In reply to Chair McGuire, Ms. Davis stated that staff had received no written
communication on the item.
The staff report was introduced by Michael Ressler, Senior Planner. The subject property is
zoned CM (Commercial Manufacturing) and developed with an industrial building operating
as an off-site associated automobile service center for the House of Imports dealership.
The property to the north is zoned CM and operates as Evergreen Storage. The properties
to the east are zoned RS-6 (One-Family Residential) and developed with single-family
residences. The property to the south is zoned CM and operates as A1 Transmission. The
property to the west, across Stanton Avenue, is zoned CM and developed with a multitenant industrial complex.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution approving
Conditional Use Permit No. CU04-008M1 with the findings of fact and conditions listed
therein.
The property under application is located on the east side of Stanton Avenue, north of
Orangethorpe Avenue. The property maintains a street frontage of 205 ft. and a total area
of approximately 1.86 acres. The property is developed with a 43,710 sq. ft. industrial
building located along the north property line with 65 parking stalls located to the south and
in front of the building. The Planning Commission approved the existing building in June
1963 under Conditional Use Permit No. CU-75. The property is accessed by a 31.5 ft. wide
two-way driveway at the southwest corner of the property with a 20 ft. wide one-way, exit
only driveway at the northwest corner of the property. Landscape improvements include a
10 ft. front setback along Stanton Avenue, foundation planting along the front elevation of
the building, and a 10 ft. landscape buffer adjacent to the rear property line shared with the
residential properties to the east. The building maintains an exterior loading dock located
on the south elevation which is secured by a block wall with wrought iron rolling gate that
spans from the southwest corner of the building to the south property line.
On March 10, 2004, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. CU04008 to establish an off-site associated automobile service center for the House of Imports
dealership within the industrial building. The interior of the existing concrete block building
was reconfigured to maintain approximately 3,250 sq. ft. of office space, restroom facilities,
and the remainder of the building maintains 50 new service stalls and equipment storage
areas. The service center is only used to supplement vehicle maintenance and service
performed at the House of Imports dealership. The off-site facility is only used by Mercedes
technicians and no customers visit the site. Service hours for the facility are Monday
through Friday 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M.
The submitted application and plans propose establishment of body and paint operations
within the existing House of Imports dealership off-site automobile service center including
minor building modifications. The proposed paint and body operations will only be used in
association with the House of Imports dealership. All vehicles will be transported to the new
facility for service and returned to the House of Imports dealership. The off-site body and
paint facility will only be used by Mercedes technicians and no customers will visit the site.
In order to sustain the new operations, the existing 43,710 sq. ft. building will be
reconfigured to accommodate the existing 3,250 sq. ft. of office space and restroom
facilities, 23 existing service stalls, 22 new body shop stalls, and an approximately 6,800 sq.
ft. paint and preparation area at the rear of the building. The proposed new paint and
preparation area will include approximately 1,800 sq. ft. of preparation area, 2,800 sq. ft. of
Vol. 28 - Page No.
5487
wash area, and two paint booths. In order to accommodate the new circulation pattern
within the building, the plans also propose installation of a metal roll up door at the
southeast corner of the building. No additional building area is proposed.
The City of Buena Park Zoning Ordinance requires Planning Commission review and
approval via the Conditional Use Permit process to establish body and paint operations
within the existing House of Imports dealership automobile service center. In reviewing the
application, Staff visited the site and surrounding area and is of the opinion that the
proposed use will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding properties, as
conditioned. The subject property is located within an established commercial/industrial
area that has been developed with industrial uses of similar intensity and character to the
use proposed by the applicant.
The property will meet all applicable development standards including parking, circulation,
access, buffering, and separation, as conditioned. The property maintains a 26 ft.
separation between the industrial building on-site and the east property line that abuts the
adjacent residentially zoned properties. Within this separation, the property maintains the
required 10 ft. wide landscape planter with mature screen trees and a 6 ft. tall concrete
block property line wall. No building openings face the adjacent residential property, other
than the emergency exit. Since the existing and proposed loading doors face the south
property line, service center operations including body and paint within the building will be
properly oriented away from the adjacent residents. Based on the combination of the
building orientation and the existing required landscape setback, staff feels that the site is
sufficiently separated by distance and buffered with mature trees to protect the adjacent
residentially zoned properties. To insure compatibility with surrounding uses, staff has
included conditions that regulate outdoor activities, operations, and storage.
The project is Class 1, Section 15301, categorically exempt from CEQA.
Notice of public hearing was posted at City Hall, the Buena Park Library, and Ehlers
Community Recreation Center on May 30, 2013, and 38 notices were mailed to property
owners within a 300 ft. radius of the subject property on May 30, 2013.
Chair McGuire asked if there were any questions of staff.
Commissioner Gonzales inquired if the paint booth area will be equipped with an air filter
system for the painting operation and whether AQMD approval is required.
Mr. Ressler stated that the applicant must comply with all AQMD requirements. The
applicant submitted the list of AQMD requirements for the installation and operation of the
paint booth area. The applicant will be required to submit for AQMD approval during the
building plan check process.
Chair McGuire said that this is a public hearing. If there is anyone wishing to speak on the
item, please come forward and state their name and address for the record.
Larry Tidball, Stantec Architecture, applicant, 38 Technology Drive, Irvine, CA 92616 stated
the he had no questions or concerns regarding the conditions of approval. In response to
Vol. 28 - Page No.
5488
Commissioner Gonzalez, Mr. Tidball said the project includes an air intake and down draft
filtration system in the paint booth that filters and captures particulate matter and an exhaust
system to filter fumes and particulates generated by the paint booth operation as required
by AQMD.
Chair McGuire asked if the facility will maintain hazardous materials
Mr. Tidball stated that paint materials and motor oil used by the auto repair business that is
currently operating will remain on the site. These materials are classified as hazardous or
flammable materials and regulated by Orange County Fire Authority. A list of hazardous
materials will be submitted to the Fire Authority as part of the building plan check process.
Management and quantities of each material are based on the building height and
occupancy.
There being no one else wishing to speak on the matter, Chair McGuire advised that the
item requires a Resolution for approval or denial with findings.

In reply to Chair McGuire, Ms. Davis stated that staff had received no written
communication on the item.
The staff report was introduced by Jennifer Wallis, Assistant Planner. The subject property
is zoned CG (Commercial General) and is developed with an integrated commercial center
that includes a restaurant building and two multi-tenant commercial buildings. The property
is part of an integrated development with the two adjacent parcels developed with Carrow’s
Restaurant and Millennium Clothing. The property to the north is zoned CG and is
developed with the BestHost Inn. The properties to the east, across Stanton Avenue, are
zoned CG and are developed with the Days Inn Motel and the Dorado Senior Apartments.
The properties to the south are zoned CG and are developed with a multi-tenant
commercial building. The properties to the west, across Beach Boulevard, are zoned CG
and RS-6 (One Family Residential) and are developed with the Walgreens pharmacy and
single family homes.
Conditional Use Permit No. CU13-007 with the findings of fact and conditions listed therein.
The integrated development under application is generally located within the triangle
between Beach Boulevard, Stanton Avenue and Crescent Avenue, with street frontages of
550 ft. along Stanton Avenue and 750 ft. along Beach Boulevard, and a total land area of
4.2 acres. In 1967, the Planning Commission approved Variance No. V-525, to establish
the Firestone building within an existing integrated center with reduction in required parking
for the integrated development. The variance allowed for reduction of 22 parking spaces.
The integrated center was later divided into three individual parcels which are required to
maintain reciprocal access, parking and circulation agreements. The three parcels
comprising the integrated center are separately owned. The individual property under
application is developed with an approximately 17,267 sq. ft. multi-tenant building, a 3,876
sq. ft. restaurant building and the 10,336 sq. ft. multi-tenant building, formerly Firestone
building. The separately owned Millennium Clothing and Carrow’s (future Farrell’s)
Restaurant properties are not part of this application.
On October 14, 2009, the Planning Commission approved Site Plan No. SP09-017 to
renovate a portion of the multi-tenant center to include building, parking, and landscape
improvements. The individual tenant area under application is approximately 3,090 sq. ft.
and is located in the center of the approximately 17,267 sq. ft. multi-tenant building toward
the north property line.
In December 2012, La Capitaine Hookah Lounge established business operations as a
tobacco lounge which serves non-alcoholic beverages as an automatically permitted use
with restrictions prohibiting live entertainment and dancing. The lounge maintains
approximately 100 seats and provides a social setting in which patrons can purchase
Vol. 28 - Page No.
5490
flavored tobacco to be smoked from a hookah, also known as a water pipe. La Capitaine
currently maintains hours of operation from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Sunday through
Thursday and 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and employs two (2)
licensed security guards during hours of operation. Based on the requests by lounge
guests, the business owner is proposing to establish live entertainment within the hookah
lounge which requires a Conditional Use Permit.
The submitted application and plans propose live entertainment including karaoke, Disc
Jockey’s, dancing, comedy shows and bands, within the existing 3,090 sq. ft. hookah
lounge. As indicated in the attached business plan, the applicant is requesting an
Entertainment Permit for entertainment between 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Sunday through
Thursday and 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Entertainment will consist
of DJ’s providing music for dancing at the lounge as well as karaoke, comedy shows and
the occasional band. Dancing will take place in an area centrally located within the hookah
lounge and will be limited to 400 sq. ft. All live entertainment, such as bands and comedy
acts, will occur in a performance area along the east side of the hookah lounge. The
submitted application indicates that bands will be limited to 4 members. Per the submitted
application, all requests for live entertainment outside of the permitted times will be
submitted to the Community Development Director a minimum of seven (7) days prior to the
date of the performance provided that the maximum number of such events will not exceed
thirty (30) events per year. The lounge currently employs two (2) licensed security guards
during hours of operation. The lounge is also equipped with closed circuit security cameras
inside and outside of the tenant space. The property owner also maintains additional
security cameras on-site. The applicant will continue to provide the existing security
measures as part of this application.
Section 19.512.010 of the Zoning Code requires Planning Commission review and approval
for entertainment uses within the existing establishment via the Conditional Use Permit
process. Pursuant to the City Code Section 5.24.020, no person or business entity shall
operate, conduct or manage any place or premises open to the public where any form of
entertainment is provided or furnished, without first obtaining an annual Entertainment
Permit.
In reviewing the applicant’s request, staff reviewed the submitted plans and business plan,
visited the site and the surrounding business within the area, and is of the opinion that the
proposed entertainment use can be accommodated without negatively affecting the subject
or surrounding businesses. Since the hookah lounge is located toward the interior of an
integrated shopping center, surrounded by Beach Boulevard and Stanton Avenue, staff
feels that there is adequate separation from the nearest single-family residential
neighborhood, located to the west across Beach Boulevard. Additionally, Staff feels that
the lounge with proposed entertainment is at an appropriate scale to achieve consistency
with the existing and intended commercial and entertainment related uses in the area as
envisioned within the original land use approval for the property. Staff has also included a
condition within the attached resolution that requires the lounge and incidental
entertainment uses to maintain noise levels in compliance with the City Noise Ordinance
and not negatively affect surrounding properties.
In regards to live entertainment and DJ lounge music, staff does support the request based
on the scope of the music and entertainment. Prerecorded DJ music is typical within a
hookah lounge and imposes no impacts to the establishment and surrounding properties if
operated in accordance with Code requirements. The proposed live entertainment will be
Vol. 28 - Page No.
5491
limited based on performance characteristics and the limited size of a dance floor within the
lounge floor plan design, as conditioned. Live entertainment and dancing will be incidental
to the hookah lounge operations and only be allowed during regular hours of operation,
subject to approval of an Entertainment Permit. Staff has included a condition requiring the
applicant to obtain annual Entertainment Permits through the Community Development
Department and Police Department which will detail all proposed entertainment types to be
approved with associated restrictions.
However, Planning Staff and the Police Department do not support the extended hours of
operation until 2:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 4:00 a.m. on Fridays and
Saturdays. The lounge is located near surrounding residential properties and directly abuts
the BestHost Inn. The extended hours have generally not been permitted for similar uses as
well as new restaurants without first going through a trial period with restricted hours of
operations in order to demonstrate the use will not lead to other problems, impacting the
adjacent properties. A condition has been included within the attached Resolution which
limits the hours of operations to 12:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 2:00 a.m. Friday
and Saturday. After a six month review of the business operations, the Community
Development Director, with coordination from the Police Department, may extend the hours
via the Minor Modification of Conditions process.
The subject property is located within the Entertainment Corridor Focus Area in the City’s
General Plan which is envisioned as a mix of entertainment, world-class shopping, excellent
dining, and high quality civic spaces are intended to create a regional destination where
visitors can patronize local attractions without leaving the Entertainment Corridor. The
themed hookah lounge creates a unique entertainment and socialization option near the
City’s entry just outside of the Entertainment Corridor which is an amenity for tourists as well
as the surrounding community. The proposed entertainment uses will increase market
potential for tourists while support nearby hotels and other entertainment attractions.
Community Recreation Center on May 30, 2013, and 21 notices were mailed to property
owners within a 300 ft. radius of the subject property on May 30, 2013.
Chair McGuire asked if there were any questions of staff.
Commissioner Schoales stated concerns regarding the original business license conditions
included within Attachment 4 and accepted by the applicant. He referred to Condition #1
requiring that the business be owner-operated or otherwise exempt from the prohibition of
smoking in the workplace set forth in Labor Code section 6404.5 and inquired about the
regulations and exemptions within that Code section and whether the business met those
requirements. He also questioned whether entertainers and musicians were considered
employees under the Code section.
Commissioner Schoales also expressed concern that late hours and entertainment may
attract a questionable clientele to the business creating additional noise in the area. He
suggested an initial trial period for entertainment with only comedians and magicians. . He
said that the hours for entertainment should be limited due to the proximity of the adjacent
motel. He expressed concern about the business circumventing the State Labor Code
prohibiting smoking in the suite as well as the potential for excessive occupancy.
Vol. 28 - Page No.
5492
Ms. Wallis indicated she was not familiar with the specific State Labor Code laws regarding
smoking in businesses but confirmed with Mr. Fox that conditions have been included within
the Resolution that require the applicant to meet all State and Federal laws. The proposed
conditions of approval are consistent with similar entertainment approvals, including Golden
Nights and Torch Restaurants.
Mr. Fox confirmed that there are exemptions within State law that allow smoking in hookah
lounges and cigar bars.
Mr. Rosen clarified that the submitted floor plan has been reviewed and conditioned to limit
the size and area permitted for dancing and entertainment and is not permitted to exceed
the occupancy permitted by Code.
Gene Otondo, consultant for the applicant, stated that records show that in the first seven
months of operation with extended hours there were no reported incidents. The business
clientele is primarily younger, but patrons must be at least 18, which is the minimum age for
smoking. There is no sale of alcohol, which would promote a different dynamic from a
typical bar or lounge. In order to be competitive within Buena Park, as an entertainment
City, the applicant needs a small dance floor and the ability to offer entertainment. The
applicant is willing to provide a noise meter to monitor and verify compliance with the City
Noise Code throughout the night both inside and outside of the building. As a compromise
between the applicant’s original request for extended hours and the City’s conditions
restricting operations, the applicant is proposing the Commission consider restricting
entertainment to 12:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 2:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday
but allowing business operations to continue until 2:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and
4:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday
In response to Commissioner Chung, Mr. Otondo said that the business creates a social
situation for young people who are in school or work during the day or early evenings and
generally tend to begin their recreation and socializing later in the evening. He described a
“hookah” as a water pipe with individual hoses. Various tobacco flavors are offered for sale
and on-site smoking with the hookahs being provided.
Commissioner Schoales said that despite lack of approved alcohol sales, patrons may
illegally sneak alcohol into the establishment. He expressed concern about the hookah
lounge becoming a dance club.
Mr. Otondo said he used to own a bar in Belmont Shore and proper management is
essential. The lounge provides entry screening and patrons found to possess alcohol aren’t
admitted. He said the type of music played determines the type of people attracted to the
lounge and the correct type of entertainment attracts a proper clientele. Lack of alcohol also
contributes to a better atmosphere. Doors will be kept closed to eliminate noise impacts.
Commissioner McGuire said that noise associated with the hookah lounge could interfere
with the success of the new BestHost Inn and nearby businesses. He noted the rear door
to the suite facing the motel which, if left open, could disturb motel guests and potentially
Vol. 28 - Page No.
5493
compromise safety during late hours. He suggested limiting entertainment to 10 PM for an
introductory 6 month period before further review of proposed late hours of operation. .
Mr. Rosen indicated he is unaware of any problems caused by the hookah lounge since
beginning operation. He also clarified that Planning Division condition #13 requires that
entrance /exit doors be kept closed at all times, with hardware for emergency exiting, and
restricted to employee entrance and exit only with signage indicating no patrons shall enter
or exit except for emergency.
Michael Reazuddin, operator of the BestHost Inn, described his biggest concern as
potential for excessive exterior sound levels affecting the motel guests and whether the
lounge can limit noise to within their building. He also expressed concern about late hours
of operation and hookah lounge patrons lingering in his parking lot. He said he has not had
any specific problems with the operation of the hookah lounge since he assumed control of
motel operations 3 to 4 months ago.
Commissioner Capelle asked Mr. Reazuddin whether he was concerned about his ability
to attract families to his motel given the proposed late hours of hookah lounge operation.
Commissioner Barstow expressed concern that the preference of young people patronizing
the hookah lounge for loud music could negatively affect motel guests and that
entertainment until 4 AM is excessive.
There being no one else wishing to speak on the matter, Chair McGuire advised that the
item requires a Resolution for approval or denial with findings.
Commissioner Capelle moved and Commissioner Barstow seconded the motion to adopt
the following titled Resolution recommending Conditional Use Permit No. CU13-007 with
findings of fact and conditions therein, with the following revisions:
a. All live entertainment shall cease and not exceed the hours of 12:00 a.m.
Sunday through Thursday, and 2:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday but closing hours
of operation may extend but not exceed 2:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday,
and 4:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
b. A status report, including Police calls for service as well as relevant information
available from the adjacent motel operator shall be presented to the Planning
Commission six months and twelve months after Planning Commission approval.
c. Exterior doors to remain closed at all times.

TEXT AMENDMENT NO. C13-001
A request to consider a recommendation to the City Council for a Text Amendment to
amend Section 19.308.030 and Table 19.312.010, and add Section 19.348.070 to Division
3, amend Section 19.408.030 and Table 19.412.010, and add Section 19.448.070 to

19 of the Buena Park Municipal Code pertaining to Emergency Shelters, Transitional and
Supportive Housing and Affordable Housing Incentives as required by State Law. The
project proponent is the City of Buena Park.
PROPERTY PROPONENT:
City of Buena Park
In reply to Chair McGuire, Ms. Davis stated that staff had received no written communication
on the item.
The staff report was introduced by Jennifer Wallis, Assistant Planner. Staff recommends
that the Planning Commission adopt the proposed Resolution recommending that the City
Council approve Text Amendment No. C13-001.
The City is periodically required to update the Zoning Ordinance to comply with State laws.
The purpose of the proposed Text Amendment is to update the City’s Zoning Ordinance to
reflect current State laws regarding zoning for Emergency Shelters, Transitional and
Supportive Housing (SB 2), and Affordable Housing Incentives (SB 1818). Although Buena
Park has complied with state law SB1818 on an individual project basis and has not
received an application under SB 2 provisions, the State requirements have not been
codified. This proposed Text Amendment will codify the requirements of applicable State
law.
Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) (2007) requires local jurisdictions to identify the zone or zones where
transitional and supportive housing as well as emergency shelters are permitted by right.
State law requires that supportive and transitional housing be considered as residential
use of property, subject only to restrictions applicable to other residential dwellings in the
same zone. Supportive housing is permanent rental housing designed to provide
residents with a stable living environment. Transitional housing is a specific type of
Vol. 28 - Page No.
5495
supportive interim housing to facilitate movement of homeless individuals and families to
permanent housing. Currently, staff has interpreted transitional housing and other types
of supportive housing as residential uses. However, these uses are not specified as
automatically permitted residential uses within the Zoning Ordinance. The City has
previously approved a transitional housing development with a Development Agreement.
SB 2 also requires local jurisdictions to permit Emergency Shelters by right in at least
one zone. Emergency Shelters may be subject to development and management
standards that apply to residential and commercial development within the same zone.
Emergency Shelters are not currently listed in the permitted use chart within the Zoning
Ordinance. However, an emergency shelter has been previously approved as “group
quarters” in conjunction with the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park.
Senate Bill 1818 (SB 1818) requires cities and counties modify previously State-mandated
“density bonus” zoning incentives for affordable housing developments. The changes in the
law reduced the amount of affordable units that a developer must provide to receive a
density bonus and required cities and counties to provide certain development concessions
or incentives, depending upon the percentage of affordable units provided. The State also
imposed a new land donation rule and statewide parking standards. Municipalities can
adopt zoning regulations to allow increased housing density above the density permitted by
zoning for a site in exchange for provision of affordable housing consistent with state law, but
cannot establish ordinances that are less than the standards established in the Government
Code.
The objective of SB 1818 is to encourage developers to build affordable housing by
requiring local governments to provide development incentives. A density bonus is defined
as an increase of 20 to 35 percent over the maximum allowable residential density under
the applicable zoning and General Plan designations. There are five components to SB
1818: (1) density bonus for affordable housing developments that meet prescribed
affordability levels, (2) development incentives or concessions, (3) waiver of development
standards, (4) imposition of maximum parking requirements, and (5) bonuses for land
donation or childcare facilities. Units for low or very low income must be income restricted
for a minimum of 30 years. In the case of for sale moderate income units, the initial
occupant must meet income qualifications. However, when sold, the seller of the unit retains
the value of any improvements, the down payment, and the seller's proportionate share of
the appreciation. The unit generally then becomes a market rate home.
On January 12, 2013, the Emergency Shelter requirements of SB2 were presented to the
City Council in Study Session. Council directed Staff to prepare a Text Amendment to allow
emergency shelters “by right” in commercial zones with specific development and operating
standards.
State law now requires that transitional housing and supportive housing be considered
as residential uses of property, and subject only to those restrictions that apply to other
similar residential dwellings in the same zone. Therefore, transitional and supportive
housing are being included within the permitted use charts within the Single Family and
Multifamily zones to be processed consistent with similar permitted residential uses.
As proposed, emergency shelters are only permitted in commercial zones and are
prohibited in residential zones unless incidental to a religious facility. With the passage of
Vol. 28 - Page No.
5496
SB 2, cities must automatically allow homeless shelters in at least one zone, and
automatically allow transitional and supportive housing in residential zones. To comply with
State law, the City’s current zoning standards must be amended to allow automatic
approval. State law allows for specific development and operating standards for emergency
shelters in addition to requiring automatic approval (i.e “by right”).
Proposed development and operating standards for emergency shelters are proposed
including maximum number of beds for persons permitted to be served nightly,
requirements for off-street parking, size and location of on-site waiting and client intake
areas, provision for on-site management, proximity to other emergency shelters, length of
stay, lighting, security during hours that the shelter is in operation, occupancy and income
restrictions, minimum room sizes, and open space requirements. The proposed Code
Amendment will permit Emergency Shelters by right with up to 30 occupants in the
Commercial Office (CO), Commercial General (CG), Community Shopping (CS) and
Commercial Manufacturing (CM) zones and by Conditional Use Permit with occupants
greater than 30 in those zones. Emergency Shelters will be prohibited in all residential
zones unless incidental to a religious facility which requires a Conditional Use Permit.
The proposed Text Amendments will be consistent with the City’s General Plan, including
the Housing Element Update currently in progress. The City’s Housing Element update will
not be approved by the State without these zoning amendments in place. Staff has
conferred with City Attorney and the City’s Housing Element Consultant expert in drafting
the amendments.
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

program
PROPERTY LOCATION :
6165-6195 Auto Center Drive/6261 Western Ave.
GENERAL PLAN/ZONING DESIGNATIONS:
COMMERCIAL/ACSP (AUTO CENTER
SPECIFIC PLAN)
LAND USE CHARACTERISTICS:
The subject properties are vacant. The properties to the North are zoned ACSP and are
primarily vacant, but used for new car storage, and also includes the building formerly occupied
by Park Auto Glass. The properties to the east are zoned ACSP and developed commercially.
The properties to the west are zoned ACSP and developed with the Carmax automobile
dealership. To the south is the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway.
RECOMMENDATION:
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2
Planning Commission Staff Report
Page 2
Background:
The subject properties will comprise an irregularly shaped site with a total of approximately 2.95
acres located southwest of Auto Center Dr. and Western Ave. with street frontages of
approximately 610 ft. and 135 ft. respectively. Portions of the subject site were previously
developed with commercial and industrial uses, including Ozz Restaurant, The Villa Motel,
Verne’s Welding, and Frank’s Automotive, as well as a former public street, Mission St. All the
above ground improvements have been removed and the site is vacant. Portions of the
properties and the former public street were incorporated into the widened and reconfigured I-5
Freeway. Properties residual to the freeway widening were acquired by the former City
Redevelopment Agency. In addition, Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) is selling
properties residual to the freeway widening to the City’s Successor Agency to allow site
consolidation and sale to the applicant for development of the new automobile dealership. The
dealership has been operating as Premier Chevrolet at 6692 Auto Center Drive since
September 2012 and will relocate to the site when construction is complete.
On April 10, 2012, the City Council approved Specific Plan Amendment No. SPC12-001
amending the Auto Center Specific Plan to change the Sub-District classifications from A-3 to
A-1 for ACSP properties generally located on the west side of Western Ave. between Artesia
Blvd. and Interstate 5 Freeway as well as minor modifications to the “Permitted Uses” in SubDistrict A-1. The purpose of the Amendment was to provide further direction for preferred
development and land use of the former Redevelopment Project Area properties and coordinate
with City marketing and revitalization efforts for the ACSP area. As prescribed in the General
Plan, the Auto Center Specific Plan was originally adopted in 1997 to encourage new
dealerships and coordinate continuing expansion of existing auto dealers concentrated adjacent
to the I-5 Freeway. The primary objective was to create a regional auto center, based on
superior accessibility and visibility, with design components to unify the Auto Center image while
providing the opportunity for expression of individual dealership identity.
Proposal:
The submittal and plans propose development and operation of a 40,572 sq. ft. new and used
automobile dealership, including vehicle and related servicing and repair, sales showroom, parts
department, administrative and sales offices, outdoor display area, and associated signs. The
building will be adjacent to Auto Center Drive within the northwest portion of the site, with the
rear of the building facing the I-5 Freeway. The remainder of the site will be primarily for
inventory display as well as employee and customer parking for a total of 205 spaces.
Vehicle access will be provided from three driveways along Auto Center Drive, including a
service access driveway directly into the building and vehicle circulation around the building.
The main pedestrian entry to the building will be from the east parking field, adjacent to the
customer parking area. Landscape setback improvements along Auto Center Drive and
Western Avenue will include groupings of palms, flowering shrubs, groundcover, and turf as well
as the signature “Buena Park Auto Center” raised concrete vehicle display pads and signs.
Display vehicles will also be featured along the Auto Center Drive building elevation. Trees will
be located within the vehicle inventory display and customer parking area. Preliminary sign
concept designs have been included, including freeway pylon and wall signs, for subsequent
review and approval by staff. A new decorative 8 ft. tall perimeter block wall, adjacent to the
Carmax dealership to the west, and site lighting system will be provided.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2
Page 3
The separate showroom and service department components of the building will be connected
by a covered vehicle entry driveway. Showroom first floor functions include car display, offices,
restrooms, and waiting area with second floor functions including administrative offices and
breakroom. The Service Department includes 23 automobile service bays as well as wash and
detail bays as well as parts storage. The dealership will employ approximately 60 employees.
The architecture of the showroom building is contemporary in style, including silver aluminum
composite metal panels with blue accent frame bands along the building fascia and projecting
enhanced main entry portal. The showroom building will also feature clear glass with anodized
metal frame and muted white and gray stucco panels with metal reveals. The service building
will feature metal reveals, stucco and a storefront window system.
Discussion:
City Code requires Planning Commission consideration of the proposed automobile sales facility
with associated automobile related repair and services and signs via the Conditional Use Permit
process. Staff has reviewed the proposal and plans, visited the current location, and have
concluded that the proposed development, with conditions, will enhance the site in compliance
with the goals of the City’s General Plan and Auto Center Specific Plan to promote the Auto
Center as a leading regional automobile sales destination and to encourage additional new
dealerships. In addition, based on the proposed building design, site improvements, type and
scale of operations, and continuity with similar nearby automobile dealerships developed in
compliance with ACSP requirements, the proposed development is an appropriate use of the
property.
The proposal is consistent with the Auto Center goal of automobile dealership buildings, site
development, and land use in coordination with ACSP development standards for architectural
and site design, including landscaping, access, circulation, and parking, to enhance the
appearance of the Auto Center Specific Plan area and economic vitality of the City. As
proposed, the design and operation of the dealership will be compatible with other dealerships
in the area as well as with nearby properties. No residences are adjacent to the development
site. The contemporary design of the dealership features attractive building massing, forms,
materials, details, and colors. Logical configuration of the site, attractive on-site landscaping,
and enhanced streetscape design also contribute to an attractive cohesive appearance
consistent with other dealerships in the ACSP area.
Appropriate vehicle circulation with sufficient parking and display area will be provided to assure
safe and convenient access and egress. A total of 205 on-site parking and display spaces are
provided, including 10 customer parking spaces, which exceeds Code requirements. Customer
parking is also permitted on Auto Center Dr. adjacent to the development site. The building and
site configuration will provide efficient on-site circulation, including sufficient on-site car delivery
and off-loading area. Signs will be designed to appropriately integrate with the building and site
theme in a manner consistent with area standards. Overall, the proposed dealership design and
configuration promotes optimum utilization of the compact site. As proposed, the architectural
and site design for the development will include high quality materials and features to create an
attractive development consistent with other area dealerships while promoting a distinct
separate identity consistent with applicable ACSP policies and standards as well as General
Plan goals and objectives.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 3
Page 2
RECOMMENDATION:
APPLICATION ANALYSIS:
Background:
The property under application is located on the southeast corner of Crescent and Grand
Avenues, with street frontages of 154 ft. along Crescent Avenue and 173 ft. along Grand
Avenue, with a total land area of 26,642 sq. ft. The property is developed with a Valero
automobile service station including a 495 sq. ft. market and 1,260 sq. ft. smog check facility as
well fueling canopies, which was originally approved by the Planning Commission in 1966 via
Site Plan No. SP-393. The site is currently legal-non-conforming to current City Code standards
for required landscape setbacks along the two street frontages as well as along the east
property line.
Proposal:
The submitted application and plans propose expansion of the existing service station
convenience market to 1,530 sq. ft. including 215 sq. ft. addition and converting an 820 sq. ft.
service bay and establishment of the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption with
architectural and site improvements.
The proposed gasoline station will continue to be operated as a Valero service station with a
single service bay to be operated as a smog test only facility. The gasoline station, including
the convenience market, will be open 24 hours per day and will employ three employees per
shift with three shifts a day. The interior of the expanded convenience market has been
designed to maintain walk-in coolers, a storage room, merchandise sales area, office/utility
room, and unisex restroom. The convenience market will provide typical convenience store
items including beverages, prepackaged food, and other snacks. The applicant is proposing to
establish the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption ancillary to the operation of the
previously approved service station and convenience store. The beer and wine will be located
within the walk-in cooler. The applicant is requesting the sale of beer and wine during the hours
authorized by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control which are between the
hours of 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. daily.
The submitted plans propose to convert two existing service bays totaling 820 sq. ft. into part of
the existing convenience market. The existing service bay doors located at the rear of the
building will be filled in to allow for the convenience market expansion. The building will also
include a new 215 sq. ft. addition on the south side of the building in order to accommodate the
new walk-in coolers. The new addition will be integrated into the enhanced design of the
building. Once completed, all metal exterior elevations will be covered and the renovated
building including addition and service bay conversion will maintain a tan stuccoed exterior with
bisque colored trim, decorative stacked stone wainscot veneer along the base of the building
and along the canopy supports. The building will maintain a new storefront facing Crescent
Avenue, including new double door entry and storefront windows to match the existing
storefront, with new red fabric awnings along the north and east elevations and decorative
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3
Page 3
gooseneck lighting fixtures. The submitted plans also show new signage along the north
elevation of the building attached to the building fascia depicting “Smog √“ and ”Food Mart”.
The existing fueling canopies will be painted to complement the convenience store building.
The fueling canopies will continue to provide shelter for six (6) fueling stations.
The proposed 1,530 sq. ft. convenience store is located toward the center of the property
maintaining a 65 ft. setback from Crescent Avenue, 60 ft. setback from Grand Avenue, 70 ft.
setback from the south property line, and 36 ft. setback from the east property line. The
remaining 440 sq. ft. smog check facility will be located on the east side of the convenience
store with service bay access from the rear of the property. The existing fueling canopies will
remain in their current configuration.
The site currently maintains two driveways along Crescent Avenue and two driveways along
Grand Avenue. The submitted plans propose elimination of a driveway along Crescent Avenue
and modification of a driveway along Grand Avenue into an exit-only driveway. The remaining
two driveways will be reduced in width. The existing parking lot has also been configured to
maintain 17 standard size parking spaces. 9 stalls are required by Code. Additional site
modifications include a new trash enclosure located at the southeast corner of the property, a
new 5 ft. wide landscape setback along the entire east property line, and revitalized and
expanded landscape around the modified driveways along Crescent Avenue and Grand Avenue
to include new Willow trees and enhanced ground cover.
Discussion:
City Code requires Planning Commission review and approval for the proposed convenience
market expansion with the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption via the Conditional
Use Permit process. In reviewing the applicant’s request, staff reviewed plans and visited the
property and is of the opinion that the proposed redesign and configuration of the service
station and site with expanded convenience market are adequate to support the proposed sale
of beer and wine for off-site consumption. Staff believes that the sale of beer and wine for offsite consumption is appropriate within the context of a service station convenience store and
will not negatively impact the subject and surrounding properties. Staff feels that the sale of
beer and wine as an incidental use to the gasoline station with convenience market is
compatible with the surrounding commercial neighborhood as well as an added amenity for the
multifamily residential property across the street based on limited scale and scope of business
operations. The floor plan of the convenience market has been designed to provide a suitable
location for the stock and display of beer and wine in order to provide complete control and
adequate surveillance of alcoholic beverages within the facility.
The renovated service station including the expanded convenience market will assist in
advancing the long term vision for this area along Crescent Avenue as identified in the City’s
General Plan. The property is located directly across from Knott’s Berry Farm toward the
southerly entry to the Entertainment Corridor Focus Area which is envisioned as a pedestrianfriendly and tourist-oriented destination that connects Knott’s Berry Farm to other visitor-serving
uses along Beach Boulevard and surrounding corridors. The renovated service station and
convenience market will help to serve tourists as well as the surrounding neighborhood by
providing added amenities and services in a quick one-stop location.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3
Page 4
The project design complies with all City Code requirements for building setbacks, access,
circulation, parking, and building design except for required 20 ft. landscape setbacks adjacent
to streets. Due to the existing building location and on-site circulation, the existing 5 ft. to 10 ft.
landscape setback adjacent to the street cannot be increased. The project however includes
new and revitalized landscaping along Crescent and Grand Avenues and a new 5 ft. wide
landscape setback along the east property line in order to bring the site as close to compliance
with Code as possible while maintaining the existing building configuration, access, and
circulation. Additionally, the elimination of one driveway along Crescent Avenue and the
modification of one driveway along Grande Avenue to exit only will help create safer ingress
and egress to the site by moving cars and traffic further from the intersection and corner of the
property. As part of the proposal, the applicant is proposing a revised site design to include 17
parking spaces in order to comply with Code requirements.
In regards to building architecture, the site is located within the Beach/Crescent Architectural
Overlay zone which encourages modern interpretation of building design to create
complementary architectural integration. Staff feels that the proposed renovated building
including architectural enhancements such as new stucco exterior finish, stacked stone veneer,
new fabric awnings, as well as decorative lighting complements other buildings in the area while
meeting the Beach/Crescent Architectural Overlay zone criteria. The architectural design and
color of the building will also be included on the fueling service canopies to create architectural
integration. However, the proposed signs on the building fascia are not permitted by Code.
Signs are not permitted to be installed on building fascias or roofs. Signs will be required to be
installed on the wall of the building and approved under a separate permit.
The Buena Park Police Department reviewed the request to include the sale of beer and wine
for off-site consumption ancillary to the operation of the service station and convenience store.
Although initially concerned about the location of the market directly across the street from
multi-family residential development and Knott’s Berry Farm, the Police Department indicated
that with proper conditions, including a security plan and limiting the sales of alcohol to
prepackaged beverages only with no single can or bottle sales permitted, the business
operation would provide a neighborhood convenience. As conditioned to assure security, the
Police Department concluded that they had no objection to the applicant’s request.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

Notice of public hearing was posted at City Hall, the Buena Park Library, and Ehlers Community
Recreation Center on May 30, 2013, and 21 notices were mailed to property owners within a
300 ft. radius of the subject property on May 30, 2013.
