Planning Commission
Regular Adjourned Meeting
April 11, 1978
The meeting was called to order at 7:39 p.m. in the City Council Chambers,
30942 Hawthorne Boulevard, by Chairman McTaggart.
PRESENT: Hinchliffe, Hughes, Rosenberg, McTaggart
ABSENT: Bacharach
Also present were Associate Planner Gary Weber and Assistant Planner Keith
Turner.
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 32110 Mr. Turner said the draft resolution
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 33 and conditions reflective of the con -
Crenshaw Blvd. across from Sea- ceptual approval of the conditional
crest Drive (Upper Nike Site) use permit granted at the last meeting
Applicant: The Burrells and the recommendation, draft resolu-
tion and conditions for the tentative
tract map to be forwarded to the Council were in the Commission's agenda
packet. He referred to the addendum and revision sheet to the resolutions
which staff submitted to the Commission this evening and reviewed each of
the recommended changes, including the deletion of condition #5 and the
deletion of a portion of condition #16 of the tentative tract map resolution
(which had been omitted from the addendum).
Mr. Hughes proposed changing tentative map condition #33 to reflect no vehi-
cular access except for necessary maintenance equipment and vehicles.
Mr. Rosenberg proposed adding conditional use permit condition #13.h. to
reflect that any future lighting will require a review by the homeowners
and the City under prevailing ordinances.
Mr. Rosenberg was concerned that condition #30 (tentative map) did not in-
clude that the applicant would be correcting the drainage problem on the
opposite side of Crenshaw.
Mr. McTaggart agreed that the conditions should reflect that the developer
would make improvements to the storm drain.
The Commission directed staff to work with the Public Works Director and
the City Attorney for appropriate wording on condition #30 (tentative map)
to include improvement of the storm drain.
Mr. Hinchliffe proposed changing the word "should" to "shall" in condition
#13.c. of the conditional use permit resolution and condition #20 of the
tentative map resolution.
Mr. McTaggart asked if the applicant agreed with the conditions, and Mr.
Burrell answered in the affirmative.
On motion of Mr. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Hinchliffe, and unanimously carried,
the Commission adopted Resolution 78-31, as amended, approving Conditional
Use Permit No. 33, subject to the conditions in Exhibit "A", as amended in
the addendum from staff and as amended this evening, including the addition
of condition #13.h.
On motion of Mr. Rosenberg, seconded by Mr. Hughes, and unanimously carried,
the Commission recommended to the City Council approval of Tentative Tract
Map No. 32110, subject to the conditions in Exhibit "A", as amended in the
addendum from staff and as amended this evening, with the request that the
City Attorney review conditions #22 thru #30 for advice as to the intent of
the resolution.
Mr. McTaggart advised the audience that the decision on the conditional use
permit may be appealed to the City Council within fifteen (15) calendar days.
He requested that copies of the revised resolutions and exhibits be mailed
to the Planning Commission.

On motion of Mr. Hinchliffe, seconded by Mr. Hughes, and unanimously carried,
the Commission moved to extend Conditional Use Permit No. 12 for two years
or to the approval of a conditional use permit for the proposed expansion
of Golden Cove Center, whichever occurs first.
INFORMAL CONCEPT REVIEW Mr. Weber said this review would be
very conceptual and that he would
provide the Commission with any con-
cept which was out of the ordinary. In that way, it would not be a regular-
ly scheduled meeting, only upon specific request by staff.
It was the consensus of the Commission to try this review and determine how
effective it is.
COMMISSION REPORTS Mr. McTaggart said at the last meeting
he was to write a letter to the City
Council re comments received concerning
Otiaccess (Tentative Parcel Map No. 8744). He said he did not get the letter
typed in time and, therefore, verbally expressed those concerns at the
Council meeting. He said the Council and the Public Works Director were
very receptive.
ADJOURNMENT At 9:50 p.m. it was moved, seconded,
and carried, to adjourn to Tuesday,
April 25, 1978, at 7:30 p.m.
