HEARINCS

Chairman Pierce reported that the Commissioners in attendance were in agree-
ment that the hearing on the application of Burlingame Shore Land Company
for reclassification of acreage from R-4 to C-1, scheduled for this date,
should be postponed to a subsequent meeting because of the many ramifications
involved, the fact that a member of the Commission who was absent from any
of the public hearings would be excluded from voting, and the issue was
of sufficient importance to warrant consideration by more than four members.

drivers, but there will be approximately one acre black -topped and
the tenants have indicated their willingness to mark off a reasonable

`o a Special Permit approved by the Planning Commission in March} 1966,

The communication stated that the entire operation of Masonry Supply
Company, including the retail yard, which has existed for many years,
will be relocated from Cadillac Way to the new site on Marsten Road;
through inadvertence, the Special Permit application did not
specifically name retail sales and the city has refused to issue per-
mits for this part of the busi ..'ness.
The communication requested clarification from the Commission.
The City Engineer, in reply to the Chair, advised that the Planning
and Building Departments became aware just recently that more than a
storage yard was involved when a request was made for a permit for
electricity for a sales office; at that time, the owner was advised
to return to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Oscar Person stated that it was his understanding that the retail
operation of Masonry Supply Company was included when the use permit
was approved for the new location.

section 25.42.030 g. , providing for "establishments for sale of ;nods
or services at retail" as a conditional use in the M-1 District.
The City Attorney informed the Commission that the records of the
li.cea;se department show that s business license has been paid since
1946 to 1966 for sale of hardware and building material. at Industrial
v4'ay; apparently the use was nonconforming and proper in the location
but would not continue to be non -conforming in another location. He
stated that the minutes of the hearing for the storage yard
iY;dicate that the commercial use was neither mentioned by the appli-
cant nor considered by the Commission.

was informed accordingly, that an application for a Special Permit
must be filed and noticed for public hearing for the retail operation.
