 I'd like to call this meeting to order at 1056 a.m. This meeting of the zoning administrator. As a result of hate speech from online commenters during recent local public meetings, the city council is limiting public comments. At all virtual public meetings to in person. Or written comments received prior to the meeting. So the second item on the agenda is public comment. We are now taking public comments on item to non agenda matters. This is the time when any person may address matter matters, not list on this agenda. But are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the zoning administrator. If you are attending in person and wish to make a comment, please raise your hand. I'm not sitting any comments. I will close the public comment period. Moving on to item three zoning administrator business. The zoning administrator is appointed by the planning and economic development director and has the responsibility and authority to conduct public meetings and hearings. And to act on applications for minor or reduced review authority projects or entitlements. The determination or decision by the zoning administrator may be appealed to the designer view board cultural heritage board planning commission or city council as applicable to the decision. All actions taken by the zoning administrator may be appealed within 10 calendar days. If the final day of the appeal period falls on a non business day, the appeal period will be extended to the next business day. The zoning administrator appears to be an older script that I gave you and we need to do the approval of minutes. Okay. So, I will. Oops. What items that's three. I think three is on 2.1 of the agenda. Oh, item going back to item two review of the September 7th 2023 minutes. I will be approving those minutes. And then back to item four point. Item five is our scheduled items. So we are now moving into our first scheduled item, which is a public meeting for J. M. and I see LLC conditional use permit. The project presenter is. Thank you zoning administrator. Okay. My name is Suzanne Hartman and I am presenting the minor commission lease permit application. The project planner is Monday. The project address is 3075 talk we lane. And this is a for a approval of a minor conditional lease permit for approximately 3000 square foot cannabis cultivation nursery within an existing industrial building. This is an aerial view of the parcel and it is surrounded by various uses, including low density residential neighborhood. And then also some light industrial and general commercial buildings may we're in the site. The zoning district is light industrial. And the general plan land use designation and site is general industry. The light industrial zoning district is applied to areas appropriate for some light industrial uses, as well as commercial service uses and activities that may be incompatible with residential retailer office uses. And it may also be accommodated as part of a workload projects. This is the site plan. There won't be any exterior changes proposed. As all of the work, it will take place inside the industrial building, and the parking spaces on the site are sufficient for the proposed use and no additional spaces will be needed. And additionally, the adjacent unit has already received the approval for similar kinds of uses. This is the post floor plan. And these are some photos of the building exterior. We're seeing that. These are the general operating requirements. The applicant submitted an odor mitigation plan which has been certified by licensed engineer. All mitigation controls are effective in reducing odors from all sources. Additionally, the project is a security plan in place to prevent active aggression cannabis, as well as to discourage the lawyer in crime. The project is required to obtain a building or obtain building fire permits for the building and fire code requirements for campus related occupancies. The project has been reviewed in compliance with the California environmental quality act and qualifies for two categorical exemptions under sequel guidelines section 15301 and 15303. In that the proposed use will be within an existing facility with the installation of small new equipment and the conversion of a small structure for one use to another involving involving negligible expansion of the existing use. Additionally, the site is owned for such and for such use and does not involve significant amounts of hazardous substances and all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. So the conclusion. The planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor conditional lease permit for the property located at 3075 coffee line sweep. Thank you. Great. Is the applicant in attendance and do they wish to make any presentation or comments. Yes, I'm here. No comment. Thank you. If you don't have any questions at this time at the. At this time, I'd like to open the public hearing for this project. If you're attending in the meeting in person wish to make a comment, please raise your hand. Sony administrator or no hands raised. Great. Thank you. Yeah, I've reviewed the narrative and the description and this in the floor plan for consistency with the zoning code and general plan policies. I think this is the pretty sensible use for an industrial building of this nature. I appreciate the planers presentation and the analysis that went into the creation of the resolution. The, I'd like to also note that in addition to the measures included in the odor control plan. The impact of that would result in no detectable orders from the outdoor space. And then there's no number from, from the outdoors and the, in the area of the site. So, with that, I think that the operation of the use is compatible with the surrounding area and would not result in any. Negative impacts environmentally, or any other impacts of that nature. So I will be approving the project. Thank you. Second, scheduled item also a public meeting dish wireless co-location of equipment presenting planter is Christian handle area. Good morning, the administrator McClain before you today is the before you today is the co-location of an expansion of the cell tower at highway 12, 4900 highway 12. The public file numbers to your 23.001, and this is the minor designer of you for public planner was christened. And I'll do something for her today. The minor designer you before you today is for the co-location of three new antennas and six remote radio units on an existing monoplyant power facility, resulting in a total height increase of 10 feet. There is also a 35 square foot expansion of the existing funds equipment enclosures with two new gates and installation of new concrete pad and ice bridge, which I will show Also, letting you know that the increased high in excavation of the site is exempt from the permission use permit process. Under section 649 middle class talk to me from job creation back and sec guidelines 20 that's 1532 here is showing you the general plan and zoning for the Area. And then you can see the product site indicated with these are very you can see the proposed and existing elevation sorry photo of the monoplyant and can see the increase of the height. Here is another photo simulation of the site. Here is the site plan that is going on. Here you can see in the middle is where the finance and can see some of the extension of the site. On this map, sorry, in this plan. And here's some of the indicators of the location. And then here's in a large site plan, as I told you earlier, there's going to be a proposed ice bridge. This is just for the Staff to be able to walk across and do any type of change if they need to to the pine for any updates they need to do throughout its time there. Here are the elevations for existing and proposed you can see the height increase as well and some of the items that are being added to the bottom. This project is kind of going to exempt on the secret island section 15301 And this does not have any substantial change of physical dimension of the existing tower or ground station resulting in a legible expansion of the existing use I did want to mention that we actually did receive a public comment from the nearby veterinary practice. They were concerned about the location of additional Equipment being added at this location as they run a cell phone free business and they are particularly Sensitive to EMF And they were hoping to have these placed elsewhere. I also wanted to mention that this project is also outside of the SEC shop clock guidelines and staff was working with the applicant about various recent metals to make sure it could still come to the building administrator and they agree to come to this meeting. After the shop clock has ended and is recommended by the planning and economic development department but the zoning administrator for my own design of the permit to allow the co-location additions of various equipment and expansion of the funding existing public communication facility located at 4900 highway 12 Great. Thank you. Is the applicant present and do they wish to make any comments. The applicant is on zoom. I don't think we need to make any but they might raise their hand. If you're if you're part of the applicant team and you would like to have a hand raised. Okay. Go ahead. Unmute yourself please. And you're nice. Hi, this is Sarah Nice. I'm the applicant. Sorry, I have my phone on but I couldn't figure out how to raise my hand on there. So I'm trying to talk on zoom. Um, I do not have a presentation though. Just wanted to let you know. Thank you. Um, okay. At this point, I'd like to open the public hearing for this project. Yeah. If you're in person would like to make a comment, please raise your hand. Seeing no head raised. There are no comments. Okay, I will close public comment. Um, yeah, so these are always interesting because there's a lot of state and federal requirements that are applicable to these types of projects and I completely understand the sentiment of the nearby business operator, especially if you're sensitive to these types of operations. However, the site does a comp the regulations applicable to the site do accommodate this type of project. And there is already existing poll and I appreciate when telecommunications corporations co locate their equipment to avoid additional large model polls throughout our city. And I also appreciate that Um, we all use technology and are relying on technology, both for social and professional reasons, but also for emergency reasons. So this type of expansion while it may be Not as attractive to look at or to experience when nearby or some folks it is definitely necessary for the reasonable Operation of our city. So I did actually have a question. What is what is the ice bridge. I've never heard of that phrase or term before. Yeah. Um, let me see if I can open this up again. Or if Sarah would like to speak again, but Let me see if I can read this back up. So if you can see on the elevations, there's this little walk. It's basically a walkway. It allows the person to access the monopine and also go across to the infrastructure on the bottom. So it's like an elevated catwalk essentially. Okay. All right. That's an interesting way to describe that. I appreciate that clarification. Um, also recognize that while photo simulations can often show a best case scenario from what I could see in this presentation, it does appear that the addition is going to be screened in a way that looks Remotely similar to the nearby tree canopy. So I appreciate the attention to that on the applicant side as well. So with that, I believe I support the findings made in the resolution and we'll approve the project. As with the last decision and this decision. These are subject to an appeal period like I just I discussed at the beginning of the meeting. 10 days, which I believe would be next next Monday. October 16 October 16. Thank you. Thank you. By the end of business day. All right, so moving on to our third scheduled item, which is presented by planner be slow and is a public meeting for Burger King exterior modifications designer be request. We have a staff report please. So. Okay. Good morning zoning administrator McKay. My name is Nora, and this is a proposal for exterior modifications to the burger king at 741 stony point road. And the proposal is to do an exterior remodel a complete facade update and add a double lane drive, double drive through entry lane, as opposed to the current single lane that exists there now. Here is a. Here's the aerial view of the site. It is off of stony point road. And again, here's an neighborhood context map. Close to Sebastian full road and. Highway 12. The general plan land use designation for the site is retail and business services. And it is in a plan development zoning district. This is the previous facade that existed. There. The reason for the update is due to fire damage. Much of the building was damaged in a fire. And this is what would what is being proposed down. There is another rendering. And this is the update to the site plan that the double drive through lane you can see below previously there was a single lane. And now they are proposing to extend the drive through. This does take away some of the parking spots that existed here. Below. But there is sufficient parking. Within within the site and there is a shared parking lot that they share with their neighboring business as well. Staff is able to make all of the required findings for design review. The updates to the drive through lane, improved traffic circulation at the site. And the design is. Compatible with neighboring businesses as well. The project is categorically exempt from the California California environmental quality act as it involves minor modifications to an existing structure. And the updates would not increase the intensity of the use. There are no unresolved issues as a result of staff review and no public comment has been received by staff. It is recommended by the planning and economic development department that the zoning administrator approve a minor design review to allow exterior modifications for the Burger King at 741 Stoney Point Road. Any questions or comments? This is my contact information. And that concludes my presentation. Great. Thanks. Can you. Thank you. Is the applicant present and do they wish to make any comments? All right, Brandy, you're able to unmute and go ahead and speak. Hi, my name is Brandy. I'm the architect. I'm representing sunny guy. He's the franchisee and owner of this project. We don't have any comments on the conditions. But if there's any questions, I'm here to answer them. Thank you, Brandy. Appreciate it. At this point, I'd like to open the public comment period for this item. If anybody attending in person would like to make a comment, please raise your hand. Great. Thank you. Overall, this is looks like a great project. I appreciate the modernization of the architecture from the previous to the proposed. Today, this is probably one of the most attractive Burger Kings I've ever seen in my life. So one of those elevations was kind of giving me like outdoor, like recreation. Retail shop vibes like REI. And I, you know, it's a big bummer that there was a fire that affected the building, but I'm glad that this was able to be kind of an opportunity for some, some modernization of the architecture and it's consistent with what I see us moving for moving forward with as a city in terms of architecture. I don't think I have any questions about the resolution. I appreciate the applicant representative being present and indicating that they approve with these conditions as well. I'd also like to note that while there's a good amount of signage on what we just saw in the presentation. The approval of this design review does not include approval of signage and that signs would be subject to our sign ordinance and the zoning code and require separate planning and building permits. With that, I don't think I. Oh, I'll close public comment as well. With that, I don't believe I have any questions and I approve this project. The fourth item. A public meeting for window modifications landmark alteration request. This law to present as well. Thank you zoning administrator McCain. The proposal before you is for exterior modifications to the McNulty residence at 642 Oak Street. The proposal is to remove some side yard windows and fill the space with siding to match as well as replace a window with French doors and replace a back door with a window. Additionally, there will be replacement of some more vinyl windows with fiberglass windows and all of the trim to go in will match the original. Here's aerial view of the site, as well as a neighborhood context map it is located in the Burbank Luther Burbank Gardens preservation district. The general plan land use designation is low density residential, and it is in a plan development district, as well as the historic combining district. So here is the proposed floor plan. The reason for the two windows on the west elevation over here to be removed is due to some interior remodels going on over here. So these are the two windows that will be removed and filled with siding. This is the back door that will be removed and replaced with a single hung window. This single hung window will be replaced to look the same, but it will be a fiberglass window. There is a window right here that will be replaced by a French door. And then these three windows as well will be replaced to look similar to the current vinyl windows, they will be replaced with fiberglass. You can see the changes proposed for the east elevation here. Here's the French door going in. And these three windows will be replaced with fiberglass. Here in the back, the door here will be replaced with a single hung window and the rest will be filled with siding. And the west elevation over here, you can see the two windows going away and being filled with siding staff is able to make all the, all the required findings for a landmark alteration. The exterior changes are consistent with the original architecture and the proposal includes the preservation of original materials. The project also meets all of the standards for rehabilitation as laid out by the secretary of the interior standards for historic preservation. As mentioned before, the trim any windows that currently have original trim that will be preserved and any windows that have trim that is different from the original. The trim will be replaced to match the original. This project is categorically exempt from the California environmental quality act as it involves minor modifications to an existing structure. There are no unresolved issues as a result of staff review. At the time of creating this presentation, no public comment have been received, but staff has received written correspondence in support of the project from a neighbor. It is recommended by the planning and economic development department that the zoning administrator approve a minor landmark alteration to allow exterior modifications at 642 Oak Street. And for any questions or comments. This is my contact information. That concludes my presentation. Thank you. Thank you. Is the applicant present and do they wish to make any comments? We are present but we have no comment. Cool. Thanks for being here. At this point, then I will open the public comment for this project. Does anybody in attending in person have any public comments? If so, please raise your hand. I will close public comment. Yeah, so I did have one question on the elevation where the windows are being removed and then siding is being replaced there. Is that on the elevation it looked like, or just like a black box. Is that a pop out? No, it's just kind of a factor of the program that we used to create it, but it would be kind of feather the end so that it would. It's not a pop out. It's just being replaced in the same plan. Okay. All the other siding. So just be like smooth. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, and I think that sometimes vinyl material isn't like the favorite for historic preservation districts but the fact that that's not on a publicly facing elevation I think kind of works for this project. I appreciate the care that goes into maintaining the historic nature of properties and historic preservation districts. And I appreciate collaboration between city staff and applicant representatives and property owners to navigate this process because it's an important process and I think we should. We should remember that. I think that analysis for compliance with the standards outlined by the secretary or the department of the interior. And I also appreciate the construction hours being limited to eight from eight to six. Because this is a residential area and it's important to be a good neighbor when you're doing construction projects. I think I have any further comments or questions and I approve the project. That moves on that moves us to item seven adjournment and I adjourn the meeting. Thank you everybody. Thank you.
