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. 1 -2- 5/6/87 - BZA Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments May 6, 1987 Page 3 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.

Staff recommended approval•with conditions. The Public Hearing was opened and Ross Atkinson, the applicant, was present. Mr. Atkinson said he,had no comments or questions for the Board. Dennis Krejci inquired about the parapet wall. The designer, Jay Earl, said they would be removing an existing gable and .replacing it with an eighteen inch (18") higher parapet wall; however, it would present an overall profile lower than the existing. Mr. Earl added he had a letter from adjacent neighbors giving their approval to the project, and Dennis Krejci asked that the letter be included in the file for reference. -6- 5/6/87 - BZA Minutes, H.

Mr. Earl replied he and the owner had discussed that possibility but had determined it would be more economically feasible to salvage the existing kitchen, bath and bedroom. Mr. Godfrey asked if the existing foundations were being reinforced and the designer replied they were. Upon questioning by Glen Godfrey regarding an office area, Ross Atkinson assured him the area would be for personal use only and not for business purposes.

AYES: Evans, Krejci, Poe, Smith NOES: Godfrey ABSENT: None 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. AYES: Evans, Godfrey, Poe, Smith NOES: Krejci ABSENT: None USE PERMIT NO. 87-29 Applicant: -Country Cottage Antiques A request to permit a temporary outdoor sale in a shopping center parking lot (May 15 and 16, 1987). Subject property is located at 6885 Warner Avenue (Northwest corner of Warner Avenue and Golden West Street). This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 4, California Environmental Quality Act, 1986. Staff said this request was for an outdoor sale and was identical to requests approved by the Board twice within the past year. She added the conditions were the same as previously imposed and recommended approval of the request. UPON MOTION BY EVANS AND SECOND BY POE, USE PERMIT NO. 87-29 WAS APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL: 1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the use will not be detrimental to: -10- 5/6/87 - BZA J 1 Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments May 6, 1987 Page 11 a.
