functioning do not need the same amount of nurses or resources that Category B or Category C persons would need. Commissioner Pentin inquired who monitors this and what would trigger a notification to the City that the applicants may now have six or more of Category B or Category C persons. Ms. Harryman replied that this is a State function and that the State of California certifies and licenses such facilities. She indicated that she did not know of any way other than asking the operators to provide copies of their change in certification, but unless they opt for six or more of Category B or Category C, the City has no authority in any change because it would not require a CUP.

She clarified that the function of the Planning Commission and Design Review is to look at the design of the house and not what is inside. She indicated that someone could have a one-bedroom, one-bath home with a gigantic kitchen or media room, or a family could have 15 children with 15 bedrooms. She stated that Design Review is explicit to the exterior of the house and the function and layout of the lot, and not what is in the interior of the house. Chair Narum requested staff to comment on an email that refers to terminating the easement. Ms. Harryman stated that staff received an email this afternoon from one of the owners living on Sycamore Terrace stating that he is inclined to terminate the easement based on the use by the applicant. She noted that this is similar to the recent application of the Summertime Learning Center where the business association had the owners were saying that the proposed .
