U-78-9 RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission review the background information in this memo and determine if a public hearing should be held to consider the modification or revocation of Use Permit No. U-78-9. BACKGROUND On November 3, 1977, the Planning Commission approved Use Permit Application U-78-9 of Edgar B. Billups. The Use Permit was for a 'marine repair shop, specializing in outboard motor repair, with incidental sales of marine motor parts.' The Use Permit was conditioned that 'no boats are to be displayed or sold on the premises.' The property involved is on the north side of Walnut Grove Road, about 200 feet east of Vail Road, west of Thornton (11751 West Walnut Grove Road, APN 001-080-31). Since this approval, the facility has been used by several different boat engine repair businesses. There was, until recently, a limited amount of outside storage on the property. In October 1992, this department received a complaint through Supervisor George Barber that a new business (Lee's Boat Hauling) had just opened using this facility, and that there were boats stored over the entire property, with some of the boats extending into the public right of way of Walnut Grove Road. A field check of the property revealed over 30 large boats, 25 to 60 feet in length, being stored onsite. Severai of the boats were being Ivied in. They were provided power by electrical extension cords, and water with garden hoses. A mobilehome was also on the site that was being used as an office for the business. Permits had not been obtained for this mobilehome, and the use did not have a current Business License. In that same month, staff met with the owners of the new business and discussed the limitations of the Use Permit with him, and what would be needed to bring his business into compliance. The business is primarily a commercial boat hauler and storer of boats, but there is associated boat repair. They were informed that, 1), the boats could not be occupied; 2), the mobile office would either have to obtain permits or be removed; and 3), that the business would be limited to boat storage only outside, with all repair work to be conducted inside the building. They were also informed that they needed to confine the business to their property. On March 31, 1993, the violations were being corrected and an Improvement Plan had been submitted to detail their operation and the enforcement file was placed in inactive status.
