Based on.,this situation, Staff
recommended approval with conditions.
The Public Hearing was opened and the applicant, Paui.Falzon, was
present. Mr. Falzon stated they had intended to use a roll -up type
garage door and explained to the Board how the door could be inset
to allow additional driveway space. Mr. Falzon further stated a
variance to seventeen feet (171) would be acceptable.

Daryl Smith inquired about the existing wall and asked if the
applicant would be willing to offset it by ten feet (101) to allow
better visibility. Mr. Falzon agreed to this stipulation, as well
as additional landscaping which Mr. Smith requested.
There was no one else present wishing to speak so the Public Hearing
was closed.
A discussion followed relative to Mr. Falzon's suggestions for
changing the garage door and also relative to Staff's recommendation
for relocation of the driveway. Ross Cranmer stated the interior of
the garage was already a minimum size and that moving the garage
over would only buy two feet (21) to make the driveway a total of
seventeen feet (17').

NO. 86-58 WAS APPROVED AS AMENDED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND
CONDITIONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:

more will not be detrimental to:
a. The general welfare of persons residing or working in the

building.
c. Parking for the residence since this property is a corner
lot and five (5) to six (6) cars can park on the street at
this residence.
2. Granting of reduction of driveway length will not create an
unsafe backing condition due to the relocation of an existing
block wall to allow for the sight distance necessary to see
oncoming traffic and walkway users.
3. Because the existing driveway is being utilized as the new
driveway for proposed construction, special circumstances are
applicable to the subject property relative to size, shape,
location, and surroundings of the lot and existing residence,
and the strict application of the ordinance is found to deprive
the subject property of privileges enjoyed by others.
4. The granting of Conditional Exception No. 86-58 is necessary in
order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights, including the property lawn/landscape which
can be maintained in place.

Applicant: Nick Radogna
A request to permit the enclosure of an existing two hundred fifty
(250) Square Foot patio area. Subject property is located at 15941
Edwards Street (West side of Edwards Street approximately one
hundred fifty feet (1501) North of Edinger Avenue).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 1,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1984.
According to Staff, the request is for enclosure of a patio area on
an existing restaurant. Staff stated he had analyzed the plan
submitted by the applicant and would recommend modifications in the
layout. Staff itemized his suggestions and recommended approval
with conditions.
The Public Hearing was opened and the applicant, Nick Radogna, was
present. Mr. Radogna stated he leased the property and was
investing his own money even though he did not own it. Mr. Radogna
further stated Staff's suggestions were very extensive for such a
small project, and he might have to abandon it - that all he had
wanted to do was beautify the property and provide additional
enclosed eating space. Upon questioning by Tom Poe, Mr. Radogna
stated the front entry would be closed off and they would utilize
the side entry. There was also a discussion about the roof tile and
closing in the parapet area of the facade.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
