ATTACHMENT A
The parties appealing the decision of the City Planning Commission with respect to PA 13-21
and TI' 17658 are the joint owners of the property known as 2013 Placentia Avenue, Costa
Mesa, which is the property immediately adjacent to the proposed project. 'The owners are:
The Ashwill Trust
Gregory Ashwill, individually and as trustee of The Gregory I Ashwill Trust
Mitchel Ashwill, individually and as trustee of The Mitchell R. Ashwill Trust
A'T'TACHMENT 13
The decision of the City Planning Commission with respect to PA 13-21 and TT -17658 was
unreasonable and arbitrary and capricious because it failed to adequately consider the following:
1. Potential traffic and safety issues related to shared use of access by virtue of an easement with
existing industrial use on 2013 Placentia. The original easement was created almost 55 years ago
and did not contemplate residential use of either property, It provides the only access to 2013
Placentia (including access for emergency vehicles). For additional information, please see letter
dated February 4, 2014 from Greg Ashwill to Minoo Ashabi, Principal Planner, City of Costa
Mesa attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The project as approved permits 10 residential garages to be
placed without setback on the edge of the 24 foot shared access easement (12 feet on either
property). The staff Supplemental Memorandum prepared for the City Planning Commission
dated February 5, 2014 (the "Staff Report") incorrectly stated that the driveway provides an
independent width of more than 15 feet to the garage doors which is entirely on the project site.
Because access to the garages necessarily requires use of the easement located on 2013
Placentia, the project cannot be approved without the consent of the owners of 2013 Placentia.
The Staff Report incorrectly concludes that there is no intensification of use on the access
easement and the location of the garages will not interfere with the use on 2013 Placentia. The
Staff Report ignored and thus, the City Planning Commission failed to consider, the potential for
accidents due to cars backing out of garages into a shared driveway with industrial vehicles,
especially in the morning rush hour.
2. Potential traffic and safety issues related to potential redevelopment of 2013 Placentia for
residential use. The City Planning Commission failed to consider the intensification of the use
of the shared access drive if 2013 Placentia were to be redeveloped for residential use and, thus,
the potential limitations on such redevelopment.
3. The decision of the City Planning Commission failed to provide for a definitive plan with
respect to management of the construction of the Project so as not to interfere with access to
2013 Placentia during construction.
