DISCUSSION ITEMS E-1 NORTH OF THE PIER GENERAL PLAN UPDATE On September 15, 1987, the Planning Commission approved the State Beach General Plan Amendment for recommendation to the City Council. At the time of the Planning Commission's action, the 30-day CEQA review period had not yet expired. Now that the CEQA review period has expired, staff has compiled all of the written comments and prepared written responses. As a result of the written comments which were received, staff has prepared a supplemental document for adoption with the State Beach General Plan. The supplement amends the General Plan to address many of the comments which were received. Specifically, the supplement was recommended by the State Parks and Recreation Commission staff in order to address their comments communicated in their September 18, 1987 letter. The supplement also contains items requested by the Planning Commission and other commenting agencies and public members. Since staff is continuing to recommend inclusion of a restaurant in Area I, however,:the supplement does not delete that item from the plan. Lastly, the supplement provides additional graphics to better illustrate the existing and proposed improvements. The Planning Commission also requested further analysis of traffic issues based on the 1,400 space parking structure which was initially erroneously referred to in the plan as a 500 space structure. Present plans for the entrance to the parking structure and Sixth Street call for a traffic signal to be installed. This traffic signal will replace the existing signal.at Fifth Street. Staff feels that this signalization will provide safe ingress/egress to the parking structure and will improve traffic flow on Pacific Coast Highway by increasing the distance between signals. Greer Traffic Consultants are preparing an additional analysis of traffic Li PC Minutes - 10/20/87 -20- (9379d) issues related to the Pierside development. That analysis will also include the traffic signal at Sixth Street. It must also be pointed out that pursuant to a State Parks and Recreation Department staff recommendation, reference to any specific number of spaces in the parking structure has been deleted from the draft General Plan. The appropriate time to examine traffic impacts in more detail will be when a conditional use permit for a parking structure with a specific number of spaces is processed. At the September 15, 1987 meeting, the Planning Commission also requested that staff prepare a standard fiscal impact analysis of the project. Since only Area I contains any significant amount of revenue related development, the attached fiscal analysis addresses only that area. Commissioner Schumacher requested that staff provide a copy of the CalTrans Traffic Study since she has never received one. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECOND BY HIGGINS, FOR THE RECORDS TO SHOW THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECEIVED THE RESPONSE AND COMMENTS REPORT, FISCAL ANALYSIS REPORT, AND GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT REVISION REQUEST; RECOMMEND NO CHANGES TO RESOLUTION 1385; AND DIRECT STAFF TO SUBMIT A REPORT TO COUNCIL INDICATING WHICH ITEMS IN EXHIBIT I HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN THE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT REVISION, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Silva, Schumacher, Higgins, Pierce, Leipzig, Livengood NOES: None ABSENT: Summerell ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED E-2 PROPOSED ALTERNATE SITE TO ESTABLISH A YOUTH CENTER/TEENAGE NIGHT CLUB WITH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT - 16401 GOTHARD STREET The Commission favorably discussed the proposed site for a proposed youth center/teenage night club as a joint use in an industrial zone.
