Zoning for the 3830 Old Santa Rita Road site is the C-S (Commercial Service) District. Zoning for the 3876 Old Santa Rita Road site is the PUD (Planned Unit Development) C-S (Commercial Service) District. . Mr. Iserson presented the staff report describing the project proposal and noting the history of the application for this site. He advised that the Planning Commission had approved almost the same application last June, but this application reflects a different location for the equipment building. He noted that during the discussions between the applicant and the owner of the original equipment building property, the approvals had expired. Mr. Iserson noted that staff feels the extension to the monopole is very minor and that the equipment building will be basically hidden from view. He noted that the use permit findings can be made and that staff recommends approval of the project. In response to a question from Commissioner Dove, Mr. Iserson advised that had the applicant requested an extension of the previous approvals they would have been granted fairly routinely if requested prior to expiration of the approvals. He noted that the issue was with the relocation of the equipment building. PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Mr. Jim Gilbert, 5619 Scotts Valley Drive, Sootts Valley, of Matthews Land Company, represented GTE Mobilnet. Mr. Gilbert stated that he feels the staff report is comprehensive and accurately describes the project, and requested the Planning Commission's approval. .
