Page 2
proposed by the applicant, there would be eight (8) cars parking
towards the rear of the property and they would be utilizing this
narrow driveway. This is a standard fifty foot (50') rectangular
lot and Staff could find no land -related hardship for granting such
a variance. Staff recommended denial of the request.
The Public Hearing was opened by the Acting Zoning Administrator,
Michael Strange, and it was determined that the applicant's
representative, Tony Ursino, was not present. Mr. Strange continued
the items until later in the meeting and the Public Hearing was left
open.
Mr. Strange pointed out that the next item, CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 87-57, was also to be represented by Mr. Ursino so it was
additionally postponed.
USE PERMIT NO. 87-59
Applicant: Gib and Cathi Barberis
A request to modify Condition of Approval No. 14 of Use Permit
No. 85-70, which prohibits restaurants with seating at the subject
commercial center (in order to allow seating at the Subway Sandwich
Store). Subject property is located at 6486 Edinger Avenue
(Southwest corner of Edinger Avenue and Edwards Street).
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff stated that the property is located in a shopping center at
the Southwest corner of Edinger Avenue and Edwards Street with
residential property surrounding the shopping center site. Approval
of the center was granted by the Planning Commission with the added
condition regarding restaurants with seating. The applicant is
requesting deletion of this condition to allow seating of twelve
(12) spaces in their sandwich shop. Staff has reviewed the parking
and there would be ample parking on the site. Residents in the
neighborhood have objected to increased usage of the shopping center
and Staff would, therefore, recommend that this project be referred
back to the Planning Commission for their determination.
The Public Hearing was opened by the Acting Zoning Administrator and
the applicants, Gib and Cathi Barberis, were present. Mr. Strange
said he and the Staff member had visited the site and it was his
understanding the applicants were unaware of the restrictive
condition when they originally signed the lease for their operation
at the center; and, the shopping center owners, La Mancha
Development Company, had failed to inform Mr. and Mrs. Barberis of
this restriction. Mr. Barberis confirmed this information and added
that La Mancha had eventually told them to go ahead with their work
(8752d) -2- 7/29/87 - OZA
Minutes of Meeting
H. B. Office of Zoning Administrator
July 29, 1987
Page 3
on the restaurant to install the seats and La Mancha would get the
matter "cleaned up" so they could put in the tables and chairs.
After questioning by Mr. Strange, Mr. Barberis continued that their
operation was a family -oriented restaurant for people in the
immediate area. He added they would like to do something special
for senior citizens but could not do so without seating.
Joan Sue Zimmerman, 16061 Gold Circle, stated she objected to the
seating in the sandwich shop because of additional trash and litter
blowing onto her property and increased parking problems on the
adjacent streets. Ms. Zimmerman mentioned problems which had
previously existed regarding a "medicine shop" in the center. She
said she felt sure that La Mancha had not played "straight pool"
with the Barberis' and had not informed them of the restrictive
seating issue.
Another adjacent resident, Florence Silverstein, 6431 Bellinger,
spoke in objection to allowing the seating since it would increase
problems which already existed - debris and trash, parking, and
fumes from the dry cleaning store in the shopping center.
Ms. Silverstein added her gardener had to spend time cleaning the
debris from her back yard.
Michael Strange reminded the speakers the issues to be considered
were those dealing with the seating - not with the dry cleaning
establishment and the medicine store. Gib and Cathi Barberis
reiterated Mr. Strange's comments and Mrs. Barberis stated that
people eating inside the shop would eliminate outside trash problems
- not increase them. She added that if there was a trash problem,
it would be a situation to be resolved by the management company.
Mr. Barberis stated they did clean up every day and that he had also
spoken with police officers in the area regarding parking on Edinger
Avenue. He further added that none of their employees parked on
that street.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
request so the Public Hearing was closed by the Acting Zoning
Administrator.
Mr. Strange stated he would refer the item to the Planning
Commission as recommended by Staff. Mrs. Silverstein asked if they
would have to pay the fee for referral to the Planning Commission
and Mr. Strange explained that neither the applicants nor objectors
would have to pay a fee since it was being referred by the Acting
Zoning Administrator.
USE PERMIT NO. 87-59 WAS REFERRED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION BY

Mr. Strange asked if the project had been approved by the Fire
Department and Ms. Posten replied it had with the stipulation for
sprinklering the rear building because of the distance from the
street.
The Public Hearing was opened and Tony Ursino was present to
represent the applicant, John D. King. Mr. Ursino stated the
revisions were being made as requested by Staff, and the elevations
had been altered for a more pleasing architectural appearance.

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-56
USE PERMIT NO. 87-61
Applicant: H. J. Enterprises
Michael Strange reminded the audience that a Staff report had been
made on these requests and the Public Hearing had remained open.
The applicant's representative, Tony Ursino, was now present and he
was informed that Staff had recommended denial of the project
because of the narrow width of the driveway. Mr. Ursino was further
informed that there was no land -related hardship on the property.
Mr. Ursino said he had done some research and, in March of this
year, the Board of Zoning Adjustments had granted a variance for a
ten foot (10') driveway in the same basic area. He added they were
building a high quality product and he did not understand why Staff
was recommending denial of their project when a precedent had been
established for the neighborhood.
There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.
Mr. Strange stated he had checked the parcel and added he did recall
a project similar to this particular one. He questioned Mr. Ursino
about the turnaround area and Mr. Ursino stated the Fire Department
had insisted on the twenty-five foot (251) turnaround area.
After questioning by Mr. Strange, Ms. Posten remarked that the Fire
Department had stipulated the rear building would require having
sprinklers installed. Mr. Strange suggested the possibility of a

Minutes of Meeting

Page 10
reciprocal driveway but Mr. Ursino said it was not possible.
Mr. Strange and the applicant's representative held a discussion
relative to the traffic flow on the driveway and who would have the
right-of-way. Mr. Ursino explained the driveway was only narrow for
a short distance and then widened out in two other areas.
Mr. Strange stated he had concerns with the unsafe condition which
could possibly be created by eight (8) cars regularly using this
driveway, plus any guests -who might be there. Mr. Ursino reminded
the Acting Zoning Administrator of the other project and also stated
the same Architect had drawn plans for both projects.
Ms. Posten stated that if the project was approved, the applicant
should provide privacy walls for the decks/patios, as well as
dedications for Newman Avenue.
Mr. Strange added he did not see how the applicant could revise the
project without destroying the existing residence but suggested that
the row of hedges be cut down for better viewing. Mr. Strange asked
that the record reflect there was a -similar project approved by the
Board of Zoning Adjustments at 7860,7862 Newman�Avenue on March 25,
1987.

CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-57
Applicant: Ursino Development
A request to permit a zero foot (0') side yard setback for an
existing patio cover in lieu of the required five foot (5')
setback. Subject property is located at 936 Tenth Street (South
side of Tenth Street approximately fifty feet (50') West of Lake
Street.
This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5,
California Environmental Quality Act, 1986.
Staff said the project was located on Tenth Street just West of Lake
Street. The project has been approved for adding units in the back
but there is a patio room which has not received approval. The
applicant has returned for a variance since the room projects into
the five foot (5') setback area. The Fire Department feels the five
foot (5') area should be kept clear for fire protection access and
the building officials have concern about fire danger from the
existing chimney to the building next door. Staff recommended that
the patio cover be setback to the five foot (5') line and portions
of the room should be removed. The chimney may remain if it
receives approval of the Building Division.
The Public Hearing was opened and Tony Ursino was present.
Mr. Ursino stated the residence was over sixty (60) years old and
the patio cover had been installed in 1964. The present owners did
not know there was a problem with the patio cover until
Inspector Dewayne Anderson came out and advised them to obtain
permits. Mr. Ursino indicated that one end of the patio room was a
wall with sliding doors, and they had left the brick fireplace
intact. Mr. Ursino suggested that one of the walls could be made
into a fire wall since they wanted to keep the cover going all the
way to the fireplace, and that the residence had become "legal
nonconforming" because it had existed in this configuration for so
many years.
Michael Strange reminded Mr. Ursino that the entire project was
subject to all current Code requirements.
Mr. Ursino asked about the roof line and Pamela Posten explained it
would have to be cut back to meet the five foot (5') setback
requirement and the wing wall would have to be moved to coincide
with it. Staff reiterated the chimney could remain if it passed
approval of the building official.
Mr. Ursino further mentioned that the neighbors did not object to
the situation since it had existed for such a long time and they
actually enjoyed the privacy it offered. Mr. Strange said it would
have been helpful if the neighbors had so indicated this feeling.

There was no one else present wishing to speak for or against the
project so the Public Hearing was closed.
Mr. Strange stated the eaves could be cut back to thirty inches
(30") but the support posts and wall would have to be moved back to
the five foot (5') setback line for fire protection access.
Mr. Strange added he would deny the request based on Staff's
findings that the property owner would still have use of the room
and fireplace after it met building and zoning requirements.
Mr. Strange added that the existing side property line wall should
not exceed six feet (6') in height.
CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 87-57 WAS DENIED BY THE ACTING ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS:
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. This is a regularly shaped fifty
foot (50')'wide lot with no unusual topography.
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. Granting of Conditional Exception No. 87-57 would constitute a
special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon properties
in the vicinity.
4. The subject property was legally subdivided and developed in a
manner consistent with applicable zoning laws.
5. Exceptional circumstances do not apply that deprive the subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the same
zone classifications.
There was no further business to be presented to the Acting Zoning
Administrator for review.
