In response to Commissioner Fox's inquiry if the car parts business doing the lacquer <br />process was in Suite C, Ms. Amos replied that they do conduct lacquer applications. <br />She noted that there is a car operations center located in the building across from it. <br />Ms. Amos then discussed the applicant's operations and transportation services. She <br />added that there were questions submitted by Commissioner Fox, which she read out <br />loud as follows: <br />"1. Regarding the handgun referred to in the Dublin letter; can the police follow up <br />on whether it was loaded or unloaded? <br />"2. Regarding the location of the handgun, can the police follow up on whether it was <br />locked or unlocked? <br />"3. Regarding the location of the handgun, can the police follow up on whether it was <br />out in the open or not?" <br />Ms. Amos responded to questions, stating that the information is not available to the <br />public and that the applicant would be able to respond and clarify. <br />Commissioner 0' Connor inquired if staff asked Dublin directly, and Ms. Amos replied <br />that the information was not available for public review. Commissioner O'Connor <br />inquired why Dublin would not simply answerthe question and asked if this was <br />privileged information. Ms. Amos replied that staff had posed these questions, and <br />Dublin indicated that all information that can be released has already been provided to <br />staff through correspondence. <br />Commissioner Fox asked if this was the reason the questions were included in the <br />packet, stating she had asked them back on October 17t". Ms. Amos said no but that <br />this was what Dublin responded to. <br />Ms. Amos noted that Commissioner Fox had additional questions regarding responses <br />found in the pumpkin-orange-colored book. She stated that the first question requested <br />clarification on Question 27, 89, and 91 regarding if the childcare facility was an <br />E-occupancy building. Ms. Amos clarified that it is an E-occupancy building, based <br />upon the change in use to childcare. <br />Ms. Amos continued that the next question was: "The Building and Professions Code <br />require that a change of occupancy type have architect- orengineer-approved plans. <br />Since the occupancy is changing from B to E (per the staff report, it is an E), where are <br />the plans signed by the architect since state law requires that anytime an occupancy <br />type if changed, it requires signed plans. I've asked this question before. This is a state <br />requirement beyond the city's requirements." Ms. Amos stated that while this is a <br />requirement, it is one that is required by the Building and Safety Division and not in <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, November 12, 2008 Page 4 of 29 <br />
