H ever, he had some <br />concerns about Conditions 14 and 15. Inasmuch as the process has n longer than he <br />anticipated, he expressed concern that he may not have time to fi the paving and <br />drainage system before the rains come. He requested that occupancy of the building be <br />approved before these improvements are complete, and that he be all wed a certain amount <br />of time to make those improvements. <br /> <br />Vice Chairman McGuirk asked staff if the improvements must be m e before occupancy <br />takes place. Mr. Swift replied that normally staff would like for imp ovements to be <br />complete prior to occupancy, because that way they are sure to be do e.

He <br />further stated he would like to take immediate occupancy, because he eeds to vacate his <br />existing building as someone else is leasing it. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Finch questioned Mr. Swift about the need for a grea <br />explained that the laws in the Bay Area require that any storage facili of this type must <br />have a grease trap. This is to prevent any seepage into the storm drai . Mr. Higdon added <br />that this is a new requirement in California. Existing facilities that d not have such a grease <br />trap or drain improvements are "grandfathered" in; however, new fac ities or different <br />owners at a facility must have them installed. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br /> <br />November 30, 1992 <br />Page 3 <br />
