requirement as set forth in the Zoning Code, as well as the waiver of
approximately six parking spaces.
Discussion ensued regarding this use as it relates to the expanded

reference to December 16, 1971 minutes regarding an off -site parking

Commission discussion began on the ability of the Commission to
change the hours of operation, as well as parking concerns. Motion was
made for approval of Use Permit No. 3586 subject to the finding and
conditions in Exhibit A with the change in hours of operation from 6:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Commissioner Thomson commented that what is being done with this
approval is taking a take -out restaurant with essentially no parking and
changing it, subject to ABC approval, into a full service restaurant with
alcohol beverages served. He cautioned that this should not be done and
that this permit runs with the land. He expressed concerns about the
potential parking problems.
Acting Chairperson Adams asked if the Commission has the ability to
prohibit a certain type of physical arrangement of the premises that may
be allowed with the beer and wine license, namely a beer and wine bar.
Staff answered that adding the following to condition No. 19 ".....that the
addition of a full bar would be considered a change in operational
characteristics which would require an amendment to the Use Permit."
The Assistant City Attorney agreed with this concept and also added that
the Commission could restrict alcohol beverages to table service.
Mr. Ghazi, at Commission inquiry, said his intention was to have beer
and wine service only.

1. That the proposed development, as proposed and conditioned, is
consistent with the General Plan and is compatible with
surrounding land uses, because the restaurant use is allowed by
the General Plan and typical of the uses found in the commercial

2. That this project has been reviewed, and it has been determined

California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 (Existing
Facilities).
3. That the design of the proposed improvements will not conflict
with any easements acquired by the public at large for access
through or use of property within the proposed development,
since the facility is not proposed to be structurally altered.
4. That public improvements may be required of a developer per
Section 20.80.060 of the Municipal Code in accordance with
Ordinance and the Public Works Department.
5. That the waiver of development standards as they pertain to
parking and traffic control, a portion of the required off - street
parking (6 spaces), walls (surrounding the restaurant site),
landscaping, lighting and underground utilities, will not be
detrimental to surrounding properties and should be waived if the
Planning Commission approves this application, for the following
reasons:
• The existing physical characteristics of the site are not
proposed to be altered.
• Walls would adversely impact traffic circulation and
ingress /egress from the adjacent alley.
• The conversion of the facility into a full service restaurant
does not constitute a significant change to warrant an

Staff presented the staff report and summarized the contents referencing
the exhibits posted on the board. The new plan of all detached, single
family dwellings necessitates changes to the Development Agreement
and PC Text. These changes address the definitions and development
standards contained in the Planned Community Development Plan under
which the project is to be developed. A supplemental report was
distributed to the Commission that includes additional - corrections and
changes to the Planned Community Text and Development Agreement.
Ms. Temple proceeded to explain the supplemental report. One of the
main issues associated with the original approval of the project were
concerns regarding the prior use of a research and development
manufacturing facility and the presence of hazardous materials on site
and below the site. The city's consultant, Lynn Hetherington who has

been overseeing that hazardous material remediation program for the
City, is present and available for a status report.
Acting Chairperson Adams asked how the development standards for the
different lots were developed.
Staff answered that the design and development standards for alleys were
intended to achieve a greater architectural variation on the alley side
setback rather than a standard setback as typical in the zoning code. This
particular set of amendments addresses all of area 4 of the Aeronutronic
Ford Planned Community that were previously addressed by the
