Discussion Items

• Item 13 (UC260142 – Holdover Banquet Facility): Staff reported that the applicant had failed to appear at previous meetings, leading to multiple holds.

The item remained on the non-routine agenda for potential action.

  • Legal non-conforming lots: Clarify that lots recorded before January 1, 2024, in the former R3 district (now RM18) may still develop single-family residences under RS2 standards.
  • Cannabis provisions: Delete references to medical dispensaries and align with state law (AB 277) which now only issues adult-use retail licenses; no changes to where cannabis may be sold.
  • Special events: Allow waivers of residential adjacency separation requirements via use permit, moving the prohibition from layout and design standards.
  • Light manufacturing: Allow location and operation waivers in IP district with condition that manufacturing occurs in an enclosed building (cannot be waived); IL and IH districts remain unchanged.
  • Accessible parking: Correct diagram to comply with ADA requirements for van-accessible spaces, reducing excess dimensions.

• Item 13 (banquet facility) was flagged for potential hold or denial due to repeated non-appearances; staff noted that if held again, renotification and fees would apply.
