PUBLIC HEARING - TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP CASE NO. 92-507, SUBDIVISION OF
A 3.2 ACRE PARCEL AT 1101 HUASNA ROAD, APPLICANT IS BOB BOWEN
Current Planner Scott Spierling stated that the reason for requesting a continuance on this item
was because the City Attorney required more time regarding the legal implications on the
riparian rights.
Chairman Soto asked the audience if there was anyone that objected to this continuance. With
no objection from the audience, a motion was made by Commissioner Tappan, seconded by
Commissioner Reilly, and unanimously carried to continue this item until February 16, 1993.
NON - PUBLIC HEARING ITEM - REQUEST FOR INTERPRETATION OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AT 1069 EL CAMINO REAL, APPLICANT ROB AND
LORI GILLESPIE
Current Planner Scott Spierling briefed the Commission on this item. Then Chairman Soto
opened the public hearing.
Lori Gillespie, 345 Tally Ho Road, Arroyo Grande, stated the reasons she felt the Conditional
Use Permit was not necessary were that the property is used only for parking and overnight
storage of trucks and that the small prefab unit on the property was for storing equipment
overnight to prevent rusting. She stated this unit was temporary and would be removed
whenever they vacated the premises.
Rob Gillespie, 345 Tally Ho Road, Arroyo Grande, stated some reasons that he felt the
Conditional Use Permit should not be required, and that the cost it would involve would be
burdensome to their business at this time.
The Planning Commission queried both applicants and discussed this item among themselves.
As no improvements had been made, no retail sales would be involved, and the use was not
more intensive, it was agreed this permit was not necessary, but certain limitations should be
included in the resolution.
A motion was made by Commissioner Carr moved to approve the resolution with the following
modifications. Item 1 to have the words "landscape and maintenance" deleted. An Item 3 to
be added: A Conditional Use Permit will be required if any of the following occur: a. Public
utility improvements; b. construction requiring a Building Permit; c. employee parking
exceeding 12 vehicles; d. retail sales; and e. storage of materials or fuels. The following action
was taken:
