MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 9, 1992 courtesy cars. When the cars reach 45,000 miles, he then either trades them in or wants to sell them wholesale or to his customers. Drabik pointed out that the City has always made properties come into compliance with Code when processing CUP applications. Drabik asked if action on this application should be delayed until the Commission has a list of deficiencies for the property. Pederson pointed out that the CUP would not change anything with regard to the operation of the business. It is merely a way for the business owner to save tax dollars. O'Connell reported that he has always complied with whatever the City has requested of him. The City Planner stated that he is not implying that Mr. O'Connell did not comply with whatever conditions the City imposed when his business was originally approved. Pedersen suggested that perhaps staff should check to determine that original conditions have been complied with. O'Connell asked about these original conditions, and stated that he cannot remember that any special conditions were imposed on him in order to open his business. Drabik pointed out that the business may have complied with previous Code requirements; however,, the Code has changed, and standards may be higher than they were when the business originally went in. The Planner replied that this is correct, and it is the City's option to enforce the new standards at this time. Pedersen did not feel new standards should be enforced if the operation of the business is not changing. Pedersen stated that he only wanted to be assured that the original requirements were met. Carson asked if the business owner could buy junk vehicles and repair and sell them under the CUP that is being requested. O'Connell replied that this is not what he is requesting. O'Connell reported that his intent is to run his business the way he always has. Page 6
