9:56:09 AM County Planner Warren Vaughan Comments
9:56:25 AM Closed public comment.
9:56:37 AM Commissioner Skinner Finding that the Planning Board recommended approval unanimously and finding from staff recommendation that this site, the proposed use it adequate in size and, topography to accommodate this use and all the yard, spaces, walls, and fences, parking, loading and landscaping are adequate and the site is adequate for width streets and highways in relation to width and pavement type to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated and because there was no negative public comment the proposed use will have no adverse effect on abutting property and conditions have addressed any proposed adverse effects and that finding that the conditional use is complied with all conditions stipulated in Sections 46, 47, and 50, I would move to approve this CUP with staff suggested conditions and adding condition #11 which
would incorporate staff finding #12 incorporating the general conditions in Section 53.030.B.
9:57:52 AM Commissioner Murdock Second, I would add that I think by the addition of the conditions that we would make this Conditional Use Permit, it would protect adequately the public health, safety and general welfare and then without reading all of page 4 of the staff report, but as Warren (Vaughn) has put in his staff report and entered into the record on page 4 the findings from A, B, C, and D which refer to a lot of the things that were summarized in Joe's findings, I think that we have specifically met those requirements to satisfy the zoning code.
