Roy Sanchez, 3482 Roosevelt, speaking as a Member of the Housing and Redevelopment Advisory Committee, stated his opposition to this project. He distributed copies of a petition, and stated his petition was signed by the immediate neighbors who do not wish to have this auto body business in their neighborhood. Mr. Sanchez stated this was supposed to be a buffer zone and it would be very difficult to keep the dust and fumes from permeating the neighborhood. I 1 I Archie Hicks, 1831 Valencia Avenue, representing the Village Merchants Association, addressed the Commission stating he attended a meeting this morning where a unanimous vote of the merchants supported the original recommendation to deny this proposed Redevelopment Permit. He stated good things are happening in the Redevelopment Area, and the merchants would like to have retail outlets and other types of businesses in this neighborhood. The merchants felt the trend in that area could be changed at this time to attract other types of businesses. May Christiansen, 2802 Carlsbad Boulevard, addressed the Commission stating she is a Real Estate Agent and felt the general value of real estate in that area is hurt by approval of this type of business. Susan Bayo, 3280 Roosevelt, stated she lived east of the proposed shop and is opposed to this body shop being placed there. She stated her concern for the dust and the fumes that would originate in this body shop. Tony Palmesi, 3363 Tyler Street, stated he had learned about this proposed auto body shop today and believed this would create a hazard to the 75 units devoted to senior citizens on Tyler Street. \ y s X X X X X I - 0 0 MINUTES HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION 3uly 15, 1986 Page 2 COMMISSIONERS Rubin Gastelum, 1975 Magnolia Street, stated he was an owner of a single-family unit adjacent to the proposed project. He felt this project would be detrimental to his property and a health hazard to the neighborhood. The majority of the units in that area are residences. He felt the fumes from the paint could permeate the food establishments nearby and also affect the Pine Street school, creating a hazard to the children. He concluded, stating this shop could adversely affect the value of property in the area. Gilbert Miranda, 3870 Valley Street, the applicant, stated he would have brought people with him had he known there would be people here to speak against his project. He reiterated the people in support of his project who signed the papers he submitted previously were the immediate neighbors. Mr. Miranda stated all conditions had been complied with and the people who are appearing here tonight did not appear at any of the other meetings. He stated his shop would be an asset to that area of town. He stated his project would not lower the value of the surrounding property. Since no one else wished to speak on this subject, the public hearing was closed at 6:49 p.m. Commission discussion determined there were regulations on pollution. It was also stated by Commissioners that other types of facilities would possibly have a problem locating in that particular area. Staff agreed this was a difficult area, and it is zoned commercial. The single- family dwellings are the nonconforming dwellings. The project is conditioned to be reviewed by the Redevelopment Manager to ascertain whether any violations have occurred. The consensus of the Commission was the applicant had complied with all conditions and had been very cooperative. With the supervision of the Redevelopment Manager and the County, this project should not create a problem. Commissioner Lewis suggested a CUP for this project, with a five or ten-year limitation, depending upon the change of use in the area. City Attorney Vincent Biondo stated this was a major Redevelopment Permit. Staff could explore with the applicant the possibility of granting this permit for a certain time, with a provision that at some point, unless extended by the Commission, he would have to remove the building. This would be a large investment and it would be amortized over a long period of time. Commissioner Chick stated the area is changing and this would set a pattern by approving this request. He felt it was not what the City wanted in that area in the long run, inasmuch as it is an intensive use with a noise factor and an odor problem. r 0 0 MINUTES HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION /\iJ % YA% 5 3uly 15, 1986 Page 3 COMMISSIONERS % %% Commissioner Lewis made a motion to send this item back to staff to consider the possibility of a CUP to be reviewed Casler X Pett ine seconded the motion.
