now and when you start to have a minor use permit and an administrative use permit and a temporary use permit, there's just too many use permits along with our standard CUP. So what this does is it eliminates Administrative CUPs and rolls those particular uses into the Temporary CUPs. Commissioner Balch: But all the criteria, all the conditions, all the applications are all the same. Beaudin: Same thing, but you do have to come back and ask. The temporary use permit is good for 12 months and so you're coming back and you're re- upping, and those are the kinds of uses we want to see people re -up on because sometimes they just get left behind and forgotten about. Commissioner Balch: There's just a recycling use permit for the city. Beaudin: Yes, it's a marginal... it's probably a loss for us by the time we do the paperwork. Chair Ritter: This is the third time I've heard this presentation but It's actually good because I'm looking forward to hearing, I think Pam might talk about the Permit Pleasanton Open Counter, so what we're trying to do is get all of our data in line so it fits in this great tool that's logical as an applicant comes and that's where we're going with this, so we've got to get through this so we get on to the next step. That's why I'm trying to keep us moving. Bonn: So lastly, I think it's substantively that determinations of CUPs is not listed. Right now, this section of the code specifically calls out the Planning Commission or charges the Planning Commission with that responsibility but in practicality when people come in with new ideas and new concepts, the Zoning Administrator makes a determination for a use that may be similar to a use that's already called out. This really just makes it clear that that's possible and feasible. I alluded to this earlier —we have done some public outreach recently so EVC heard this topic on the 18th. We've been to the Chamber, Downtown Vitality Committee heard it last week, and we're obviously here tonight and planning on taking it to the PDA Board in September. So overall, staff feels that the proposal makes the code more navigable, transparent, more accessible, there's the Minor CUP process and the protections against potential land use and compatibility are still in place if not strengthened in some instances. So in conclusion we've identified some questions to guide the discussion of the Planning Commission. These were identified in your staff report. The last one, again, and you're welcome to discuss it if you'd like but it was really intended to focus on the first floor non - retail, non - restaurant uses so again, we're proposing to table that for now and the first 3 really deal with the meat of the rest of the proposed amendments. Chair Ritter: Great. Should we hear from our resident before 6:00 a.m.? Brad Hirst. Thank you for staying late and we value your opinion and you have five minutes. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED.
