approved for occupancy. Dennis Krejci stated that, if it was not
already currently safe, it would have to be brought up to seismic
standards.

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-39
USE PERMIT NO. 87-41
Applicant: Dewayne Brown
CE REQUEST: To permit a four foot (4') wide landscape buffer
adjacent to residentially zoned property in lieu of a six foot (6')
wide buffer.
UP REQUEST: To permit a thirteen thousand, five hundred fourteen
(13,514) Square Foot industrial building within one hundred fifty
feet (150') of residentially zoned property.
Subject property is located at 5266 System Drive (Southeast corner
of Chemical Lane and System Drive).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff reported this request was for an industrial building on a
currently vacant flag -shaped lot. Residential property abuts the
West property line and the South property line runs along the flood
channel. The Fire Department has reviewed and basically approved
the plan. The applicant has sufficient parking and could meet the
setback requirements by reducing the building size by two feet
(21). However, the applicant is requesting a variance from the
required six foot (6') landscaper buffer by providing a four foot
(4') landscape planter along the westerly property line. Staff
recommended -denial of the Conditional Exception variance but
approval of the Use Permit with conditions.
Daryl Smith asked for verification from Staff that the applicant
would lose two feet (21) of building space if the Conditional
Exception was not granted and Staff replied that was correct.

The Public Hearing was opened by Chairman Krejci and Robert Brown
was present to represent the applicant. Mr. Brown stated this was
the last buildable lot in this area on Chemical Lane and System
Drive. This is a flag -shaped lot and has created difficulties in
designing the building. He added the applicant needed the
additional two feet (2') on the building for leasing purposes and
activities in the building.
The architect for the project, John Madsen, stated the four foot
(4') landscape planter would provide space for planting trees which
would help buffer any sounds from the industrial building.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.
Daryl Smith added that in some cases the City Council and Planning
Commission have required eight foot (8') wide buffers in lieu of the
six foot (6') ones where an industrial building was adjacent to
residential property. He added the four foot (4') landscape buffer
would not be sufficiently wide to allow proper growth for trees and
would ultimately damage the wall and/or parking lot.
UPON MOTION BY SMITH AND SECOND BY STRANGE, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 87-39 WAS DENIED WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING
VOTE:
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. Because of the size, configuration, shape and lack of unique
topographic features of the subject property, there does not
appear to be exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the land, buildings or premises
involved that does not apply generally to property or class of
uses in the same district.
2. Since the subject property can be fully developed within
regular established setbacks, such a Conditional Exception is
not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial
property rights.
3. The proposed setback will not be compatible with adjacent
residential properties. A six foot (6') wide buffer should be
required in accordance with Ordinance Code requirements.
4. Granting of Conditional Exception No. 87-39 would constitute a
special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon properties
in the vicinity.
5. Exceptional circumstances do not
property of privileges enjoyed by
zone classifications.

USE PERMIT NO. 87-40
Applicant: •David Ida
A request to permit a two (2) car garage addition to a single family
home with an existing nonconforming front yard setback. Subject
property is located at 724 Fourteenth Street (East side of
Fourteenth Street approximately two hundred seventy-five feet (275')
North of Palm Avenue).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 1,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff reported this application was for a twenty-five foot (25')
wide property with alley access in an R-1 Zone. The applicant is
proposing removal of an old one -car garage to be replaced with a new
two -car garage. The existing property has a nonconforming setback
in front but the rest of the house and the new addition will comply
with Code requirements. Staff recommended approval with conditions.
Dennis Krejci asked for clarification of the nonconforming status.
Staff indicated the property had conformed with Codes when it was
built but the Code had been changed since that time.
The Public Hearing was opened and David Ida was present. Mr. Ida
stated the garage was built approximately fifty (50) years ago and a
modern car could not be parked inside it. He added he wanted to
replace the existing garage with a new two -car garage and had
changed the roof line from a flat roof as shown on the original
plans to a pitch roof. The Board concurred with this change.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.

USE PERMIT NO. 87-42
Applicant: Tuan Minh Vu
A request to permit a temporary outdoor sale in a parking lot
(June 12 through -June 21, 1987). Subject property is located at
7738 Edinger Avenue (Southeast corner of Sher Lane and Edinger
Avenue).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 4,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff reported this request was to allow erection -of a tent in a
parking lot for a ten (10) day sale. The applicant will need to
obtain approval of the tent material and construction from the Fire
Department and to obtain electrical permits from the Building
Division. Staff recommended approval with conditions.
Daryl Smith asked if tenants of the shopping center had been
notified and Staff replied that adjacent property owners had been
notified as required - not the tenants. Mr. Smith expressed concern
that tenants such as Leo's Stereo might be inconvenienced by lack of
parking for such a long period of time. This was followed by a
discussion regarding the parking situation in this particular center
and it was determined that several tenant spaces were vacant.
Mr. Smith suggested a condition that the sale be approved for ten
(10) days with review by Staff after five (5) days. If any problems
were found to exist, the sale would be stopped at that time.
Michael Strange stated it was his understanding that the Zoning Code
allowed temporary outdoor events for up to twenty-one (21) days and
he would prefer continuing the item than stopping the applicant in
"mid -stream" on his sale. Tom Poe reminded the Board the requested
date for starting the sale was June 12th so the request could not be
continued.
The Public Hearing was opened and Tuan Minh Vu was present. Mr. Vu
stated the tent would be placed in the middle of the parking lot in
front of his business and there would be plenty of remaining
parking. He added that Charlie's Warehouse was near his operation
and neither of them had much business. Mr. Vu stated that Leo's
Stereo had ample parking in front of their business.
Dennis Krejci asked Tom Poe about the Fire Department requirement
for deleting parking spaces within thirty feet (30') of the tent -
which would eliminate approximately sixty (60) parking spaces.
Mr. Poe verified that Mr. Krejci's comment was correct.

request so the Public Hearing was closed.
Daryl Smith asked for a condition requiring the applicant to repair
the asphalt of the parking lot if there were any posts, poles or
holes placed in the asphalt for placement of the tent. Mr. Smith
also requested a Finding which would stipulate that the Board
considered the fact the shopping center was not fully leased before
granting approval of a ten (10) day event.
Michael Strange stated the condition should be included which
restricted parking within thirty feet (30') of the tent and Tom Poe
indicated there were other regulations required by the Fire
Department which still had to be approved before the Certificate to
Operate was issued.
Les Evans said he would move for approval with amended findings and
conditions and Michael Strange seconded the motion.
Daryl Smith asked if the maker and seconder of the motion would add
a condition requiring that the applicant provide clean up of the
area on a daily basis, as well as the condition for patching or
repairing the asphalt. Both the maker and seconder accepted the
amendments.

USE PERMIT NO. 87-43
Applicant: Alex Beauroyre
A request to permit a four (4) unit apartment complex which is
located more than one hundred fifty feet (150') from a public
street. Subject property is located at 16781 Roosevelt Lane (West
side of Roosevelt Lane extension one hundred seventy feet (170')
South of Pearce Street).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff indicated this was a request for a four-plex to be located on
Roosevelt Lane and will be approximately one hundred and sixty-nine
feet (169') from the nearest public street. The applicant is
proposing one two-story unit but the other units will be above
garages. Because of the proximity to Meadowlark Airport, the
applicant will have to contact the FAA for clearance requirements.
Staff recommended that the site plan and buildings be reversed so
the driveway would match the established pattern on the street.
Unit "A" should also be revised for more pleasing elevation and roof
lines. One garage must be converted to open space guest parking and
the applicant will need to submit a parcel map or proof of legal
creation of the lot. Staff also requested a letter to be recorded
as a covenant against the property declaring it will remain as four
(4) dwelling units and this letter should be filed prior to issuance
of building permits.
Daryl Smith clarified with Staff the reason the request was before
the Board - that it was required because of being more than one
hundred fifty feet (150') from a public street; otherwise, it would
not have required a Use Permit. Mr. Smith discussed with Les Evans
the necessity for street improvements on both involved streets - one
to public street standards and the other to private street standards.

Minutes, H. B. Board of Zoning Adjustments

Dennis Krejci reminded Staff that recently the Board had heard a
similar case where the number of gas and electric meters were
restricted and asked if that should be added as a condition on this
project. Staff replied it could be restricted to four (4) each gas
meters and mail boxes but five (5) electrical meters for outside
lighting.
The Public Hearing was opened and the applicant, Alex Beauroyre, was
present. He asked his contractor, Ron Burns, to speak in his
behalf. Mr. Burns said he did not understand the Board's concern
with the architecture of the buildings since they were so far from a
public street. Les Evans explained that any time an application
appeared before the Board, it opened up any physical aspects or
questions the Board might have regarding the project - including
whether or not it fit into the neighborhood.
Mr. Burns objected to reversing the driveway and buildings and said
it would require all new drawings before being approved by the
Building Division. He added the grading plans and street
improvement plans were already complete and it would cost about
$6,000.00 to get new plans drawn. Dennis Krejci assured Mr. Burns
that, in this one instance, the Building Division would accept his
reversed plans.
Cheryle Browning, 16771 Roosevelt Lane, spoke in objection to the
project, stating the grading of the lot would be approximately three
feet (31) higher than her own adjacent lot. She expressed concern
over the height of the building because of proximity to the airport,
the number of enclosed garages, and properly saw cutting a portion
of her patio which was on the applicant's property. She also
requested that the buildings be "flip-flopped" so the driveways
would create the proper pattern along the street.
Mr. Burns added he did not feel it was the responsibility of his
company to saw cut a patio which had been encroaching on his
property for several years. Les Evans said he would suggest a
condition to the effect that it would be properly saw cut at the
property line. A further discussion ensued concerning the problems
involved with reversing the plans and driveway, the required street
improvements and dedications, the height of the building, altering
Unit "A", drainage, etc.
Mr. Burns initiated a discussion relative to the location of
Ms. Browning's driveway and presented photographs indicating the
locations of two (2) driveways into her property. Ms. Browning said
her garage was currently closed but the driveway had been on the
North side. She added she was in the process of moving it to the
front.
