330, Construct a tennis court, with, Staff ReportsCity Council Agenda
November 10, 1986
Item #3A
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager
SUBJECT: Letter from Norman R. LaCaze
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council continue to/maintain
the Moratorium on the construction of tennis courts in a uniform
fashion. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council receive
the letter from Mr. Norman R. LaCaze, regarding exception to the
Tennis Court Moratorium, and file it in the appropriate manner.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council instituted an interim Urgency Ordinance
which created a Moratorium on the construction of tennis courts
within the City. Subsequently, on September 8, 1986, the City
Council extended the Moratorium for an additional 10 months, 15
days.
With the institution of a Moratorium, those applications for
tennis courts which were then in progress, were placed in abeyance,
as regards either their approval and/or implementation. Mr. Norman
R. LaCaze was one of those applicants affected by the Tennis Court
Moratorium. Also affected were the Hemmats, the Ceasars, and the
Lams.
Staff plans to have a preliminary draft report available for
the Planning Commission at it's November 18, 1986 meeting. A report
regarding tennis court policies and procedures should be available
for City Council consideration in early 1987. Although it may be
considered an inconvenience on the part of those applicants who have
been affected by the Moratorium, it is recommended that the City
Council apply the affects of the Moratorium uniformly, not only upon
those who wish to make an application, but those who have already
made application. In very basic terms, the issue is the same. At
issue are the policies and procedures which govern the construction
of tennis courts within the community. For the purpose of
evaluating a Conditional Use Permit for tennis court construction,
the matter of a new application or an application in progress is not
distinguishable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is none.
