The Community Development Director reported on May 26, 1993, the Planning Commission considered and approved the revocation of Use Permit No. 90-20, which allows single family residential use in the C-1 zone at 528 South School Street.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED - 7:18 p.m. Sidney Mauer, applicant, 10401 West Road, Redwood Valley, read a letter from Bill Waring, property manager of 528 South School Street. The letter indicated the tenants have been evicted and the property is vacant, he never received any complaints from the neighbors, the tenants complied with his few requests to maintain the outside of the residence and always paid their rent on time. He feels the misbehavior of tenants is not a legal basis for revoking a Use Permit. He stated since the Planning Commission revoked the Use Permit this property cannot be rented; and therefore, inflicts damage to the landlord. Dr. Mauer indicated that he has had difficulty in talking to City staff regarding conditions that could be met in order to comply with the Planning Commission's desires. He also noted the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting were not readily available. He verified there are no tenants at this time. Discussion and questioning ensued regarding the original two conditions of the Use Permit, how and when they were met, and the history of rental dates and uses. Bruce Crook Jr., 650 N. Bush Street, stated he manages the property next door and offered to answer any of Council's questions. Discussion and questions ensued regarding how Mr. Crook's property tenants issued their complaints and whether a tall hedge would be satisfactory to shield the adjacent properties from each other. Mr. Crook answered in the affirmative. Mr. Crook stated his business staff, spouses and customers have been threatened and harassed by the tenants living at 528 South School Street, resulting in calls to the Police. He indicated this problem has existed since 1988, and feels this property does not lend itself well to residential use. Tim Beaversdorf, 921 Marlene Street, partner with Bruce Crook in the business located at 532 S. School Street, stated there has been problems with this residence for the past five years due to lack of concern from the landlords. He noted the living conditions at this property are substandard and do not benefit the current downtown revitalization efforts. He feels this property should be reconditioned and upgraded before a Use Permit is reissued. As requested by Council, City staff distributed a Police Log of calls received from 1987 to 1993, responding to 528 South School Street. Mayor Schneiter requested this Police Log be entered as evidence presented at this hearing for the public record. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED - 7:42 p.m. Discussion ensued regarding the building's size, staff contacts with the applicant since the Planning Commission meeting, allowed uses for C-1 zoning, neighboring property current and past uses, landlord's potential risk with bad tenants, and possible further conditions for this property with a Use Permit.

July 7, 1993 Page 3 landscaping plan, automatic irrigation be weed free, building a fence to conform to City specifications, extending the parking pad to the back of the lot, and creating an exterior which would look like a residence. Discussion ensued regarding revocation without prejudice, stipulations, possible conditions, timeframes for conditions to be met, landlord responsibility, tenant responsibility, and Planning Commission's management plan lack of clarity and specifics. M/S Malone/Schneiter to uphold the Planning Commission's revocation of Use Permit No. 90-20 without prejudice, with the findings that residential use is detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood, based on the documented Police calls to that address. The City Attorney advised Council that past conditions change with tenants, necessitating additional findings. Council and the City Attorney discussed possible alternatives for future use. Councilmember Malone stated there exists evidence in the record that there have been an increasing number of Police calls to this site, even with different tenants. Discussion ensued regarding findings for future use. It was the consensus of Council to allow Councilmember Shoemaker to question Dr. Mauer. Councilmember Shoemaker asked Dr. Mauer if he would agree with the City to specific conditions and improvements, in writing, for allowed future residential use. Dr. Mauer stated the problem has been vagueness and he would welcome written specifics and agreed to discuss the matter with City staff. Councilmember Malone withdrew his motion on the floor.
