Special Orders of the Day
SUBJECT:
Title
A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION NO. 1016-16 FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE KEN PORTER AUCTION USE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2019 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 21126, 21140, 21212 S. AVALON BOULEVARD AND 640 E. 213TH STREET (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
On December 27, 2016, Mayor Albert Robles, filed an "Administrative Appeal" pursuant to Section 9173.4 of the Carson Municipal Code, Exhibit No. 1, appealing the Planning Commission's decision to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 1016-16 to extend operations of Ken Porter Auctions for three years to December 31, 2019, Exhibit No. 20. Originally, Conditional Use Permit No. 881-11 authorized this use until December 31, 2016, Exhibit No. 3.
The Mayor's appeal cited that continuing and expanding the present use(s) past December 31, 2016, i.e., an ad hoc storage/junk yard for used cars, trucks, vehicles, etc. for auction, display and/or prepping is inconsistent and/or nonconforming with (i) the current Conditional Use Permit No. 881-11 and/or (ii) the future development plans for this area such that the proposed use and development will be incompatible with the intended character of the area and the continued operations of such unsightly ad hoc storage/junk yards will only delay new developments. Upon direction from the City Council, staff will bring back a resolution for City Council's consideration on February 21, 2017.
