AVEN/JE: ..... Councilman Rowan opened the hearing and asked for the
staff report.
The Plunning Director presented a report dated October 19 which
described the application to establish a storage yard for the parking
of recreational vehicles at 5542 Orange Avenue. Ite also presented
slides of the prol~erty. He reported staff received one communica-
tion expressing opposition to the proposal. The staff recommended
denial of the application since they felt it would create conflicts
with tbe surrounding residential uses because of the inadequate
lot size which would preclude a logical layout for the storage use,
hecauqe of potential traffic conflicts, and because of the need
to modify the garage structure to increase the driveway access.
Staff felt the most appropriate alternate use for the property was
multiple-family residential development. The Planning Director
reported that the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance which allowed
this use in residential zones was approved as a result of applica-
tions which were made for parcels in the RS-6000 zone wbich had
excessive size. He reported this was the first request for the
use in the RM Zone and staff felt the subject property was a poor
location because of the small size of the parcel and its proximity
to adjacent residences.

MacLain to close the public hearing and deny without prejudice
application for Conditional Use Permit #78-25 by adoCting the

on the former dairy property on Valley View. The applicant,
Georg~ [)ina, is acquiring the hay' sales business currently con-
ducked by Hr. and blrs. Wiersma on Crescent Avenue adjacent to
Acacia Drive. The applicant requested approval of the use for a
six month trial period, and proposed to file For a conditional
use permit to conduct the use on a more permanent basis if it
appears successful at the Valley View location. The Planning
Direct ~r reported such a use is permitted ~n the CG-IO,O00 Zone
subject to the granting of a conditional usc permit. Staff' recom-
mended approval o£ the request on a trial basis Eot six months.

property would be void if the use ceases for a certain period of
ti!ne. Ibe Planning Director responded that the C.U.P. woold he
null and voZd if the use ceases to exist after a period of six
months. Councilwoman Evans asked if the applicant was aware of
thi ~ fact.
Mrs. Charlene l¥[ersma, 4252 Crescent, Cypress, stated they did not
real ~::e their conditional use permit would be void if the use ceases
*fief ;ix months. She asked ]f the applicant could be given a
guarantee that a C.U.P. for the Valley View location woold be con-
tinued after the six month trial period, since the applicant ~ould
tlot want to move the business now and then have to move agaill itl
six mooths. She stated Mr. Pina desires the conditional use permit
for louger than six months. The Planning Director reported that
staff cannot guarantee approval of a C.!/.P. in the future on the

permit and he would then be aware of the conditions of approval.

t [onal use permit at this time.
