FIELD TRIP OF Council viewed the setback behind Lucky's
EASTVIEW AREA Market.
Council and the Commission conducted a field trip of the various commercial
establishments in the Westmont Plaza, and it was the consensus that buffering
is necessary behind the Lucky's Market and that the zero setback behind the
shops abutting the Sanitation District property was not a problem.
Council directed staff to contact the owner of Carl's Jr. regarding the
negative impact of its drive -thru operation on its residential neighbors.
Request Carl's to change to a less disruptive communications device and /or
limit the hours of operation for the drive -thru. Council did not find zero
setback objectionable, small 5' - 10' setbacks create more of a problem.
Council discussed sign materials, window signs, and building heights.
Council directed staff to enforce code relative to removal of I.D. signs for
businesses that no longer exist.
Council directed staff to contact the owner of Harbor Heights regarding his
intentions for improving the property. The consensus was that while there
exists a visibility problem, all the signs along the frontage of Harbor
Heights are not necessary.
Council directed staff to contact Councilwoman Flores regarding a boundary
adjustment in front of Western Plaza.
