CE REQUEST: To permit a forty-six (46) Square Foot building
encroachment into the -site angle setback.
UP REQUEST: To permit a twenty-five hundred and twenty-eight
(2,528) Square Foot drive-thru restaurant with approximately eighty
(80) seats.

Bolsa Chica Road approximately one hundred fifty feet (150') North
of Heil Avenue.
This•request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff reported this was a request for a drive-thru restaurant in an
existing shopping center, and the restaurant portion would
accommodate eighty (80) seats. The location has a fifty foot (50')
setback and site angle encroachment area; but the proposed building
would only encroach forty-six (46) Square Feet beyond the allowable
site angle encroachment area. The project conforms with other Code
requirements such as landscaping, parking, etc. Staff recommended
approval of the Use Permit with conditions but denial of the
Conditional Exception because there was no land -related hardship.

Glen Godfrey inquired about the stacking space. Staff reported the
order box could be shifted to the South and Mr. Godfrey then
suggested moving the order box to the East to possibly provide an
additional space.
Dennis Krejci asked if the adjacent property owners had been
notified. Ms. Phillips replied they were notified but Staff had
received no written or verbal comments - for or against the project.
The Public Hearing was opened by Chairman Dennis Krejci. The
applicant's representative, Skip Johnson, was present and stated his
organization had revised the plans several times at Staff's
request. Mr. Johnson presented a new site plan to the Board members
for their review which indicated a revised location for the order
board, and added that the shopping center is being remodeled and
updated. Mr. Johnson said the gas station infringed on Taco Bell's
view far more than the site angle encroachment being requested. The
applicant's representative presented an enlarged photograph of Taco
Bell's new image for their buildings and, upon questioning by Glen
Godfrey, assured the Board this would be the facade used in the
shopping center.
Ruth Bailey stated she was also representing Taco Bell with regard
to the applications, and the drive-thru restaurant would be much
better than what had been at the location. She added the ingress
and egress from the site was good and the stacking of cars would be
satisfactory. Ms. Bailey added her support to the project.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.
Les Evans asked for a clearer interpretation of the site angle
restriction and Glen Godfrey offered the explanation, adding this
particular encroachment was very minimal.
Mr. Godfrey reminded the applicant's representative he was to
furnish reduced drawings of the photograph for the City's files.

reinforced and the designer replied they were.

USE PERMIT NO. 87-28
Applicant: Hopkins Development Company
A request to remove a Condition of Approval of Use Permit No. 86-27
prohibiting restaurants and to permit a -take-out pizza restaurant
(with no seating) at a retail center. Subject property is located
at 9501 Hamilton Avenue (Southwest corner of Hamilton Avenue and
Bushard Street).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 3,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff reminded the Board this was a request for a take-out pizza
restaurant in an existing shopping center, which center the Board
had approved the previous year with a stipulation that there be no
restaurants allowed. The developer is now requesting permission to
lease the property for use as a take-out pizza operation with no
seating. This application is being returned to the Board for
removal of the "no restaurant" restriction on the shopping center.
-8- 5/6/87 - BZA
Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments
May 6, 1987
Page 9
Glen Godfrey said that, according to his recollection, the Board had
agreed that no restaurant - whether or not it had seating - should
be allowed in the center because of the concerns of the adjacent
property owners regarding parking, noise, and odors.
Daryl Smith said parking, traffic circulation, etc., was usually the
big issue in considering restaurants but that a take-out pizza
operation should not create these types of problems. Tom Poe
expressed concern about people eating and drinking in the parking
lot rather than taking food home. Mr. Poe felt this might create a
parking and traffic circulation problem.
The Public Hearing was opened and the applicant's representative,
Richard Mount, was present. Mr. Mount said it had been his
understanding on the original approval that the "no restaurant"
condition dealt strictly with restaurants with seating and not
take-out type operations; otherwise, he would have appealed the
condition at that time. Mr. Mount further added the developer was
requesting permission to allow a Round Table Pizza restaurant with
no seating at the location, and he did not feel this operation would
be a detriment to the shopping center or the surrounding area.
Ken Reynolds said he was owner of the adjacent shopping center and
there was already a small, family style pizza restaurant in his
location. Mr. Reynolds expressed concern that a small operation
could not survive competition from the larger chain -type business,
and he did not feel the area warranted two pizza type restaurants.
Henry Lutke stated he was owner/operator of the existing restaurant
and the Round Table Pizza would be detrimental to his business, as
well as to the area and neighborhood. Mr. Lutke said he had been at
the location for over four (4) years but probably could not fight
the large corporate image. He requested denial by the Board of the
take-out restaurant.
A representative of Round Table Pizza, David Quatman, spoke in favor
of allowing the take-out pizza restaurant. Mr. Quatman said they
would be utilizing only a 50' x 20' area, had new ovens which would
bake a pizza in six and one-half (6-1/2) minutes, and would not be
serving alcoholic beverages.
Les Evans said he was not in favor of allowing restaurants in these
small shopping centers because of parking, traffic circulation,
ingress and egress from the centers, etc., and he was ready to make
a motion for denial.
Dennis Krejci asked for a clearer interpretation of "restaurant".
Glen Godfrey said there was no basic distinction between the
"take-out" or "sit down" type. However, for determination of
-9- 5/6/87 - BZA
Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments
May 6, 1987
Page 10
required parking spaces, any eating facility with over twelve (12)
seats is calculated as a restaurant; otherwise, it is calculated
strictly as a commercial operation.
UPON MOTION BY EVANS AND SECOND BY POE, USE PERMIT NO. 87-28 WAS
DENIED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING -VOTE:
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. The proposed use will not be compatible with adjacent
properties due to increased odors and activity that would be
generated by the addition of a restaurant at this location.
2. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the use will be
detrimental to the general welfare of persons working,or
residing in the vicinity.
3. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the use will be
detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in
the neighborhood.

NEGATIVE'DECLARATION NO. 87-14
Applicant: Environmental Developers
A request to permit construction of two (2) industrial buildings for
a total of forty-four thousand, six hundred twenty-five (44,625)
Square Feet. Subject property is located on the West side of
Gothard Street approximately three hundred thirty feet (330') North
of Ellis Avenue.
This request is covered by Negative Declaration No. 87-14.
Staff reminded the Board members this was a request for two (2)
industrial buildings to be located on a portion of the Heliport
site. The applicant has worked with the Design Review Board and the
number of driveways has been limited to two (2). The proposal
complies with Code requirements for landscaping, parking and
setbacks except for the setback area along the rear of the
property. The applicant has agreed to set the building back five
feet (5') to comply with the Code. Staff recommended approval with
mitigating conditions from the Negative Declaration to be included.
Tom Poe indicated the turning radius shown on the plan would have to
be corrected on the Northwest corner. Glen Godfrey inquired about
the zero foot (0') setbacks and Staff indicated no problems because
the area was adjacent to the Heliport site and the training center.
Les Evans stated the site plan did not show sidewalks on Gothard
Street and would have to be revised to reflect the sidewalks.
Dennis Krejci said the Police Department would require lighting on
the buildings because they were adjacent to the Heliport.
The applicant's representative, Dewayne Brown, was present.
Mr. Brown stated he had no problems with the conditions, agreed to
move the building five feet (5'), and to construct a wall which
would lessen the noise from the Heliport.
