ITEM#1
SA-95-14/E-96-06
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO EXPAND (676 square feet) THE
EXISTING ARCO STATION
ALI YASIN, BUSINESS OWNER
22087 BARTON ROAD, GRAND TERRACE, CA 92313
Staff report was presented by Director Materassi. She explained the Planning
Commission previously approved an expansion of 676 square feet to Mr. Yasin's ARCO
Station. Mr. Yasin has not done the expansion however he has completed most of the
Conditions of Approval required to be completed before the expansion. The purpose of
this hearing is for Mr. Yasin to request a one-year extension to complete the Conditions
of Approval and obtain his building permit. She gave him extensions of time as
permitted by her authority, however she cannot give him any further extension. The
major conditions Mr. Yasin has complied with are as follows:
1. Dedication for land at the intersection of Barton Rd. and Michigan St. for street
improvements;
2. Paid $8,000 toward a street improvement plan on Michigan;
3. Plans were revised to eliminate the propane refill tank;
4. SCAQMD's requirement to replace underground tanks;
5. Pump islands were relocated at a diagonal to facilitate circulation in the station;
and
6. A sign program for the station has been submitted.
One outstanding condition which remains to be satisfied relates to the 10' strip of
property on the south side of Mr. Yasin's property. He will need to lease or purchase
that property from the owner.
Staff recommended the Planning Commission approve one final extension of one year
to expand the ARCO Station.
Commissioner Ferre' asked what would happen if a one year extension is approved but
Mr. Yasin does not complete what is required of him within that year. Director
Materassi said Mr. Yasin would need to file a new application, pay the fee and the
process would begin anew, and he would need to comply with the codes in existence at
that time.
Chairwoman Van Gelder asked applicant or his representative if they wished to
address the Commission.

HOSSEIN ZAND
Architect/Engineer for Mr. Yasin
He said applicant will appreciate a one year extension. He said the applicant
needs to do the expansion in conjunction with the street improvements at
Michigan St. and Barton Rd. The corner monument sign will be relocated at that
time when the curb is moved in a westerly direction.
Director Materassi said the street improvement plans are currently being prepared by
an engineer under contract. When the plans are ready the City will call for bids then
build the street improvements. If Mr. Yasin does the station expansion in conjunction
with the street improvements there will be only one disruption to his business. Director
said the street improvement plans may be finished in approximately 1 month. She said
the installation of street improvements will likely be finished in approximately 9-12
months. Mr. Yasin needs to submit plans for a building permit by December 15, 2000.
