ROLL CALL: Present: Members - Dennis, Froehle, Gillanders, Swain, Atkins Absent: Members -None Also Present: Executive Director Koski, General Counsel Martin and Associate Planner Saldana 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: On motion by Mr. Gillanders, seconded by Mr. Froehle, the Minutes of the regular meeting of January 20 were approved as written with Members Dennis and Swain abstaining. 4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: None 5. NEW BUSINESS: A. PROPOSED SHOPPING CENTER 5614 -18 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD Associate Planner Saldana presented background information stating plans have been submitted and reviewed by staff for the development of a 7,912- square foot shopping center at 5614 -18 Rosemead Boulevard. The shopping center (which in part is two story) will provide 21,623 square feet of building space. Sufficient parking is provided for this development at the ratio of one parking space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area with the exception of 2394 square feet of the floor area which would be devoted toward restaurant use. The parking calculated for the restaurant portion would be at one parking space for each 100 square feet. The over all proposal would require 46 parking spaces and the plans submitted meet these parking requirements. Landscaping and signs conform to the Zoning Code and staff finds this project to be consistent with the Rosemead Boulevard Redevelopment Plan for Block 'E'. Mr. Gillanders questioned the limitation of the restaurant to 2394 square feet which he felt was inadequate for a restaurant other than another fast food establishment. Mr. Saldana responded if the applicant requested more square feet for restaurant usage, more parking spaces would be re- quired and that is not available. Dr. Cindy Sun, Optometrist, Monterey Park, applicant, stated they had provided for 2,394 square feet in the event they wish to have a restaurant. Since parking space requirements differ from office space requirements, they have included the restau- rant as an option. It is Dr. Sun's intention to make it a development that will enhance the area and bring business into the city and hoped it would meet with the Agency's approval. 1 Agency Minutes, February 3, 1987 - Page 2 Chairman Atkins inquired if a restaurant is necessary to the project to succeed. Dr. Sun stated it may be necessary for it would increase activity for that area depending on the tenants which are not know at this time. The restaurant, consisting of 2,400 square feet, could be on the second floor such as is found in Boston or Berkley, which would provide adequate space for a unique type restaurant. Rudy Peralta, 1956 Holly Oak Drive, Monterey Park, spoke on behalf of Dr. Sun stating he served on the Monterey Park City Council from 1982 to 1986 and has known Dr. Sun for a great many years. She is very active in community affairs and sets a fine example of being a successful business person and has not just taken, but has given back to the City in return. Dr. Sun was very prominent in supporting the one million dollar Girls and Boys Club new structure, and is a person of high quality which is reflected in her projects. Mr. Dennis moved to approve the proposed shopping center at 5614 -18 Rosemead Boulevard subject to the condition that no more than 2,400 square feet of gross floor area be utilized for restaurant use and that any proposed restaurants be re- quired to obtain a conditional use permit, seconded by Mr. Gillanders, and unanimously carried. B.
