developed. Insofar as what this Ordinance speaks to is, when we are talking about development we are talking about use here." City Attorney Schricker said the adjoining lot did not have to have any development on it. He added "I think it is fair for the Council to take into consideration the use of the property even though the Ordinance says residential development. If property is used as a residence.... The question before you is, mID' not that be viewed as a residential development. By residence I mean property that is occupied essentially 24-hours a day as a home place for the occupant.... I think you are entitled to use a definition which is practical and reasonable. A strained definition is to speak in tenus of residential developments merely as.... house after house after house after house, in other words a development of residences. I think it is fair to interpret this Ordinance to say a residential development as opposed to a development of residences. A fine distinction." In response to Council questions, Mr. Tom Saberi said he had twelve stations and they all had more than two gas pump islands. In response to Council questions, Mr. Tom Saberi said the owners/operators of the Woodside Gas Mart would agree to fixing the fence, operate between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 11 p.m., and make minor adjustments to the lighting. Mr. Andy Saberi described how they planned to reduce the glare of the current lighting, and agreed to add landscaping to comply with the City's requirements. Council Asked Mr. Andy Saberi to submit lighting and landscaping plans to which Mr. Saberi replied "no problem." Mr. Andy Saberi complained to the Council that City staff had singled his station out for sign code violations, but agreed to comply with the City's signage requirements. Michael Phillips displayed and described the petitions and cards submitted to the Council over the past month. MEMO 11/5/96 In response to Council questions, Director Jany described why cars utilizing the 3'd island could not drive around the building as an egress, discussed the safety and congestion issues involved with ingress and egress on Horgan and the loss of stacking ability because of that 3nJ island. Director Jany said had the plans for the 3'd island been brought to the Planning Department before they went ahead and built it, a pennit for a 3nJ island would have been denied on safety grounds, as that station is on an undersized lot as it is (11,000 instead of 20,000.)
