AYES: Evans, Godfrey, Krejci, Poe, Smith NOES: None ABSENT: None ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW NO. 86-54 Applicant: J. A. Knowles (McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Compan A request to permit addition of industrial training facilities and offices to an existing industrial building. Subject property is located at 5301 Oceanus Drive (North side of Oceanus Drive approximately eight hundred feet (800') East of Graham Street). This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 1, California Environmental Quality Act, 1986. Staff reminded the Board this application was also for McDonnell Douglas. The request is to provide training facilities and office -2- 10/29/86 - BZA Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments October 29, 1986 Page 3 spaces in an existing building. The building already contains a Conference Room and the new facilities will provide seating for eighty-nine (89) additional trainees and twenty (20) work stations. The training area and work stations will not be in use on a full time basis. Staff has recalculated the required parking and the applicant will need two hundred forty-two (242) spaces. Consequently, this particular facility will be short on parking spaces so it will be necessary to provide shuttle and/or bus transportation to the site from the main plant parking area. The applicant will need to submit a Traffic Management Plan to indicate how this will be accomplished. Les Evans stated McDonnell Douglas was sharing a drive approach with the adjacent property owners and wondered whether these owners had agreed to this additional usage. The subject of a Traffic Management Plan was broached by Tom Poe and there was a general discussion regarding this matter. Les Evans suggested Staff needed to give the applicant a sample format to follow and the discussion continued as to appropriate wording for this type of plan. Dennis Krejci said it seemed to him the main issue was how people would be transported to the working area. He further suggested that the Traffic Management Plan should be submitted and -approved prior to issuance of building permits. The applicant should not be placed in the unfair situation of'being ready for occupancy of the building and then finding out the plan had not been approved by the Development Services Department. Mr. Krejci also added that a major concern should be to do whatever was necessary to ensure that the employees were transported to the work site and did not walk to it because there were no sidewalks available. Robert Baggett, Harry Schutte, Dean Fronk, and Peggy Dempsey.were present to represent the applicant. Mr. Fronk stated the applicant would do whatever was needed to meet the parking and/or transportation requirements and Mr. Schutte reiterated the statement. Mr. Fronk also stated that, in response to Mr. Evans query, the adjacent property owner had been notified and had no problem with the expanded usage. Daryl Smith said he would move for approval with the conditions as outlined by Staff and the motion was seconded by Les Evans. Glen Godfrey asked for clarification of Messrs. Smith and Evans' motion and second - whether it was their intent that the Traffic Management Plan should be submitted and approved prior to issuance of building permits or just as Staff had recommended. Messrs. Smith and Evans agreed that the submittal should be made prior to issuance of building permits and approved prior to occupancy. -3- 10/29/86 - BZA Minutes, H. B.
