RECOMMENDATIONS
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council take the following action:
• Deny the applicant's appeal and uphold the revocation of Conditional Use Permit
PA-99-09 on the basis that the Sandpiper Motel has operated in violation and/or as
a public nuisance such that revocation of the Conditional Use Permit is appropriate.
Please refer to the Planning Commission staff report dated April 14, 2014 (Attachment 5)
for detailed information and analysis related to the revocation.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has the following alternatives:
• Uphold the Planning Commission's determination that the Sandpiper Motel has
been operated in violation of the conditions of approval in Conditional Use Permit
PA-99-09 and/or as a public nuisance, such that revocation of the CUP is justified;
and revoke, or in lieu of revocation, amend the conditions of the CUP; or
• Conclude that there are insufficient findings that the Sandpiper Motel has been
operated in violation of the conditions of approval of Conditional Use Permit PA-
99-09 or as a public nuisance. The existing conditions of approval regulating the
motel would remain as originally approved.
