REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 2016-3617 PLN14-0134 - 1200 Park Street - Hearing to Consider Modification to An Existing Use Permit for Automotive Repair at 1200 Park Street (Big O Tires site). A petition from the neighborhood is requesting review and termination of the existing Use Permit UP88-36, as amended by PLN14- 0134, for 1200 Park Street Staff Member Thomas gave the staff presentation. The staff report and attachments can be found at: https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=2889232&GUID=FCA3607E DBF8-45B7-8EF7-OEBD8A470711&FullText=1 President Köster asked staff to comment on the letter the board received today from the property owner's attorney. Staff Attorney Brown said they received the letter and they are still trying to process some of the allegations in the letter. She said if the board is leaning towards adding a termination clause to the use permit, that it might be prudent to continue the hearing until they can address the letter and potentially amend the resolution accordingly. President Köster opened the public hearing. Bobbie Centurion lives in the neighborhood and spoke in favor of expiring the use permit when the current tenant leaves. She said the business is not compatible with the location. She said the use creates pollution. Dave Blackwell, attorney for the property owner, said the use permit runs with the land and cannot be wished away. He said the use permit can only be revoked if the permit holder is in violation of the terms of the use permit or the law. Rick Oneil, Big O Tires, said they want to continue to operate in Alameda and are in escrow to purchase the property and continue to operate with the existing use permit restrictions. Art Thoms, owner of the neighboring laundromat, said the current use has had a negative effect on the neighborhood. He said they have been in violation of their use permit for years. He asked the board to terminate their use permit. Jim Lott said the operation impacts parking in the neighborhood. He said he would like to see this end of Park St. improve.
