CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING Planning Director Cahill explained that the Conditional Use Permit was crafted from the template that is applicable to every other CUP in Town that has outdoor activities. All contain the same provision of use for permitted amplified sound(five times a year). Council discussion ensued. They concurred that the over use of amplified sound is disruptive to a neighborhood. They agreed to limit the use of the public sound system to five times a year but to modify Condition of Approval #5 to identify two days of use as Opening and Closing of the Little League season and one day for the Town picnic. The additional two days of use will require a written request to the City Council. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by O'Malley, seconded by Warshawsky and passed by the.following roll call vote to approve the request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate parks and recreation facilities at 27500 Purissima Road with a modification to Condition of Approval #5 identifying three of the five times per year for outdoor sound amplification, (specifically, Little League Opening and Closing Days and the Town Picnic) and requiring a request be submitted to the City Council for their approval for the remaining two permitted dates. Staff will notify neighbors within 500 feet of the parks and recreation facilities at 27500 Purissima Road of the two additional events. AYES: Mayor Cheng, Mayor Pro Tem O'Malley, Councilmember Fenwick, Councilmember Kerr and Councilmember Warshawsky • NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 11.3 Lands of Los Altos School District, 25690 Fremont Road(56-04-SD-CUP); A Request for a Conditional Use Permit for Temporary Town Offices Located at the Former Bullis Purissima Elementary School at 25690 Fremont Road for Approximately 15 Months During the Construction of a New Town Hall. Planning Director Cahill explained that the purpose of this CUP was to relocate town operations to Bullis School where staff will be located in the administrative offices and a double-wide trailer located in the front parking lot. The multi-purpose room will be used for Town meetings and public hearings. Cahill noted that the temporary CUP had been reviewed by the Planning Commission and they had voted unanimously to recommend approval for the request. OPENED PUBLIC HEARING Dot Schreiner, Saddle Mountain Drive, commented that the lease of Bullis School for the relocation of Town Hall makes sense but she is concerned by an issue that she believed had not been addressed to date. She questioned if there was a deed restriction on the property that prohibits the use of the property for anything else than a school. She • 14 City Council Meeting Minutes April 15,2004
