It was explained that the document has been distributed to the effecting taxing agencies, PAC, the public, State Clearninghouse, and the Commission for review and comments only and that the comment -receiving time would be open until April 4, 1987. It was further explained that a joint public hearing would be held July 6, 1987, with the second reading of the ordinance on July 20, 1987, and a 30-day period after which the ordinance would be in effect. The draft EIR was reviewed by the Planning Commission and comments were made. The main concern of the Commission was the request for certification and approval of a document that they felt was incomplete. They requested that further analysis and study be made on mitigation measures for the following: 1. Evaluation and input from the County on their mitigation measures regarding a 100-year flood, and the runoff problems into our main flood control channels. This is a determining factor for the City. 2. Analysis of traffic - the EIR is based on normal traffic only. Requested an analysis be made on summer beach traffic and the traffic resulting from the buildout of Downtown Redevelopment. 3. County suggested a fly -over of the Beach/Warner corner for the Superstreet project. The Council eliminated this suggestion. This corner in the project area needs further discussion. 4. Projected volume/capacity with and without a project. Will the suggested CalTrans improvements be made without a project?

Conditional Use Permit No. 86-57 in conjunction with Negative Declaration 86-61 is a request to construct a three story, 53 unit motel which includes a manager's unit on the west side of Beach Boulevard north of Garfield Avenue. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Pursuant to the environmental regulations in effect at this time, the Department of Development Services posted draft Negative Declaration 86-61 -for ten days, and no comments, either verbal or written were received. The staff, in its initial study of the project, has recommended that a negative declaration be issued prior to any action on Conditional Use Permit No. 86-57, it is necessary for.the Planning Commission to review and act on Negative Declaration 86-61. REDEVELOPMENT STATUS: The subject property is within the proposed Beach Boulevard Redevelopment Project Area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 86-57 based on findings. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Sunil Patel, applicant, spoke in support of the project. He stated that he has been trying to build a motel on this property since 1984. Ken Paddock, architect, summarized the benefits of the project and urged the Commission to grant approval. Ron Pattinson, consultant representing the Patels, spoke in support of the project. He expressed concern with staff's recommendation to deny, after three years of recommending approval, due to' non -compatibility. He stated that he feels the reciprocal agreement from the Shens should be enforced and urged the Commission to grant approval. 1 PC Minutes - 3/17/87 -4- (7776d) 1 Jerry Bame, attorney representing the Shens, spoke in opposition to the project. He stated that another motel would not be compatible with the area. Dr. James Shen, 18751 Beach Boulevard, urged the Commission to deny the project.

The proposed 53-unit, three-story motel will not be a compatible use with the adjacent car dealerships and dental office and will be detrimental to the value of the property. Z. Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 86-57 will leave a residual 37'6" wide lot substandard (northerly adjacent parcel) and possibly undevelopable in the future which would be detrimental to the value of the property. 3. The orientation of the proposed motel driveway is inadequate because it creates a driveway that is too close to the existing northerly driveway on Beach Boulevard. 4. Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 86-57 without an integrated driveway with the adjacent northerly lot off Beach Boulevard leaves a substandard, one-way driveway on the adjoining northerly lot which is severely inadequate, awkward and creates an egress and ingress problem on Beach Boulevard. 5. Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 86-57 without an integrated driveway with the adjoining northerly lot as intended when Administrative review 71-15 was approved for development of that lot does not comply with City policies and standards, and the principal objectives of the draft redevelopment plan for the proposed Beach Boulevard Redevelopment Project Area and the "Super Street" designation and plan on Beach Boulevard.
