PUBLIC HEARING (CONT.) - TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 983, 139, 141, 143, AND 145 TALLY
HO ROAD, RESUBDIVISION OF FOUR (4) EXISTING PARCELS INTO SIX (6) PARCELS (L. C.
LAVINE)
Contract Planner, John Ashbaugh, reviewed Staff Report dated April 17,
1990. The Staff Advisory Committee recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
a resolution denying Tenative Tract Map No983 based on the findings for denial
in the staff report dated April 17, 1990.
Upon being assured by the Planning Commission Clerk that public hearing for
Tentative Tract Map No. 983, had been duly published and property owners
notified, Chairman Carr declared the hearing open.
JimMcGillis, San Luis Engineering, representing the applicant, stated that
they were misinformed regarding the 30 day extension agreement signed by the
applicant.
L. C. LaVine, developer of Tract 983, stated his complaints regarding
incorrect information in regards to the extension, and requested that the 30 day
extension be rescinded and a 90 day extension be granted.
Current Planner Scott Spierling clarified that the first extension that was
granted was an extension of time limits for processing a subdivision under the
Subdivision Map Act of California. The Subdivision Map Act requires agencies to
process a tentative map within 50 days of the completeness date. He pointed out
that we are dealing with two different laws; the Subdivision Map Act requires 50
days and the Permit Streamlining Act is six months and one extension. The first
extension was for the Subdivision Map Act and had nothing to do with the Permit
Streamlining Act.
Chairman Carr stated after reviewing this, he could not see any way that
the 90 day extension could replace the first 30 day extension and, in his
opinion, the alternatives are for the Commission to deny the application and the
application could appeal to the City Council, or set a special hearing to hear
this item sometime before the 29th of April.
Assistant City Attorney Finucane explained that the law allows one
extension up to a period of 90 days, and since the extension granted was only for
30 days, that is really what we have to adhere to.
After further discussion the following action was taken:
RESOLUTION NO. 90 -1290

NON- CONFORMING USE (BILLIE SWIGERT)
Current Planner Spierling reviewed the staff report dated April 17, 1990.
He noted that this application has been before the Commission before and a
Conditional Use Permit was denied based on the General Plan. The applicant
appealed the denial to the City Council and, after review, the Council has
directed staff to look at the new General Plan,and look possibly into the new
Zoning Ordinance in a way in which historic residences such as this could be
added on to and still be in conformance with the General Plan. In the meantime,
the Council directed that the architectural review come back to the Planning
Commission for review and to make recommendations to the Council. It is staff's
recommendation that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council
require the applicant to: (1) Use wood siding and casement type windows in the
construction of the addition.
After a brief discussion, on motion by Commissioner Soto, seconded by
Commissioner Gallagher, and unanimously carried, Architectural Review Case 89 -439
was approved, subject to the condition noted above.
