1. PLN2009-12 Continued Public Hearing (from the Planning Commission
Ramos, J. meetings of April 28, March 24, and May 12, 2009) to consider
the application of Mr. Jonathan Ramos, on behalf of Stantec
Architectural Inc., for a Modification (PLN2009-12) to a
previously-approved Conditional Use Permit (UP83-07) to
allow 24-hour operation of an existing Arco service station
(convenience market and service pumps) on property owned
by BP West Coast Products located at 1860 W. Campbell
Avenue in a C-1-S (Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning
District. Staff is recommending that this project be deemed
Categorically Exempt under CEQA. Planning Commission
action final unless appealed in writing to the City Clerk within
10 calendar days. Project Planner: Daniel Fama, Assistant
Planner
Chair Ebner advised that staff has received a memo from the applicant requesting the
withdrawal of their application. He asked staff what is the next step.
City Attorney William Seligmann advised that there is nothing to act on any more. He
added that he suspected that this item would be back at a later date either voluntarily,
through a Code Enforcement proceeding or for action to modify or revoke the existing
Use Permit.

REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
There were no additions to this report.
Commissioner Rocha stated that this applicant appears to have gone out of his way to
waste the time of the Planning Commission and staff. That is very bad form. He
added that he hoped that they would have at least come before the Commission to
explain their case. He expressed disappointment.
Chair Ebner concurred.
