o Finally, of the three options that staff is providing to you in the 2015 staff report, Option #1 will allow you to continue the current CUP and Design Review. Please note that staff states, "Enforcement of the existing conditions of approval would not allow continued active use of the patio area." Staff is admitting that the current CUP does not allow use of the backyard. Eight years ago when this started, the Planning Department should have told the Masons to stop using the backyard while this was being reviewed with the City. To this day, the Planning Department has still not told the Masons to stop using the backyard, and therefore, the Masons are continuing to use it. The Millers' are confused as to why the City did not include any of the above important information in the January 28, 2015 Staff Report. 25. Page 9 of the 2015 Staff Report discusses that despite the City's efforts, no resolution has been reached. "Since the March 2009 Planning Commission meeting, staff has worked with the Masonic Center and the Millers to mitigate concerns raised by the Millers. Staff has met with the Millers several times to address their concerns, discuss the noise ordinance, and discuss the voluntary measures proposed by the Masonic center. However, no resolution has been reached." • It is true that no resolution has been reached. However, the City omitted to state that this is because the City is asking the Millers to allow uses of the Masonic building that are not allowed by the Masons' CUP, the zoning codes or the General Plan and that will destroy their residential home. Would any of the Planning Commissioners or staff be willing to allow an establishment right across their fence line to operate commercial activities with up to 600 people at any time they chose, day or night with alcohol? Of course not, but that is what the Masons are requesting and what the City is asking the Millers to accept. The City should protect the people who live here and enforce the codes. 26. Page 9 of the 2015 Staff Report discusses the three options offered to you by staff. • The Millers are asking the Planning Commission to vote for Option #1 and to include the Millers other requests as stated in Section #5 above starting on page 7. 23
