Larissa Seto stated that because the Planning Commission still went ahead and took public hearing, the Commission can still take an action on the appeal submitted by the Appellants, even though they were not able to come. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Narum stated that with regard to the RV parking overnight, she heard that the property owner or property management enforces that. She inquired if this is something consistent with the PUD or can be a part of this to memorialize the appeal. Ms. Seto replied that staff always works with property owners with regard to illegal overnight parking, which is not part of an application in a commercial district to actually have that as a use; overnight parking is not allowed. She explained that staff requires the property owners to post the signs required by the California Vehicle Code to allow them to call for towing of vehicles. Commissioner Blank inquired if a vehicle parked overnight becomes an automatic tow situation for Code Enforcement. Ms. Seto replied that is correct. She added that staff could work with the property owners or managers that they would be the ones responsible for this if they have someone on -site to call. She noted that sometimes it becomes a bigger problem in some private parking areas where the property owner or manager do not have a person on -site; people then call the City and complain, and it is worked out through Code Enforcement, or if the property owners or are aware, they or their agents can call the towing company themselves. Chair Pentin asked Commissioner Narum if she wanted this to be part of the PUD. Commissioner Narum replied that her concern was whether or not the City would be protected from a change in management, should the new property manager allow overnight RV parking. She indicated that Ms. Seto had answered that question that the City is protected. Ms. Seto confirmed that was correct. She explained that it would be part of an application, so staff would work with the property owner, whether it is the manager or the owners, to make sure that is properly signed and enforced for towing. Commissioner Blank inquired what the hours of operation are and if they were comparable to those of the previous tenant.
