commissioners absent, approved Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 20-05,
subject to the conditions listed in Resolution No. 2052, enclosed.
There is a ten (10) day appeal period for this application. To file an appeal, a
completed Appeal Application form must be submitted to the Development
Services Department along with a $600.00 appeal fee by 5:30 p.m. on
Monday, May 11, 2020. You will be notified if an appeal is filed.
This approval shall expire in one year (May 12, 2021) from the effective date
unless plans are submitted to Building Services for plan -check, a building
permit is issued and the construction is diligently pursued, a certificate of
occupancy has been issued, or the approval is renewed. The final plans must
be consistent with the approved design concept plans and any conditions of
approval. Any inconsistency from the approved design concept plans may
preclude the issuance of a building permit.
An extension may be granted by the Development Services Director or
designee, or the Review Authority that approved the project for a maximum
period of one (1) year from the initial expiration date. An extension can only be
granted if the required findings can be made. Please note that acceptance of
an extension request does not indicate approval of an extension.
A building permit must be obtained prior to any construction activity. Please
contact Building Services at (626) 574 -5416 to determine the type of
documentation, plans, and fees for the appropriate permit. This approval letter
must be presented to Building Services to initiate the permitting process.
Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 20-05 shall not go into effect
unless the property owner and applicant have executed and filed the enclosed
Acceptance Form to indicate awareness and acceptance of these conditions
of approval. The Acceptance form is due now and if it is not received by May
28, 2020, or if the project is appealed, this approval will become null and void.
