PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. redevelopment permit to construct a 5,700 square foot ware- house and add 1,000 square feet of office space to existing buildings at 3235 Tyler Street. RP 86-5 - PUCCI - Request for approval of a major Chris Salomone, Community Redevelopment Manager, gave the first part of the staff report, using slides to show the existing conditions on the site, an aerial view of the site, the location of the new building and the clean-up area. Brian Hunter continued the report using wall charts to show the buildings and elevations. These buildings will be similar to other buildings in that area. Staff is not satisfied with the elevations, but this will clean up the area and eliminate the open storage areas that are unsightly. Chairman Rombotis opened the public hearing at 5:09 p.m. Ralph Pucci, 3235 Tyler Street, the applicant, stated he has been at that location for eight years and it is his desire to upgrade the property. His business is aircraft1 aerospace, employing approximately 45 to 50 people. Mr. Puct stated the material in the back of the building is Government material and tooling and should be under a roof. He feels it would be an improvement to pave the parking area and have a warehouse area to store the material and tooling. Member McCoy stated one of the conditions specified the space between the two office buildings shall be 15 feet for fire department access. The plans show this area to be 13 feet 6 inches wide. Mr. Pucci answered that had been brought to his attention and when the final drawings are submitted, that will include the 15 feet access. He added the material between the buildings will be eliminated. MINUTES DESIGN REVIEW BOARD June 25, 1986 Page 2 In answer to query about the height of trucks, Mr. Pucci stated the highest truck would be similar to a dumpster. He added there would be no canopy between the buildings to restrict the height. Member McCoy stated he would like to see elevation drawings showing that. Mr. Pucci stated there would be manufacturing in the long building and no plans at the present time for more. That would require more equipment. Member McCoy said the parking was based on warehousing only, and there is a difference in the requirement for manufacturing. Mr. Pucci said there would only be warehousing at this time. Member Hall inquired about trucks driving between the two bildings, and Mr. Pucci stated this would be for employee only, with the only equipment to go between the buildings a 3,000 or 6,000 lb. toelift. Chris Salomone added the space between the buildings was for fire access and drainage. Member Holmes commented 36 parking spaces were required, and only 35 had been provided. He suggested the applicant find one additional parking space. Since no one else wished to speak, the public testimony was concluded at 5:16 p.m. Member Schlehuber stated his concern about the parking, stati there was likely to be manufacturing done there, and it would be difficult to determine that. He felt the parking could be a problem. Mr. Pucci stated quite a few of the employees walk to work and others ride motorcycles. There are two shifts, with 30 employees on one shift and 20 on the other. The parking lot is never filled by employees, and with the paving and marking of the parking, it should be more orderly and eliminate any problem. Member Hall stated there is a parking problem in that area, h he did not feel Mr. Pucci was contributing to the Problem. The violators are the residents in the area who do not have sufficient on-site parking. Member Hall commented on Condition 25, stating there would be sidewalks along all streets. He said his understanding was the west side of Tyler was not to have sidewalks. Chris Salomone answered there was no parking and no sidewalks on that side of the street, as they wanted people to walk on the other side of the street. Member Hall asked to have it specified there should be no sidewalks on the west side of Tyler Street. Design Review Board approved the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and adopted the following Resolution RESOLUTION NO. 073, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A REDEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A 5,700 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE AND ADD 1,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE TO AN EXISTING BUILDING AT 3235 TYLER STREET. Amended as follows: Omit Condition 25. Adjust parking to 36 spaces. The driveway between the buildings will be 15 fee in width and the height allowance between buildings to be to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshal.

RP 85-16 - GILBERT'S AUTO BODY Request for a major redevelopment permit to develop an auto body and paint shop at 3293 Roosevelt Street in Subarea 4 of the V-4 Zone. Chris Salomone gave the initial staff report, using a transparency to show the site and slides showing the area. He stated this request had been denied by the Design Review Board and appealed to the Housing and Redevelopment commissio The Commission approved the project and it was returned to staff for conditions and Design Review Board for further consideration. Brian Hunter continued the report using another transparency to show the lots. The denial was based on the improper use according to the Manual and the applicant's inability to meet the parking standards. The site is physically unable to support the parking. Therefore, staff interpreted the approval of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission to indicate approval with inadequate parking. Mr. Hunter used a wall chart to indicate how the applicant could use inside spaces, but this would be a dangerous precedent. Staff there fore preferred the direction of approval with inadequate parking. Other than the parking, the project does meet requirements of the Village Design Manual. Mr. Hunter direct attention to a drawing showing the proposed cinder block building with a tile roof. Chairman Rombotis opened the public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Gilbert Miranda, 3870 Valley Street, the applicant, indicated he had a problem with Conditions 18, 19 and 25. Condition 18 called for all windows to be kept closed during all hours of operation. There is no air conditioning in the building, and with the building being cinder block, that should take care of insulation as far as noise. Condition 19 related to the hours of operation, stating those hours to be 8:OO a.rr to 5:OO p.m., Monday through Friday. Mr. Miranda stated Saturday would be the best work day of the week, and he would request 5:30 p.m. or 6:OO p.m. as closing time. He said he had checked with other body shops and most of them work long hours. Mr. Miranda asked for the same hours as those shops, including Saturday. Condition 25 involved the concrete block storage shed, which would be for flammable materials to keep them away from the main building. This shed would be 10 x 3 feet in size, with a flat roof, to store hazardous material. Member McCoy asked the applicant whether he understood he could not discharge anything into the sewer line unless it wa pre-treated, and Mr. Miranda stated he would have the latest equipment. He stated he understood Conditions 26 and 18. Member Holmes stated the plan showed three doors and the elevation showed only two. The applicant stated it would be three bays. There was a total of 15 parking spaces, which included the three bays. The Board Members stated they did not have the proper plans, and Mr. Miranda said he had submitted new plans at the time the appeal went before the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. Member McCoy asked about the mechanical ventilation and Marty Orenyak stated the building must be mechanically ventilated, as the building and fire codes require that. The spray booth has its own ventilating system that is tied into the lights. Member Schlehuber informed the applicant the plans the Board Members were using did indicate the area would be mechanically ventilated. I . .' MINUTES DESIGN REVIEW BOARD June 25, 1986 Page 4 Joe Castro, 3715 Jefferson, spoke on Condition 18 relating to the hours of work. He said the City trash trucks start at 7:OO a.m. in the morning. Mr. Castro spoke in favor of the proposed project . Since no one else wished to speak, the public testimony was concluded at 5:43 p.m. Member Schlehuber said on the hours of operation, he felt the Board should be more liberal. He asked for staff's recommendation as far as Saturday work and the storage shed. Chris De Cerbo stated staff felt the three-foot encroachment of the storage shed into the parking space was a problem. Member Hall commented storage of flammable material at that corner could be dangerous. Member Schlehuber said if the shed would infringe into the parking, it might fit in the unusable portion of land in the triangular area. He felt the trash bin was another problem. Member Holmes requested Fire Marshal approval. He also commented on the location map showing all single family occupancy around that area. He requested a 6-foot block wall at the north and south property lines and the setback line. All cards would enter and exit from Tyler Street. The maximu opening on east wall would be four feet for a door. He also requested heavy landscaping on the front yard, with all work to be done inside with the doors closed. Member Hall disagreed with Member Holmes, stating it was up to the applicant to solve the sound problem. He called attention to Condition 20, line 3 1/2, the words, "the applicant" and felt that should be changed to "property owner Member Hall stated the man is trying to do a good project in a small area, and he wished him luck. He felt the traffic should not go through Tyler exclusively, but should be a drive-through. The applicant will have to comply with EPA and the Fire Marshal and anyone else involved, and he did not feel it was this Board's job to try to regulate this. If he wants to work at midnight and take his chances, he is the one who must get along with his neighbors. As far as the doors being up or down, when he gets to plan check he will find out what he must do to comply with those standards. Member Hall suggested Conditions 18, 19 and 25 be eliminated from the Resolution. Condition 20 should be changed to eliminate the first three lines and change the words ''the applicant" to "property owner''. adequate protection--and if the applicant wants to park on the street and pay the tickets, he could take his chances. He felt Condition 22 gives Chairman Rombotis stated his approval of Saturday working hours and until 5:30 p.m. He stated he wanted the work to be done inside the building and the location of the storage shed to be to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshal. Design Review Board approved the Negative Declaration issue1 by the Planning Director and adopted the following Resolution -- MINUTES DESIGN REVIEW BOARD June 25, 1986 Page 5 RESOLUTION N0.075, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A REDEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO DEVELOP AN AUTO BODY AND PAINT SHOP AT 3293 ROOSEVELT STREET IN SUBAREA 4 OF THE VILLAGE REDEVELOPMENT AREA. Amended as follows: Hours of operation to be 8:OO a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Condition 20 changed to remove ''the applicant" and DEPARTMENTAL: 3. permit to allow a facade remode and a storage addition to a restaurant located at 2858 Carlsbad Boulevard in Subarea 5 of the V-R Zone. RP 86-13 - BULLY'S - Request for a minor redevelopment Chris Salomone gave the staff report, using slides to show the site. Tony Comito, 1404 Camino Del Mar, Bully's, stated he was present to answer questions. Chairman Rombotis inquired about curbing and sidewalks on Carlsbad Boulevard and Mr. Comito answered they proposed to take care of the curb and sidewalk along Carlsbad Boulevard, as it was a liability. Member Holmes ilnquired about the fence on the east side of the property and the applicant said that would be upgraded. They have plans for an office building in the future, but that would be a separate proposal. At that time, all requirements would need to be met. Member Schlehuber asked for clarification of one restaurant replacing another restaurant on a site where the parking is inadequate. The Assistant City Attorney said stafdf had not indicated the had not met the parking requirement. It is a change in occupancy rather than a change of use. The Board has to determine whether the former use was abandoned and a new use taken over. It is a judgment the Board could make. However, if the parking worked that way, the Board could approve the project. Member McCoy stated he had a problem with the parking, and it was another illegal parking situation. Design Review Board adopted the following Resolution: RESOLUTION NO. 076, APPROVING A MINOR REDEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO ALLOW THE REMODEL OF AN EXISTING STRUCTURE GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF GRAND AVENUE AND CARSLBAD BOULEVARD.
