change to the project indicates that the review is complete. She added that streamlining would
involve acting at this time and encouraging the applicant to submit a new application with

the applicant and indicated that she will not support any project that requests decreases in open

is the property owner and has nothing to do with the development of the project and addressed
the length of the escrow. He added that he got involved recently and has been working with the
developer to comply with City requirements. He suggested a continuance of thirty days to allow

Carchio agreed.
Councilmember Katapodis wondered if Mr. Golchek is authorized to request proposed changes
and Mr. Golchek indicated that he has been authorized by the developer.
Councilmember Hardy inquired regarding staff preferences and additional costs related to
continuing the matter. Staff reported that it would be preferable for Council to make a decision on
the project at this time, noted that similar commentaries were made at a previous Planning
Commission meeting and that no changes were received subsequently. He noted the applicant
could revise the project and submit an application as soon as the next day with appropriate fees.
Councilmember Hardy noted all of the opportunities provided to the applicant to modify the plans
without them doing so, and indicated she would not support a motion for continuance.
Councilmember Shaw indicated agreement with Councilmember Hardy. He stressed that the plan
does comply with the design guidelines of the Beach/Edinger Corridor Specific Plan and felt that
as presented, it does not provide an asset to the City.
