IT HAS SIMILAR COLORS AND MATERIALS AS THE RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED PAD PAD BUILDING LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTER.
THE BUILDING INCLUDES A WHITE AND GRAY EXTERIOR COLORS AND A GREEN ACCENT COLOR.
A TRAFFIC STUDY AND A PARKING STUDY WERE SUBMITTED AND THESE ANALYZE THE PROJECT'S TRAFFIC IMPACTS, TRIP GENERATION, BEAL QUEUING AND ONSITE PARKING.
THE ANTICIPATED TRIP GENERATION OF THE FOR THE PROJECT IS MINIMAL AND NO MITIGATION IS REQUIRED.
THE PROJECT IS ALSO NOT SUBJECT TO V M T OR A VEHICLE.
THREE OTHER CRISPY KRES WERE ANALYZED.
THESE INCLUDED, UH, CRISPY KREMEN, THE CITY OF LONG BEACH, CITY OF INDUSTRY AND SAN DIEGO.
THE DATA CONCLUDED THAT THE AVERAGE Q LENGTH FOR ALL THREE WAS 13 VEHICLES.
THE MAX OBSERVED WAS 23 VEHICLES FOR THE UH, INDUSTRY LOCATION.
THE LAHAMER DRIVE-THROUGH HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE 15 VEHICLES WITHIN THE DRIVE-THROUGH
[00:10:01]
ONSITE PARKING WAS ALSO ANALYZED WITHIN THE EASTERLY END OF THE CENTER, UH, IDENTIFIED AS ZONE THREE AND IT INCLUDES THE KRISPY KREME IHOP AND THE PAD BUILDING WEST OF IHOP.THE DATA OUTLINED THAT THERE WILL BE A SURPLUS AT 27 SPACES WITHIN ZONE THREE WITH FULL OCCUPANCY OF THE PAD BUILDING.

LASTLY, THE PROJECT INCLUDES A SIGN PACKET THAT OUTLINES THE PROJECT'S, WALL SIGNS, DIRECTIONAL ONSITE SIGNAGE, UH, THE MENU BOARD INCLUDING THE USE OR CONSTRUCTION OF AN EIGHT FOOT HIGH MONUMENT SIGN ALONG IMPERIAL HIGHWAY.
UM, ALL THE PROJECTS FINDINGS CAN BE MADE, THEREFORE STAFF, UH, IS IN SUPPORT AND, UH, RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
AT THIS TIME WE'LL ASK THE COMMISSIONERS IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU DAVID, REGARDING, UH, PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE ON THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN, THERE'S TEMPORARY SIGNAGE INVOLVED IN GOING KIND OF FROM PHASE ONE OR PHASE TWO.
I'M JUST REALLY TRYING TO SEE AND BE CLEAR ON WHAT WOULD TELL THAT VEHICLE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S CAR NUMBER 16 OR 17 OR WHATEVER.
UM, WHERE THEY SHOULD BE LINING UP IS IS THAT SOME OF THE SIGNAGE THERE I'M SEEING IS TEMPORARY, SOME IS, IS PERMANENT.
CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY THAT FOR ME? SURE.
WITHIN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE DIFFERENT PHASES, THE USE OF TEMPORARY SIGN IS GONNA BE AUTHORIZED AS WELL AS STAFF FROM TO BE ABLE TO DIRECT TRAFFIC.
SO YOU, YOU WOULD HAVE SIGNAGE AS WELL AS EMPLOYEES FROM CHRISTIAN KRE TO DIRECT TRAFFIC ON SITE.
AND IS ANY PART OF THAT, UM, PART OF THE C U P OR THE, IS THAT JUST THE DISCRETION OF THE OPERATOR? THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLANS WERE DESIGNED TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE ALL VEHICLES ON SITE.
THEY'RE PART OF THE ATTACHMENTS IN THE REPORT, IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND PARKING STUDY.
SO THOSE EXHIBITS ARE ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THOSE REPORTS.
MAYBE I'LL ASK IT A DIFFERENT WAY.
SO IF, IF WE GET TO, YOU KNOW, 20 PLUS VEHICLES AND THAT WOULD REQUIRE US TO GO INTO PHASE TWO, THOSE VEHICLES DON'T KNOW WHAT PHASE TWO IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE BECAUSE THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THIS DOCUMENT EVER.
UM, SO THE TEMPORARY SIGNS WE'RE RELYING ON THE OPERATOR TO GET THOSE SIGNS IN PLACE WHEN WE ENTER THAT PHASE.
UM, AND IF THE OPERATOR DOESN'T DO THAT, WE JUST KINDA HOPE FOR THE BEST OR DOES THAT, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE DAVID? YES, AND I AM LOOKING THROUGH THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
SO AS PART OF THE EXHIBIT FOR THE CONDITION USE PERMIT, WE HAVE THE CONDITION THAT REQUIRES A TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN TO BE ON SITE AND ADHERE TO AT ALL TIMES.
IN ADDITION, THERE SHOULD BE A CONDITION SIMILAR TO OTHER PROJECTS WHERE IF POLICE SERVICES ARE NEEDED, THE APPLICANT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT OF THOSE SERVICES.
I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
COMMISSIONER MAIA, I DO NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.
MR. CHURCH? UH, YES DAVID, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE STAFF REPORT.
[00:15:01]
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PREVIOUS VEHICLE, UM, QUEUE WAS WHEN THEY WERE HERE DURING THAT TIME? I MEAN, WAS IT, YOU KNOW, I'VE LIVED HERE FOR 33 YEARS, SO I REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE HERE AND THE LINES USED TO BE CRAZY, SO I'M JUST WONDERING, YOU KNOW, I NEVER STOPPED TO COUNT HOW MANY CARS WERE THERE, BUT DO WE KNOW IF, IF THIS NUMBER OF 15 IN THE QUEUE IS ADEQUATE FOR THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS THAT ARE IN LAHABRA AND PEOPLE COMING TO US NOW THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE OVER THE HILL TO CITY INDUSTRY? UH, UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE THE QUEUE ANALYSIS FROM WHEN KRISPY KREME WAS IN OPERATION.UM, HOWEVER, TAKING A LOOK AT THE TWO DRIVE-THROUGH LOCATIONS WITHIN THE CENTER, CHICK-FIL-A REMODELED THEIR DRIVE-THROUGH CONFIGURATION TO ALLOW FOR UP TO 18 VEHICLES AND THAT'S USING DUAL LANES.
THE PREVIOUS WAS JUST A SINGLE LANE, SO IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN, UH, LESS THAN THAT.
BUT THAT'S ALSO PART OF WHY THE PROJECT INCLUDES THESE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLANS TO TRY TO ANTICIPATE, UM, THE NEED DIFFERENT SCENARIOS BASED ON THE, THE TRAFFIC VOLUMES ON SITE.
SO WE HAVE A PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO TO TRY TO ACCOMMODATE AND KEEP THE TRAFFIC ON THE PROPERTY AND NOT SPILL ONTO IMPERIAL OR IDAHO.
I ACTUALLY DO HAVE A QUESTION NOW.
SO THE, THE REPORTS THAT WERE DONE ON TRAFFIC, THE TRAFFIC REPORTS, WERE THEY DONE ON LOCATIONS THAT WERE IN CITIES THAT ARE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS LAHABRA? WOULD YOU? BECAUSE IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IT'S THREE OTHER CITIES, RIGHT? SAN DIEGO, LONG BEACH.
UM, WE ACTUALLY REQUESTED THAT THEY ANALYZED THE CLOSEST ONE TO LAJA, WHICH IS THE CITY OF INDUSTRY AND THE NUMBERS DID SHOW A HIGHER, UH, QUEUE COUNT AND THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT IT MAY BE BASED ON ITS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FREEWAY.
OKAY, WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO PUBLIC HEARING.
WE'LL HEAR FIRST FROM THE APPLICANT IF THEY'D LIKE TO WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION FOLLOWED BY ANYONE ELSE AT THE PUBLIC COMMENTS WISH TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.
CAN WE PLEASE HAVE AN APPLICANT COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM NOW TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION IF THEY HAVE ANY PRESENT AND WISH TO DO SO? HI COMMISSIONERS, MY NAME'S AMBER WESLEY.

OKAY, MOVING ON NOW WE'LL HEAR FROM THOSE AT WISHING TO OPPOSE THE PROJECT.

UM, SO THANK YOU TO STAFF AND THE APPLICANT ON THAT AND UM, I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PROJECT, UM, WHEN MY COLLEAGUES ARE READY.
COMMISSIONER SERGE? UH, YES, THANK YOU.
UM, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD WAS, UM, OR NOT REALLY A QUESTION.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE APPLICANT, UM, DOING A, A TOTAL REMODEL TO THAT, UM, TO THAT BUILDING.
UM, IT, MY FIRST CONCERN WHEN I HEARD IT WAS COMING AND I KNEW THE LOCATION WAS THE TRAFFIC AND HOW WERE THEY GONNA DO A DRIVE-THROUGH WHEN I KNEW THAT WHAT THEY HAVE THERE NOW IS LIKE, THAT'S NOT GONNA ACCOMMODATE.
SO THIS IS GONNA WORK OUT REALLY WELL AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT.
[00:20:01]
MACHEN, I'M JUST GLAD THAT CRISPY KRE IS COMING BACK TO TOWN.WHY'D THEY LEAVE US THE I KNOW.
WHY'D YOU LEAVE
I'M EXCITED THAT THERE'S GONNA BE SEVERAL EMPLOYEES AND I'M EXCITED THAT THERE'S SUSTAINABILITY IN, UH, THE, THE BUILDING.
I LIKE THAT YOU'RE DOING DELIVERIES.
I REALLY THINK THAT THERE WAS A GOOD TRAFFIC ANALYSIS PUT TOGETHER TO CONSIDER WHAT WE HAD LAST TIME.
JUST LIKE COMMISSIONER SEARCH MENTIONED IT WAS A MESS AND PEOPLE GETTING IN AND OUT OF THAT AREA WAS REALLY HARD.
SO I THINK MOVING IT OVER TO A BLYTHE AREA ACTUALLY WORKS OUT VERY, VERY WELL FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR THAT CORNER.
UM, LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'LL BE TOO BAD.
THE DRIVEWAYS ARE PRETTY FAR AWAY, SO I'M HAPPY WITH THAT AND I'M HAPPY WITH THE 50 CAR TENTATIVE, UM, DESIGN.
SO, UH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.
WELL, MANLEY YOU SAID FIRST, GO AHEAD.
