Commissioner Goff suggested an additional condition
which would provide that all trash shall be stored
within the building until it is to be picked up.
Commissioner Allen suggested that Condition No. 3 of
the April 6, 1978 approval be added, which states,
"That all mechanical equipment and trash areas shall be
screened from public streets, alleys or adjoining
properties."
Mr. Laycock stated that such a condition was not
included in Exhibit "A ", because the applicant's plot
plan provides for a trash enclosure which was required
by the previous use permit for the restaurant.
Commissioner Goff expressed his concern that the
applicant and the operator of the restaurant store the
trash in an acceptable place and manner. Planning
Director Hewicker suggested an additional condition
which would read as follows, "That there shall be
• provided on -site, a trash enclosure which is screened,
or if not, then the trash shall be kept inside the
building until it is picked up." Commissioner Goff
stated that this would be acceptable.
Commissioner Winburn referred to Condition No. 11 and
suggested that the approval be for a period of 60 to 90
days, rather than for one year. Mr. Robert Burnham,
City Attorney, stated that the City Council had imposed
such a condition on an amendment to a lease on the
Balboa Pier for a beer and wine application. Mr.
Burnham suggested that the Commission could impose a
condition which would allow for review by the
Modifications Committee within 90 days to determine if
there had been an increase in alcohol related incidents
within the specified area.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
McLaughlin, Planning Director Hewicker stated that the
proposed request would allow on -sale alcoholic
beverages, but that no alcoholic beverages shall be
sold or consumed outside of the restaurant building.
Mr. Burnham suggested that Condition No. 11 be modified
to reflect that the Modifications Committee shall
review the operation if the Police Department receives
• complaints or if the Police Department feels as though
there are incidents related to the sale of alcohol
within the premises. Commissioner Winburn stated that
this would be acceptable.

Planning Director Hewicker suggested an additional
condition which would read as follows, "That if
automobiles are proposed to be washed on -site, the
waste water from the car -wash facility shall be
directed into the sewer system and not into the storm
drain system." Chairman King concurred.
In response to a question posed by Chairman King,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that approval of the
Building Department and Fire Department would be
required in order for the applicant to install
underground fuel tanks on the property. Chairman King
expressed his concern that the property in question is
located directly below residential units. Planning
Director Hewicker stated that many of the uses in this
particular area of West Coast Highway started out as
automobile agencies. He added that there have been no
problems of this nature in the past.
• Commissioner Allen referred to Condition No. 9, which
relates to the landscaping plan, and suggested that
there be an emphasis placed upon the landscape
screening of the wrought iron gates from West Coast
Highway.
Commissioner Allen referred to Condition No. 5, which
relates to the sign requirements, and suggested that
the staff also review the proposed signs, when
reviewing the proposed landscape plan. Planning
Director Hewicker asked Commissioner Allen if she is
concerned with the size, color or illumination of the
proposed signs. Commissioner Allen stated that the
proposed signs should be compatible with the character
of the surrounding neighborhood. Planning Director
Hewicker stated that the Commission could impose a
condition which would require that all signs and
landscaping be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
In response to a question posed by Chairman King, Mr.
Garnee distributed to the Commission photographs of
signs located at their facilities in Los Angeles and
Arizona. He stated that the proposed sign would be
smaller in size, but similar in nature to the signs
depicted in the photographs. Planning Director
Hewicker stated that the proposed sign is actually
• one -third the size of a sign which could be permitted
at this location.

Mr. Garnee submitted to the Commission a preliminary
landscaping plan and answered the Commission's
questions relating to the plan.
Commissioner Allen suggested that vines be planted on
the center section of the wrought iron fence. She
stated that in this way, the proposed automobile rental
and leasing facility will not look offensive, yet will
provide for an attractive commercial use.
Chairman King stated that the visibility of the
vehicles for an automobile rental agency is not as
important as that of a automobile for -sale agency. Mr.
Garnee stated that additional landscape planting along
the fence would be acceptable.
Commissioner McLaughlin stated that she would not be in
favor of additional landscape planting. She stated
that she enjoys seeing the various types of
• automobiles, such as Ferraris, Lamborghinis and
Mercedes, which would be for rental or lease. She
further stated that the staff could review and approve
the proposed sign.
Planning Director Hewicker referred to Condition No. 9
and suggested that the following wording could be
added, "That there shall be a continuous strip in the
back of the sidewalk, except where the driveways are
located, 3 to 5 feet in depth for the landscaping." He
stated that this would be more feasible than the
planting of the landscape in boxes.
In response to a question posed by Planning Director
Hewicker, Mr. Garnee stated that their lease is for a
period of five years, with a five year option.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that a permanent
landscape plan with irrigation, is not unreasonable to
impose, in considering the length of the lease.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Mr. Garnee stated that the majority of the auto repair
building will be utilized for automobile storage, and
only a portion of the building will be utilized for
routine maintenance activities. Mr. Garnee also stated
• that the entire asphalt area will be repaved.

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Mr. Garnee stated that three of the drive approaches
will be utilized, and the 12 foot drive approach will
be closed. He stated that the remaining three drive
approaches will be a minimum of 24 feet in width.
In response to a. question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Mr. Donald Webb, City Engineer, explained the purpose
of Condition No. 14. He stated that the future -
widening of West Coast Highway may prohibit parking or.
require restriping which would prohibit parking in the
area. He stated that when this should occur, if the
applicant feels as though he needs on- street parking,
the applicant can then construct a parking bay which
would allow for additional parking spaces. He stated
that the parking bay would be constructed in an area ..
which would not be required for roadway purposes. He
stated that the sidewalk would then be moved to the
side of the parking bay.
•ion X Motion was made for approval of Use Permit No. 3039,
subject to the findings and conditions of Exhibit "A ",
