I��Ol��lylllfllllllALllul�l "J f ME I D TE lii�u�► " ci o san �u�s oB�spo a We COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER' FROM: Arnold Jonas, Community Development -- Director PREPARED BY: Greg Smith, Associate Planner(-,- n SUBJECT: Consideration of a City Council Use Permit to to allow the Chamber of Commerce to erect a tent in the Mission Plaza. CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution approving the use permit request. DISCUSSION: The Chamber of commerce sponsors an annual "SLO EXPO" event in the Mission Plaza. he Chamber wants to use a tent to house food booths, to make it easier to comply with Health Department requirements. Council approval is required by the Municipal Code for tent permits. The tent would be located in front of the trellis area in the Plaza, and would be approximately 20 feet by 50 feet. A similar tent was approved by the Council for last year's SLO EXPO. The tent ordinance also requires inspection and approval of the tent by the Building Official, Fire Marshal and Health Officer. These officials have reviewed the tent plans, and support the application. The conditions of approval in the attached draft resolution provide for the annual use of a tent for the SLO EXPO event, without subsequent hearings by the Council. The conditions also provide for a revocation process, if conditions of approval are violated, or if written complaints are filed. These provisions are similar to those often adopted for intermittent uses, as defined in the Zoning Regulations. ALTERNATIVES The Council may wish to direct staff to prepare a draft amendment to the Municipal Code delegating authority over tents to the Building Official or Administrative Hearing Officer, to avoid the need for Council hearings on this type of application.
