VC/Nelson suggested that he should recuse himself from the January 25, 2000, discussion of the
Significant Ecological Area issue because the firm he works with is conducting an update for
Los Angeles County.
JANUARY 11, 2000 PAGE 4 PLANNINGCOMMISSION
DCM/DeStefano responded that it is likely that VC/Nelson should recuse himself. He will investigate
the matter further and keep VC/Nelson advised.
Chair/Tye re -opened the public hearing.
There was no one present who wished to speak on this matter.
Chair/Tye referred to a letter addressed to the City from Samuel C. Tricoli which cited Article V,
Section 22.65.030 and asked that staff explain how these changes will effect Mr. Tricoli's concerns.
AssocP/Lungu responded that Mr. Tricoli wants to add 200 square feet to his home. Apparently,
Mr. Tricoli has a legal non -conforming issue because his house is not built to the current setback
requirements. In order for Mr. Tricoli to proceed with his 200 square foot addition, he needs to go
through the public hearing process, notify property owners within a 500 foot radius of his project site,
post his site with a 4 x 6 foot board advertising what he intends to do on his site for a minimum of
10 days prior to the hearing and through the 10 calendar day appeal period and provide a $ 1,000 deposit
to the City. Mr. Tricoli is disturbed because he believes that a 200 square foot addition is minimal and
he does not understand why the City would require him to go through this process.
Chair/Tye said he is not sure that he would disagree with Mr. Tricoli.
C/Ruzicka asked if the proposed amendment will solve Mr. Tricoli's concern.
AssocP/Lungu indicated that if the Commission recommends approval of this amendment and the City
Council adopts this amendment, Mr. Tricoli's problem is solved because it will not be necessary for him
to go through the Minor Conditional Use Permit public hearing process time and related costs.
C/Ruzicka asked staff to identify the sections in the Development Code that substantiates a negative
impact on surrounding uses will be minimized.
AssocP/Lungu identified specific sections of the Development Code that would support that concern.
C/Ruzicka moved, VC/Nelson seconded, to prepare a resolution recommending approval of the
amendments as outlined in staff's report for Development Code Amendment No. 99-1 and Subdivision
Ordinance Amendment No. 99-1 to the City Council to be forwarded to the Commission on January 25,
2000 for final approval, and to continue the public hearing on the Significant Ecological Area discussion
