subject properties would be on the right hand side, and then this is looking like standing in the middle of the road here looking back towards the highway. So, the subject properties are on the left. The Planning Director is recommending approval of the amendment to Special Permit No. 842. And, I just want to point out one thing. If you look at the goldenrod sheet which shows your Recommendation and the conditions, so the requested amendment is to Condition 4, and you'll notice if you look at Condition No. 10, usually after, after all of the conditions at the very end, we usually have a condition that says the Applicant can request an administrative time extension from the Planning Director. We don't have one in this case. At some point, through the history of this permit, because there have been several time extensions, that permit condition was dropped. So, if the Commission feels like more time should be granted administratively so the Applicant doesn't have to keep coming back for additional time extensions, we can add that condition in. But, as it stands now, that condition is not in your recommended conditions of approval. That concludes my presentation. I'd be happy to answer any questions. CLARKSON: Any questions from any Commissioner? Okay, I have a question. This has been under the Special Permit since 1983. JACKSON: Nineteen ninety-three. CLARKSON: I mean ninety-three, 25 years, and they're requesting another 15 years essentially, which if my math is correct, that makes 40 years. Are there any Planning Department guidelines as to how long time extensions go before they are recommended against? JACKSON: Typically, the Department is open to continuing to allow time extensions unless there's been some significant change in the General Plan for the area or the land use pattern has significant changed to where we would no longer recommend time extensions because the use isn't as appropriate as it once was. CLARKSON: Thank you. JACKSON: So, that's not the case for this particular area. CLARKSON: Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you, Maija. Would the Applicant or their representative please come forward? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission? FUKE: Yes, I do. CLARKSON: Would you please state your name and speak directly into the microphone, please? EXHIBIT A 3
