Applicant:
Dr. Quinton Robertson
95 37th Avenue
San Mateo, CA 94403
Mr. Uccelli spoke on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Spengler, the
prospective tenants of the proposed bakery. He stressed the hardship
of the Spenglers in that they have spent over $11,000 in lease
payments to date and have not been able to gain access to the
premises. Mr. Uccelli stated his clients are innocent third parties
who have been acting in good faith and that the owner, Dr. Robertson,
led them to believe there would not be any problems getting approvals
from the city.
Dr. Robertson stated he was willing to comply with conditions that
dealt with his immediate property but that he was not going to comply
with the city's demands that he make improvements along Hickey
Boulevard.
Commissioner Getz remarked that Dr. Robertson never appealed any of
the conditions set forth in the original Use Permit UP-85-743. The
Commissioners all agreed that the Spenglers are unsuspecting victims
but the Commission has to be consistent with the conditions
manifested in October of 1985. Commissioner Terry stated that Dr.
Robertson has been taking from the Winston Manor Shopping Center and
without putting anything back into it. Commissioner Agee asked if
all possibilities have been explored and if there was any way the

way the Spenglers could be accommodated. Director Smith explained
that the conditions would have to be amended in order for this to
occur. Chair Wendler recalled that at the October 10, 1985 Planning
Commission meeting the Commissioners agreed not to allow any new
tenants until the shopping center was cleaned up and that the
Commission must stand united on this issue.
Motion-Getz/Second Terry: To deny UP-85-743/Mod 1 based upon the
findings of the Staff Report and based upon the action of the
Commission taken on October 10, 1985. Unanimously approved by roll
call vote. ABSENT: Commissioner Martin.

AGENDA ITEMS (continued)
(Cassette No.2)
Mr. Ryan read a letter dated April 21, 1986 addressed to Deputy City
Manager Mark Lewis, responding to the legal questions raised at the
April 10, 1986 Planning Commission meeting. Two areas discussed were
the contention of PG&E that a conditional use permit cannot be
required for the installation of transmission lines and an explanation
of the route review process.
Mr. Keegan was concerned with the updated information in the General
Plan regarding the change in the number of units specified for the
Terrabay development and whether the Specific Plan had been modified
also. Director Smith informed him that this was printed in the
General Plan for informational purposes only and was not a policy.
The Habitat Conservation Plan set the maximum of 721 units and all
other documents must concur with that number. Mr. Keegan also asked
what properties were referred to under Policy 5-2 for Sunshine
Gardens. Chair Wendler suggested that Mr. Keegan contact the Planning
Division staff with specific properties in question.
Mr. Dell'Angela, representing Mr. Dick Noftsger of the Garden Chapel
on El Camino Real, requested that the mortuary be retained as a
conforming use. Further, as a representative for Fred Bertetta, Jr.
he asked for clarification on whether or not Olympic Oil on South
Linden Avenue and Georgia-Pacific Truck Depot on East Grand Avenue
were conforming or non-conforming uses. Mr. Dell'Angela requested
that more consideration be given to the creation of non-conforming
uses. He then alluded to other areas of the General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance such as fast food restaurants, second hand stores,
agricultural uses, and sign amortization. Chair Wendler informed Mr.
Dell'Angela that his prior comments were responded to by staff in
writing.
(Cassette No.3)
Motion-Getz/Second Boblitt: To continue the Public Hearing on GP-86-
30, ZA-86-34 and Negative Declaration No. 547 to the first available
agenda in May. Unanimously approved by voice vote. ABSENT:
Commissioner Martin.
Mr. Dell'Angela, as a representative for the Chamber of Commerce,
asked for a tentative schedule of the General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance workshops, as a bulletin is published for the Chamber's
membership and this information would be helpful in alerting the
business community. He was told that this item would be continued to
the May Planning Commission meetings.
Items from Staff
Director Smith informed staff that the City Council upheld the
Commission's decision to deny Genstar's request for an extension.
