Planning Director Shaw presented the staff report regarding
this request for allowing the construction of four multi - family
residential dwelling units. The property presently consists of
a single family dwelling. There is no garage on the site. The

proposed use for the site, there is adequate access to the street,
and the proposed use does not appear to have an adverse impact on
adjacent properties. Based on these considerations, staff
is recommending that the request be approved per the findings

A videotape was shown of the site.

Minor Zoning Modification 86 -180
Applicant: Rick Minick
10134.La Rosa Drive
Temple City, CA 91780

(b) Sign Plan - Jomel's Place
The roof sign does not conform to code and will have to be
removed. The applicant will be coming back with a new sign
plan at a future meeting.
(c) Code Enforcement Program
A question was raised.as to what "Mobile Equipment" consists
of. Planning Director Shaw. said it would be explained at
the next meeting.
(d) Request for Issuance of Building Permits for property located
at northeast corner of Woodruff & Cloverly. Robert Hepler
had applied for Building Permits for the subject property, but
due to delays in Public Works and imposed Conditions of
Approval from them he delayed in applying for the permits.
When he did apply, he was one day beyond the new ordinance
coming into effect which required a Conditional Use Permit
for all units over 3 in number being.constructed. Because
he was not informed of the pending CUP requirement, it was
recommended by Staff that he be excused from the $300. fee
for filing for.the Conditional Use Permit, and from the
CUP process itself:
Tom Breazeal motioned to support staff's recommendation_to
direct Planning Director Shaw to notify Mr. Hepler
_permits can be issued without the Conditional Use Permit
cycle, seconded by Commissioner Abraham, and concurred
-- unanimously.
