Mr. Brofemarkle stated that the 300 square foot game room was for the purpose of providing a diversion for patrons that are waiting to be seated in the rest- aurant. He said no additional parking spaces would be required. This request is similar in nature fo two previous use permits and the same conditions would be attached fo the resolution of approval. Staff recommends approval of Use Permit 80-17 by the adoption of Resolution No. 1908, substantially as drafted. Chairman Salfarelli declared the public hearing open and asked if there was anyone fo speak in favor or opposition fo Use Permit 80-17. Mrs. Kennedy asked if staff thought the electronic games would attract people other than those waiting fo be seated for dining purposes, thus creating a traffic impact. Mr. Brofemarkle said there more likely might be more foot traffic generated by juveniles; if a problem arose if would be regulated by City Code and the Use Permit could be revoked without a hearing upon recammendation of the Police Planning Agency Minutes - August 4, 1980 page 2.

Mr. Brofemarkle said the applicant desired fo expand the non-conforming mobile home park from 199 mobile home spaces fo 200 spaces. Staff has no strong feelings regarding this request either pro or con, as it is rather minute in the total scope of the mobile home park. The lot is an unsightly paved lot which has outlived ifs useful purpose. Staff leaves the decision fo the pleasure of the Agency. Mrs. Kennedy said she had read fhaf they once dried clothes in that location, but now they were not. She asked where they were now drying clothes. Mr. Brofemarkle said they probably have dryer facilities in their laundry room. Mr. Hoesterey asked if the lot would be the same size as other lots for mobile homes. Mr. Brotemarkle said it would be slightly larger. Chairman Salfarelli declared the public hearing open and asked if there was anyone who wished fo speak in favor or opposition fo Variance 80--13. Mr. Les Frame, owner of the park, said he had purchased the park in 1972 and used the lot for storage, but if became unsightly and he closed if down. He said the tenants requested that he convert this lot to a mobile home pad fo make the park more attractive. There being no one else to speak, Chairman Salfarelli declared the public hearing closed. MOTION by Edgar, SECONDED by Sharp, to approve Variance 80-13 in accordance with tho conditions as outlined by the staff. Mrs. Kennedy said that when this park annexed if was over the allowable density and she didn't feel that it should be compounded by adding another lot. She felt if could be an open space area with landscaping. She would, therefore, oppose the motion. Mr. Hoesferey said after viewing the way the park is laid out he felt the re- quest was justified and tho lot was foe small fo have any meaning as open space.

The proposal is fo construct a three-story 19,200 square foot office condominium with two stories above a parking area. Plans had been reviewed by staff and meet all C-2 zoning re- quirements. The reason for a use permit is that all condominium developments require such action. He stated staff would recommend approval of Use Permit No. 80-16 by the adoption of Resolution No. 1907. Discussion was held concerning traffic; the height of the building; the shop- ping center alleyway; and retention of the gasoline pump. Chairman Saltarelli declared the public hearing open and asked if there was anyone fo sp6ak in favor or opposition to Use Permit 80-16. There being no one fo speak, Chairman Salfarelli declared the public hearing closed and asked if the Agency had any comments.

To Mrs. Kennedy's question if the CC&Rs prohibited sale of more than one condo- minium unit fo the same party, staff responded no.
