THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS A DULY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING TO BE, UH, TO CONSIDER REQUESTS FOR A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, 22 DASH ONE TO ADJUST A LOT LINE BETWEEN 22 0 0 WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY PARCEL ONE AND 1240 SOUTH BRASS LANTERN DRIVE.
PARCEL TWO, DO HAVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE FOR THIS ITEM.
NOW, MR. CHAIR, WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY RIGHT.
DO WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT? YES.
UH, GOOD EVENING CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.
THE ASSISTANT PLANNER AT THE CITY OF THE HOMBRE.
UM, THE APPLICANT GREENHILLS BAPTIST CHURCH IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT BETWEEN 2200 WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND 1240 SOUTH BRASS LANTERN DRIVE.
ONE IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND SOUTH BRASS LANTERN DRIVE PARCEL TWO TO THE SOUTH OF PARCEL.
ONE, UM, IS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF PARCEL.
ONE, BOTH PROPERTIES ARE BORDERED BY AN ORANGE COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT CHANNEL TO THE EAST.
UM, THEIR EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF BOTH PARCELS.
THE IMAGE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN IS THE CURRENTLY SHARED LOT LINE BETWEEN PARCEL ONE AND PARCEL TO THE PROPOSED LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT WOULD EXPAND THE SIZE OF PARCEL ONE AND REDUCE THE SIZE OF PARCEL TO A PORTION OF THIS SOUTHERLY PROPERTY LINE OF PARCEL.
ONE SHOWN IN YELLOW WOULD MOVE FURTHER.
THIS CHANGE WOULD REDUCE THE REAR YARD OF PARCEL TWO BY A TOTAL OF 12,924 SQUARE FEET.
THE LOT LINE WOULD ALLOW FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE PARKING LOT ON PARCEL ONE IN THE FUTURE, UH, SHOWN ON THE SCREEN OR THE EXHIBITS, WHICH WERE PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
THE SOUTHERN LOT LINE OF 1240 BRASS LANTERN IS APPROXIMATELY 244 FEET LONG.
THE PROPOSED LOT LINE OF TO THE SOUTH OF 1240 BRASS LANTERN, UM, WOULD BE 147 FEET LONG.
UM, THERE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 97 FEET OF SHARED PROPERTY LINE BETWEEN 1250 BRASS LANTERN AND 2200 WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY, THE SEWER AND UTILITY EASEMENTS, WHICH TRAVERSE BOTH LOTS PARALLEL TO THE FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL WILL REMAIN IN PLACE.
UH, IT'S THE CURRENT FRONTAGE OF 1240 BRASS LANTERN.
UH, THE LOT IS CURRENTLY 55.3, EIGHT FEET WIDE.
UH, NO CHANGES ARE PROPOSED TO THE WIDTH OF THE PARCEL.
CURRENT ZONING STANDARDS REQUIRE A 60 FOOT WIDTH.
UM, HOWEVER, THIS IS ILLEGALLY, UH, APPROVED WITHIN.
THERE ARE NO CHANGES, UH, SO THAT WILL REMAIN PART OF THE REQUIRED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, UM, ARE THAT THE LOTS CONTINUE TO MEET THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNDERLINING ZONE AFTER THE CHANGE? UH, THE LOT OF CONCERNS, 1240 BRASS LANTERN, WHICH IS PARCEL TO, UH, THE LOT WHICH IS BEING REDUCED.
UH, THE TABLE SHOWS THE EXISTING REQUIREMENTS.
UM, THE FRONT YARD REQUIREMENT IS 20 FEET.
THERE ARE NO PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE FRONT.
UH, THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT IS 25 FEET.
UH, THE NARROWEST DIMENSION OF THE REAR YARD WILL BE 43 FEET AFTER THE CHANGE.
UH, THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE IN THE
UH, THE PROPOSED ADJUSTMENT WOULD BRING 1240 BRASS LANTERN TO ABOUT 9,500 SQUARE FEET.
UH, THERE'S A REQUIRED THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF USABLE YARD AREA.
AND AFTER THE CHANGE, THERE WOULD BE 4,294 SQUARE FEET.
AND THE LOT WITH WOULD REMAIN AS REQUIRED BY CHAPTER 17 AND WILL HARBOR MUNICIPAL CODE, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL IS REQUIRED FOR LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS
[00:10:01]
SINCE THE SEVEN REQUIRED FINDINGS CAN BE MADE.IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, 2201 SUBJECT TO THE FINDINGS AND RESOLUTIONS FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS IN THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION.
THE PROPOSED LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, UM, WOULD STILL NEED TO BE REVIEWED BY ENGINEERING, UH, BEFORE BEING FINALIZED.
AT THIS TIME, I WILL ASK THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS, IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, UH, FOR STAFF COMMISSIONER BURN NEAR COMMISSIONER MANLEY.
UM, YEAH, MY QUESTION WOULD BE JUST TAKING A LOOK AT THE, UH, THE LOTS ADJACENT LOTS TO THE SUBJECT PARCELS.
UM, I GUESS IN THEORY, THEY WOULD BE CREATING A NEW NEIGHBOR AT 1250, UM, BRASS LANTERN, AND THERE WOULD BE LIKE THE SECTION OF THAT PARCEL THAT WOULD BE CONNECTED TO, UM, EXACTLY THERE ON THE BOTTOM, RIGHT? THAT LITTLE PORTION OF THAT BACKYARD AT 12, 12 50 WOULD NOW BE SHARING, UM, THAT LOT LINE WITH THE PARCEL ONE FOR THE APPLICANT.
THE QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT IF THE APPLICANT WERE TO WANT TO EXPAND PARKING THERE, OR THEY WOULD WANT TO BUILD A PLAYGROUND THERE, OR THEY WOULD WANT TO BUILD SOME TYPE OF A STORAGE OR ADD A STORAGE STRUCTURE, UM, WHAT THINGS WOULD THEY HAVE TO DO OR WHAT WOULD BE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICANT TO COME BACK TO THE CITY, UM, FOR PERMITS, FOR MODIFICATIONS TO THEIR CUP? UM, WHEN WE, IF, IF THE COMMISSION WERE TO APPROVE LIKE THE LA LION CHANGE, CAN THE APPLICANT DO WHATEVER THEY WANT THERE? OR ARE THERE SOME LIMITATIONS? SO ANY EXPANSION OR INTENSIFICATION OF USE WOULD REQUIRE A MODIFICATION TO THE ORIGINAL CUP, UH, FOR, TO ESTABLISH THE CHURCH USE ON THAT SITE? UH, THE ORIGINAL CUP DATES BACK TO 1965.
UH, SO IT'S ONLY APPROVED AS, IS ANY MODIFICATION BEYOND AN EXEMPT STRUCTURE, LIKE A SHED UNDER 120 SQUARE FEET, UM, WOULD REQUIRE A CONDITIONAL USE A MODIFICATION TO THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UM, WHICH WOULD GO TO PUBLIC HEARING.
SO IN THE EXPANSION OF THE PARKING LOT, THERE WOULD STILL REQUIRE A MODIFICATION TO THE CUP.
UM, AND I THINK I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THEY PUT IN A SMALL STORAGE SHED, LET'S SAY UNDER 120 SQUARE FEET, THAT'S THE MAGIC NUMBER.
THEY COULD DO THAT ON THEIR OWN, ANYTHING BEYOND THAT WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO COME BACK.
SO A STRUCTURE OVER 120 SQUARE FEET, IF THEY WANTED TO BUILD A BUILDING ON THAT REQUIRE A BUILDING PERMIT.
UM, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET A MODIFICATION TO THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
AND AT THAT TIME, IF IT WAS PARKING, IF IT WAS, YOU KNOW, ANY TYPE OF STRUCTURE, UM, THEN IN THAT PROCESS, THE CITY WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE LOOKING AT, UM, THAT PARTICULAR APPLICATION, YOU KNOW, UM, AND ALL THE FINDINGS OF THAT, WHETHER THERE WERE, YOU KNOW, SOUND CONCERNS AND ALL SORTS OF, OF THOSE THINGS.
IS THAT CORRECT? MICHAEL? YEAH, IT WOULD BE REVIEWED, UM, THROUGH THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT MODIFICATION PROCESS.
THANK YOU, MICHAEL COMMISSIONER ZURICH, ANY QUESTIONS? UH, NO, NOT AT THIS TIME.
UH, JUST QUICKLY, THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, NOTHING ON GRADING IS INCLUDED.
WE'RE LITERALLY JUST CHANGING THE LOT LINE THERE.
THEY'RE NOT DOING ANY TYPE OF EARTH WORK INVOLVED WITH THE LOT LINE.
SO WE WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE WILL HEAR FROM THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM NOW AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CLEARLY STATE AND SPELL OUT YOUR NAME AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS GIVE YOUR CARD TO VERONICA.
THAT'S J A R E D HIGGINS, H I G G I N S.
I'M THE LEAD PASTOR AT THE CHURCH OF GREEN HILLS OR GREEN HILLS BAPTIST CHURCH, UH, SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF THIS LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT.
UM, SO AS WE STATED, WE'VE BEEN A CHURCH IN THE, FOR NEARLY 60 YEARS NOW, UM, IS, UH, ROUGHLY 10 YEARS AGO THAT WE, UH, ACQUIRED THAT PROPERTY PARCEL TO AT 1240 BRASS LANTERN,
[00:15:01]
UH, PURCHASE THAT, LIKE I SAID, ROUGHLY 10 YEARS AGO, THE ORIGINAL INTENT UNDER DIFFERENT LEADERSHIP OF OUR CHURCH, UM, WAS TO USE THAT FOR MORE EXPANSION OF THE CHURCH FACILITIES AND MEETING ROOMS AND OFFICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.UM, GIVEN CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP, GIVEN EVEN THE, UH, CHANGES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF, OF OUR WORLD.
UM, THAT'S NO LONGER, UM, IN THE PLANS OR THE DIRECTION OF OUR CHURCH.
UM, BUT WHAT WE HAVE DESIRED IS MORE OUTDOOR SPACE, UH, POTENTIALLY MORE PARKING SPACE, LIKE WAS NOTED.
UM, AND SO, BECAUSE WE OWN BOTH OF THOSE PROPERTIES CURRENTLY, WE WANTED TO BEST UTILIZE THAT SPACE FOR THE CHURCH WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING A RESIDENTIAL PRESENCE THERE, UM, THE HOUSE ON 1240 BRASS LANTERN.
UM, SO WE VERY MUCH VALUE THE COMMUNITY AND ARE NOT TRYING TO IMPOSE ON, ON, UH, FURTHER NEIGHBORS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
UM, YEAH, TH THIS WOULD, THIS LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT WOULD BENEFIT US SO THAT WE COULD UTILIZE THAT SPACE, UM, OFFICIALLY AS PART OF THE 2200 PROPERTY.
UM, AND EVEN SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS ARE WHETHER OR NOT WE CONTINUE TO, TO RENT OUT KIND OF AS A PARSONAGE, THE BRASS LANTERN PROPERTY, OR EVEN POTENTIALLY DOWN THE LINE.
IF WE DID WANT TO SELL IT, UM, TO MAINTAIN IT AS A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, WE WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE SPACE.
IT'S SUCH A BIG LOT IN A, IN A LARGE, UH, BACKDOOR AREA, LIKE WAS SHOWN IT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.
UM, AND SO WE THOUGHT IT COULD BEST BE USED, UM, FOR US TO, TO USE IT THAT WAY.
AND EVEN AS WAS NOTED IN THE QUESTION, UH, WE WOULD BE ADDING A NEIGHBOR AT 1250 BRASS LANTERN.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT THE BACK SECTION ON, ON THAT IMAGE IS, UM, IS A HILLSIDE LEADING DOWN TO THE STORM DRAIN.
THAT'S PRIMARILY UNUSABLE, THERE'S A SMALL CORNER, SMALL SLIVER THAT, THAT WE WOULD SHARE, UM, THEY WERE, BUT, BUT IT'S OUR BEST, UH, ESTIMATION.
IT DOESN'T REALLY IMPOSE ON ANYTHING.
UM, AND CERTAINLY, UM, ANY NOISE REGULATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE TRY TO DO OUR BEST TO, TO RESPECT THE NEIGHBORS AND FEEL LIKE WE'VE HAD HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, UM, OVERALL THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
UM, IF WE DID EVENTUALLY SELL THE 1240 PROPERTY, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT ACTUALLY BENEFIT THE CITY IS GETTING THE TAX DOLLARS FOR THAT SINCE WE ARE TAX EXEMPTS, CURRENTLY IN THAT PROPERTY IS TAX EXEMPT.
UM, THE CITY ISN'T BENEFITING FROM ANY OF THE TAXES, UM, ON THE 1240 BRASS LANTERN PROPERTY, IF DOWN THE FUTURE, DOWN THE ROAD, WE WERE TO SELL THAT AND MAINTAIN IT AS A RESIDENTIAL, THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE TAX DOLLARS THAT WOULD COME BACK TO THE CITY.
UM, SO YEAH, WE WOULD, WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION TO DO THAT, THAT WE COULD USE THE OUTDOOR SPACE, POTENTIALLY PARKING, UM, AND, AND CONTINUE JUST A GOOD RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE AS A CHURCH WITH WHAT THE CITY.
ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT? ALL RIGHT.
WE WILL NOW HEAR FROM THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM NOW AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU GUYS, UH, CLEARLY STATE YOUR NAME, SPELL IT OUT, AND PLEASE GIVE THE CARD TO VERONICA FOR THE RECORD.
UM, HELLO, MY NAME'S MARGIE, M E R G I E SULLIVAN, S U L L I V A N.
AND I LIVE ON 1280 BRASS LANTERN, AND I WAS JUST PUTTING MYSELF IN PLACE OF THE 12TH, UM, UM, 50 12 50 ADDRESS.
THE ONE THING THAT I, I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT IS THAT EVEN THOUGH WE'RE GLAD THAT THE CHURCH IS DOING FINE AND GETTING MORE MEMBERS, BUT HAVING A PARKING LOT NEXT TO YOUR HOME AND ALL THE GUESTS AND, AND FUMES, I DON'T THINK THAT'S VERY GOOD FOR PLANTS AND ALSO FOR HUMANS, RIGHT? SO THAT'S, UM, UM, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAT I WOULD BE CONCERNED WITH.
AND THEN I WAS LOOKING AT THE DIAGRAM.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE PLAY, UH, THE PORTION THAT THEY WERE THINKING OF, MAYBE PUTTING IN A PARKING LOT OR A BUILDING, THEY COULD USE THE UPPER GRASSY AREA IF THEY DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE GRASS AREA AND BUILD IT BACK THERE IN THAT CORNER WHERE THEY, SO IT'S NOT OPPOSING WITH THE NEIGHBOR, WITH THE NEIGHBOR AT 1250.
SO I, I W WHEN I WAS FILLING OUT THE HORMONE, IT'S NOT REALLY DONE, I'M A POST, BUT I THINK WHEN YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER YOUR
[00:20:01]
NEIGHBOR AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN, IN THE, IN THE COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME, WHEN YOU BUY YOUR HOME, YOU'RE NOT THINKING I WANT TO BE NEXT TO A PARKING LOT.SO IF ANYONE IN THIS ROOM WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER THEIR HOME FOR A PARKING LOT, YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S, I THINK, NEXT TO A PARKING LOT.
I THINK IF YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES, YOU COULD THINK, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? AND I'M GLAD THAT THIS CHURCH IS GETTING MORE MEMBERSHIP.
MAYBE THEY COULD HAVE MORE SERVICES.
SO NOT EVERYONE COMES AT THE ENGLISH TIME AT ONE TIME, YOU KNOW, SO MAYBE THEY COULD HAVE LIKE TWO ENGLISH SESSIONS.
SO THEN YOU WON'T NEED SO MUCH A PARKING LOT ARE.
AND THEN, UM, BUT I WAS THINKING IF THEY COULD ASSURE THAT THEY WOULD ONLY HAVE BUILDINGS ON THERE AND NOT A LOT, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A MORE CONSIDERATE NEIGHBOR.
SO, UM, I ALWAYS TRY TO THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX BEING, I JUST RETIRED FROM BEING A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER FOR MANY, A TEACHER FOR MANY YEARS.
AND, UM, THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY TO PROBLEM SOLVE, AND THERE'S NOT, THERE'S ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE SOLUTION.
SO I LIKED THE CHURCH AND ALSO THIS COMMITTEE TO THINK ABOUT IT, PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES.
IF YOU LIVED ON THAT PARCEL, WOULD YOU WANT, YOU KNOW, A PARKING LOT NEXT TO YOU? SO THANK YOU.
MY NAME IS CARL FUNKY, C A R L F AS IN FRANK, U N K E.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SCOPE OF THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST IS SIMPLY A LOT LINE CHANGE.
I THINK WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS PHASE NEXT PHASE TWO OR SO OUR COMMENTS MAY NOT REFLECT THIS SPECIFIC REQUEST, BUT I ALSO SHARE CONCERNS CAUSE I'M AT 1250 PRESS LANTERN.
UM, WHAT FUTURE REQUESTS WOULD BE NOT KNOWING, YOU KNOW, WE MOVED INTO THE COMMUNITY IN 1996, UH, WANTING TO BE SURROUNDED BY FAMILIES HOMES.
AND SO, UH, WE KNOW, AND, AND I DON'T, I'M NOT AGAINST THE CHURCH.
UH, LIKE YOU SAID, I'M, I'M GLAD THEY'RE GROWING.
HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT AS FAR AS CHANGES TO IMPACT MY BACKYARD AND MY, THE THINGS WE'VE COME ACCUSTOMED TO OVER THE PAST, BUT 20 PLUS 25 PLUS YEARS.
SO, UM, ALL I CAN DO IS EXPRESS CONCERNS, BUT ANYTHING SPECIFIC, I MIGHT WANT TO HOLD THAT LITTLE PHASE NEXT BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY WHERE ISSUES ARE.
SO I WANT TO TAKE A FEW TIME, BUT WE DO HAVE CONCERNS AND, UH, UNKNOWNS.
AND SO, UH, I HAVE NOT OPPOSED TO NECESSARILY THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS, SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.
ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF THE PROJECT? OKAY.
AND THEN, YEAH, JUST TO CLARIFY, YOU KNOW, BEFORE US IS A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, SO WE'RE JUST SIMPLY LOOKING AT THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, UM, AS STATED BY STAFF, UM, SHOULD IN THE FUTURE, UM, THE CHURCH DECIDE TO MAKE CHANGES AND EXPAND OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THEY WILL HAVE TO AMEND THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
AND AT THAT POINT COMMISSION WOULD BE, I MEAN, UH, THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE ADVISED AND THERE WOULD BE A FORMAL PUBLIC HEARING FOR THAT.
YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE DONE IT.
BUT IF NOT, YOU CAN FOLLOW UP WITH STAFF AND THEN, UM, TO GET THE QUESTION ANSWERED.
SO, UM, AT THIS TIME, UM, YEAH, AND LET'S, UM, WAS THERE ANY REBUTTALS THAT YOU WANT TO, THE APPLICANT WOULD WANT TO MAKE IN REGARDS TO, UM, THE COMMENTS MADE YEAH, THE, THIS IS JARED HIGGINS.
AGAIN, THE ONLY, UH, REBUTTAL IS KIND OF, NOT SPECIFICALLY TO, TO THIS REQUEST, JUST THE LOT LINE, UM, I KNOW PARKING WAS BROUGHT UP, THAT'S CERTAINLY AN OPTION.
THE GREATER DESIRE THAT WE HAVE WOULD BE SOME SORT OF STORAGE UNIT.
THERE'S A LACK OF STORAGE AT THE CHURCH.
SO IT MAY ADD A HANDFUL OF PARKING SPOTS, BUT, BUT OUR DESIRE IS MORE, UM, SOME SORT OF GARAGE THAT I UNDERSTAND WE'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER CON UH, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UM, A GARAGE THAT COULD BE THERE AND MORE OF AN OUTDOOR PATIO SPACE.
UM, SO WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO PACK MORE CARS IN THERE.
UM, WE'RE LOOKING FOR MORE OUTDOOR SPACE
[00:25:01]
AND FUNCTIONALITY THAT THE INDOOR SPACE WE CURRENTLY HAVE COULD BE BETTER, BETTER UTILIZED, UH, FOR SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS RATHER THAN STORING THINGS IN ROOMS, IF WE HAD A SEPARATE STORAGE GARAGE TO, TO DO THAT.SO, BUT THAT'S, I KNOW A FUTURE AT THAT POINT.
WE'LL LOOK AT IT ONCE THAT PROJECT GOES BEFORE US.
SO OTHER THAN THAT, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE.
WE WILL NOW CLOSE A PUBLIC HEARING AND WE WILL CALL HIM THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS FOR DISCUSSION AND, OR A MOTION.
I'LL START WITH COMMISSIONER BERNIER.
UM, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION IF YOU GUYS ARE OKAY.
BUT, UM, THIS IS, UH, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THE, YOUR, YOUR, UH, I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, YOUR CONCERNS, BUT IT'S JUST A LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, LIKE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.
SO ANYTHING THAT COMES THAT, THAT YOU SAID IT NOW, IT WILL BE RECORDED AND WE DEFINITELY HEAR YOU DEFINITELY.
SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION IF YOU, IS THERE ANY OTHER, UM, DISCUSSIONS ON ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS WOULD LIKE TO MAKE BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO MOTION? UM, I'M JUST REALLY APPRECIATIVE TO BE HONEST.
UM, MS. SULLIVAN AND MR. FUNKY AND, UH, AND THE APPLICANT, UM, WE DON'T ALWAYS GET TO HEAR LIKE COMMON SENSE IN HERE AND COOL HEADS PREVAILING.
AND, UM, JUST TO HEAR, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU GUYS ARE ALL COMING FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND, AND TO HAVE IT, I THINK MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.
UM, SO I THINK EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
AND, UM, YEAH, I THINK WHAT'S BEEN STATED TONIGHT'S NOT THE NIGHT TO ARGUE ABOUT WHAT, WHAT GOES THERE, WHAT DOESN'T GO THERE, IF THE COMMISSION WERE TO APPROVE THAT AND THAT THEY WILL COME.
UM, I THINK THE DIALOGUE HAS BEGUN AND IT PROBABLY BEGAN BEFORE TONIGHT.
AND I'M SURE THAT THE, UM, THE CHURCH'S PROBABLY AWARE OF THAT.
UM, I DON'T GO TO GREENHILLS, BUT I HAVE BEEN TO THE LIVING NATIVITY THERE FOR, UH, MY MOM WOULD KILL ME IF I DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG, BUT PROBABLY OVER 30 YEARS.
UM, AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE ARE, THEY ARE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AS I THINK, BOTH, UM, SPEAKERS IN OPPOSITION OF, OF THE PROJECT SORT OF, KIND OF, UM, YOU KNOW, INDICATED.
AND SO I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'LL BE RE MAYBE RECEPTIVE OF THAT AS THEY FIGURE OUT WHAT MIGHT GO THERE.
AND THAT'S PHASE TWO IS AS WE KIND OF DISCUSSED.
SO, UM, LIKE COMMISSIONER BERNAY SAID, I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT.
WE CAN REVISIT EVERYTHING ELSE WHEN THAT TIME COMES.
UM, BUT JUST APPRECIATIVE OF YOU GUYS BEING VERY COMMONSENSICAL AND, UM, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.
AND I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT GREEN HILLS IS, UM, BEEN A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND A GOOD MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO AS THEY FIGURE OUT WHAT, WHAT MIGHT BE BEST THERE IF, UH, IF THIS WERE TO GET APPROVED TONIGHT.
SO WITH THAT SAID, UH, COMMISSIONER BRENER, CAN YOU MAKE THE MOTION PLEASE? THE RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA IMPROVED LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT, 2201 FOR THE PROPERTIES OF 22, 0 0 WEST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY AND 1240 SOUTH BRASS LATINS.
I AM MAKING THE APPROPRIATE FINDINGS AND PER APPROVED PLANS, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL MAKE A SECOND COMMISSIONER SEARCH.
ALL RIGHT, PLEASE ENTER YOUR VOTES.
MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO, AND IT WILL BECOME FINAL IN 10 WORKING DAYS UNLESS IT'S APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL.
ALRIGHT, SO MOVING ON TO THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ITEM IS A DULY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL EVENT.
PERMIT 22 DASH ZERO THREE TO CONDUCT A LARGE SPECIAL EVENT.
THAT INCLUDES A PUMPKIN PATCH AND ANCILLARY ACTIVITIES AT 7 77 SOUTH BEACH BOULEVARD.
DO WE HAVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE FOR THIS ITEM? NO, WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING.

UH, THANK YOU, MICHAEL, UH, PLANNING, COMMISSIONERS.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER BURNETT, COMMISSIONER MANLEY.
UM, I KNOW THERE'S SOME SECURITY TRAILERS ARE GONNA BE ON THERE AND THEY'RE 24 HOURS.
DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S SOMEBODY GOING TO BE LIVING THERE OR IS THERE SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO BE STATIONED THERE AND THEN ROTATING? SO NOT NECESSARILY LIVING ON THE PROPERTY BECAUSE THAT I'LL DEFER TO THE APPLICANT.
CAN YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME PLEASE? MY NAME IS JAY ISLER, J A Y E Y L E R.
I'M THE OWNER OF SAN HOSE GARDEN.
THAT'S BEEN OPERATING THE EVENT THERE SINCE 2002, AS FAR AS THE, UM, IT COULD BE EITHER WAY.
I MEAN, I'VE HAD IT BOTH WAYS IN THE PAST.
I'VE HAD SOMEBODY THAT JUST STAYED THERE.
IT'S MOSTLY TO WATCH OVER EVERYTHING AND I COULD DO IT EITHER WAY THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD PREFER.
I COULD HAVE SOMEBODY THAT, UM, IS NOT STAYING THERE.
THAT'S JUST COMES WHEN WE CLOSE AND WATCHES OVER.
IT'S JUST KIND OF MORE OF LIKE A BREAK ROOM SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE COFFEE OR WHATEVER.
UM, SO WE'VE USED IT AND THEN THE TRAILERS THERE, WE USE IT TO TAKE FOR LIKE THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE MANAGERS TO TAKE BREAKS.
AND THEN IN THE EVENING THE SECURITY PERSON USES IT.
SO IS THE SECURITY PART OF, UH, YOUR COMPANY OR IS IT A THIRD PARTY SECURITY THAT YOU HIRE? SOMEBODY? I, I JUST SOMEBODY I HAVE.
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? OKAY.
SO WE'LL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC, HEARING ANYONE IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT LET'S MAKE.
UH, I FIRST, I JUST WANTED TO TELL EVERYBODY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THE EVENT EVERY YEAR AND SPIN.
I'VE BEEN DOING THE PUMPKIN PATCHES AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE LOTS SINCE THE NINETIES, I GREW UP IN THE HARBOR.
SO I'M, I'M TIED TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND, UM, IT'S BEEN A SUCCESS FOR MANY YEARS.
UM, WE RUN A VERY CLEAN, WELL MAINTAINED, UM, EVENT.
WE GET A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY.
I'VE HAD PEOPLE COME IN THERE FOR, FOR MANY YEARS, AND EVEN I ENDED UP HIRING GUYS WORKING AT THE EVENT THAT SAID THEY CAME THERE WHEN THEY'RE LITTLE, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S PRETTY NEAT.
UM, IT'S GOING TO BE SAD TO SEE IT GO BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S TALKS IN DEVELOPING THE, UH, THE SPACE HERE SOON.
SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT GOING WHILE WE CAN LAST YEAR WAS NICE.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE APPRECIATED IT BECAUSE,
[00:35:01]
YOU KNOW, WE WEREN'T THERE FOR COVID.WE WERE OPEN, BUT JUST TO THE PUMPKINS, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE RIDES.

WELL NOW HERE I'M ANYONE IN OPPOSING THE PROJECT? ANYONE? NOPE.
SO WE'LL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
AND I'LL CALL ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR DISCUSSION OR EMOTION.
UM, I, I, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SECURITY.
I KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
UM, SO JUST HAVING JUST THE TRAILERS IS GREAT AND SECURITY AT NIGHT IS GOOD.
UM, NOT HAVING SOMEBODY SPEND THE NIGHT.
I THINK THAT'S WHERE AN ISSUE CAME UP YEARS AGO.
SO IT'S GOOD, BUT I'M DEFINITELY IN FAVOR OF THIS HAS BEEN A FUN ONE TO APPROVE.
SO IF YOU GUYS ARE OKAY, LIKE TO GO AHEAD.
SO JUST HEARING LIKE THAT CONVERSATION ON THE SECURITY AND THE OVERNIGHT, AND I THINK WHAT I HEARD COMMISSIONER BERNAY SAY THIS OR HER PREFERENCE WOULD BE, UM, NOT OVERNIGHT.
I KNOW THERE IS SOME HISTORICAL CONTEXT TO THAT.
UM, COMMISSIONER ROJAS, YOU DIDN'T SAY HOW YOU FELT REALLY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, SO I'M NOT SURE, UM, THE WAY THE CUP IS WRITTEN, UM, MICHAEL, DOES IT STATE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER? I WAS GOING TO HAVE A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION.
AND WHILE HE'S LOOKING AT THAT INFORMATION, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT YOU WANT SOMEONE THERE OVERNIGHT.
YOU JUST DON'T WANT SOMEONE LIVING ONSITE, CORRECT.
YES, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF, I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE A PREFERENCE PERSONALLY, BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT MICHELLE HAD SAID.
MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST, JUST TO CLARIFY, UM, THIS IS A MULTI EVENT, SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE CHRISTMAS TREE OR WHEN THE PUMPKIN PATCH CLOSES DOWN, THEN, THEN THEY CONVERT OVER AND THEY RUN THE CHRISTMAS TREE LOT.
AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED THE YEAR WHERE THERE WERE COMPLAINTS FROM THE NEIGHBORS AS THE SECURITY PEOPLE STAYED IN THAT IN-BETWEEN TIME AND WAS LIVING ON SITE.
SO IT WASN'T A COMPLAINT SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE EVENT WHEN IT WAS GOING ON.
SO I THINK WHAT I'D BE LOOKING FOR MICHAEL, AND IT WOULDN'T WHENEVER YOU HAVE IT, UM, WOULD BE THANK YOU, ROY.
UM, IS THERE AN AVENUE THAT, THAT WE WOULD HAVE AS A CITY TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING? UM, IS THAT JUST A CODE ENFORCEMENT VISIT? UH, IF THAT WERE TO BE THE CASE, OR AGAIN, BACK TO THE CUP AND MY ORIGINAL QUESTION IS, DOES THE CUP PREVENT SOMEBODY STAYING THERE OVERNIGHT? DID YOU GET THAT FOR MICHAEL? YEAH.
THERE NO LANGUAGE IN THE CUP, UH, WHICH MAKES CONDITIONS ABOUT SECURITY.
UH, ON-SITE SECURITY OVERNIGHT FOR CLARIFICATION.
THIS IS A SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT.
SO THAT, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TYPE OF A DOCUMENT IN A CUP TYPE OF CONDITION.
UM, SO THIS, ANYTHING THAT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PLAN IS APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION OR THE OPERATING CONDITIONS AS APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION WOULD BECOME A CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY IMMEDIATELY.
IT WOULDN'T BE GO THROUGH A CUP TYPE OF A REPEAL PROCESS IF THERE WAS ISSUES.
AND I GUESS I JUST WASN'T CLEAR ON, ON WHAT, WHAT YOU STATED AND WHAT THAT MEANT.
SO DID WHAT YOU JUST READ TO US, MICHAEL, WAS THAT SAYING THAT THERE COULDN'T BE, OR DID IT JUST NOT SPEAK TO THAT AT ALL? CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS IN THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT PERTAINING TO ON-SITE SECURITY.
SO I WOULD INTERPRET THAT TO MEAN THAT IF THE APPLICANT HAD SOMEBODY THERE OVERNIGHT, THAT THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED AND WHAT COMMISSIONER BERNIE WOULD TRY TO NOT TO PUT WORDS IN HER MOUTH, BUT WHAT SHE WAS MAYBE TRYING TO AVOID, WE DON'T HAVE A WAY TO PREVENT THAT WITH ANY CONDITIONS CURRENTLY IN THE SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT.
DOES THAT SOUND ACCURATE, RIGHT? NO, SIR.
SO YOU CAN ADD ANY CONDITION YOU WANT, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT THERE, BUT IT RIGHT THERE AND RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT OKAY.
UM, AND I DON'T FEEL JUST AMONG US, I DON'T FEEL STRONGLY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
UM, SO I CAN, AND THE APPLICANT REALLY DIDN'T SOUND LIKE HE FELT STRONGLY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG, LONG TIME, AND I KNOW THERE'S OTHER, WHEN WE TRANSITIONED TO THE CHRISTMAS TREES AND THERE'S OTHER OPERATORS IN TOWN, I BELIEVE THAT DUKE, AT LEAST ONE OF THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE A LOT.
AND THEY DEFINITELY LIVE THERE BECAUSE I THINK THEY COME FROM OUT OF STATE.
I'M NOT POSITIVE, BUT, AND IN THE PAST I'VE HAD GUYS THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S
[00:40:01]
SEASONAL HELP, WHICH IS HARD TO OBTAIN.AND SOMETIMES I'VE HAD FRIENDS THAT COME, EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN YORBA LINDA AND I HAVE FRIENDS THAT COME FROM OREGON TO WORK FOR ME BECAUSE THEY'RE MAYBE TIED IN WITH MY GROWER AND SO FORTH.
SO I'M REQUESTING THAT WE BE ALLOWED TO LIVE ON SITE BECAUSE IT'S NEVER, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT THE ISSUE REALLY WAS THAT ONE TIME THAT, I MEAN, THERE'S ONE ISSUE ONE TIME IN LIKE OVER 20 YEARS.
SO I DON'T, WE KEEP THE PLACE IMMACULATE AND, UM, IT'S JUST CONVENIENT FOR PEOPLE.
I MEAN, I DON'T, SO THAT'S REALLY, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS.
THERE WON'T BE ANYBODY LIVING IN AS WD REM ROSALYN SAID ABOUT THE, UM, IN BETWEEN PERIOD.
THERE WON'T BE ANYBODY LIVING THERE, BUT WHEN WE'RE DOING THE EVENTS, IT'S BETTER.
IF I, CAUSE I, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND STUFF THERE, A LOT OF EQUIPMENT THAT I NEED PROTECTED AND IT'S JUST EASIER.
THAT WAS GOING TO BE, MY QUESTION WAS HEARING YOU SAY THAT AND THEN GETTING INTO THE POINT OF THE IN-BETWEEN TIME.
AND, AND SO THAT TURNAROUND FROM THE PUMPKIN'S TO THE CHRISTMAS TREES, THAT'S A FEW WEEKS.
IT'S BASICALLY WE'RE TRANSITIONING.
WE, WE WERE KIND OF TEARING DOWN AND RESETTING UP RECONFIGURING AND SO THAT'S HOW WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT.
SO DURING THAT TIMEFRAME, YOU'RE SAYING YOU'D BE FINE.
NOT HAVING SOMEBODY BE THERE OVERNIGHT, SLEEPING THERE, LIVING THERE AS SOON AS I GET THE, UM, RIGHT.
THE RIDES OFF SITE, WHICH USUALLY TAKES US, WE GOT, WE USUALLY YOU HAVE TO ROLL THEM.
THAT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE DAYS.
YOU KNOW, I THINK EVERYBODY'S SEEN IT.
AND THEN ONCE THAT IS OUT OF THERE AND BACK TO MY WAREHOUSE, THEN I DON'T NEED ANYBODY TO STAY IN THERE BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING I'M INTIMIDATED ABOUT UNTIL LIKE THANKSGIVING MINISTRIES SHOW UP, WHICH IS THANKSGIVING WEEK.
I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE JUST, AND JUST NOT REALLY FOR YOU, MR EISLER BUT MORE FOR THE REST OF THE COMMISSION.
I THINK IT WAS THAT IN BETWEEN TIME, IT WAS, UH, MY RECOLLECTION WAS THAT PERSON, YOU KNOW, KIND OF HANGING LAUNDRY OUT, UM, AND JUST THE PROPERTY BEING CLEAN, BUT THE RESIDENTS, JUST SEEING THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
UM, AND DID I WANTED TO, I DID WANT TO SAY ONE OTHER THING LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I DID, UM, WAS AFTER THE TREE LOT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU RECALL, BUT WE HAD QUITE A BIT OF RAIN LIKE RIGHT AROUND CHRISTMAS OR RIGHT AFTER.
SO I HAD TO, I COULDN'T GET THE STUFF BACK QUICKLY ENOUGH TO MY STORAGE BECAUSE THE STORAGE WHERE I STORE GOT TOO WET AND I GOT A LOT OF THEFT AND VANDALISM, IT WAS PRETTY EXTENSIVE.
SO THAT WAS A BUMMER, BUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND, YOU KNOW, THAT IT SEES STUFF SITTING THERE AND THAT'S WHY I NEEDED TO PROTECT IT.
WHAT TYPE OF STUFF WAS, WAS STOLEN OR VANDALIZED.
UM, THE TRAILERS WERE BROKEN INTO AND, UM, WIRING WAS STRIPPED AND BATTERIES AND, UM, SPARE TIRES TAKING AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
DID YOU LIKE, WERE THE POLICE INVOLVED IN ANY OF THAT? YEAH.
SO THERE WOULD BE PLACE REPORTS THAT KIND OF DOCUMENTED.
I ENDED UP FI UH, DOING AN INSURANCE CLAIM, BUT YEAH, I DID A POLICE REPORT AND OKAY.
UH, SO CLARIFY FOR ME, THIS SPECIAL EVENT IS SPECIFIC TO JUST THE PUMPKIN PATCH.
THEY WILL COME BACK AGAIN FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE LOT, OR IS THIS PART OF THE ANCILLARY ACTIVITIES? THE CHRISTMAS TREE A LOT DOES NOT REQUIRE A SPECIAL EVENT.
THEY WERE UNDER A DIFFERENT SECTION OF THE CODES.
SO THIS IS THE ONE THAT FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY OF THAT JUST COMES TO THE COMMISSION BECAUSE OF THE DURATION, TYPICALS SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT THAT'S THREE OR FOUR DAYS, YOU KNOW, IT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE THING, BUT IF IT GOES LONGER THAN THAT, UM, IT REQUIRES SENDING NOTICES TO THE NEIGHBORS.
UM, AND THEN HAVING A, A COMMISSION HEARING, JUST SO THERE'S NO IMPACTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH OF THE EVENT.
IT'S A SEPARATE PERMIT I ALWAYS PULL FOR.
SO FOR THE TREE LINE, THAT'S JUST ADMINISTRATIVE.
BUT IT'S LIKE THE SAME IN THE SENSE OF, HE GIVES UP CONDITIONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
UM, ANY OF THOSE, AND AGAIN, I HAVE NO PROBLEM APPROVING IT.
AND LIKE MANNY SAID, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU, UH, LET THE PERSON GO.
AS, I GUESS IT WAS A LOT OF ISSUES.
THERE WAS MORE ISSUES THAN THAT.
AND YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT, IT'S IRRELEVANT NOW, SO LET'S APPROVE THE PROJECT.
[00:45:01]
IF YOU CAN COMMENT.I JUST WANTED TO SAY IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE OVERNIGHT, UM, SECURITY THERE.
SO I'M IN FULL SUPPORT OF IT AND IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE EVENT.
SO WITH THAT, CAN YOU EMOTIONAL? YEAH.
HE SOUNDS LIKE HE TOOK CARE OF IT.
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA APPROVING SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT 22 DASH ZERO THREE AND CONDUCT A LARD TO CONDUCT A LARGE EVENT THAT INCLUDES A PUMPKIN PATCH AND ANCILLARY ACTIVITIES AT 7 77 SOUTH BEACH BOULEVARD, MAKING THE APPROPRIATE FINDINGS AS PER THE APPROVED PLANS AND SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.
THE SECOND I SECOND THE MOTION.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE PUTTING YOUR VOTES, PLEASE MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO, AND IT WILL BECOME FINE ON 10 WORKING DAYS, UNLESS IT'S APPEALED TO CITY COUNCIL KERRY, HE SAID, HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A PUMPKIN.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO, UM, PUBLIC HEARING ITEM THREE.
AND FOR THE RECORD, UH, COMMISSIONER ZURICH NOW HAS JOINED THE MEETING.
SO DULY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REQUESTS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 22 DASH 20 TO ALLOW THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE UNDER A TYPE 41 ON SELL BEER AND WINE LICENSE ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGE CONTROL FOR AN EXISTING RESTAURANT AT 2050 WEST WHITTIER BOULEVARD, SUITE B, DO WE HAVE ANY CORRESPONDENCE FOR THIS ITEM? NO, WE DO NOT.
DO WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT? YES.
UH, SO AS STATED THE APPLICANT HARRY C. DOUGLAS IS REQUESTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES UNDER A TYPE 41, A LICENSE AT AN EXISTING RESTAURANT, THE GREEN CHILI, THE GREEN CHILI RESTAURANT IS LOCATED WITHIN SUITE B AT 2050 WEST WHITTIER BOULEVARD.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WEST WHITTIER BOULEVARD AND NORTH CHANTRY DRIVE.
WALGREENS PHARMACY IS LOCATED TO THE EAST WITH RESIDENTIAL TO THE SOUTH.
THE RESTAURANT IS LOCATED ON THE SECOND TENANT FROM THE WEST END OF THE BUILDING.
THE GREEN CHILI RESTAURANT HAS OPERATED WITHIN THE 987 SQUARE FOOT TENANT SPACE B SINCE 2015, THE RESTAURANT IS KNOWN FOR THEIR NEW MEXICO STYLE FOOD, WHICH INCLUDES SPECIALTIES SUCH AS THE NAVAJO TACO AND STUFFED SOPHIA'S.
THE RESTAURANT ALSO OFFERS A BREAKFAST MENU AND SERVES TRADITIONAL FAVORITES, SUCH AS ENCHILADAS CASSIDY IS TACOS AND BURRITOS.
UH, THE RESTAURANT CURRENTLY EMPLOYS SIX EMPLOYEES.
UH, NO CHANGES ARE BEING PROPOSED TO THE HOURS OF OPERATION SHOWN ON THE SCREEN.
UH, SEAN, THE SCREEN IS THE FLOOR PLAN FOR THE RESTAURANT.
THE DINING AREA PROVIDES SEATING FOR UP TO 30 CUSTOMERS.
UH, THE OWNERS HAVE ADVISED THAT ALCOHOL WILL BE STORED IN THE REFRIGERATOR HIGHLIGHTED ON THE FLOOR PLAN.
UH, PROPOSED DRINK OFFERINGS WOULD INCLUDE BOTTLED AND CANNED BEERS, SUCH AS COORS LIGHT, BUD LIGHT, DSEC KEYS, MODELO, VARIOUS CRAFT BEERS.
UH, THEY'D BE OFFERING MICHELADAS, UM, AS WELL AS WINES, SUCH AS A WHITE ZINFANDEL CHARDONNAY AND MERLOW SO IN ADDITION TO THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, UM, A TYPE 41 ON SALE LICENSE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL IS REQUIRED.
UH, ABC ALLOWS UP TO THREE ON SALE LICENSES WITHIN CENSUS TRACT, 11.02.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY 13 ON SALE LICENSES IN THE CENSUS TRACT, UH, BECAUSE OF THIS, THE APPLICANT, IT IS CONSIDERED AN UNDUE CONCENTRATION AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUIRED TO JUSTIFY A FINDING OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY FOR ABC IN ORDER TO SUPPORT, UH, THE, THE REQUIRED PCN STAFF ADDED CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL SUBJECT, UM, TO THE CUP AND TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY AND COMPLIANCE WITH CITY CODES AND ORDINANCES.
UM, THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE IN THE PAST WITH OTHER CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR ALCOHOL SO SINCE THE REQUIRED FINDINGS FOR THE APPROVAL OF A CUP CAN BE MADE, IT IS THE RECOMMENDATION
[00:50:01]
THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 2220.AT THIS TIME I LOST THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS.
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF, COMMISSIONER BRUNNER AND MAKE SURE YOU'RE MANLY.
MICHAEL, I THINK YOU SAID THAT THERE'S A LIMIT OF 3% IS TRACKED, UM, THERE'S 13 THERE AT THIS TIME.
AND ARE, DO WE KNOW WHERE THOSE 13 ARE? I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT IS YES.
BUT COULD YOU MAYBE EXPLAIN WHY THERE'S SO MANY THERE ARE THEY ALL CONCENTRATED IN ONE PARTICULAR AREA? I KNOW THERE'S, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON OVER THERE.
MAYBE YOU COULD SPEAK TO THOSE 13, JUST SO WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO THE, THE CALCULATION IS BASED OFF OF POPULATION, UM, IN THE AREA, UH, BUT IT DOESN'T CONSIDER THE LAND USES IN THE AREA.
SO THAT CENSUS TRACT INCLUDES IMPERIAL AND BEACH.
UM, SO IT'S RED ROBIN BLACK BEAR DINER, BOREDOM BREW THE MOVIE THEATER.
UM, SO WE GO ALL THE WAY THAT FAR SOUTH, ALL THE, YEAH, ALL THE, ALL THE RESTAURANTS IN THAT AREA, UM, ARE ALL INCLUDED IN THE CENSUS TRACT.
I THINK WHEN WE SEE THAT, UM, IT SEEMS ALARMING, BUT THEN WHEN YOU GO UP A LITTLE HIGHER AND LOOK AT THE FLY OVER AND REALIZE WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY TO RED ROBIN AND BLACKBERRY DINER, IT SEEMS KIND OF CRAZY.
SO, UM, NO, NO MORE QUESTIONS.
AND JUST AS A FOLLOW-UP TO THAT, ARE THEY ALL TYPE 41 OUT OF THE 13 OR IS IT A MIXTURE OF 47 AND 41 AND STUFF LIKE THAT? I BELIEVE THERE MIGHT BE A COUPLE 40 SEVENS.
I LIKE THE, THE ELKS LODGE I THINK, IS CONSIDERED IN THERE.
UM, TH THAT THE DIRECT ANSWER IS THAT IS JUST THE TYPE 41 47 W OR COUNTED DIFFERENT.
SO WE'LL NOW MOVE ON, UM, AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE WILL HEAR FROM THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
UM, IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR, PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.
UH, CLEARLY STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS THE COMMISSION.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT YOU DON'T HAVE TO? ARE YOU THE APPLICANT? UM, I'VE OWNED THE BUSINESS.
WE STARTED OFF IN LA MORADA AND THEN I OPENED LAHABRA ANGELINA.
UH, I ORIGINALLY WANTED TO START OFF WITH THE BEER AND WINE LICENSE.
I HAD ONE AT THE LAMADA STORE, BUT I WAS TOLD MANY TIMES THAT WE COULDN'T BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A RESTROOM IN FRONT, BUT THAT WAS INCORRECT.
SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH COUNSEL SYNDICATES, CITY, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE, UM, THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULD AND JUST DOING THE RUNNING AROUND.
SO WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
UM, IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE OPEN TILL SEVEN, EIGHT ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS.
IT'S JUST TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT OPTION FOR PEOPLE WHEN THEY WANTED, IT'S NOT A PARTY PLACE OR IT'S NOT A SPORTS BAR.
IT'S, IT'S JUST A FAMILY BUSINESS WHERE PEOPLE CAN HAVE A BEER WITH THEIR FOOD.
JUST AS A FOLLOW-UP I NOTICED ON THE FLOOR PLAN, IT'S JUST A DROP-IN COOLER.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT A LARGER COOLER RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE A SMALL COCA-COLA ONE.
WE'LL JUST HAVE A BIGGER ONE JUST TO HOLD THE BEER AND THE SODAS IN IT.
I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FLOOR PLAN, IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS DIRECTLY LIKE, IF YOU, YEAH, IT'S IN THE DINING ROOM, THERE'S A LITTLE FRIGERATOR RIGHT THERE.
UM, AND WE WOULD SERVE IT TO THE GUESTS.
IT'S, IT'S A FULL SERVICE DINING, EVEN THOUGH WE ONLY HAVE SEVEN TABLES, WE DO SERVE OUR GUESTS.
NOBODY GETS THEIR OWN ITEMS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT.
SO NOW MOVING ON TO, UM, ANYONE WISHING TO OPPOSE THE PROJECT, ANYONE LIKE, ALL RIGHT, WE WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE WILL CALL THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS FOR A DISCUSSION OR MOTION.
UH, MR. CHAIR, WITH YOUR PERMISSION, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, MAKE A MOTION, A RESOLUTION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAHABRA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 22 DASH 20 TO ALLOW THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE UNDER A TYPE 41 ON SALE BEER AND WINE LICENSE ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL FOR AN EXISTING RESTAURANT AT 2050 WEST WHITTIER BOULEVARD, SUITE B AS PER THE APPROVED PLANS, MAKING THE APPROPRIATE FINDINGS IN SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND, SECOND? ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE, PLEASE ENTER YOUR VOTE.
[00:55:02]
MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO, AND IT'LL BECOME FINE ON 10 WORKING DAYS, UNLESS IT'S APPEALED TO CITY COUNCIL BUT CONGRATULATIONS.AND THANK YOU FOR BEING IN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
UH, MOVING ON TO COMMENTS FROM STAFF.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM STAFF? UH, YES.
MR. CHAIRMAN, A COUPLE THINGS.
SO NEXT MEETING ON THE 22ND, I BELIEVE IS THE DATE.
WE WILL BE BRINGING YOU THE DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT, UM, ASKING FOR THE COMMISSION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE.
UM, THE LAST TIME WE BROUGHT IT TO YOU, IT WAS JUST TO MOVE IT FORWARD.
DATE CD, UM, FOR THEM FOR TO REVIEW AND CERTIFICATION.
UM, OUR ORIGINAL GAME PLAN WAS WAIT TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAD CERTIFICATION BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS.
UM, SINCE HCD IS TAKING A LITTLE LONGER THAN WE WOULD LIKE WHERE WE'VE SWAPPED UP THE PROCESS, OR WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH, WITH APPROVAL, AND THIS'LL BE THE THIRD DRAFT, WE'LL BE SENDING BACK TO THE HCD.
SO WE'RE FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL CERTIFY THIS PARTICULAR VERSION, BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
SO, AND A SECOND THING IS AFTER I'M A VERY HAPPY 37 YEARS OF, UH, WORKING FOR THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA, I'VE, UH, DECIDED, UH, TIME TO TAKE A REST.

WELL, ROY, I'D LIKE TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA FOR ALL THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS OVER YOUR TIME HERE.
UM, WE WILL MISS YOU AND YOU WILL BE TRULY MISSED.
YOU REALLY SAW THE CITY CHANGE.
YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE, SO YOU WILL BE MISSED, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'LL STILL BE ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.
UM, SO ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS COMMISSIONER BURN NEAR? WOW, THAT'S ALL I GOTTA SAY.
UH, I'M REALLY GLAD THAT THE GREEN CHILI CAME IN.
I KNEW THAT WAS AN ISSUE WHEN SHE FIRST CAME IN, WHERE I WAS WITH THE CHAMBER AND JEN, HER GRAND OPENING AND STUFF.
SO IT WAS REALLY COOL TO SEE IT GROW AND I HOPE SHE STAYS.
I'M GLAD SHE SURVIVED THE PANDEMIC.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO, IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO, TO SEE THE COMMUNITY COME OUT, WHETHER THEY'RE, UM, FOR A PROJECT OR AGAINST IT, UM, JUST TO HEAR THEIR CONCERNS.
AND, UM, IT'S NICE WHEN THE, THE ACTUAL, UM, PERSON SHOWS UP TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER ABOUT THE DECISIONS THAT ARE BEING MADE UP HERE.
