Ms. Sally Gallagher, applicant representing CHOC Hospital, in addition, Boys and Girls Club Board members, John Brewster, and Dave Prizzio, Sr., spoke in favor of the project. Manuel Ballesteno, Neighborhood representative, provided comments in support of the project. Mr. Prizzio requested that the Commission amend the plan on the floor and consider approval of the first phase of the project, which consisted of constructing only 1,400 square feet or half of the proposed total structure. The request would enable the Boys and Girls Club to maintain additional open space in the existing soccer fields which would have been converted to required parking. Several of the Commission asked for clarification of the specific use of the project and asked how the proposed modifications as requested by Mr. Prizzio might alter the site plan. Mr. Adams informed the Commission it would be inappropriate to vote on an amended site plan since without staff having the opportunity to analyze the requested modification requested by the applicant. He requested that the Commission grant a two week continuance to allow staff additional time to review the modified proposal and provide additional language, which would clarify the uses at the site.
