GONZALEZ: Mr. Chairman, may I ask for clarification? WOODWARD: Yes, Mr. Gonzalez. GONZALEZ: Can we change your term and use of “project area?” Because they’re not going to know project area unless they get a metes and bounds. So is there an established project area that you’re referring to in that sentence you added in the beginning? You know what I’m saying? IWASHITA: Well, I just, yeah, thank you. I just used that term because it was a term used in the existing or proposed language for four. So whatever staff would recommend, if that needs clarification, that’s fine with me. GONZALEZ: Okay. So I just wanted to see, you were envisioning the project area now as established in the prior plan or something, right? IWASHITA: Yes. Well, yeah, in my mind and I guess because the proposed language for four used the .668-acre project terminology, I just copied that in my language, yeah. DOMINGO: Mr. Chairman? WOODWARD: Yes, Commissioner Domingo.0 DOMINGO: Mr. Chairman, I can see where the motion would amend or delete certain aspects of the conditions. But what I’m concerned is that this being a special permit, and as I indicated that, you know, when you apply for a special permit you’re beholden to certain specific conditions, there’s no ifs or buts about it. And if there are changes in the conditions or the contents of the special permit, would it not be more appropriate that they file for an amendment to the permit, to the Special Permit? Because right now it kind of leaves it nebulous, and the interpretation of what’s the intent of the Commission is questionable WOODWARD: I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking, to be honest. DOMINGO: What I’m saying is, okay, when I say nebulous, you know, if, if they find it a necessity to expand the metes and bounds and the boundaries and where the operation now exist, then they should come out with, I guess, a survey and a new metes and bounds to indicate that they’ve done this. What I’m saying is that because they’re changing it, they’re changing the specific, specifics of the condition, is it not more appropriate that they come in for an amendment to the application? WOODWARD: Well, maybe, I’ll give you my best shot at an answer. The question I think is whether the addition of this 500-square foot area in the area that was previously mapped out in their plan justifies a complete new plan. That’s sort of the crux of the matter. Now if there was to be, my understanding is if there was to be any further changes beyond what is existing now, then they would have to require, it would require either an amendment or a new special permit. 20 EXHIBIT A
