discuss the new information contained in the staff report and determine whether the gas
station and ancillary uses are appropriate for the proposed site. If the use is determined
appropriate, staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit, architectural L’

control and zoning exception applications based on the findings and subject to the
conditions in the resolution.
Commissioner Questions and Comments
Commissioner Cohen referred to Bullet 3 in the November 2, 2004 Caltrans letter
regarding the feasibility of eliminating the left turn movement from eastbound Ortega to
northbound Avenida Los Cerritos. Mr. Lawrence said it is not an issue to be resolved
because Caltrans is concurring with what the City staff has determined would be
necessary.
Public Hearing
Phillip Schwartze, representing M&M Petroleum, 31682 El Camino Real, said that the
applicant has read and agrees with the staff recommendations including reducing or
eliminating the sidewalk, reducing the number of parking spaces by two spaces along
the western boundary, returning to the Planning Commission with the sign program,
utility under-grounding, and bonding for the additional right turn lane that may be
required at some point in time.
Richard Finkel, Bundy-Finkel Architects, 20331 lrvine Avenue, Suite 7, Santa Ana
Heights, presented slides of an Arc0 station project in Rancho Santa Margarita, many
elements of which would be incorporated into the proposed project.
L Chairman Neely asked if the easements for Avenida Los Cerritos are co-terminus or
have different footprints. Mr. Schwartze said that there are different footprints and
different owners of the various easements.
Ed Thurston, owner of 76 Station across the street, spoke in opposition to the project
due to concerns regarding freeway signage, additional traffic, and scope of the project
being too large for the site or location.
Commissioner Questions and Comments
Chairman Neely asked whether or not each independent use would have its own sign.
Ms. Bogh said Condition 1.10 requires that prior to issuance of a building permit the
applicant submits a sign program as a one-tenant building to the Planning Commission
for review and approval. Mr. Sandoval said that the sign program is not yet before the
Planning Commission. Ms. Bogh read suggested wording about the sign program
reflecting a single-tenant user.
Commissioner Ratcliffe asked if emergency access easements could be a possible spot
for additional parking. Ms. Bogh said parking would not be allowed in the emergency
access easement because the Fire Department needs access along that easement way
at all times.
Commissioner Cohen asked staff if lighting would be referred to the DRC. Ms. Bogh
said that one of the Conditions requires photometric lighting plans to be submitted, and
that under-canopy lighting is not to exceed 50 foot candles under the canopy or I foot
candle at the property line.
L
PC Meeting 4 December 14,2004
Commissioner Cohen said he can’t support the project in its current configuration.
Commissioner Drey said the large site would easily accommodate the proposed uses. L
Chairman Neely spoke in favor of Condition 1 .I 1 regarding Design Review Committee
(DRC) follow up and suggested that the DRC be given greater flexibility to reduce
parking and increase landscaping along the freeway. Ms. Bogh advised the Planning
Commission to set a minimal number of parking spaces, since the DRC does not have
the authority to grant a parking deviation or approve a shared parking plan. Mr.
Schwartze said the applicant could live with 17 parking spaces.
Ms. Bogh suggested wording regarding the limit of sale of alcohol. Mr. Schwartze said
the applicant would agree that no more than seven and a half (7.5) percent of the gross
floor area would be used for display and storage of alcoholic beverages.
Motion
Commissioner Drey moved, seconded by Commissioner Ratcliffe, to approve the
Resolution No. 04-j 2-1 4-1 approving a Conditional Use Permit, Architectural Control
Application, and Zoning Exception for a gas station, mini-mart with off-site alcohol sales,
food service and car wash on the north side of Ortega Highway between 1-5 and
Avenida Los Cerritos (APN 650-1 05-1 80) subject to staff’s recommended conditions
with the following revisions:
Add the following language to Condition 1 .I 1 : “The number of parking spaces
may be reduced to no less than 17 in order to provide additional landscaping on
the site; location and configuration of parking and landscaping shall be reviewed
and approved by the DRC”;
0 Condition D, add paragraph 6 to state: “Sale of alcoholic beverages shall be
limited to beer and wine only, as an accessory use to the primary convenience
store use; no more than seven and a half (7.5) percent of the gross floor area of
the retail use may be used for display and storage of alcoholic beverages.”
Add the following language to Condition 1 .I 0: “The Sign Program shall reflect
that the tenant of the site has been determined to be a single-tenant user, for
purposes of determining the number and location of permitted signs.”

2. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 16146, BELLADONNA ESTATES; A REQUEST FOR
APPROVAL TO SUBDIVIDE A 16.14 ACRE PARCEL INTO 31 LOTS RANGING IN
SIZE FROM APPROXIMATELY 13,600 TO 32,000 SQUARE FEET. THE PROJECT IS
LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF DEL OBISPO STREET, NORTH OF PASEO DE
LA PAZ AND ABOUT 1,300 FEET SOUTH OF CALLE ASPERO; APN #121-181-08
Written Com mu nications
Staff report dated December 14,2004
Mr. Tom Merrell and Mr. John Douglas of Civic Solutions, contract planners for the City,
presented the staff report as a request for approval to subdivide a 16.14 acre parcel into
31 lots ranging in size from approximately 13,600 to 32,000 square feet, located on the
west side of Del Obispo Street, north of Paseo de La Paz and about 1,300 feet south of
Calle Aspero.
Mr. Merrell said that the Planning Commission is a recommending body and the City
Council has the final approving authority. If the recommended conditions are adopted,
the project would come back to the Planning Commission and DRC for further review.
\v Staff and the DRC are recommending that the grading be modified to provide for more
natural contouring and treatment for the natural drainage course that extends along the
northerly side of the property. A retaining wall proposed along the property boundary
line would have the effect of grading into portions or segments of the natural drainage
course that are currently on the Scalzo property.
The three design alternatives as outlined in Condition 17 are as follows:
1) Allow the applicant to stay completely out of the natural channel.
2) Reconstruct a natural, flat, soft-bottom channel through the area but to realign
3) Constructing a soft-bottom channel with a pipe under the natural-looking
it as proposed to be aligned along the existing easement.
channel that would carry the high flows.
Condition 17 allows the applicant to select one of the three designs. Before the map
could record, the applicant would have to prepare a design and submit it for review to
the City Engineer, Planning Department, and Resource Agencies. Building permits
would not be issued prior to completion of the drainage course for any of the custom
homes that are proposed on this lot.
The applicant intends to go to City Council concurrent with this item with a request for
the City to share in the cost of the drainage improvement.
L Staff has met with the applicant, their representative and consultants numerous times
over the past year to go over conditions and the process. The applicant is in general

concurrence with staff recommendations and conditions, with notable exceptions to
several items including Condition 17, the treatment of the natural drainage course.
There have been numerous communications with the neighbors as well as meetings
with the Sun Ranch residents.
Staff recommends approval of the map as presented.
Commissioner Questions and Comments
Commissioner Cohen asked if the wetlands are a result of the Cook Reservoir or the
San Juan Creek Watershed. Mr. Douglas referred to the jurisdictional delineation study
by Jones & Stokes, a biological consultant, and said that prior to the early 1970’s that
drainage channel showed up as a natural drainage in the topographical maps.
Public Hearing
Joe Ferrentino, 895 Dove, Newport Beach, the applicant’s attorney representing the
Scalzo Family Trust, presented a DVD simulation of views of the project and a
PowerPoint presentation describing requested changes to the conditions of approval
#17, #IO, and #24.
Commissioner Cohen asked if there is any reason why the site improvement agreement
would not come before the Planning Commission. Ms. Bogh said it is a financing
decision so it would go to the City Council, not to the Planning Commission. Mr.
Sandoval said it is similar to the Public Works projects that the City normally handles. u
Commissioner Drey asked for clarification of Condition 17. Mr. Ferrentino said the
applicant is in favor of working with the City to accomplish Alternative 3, but not in favor
of having Alternative 3 solely the obligation of the applicant. The six foot retaining wall
would be included in the site improvement along with mitigation efforts and
reconstruction of the drainage channel. Alternative I would require the applicant to
adjust the retaining wall so that it would not impact the sensitive area at all.
Chairman Neely asked if the applicant felt that Alternative 1 for Condition 17 would be
inappropriate because there is no nexus and if you avoid the impact areas there would
be no reason to do restoration. Mr. Ferrentino said to some extent, yes, and that
Alternative 1 without the word “restoration” and “the 1 OO-year floodplain” and the last
sentence with regard to dedicating an easement, would be an appropriate condition.
Alternative 1 as currently worded obligates the applicant to do things even if they avoid
the sensitive area.
Chairman Neely asked if, in Alternative 3, the applicant would be willing to cooperate
with the City on the drainage easement, what consideration would change the equation
so that the applicant would not participate with the City? Mr. Ferrentino said if they were
to leave the retaining wall where it currently is, there would be a debate whether that
retaining wall is in a sensitive area and about the impact of their project. Rather than
deal with that debate the applicant has proposed that a resolution be reached between
the City and the applicant. It would require the applicant to improve an area that they do
not believe is all of their responsibility.
L
I ..
PC Meeting 7 December 14,2004
Commissioner Cardoza asked about the lots adjacent to the street to be maintained by
the individual owners, and if there would be a parkway. Mr. Ferrentino said it is not
currently on the plan.
Sharon Vanderlan, 32181 Paseo De Manuel, asked that the wetlands not be disturbed,
and spoke in favor of Alternative 1, restoration.
Don Vanderlan, 32181 Paseo De Manuel, said that Alternative 3 would cost at least $1
million, and said that the fill previously placed at the head of the channel should be
removed.
Alexander Suvakovic, 32192 Paseo De Manuel, said that the property is moving and the
channel is really deep, and supported improvements to stabilize the channel.
Karen Gartner, 155 Fleurenze Street, Laguna Niguel, representing Richard Gartner and
family, 32141 Via Alicia, asked that the wetlands be preserved. She spoke in support of
Alternative 1, with restoration, and that a retaining wall not be used, a buffer
zone/maintenance easement be created on the Belladonna Estates equal to that of the
Sun Ranch Development, and that sufficient native vegetation be planted and
maintained to maintain the appearance of a natural riparian area.
Rick Clayton, 32151 Via Alicia, said that a videotape has been forwarded to the Army
Corps of Engineers showing rain that came through the canyon on October 20, 2004.
He said a survey showed that he has a fence in the easement. His markers were moved
the week of December 2.
Commissioner Cohen asked for clarification of the mention of heavy equipment. Ms.
Bogh said that the City met with representatives of the Department of Fish and Game in
July 2004 and was informed that a significant amount of invasive plants and
unconsolidated fill adjacent to the channel needed to be removed. The City Public
Works Department obtained a maintenance permit from Fish and Game and contracted
with Ed Stewart, a maintenance contractor, to remove arundo and to remove a berm
that had been left there through some emergency remediation activity a couple of years
ago.
Greg Sykes, 32171 Paseo De Manuel, spoke in favor of Alternative 1 to preserve the
natural habitat.
Frank Hartigan, 32351 Del Obispo, provided Commissioners with an aerial view in
1972, and said 1) access to the proposed development through the existing private road
should not be permitted because it would create a private and City liability, 2) conditions
of the approval map of 97-225 should be met as required by the City, 3) improvements
to the private road should be completed to serve the remaining three-acre parcel, and 4)
the proposed street improvements and signalization plan promised by the City in 1997
should be completed.
Art Birtcher, 32327 Del Obispo, said the neighbors are asking for help from the City
Engineer and City Attorney to participate in the documents of the Homeowners
PC Meeting 8 December 14,2004
Associations for this private drive below the Access B and above Access B. Those
outside of Rick‘s development won’t have enough political clout or control to say this is
what we would like to protect the environment. Right now that property consists of an
easement that has been established with approximately 30-40 trees along both sites of
that private drive. This tract development will remove all the trees with no guarantee to
replace the trees. Residents living adjacent to and using that private drive will be
affected by this project, because 19 out of the 31 lots will use B Street leading to the
private drive in order to go south on Del Obispo for all of the schools, city parks,
recreation, Boys and Girls Club, and for Dana Point.
Patricia Long, 32182 Paseo de Manual, said that she is an easement victim, with an
eight foot retaining wall three feet from her kitchen window that blocks a panoramic
view. The wall doesn’t show up on City records. Her hillside is falling. She requested
that a match of the proposed easement be required on the property on the other side of
the easement, and spoke in support of Alternative 1, restoration.
Mark Czerwin, 32131 Via Alicia, spoke in favor of Alternative I of Condition 17 and said
he does not want to look at a six foot high wall.
Gay Mcllwaine, 25782 Calle Ricardo, asked if the Alternative plan video would be
available for public review at the meeting.
Commissioner Questions and Comments
Chairman Neely asked for clarification regarding the video mentioned by Ms. Mcllwaine.
Ms. Bogh said a video of Alternative 3 was shown to individual Planning Commissioners
but that staff does not have a copy of the video. Mr. Sandoval recommended that if a
Commissioner’s personal experience and conversations with the applicant off site or off
the record bear in tonight’s decision, the Commissioner would need to disclose that fact
into the record if it hadn’t already been included in the record.
Commissioner Drey asked if both federal and state agencies had approved developing
the wetlands portion of the property. Ms. Bogh said staff has received confirmation from
the Army Corps of Engineers that there are jurisdictional wetlands under their review.
The applicant has conveyed to staff that they are in the process of appealing that
decision. In addition there would be Water Quality Control Board permits from the State
that would be necessary for any streambed alteration.
Commissioner Cardoza asked if there was intent to increase the easement to 30 feet on
the Scalzo side, and if the road is private or public because of the access onto the
Scalzo property from it? Ms. Bogh said that the original EIR for the 1972 Sun Ranch
Tract and a couple pieces of correspondence in the files from Engineering, staff
identified the property as a natural drainage course, a portion of which occurred on the
Sun Ranch property and a portion of which occurred on the neighboring property. The
EIR for the Sun Ranch property specified mitigation measures to make sure that it
remained a natural drainage course. From that the staff is inferring that the intent of that
document was to imply that if in the future the adjacent property were to develop, that
an additional easement would be necessary on that site. Mr. Sandoval said there is no
public road in the sense that there’s a public street for public use. The reason there is a
L-
. ..
PC Meeting 9 December 14,2004
license agreement is because that is the access conveyed to the County prior to the
City incorporating, where the Cook Reservoir is located.
Commissioner Ratcliffe asked for clarification of the Road B access onto the private
drive and the Fire Authority involvement. There was a similar situation with Honeyman
Ranch and the Ortega neighborhood in establishing the partial access. Why would the
Fire Authority be opposed to that condition here? Ms. Bogh said this was discussed at
the Transportation Commission and that there is a Fire Authority requirement for a
secondary access from this subdivision due to the length of the cul-de-sac.
Commissioner Cardoza asked if the area within the existing drainage easement to be
retained would be 30 feet, who would pay for drainage improvements in the easement?
If the easemet were to be doubled in size, who would provide that improvement for
restoration and naturalization of that drain area? Who would maintain it? Mr. Merrell
said it would be the obligation of the applicant to construct whichever of the three
options they choose. The applicant is intending to seek reimbursement for a substantial
portion of that cost from the City. Ms. Bogh said that staff identified several impacts of
this project to that natural drainage channel. Staff believes that there is a nexus
substantiated by the evidence in the record for the granting of any additional drainage
easement needed to support the project. The granting of the easement would be the
obligation of the developer as an environmental mitigation measure. Once the
easement is granted to the City, the City would maintain the easement. For a natural
drainage course the City has a different level of maintenance than it does for an
improved drainage course.
Chairman Neely asked if the staff had a chance to respond to Mr. Hartigan’s revised
access plan. Ms. Bogh said staff reviewed Mr. Hartigan’s plan. Staffs concern about
that plan is that it would involve the acquisition of additional right-of-way over Mr.
Hartigan’s property. It did not appear to staff as though there were a nexus for asking
this developer to obtain off-site right-of-way. There is feasible and reasonable
alternative access, so staff did not feel there was justification for condemning or
acquiring right-of-way over Mr. Hartigan’s property.
b
Chairman Neely said we really still don’t know what the 100-year floodplain is through
this area and asked if staff feels that Alternative I is feasible from an engineering
standpoint given the erosion that has occurred. Mr. Sandoval said that in terms of
liability for earth movement or having to do restoration, in the Tort Claims Act, a statute
that addresses liability for public agencies, cities do not have liability for natural
conditions of land. Since the development of Sun Ranch this area has been left in a
natural state, staff is proposing that either one of three conditions would satisfy local
regulations. Ms. Bogh said staff would have liked to see the drainage design and the
100-year floodplain, but has not received this information. Conditions have been added
requiring information for each of the three drainage alternatives prior to grading or
recordation of the final map.
Commissioner Cardoza asked for clarification on the private road improvements. Ms.
Bogh said the private road shows includes an access easement of 30 feet. Within those
30 feet the Engineering Department is recommending a section of 28 feet of paved
L
.. ..
PC Meeting 10 December 14,2004
roadway and a curb for drainage purposes. If the property owners in that area can work
it out among themselves to grant each other a landscape easement adjacent to the 30-
foot roadway, then they could replant trees and have a decorative fence. L
Commissioner Drey said that the eight foot high retaining wall along Del Obispo does
not fit with the rural character of our community and is not compatible with the adjoining
properties on the north and south side.
Commissioner Cardoza said the retaining walls and grading could be brought back to
the Planning Commission or DRC for modification to try to retain the rural character,
retain the landscaping, and retain the fencing.
Chairman Neely said the Planning Commission believes that if the City Council
approves the item, the DRC should have some latitude to resolve issues. Chairman
Neely asked if Mr. Birtcher and others prefer that there be emergency access only
through B Street to reduce the number of trips over onto the private lane.
Commissioner Cardoza would like the common area landscaping, slopes, streetscape,
and additional plantings that take place in the drainage area to go back to the DRC.
Chairman Neely said that’s largely in the wording. Chairman Neely said that the cul-de-
sac shown on the map as Street C would be on the other side of the proposed
emergency access gate but would be accessible from the private lane.
Ms. Bogh said that Condition 43 addresses the street improvement plans for the
southwesterly road and so Condition 43 would be modified to say that the existing
character of the road shall be maintained with the fence material and landscape
treatment as an obligation of the developer and that that would have to be shown on the
street improvement plans. The obtaining of offsite landscape easements to
accommodate that would also be the obligation of the developer.
-
Ms. Bogh said that B Street would have to be gated at the intersection with the main
access road, if the Commission wishes to make B Street an emergency access only.
Chairman Neely stated he expects that if some type of design alternative 17.2 were to
be done, that those drainage improvements would not be exclusively the cost of the
project applicant. The City staff would need to work with the applicant on what is the
appropriate nexus between the parts of the property that are affected by it and that are
not.
Ms. Bogh asked for clarification of the consensus of the Commissioners to recommend
the second drainage alternative as set forth in Condition 17, and the Commissioners
concurred.
The Commission discussed the need for additional drainage information regarding the
100-year floodplain and ways to stabilize the channel sides; the need to retain rural
character of the area; provision of adequate vehicular and pedestrian access along the
private drive access to south; the need for contour grading, landscaped parkways on L
PC Meeting 11 December 14,2004
interior streets, minimizing use of and height of walls; landscaping of the private drive;
and the need for additional time to review the staff report and supporting documents.
Chairman Neely asked the applicant whether there was a time constraint in providing
the additional information requested by the Planning Commission. Mr. Ferrentino stated
the applicant’s desire for an immediate decision on the project.
The Planning Commission discussed recommendations pertaining to landscaping,
access, drainage improvements, and design, and incorporated these into the motion as
follows:
Motion
Commissioner Cohen moved, seconded by Chairman Neely, to recommend to the City
Council that they deny the request for approval to subdivide a 16.14 acre parcel into 3;
lots, based on concerns regarding the project design. Included in the motion were
recommendations that, should the City Council approve the project, the following
changes be incorporated into the project approval:
0 Condition I7 should be revised to reflect that Alternative 2, the contoured open
channel design alternative for the natural drainage course along the northern
boundary of the site, shall be the preferred alternative, and that the City should
work with the applicant to determine the applicant’s fair-share contribution to
these improvements based upon the project impacts to the drainage course,
grading, and General Plan conformance;
0 The project should be revised to show that B Street be gated at the intersection
with A Street, and be used for emergency access purposes only;
0 The applicant should be required to obtain additional landscape easements and
install landscape improvements along the private southwesterly drive from Del
Obispo to B Street, which improvements shall be consistent with existing
landscaping and fencing along said drive;
0 The final design plans for grading, landscaping, sidewalks, walls, fences, and the
channel improvements shall be forwarded to the DRC for final review and
approval.
