(Attachment `A') REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION: { The Planning Commission heard this matter at its regular meeting on March 19, 2009. Five people spoke in favor of the project; three people spoke in opposition. After consideration of all oral and written testimony, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 to approve the Negative Declaration and approve the Use Permit. On March 30, 2009, James Colton appealed the Planning Commission's approval of the Use Permit to the Board of Supervisors. APPEAL STATEMENT NO. 1 "Public notices were received only 10 days before Planning Commission hearing. This was not enough time to acquire and review environmental documents and traffic impact analysis report. This was also not enough time for neighbors outside the 1400 sq ft mailing perimeter,to be informed and be able to make an educated response to the project." RESPONSE TO APPEAL STATEMENT NO. 1 The Development Title and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) specify public review requirements for Public Hearing items and proposed Negative Declarations respectively. For applications subject to the Public Hearing Review Procedure, Section 9-220.8 of the Development Title requires that all owners within 1,400 feet of the perimeter be notified 10 days prior to the Public Hearing. For proposed Negative Declarations sent to the State Clearinghouse, the public review period is 30 days (CEQA Guidelines, 15105[b]). Consistent with those requirements, a notice indicating that the County was proposing a Negative Declaration was mailed on June 19, 2007, and notice of the Public Hearing was mailed on March 6, 2009.
