Beaudin: We were just talking about that. So there's a temporary use permit process. It requires some lead time so if you know about the event and went through a regular check and that is still approved by me, but there's an application process and it's considered an event permit. Commissioner Balch: So conceivably, if the Masons wanted to have an event in their backyard which has a prohibition since it's a buffer but its advanced planning and thought of, it could go through a process. I like that. Commissioner Allen: I like that too. Commissioner Nagler: So are we saying that if the Masons want to have a yoga class for themselves and eight people sign up for the yoga class and they would like to have the yoga class in the fresh air in the privacy of the piece of property away from the street in the backyard, in the buffer zone.... Commissioner Balch: They would have to get a temporary use permit. Yes, we are saying that. Commissioner Nagler: For an eight person yoga class? Commissioner Balch: Yes. Because the premise is that it's a landscape area of some sort and frankly, the condition was an accepted condition to build the building. If you didn't like it, don't build the building frankly. That's my opinion. It was a stated condition. This is a buffer zone originally in 1977 and they chose to build it which meant, hey, you're in until you destroy the building in my opinion because you agreed by getting a building permit, pulling it, getting it, finaling it and building the building. Commissioner Nagler: Speaking about things changing, if it turns out by chance escrow closes and there's a new owner and the owner comes to the City and says "we want to tear down the buildings there; that we only did this whole thing because we want the piece of the property ". We're going to tear down the building or double the size of the building and the only way to double the size of the building is to go into this buffer zone, are we in any way suggesting by this action that we're creating some notion that the buffer zone has to be of some distance, some size? Chair Ritter: It all starts over. Commissioner O'Connor: It all starts over. Commissioner Balch: Yes, it all starts over, and frankly, it will depend on the design of that building, concept. Commissioner O'Connor: It's a clean slate. Chair Ritter: It comes to us anyway as a clean slate. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 22, 2016 Page 37 of 56
