NEW BUSINESS
A. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 94-26 - MASI PARTNERS - The development of an
ice/roller rink in the Buildings 18 and 19; a multi-screen theatre in
Building 27; revisions to previously approved Building 1; new elevations
for Buildings 25 and 26; and a parking study addressing required parking
for the ice/roller rink, located on 27 acres of land at the southwest
corner of Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue (the site of previously
approved Conditional Use Permit 91-24) in the Industrial Park District
(Subarea 7) of the Industrial Area Specific Plan - APN: 229-011-10, 19,
21, and 26 through 28.
Beverly Luttrell, Associate Planner, gave an overview of the project and
highlighted the main issues which were noted in the staff report.
John DeFrenza, Masi Partners, confirmed they understood that relocating
already approved conditional use permit applications to other buildings on the
site will require modification. He commented the parking study will be
addressed at a later date. He stated a single entrance is required for the
ice/roller rink and the separate entrances suggested by the Planning Division
are not feasible. He felt the fence requested by the Engineering Division may
not stop jaywalkers, but he expressed a willingness to provide the fence if
directed to do so. He suggested an alternative would be to provide a
pedestrian crossing across Sebastian Drive with signal lights and a marked
crosswalk. He stated they would also like to explore the possibility of a
walkway to the Sports Complex. He also reported their team had consulted with
VSC in Pasadena regarding utilization of the two rinks. He indicated that the
roller surface would be first to be completed with the ice rink surface to
follow. Seating capacity will be up to 2,500 in bleachers. He acknowledged
the 10-parking space shortfall for the roller rink parking and agreed to
adjust the parking layout to pick up the additional 10 spaces.
Commissioner Melcher commented that he thought the applicant was trying to
design "fixes" for a site plan that does not work any more.
Mr. DeFrenza stated the ice roller rink is to be constructed of insulated
metal panels. He stated it is essentially a Butler building with a stucco
finish. He also noted that they may have to approach the City about a
non-buildable easement on the Adult Sports Complex in order to build the
building as proposed.
Brad Buller, City Planner, suggested that the applicant make contact with the
Park Development staff and the City Council soon regarding the possible need
for a non-buildable easement.
Mr. DeFrenza indicated that he would submit material samples. He requested
that any discussion of the architecture be postponed, since the ice/roller
rink will have to be redesigned anyway to accommodate concerns with the
orientation of the entry.
The theater and the on-site parking distribution for the theater use was
discussed. Mr. DeFrenza indicated that 1/3 of the required parking for the
theater is located to the north of the building (away from the entrance) and
2/3 is located to the south of the building (adjacent to the main entrance).
The Commission determined this layout of parking was acceptable for the
theater but noted that the parking layout, count, and orientation for the
roller rink was still an issue.
It was the consensus of the Commission that the architecture for all the other
buildings was acceptable as submitted excluding the roller rink building.
The applicant was directed to return with revisions to the architecture of the
ice/roller rink which should include a redesign and relocation of the entry
and changes to the front of the building to possibly include a fence to deter
jaywalkers. The revisions shall be reviewed at a Planning Commission workshop
prior to a final Planning Commission hearing. Revised plans shall be
submitted two weeks prior to the workshop date.
ADJOURNMENT:
The workshop adjourned at 12:50 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Secretary
