9. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ITEMS
A. Condition Compliance - Planned Development No. 1064 - Tops
Management
Regarding final design.
On January 6, 1988 the City Council approved this project with a
condition that required final design review by the Planning
Commission and City Council. The City Council approved a
free - standing pad and an L- shaped building somewhat center of
the site. Tops Management submitted for Commission's review a
revised plan from what the City Council had reviewed. This
revised version eliminated the free- standing pad and moved the
L- shaped building closer to Los Angeles (90 feet vs. 150 feet).
Also, there was an additional restaurant added to the building.
Overall square footage was reduced from 34,00 to 30,00 square
feet.
The Planning Commission supported the applicant latest proposal with
recommendations to the City Council on the following:
1. The need to add additional elevation features on the south
and west sides of the building.
2. The site could use a few more trees.
