Staff said they had recommended that the Commission focus on the Urban Sub Areas 2, 4,
5, and 12 of the proposed General Clan Amendment. and Rezone. Staff submitted a memo.;
Staff said that notices were posted in the Palermo Post Office, Palermo store, Hon t,store,
and the Minx Market in. Oak Grove. Staff contacted the- Grovtlle Mercu and pirovided

AR -2.5 ior Ak-5. The reason is that throughout the County with the exception of the zones
with the MH designation, the Agricultural zones, TM zones, .and FR zones, any mobiles
placed on the property are required meet 1914 HUD Standards. Staff said in all zones except
the agriculturLI, 'T -M, and F -R zones, the temporary second dwelling AiKA "Aunt 'Minnie"
must meet the HUS Standards, which is a, conflict. Staff recommended that the Coftimission
mR z
recomend the A-oning series for adoption instead of AR -MH zoning so they would be
consistetxt_between the primary use and aux "Aunt Minnie" should one occur.
Commissioner Lynch asked; if the Commission recoci�r^,e:lds A- zoning, then any pre61974
mobile ht`nes that are in place would still bean allowable use on the, property and could
continue even though the property was zoned AR 1. Staff said this is correct. He said the
pro I pofty owner would not be able to replace "the pre -1074 mobile with another pre -1974
mobile home. Staff said this was also correct.

Staff said at the Planning Commission meeting ;of November', % 1989 there was a discussion of
timing ,of this project with the Energy,. Natural Resources Element. Staff said the.
Commission had
discussed splitting this into two areas at their last'imeeting. One area for the urbanized areas and
one discussion on the rural areas. Staff said the ,animal issue has been resolved and is no longer
a consideration for these zoning proceedings.
Chairman Forbes ,said that one of thei concerns affecting this rezoning was the possible widening
of either Highway '99 or Highway 70.
Staff said there is a report due this month on the road widening. Staff said the road widening
would not have much affect on the urbanized areas being discussed;
The hearing was opened to the public.
Harold Galliett said he was there representing Betty Passer: He wanted individuals to beinotified
by mail if there was any change in their zoning.
Commissioner Lynch said it would be reasonable -for the Commission to look at Palermo/IHoncut
utoo in areaas a separate area from the rural lands. He discussed the ,possibility of a need for
Commercial zoning along Highway i 70 if that is the route chosen to be widened.

Commissioner Lambert said site 'was willing to separate the "urban and rural areas under

Menas does not have an application_ for an,action to be taken, the
Comniission can not put an individual on theagenda without' a formal
app]ication. He said they were dealing with, an issue, not an
ind ? vidual I a J)rob'lem
Staff said that the question that Mr. Menashas, regarding' the code
interpretation, would not be just foc+ueed on his property, it would be
applicable to all the zoning districts in the County.

give an interpretation of the code to the Board of Supervisors, staff
was sure that the Board of Supervisors, should the issue be before
them, would probably refer it back. to the Commission for their.
comments. Staff "maid on code enforcement when they road Section 41 of
the code It very clearly sets out investigative procidure prior to the
time when. any citation is issued. We 'are not in a citation mode in
this County on any, particular violation; at this time,, Staff said that _
there was time in the invastigative_ procedure before!; they get to the
citation level. There are certain: areas and thintTs that have to be
covered, and certain notices that have to go out with time limits on
them. Staff said this has not been the case with Mr. Menas' property.
Commissioner Walter said that Mr.', Menas is not in jeopardy at this time
and staff.said this was correct. _
Mr. Menas said he has a letter of August 4th, saying he has 30`;'days,to
get his animals off his property.
Staff said the letter was issued before'the ordinance Was adopted, for
code enforcement. Staff said the zoning violation notices that,have
been sent to people in past years have usad this same language giving
n days in which to correct, the zoning violations or it was turned over
to the County Counsel or District Attorney. The, County is now, in a
trans .itiona:1base between the existing County Code and the proposed'
County Code, therefore, many pr6perty owners 'have the same problem.
Chairman Lynch said the Commission has no rale in enforcement. Tie said
it was their role ;in the interpretation to make a recommendation to the
Board' and.'- this is why the item was put on the agenda the way it was'.`
He said in order, to get to specific property and specific individuals,,
this has �to come before ..the Planning Commission in the form of an
applicatioti for a 'varianr.e, to the code.
Cotiimissioner Lambert eXpl.ained the types
oiErvariancehe COmmission
considers. adding that Mr. Men -as, dould ppl f _y to the code.
`Mr. Menas said he has never heard such a mealymouthed ekplanation of a
very simple question. He said the Planning Commission does hot
under.5tand Why he I is there and what he .is tering about is a very
sim le problem. He said trot all the evidence indicates that this
ordinance has never been interpreted to `restrict the use of animals.
Chairman Lynch sAid that"Mr. Minas !askec, to come before the Commission
as a'specific issue on the agenda and he s on the agenda, his game
does not appear on the agenda, the issue that Mr. Menas iaised does
