There was some discussion on whether or not an administrative staff committee
should be formed to handle such applications in order to avoid unnecessary
delay to the property owner by bringing it before the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission noted that there was enough variety in the uses re-
quired to warrant evaluation on an individual basis, and in any event, this
is a matter which the Planning Commission should continue to hear, review~
and approve.
Following this discussion~ Vice-Chairman Hale moved that the Planning Commission
adopt the staff report and approve UP-297 subject to the applicant compl;YJ-ng
with the conditions contained in the staff report. Commissioner Lazzari seconded
the motion and it was passed unanimously by those who were present.

a job training center and school at 217 E. Grand Avenue, South San Francisco.
Secretary Hale directed William Costanzo to read the staff report. During
this reading, several changes were made to the report as follows:
Condition #11 was added that the applicant must conform with all City of South
San Francisco codes and ordinances.
Condition #12 was added that the @ity's Zoning Administrator shall report to
the Planning Commission the status of compliance with all conditions within
60 days from the date of approval.
In the staff report under "Evaluation" the words !levening hours" were changed

Opponent:
None
There was some discussion as to why the job training center is actually in
operation, prior to obtaining a Use Permit. Ms. O'Connor pointed out that
the center is federally funded and that the funding would be jeopardized if
the center were not in full operation on a continuous basis. Therefore,
when they vacated their previous facilities, they had to immediately continue
operations at their new location.
After this discussion, Commissioner Lazzari moved that the Planning Commission
adopt the staff report and approve UP-298 subject to the applicant complying
with City requirements and that staff is to report back to the Commission in
60 days regarding compliance. Commissioner Slade seconded the motion and it
was passed unanimously by those who were present.

There was some discussion on the requirement of the Police Department that
the applicant place a cyclone fence across the back and south side of the
property. It appears that a wooden fence already exists across the back of
the property. Staff will check with the Police Department to clarify this
condition. A suggested better wording of this condition was "Chain link
fencing shall be installed subject to the approval of the City of South San
Francisco Police Department," which was approved by the Planning Commission
as one of the conditions of the Use Permit.
After this discussion, Commissioner Mullin moved that the Planning Commission
adopt the staff report and approve UP-299 subject to the applicant complying
with the conditions of the staff report. Vice-Chairman Hale seconded the
motion and it was passed unanimously by those who were present.

A Mr. William John had written a letter to the Zoning Division requesting
clarification of the zone district that could permit palmistry readers. Staff
reported that there is no classification for this use in the City's Zoning Ordin-
ance. Commissioner Mullin moved that the Planning Commission direct staff to
look into this matter, checking to see if licensing is required by the State
for palmistry readers, and reporting back to the Commission within 60 to 90
days. Commissioner Slade seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously
by those who were present.
William Costanzo read a letter to the Planning Commission from Coast/QRS Signs

exercising their right to appeal the previous decision of the Planning Commission

at the outset to the proposed sign. The Commission indicated its willingness
to conduct another hearing on the revised design of the sign.
A request was made by City Council that the Planning Commission confirm a
meeting date for a joint study session of the Commission and City Council
for February 26, 1975 in the Conference Room of City Hall at 7:30 p.m.
The public hearing on the Environmental Impact Report for the Public Safety

GOOD
WELFARE
Commissioner Teglia presented a request to the Commission from Home Owners
Association wanting to know what is being done in regard to condition compliance
for Use Permit No. 273 eEl Rancho Drive-In).
The Planning Commission requested copies of "Crime Prevention Through Physical
Planning" to be forwarded to them.
Surendra Amin, 628 Madison, Redwood City, addressed the Planning Commission,
bringing to their attention the following items:
1) Late notification of public hearing on Use Permit 203 (Modified). This
notice of hearing appeared in the December 4, 1974 newspaper, instead
of the November 29, 1974 newspaper, and therefore, was not in compliance
with the 10 day advance notice for the December 10 Planning Commission
meeting.
2) Use Permit procedure for the Enterprise-Journal building expansion. The
use permit was approved by the Planning Commission on March 12, 1974.
Because this use is in the P.C.M. zone district, it requires ratifica-
tion by City Council, which was not done.
3) Status of the sign at Ernie's Wine Warehouse. Mr. Amin asked if there
was a use permit on the sign on the front of Ernie's Wine Warehouse.
There being under Good and Welfare, and no
further communications matters of interest for the Commission,
Chairman Mathewson announced the next regular meeting of the Planning Com-
mission would be held January 28, 1975 at 8:00 p.m. in the West Orange
Library Auditorium.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:10 p.m.
