CITY ATTORNEY > CITY OF CARLSBAD 1200 ELM AVENUE CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA 92008 (714) 729-1 181 October 5, 1976 Mr. Charles C. Renshaw, I1 Renshaw & McCorquodale 332 S. Juniper Street Suite 201 Escondido, California 92025 RE: CUP-60 Gaycrest Kennels Dear Mr. Renshaw: It has been brought to my attention that you represent a party who may be interested in the above-referenced conditional use permit. The permit in question was approved by Planning Commission Resolution No. 730 in 1971. A copy of that resolution is enclosed herewith. You will note that Condition 12 of said resolution requires that a trailer located on the premises be removed. At the present time, the trailer remains on the site and is being used as living quarters on a full- time basis. The trailer is not only in violation of the terms of the conditional use permit, but it is also a violation of Section 5.24.145 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code which prohibits the use of such trailers outside of an authorized mobile home park. This matter has been brought to the attention of Mr. Pollard by the City on numerous occasions, including by a letter from the Planning Director dated July 14, 1976. Discussions have also been held with Mr. Pollard which failed to resolve the matter. The Planning Director's letter of July 23, 1976 and the City Managers letter of August 3, 1976 explained the problem further for Mr. Pollard. Copies of the above- referenced letters are enclosed. Mr. Pollard has not responded to our letters and continues to refuse to comply with the terms of his conditional use permit and continues to persist in his violation of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. As a result, the Planning Commission, on September 22, 1976, adopted Resolution No.131, setting a public hearing to consider the revocation of the Mr. Charles C. Renshaw, I1 October 5, 1976 Page 2 conditional use permit. the Carlsbad City Council Chambers on Wednesday, October 27, 1976, at 7:30 P.M. A copy of the resolution is enclosed. That hearing will be held in It is not the City’s intention to cause unnecessary difficulties for the operators of the Gaycrest Kennels. However, it is not possible for us to continue to allow the terms of the kennel’s permit, and our ordinance, to be violated by Mr. Pollard. Unless the trailer is removed immediately, I would expect that the Planning Commission- would have no choice but to revoke the conditional use permit for a failure of the operator to comply with the conditions of his permit. Please advise if you need any further information in regards to this matter. It remains my hope that I can be resolved without the necessity of closing the kennel or instituting a criminal prosecution for the zoning violation, City Attorney ,J’ VFB/mla Enclosures cc: City Manager Planning Director
