The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of January 19, 1965 were APPROVED
as revised on MOTION by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman
Reibold and car~ied unanimously.
The formal portion of the public hearing proceedings on Planning
Commission recommendation as contained in its Resolution No. 538
concerning conditional uses having been closed on January 19, 1965,
the City Council continued its deliberations on revisions and
possible deletions.
A communication was read into the record from J. J. Cassidy, Area
Staff Supervisor of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company.
Embodied therein was a request that Section 9275.3.11 - UTILITIES -
be expanded to include the requirement that the developer or
property owner be responsible for compliance ~ith the requirement
for underground utility installation and bear all costs connected
therewith.
Councilmen Balser and Reibold abstained from entering discussion or
decision on this point as both are employed by the subject utility
company.
It was the consensus of the remaining members of the City Council
that Section 9275,3.11 include the additional requirement in
connection with underground utilities.
Section 9275.3.20 was then considered and it was the consensus of
the City Council that the subject section be enlarged upon to include
the provision that the Planning Commission may upon finding that all
requirements are met, grant the conditional use; that in a case where
a waiver of the requirement is involved that 'the Commission submit
to the City Council its recommendation and the legislative body make
the final determination. The City Council c~hcurred in the following
wording suggested by the City Attorney:
"Upon a showing by the applicant and a finding by the Planning
Commission that any such regulation is i~appropriate or
inapplicable either to the intended use of the property or
1.

to the property itself or to adjacent property the Planning
Commission may, in granting a conditional use permit, recommend
that any regulations specified in this Title be waived and the
City Council may without the necessity of a public hearing
waive any such regulation.ll
Discussion was held on adequate ingress and egress to facilities
and it was felt that this is covered in the waiver requirement clause.
Covered also in discussion was the frontage requirement for service
stations and/or drive-in businesses, areas for merchandise display,
and billboards.
