ROLL CALL
Council members present: Camacho, Pinson, Morgan. Absent: Dalla, Reid.
Administrative officials present: Campbell, Gill.
City Manager Gill stated the meeting was called to reconsider the action
of Council in determining the appeal of Planning Commission Res. 36-77
which related to the planned development permit to allow expansion of
the Nite-Lite Inn Motel on property commonly known as 521 Roosevelt
Avenue; at the Council meeting of 5/17/77 action was taken to appeal the
Planning Commission action which had approved the development. Mayor
Morgan stated that when Council appealed the ruling it stopped the
Planning Dept. from issuing all permits but that the main concern of
Council was to keep the writing off the wall of the building. Councilman
Camacho stated it wasn't his intention to stop the development but rather
to control the graffitti. Planning Director Gerschler stated he dis-
cussed this with the City Attorney and if the only question is removing
graffitti -- if the applicant appears and indicates that he will agree
to a condition that he will be required to remove graffitti as it appears,
Council can accept that condition, attach it to the record and dismiss
all appeal proceedings. Councilman Camacho stated this would be in
keeping with efforts to keep the City clean and attractive; he had no
intention of hampering the development of the property. MARK GROSVENOR,
a principal owner of the Nite-Lite Inn, was present and stated they have
allocated in their budget funds to keep the maintenance of the building
up; they would be willing to do anything Council directed to be done to
keep the graffitti at a minimum. Planning Director Gerschler stated
staff is recommending Council attach a condition to the case that would
require operators of the motel to remove graffitti from the exterior
walls of the building upon notification by the City within a reasonable
period of time. Moved by Pinson, seconded by Camacho, Council reconsider
the action by Council. Mr. Grosvenor stated he would agree to this and
realized that he is waiving his rights to a hearing. Carried by
unanimous vote. Absent; Dalla, Reid. Moved by Camacho, seconded by
Pinson, Council dismiss the appeal procedure. Carried by unanimous vote.
Absent: Dalla, Reid.
