BOARD MEMBERS: Spencer, Tindall, Kelly MINUTES: ON MOTION BY SPENCER AND SECOND BY TINDALL, THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 16, 1980, WERE APPROVED AS TRANSCRIBED, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Spencer, Tindall NOES: None ABSENT: Kelly REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: SPECIAL EVENT NO. 80-1 Applicant: Virginia May Lawn To permit a special event from January 18, 1980 through February 9, 1980 featuring Art Exhibits located on the northwest corner of 19th Street and Pacific Coast Highway. Secretary Spencer gave a brief background of ordinance code require- ments for the permission of a special event. The public hearing was opened. Ms. Lawn addressed the Board and stated the reason for the request was to have another artist exhibit and sales because the previous one worked out very well. However, the last special event did not afford her enough time to make it as nice as she wanted. She further stated that the requested 21 days is not long enough to afford proper time in selling the artists' work. In general, she felt that the proposal would be a nice way of selling things. Mr. Tom Flynn, adjacent property owner, addressed the Board and cited opposition to the proposal due to concerns of vandalism, parking problem, excessive noise, and inadequate Police protection. He further stated that he was not objecting to the request for the sale of artists' products, however, did object to the proposed location for the sale. Mr. George Dew, adjacent property owner, addressed the Board and cited opposition to the proposal because the proposed use would serve as a collecting point for vandalism, and inadequate Police protection. He further cited the inadequacy of parking for tenants in the surrounding four-plexes and stated that this business would increase parking greatly, and thereby creating more of a problem. Minutes: H.B. Board of Zoning Adjustments Wednesday, January 23, 1980 Page Two Ms. Lawn again addressed the Board stating that the vacant lot was a waste of beautiful land, and that her proposal would be an improvement to the neighborhood. There being no other parties present to speak on the application, the public hearing was closed. Board discussion ensued. Secretary Spencer stated that the Develop- ment Services Department feels this is a retail use, and that a special event should not be granted. He further stated that this type of a use should be located in a proper facility such as an enclosed building, and in an area designed for retail sales. He further cited several complaints that have been received by the department at the previous exhibit and felt that the request did not meet the criteria of a special event. Board Member Kelly arrived at 1:45 P.M. Chairman Tindall felt that no evidence has been presented to meet the intent of the Ordinance Code, due to past experience. ON MOTION BY TINDALL AND SECOND BY SPENCER, SPECIAL EVENT NO. 80-1 WAS DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: REASONS FOR DENIAL: 1. There is no evidence that the request meets the intent of the Ordinance Code because it was not a charitable or non-profit art association and appeared to be of a more retail nature. 2. That where "special events" are primarily extended to provide specialized outdoor short term events such as: art shows, fund raising (non-profit) events, amusements, etc. and not to provide an outlet for "open" retail uses or swap meets which are expressly prohibited by the Ordinance Code.

Secretary Spencer stated that the applicant had requested a reconsider- ation of this application to amend the conditions of approval. Mr. Mandrell addressed the Board and requested condition of approval nos. 4 and 7 to be deleted from the conditions of approval imposed on Tentative Parcel Map No. 79-584. He requested condition no. 4 be deleted because of the submittal of a revised site plan which deletes the need for that particular condition. He further requested condition no. 7 be deleted due to the fact that it is not necessary to include parcel no. 5 on this map. Board discussion ensued., It was the consensus of the Board to delete condition of approval nos. 4 and 7 and to expand further on condition no. 6.
