3520 E. Coast Highway
SUMMARY: Appeal of the Planning Commission's decision not to review Use Permit
No. 1908 Amended.
ACTION: Continue the discussion of the item to December, 11, 2001
APPELLANT: Mr. Gary Martin, 323 Narcissus Avenue
Discussion
On October 18, 2001, The Planning Commission considered evidence and testimony regarding the
operation of Carmelo's Ristorante. The discussion was initiated by the City due to complaints
received from area residents regarding noise from live entertainment activities. The question
presented to the Planning Commission was whether of not there is there sufficient cause to hold the
Carmelo's Use Permit for review. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Planning Commission
was unable to develop a consensus and deadlocked 3 -3 on the issue. This action has the effect of
not initiating a formal review of Carmelo's use permit.
On October 31, 2001, Mr. Gary Martin, filed an appeal of the action. Mr. Martin testified at the
Planning Commission meeting and he maintains that the Carmelo's operation negatively impacts
his peace and quiet. The appeal has been placed upon this agenda within 30 days of the filing of the
appeal as required pursuant to Chapter 20.95 Appeals and Calls for Review. Staff has requested that
the matter be continued to December 11, 2001 due to holiday scheduling and workload. The
appellant has agreed to the continuance request. A full supplemental report will be prepared and
transmitted with the December 11, 2001 agenda.
