The Clerk announced that this was the time and place Appeal of ZE-82-68 set for the public hearing to consider an appeal from Thorp Henry Thorp, 2134 Orange Avenue, Costa Mesa, concerning the Planning Commission decision for Zone Exception ZE-82-68, request for modification of Condition No. 6 to allow construction of four apartment units in con - Junction with retention of four existing units, located at the above address in an R2 zone. The Development Services Director reviewed a memorandum from.staff dated March 16, 1983, which states that in keeping with a long-standing policy requiring integra- tion of the appearance of old and new units upon redevelopment of a property, the Planning Commission applied Condition No. 6: "All units shall be coordin- ated in exterior appearance. Prior to issuance of building permits, plans shall be submitted and approved for modifications to the exterior of the existing units. These modifications shall be completed prior to occu- pancy of,any.of the new units". The applicant has proposed the following modifications: (1) A "restriction of sale" be recorded prohibiting sale of the property until Condition No. 6 is satisfied. (2) The street and driveway faces of the existing unit be painted blue and the upper building trim be painted white to match the new units. (3) Occupancy of the second new building be allowed following completion of (2) above. (4) Applicant will agree in writing to complete compliance with Condition No. 6 no later than 24 months after occupancy of the first new building. Henry Thorp was present to speak in support of his request, stating that he -lacks the funds to comply with Condition No. 6 due to a two-month delay caused by the recent storms. Mr. Thorp suggested amendments to his original proposal by deleting the second modification and changing the fourth modification to read, "Applicant will agree in writing to complete compliance with Condi- tion No. 6 within 12 months after full occupancy of the first new building. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, spoke in support of Mr. Thorp's request. There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilman McFarland explained that park, permit, and plan check fees are required of all developers. He 7Ja 6 expressed his support of the City's policy that when there is new construction on a site, the older buildings should be upgraded to conform with the new structure. Councilman McFarland also stated that other developers have met -with financial problems and, in his opinion, the City should not become involved in these affairs. Councilman McFarland made.a motion to uphold the Plan- ning Commission's decision that the appellant comply with Condition No. 6; however, the motion died for lack of a second. MOTION A motion was made by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Modifications Vice Mayor Johnson, that a "restriction of sale" accept - Approved able to the City Attorney be recorded prohibiting sale of the property until Condition No. 6 has been satis- fied, and that the applicant agree in writing to complete compliance with Condition No. 6 within 12 months after occupancy of the first new building. The motion carried 4-1, Councilman McFarland voting no. RECESS The Mayor declared a recess at 8:00 p.m., and the meet- ing reconvened at 8:10 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced that this was the time and place Appeal of ZE-83-10 set for the public hearing to consider a communication Loeb and Loeb/ frau Loeb and Loeb, representing the property owner, Dick/Burns appealing the Planning Carnnission's decision for Zone Exception ZE-83-10, Richard N. Dick, authorized agent for James A. Burns, Post Office Box 329, La Jolla, for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a cable television company with two microwave dishes and an antenna on an existing cammercial building located at 250 Ogle Street, in a C1 -S zone. Environmental Determination: Negative Declaration. The Affidavit of Mailing is on file in the Clerk's office. Application for Waiver of Dedication has been received fran Richard N. Dick, 359 San Miguel Drive, Suite 304, Newport Beach, requesting waiver of the following condi- tions: Condition No. 12, "Dedicate all land 27 feet from the centerline of Westminster Avenue"; and Condi- tion No. 13, "Dedicate a 15 -foot radius corner cut-off at the corner of Ogle Street and Westminster Avenue". Communications in opposition to the zone exception have been received frau Frank Moss, Trustee, Ruth E. Osborne Trust, Post Office Box 8507, Newport Beach, and Kenneth L. Hartman, President of Mesa Center Corporation, 230 East 17th Street, Costa Mesa. The Development Services Director referred to staff's memorandum dated March 17, 1983, which details the background of subject application. In the memorandum, it was pointed out that the portion of the request for installation of an antenna was deleted prior to the Planning Commission public hearing. The appellant, Loeb and Loeb, contends that the Planning Commission failed to follow statutory procedures and that approval was based on insufficient and erroneous findings. The.appeal states that the City accepted the Planning Action Application form with the signature of the long -tern lease holder rather than the owner of record, however, the City Attorney has determined that a long-term lease holder may sign the application in place of the owner of record. The property owner also states within the appeal that evidence presented did not satisfy that section of the Municipal Code showing hardship for approval of a zone 1 i1 ,341-1 exception. However, the Code states that a zone excep- tion permit may be granted if the permit substantially meets the four conditions. Because Zone Exception ZE-83-10 is a Conditional Use Permit and not a variance, proof of hardship is not essential. The appellant contends that the proposed use is not compatible with the C1 -S (Shopping Center District) zone, however, the proposed studio will utilize only 10 percent of the existing commercial building and will be used on a part-time basis. The Director of Development Services concluded his summary by reporting that in past similar cases, it has been recommended by staff, and approved by Council, that requirements for dedication be waived if the new use will not generate a significantly higher traffic volume to the site. Staff suggests that the new use will not generate additional traffic but may generate less traf- fic than the former use because of the reduction of customer traffic to the site. The Planning staff has recommended that the Planning Commission approval of Zone Exception ZE-83-10 be up- held, and that Conditions No. 12 and 13 be waived. Alder Pearce of Loeb and Loeb was present to answer questions from the Council and spoke in support of the contents of.the appeal. At the request of the Mayor, the City Attorney stated his opinion that the City was within legal guidelines in accepting the signature of the property possessor on .the application for the Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Pearce reiterated his opinion that the proposed use is not compatible with the area and would be more appropriate in the light industry zone. He also stated that since Mr. Dick's request for waiver of dedication was not filed until after the deadline for filing an appeal, that the request should be barred. At the request of the Mayor, the City Attorney responded to Mr. Pearce's contention that the waiver of dedication should be barred. He stated that once an appeal is filed for a public hearing before the Council, the entire application is considered for approval or denial. Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, spoke regard- ing dedications, weed abatement, and the method of ascertaining the owner of a property. There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the public hearing. , During discussion, the City Attorney pointed out that the permit, if approved, would be in force for one year, after which time the Development Services Director had the authority to extend the permit if no adverse impact has existed, and that this is a means for the City to review a permit after one year. MOTION A motion was made by Councilman McFarland to adopt the ZE-83-10 Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact and to Approved approve Zone Exception ZE-83-10, based on the findings and analysis contained in the Staff Report, the memoran- dum from staff dated March 17, 1983, and the comments by the City Attorney; and subject to all conditions except -Conditions No. 12 and No. 13 which were deleted. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Hertzog, and carried 5-0. NEW BUSINESS The Clerk presented Zone Exception ZE-83-16, Mark Chi, ZE-83-16 authorized agent for Lam Cheong Kwong, 720 West 19th Chi/Kwong Street, Costa Mesa, for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an addition to an existing nonconforming commer- cial structure located at the above address in a Cl zone. Environmental Determination: Exempt. The Development Services Director reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval subject to conditions and instructed staff to amend the wording for Condition No. 21 prior to the Council meeting in order to accommodate the concern of the applicant regarding the possible formation of an assessment district on Sterling Avenue. Condition No. 21 now reads as follows: (a) Dedicate all land 52 feet from the centerline of West 19th Street prior to issuance of build- ing permits. (b) Dedicate all land 13 feet from the centerline of Sterling Avenue prior to occupancy. If an assessment district is formed for acquisition and improvement of Sterling Avenue right-of- way, ightof- way, the dedication requirement may be fulfilled through the assessment district. James Baze, 720 West 19th Street, Costa Mesa, repre- senting the applicant, referred to Condition No. 21(b), stating that the applicant would prefer to dedicate the property instead of the dedication being made part of a condition for approval. Mr. Baze explained that the request is being made so that the applicant can use the dedication as a tax write-off. If the dedication is a condition for approval, the write-off will not be possible. The City Attorney recommended that this item be con- tinued so that he can investigate the request proposed by Mr. Baze. MOTION A motion was made by Councilwoman Schafer, seconded by Held Over Vice Mayor Johnson, and carried 5-0, to continue this item to April 18, 1983. EP -83-01 The Clerk presented Encroachment Permit EP -83-01, Howell Gregory Howell, 1700 Placentia Avenue, Costa Mesa, to allow landscaping and one parking space in the public right-of-way, located at the above address in an MG zone.

Petition for The Clerk presented a communication from Ann Marie Wall Along San Murphy of Tarbell Realtors, and a petition from Joseph Diego Freeway Fratt, 1682 Rhode Island Circle, Costa Mesa, containing signatures of Mesa Verde North homeowners, requesting that a wall be erected adjacent to the San Diego (405) Freeway from the Santa Ana River to the Harbor Boule- vard off -ramp, to eliminate noise and air pollution. Joseph Fratt spoke on behalf of Mesa Verde North home- owners. Mr. Fratt reported that the trees along the freeway were damaged by the recent storms resulting in CALTRANS removing the trees. Since then, noise and air pollution has increased considerably, and the safety of residents in the area has been impaired. Mr. Fratt 313 also advised the Council that he had made a request to CALTRANS to take sound readings, however, he was told that it was not within the jurisdiction of CALTRANS to take such readings and that it would have to be done by the City. Mr. Fratt submitted a letter from CALTRANS which advises that subject area does not qualify for its Community Noise Abatement Program because the residences were built after completion of the freeway. Mr. Fratt submitted a letter from Mesa Verde Villas Homeowners Association supporting his petition for construction of a wall. He also submitted a letter from Key Realtors, 9582 Hamilton Street, Huntington Beach, indicating that homes in the area have depre- ciated in value. Mayor Hall stated that staff must explore options,to alleviate the pollution problem. George.Cote, 1668 New Hampshire Drive, asked if repre- sentatives from the neighborhood could work with the Director of Public Services to resolve the problem. Mayor Hall responded that the Director would be in contact with the residents. Virginia Goddard, 1634-C Iowa Street, expressed her concern for the safety of the children who attend the TeWinkle and California schools. Harold Johnson, 1655 New Hampshire Drive, stated that since the shrubbery has been removed, the noise has greatly increased. The following residents also spoke in support of the petition: Mickey Velderrain, 1626-D Iowa Street; Gail Carlmark, 3332 Wyoming Circle; Joyce Danuser, 1653 New Hampshire Drive; and Norman Harlin, 3326 Maryland Circle. Mayor Hall suggested that Council direct the City Manager to investigate options to construct a sound barrier in this area and to bring back a report. Councilwoman Hertzog suggested that the residents sub- mit names of people to serve on a committee to work with the City in resolving the noise problem. MOTION A motion was made by Councilwoman Hertzog, seconded by Options to be Vice Mayor Johnson, directing the City Manager to Investigated investigate alternatives to relieve the noise problem and recommending that a citizens committee be formed to work with staff. The motion carried 5-0. Billboards The Clerk presented an interim ordinance establishing or Outdoor a moratorium on the issuance of building permits or the Advertising processing of zone exception permits for billboards or outdoor advertising. The Development -Services Director reported that the proposed ordinance establishes a 45 -day moratorium on applications for outdoor advertising structures (bill- boards) in Costa Mesa pending completion of an ordinance regulating these structures. He also stated that the moratorium may be extended. California Government Code Section 65850(b) authorizes a city to "regulate signs and billboards", however, the U.S. Supreme Court recently overturned a California Supreme Court decision upholding a San Diego ordinance banning billboards. Staff has drafted an ordinance to regulate billboards but the earliest this law can take effect is June, 1983. The proposed moratorium is designed to preclude appli- cations for billboards while the Council is considering the new regulation for these signs.
