REVISION TO THE CONDITIONAL USE ABATEMENT PLANNING CODE AMENDMENT, Consideration of a proposal to initiate a revision to a proposed amendment to the Planning Code previously initiated by the Planning Commission and recommended for adoption by the Commission on October 7, 1999 but not heard by the Board of Supervisors. That proposal and this revision would amend Section 303 to clarify the appeal delay in the effective date of a conditional use approval and to provide a process for abating conditional uses which violate their conditions of approval or have become a public nuisance. The process would involve a public hearing to consider revoking the conditional use permit, modifying conditions of approval or taking other abatement action and would include an opportunity to appeal a decision to the Board of Supervisors. The current, proposed revisions would delete the provision whereby tenants would be allowed to sign an appeal petition, due to the difficulty of recording, counting and noticing tenants; would delete language that implied that the procedure would not apply to conditional uses that were “grand fathered in”; and would require notice of the abatement hearing to be sent to the permit holder by regular mail as well as certified mail. The original amendment provided only for certified mail notification. Testimony and Commission considerations could result in recommendations of modifications to the proposed legislation.
