glassware, pots and pans, books, knick-knacks, and miscellaneous items;
there are presently 3 Thrift Villages in operation within the San
Diego area; on May 24, 1982, the Planning Commission denied this
application for the reason that the proposed use will have an adverse
effect upon adjacent or abutting properties; staff concurs with the
Planning Commission's denial of this application) was held at this
time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication and
Affidavit of Mailing were on file. Planning Director Gerschler
reported the Planning Commission denied this application and it is
being appealed by the applicant. DARRELL ANDERSON, 1830 Denver, San
Diego, was present and said he feels the Planning Commission's decision
was urj ast; the Planning Commission admitted to Mr. Anderson that his
operation was a clean, neat and orderly thrift store, but if his
6/22/82
108
application was approved, it could set a precedent; Thrift Village is a
good operation and should be judged accordingly, not on the basis of
what someone else might want to do in the future. Mr. Anderson
presented a petition signed by 100 customers who frequent the shopping
center, along with a document signed by tenants and business owner -
operators in the National City Plaza Shopping Center, in support of the
thrift shop. Mr. Anderson also presented photographs of the Thrift
Village store in Lemon Grove. JACK GREENWALD (representing the owners
of the shopping center), 1555 6th Ave., San Diego was present and said
Thrift Village has been in operation for approximately 12 years in
Los Angeles and San Diego; when Thrift Village applied for space in the
shopping center, the owners did a lot of research and decided Thrift
Village would serve a need in the City; the Planning Commission should
Consider each application on its merits or faults, not on the basis of
possible future applications. No one else was present to speak in this
regard. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Dalia, the Public Hearin
be closed and the appeal be denied. Discussion. Carried by unanimous

The Public Hearing on APPEAL of the Planning Commission's DENIAL of
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT No. PD-1-82 in the 1300 Block of Grove St.,
West side (... involves the proposed development of the 1.71 acres
located between I-805 and Grove St., South side of Plaza Blvd., and
14th St.; of the above acreage, .44 acres is unused City property and
Paradise Creek Drainage Channel, and a 1.27 acre parcel owned in fee by
the applicant; applicant proposes to subdivide the 1.27 acre parcel
owned in fee into 2 separate parcels; parcel 1 will contain 30,530 sq.
ft. with about 264 ft. of frontage on Grove St.; parcel 2 will contain
25,160 sq. ft. with approximately 100 ft. of frontage on 14th St.;
consideration of approval of the tentative parcel map is required as a
separate issue; a McDonald's restaurant containing approximately 2,400
sq. ft., with seating for 70, is proposed for development on Parcel 1,
with construction to commence as soon as City permits are obtained; a
10,000 sq. ft. commercial building is proposed for Parcel 2, with
construction proposed to commence within 1 year of the completion of
the McDonald's facility; reciprocal use access easements will be
required and are proposed to provide adequate vehicular access to all
areas of parkins•; the northerly 80 ft. of property [existing unused
p.ab1 c property and drainage channel - Plaza Blvd. frontage] will be
surfaced for parking and landscaped in accordance with an approved
City encroachment permit; use of this property is pursuant to a letter
of agreement from the City dated January 4, 1977; conversion of the
existing concrete lined channel to a "Box Culvert" requires a
Conditional Use Permit [a separate agenda item]; land use within the
immediate area consists of I-805 to the West, vacant lands across
Plaza Blvd. to the North and across Grove St. to the East; single
family residential across 14th St. to the South and Southeast; zoning
is Commercial, Central Business District - Planned Development; staff
concurs with the Planning Commission's denial of this application until
improvements can be made in the neighborhood traffic circulation system)
was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of
Publication and Affidavit of Mailing were on file. Planning Director
Gerschler reported the Planning Commission denied this request on the
grounds of incompatibility with neighboring property, and some as yet
unresolved traffic problems along Grove and 14th. DAN BIGGS (Engineer
for applicant), 121 E. 31st St., was present and said this property is
6/22/82
109
compatible with City Ordinances, General Plan and zones; the local
residents do not want this development; they have met with the citizens,
and listened to their suggestions; every suggestion was investigated
and implemented where possible, and they have agreed with all of
staff's requirements; they will dedicate an additional lane to Plaza
Blvd. and develop it; they are covering the channel; they have agreed
to a 20' wide landscaped buffer and a 5' masonry wall along the back
edge of the property [the portion that abuts 14th St.]. GARY FARIS,
1417 Grove St., was present and said traffic, noise and police related
problems in the area should be addressed before any new projects are
considered; the intersection of Plaza and Grove is all but impossible;
there is no marked crosswalk; the Western corner of 14th and Grove has
a reversed bank, is a 90° turn, and is partially blind; drivers cut
the corner short and jump the curb, take all lanes to complete the
turn or miss the turn completely; there is a great deal of noise from
the freeway and Plaza Blvd. Mr. Faris continued, this area has
problems with burglary and vandalism, and a business with late night
operations will invite all sorts of people into the neighborhood;
changes in the street traffic patterns, such as dead -ending or one-way
patterns, have been discussed, but were dismissed because they would
not solve the problem. Discussion. M. A. CLOUGH, JR., 1431 Grove Ave,,
was present and said a few years ago they had a quiet neighborhood, but
because of the freeway, it has become very noisy; the noise doesn't
start to die down until 7:30 p.m.; they would like a business in there
that maintains reasonable hours. JIM HAGAR, 1409 Grove St., was
present and said if this development goes through, his front door will
face McDonald's wall; he picks up trash from the area every day, and
with McDonald's there, the litter problems will be increased. CLIFF
NESS, McDonald's was present and said cooperation between McDonald's
and its host communities has always been a source of pride with them;
McDonald's has volunteered to tilt the lights so as not to infringe on
the privacy of the homeowners; the landscaping and the wall would help
to soften the lights, and abate the noise; they are also willing to
install "silent order boards"; speed bumps can be installed to prevent
tire squealing; product deliveries would be made between the hours of
10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.; cooking equipment is installed with filters
that extract 70% of the grease and impurities prior to exhaust, and
are cleaned 2-3 times a day; exhaust units are designed so that when
the hot air and fumes get to the roof, they are blown to the side and
only the hot air goes up; if necessary, they will hire a security guard
to prevent vandalism; outside maintenance personnel pick up trash and
litter from sidewalks, landscaping and gutters for at least one block
in every direction; a new McDonald's would provide jobs for 60-100
young people in the community; cafes taxes generated for the State
would probably exceed $100,000 annually; Federal income taxes paid on
the profits would range between $30-40,000 annually. Discussion.
CHARLES STRONG, Traffic Engineer, Federhard & Assoc., was present and
said he did the traffic study relating to this project and prepared a
report. Mr. Strong displayed an aerial photograph, showing 1-805, the
proposed development site, and the proposed extension of Euclid Ave.
Mr. Strong said the report indicates that the volume of traffic at the
peak p.m. hour is about 3,000 trips per day at this location; with the
construction of Euclid Ave., this location would have an easier exit,
rather than using the residential streets; in determining the estimated
distribution pattern of traffic, the proximity to the freeway and to
Plaza Blvd., it was estimated that only 5% of the traffic to this
location would come from the South; peak traffic at McDonald's would be
during the noon hour and fall off after 7:00 p.m.; a traffic signal at
Grove would be restrictive to Plaza Blvd. and is not needed; he feels
this is a highly compatible land use; traffic patterns will primarily
be oriented toward Plaza Blvd, and the freeway. City Engineer Grahl
said that Euclid Ave. construction, from Plaza to 16th, is in the
budget for FY 83-84. SANDY VERHANE, Real Estate Representative for
McDonald's, was present and said they have worked with Mr. Biggs and
the City staff to try and attack some of the potential problem areas
6/22/82
110
and resolve them before they got to the Planning Commission; they
invited neighboring property owners to come in and air their complaints,
and tried to find solutions; traffic seems to be the biggest problem;
this is an existing problem and will not be created by McDonald's; the
lighting around McDonald's and the new jobs created might decrease
crime in the area. DAVE SNYDER (part owner of subject property), 1450
University Ave., San Diego, was present, and introduced the other
owners of the property. Mr. Snyder said the zoning conforms with the
General Plan, adopted in 1974, and if the neighbors didn't agree with
the zoning, they should have made their feelings known before the
General Plan was adopted; the owners have accepted the recommendation
of the City and will dedicate a 12-ft. setback, and absorb the cost of
widening the street, and installing curbs, gutters and sidewalks;
when Mr. Biggs invited all of the neighbors to a meeting, only six
appeared; at this meeting, Mr. Faris was asked what business he would
approve at this location; Mr. Faris replied that he didn't know at that
time, but not any business that didn't close by 6:00 p.m.; the owners
are complying with zoning laws, have taken the necessary steps to
cooperate with the neighbors, and are requesting this project be
approved. JIM , 355 K St. was present and said he was
representing Mr. Ed Maloney, owner of the property across the street;
they feel this is an appropriate development and should be approved.
BOB SMILEY, 3065 2nd Ave., San Diego, was present and said he and his
wife had invested in this property in 1976; they checked the zoning and
found that it was zoned to accomodate a small shopping center, or a
restaurant; rising costs and taxes forced them to take some of their
friends as partners and to abandon the idea of developing it themselves;
they have followed the rules and agreed to every special request, and
there is no valid reason why this project should not be approved. BUCK
BUCHANAN, 980 Albian St., was present and said he is a limited partner
in this property; the initial intent of the partnership was to develop
the property, but economic developments made it impossible; to deny
this request is inconsistent and unfair; during the initial stages of
the subdivision process, a meeting was held with the Planning Commission
and development plans were discussed; the outcome of the meeting was
that there were no major obstacles, but a traffic study was required;
the traffic study recommended that access from Plaza Blvd. not be
allowed; alternate plans were made to allow access from Grove St., and
the owners believed that only the details remained to be worked out on
this project; since that time, there have been a series of meetings in
which new concerns were discussed by the Planning Commission, and the
owners have made several concessions; the Planning Commission voted to
reject the project; there are several similar developments along Plaza,
and the project should not be rejected because of the emotional concerr.r
of a few people. MARVIN IVERSON, 5865 Loma St., San Diego, was present
and said he was one of the original limited partners, and asked Council
to approve this project. DONALD BRESCH, 1416 Stancrest Lane, was
present and said McDonald's wants to invest a lot of money on something
that will only increase the problems in the area and decrease property
values. JERRY SIMMONS, 625 View Dr., Burbank was present and said he
is one of the investors in this property; McDonald's is a family
restaurant, and always has an adult manager on the premises; a
McDonald's restaurant would be a good use for this property. WALT
KRAMPTON, 4103 Morningstar Ct., La Mesa, was present and said he is one
of the limited partners in this piece of property; he lives 2 block
from the Rancho San Diego Shopping Center, which has a McDonald's
restaurant in it; McDonald's is clean, well landscaped and has
improved the area. Discussion, Councilman Van Deventer asked if a
study had been done on the Wendy's on Plaza Blvd. which backs up on
residential property. Mr. Biggs replied that there had not been.
Councilman Van Deventer inquired if a study had been done regarding
making access exclusively off of Plaza Blvd., with a cul-de-sac on
Grove, Mr. Biggs replied that it had been suggested, but he didn't
think the residents wanted that. Further discussion. City Engineer
Grahl said it would be feasible to cul-de-sac Grove off of Plaza, but
6/22/82
111
would be more acceptable at the time Euclid goes through from Plaza to
16th. Mr. Biggs said he is willing to take the problems of the traffic
patterns to the Traffic Safety Committee. Further discussion. Moved
by Waters, seconded by Van Deventer, this hearing be continued to
July 6, 1982 July 13, 1982 to give Council the opportunity to study
the problems of traffic, hours of operation and landscaping plans.
(See Page 113, Para. 5 ) City Attorney McLean said Council can impose
reasonable operating restrictions; a 10:00 p.m. closing restriction
would probably be acceptable to McDonald's. Mr. Ness said a 10:00 p.m.
closing time would be negotiable. Further discussion. Mr. Clough
returned to the podium and said they are not opposed to development,
but they do not want McDonald's there; this area would be a good place
for a "Park and Ride". Further discussion. Motion carried by unanimous
vote. Absent: Morgan.
Vice Mayor Camacho called a recess at 8:52 p.m.
Council reconvened at 8:55 p.m.

Councilman Waters reported on a request for a Block Party on July 5
from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Olive St., between 8th and Plaza, the
street to be blocked off with sawhorses. Capt. Fowler, NCPD, was
present and recommended this not be approved for that date because of
the limited number of units and men Available on the July 4th weekend;
he does not favor approving block parties in general because they
attract groups of uninvited guests, creating police problems. There
was consensus that Councilman Waters ask the people on Olive St. to
