included in the definition that is ultimately adopted for a minor CUP but which in fact is <br />that two percent of the applications which ought to maybe have a public hearing. <br />Beaudin: Can I just say from a procedural perspective, anything that comes in as a <br />minor CUP can always... you know, if it starts to generate a lot of neighborhood interest, <br />if it starts to generate a lot of concern even at the staff level, it will be pushed to the <br />Planning Commission and it will be still called a minor CUP but it will be reviewed here <br />and ultimately everything is appealable as well. So if we make a decision that's <br />questioned by anyone, they come forward with the appeal and it comes to the Planning <br />Commission as well, so there is a check in the process both on the front end and on the <br />back end. <br />Chair Ritter: I can think of two tennis courts <br />Weinstein: And from the Planning Commission, all I'm saying is either the Planning <br />Commission or the City Council could pull items as well that would be listed on our <br />report that would be published and included in your packet as well. <br />Commissioner Brown: Would they still be charged the $750 versus the $3,000 in that <br />instance? <br />Beaudin: The lower fee, whatever it is set at, would apply <br />Commissioner Balch: And the other element to that is obviously if it gets pulled up you <br />have to re- notice if you're not 1,000 feet. <br />Beaudin: We would. We would do that for a hearing. <br />Commissioner Balch: Okay. To Commissioner Nagler's comment, when I read this I <br />kept thinking Zoning Administrator type actions and so what does this do that that's not <br />providing you that this whole new group is here? <br />Beaudin: Yes, it's the cost and the amount of time that goes into it. <br />Commissioner Balch: Just because it meets the criteria of a conditional use, right? <br />Beaudin: Right, and so the amount of staff review and the amount of lead time we need <br />with the application is much less and the cost is significantly less. This would be <br />reflected in the Master Fee Schedule knowing that the zoning ordinance update was <br />coming, and so we pegged it at $750 versus $3,000 for the CUP. So it's an easier <br />hurdle for someone who's trying to establish a business that we've seen established a <br />number of times in the community and then the timeframe is on the order of months and <br />not weeks in terms of time savings just because of the hearing process and the amount <br />of staff work that goes into a standard use permit. <br />Bonn: Maybe the other point too is that this is a new process and you know, I'd be the <br />first to admit there's probably going to be some uses that should be included that aren't <br />and maybe vice versa, so at some point it's going to take some self - evaluation on staff's <br />part to say, is this really achieving what we want it to or you know, is it really doing what <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 31, 2016 Page 33 of 58 <br />
