PUBLIC HEARINGS The PUBLIC HEARING on APPEAL of Planning Commission's ruling regarding the ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT for development of a restaurant, 1700 block Sweetwater Road, north side, PD..16•.79 (The Planning Commission at their meeting of January 28, 1980, excluded the proposed "Village Inn Restaurant" from their approval of Planned Development Permit No. 16-79, and continued public hearing for the reason that the building did not appear to be architecturally compatible with existing development within the immediate area. At the continued public hearing, the applicant's presentation included a display of alternative exterior elevations and surface treatments. After discussion, the Commission moved in favor of the rendering with roof line similar to the Town and Country Shopping Center and approved the restaurant development subject to the building being in accordance with the rendering identified as Exhibit "A" by the Planning Commission at their meeting of February 25, 1980) was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication 4/15/80 138 and Affidavit of Mailing were on file. Planning Director Gerschler displayed Exhibit "A" rendering of proposed building and said staff agreed with the Planning Commission. KEN KOLK, real estate broker representing Mr. Kingston, owner of the property, was present and said when the Exhibit "A" drawing was submitted to the Planning Commission, it was with the thought they would make a point; when the Village Inn Corporation (a chain of family..style restaurants) decided to come to Southern California, they developed two building styles which they thought would fit the California life-style and give them identity; to be competitive, they feel they need visible identity. Mr. Kolk displayed a drawing of the building originally presented to the Planning Commission and said the restaurant is designed to reflect the Center across the street; the building was designed to blend and be slightly distinctive; they are not asking for extraordinary signs or lighting; but the corporation feels a constraint to have an identity that works for them. Mr. Kolk asked Council consideration of the original drawing. Discussion. JACK BERON, 17492 Caminito Canasta, San Diego, was present and said the chain has about 160 restaurants; when they decided to come to California they designed two structures (in conjunction with new interior changes and a new menu presentation); they have a very contemporary restaurant concept and for the West Coast they have two building structures, the one shown and one similar to that; one is under construction in Oceanside and one in Simi Valley. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Van Deventer, we accept the Planning Commission recommend- ation on Exhibit "A" and deny the appeal. Carried by unanimous vote. The PUBLIC HEARING on APPEAL of Planning Commission denial of applica- tion for CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to allow minor AUTO REPAIR as an incidential and/or accessory use to tire sales and installation on property located at 2315 Highland Avenue, CUP 1979-11 (involves the use of property for minor auto repair [engine in conjunction with tire sales and installation.] The building is set back from Highland Avenue 54'. This provides a surfaced area for off-street parking that will accommodate about seven automobiles. A 15' wide area exists at the rear of the building that will provide parking for two automobiles if spaces are angled at 20 degress. Approximately 1,128 square feet of work area is available within the building. This would be sufficient for about five automobiles. The site contains 4 532 square feet. Zoning is Commercial, Central Business District LCBD]. This matter was head by the Planning Commission on October 22, 1979. Evidence and testimony presented at that hearing failed to support a finding that the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape and the application was denied for the reason that the site contains less than 15,000 square feet. This action was not appealed to the City Council due to a misunderstanding. On December 6, 1979, a notice of probably violation was directed to the property owner and occupant of these premises for conducting automotive repairs without a conditional use permit. An appeal to this notice was filed with the Planning Department by Mr. Barajas on December 12, 1979. The Commission took action to continue the appeal for 30 days at their meeting of January 14, 1980. Mrs. Gloria Barajas, by letter received January 21, 1980, requested that the matter of conditional use permit be re -heard by the Planning Commission due to their misunderstanding of procedures. At the meeting of January 28, 1980, the Commission took action to schedule a new public hearing at their meeting of February 25, 1980. At the public hearing on February 25, 1980, the Planning Commission took action to deny this application for the reason that evidence and testimony presented to the Commission failed to support a finding that the site is adequate in size and shape and that the use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties. One written protest to the granting of this conditional use permit was received.) was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing were on file. Planning Director Gerschler stated the use at the present time is technically a violation of the zoning code, any action on that violation case has been postponed or delayed while these hearings are being held; staff concurs with Planning Commission's denial; further spread of auto repair activities on Highland Ave. would be inconsistent with the General Plan. GLORIA BARAJAS, 855 Colorado St., Chula Vista, 4/15/80 139 stated that during Sept. of 1979 her husband, the owner of Aztec Center at 2315 Highland Avenue, started his pursuit of a conditional use permit which would allow him to do minor auto repairs along with a license to do tire sales and repair; the past six months they have come to understand the city's desire for the development of Highland Avenue and its expressed wishes to have auto repair garages located more towards National City Blvd.; but at this time they are bound by a two- year contract (terminating Sept. 30, 1981) and they are asking Council's permission to work out the lease and after its expiration, relocate their business; they have complied with the Planning Commission's provisions and intend to comply with any other provisions requested. Mayor Morgan stated Mrs. Barajas has 18 months left on a 2-year agree- ment to pay rent; when her husband came to the Planning Commission meeting (he doesn't speak very good English) he didn't understand what was said; they assumed it was going to be approved; so they moved out of their place on 17th Street to Highland and started operating and now they're in a bind; they are asking to operate there for 18-months and then after their lease expires, they will move on; they feel very strongly that they misunderstood, they would not have closed their business on 17th if they had understood. Councilman Camacho asked City Attorney McLean if it would be all right to accept this with the condition that upon the completion or termination of their lease they will move to the proper zone. City Attorney McLean answered Council makes the policy decisions; he would recommend Council tell staff what they want and he and the Planning Director would get together. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Dalla, to accept the recommendation of the City Attorney and bring back a report on feasibility and the hearing be continued for one week. Discussion. Carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Dalla, Morgan. Nays: Waters. Abstaining: Van Deventer. A letter from SAN DIEGO TRANSIT regarding First Amendment to FY 80 Service Agreement was presented. Mayor Morgan recognized Bob Daily: member of the Transit Board who was present in the audience. The City Manager reported that San Diego Transit is asking for the First Amend- ment to our Agreement this year; the amendment involves an increase of $26,698 in TDA funding and there's a matter of $4800 shortfall. City Manager McCabe stated he has been contacted by MTDB and they have offered to arbitrate the difference in the funding between the transit systems; staff recommends that or to provide full funding to San Diego Transit and full funding to National City Transit, have them split equally. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Van Deventer, to approve the Manager's recommendation. Discussion, KEN FISHER, National City Transit, was present and reported on their status. CLAUDE PAGE, S.D. Transit, was present and stated in addition to the normal inflation increase they have an additional complication, State law requires that they file a claim for all the ten agencies that they serve by July 1 so they have to file a claim based on a preliminary budget and the budget has to be approved by the City Council of the City of San Diego (owners); Discussion.
