COMMISSION BUSINESS
4 Reauest to approve an interim policv addressina development proposals in the Chaparral
Special Studv Area while the General Plan is beina updated. The interim policv further
refines how the Chaparral criteria will be implemented and is expected to be consistent with
the General Plan after it is updated
RECOMMENDATION
4.1 Recommend City Council Approval of the Chaparral I nterim Policy
Principal Planner Hogan presented a staff report (of record), noting the following:
. That in developing the proposed policy, staff had discussions with an ad hoc City
Council Subcommittee as well as the General Plan Community Advisory Committee
(CAC);
. That both groups were of the opinion that development proposals that protect sensitive
open space areas and provide local trail connections are desirable and have the highest
potential for community wide benefits;
. That the proposed interim policy is as follows:
o Limit the gross density in the Chaparral area to one dwelling unit per acre, except
for the tier of lots adjacent to Ynez Road where a density of two dwelling units
per acre would be more appropriate;
o That a one unit per acre density allow half-acre sized lots to help preserve
sensitive open space and habitat areas;
o That all future developments provide trail dedications for the Citywide trail
network when possible;
. That the City Council reviewed the policy direction received from the Subcommittee
and the Commission Advisory Commission (CAC) and refer the matter to the
Planning Commission for a formal recommendation.
For the Commission, Mr. Hogan relayed that the land uses that are currently in the General
Plan uses are currently in the General Plan interim policy; and that what is being proposed
. is to allow 'h acre lots in what is currently a one-acre zoning district; that there are two
different situations being proposed, one would be for the 'h acre lots and the other project
area is for the one-acre density with the ability to go down to an 'h lots if the remaining is set
is some form of open space.

\
Mr. Hogan also relayed that for City-owned trails, proper maintenance would include:
regular inspections, repairs and resurfacing as needed, weed control, safety signage, and
stripping (if hard surfaced); that when the City trail facilities are constructed in easement
areas, City liability for the trail is still covered through the General Plan Liability Policy;
however, non-trail related liability will still remain the responsibility of the underlying property
owners.
Mr. Hogan further clarified that the proposed project is designed for large parcels; that it is a
voluntary policy; that it would not apply to a person who would desire to build a home on their
own lot; and that it would only apply if one were to have subdivisions of land.
At this time, the Public Hearing was opened.
Mr. Larry Markham, 41045 Enterprise Circle relayed that he is in favor of the project and noted
that the proposed project would cut the density in half for the vast majority of the area with the
exception of the parcels that are immediately adjacent to Ynez; and that it would allow flexibility
on how to site the parcels with regard to clustering.
At this time, the Public Hearing was closed.
MOTION: Commissioner Guerriero moved to approve staff's recommendation. Commissioner
Mathewson seconded the motion and voice vote reflected unanimous aDDroval.
It was the consensus of the Commission to combine Item NO.5 and 7.

Associate Planner Long presented a staff report (as per agenda material), noting the following:
. That the proposed project is for a minor CUP that includes the Public Necessity and
Findings for Target to sell beer and wine on site;
. That the separation of criteria in the Development Code requires 500 feet separation
from any schools, parks, hospitals, or religious institution;

R:\MinutesPC\042104

. That at this time, Target does not sell any alcohol or liquor; and that this is its first
proposal.
At this time, the PUblic Hearing was opened.
Ms. Beth Aboulafia, 260 Calitornia Street, representing Target, relayed the following:
. That Target started selling wine at its stores in California two years ago;
. That currently there are 40 stores in Northern California that are licenses and have been
selling wine;
. That due to its success, Target started expanding the program to its stores in Southern
California;
. That Target has not had any problems or violations with selling to minors at any of the
stores that have already been licensed in California;
. That the application is for a Type 20 off site beer and wine license;
. That there will be no consumption on the premises;
. That although its a beer and wine license, Target will only be selling wine;
. That all Target Stores have only been selling wine;
. That the sales of wine will only represent 3% of sales; but that it would be a complement
to the food and beverage products that Target currently has in its market section and will
be a convenience to Target's customers;
. That Target employees will be provided a training program relating to alcohol and
beverage sales that is specific to the laws and regulations to California;
. That there have been no objections from the few neighboring residents;
. That there have been no objections from the Police Department;
. That wine bottles will be located in the market section of Target;
At this time, the Public Hearing was closed.
Commissioner Guerriero is of the opinion that there is no need or convenience to approve a
Type 20 beer and wine license.
For Commissioner Olhasso, Ms. Ubnoske relayed that currently there are no plans for
redevelopment in the Target Center.
Commissioner Mathewson expressed concern with approving another license for beer and wine
sales in the area.
R:\MinutesPC\042104

For Commissioner Mathewson, Ms. Ubnoske relayed that when the state turned the jurisdiction
over to the Cities, they did not give any criteria; and that the City Attorney developed the criteria
for staff that is fairly consistent with other jurisdictions across the state.
Commissioner Chiniaeff expressed concern with denying the proposed item stating that the
census tract boundary is arbitrary and that if the City is going to allow establishments to sell
alcohol in commercial zones (which is established in the zoning ordinance), that the City should
be consistent and; therefore, either allow more establishments to sell alcohol, or that if the
Commission is of the opinion that there is over-concentration of T.ype 20 licenses, then the
zoning ordinance should be changed; and that it would be inequitable to allow some stores to
sell and others to not sell.
Chairman Telesio is of the opinion that staff should be reviewing the zoning ordinance; that he
finds it difficult to approve these findings of convenience for large box type stores and deny
sales to smaller outlets.
For the Commission, Ms. Ubnoske relayed that changing the zoning ordinance to not permit
alcohol sales in commercial zones would be a huge detriment to economic development.
Assistant City Attorney Curly relayed that the Commission has the ability on each discretionary
land use decision to look at the specific criteria.
MOTION: Commissioner Chiniaeff moved to approve the findings of Public Convenience.
Commissioner Olhasso seconded the motion voice vote reflected denial with the exception of
Commissioner Chiniaeff who voted ves.
MOTION: Commissioner Olhasso moved to denv PC Resolution No. 2002-019 due to the fact
that the nature of the proposed use is detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of
the community because the census tract is over-saturated with liquor licenses at this time.
Commissioner Guerriero seconded the motion and voice vote reflected denial of Minor
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) with the exception of Commissioner Chiniaeff who voted No.
Commissioner Chiniaeff requested that staff have the City Council evaluate their commercial
uses as related to alcohol permits.

Cingular Wireless, which also included a list of the properties that were investigated.
Mr; Mashesh Kolush, 150 Paularino Avenue, Radio Frequency Engineer for Cingular Wireless,

that Cingular Wireless is trying to provide coverage for the 300 tract homes to the south;
. That a generator would only be used if the power were to completely fail;
. That the noise that would be heard would be similar to a computer fan;

of homes that are within ~ mile radius of Cingular Wireless Cell Sites; and that it was

were raised by residents in regard to aesthetics, noise, and property values is not significant,
but that in regard to screening efforts, would request that the proposed project be lowered to 39
feet; and that this would allow the proposed monopalm to blend in better with the surrounding
palms.
