kitchen for. It just seems a little bit overpowering the way it’s proposed right now. So <br />that would be my comment. Thank you. <br />WOODWARD: Thank you. Any questions? All right, thank you very much. You <br />may be seated. Mr. Maeda, did you have anything you wanted to say in response? <br />MAEDA: I have no comment. <br />WOODWARD: Okay, thank you very much. <br />OGATA: I have a question for him though. <br />WOODWARD: You’ve already been sworn in so you’re good to go. <br />OGATA: The certified kitchen that you’re proposing, is that a full-blown <br />commercial kitchen or is it a certified prep kitchen? I’m not sure what -. <br />MAEDA: Well, I haven’t researched it totally yet or did any designing of it. <br />I know that with the Department of Health there are different standards; and my intention <br />is to use it for processing of our fruits and vegetables and baking dog treats. So that’s the <br />intended use. I don’t intend any other use, but I haven’t designed it or given that any <br />consideration. <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Alameda. <br />ALAMEDA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don’t have a question for the applicant. I <br />have a question for the Director. I’m just curious. What part, if you look at the whole <br />application what part of the application warrants a special permit? Like if you look at the <br />shooting range that doesn’t warrant a special permit, Ag land. If you look at raising dogs, <br />that doesn’t warrant a special permit. And I don’t know if there’s a limit on how much <br />dogs people can raise on their property, maybe that warrants a special permit. At what <br />part of this application warrants a special permit? <br />YUEN: The commercial boarding kennel aspect where people are bringing <br />dogs in to be boarded. The certified kitchen would not need a special permit as long as <br />he’s processing his own fruits and vegetables.That’s Ag processing at that point. So, for <br />example, if he grows pineapples and he makes pineapple jam, he needs a certified kitchen <br />to make the jam; but that’s processing of an agricultural product. So those are the aspects <br />that do and don’t need a special permit. <br />ALAMEDA: Okay, so just to clarify, so the commercial part of the boarding <br />dogs, cause neighbors, you know, I’ve watchdogs. Did I board them? I don’t think so. <br />So it’s the commercial aspect of the boarding and then the certified kitchen, yeah, those <br />are the two primary reasons that warrant the special permit? <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />14 <br /> <br />
