UP-98-6 OF RAMON GUERRERO (C/O JOSE ALVA) (FOURTH SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICT) IT IS RECOMMENDED: That the Board of Supervisors uphold the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit Application No. UP-98-6 and deny the appeal. BACKGROUND: The applicant, Ramon Guerrero, is proposing to establish a 900-square-foot private slaughterhouse to be used for slaughtering cattle, hogs, and goats for use in the owner's restaurants. The Use Permit also proposes to legally establish the keeping and raising of the following animals: 12 pot belly pigs, 217 fowl (pheasants, doves, comish hens, ducks, and chickens), and 23 ratites. The Planning Commission initially heard this application at its meeting of August 13, 1998. After considering all written and oral testimony, there was a motion and a second to approve the Use Permit. However, this motion failed by a 3-2 vote. No other motions were made; therefore, the Use Permit was denied. On August 24, 1998, the applicant, Ramon Guerrero, filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of the project. On October 20, 1998, the Board of Supervisors heard the appeal and voted 5-0 to refer the matter back to the Planning Commission to impose conditions, directed the applicant to submit a revised Site Plan within 120 days, and, after the Planning Commission's action, to send the matter back to the Board of Supervisors for hearing. The Board of Supervisors also concluded that the revised Site Plan would be required to show the slaughterhouse relocated as far to the north on the subject parcel as possible and that access to the slaughterhouse be off of a driveway separate from the neighbor's driveway. On February 24, 1999, the applicant submitted the revised site plan, which incorporated the revised driveway access and relocation of the slaughterhouse, as directed by the Board of Supervisors. The revised application materials also included a change in the number and type of animals to be slaughtered daily: from one to two cattle per day to two to six cattle, goats, or hogs per day. The hours of daily operation are also proposed to be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., instead of from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and up to four employees are now proposed instead of the original one to two.
