A. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 17-02 (DENIAL) -On May 15, 2017, the Planning Commission considered
the public hearing for Conditional Use Permit 17-02, a request to establish a card dealer school (vocational
school use) at 8518 Valley Boulevard, Unit #6110. After considering all testimony and facts available, the
Planning Commission took no action on the Conditional Use Permit application (CUP 17-02), as the motion
to deny CUP 17-02 resulted in a vote of two ayes and two noes. Since no action was taken with the initial
vote, City Attorney Murphy explained two options to the Planning Commission: [1] continue this matter to a
future Planning Commission Meeting where five Planning Commissioners are present or [2] continue to
discuss the matter. The Planning Commission unanimously voted to continue this matter to the Planning
Commission Meeting of June 19, 2017.
On June 19, 2017, the Planning Commission reconvened the public hearing for Conditional Use Permit 17-
02. At the end of the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted to deny Conditional Use Permit 17-02.
In addition, the Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a resolution for the denial of Conditional Use
