PlanningBoard | 2015-11-09 | 5 | Gary Voss, owner of Big O Tires, asked for approval of the use permit and stated it was a short term solution and that he looked forward to moving to a new location on Oak St. with lots of space. Paul Grossman said he has used Big O's services for many years and visits neighboring businesses when he drops off his car. He said they have made a significant contribution to Alameda over the years. Guido Bertoli of Big O Tires spoke about their efforts to secure a new location which has taken them off site recently which might have affected availability of the valet service. He said burdensome conditions that pit businesses against each other are not healthy and a bad precedent. Bobbie Centurion, a neighbor, asked the Board to allow the use permit to enable them to operate at the current location for the next two years until they can transition to the new space. Art Thoms, owner of the laundromat across the street from Big O, said he has reluctantly been the watchdog for nine years. He said he is mostly concerned with the usage of the meters for Big O employees' and customers' cars. He asked why Goodyear has to do all their work inside, but not Big O. President Knox White closed the public hearing. Board Member Zuppan wants to add the valet parking to the use permit. Board Member Henneberry moved to approve the permit with the valet parking condition. Board Member Mitchell seconded the motion. The motion passed 7-0. 7-D 2015-2262 Planning Board Rules and Procedures. Approve Revisions to the Planning Board Rules and Procedures to Improve the Public Hearing Process. A change to the Rules and Procedures is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. Board Member Zuppan asked what the process would be for members of the public to propose corrections to the minutes. President Knox White opened the public hearing.
