treatment. Commissioner Kersenboom also had suggestions.

6. ORALTWRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Elizabeth Connolly, 650 6th Street, expressed concern with the impact of truck traffic on 6th Street
from Learned Lumber, the maintenance of the grass strip adjacent to Learned, and employee
parking on 6th Street.
Commissioners Perrotti and Tucker inquired about the requirement to provide a "knuckle" at the
driveway to preclude turning west onto 6th Street.
Director Blumenfeld responded to questions and explained that a proposal for a knuckle was
included with the original 24-unit condominium project and zone change which was approved by
Commission in 1997 but denied by City Council. Subsequently, an 8-unit condominium project
was approved by Commission with a reduction of the driveway width, and a knuckle was not
included in the design. He further explained that in January, Learned Lumber submitted a plan with
minor revisions to the project, relocating some of the lumber stacks and parking. He stated that
staff recommended that Learned increase the amount of parking along Pacific Coast Highway to
compensate for the relocation of parking and increase landscaping to compensate for a new
driveway cut. He said that recently, a new plan had been submitted asking relief from the
requirement of additional landscaping and parking. At that point, staff suggested that the matter be
referred to the Planning Commission as a CUP amendment, since the change could not be
considered a minor modification.
Director Blumenfeld further said that Mr. Learned has indicated that as the building improvements
are completed, the site improvements will also be completed.
Commissioner Tucker questioned if a "left turn only" sign is posted on 6th Street. Director
Blumenfeld indicated none of the required customer, employee, and direction signing had been
installed to date.
In response to Commissioner Pizer, Director Blumenfeld stated that the employee parking is on the
southerly side.
2 P.C. Minutes 08-15-00
Its response to Chairman Perrotti, Director Blumenfeld indicated that he will check into who is
maintaining the planters along 6`h Street.
Robert Schmity expressed concern with Beach Cities Christian Fellowship Church not complying
with their CUP regarding their parking plan.
Director Blumenfeld explained that the parking area was to be made available for public parking for
the Community Center and for beachgoers. He said that the church presented a schedule which was
rejected by staff, as it would not fulfill the City's needs. Staff is currently pursuing this matter with
the church.
In response to Commissioner Pizer, Director Blumenfeld explained that the church needs the
parking available on Sundays and are looking for a way to control the parking and also make it
available publically.

FROM DULY 18, 2000 MEETING).
Staff Recommended Action: To approve said request.
Director Blumenfeld reported that this item was continued to allow the applicant time to resubmit
drawings daze to the amount of plan corrections required for the project. He noted that there were
problems with respect to the turning radius, the driveway, accommodation of guest parking and the
replacement of curb parking adjacent to the front of the unit. He explained that the plans have been
revised, meets all the zoning requirements and the lot coverage is below the maximum 65%. He
said that the Commission was concerned with not having adequate landscaping along the frontage
of the property. He also pointed out that the front yard planters are too small to install a 36" box
tree. He said staff suggests the use of Grass-crete on the driveways in the front yard to give the
impression of having a lawn along the street frontage of the project.
Chairman Perrotti opened the public hearing.
Cheryl Vargo, representing the applicant, pointed out that the stairs start back quite a distance from
the property line with pavers inserted with surrounding grass, and a tree could be planted close to
the property line. As an alternative, a street tree could be planted at the location between the two
driveway ramps. Also, a box tree could be planted in the side yard.
In response to Commissioner Hoffman, Ms. Vargo responded that aesthetically, the front door and
entry should appear in the front of the building rather than the side of a building.
Commissioner Kersenboom expressed concern with pedestrian access to the back unit.
P.C. Minutes 08-15-00
Commissioner Tucker expressed concern with a line of site problem with a tree in the sidewalk
area, which would need to be addressed by Public Works.
Chairman Perrotti closed the public hearing.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Director Blumenfeld informed that the lot size is 3,960 square
feet. He also informed that the hand rail,height requirements are 36" for residential and 42" for
commercial.
Commissioner Tucker further expressed concern with lack of open space on the decks adjacent to
the living areas. He also would like to see some band treatment on the east elevation.
Director Blumenfeld clarified that the policy requires 100 square feet of open space off the living
area.
In response to Commissioner Pizer, Director Blumenfeld confirmed that the driveway slope does
not exceed 12.5%.
Commissioner Hoffman expressed concern with the lack of landscaping in the front.
Commissioner Kersenboom agreed.
Chairman Perrotti agreed with staff s suggestion of the Grass-crete. He also agreed with adding
some banding between the two levels on the east elevation.
In response to Commissioner Kersenboom, Director Blumenfeld expressed concern with pedestrian
access being off the driveway.
Commissioner Hoffman believed that stepping stones would become inconvenient for pedestrians.
Director Blumenfeld pointed out that the footprint of the building is at 64.8% lot coverage and the
building could be reduced slightly to accommodate more landscaping.
Ms. Vargo suggested using jacaranda trees which have a small trunk and get very tall with color,
and could be put at the entry to the front unit and also by the side access to the other two units.
Commissioner Tucker believed that the front unit could be made smaller.

SUITES.
Staff Recommended Action: To approve said request.
Director Blumenfeld summarized the staff report and reviewed the history of the project. He stated
that subsequently, the easterly property was approved for development of a condominium project,
and the owner has requested that the hotel amend their permit to reduce the wall height.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Director Blumenfeld stated that the part of the wall that is
protecting a cut does not contribute to the height of a wall, and a portion of the wall protects a cut
for the upper property.
In response to Commissioner Hoffman, Director Blumenfeld said that the existing adjacent property
owner would prefer the height of the wall lowered.
Chairman Perrotti opened the public hearing.
Elizabeth Srour, 1001 6ch Street, Manhattan Beach, stated she is representing the applicant and
requested flexibility of the height of the wall. She noted that Mr. Lyle also would prefer a height
reduction. She explained that the goal would be to allow the construction of a wall that serves the
purpose of protecting the individual properties but would not create the canyon effect for the
condominium property.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Ms. Srour stated that the wall would be a decorative block
wall.
5 P.C. Minutes 08-15-00
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Director Blumenfeld explained that a decorative wall is a
painted wall, a split block wall , sandblasted, striated, or any other decorative material applied to the
wall.
In response to Commissioner Kersenboom, Ms. Srour explained that the hotel property would be
responsible for the construction of the wall.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Director Blumenfeld said that the applicant has a sketch
which describes the finished grade on the easterly side and the finished grade on the westerly side,
which are different from each other.
Ms. Srour commented that all construction will be subject to City inspection and approval through
the plan check process.
Chairman Perrotti closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Tucker expressed concern with noise from the hotel parking area transmitting over to
the other side, and he is not in favor of lowering the height of the wall. 'He further questioned the
material used on the wall.
Commissioner Kersenboom pointed out that the condominiums will be higher, regardless that an
extra 2 feet of wall height will be lost.
Chairman Perrotti noted that both property owners are knowledgeable and experienced, and he
trusts the developer's decision regarding the wall height.
Director Blumenfeld pointed out that the new lot will be graded lower.
Commissioner Hoffman stated that there will be quite a bit of landscaping which should help
mitigate noise concerns.

A TWO -UNIT CONDOMINIUM AT 936 MONTEREY BOULEVARD.
Staff Recommended Action: To approve said request.
6 P.C. Minutes 08-15-00
City Planner Schubach summarized the staff report and stated that Commission needs to determine
if below grade parking is lot coverage. Further, he said that the open space at the primary living
areas have been reduced to 63 square feet due to the spiral staircases on the balconies. He indicated
that zoning and landscaping is in compliance.
In response to Chairman Perrotti, City Planner Schubach indicated that this project is the same
project approved on October 20, 1998.
Commissioner Tucker would like to see the deck usage increased. He further commented that the
garage could be pushed back another 2 feet to allow for a 25-foot turning radius.
Director Blumenfeld clarified that shoring prevents the project from running all the way back to the
lot.
Chairman Perrotti opened the public hearing.
Al Loera, Loera Designs, stated he is representing Mr. Patrick Kealy. He explained that the garage
in the rear will be taken to the property line. He indicated that the garage in the front cannot be
pushed forward any further due to having to maintain a 5-foot setback. He also noted that the
garage doors have been widened which allows for further maneuvering.
City Planner Schubach explained that as the width of the garage gets wider, the length of the
turnaround area behind it is allowed to get shorter.
In response to Chairman Perrotti, Mr. Loera explained that both units have roof decks. He also
pointed out that the spiral staircases are right off the dining area or family gathering area.
Commissioner Tucker suggested putting the spiral staircase over the exit court, making the deck
more usable.
In response to Commissioner Pizer, Director Blumenfeld indicated that by increasing the existing
area where the spiral stairs are located would cause the building to be redesigned.
Chairman Perrotti closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Kersenboom commented that the parking is fine, but he believed that the decks
should be 100 square feet.
Commissioner Hoffman agreed and suggested adding another small deck in another location.
Commissioner Pizer agreed that there should be 100 square feet off the living area.
Commissioner Tucker further agreed and suggested reconfiguring the top floor. He also believed
that the Commission should enforce the open space requirements rather than bringing it to the City
Council.

Chairman Perrotti announced that a letter was received from Ludovica Luiks opposing the project.
Chairman Perrotti also would like to see the 100 square feet off the living area. He agreed that an

10. CUP 92-34 — REVOCATION OR MODIFICATION OF A MASTER CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT FOR AUTO REPAIR, AUTO BODY AND PAINT BUSINESSES AT
501— 555 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY.
Staff Recommended Action: To continue to the September 19, 2000 meeting.
Director Blumenfeld summarized the staff report and reviewed the history of the business. He
reviewed the three CUP violations which are still outstanding. He said that the residents have
submitted a petition indicating their concerns. He stated that staff is recommending that the
Commission consider the proposed revocation or modification to the CUP and continue this item to
the next meeting in order to receive testimony from the public and owner. He further reviewed the
five additional Conditions which staff recommends adding to the current CUP.
In response to Commissioner Pizer, Director Blumenfeld indicated that the owner has cleaned up
portions of the lot, and there have been fewer cars parking on the streets. He also indicated that by
the next meeting, staff will inspect the odor elimination/filtration system and confirmation will be
made for approval by the Fire Department.
In response to Commissioner Hoffman, Director Blumenfeld explained that the owner will be
notified annually to remit the fee to publically notice the item and be considered. Staff would keep
records of monitoring and of the unlicensed and unregistered vehicles.
Chairman Perrotti pointed out that the parking lot storage area is quite large and the owner has not
been making proper use of it.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Director Blumenfeld said that an AQMD permit has been
submitted for the spray booth. He also believed that there is not a clarifier on site to separate the oil
and gas.
P.C. Minutes 08-15-00
Commissioner Tucker further expressed concern with the storage yard being below grade and not
having a sump pump or clarifier.
Director Blumenfeld indicated that the elimination of auto storage and wrecking will solve some of
the issues.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Director Blumenfeld explained that a notice was published
and public mailings were provided. He said that this project was City initiated; however staff will
require that the applicant post the orange sign for the following hearing.
Chairman Perrotti opened the public hearing.
Elizabeth Connolly, 650 61h Street, noted that she signed the submitted petition and expressed
concern with parking from the businesses on 61h Street.
In response to Chairman Perrotti, Ms. Connolly indicated that through observation of the parking, it
was determined who was parking from the businesses on 6th Street.
Scott Aldin, 646 6th Street, stated he has been a resident on 61h Street for 14 years, and he reviewed
the impacts from the businesses in the past. He expressed that the property at the top of the street
will always be a commercial zone and believed that this should be blocked off which creates a
buffer zone. He also believed that the front lot of the auto repair center should be for cars that are
ready to be delivered to customers and for customer parking. He said that the rear yard should be
for storage of cars being worked on and for employee parking. He concluded that parking from the
employees and customers on the street is the main complaint from the residents.
Chairman Perrotti closed the public hearing.
Chairman Perrotti believed that the business owner should comply with the conditions of the CUP
that are in effect, and violations should be enforced and pursued. He suggested designating a
parking area in the storage lot with "employee parking only" signs. He also said it is not the intent
of the Commission to put an owner out of business. He mentioned that he was not happy with the
owner's input at the last meeting.
Commissioner Tucker agreed that CUPs should be fulfilled. He expressed concern with
environmental issues from the business.
In response to Commissioner Pizer, Director Blumenfeld explained that added Condition #2
recommended by staff is not in the current CUP.
Commissioner Hoffman believed that all of the issues involved could be resolved by the
enforcement of the existing CUP.
Commissioner Kersenboom questioned who the cars belonged to that were in the back parking lot,
and he also questioned if the employees would be using this lot.

12. NR 00-7 — ROOF DECK ADDITION TO A NONCONFORMING BUILDING

MANHATTAN AVENUE.
Staff Recommended Action: To approve said request.
City Planner Schubach summarized the staff report and stated that the applicant is proposing to add
399 square feet of deck on the roof of the existing building. He pointed out that even though the
proposed deck addition is much less than 50% of the existing structure value, when combined with
a previous addition built in 1996, the deck addition causes the overall increase in valuation to rise
from 46.4% to 52.4%.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, City Planner Schubach indicated that records are kept on the
additions.
Commissioner Hoffman expressed concern with view impacts and aesthetics regarding the storage
unit being added.
Chairman Perrotti opened the public hearing.
George Shweiri, owner and resident of the property, stated he is available for questions.
In response to Commissioner Hoffman, Mr. Shweiri indicated that the purpose of the shed is for
storage of the patio furniture to avoid blowing over to the neighbors' residences.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Mr. Shweiri explained that the storage shed will be no higher
than 4 foot 6 inches. He also said that there will be no spa on the deck.
Chairman Perrotti closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Tucker pointed out that spas are being installed on rooftop decks and are not
calculated for the load and also create problems with the height of the hand railings.
Director.Blumenfeld explained that it would be difficult to enforce compliance to no spas on
rooftop decks.
MOTION by Commissioner Hoffman, seconded by Commissioner Tucker to APPROVE P.C.
Resolution 00-, approving a roof deck addition for an existing single family residence with a
nonconforming front yard setback, at 304 Manhattan Avenue, legally described as the West 50 feet

13. STAFF ITEMS
a. Interpretation of minor modification at 1030 81h Place.
Director Blumenfeld summarized the staff report and stated the proposal is to exchange 802-square
foot living area and 450-square foot deck area expansion to a 953-square foot living area and 393-
square foot deck area expansion. This change does not affect the footprint of the building but does
affect the valuation, which will rise from 61.7% to 73.5%.
The Planning Commission APPROVED the change by Minute Order as a minor modification.
b. Interpretation of front setback on through lot 2150 Loma Drive.
City Planner Schubach noted that supplemental information has been received from Mr. Tom
Turney and staff's response. He indicated that the property has recently been developed as a new
dwelling unit which was reviewed and approved with the front on 20 Street with a setback of 10
feet and the rear on Loma Drive with a setback of 1 foot. ' He indicated that the City Zoning
Ordinance allows one setback on a through lot, which is the side the majority of the dwelling unit
faces. He also pointed out that Loma Drive right-of-way starting on the north side of the subject
property is only 20 feet wide and defined as an alley, and Loma Drive to the south of the property is
developed to a 20-foot width making it by size qualifying as an alley, not as a street. If the
remaining unused portion of the Loma Drive is vacated, Loma Drive could not qualify as a street,
causing the subject property by definition to no longer be a through lot.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Director Blumenfeld stated that the property is under
construction with a pool included on the plans.
In response to Commissioner Kersenboom, Director Blumenfeld explained that the 6-foot fence was
not to be relocated in the original submittal. He explained that the property owner now prefers to
construct a 6-loot fence in the 10-foot setback on 241h Street, and staff advised that the fence would
be over -height because it is located in the front yard.
In response to Commissioner Tucker, Director Blumenfeld indicated that an over -height fence in
the front yard would need to be approved as a Variance.
The Planning Commission CONFIRMED by Minute Order that the front setback is on 24th Street
and is a through lot.
C. Memorandum regarding City Council/Planning Commission workshop.
12 P.C. Minutes 08-15-00

process of obtaining candidates for the Public Works Commission.
In response to Chairman Perrotti, Director Blumenfeld noted that the new Council Chambers will be
air-conditioned.
In response to'Conu-nissioner Tucker, Director Blumenfeld stated that the property at 1850
Manhattan Avenue is being reviewed by staff.
Director Blumenfeld suggested that the issue of revisions to nonconforming remodels could be
agendized along with the review of the Nonconformance Ordinance. He noted that the City
Attorney has indicated that this Ordinance has many ambiguities and is difficult to implement.
In response to Chairman Perrotti, Director Blumenfeld said that he will review the changes
submitted to the Zoning Ordinance with the City Attorney.
