IWASHITA: Right. WOODWARD: Whereas the previous 1994 permit had addressed all these issues; and whether adding another 500 feet is going to require them to do all of this in addition. Okay. IWASHITA: The other concern I had or -. If there’s no further comment by staff, then the other concern -. DARROW: Well, I’ll just, if I could, previously this was a permitted use under the Zoning Code which only required plan approval. It wasn’t something that usually a metes and bounds request was made. But in a special permit, again, it’s a standard condition that we place for all special permits on properties that are larger than the permit area. And this being a 20-acre property with a small area being used -. But, again, your comment is correct as far as the plan that was submitted in ’94, the actual area is similar to the area that was identified in the plan that’s submitted for the Special Permit. WOODWARD: Any further questions? Commissioner Ishibashi? IWASHITA: I’m sorry, Mr. Chair, I had one other. WOODWARD: Oh, I’m sorry, go ahead. IWASHITA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. As far as No. 3, final plan approval, I guess given, my perspective is, yes, the 500 square foot issue, whether it should be permitted or not, is the issue that’s being discussed here in this violation or the change in the actual area used. And so, but given all of the circumstances of the record, you know, the only thing I can really see is that a determination be made whether or not a building permit should have been pulled for that; and then if it was required that an after-the-fact permit be pulled for that. Cause other than that I don’t really see -. Given that the prior approval included the certified kitchen and so it encompasses all of the uses, and the only violation really is selling these postcards and other kind of things that we’re amending for that, I really don’t see a need for a completely whole new plan approval process. So -. DARROW: Could I interject? IWASHITA: Yes. No response, I’m done. DARROW: In the original plan approval there were conditions of the plan approval on Exhibit 2. On the second page Condition No. 2 stated plan approval required for any further building modifications or addition. So it was also a plan, I mean, a condition of the original plan approval that had there been any expansion that it would have triggered plan approval at that time as well. IWASHITA: Thank you for pointing that out. And, I guess, for this requirement then basically the plan approval will be as to the 500 square feet or will it beyond? Cause I guess the concern 14 EXHIBIT A
