Commissioner Blank noted that whenever there is a Fair, Bernal Corners pulls signs out which allow one-hour parking maximum for customers, after which cars would be towed. He indicated that this appears to work. Commissioner Pentin noted that Condition No. 42 of Exhibit A on Transportation Systems Management (TSM) refers to the project applicant or developer or property owner. He inquired if this was common boilerplate wording or because the City does not identify the person responsible and if it would leave a loophole. Mr. Pavan replied that it is standard boilerplate language and covers all options. Commissioner Blank inquired who the producer of the video simulations was. Mr. Pavan replied that the video simulations were prepared by the applicant. Commissioner Pentin referred to Condition No. 59 which states that the existing 18-inch storm drains stubbed to the property and Bernal Avenue shall be abandoned per City standard requirements. He stated that he understands the storm water and grading will take it to the ponds, but he inquired if the storm drains would simply be abandoned but would still be there and would be able to be brought back into operation if there were ever any issues or problems with water in the area. Mr. Pavan referred the question to Wes Jost, Development Services Manager. Mr. Jost stated that the storm drain is basically stubbed for future use. He indicated, however, that whatever is proposed for the site must be treated, and, therefore, the abandoned storm drains would more than likely not be used in the future. Commissioner Pentin referred to Condition No. 73 which states that minor changes to the plan can be allowed subject to the approval of the Director of Community Development and asked for a definition of “minor.” Mr. Pavan stated that staff has attempted in the past to define “minor” and had no success, and that “minor” is determined on a case-by-case basis. He explained that a proposed modification is judged against the conditions and approved plans, and then a determination is made as to whether the change is minor or major and requires more scrutiny and potentially a hearing before the Planning Commission. Commissioner Pentin inquired if the sign program, size of windows, or illumination would be considered major or minor. Mr. Pavan stated that it would likely require a modification to the PUD. He noted that changing the trim or window colors would be considered minor. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 25, 2010 Page 27 of 38
