The
crp
request
is
for
a
type
20
license
to
sell
beer
and
wine
for
offside
consumption
from
the
existing
convenience
store.
Alcohol
sales
are
permitted
at
this
location,
upon
approval
of
a
cep
as
request,
as
required
by
section
10-1-116,
subsection
1
of
the
burbank
municipal
code.
The
chevron
gas
station
convenience
store
is
not
proposing
any
alterations
or
additions
to
the
site.
H
The
cup
would
allow
the
applicant
to
continue
operation
of
the
existing
convenience
store,
while
adding
beer
and
wine
sales
for
offsite
consumption
as
an
ancillary
component
of
their
business.
The
existing
convenience
store
operates
24
hours
a
day
and
seven
days
a
week.
The
overall
store
would
continue
to
up
to
operate
within
these
hours.
However,
the
alcohol
sales
would
be
limited
to
specified
hours,
which
will
be
outlined
later
in
the
presentation.
As
part
of
the
discussion
of
the
recommended
conditions
of
approval.
H
H
H
H
Based
on
staff's
analysis,
the
cep
request
is
compatible
in
the
neighborhood
character
and
surrounding
commercial
uses
which
are
made
up
of
restaurants
and
various
retail
uses.
The
alcohol
sales
would
be
ancillary
use
inside
the
chevron
gas
station
convenience
store.
There
are
not
any
interior
or
exterior
changes
to
the
convenience
store
being
proposed.
With
this
cup.
H
For
a
conditional
use
permit
to
allow
sale
of
beer
and
wine
for
off-site
consumption
through
a
type
20
license
at
the
existing
chevron,
gas
station
and
convenience

located
located
at
140

based
on
the
findings

B
I
Yes,
good
evening,
my
name
is
sheri
olsen
on
behalf
of
gm
oil
and
thank
you,
chair
and
commissioners.
I
appreciate
the
time
tonight
to
present
this
item.
Just
a
little
history
of
gm
oil
in
the
city
of
burbank
this
site.
Back
in
late
2018,
we
tore
down
the
existing
building
and
rebuilt
a
beautiful,
freestanding
extra
mile
store.
I
We
put
new
tanks
in
we
put
new
dispensers
in
at
that
time
and
built
a
beautiful
store
for
the
community
to
to
part.
You
know
to
partake
in
we
spent
at
least
200.
Excuse
me
2.3
million
dollars
at
that
location,
we're
currently
undergoing
another
location
and
burbank
at
2501,
west
olive
avenue
as
where
we're
going
to
be
investing
another
three
million
dollars
into
that
site
as
well,
so
we're
pretty
vested
into
the
city
of
burbank.
I
We
do
have
a
lot
of
security
measures
in
place.
We
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
security
cameras
at
our
all
of
our
locations,
at
least
over
30..
We
do
provide
lockable
cooler
doors.
We
have
a
security
cameras
on
the
canopies,
as
well
as
the
interior
exterior
all
around
and,
as
you
can
tell
by
the
interior,
our
cooler
doors
are
closest
to
the
cashier
and
they're
limited
and
they're
lockable,
and
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
for
us.
B
Well,
thank
you
so
much.
We
will
now
open
the
meeting
up
to
hear
from
any
person
who
wish
to
speak
on
this
matter.
Each
person
may
address
the
planning
board
for
a
maximum
time
of
three
minutes
to
address
the
planning
board.
Please
call

few
minutes,
to
get
the
first
callers
through.
D
B
H
B
C
I
B
B
C
All
right,
I'd
like
to
propose
a
resolution
of
the
planning
board,
the
city
of
burbank,
approving
a
conditional
use
permit
for
project
number,
21-000
5726
and
a
determination
of
public
convenience
and
necessity
allowing
the
incidental
sale
of
beer
and
wine
for
off-site
consumption
of
an
existing
chevron.
Gas
station
and
convenience
store
located
at
140
east

Based
on
the
findings
of
fact
and
subject
to
the
recommendation,
recommended
conditions
of
approval.
B
A
B
B
B
This
item
was
continued
from
the
april
11
2022
planning
board
meeting
due
to
time
and
technical
limitations
that
would
have
eliminated
the
ability
of
the
public
to
participate
in
public
comment
period
of
the
hearing.
Before
we
begin
do
any
planning
board
members
have
any
legal
or
other
conflict
of
interest
relating
to
this
hearing.
B
J
Hi,
thank
you
hi
good
evening.
Vice
chair
rizzotti
and
members
of
the
planning
board.
My
name
is
amanda
landry,
I'm
a
senior
planner
in
the
planning
division
I'll
be
presenting
this
item
on
behalf
of
associate
planner
john
joseph
onyabuchi,
who
was
unable
to
be
here
tonight
due
to
an
illness
tonight.
The
board
is
being
asked
to
consider
a
request
for
development
review
and
a
variance
for
the
proposed
reconstruction
of
an
electrical
distribution
center
at
228
south
naomi
street.
In
the
mdc3
zone.
J
In
this
aerial
view
of
the
project
site,
you
can
see
that
the
surrounding
development
consists
of
multi-story
garage
structures,
surface
garage,
surface
parking
areas
and
larger
commercial
buildings.
The
site
itself
is
developed
with
one
single
story:
building
and
a
large
area
of
outdoor
electrical
equipment.
J
J
J
A
variance
is
a
request
to
deviate
from
the
current
zoning
requirements
when
the
property
owner
can
demonstrate
that,
under
the
prevailing
ordinance,
a
hardship
which
is
out
of
their
control
and
unique
to
the
property,
prevents
them
from
the
full
development
and
use
of
that
property,
and
the
four
variance
requests
relate
to
building
setbacks,
site
landscaping,
fences
and
walls
and
the
location
of
the
trash
bin.
I'll
be
going
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
for
each
of
these
variances
in
the
coming
slides.
J
So
for
the
first
variance
request,
which
is
a
request
to
have
a
zero
foot
setback
and
a
two
foot
setbacks
on
the
two
street
facing
frontages
instead
of
the
five-foot
required
setback
and
the
reason
the
applicant
has
indicated
this
request
is
necessary
is
because,
as
part
of
this
development,
the
applicant
is
required
to
provide
certain
dedications
along
willow
street
and
nor
south
naomi
street,
which
reduces
the
buildable
area
of
the
lot.
Those
dedications
are
required
to
improve
the
sidewalk
and
parkway.
J
J
J
J
J
The
applicant
is
requested
12
feet
because
this
is
necessary
to
properly
secure
the
site
and
the
site
does
have
long
frontages
along
willow
and
south
naomi,
and
it
needs
to
be
secured
from
the
public.
The
height
is
also
necessary
to
screen
the
inside
of
the
site
from
the
public
view
to
ensure
a
comfortable
pedestrian
environment.
J
J
J
Based
on
the
information
I
provided
in
the
last
few
slides
staff
believes
that
the
project
satisfies
the
four
findings
that
are
required
in
order
to
approve
a
variance,
and
these
generally
pertain
to
the
unusual
shape
and
size
of
the
site.
The
very
unique
use
of
the
site
that
was
previously
approved
by
the
city
and
the
need
to
provide
a
critical
infrastructure
to
the
surrounding
community,
which
is
consistent
with
the
land,
use
goals
and
policies
of
the
general
plan.
J
This
project
was
publicly
noticed
in
several
different
ways.
The
a
newspaper
notice
was
published,
an
on-site
sign
was
installed,
public
notice
was
mailed
to
all
residents
and
property
owners
within
a
thousand
feet
of
the
project
site.
A
public
notice
was
also
mailed
to
all
of
those
same
owners
when
the
draft
environmental
documents
were
released
and
a
community
meeting
was
held
on
wednesday
march
30th
to
2022.
J
This
project
is
also
subject
to
sequa
and
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
california
environmental
quality
act.
An
initial
study
and
m
d
was
prepared
and
that
document
was
made
available
to
the
public
from
february
23rd
to
march
25th
2022
and
no
comments
or
no
substantial
comments
were
received.
J
As
part
of
this
document,
a
mitigation
monitoring
and
reporting
program
has
also
been
prepared,
and
it
includes
best
practices
and
standard
mitigation
measures
to
ensure
the
protection
of
nesting
birds,
a
hazardous
manage
hazardous
materials
management
program
and
to
ensure
that
any
tribal
cultural
resources
are
appropriately
addressed.
If
found
during
the
development
of
the
project.
J
Based
on
the
information
in
the
staff
report
and
given
in
this
presentation,
staff
recommends
that
the
planning
board
make
a
motion
to
adopt
the
two
resolutions
that
are
attached
to
the
staff
report.
And
those
two
resolutions
pertain
to
the
adoption
of
the
initial
study
and
mnd
and
the
associated
mmrp.
The
mitigation
monitoring
and
reporting
program.
B
K
All
right
good
evening,
vice
chair
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
your
time
tonight.
My
name
is
michael
wang.
I'm
the
project
manager
for
the
willow
substation.
I
work
over
at
burbank
water
power
and
tonight
I'll
go
over
some
aspects
of
the
project
with
you
just
so
that
you
know
what
we're
planning
to
do.
There.
K
K
You
can
see
it
very
obviously
there
and
then
from
the
street.
On
the
bottom
view,
you
can
also
see
some
equipment
in
the
background.
Here's
a
street
view
from
the
naomi
street
side.
This
substation
was
constructed,
like
I
said
in
1970,
so
that
puts
it
at
about
52
years
and
most
of
the
equipment.
There
is
reaching
its
end
of
life,
and
so
it's
about
due
to
be
replaced,
and
so
we
have
plans
to
replace
it
with
a
new
substation
and
we'll
be
calling
it
willow
substation.
K
K
Have
about
three
and
a
half
times
the
power
capacity
for
the
surrounding
area?
That
includes
a
lot
of
the
large
commercial
customers
in
the
area,
the
hospital,
the
media
district.
In
addition,
the
substation
will
help
to
relieve
some
of
the
other
substations
in
the
surrounding
areas
of
the
city
and
provide
additional
capacity
in
that
way
as
well.
B
B
B
F
Michael
I'm
always
concerned
about
fire
and
because
especially
we're
dealing
with
a
plan
that
you're
tripling
the
power
here,
and
I
was
wondering
how
and
again
this
is
because
I'm
a
little
bit
of
a
newbie
here.
How
does
the
fire
department
burbank
fire
department,
weigh
in
on
something
like
this,
because
I
will
tell
you,
I
have
seen
transformer
fires
and
they're
a
very
humbling
experience.
F
K
Yeah
definitely
we
have
consulted
with
the
fire
department
on
this
project,
in
addition
to
previous
projects
that
are
similar
to
this
one
and
we've
solicited
their
opinion.
As
far
as
fire
suppression
systems
for
the
buildings,
the
main
concerns,
probably
for
a
substation
when
you're
talking
about
fire
is
anything
arc
related,
and
so
the
biggest
risk
you
would
have
is
open
air
style
substations.
K
E
K
E
F
G
Believe
as
a
I
want
to
say
as
an
alternative,
but
what
forestry
focused
on
was
vegetative
ground
cover
and
then
also
some
screening
as
far
as
on
the
building
on
the
walls
of
the
building,
so
I
think
in
lieu
of
additional
trees
that
could
potentially
limit
pedestrian
pathways
and
potentially
encroach
into
the
footings
of
the
walls
that
are
part
of
the
primary
structure.
This
was
kind
of
the
alternate
solution
to
get
some
shade
along
the
perimeter,
but
do
it
in
such
a
way
that
it
doesn't
potentially
impact
operations
in
the
long
term.
B
B
C
Connie,
yes,
I
think,
under
the
circumstances,
when
you
have
a
a
substation
that
dates
back
to
1970,
I
think
that's
probably
more
of
a
hazard
or
a
problem,
perhaps
than
one
that
we're
going
to
be
just
building
a
new
substation,
where
it's
going
to
be
providing
services
for
the
coming
years,
many
years
to
come.
So
I
think
these
are
small
adjustments.
C
I
would
say
that
need
to
be
made
in
order
to
make
this
a
reality,
instead
of
trying
to
uproot
the
entire
location
and
now
trying
to
find
a
new
location
to
see
if
that
location
and
and
the
time
that
it
will
require
and
the
resources
that
it
requires
to
go
through
that
process.
So
I
think
these
are
not
major
requests
or
variances,
and
I
think
I'm
able
to
make
the
findings
and
support
the
project
as
presented.
C
C
A
request
for
development
review
to
construct
an
unmanned
electrical
distribution
facility
with
a
new
control
room,
new
transformers
and
other
related
equipment,
as
well
as
variants
to
allow
the
following
one:
a
reduction
of
the
minimum
setback
requirement
two
to
construct
a
12
foot
tall
wall,
rather
than
the
maximum
eight
feet
currently
allowed.
Three:
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
trees
required
in
the
front
and
side
yards
of
non-residential
uses
and
four
relief
from
the
requirements
to
locate
and
screen
trash
means
to
provide
zero
trash
bins
for
the
property
at
228,
south
naomi
street.

Thank
you
vice
chair
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
your
time
tonight.
On
the
continued
item.
I
wanted
to
just
bring
to
your
attention
that
on
may
9th
there
is
an
agendaized
item.
It's
the
update
to
the
city's
development
impact
fees,
which
are
actually
incorporated
into
our
zoning
code,
so
it'll
be
coming
before
the
board,
with
some
consideration
of
a
recommendation
to
the
council
on
this
item.

In
addition,
may
9th
would
be
the
first
date
upon
which
the
board
is
anticipated
to
be
in
council
chambers
here
at
the
dyess
with
vice
chair.
So
I
wanted
to
bring
that
to
your
attention.
So
at
that
meeting
it
would
be
the
full
board
in
attendance
with
city
staff,
but
no
actual
public.
The
public
would
still
be
participating
virtually
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
would
be
taking
still
phone
input.

No,
the
public
is
invited
to
attend
the
meeting
in
person
or
to
view
the
meeting
at
all
at
home,
online
and
and
you'll
be
able
to
to
call
in
for
for
that
feature.
So
the
three
ways
are
in
person
at
the
appropriate
time
during
the
meeting
by
leaving
an
e-comment
on
the
city
webpage
