Commissioner Blank suggested not to use the word “transferring” and requested that <br />Ms. Harryman attempt to craft new language while the meeting continued. <br />Commissioner Narum suggested that language also be added that this be subject to the <br />approval of the Planning Commission. <br />Commissioner Blank stated that there are three things being considered here: (1) staff <br />is proposing adding language that would end the life of a use permit and create a new <br />one upon the transfer of the business to a new location; (2) staff is also proposing that <br />the phrase “another site” be added to “building or tenant suite”; and (3) the Commission <br />is proposing to add language that the process be subject to Planning Commission <br />approval. <br />Ms. Decker agreed that the word “transfer” leaves the condition open. She added that it <br />was also staff’s intent to acknowledge and inform the Planning Commission that the <br />tenants have a use permit and have been in business in the center, but now want to <br />move to a different site. <br />Commissioner Blank stated that he agreed and supported the concept and language to <br />end the life of a use permit. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. <br />Scott Murphy, applicant, indicated that he was available to answer questions. <br />Chair Olson asked Mr. Murphy if he works with hazardous materials such as epoxy. <br />Mr. Murphy replied that there has been an effort to “go green” over the last couple of <br />years and that they use products that meet or exceed California standards which are <br />some of the most stringent in the country. He indicated that they have moved to using <br />products that are water-based and have no odors, have zero or low volatile organic <br />compounds (VOCs) and are not harmful to their clients or as well as to their employees. <br />Chair Olson inquired if the Fire Department could check on the products. <br />Mr. Murphy agreed and added that the Fire Department had just checked their sprinkler <br />system and no issues were identified. He added that the company tries to use safe <br />LEED products that leave very low carbon footprints and stays away from those that are <br />high in chemicals. <br />Commissioner O’Connor noted that Condition No. 10 requires that the applicant have a <br />business license and asked Mr. Murphy if he currently has one. <br />Mr. Murphy replied that he was not sure but that he would check and would definitely <br />make sure he complies. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 27, 2010 Page 8 of 15 <br /> <br />
