GATEWAY CENTRE ~~3 ~ r~ I AGENDA ITEMS M I NUT E S CITY COUNCIL OF THE CTY OF ARCADIA and the ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 3, 1989 ~he City Council and the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency met in an Adjourned Regular Meeting at 7:00 p. m., Tuesday October 3, 1989 in the Conference Room of the Arcadia City Hall Council Chambers. PRESENT: ABSENT: Councilmembers Gilb, Harbicht, Lojeski, Young and Chandler None In response to the request of the Council of Mayors suggesting each City send funds to aid the hurricane victims of Charleston, South Carolina, Council considered the matter ... no action was taken on behalf of the City. The Planning Commission at its September 26 meeting voted to approve C.U.P. 89-015, to construct and operate an Olive Garden Restaurant containing 9,200 square feet at the Arcadia Gateway Centre (Gribble Development/Southside Huntington). The restaurant was approved subject to conditions. A resolution is prepared for adoption at the Commission's October 10, 1989 meeting. In reference to this, Councilmember Lojeski expressed his concerns of the parking situation ... one concession has already been given to the developer and now they are asking for another ... also a restaurant that is a third larger than originally proposed. Councilmember Lojeski questioned whether Council would also be willing to make concessions to a future developer who may also ask for park- ing concessions. Staff explained that under the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission, the developer must keep 4,000 square feet of the proposed office building to the south of the restaurant vacant until the developer provides a parking study indicating that they have a 5% parking space vacancy within the area north of the office building and retail building and/or within 200 feet of the restaurant pads. Also before the 5% parking spaces can be used, the office building and the retail building would have to each be 90% occupied. If these requirements are not met then the City does not have to release the 4,000 square feet of vacant office space. Council noted that staff would have to monitor the situation to determine if the 5% vacancy rate is maintained. Staff commented that Council has received all the information that had gone before the Planning Commission; the resolution will be before the Commission for adoption October 10 and will contain all the conditions after which Council may appeal if they wish to do so. Councilmember Lojeski reported that although he will not be in attendance at the October 17 Council meeting, he will appeal C.U.P. 89-015.
