Ms. Kantor noted that they have been trying to get their application before the Planning Commission for a year. She noted that they were having issues in renting the building and made minor repairs to the property. She noted that although they had interested renters, after the repairs none wanted to go through Planning due to zoning issues. Mr. Kantor noted that the zoning has been changed several of times and when a prospective tenant, Peninsula Battery, attempted to go into the location they could not get permits from the Planning Division because they were told the driveway was too narrow. He noted that when they finally were able to get a company to go into the building that was similar to the previous use they were told by the City that the building was deemed abandoned because more than one year had gone by without a use in there. Mr. Kantor pointed out that they are seeking a one year extension as explained in the abandonment clause. Chairperson Teglia clarified that this was a non-conforming use issue that needed to be looked at thoroughly by staff. He directed staff research the matter and get back to Mr. & Ms. Kantor in one week. CONSENT CALENDAR 1.
