Page 2
Mr. Walker represented the Public Works Department and-was amenable.
Mr. ~McIntosh also addressed Planning Department Condition 7, page 8 of
8 requesting that the condition be deleted since they are not adding
anymore lots, merely gaining a lot because they have moved the 'sump off
of one of the lots in the first phase.
Mr. Hardisty was in agreement.
-Mr. McIntosh referred to Planning Department Condition 11, page 8 of 8
commenting that the original Tract Map 5073 did not have that condition
and preferred that the tr~act be entered into a maintenance district
rather than form a homeowner's association.
Mr. Hardisty commented that it could be included as a part of the over-
all landscaping for the subdivision. He then indicated that Condition~
11 could be changed~to require that the landscaping shall be maintained
by the maintenance district for the property.
Chairperson Rosenlieb asked Mr. McIntosh if he had any objection if
the last sent'ence of Condition 10 would read; Installation of the 7rl/2
foot wide landscaping area may be deferred.
Mr. Mclntosh was amenable.
Mr. Hardisty informed Commission that the Park Division submitted a
series of standard conditions that apply ~to landscaping along street
that they may want to incorporate into the conditions of approval
in lieu of Condition 11.
Mr. McIntosh commented it was acceptable except for Condition 1 which
is already covered in a prior condition. He also referred to Condition
9 of page 8 of 8 asking that the words "of Phase 2" be inserted after
prior to recordation.
Mr. HardistY indicated th'at is acceptable.
It was clarified that this tract is in Maintenance District 21.
Chairperson R0senlieb referred to Condition 9 indicating that the land-
scaping should be put in at the same time Which is Condition 10, and in
that condition it indicates that landscaping shall be installed at the
issuance of the first building permit on the R-2 zone property.
Mr. Hardisty replied that the words prior to recordation should be in
both Conditions 9 and 10.
Mr. McIntosh commented that he would like to see the condition read,
prior to a building permit because the. landscaping that will most
likely go in there would all be done at one time.

sional' office, urgent care, medical, dental, child care facilities,

ings did specifically list child care and churches as permitted uses.
Mr~ Dhanens addrgssed the issues raised by those in opposition.

larger commercial site.
Chairperson Rosenlieb commented that when this developer first proposed
this specific plan there Was already an existing specific plan with a
monumental amount of Commercial spread everywhere with a traffic impact
that was phenomenal for the area, and a 14-acre site is certainly an
adequate site size for a neighborhood commercial center.
Commissioner Anderson asked for Mr. Bidwell's interpretation regarding
allowable signage.
Mr. Bidwell replied that it applies to numbers and areas and not to
height.
Commissioner Anderson stated his concern for neighbors across the
street from this proposed project, and suggested that consideration be
given to having some kind of comprehensive sign requirement.
Mr. Milazzo commented.that they intend to be sensitive to signage,
lighting, screening, loading docks, and all the features that adversely
~affect neighborhoods, and asked that additional signage restrictions
not be imposed on them.
Extensive discussion took place regarding signage in various shopping
centers.

10. GPA 1-91, SEGMENT VII & ZONE CHANGE 5148 (continued). '-~
Traffi. c Engineer, Steve'Walker referenced his memo dated February .28~
1991 indicating it has been the practice that when medians are required
in an area.like this fo not necessarily tell them they will have access
points, and wait until ~they have an actual plan that shows where an
access would go. There was concern by staff because it was unknown the
exact location of the most easterly drive and how that would effect
access to the church and school property to the ~outh. He further
stated they do not want a left turn into the most westerly drive, so a
median is required~ He further commented that he was neutral whether
there is needed a drive into the most easterly drive.

MUNICIPAL CODE WITH PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS, APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
AND LANDSCAPING
The ordinance has been amended to reflect existing site plan review
procedures. Procedures originally adopted proved too cumbersome and
time consuming with bi-weekly meetings to implement. The process pro-
posed and currently-used (daily review of plans submitted) is more effi-
cient than the original direction provided by the ordinance.
'Public hearing was opened.
-Ms. Barbara Don Carlos representing the BIA commented they have several
concerns and would like to either review them now or go to committee.
Mr. Hardisty briefly reviewed written comments from Mr. Roger McIntosh.

plan review document, and requested that if a manual does exist they
would like the opportunity to review it.

be a little more flexibility perhaps performance standards rather than
simply saying a shade tree is a evergreen tree of that dimension.
Ms. Don Carlos referred to page 10 FC. Revisions to Applications and
asked if it is anticipated that there would be more work to be done if
it were denied in the first place and revised thin if it were approved
in the first place and then revised.

after approval.
Ms. ~on Carlos referenced page 11 #6 and stated conditions the two

Mr. Hardisty commented that he would like to report back to the
Commission on this item at the next meeting. .
Ms. Don carlos regerred to H. of page 11, and indicated they would like
to see commencement'of construction remain and two and one-half years

person assurances that' the ordinances are going to be the same.

dards, paragraph B and commented on the concern by the civil engineers
in the association that it is extremely difficult to get landscaping
plans through the Parks Department in a timely manner that .requiring
that the landscape plans be approved prior to the final approval of the
site plan would almost necessitate some kind of a time restriction and
performance requirement for the Parks Department to respond in a timely
manner with their approval.
Mr. Hardisty replied that a reSp°nse to a~plan should be done in a
timely manner and .landscaping of private property is not reviewed by
the Parks Department. ~
Ms~ Don Carlos referred to pages 12 and 14 ~egarding completion of
landscaPing Pr~ior to occupancy and surety bonds and asked that clarifi-
cation needs to be made that upon approval of the 'Planning ~Director in
that it makes two statements that are not quite the~same.
Mr. Hardisty suggested that in the terms of response to plan~ in a
timely'manner that the Planning Director be given the authority to be
able to press the other departments on quick turn-arounds on plans.
Mr. Dennis Fox made comment with respect to conformance of AB 235 of
199Owhich requires that all jurisdictions have a master landscape plan'
that conforms to drought conditions.
Mr. Hardisty informed Mr. Fox and Commission t~at staff is aware of the
new law and is preparing for its implementation.

sentence, Clarify change of dse; page 1, item A, the E Zone should be
~inserted; page 3, Section 17.53.051 asked why Commission is reviewing
them if Council adopts standards and policies.
Mr. Hardisty replied that the Planning Commission has the authority to
adopt them but the City Coudcil is in the position of having to endorse
them The City Council cannot change them, simply adopt them.
