He spoke of the benefits to the City: revenues could run as high as $40,000 per year depending on the materials harvested; that funds are restricted to the care and maintenance of tide lots which would be a savings to the General Fund. 1/25/84 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 200 CITY MANAGER 13.

He retraced the Planning Commission action and enumerated the fin- dings in the Staff Report which led to the denial of Negative Declaration No. 422 and Use Permit UP-670. He spoke of Ordinance No. 925-83 which prohibits uses which may conflict with the proposed General Plan and that this use permit had inconsistencies between the proposed industrial use and the planned commercial designation on the General Plan. Mayor Addiego opened the Public Hearing and invited those wishing to speak in favor of the appeal to step to the dias. Gary Royce, Esq., 421 Grand Avenue, spoke of the merits of public storage facili- ties which provide services to the com- munity and of the applicant's willingness to present a project that the City Council be proud of in the community. He stated that Mr. Jacobsen had sold the property to his client Public Storage and with authorization by the City the property would be developed. He stated that Planning Commissioner Mantegani had asked at a meeting if the Commission could consider the specific plan and had been told that because of the Interim Ordinance they could not consider the merits of the structure. He stated that his client had two parcels and that the storage facility as it was now situated lays on both parcels. He continued, the 1/25/84 Page 6 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 14. Public Hearing - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT proposed plan extended the total square footage. He stated that the proposed plan extended the total square footage of the buildings, yet the proposed structure in effect reduced the volume of building that was going to be placed on the pro- perty which he felt was important. He made mention of language in the Ordinance that said if one had an existing legal non-conforming use that is consistent even though the proposed zoning was dif- ferent - it is now zoned light industrial. Councilman Nicolopulos stated that he did not understand why the appeal was for Mr. Jacobsen yet being discussed was Public Storage. Discussion followed: that Mr. Jacobsen's interests had been assigned to Public Storage; that the title for the property was in escrow; that Mr. Royce was repre- senting Public Storage and Lyons Restaurants; whether Mr. Royce had a legal standing to proceed with the appeal; that Mr. Royce had appeared in the same capacity at each of the Planning Commission meetings; that the City's Attorney was in Long Beach and was not available; that Public Storage was the co-applicant; whether it was a legal con- forming use. Mr. Dan Brown spoke of the areas of the building that were planned to be demolished. Mayor Addiego invited those wishing to speak against the appeal to step the dais - no one chose to speak. He then closed the Public Hearing. Director of Community Development Dell'Angela spoke of a provision for an exemption to the General Plan proposal that had been discussed by the Commission if they had made a finding of acceptance of the use. 1/25/84 Page ? AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 14. Public Hearing - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Mayor Addiego stated that Attorney Royce had countered most of the points with the exception of the actual traffic problem which he had not addressed. Gary Royce, Esq., stated that a traffic study had been made by Person & Associates. He stated that the amount of traffic generated by a public facility was equivalent to ten percent of the traffic that was approved for the parcel. He continued, that seventeen trips per hour would be generated which was mini- mal. He felt that the use was compatible and that the facility could be designed in any way that the City wanted for the benefit of the community. Vice Mayor Haffey spoke on Finding 4~ that the proposed lot coverage is excessive and would result in an over- building of the site. Discussion followed on the configuration of the building and lot; separate entran- ces for the office space and the mini storage; drawings of a proposed Lyon's Restaurant on the site; that a hotel had once been proposed for the site; that the Planning Commission did not feel that public storage was a good use for the site; that the existing use was con- sistent and the proposed use was not consistent; why the Commission determined that a 200 room hotel was a good use of the property when it would generate more traffic problems than the storage facility; that the facility did not have access to San Mateo Avenue; the appearance of the building. Mr. Wadell, Lyon' s Restaurants, stated that Public Storage was quite willing to offer alternatives to please the City: to architecturally design a building using only the existing building; demo- lish the building and build a Lyon's Restaurant, presented an artistic ren- dering of the proposed building. 1/25/84 Page 8 AGENDA ACTIO, TAKEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 14.
