ITEM 1: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 95-55
Applicant: William Pettett
Property Owner: Viola B. Murray, 8081 Bolsa Avenue, Midway City, CA 92655
Request: To permit a temporary parking lot for Beach Motors' employees.
Location: 7930 Slater Avenue (vacant lot on the south side of Slater Avenue
approximately 130 feet east of Beach Boulevard)
Susan Pierce, staff planner, stated that this was a request to permit the use of a vacant lot, located
at 7930 Slater Avenue, as a temporary parking lot for Beach Motors' employees for a five (5)
year period. Staff presented site plan of the project and noted that the lot is 56-1/2 feet wide and
125 feet deep with a 30 foot wide driveway. Ms. Pierce stated that a development screening wall
currently exists and that it should not be considered a retaining wall. Staff recommended approval
of this request with suggested conditions of approval. It was recommended that an eight (8) foot
high wall be constructed along the west property line to screen and buffer the proposed use from
the adjacent manufactured home park. The most southern parking space should be marked with
stripes to be used as a turn -around area. Staff also recommended that irrigated landscaping be
installed. Additionally, it was recommended that a vinyl clad chain -linked fence be erected on the
east and south property lines to secure and provide visibility to the parking lot, and parking be
limited to employees between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. only.
r
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
William Pettett, applicant, stated that he believed the block wall was a retaining wall. He was
concerned about the overall cost to construct a new retaining wall.
Mike Gilligan, General Manager of Beach Motors, was present to speak. He clarified that Beach
Motors was undergoing a large expansion and that the use of the vacant lot for employee parking
was an economical solution. It was stated that on -site parking is not always available due to the
fluctuation of in -coming new cars and that his goal was to provide a safe area for his employees to
park. Mr. Gilligan spoke of two (2) items of concern. The first item was that of irrigation, due to
the fact that a property water meter does not exist on the vacant lot. The second item was the
recommended need of a replacement block wall and the costs that would result.
Melodic Harrington, adjacent neighbor, was present to speak on three (3) items of concern. The
first item was the additional traffic that would be generated on Slater. Secondly, she asked for
clarification to make certain the vacant lot would only be used for employee parking and not for
the unloading of trucks. The last item of concern was to make sure there would be security
available for employees walking to and from the lot.
Ronald Harrington, adjacent neighbor, was also present to speak. He was pleased that the vacant
lot was going to be cleared of weeds and debris. His only concern focused on security and the
possibility of vagrants settling on the property.
Randy McLeod, owner of the property on the west side of the vacant lot, was present and
questioned if a new retaining wall would be constructed or if the existing wall would be built up.
He stated that he preferred either an eight (8) foot retaining wall be constructed or a six (6) foot
wall with grading.
THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE
REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mike Strange, Zoning Administrator, asked the applicant to respond to items of security and lot
use. Mr. Pettett stated that an eight (8) foot high slatted fence would be erected and that the lot
would be used for employee parking only, during the day shift which begins at 7:30 a.m. Mr.
Strange stated that hardscaping in the form of decorative paving materials could be used in place
of landscaping to avoid the additional costs of a meter.

Request: To permit the establishment of a 1,395 square foot Diedrich's Coffee with
outdoor dining within the newly constructed Sport Chalet buildings. The
request includes the displacement of four (4) parking stalls in the overall
parking phasing plan.
Location: 16242 Beach Boulevard (southeast corner of Beach and Stark)
Jane Madera, staff planner, stated that this was a request to permit the establishment of a 1,395
square foot Diedrich's Coffee within an existing Sport Chalet building. Outdoor dining is also
part of the request. Staff presented a site plan and noted that this project will eliminate four (4)
parking stalls and that a variance has already been granted for a reduction in parking. It was
determined that additional parking would not be required at this time, however, because sufficient
parking for the Sport Chalet and Diedrich's Coffee uses can currently be provided. Additional
parking will be required at the next phase of construction for the property. Specifically,
Diedrich's Coffee Restaurant requires 13.95 additional spaces. Sport Chalet has provided 6.9
spaces. Thus, the conversion of retail to Diedrich's Coffee Restaurant requires an additional 7.05
spaces. Because four (4) existing spaces will be eliminated by the outdoor dining, a total of 11.05
spaces will be required at Phase II of development of the site. Staff noted that existing
handicapped spaces have been adjusted to fit code requirements. Ms. Madera stated that this
request had been forwarded to the Design Review Board and that it was recommended that
balanced landscaping on the west elevation wall be completed prior to occupancy. It was also
suggested that, if necessary, any traffic impact fees be paid at the time of Certificate of
Occupancy, that the handicapped access be maintained, that all outdoor walkways remain clear,
and that a fire extinguishing system be installed for overall safety. Staff recommended approval of
this request with suggested conditions.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
