Abandonment of Mission Road Easement Between Chestnut Avenue and E1 Camino Real
July 28, 1983 Staff Report presented.
Commi ssi oner Mantegani asked the Di rector of Pub 1 i c Servi ces if thi s request
should be made by the Commission. Mr. Yee responded that in similar situations
an abandonment request is never initiated by the Planning Commission. He stated
that he had no objection to the abandonment but objected to this procedure. He
noted that if the City Council intends to abandon a street they would refer the
matter to the Pl anni ng Commi ssi on. Assi stant Ci ty Attorney Katz advi sed the
Commission that according to State law the City Council initiates street aban-
donment. The Di rector of Communi ty Development stated that the abandonment of
Mission Road was not currently scheduled for City Council consideration and that
a Planning Commission request for the abandonment would expedite action on this
matter.
It was the consensus of the Commission that the usual procedure of abandonment
be followed and the Commission make no recommendation at this time.
Commissioner Getz stepped down and left the meeting at a this time. He advised
the Commission that he would abstain from any discussion or vote on the Oyster

Mr. DelllAngela called the Commission1s attention to revised page 9 of the

(5) Business and Professional Offices
1 space for each 300
square feet of gross floor
space.
Mr. McCl ell an referred to the use for Parcel s 10 and 11. He advi sed that par-
cel 10 is the area for the yacht club.
Ms. Christoffer, representative of the Carnelain Group, developers of parcels 2
and 4, requested that the road between parcel s 4 and 6 be del eted. She al so
objected to the Fire Department requirement that all buildings have a sprinkler
system. She stated that the buildings on parcels 2 and 4 were to be one or two
stories and that the Building Code does not require buildings of this size to be
sprinkled. Deputy Fire Marshal Brian Niswonger responded that due to the
extended response time to reach the area in the event of fire, the Uniform Fire
Code allows the Fire Chief the discretion of requiring sprinklers. Ms.
Christoffer asked what options were open to appeal this requirement. The
Director of Community Development advised that this Specific Plan would be heard
by the Ci ty Counci 1 and that she coul d state her vi ews at the Ci ty Council
Hearing.
Mr. Penna, developer of parcels 1,3, and 8, also requested that sprinklers not
be required for the 1 or 2 story buildings on these parcels.
