became inactive in 2011. (Note: we sent proof of this to the City in an email with links to IRS and state websites to verify this.) The PMC and its catering company and party business should not be allowed to use the backyard, or for that matter any part of the site, for the following two reasons: 1. The PMC is no longer tax - exempt or non - profit but rather is now a private- for - profit company. 2. The rental revenues for the catering company and party business are both reported on the PMC's tax return. That is, the PMC is a private company, which is conducting business in a residential area, and violating both the General Plan and zoning code 18.36.040. Please respond with your feedback. 7) The use has changed from a fraternity to a catering company and party business: The Masons are allowed to operate at the lodge because their use is that of a fraternity (Note: Both (1) the Masons CUP, and (2) Zoning Code 18.36.040 Provision 1— Private non - commercial clubs and lodges, allow the Masons in a residential area to operate as a fraternity.) However, the use of the lodge has changed so that it is no longer a fraternity. instead, the use is a catering company and party business. The PMC's and fraternity's tax returns demonstrate this. As can be seen from the below chart, the revenues from renting the building to the catering company and to the public for parties is 2 to 4 times the revenues from the member dues. This clearly indicates that commercial activity is the main use of the building, generating most of the revenue, and that non - profit fraternity activity is a minor use. Nonprofits are only allowed 5% to 20% of unrelated business expense, not 200% to 400%. Therefore, the use of the fraternity has changed to a catering company and party business. Since the fraternity no longer operates as a fraternity as its main use, it is violating codes and should not be allowed to operate on the premises.
