5. BUSINESS
A. Chairman Thornburgh introduced the first item of business as Plot Plan
No. 84-068, a request to construct a single-family dwelling on the west
side of Avenida Diaz, 300' south of Calle Temecula; Rick and Laurie
Johnson, Applicants. He then called for the staff report.
1. Community Development Director Lawrence L. Stevens reported that
this is a typical house proposed by Mr. Johnson and which the
A.
Can -mission has approved in the past. It is a 1592 square foot,
three -bedroom house and meets all the required City standards.
Director Stevens noted one point brought out in the staff report
is whether or not the asphalt shingle proposed by the Applicant
is compatible with surrounding houses which all have either the
or rock roofing materials. Staff recommends that the roof covering
be changed to rock, gravel or tile. If the Commission should agree
that the asphalt shingle material is appropriate, Condition No. 10
will be deleted. 'therefore, Staff recommends approval of Plot Plan
No. 84-068 based on findings in the staff report.
After sane discussion addressing the question of maintaining
consistency, the Commission determined that the Applicant should
submit samples of the asphalt shingle to the Community Development
Department for approval before permits are issued.
Director Stevens added that Staff should therefore modify the
application requirements and request that the Applicant provide
us with a colors and materials board or something similar as part
of the application so they can be reviewed for the characteristics
the Commission is interested in.
Chairman 'Thornburgh called for a motion.
2. Commissioner Goetcheus made the motion based upon the findings in
the staff report to approve Plot Plan No. 84-068 in accordance with
Exhibits A, B and C and subject to the attached conditions, as
amended. Commissioner Walling seconded the motion. Unanimously

° Phase 3 (When Avenue 58 frontage is developed)
- 3/4 improvement to Avenue 58 frontage.
• Phase 4 (When Airport Boulevard frontage and Madison Street
frontage south of Airport Boulevard is developed.)
- 3/4 improvement to Airport Boulevard frontage.
- Full improvement to Madison frontage south of Airport
Boulevard.
- 3/4 improvement to Jefferson Street between Avenues 52
and 54.
Director Stevens stated that we do not generally have problems with
phasing plans and feels the only problem we may have to address is
the timing of the closure of Jefferson Street between Avenues 52 and
54 will probably be moved up. We will evaluate that with the first
set of tentative maps or parcel maps that will occur on the project.
We will try to tie that into either the opening of the golf courses
for a certain level of play or the construction of a certain number
of units as opposed to other improvements of the project.
Director Stevens noted that the staff report made mention of a number
of agencies that we had requested comments from and who had not replied.
Since the report was prepared, we have received comments from the
Coachella Valley Water District and. Southern California Gas Company.
They both indicated no problems were seen from their facilities or
that their concerns are being met by the Applicant as a result of other
meetings.
In closing, Director Stevens stated that the abandonment of these
specified segments of Jefferson and Airport are consistent with the
circulation element since as part of the Specific Plan, the General
Plan was amended to delete those roads from the circulation element.
As a result, Staff reccmnend.s that the Planning Ccmmu.ssion adopt
Resolution No. P.C. 84-1 determining that the abandonment is
consistent with the General Plan for the reasons specified in that
Resolution.
After a brief discussion, Chairman Thornburgh called for a motion.
2. Commissioner Klimkiewicz made a motion to adopt Resolution No.
P.C. 84-1. Commissioner Walling seconded the motion. Unanimously
Adopted.
Community Development Director Stevens informed the Planning Commission that the
public hearing for the road abandonment is scheduled to go before the City Council
on September 18, at which time they will consider the formal abandonment in
addition to the Commission's recommendation on consistency. He stated that the
confirmation hearing for Annexation No. 2 is also scheduled for that meeting.
6. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further items of agenda to cone before the Planning Commission,
Chairman Thornburgh called for a motion to adjourn.
