sign. The business is located at the north most end of the Oakley Seaver Plaza, but the vehicle is
being parked towards the south side, approximately 380 feet away from the business, towards
Hwy 50. Compliance of this violation will be when all vehicles displaying any type of signage
for The Cycling Hub are not being displayed as a sign. If all parking near the store is unavailable,
additional parking exists in suitable areas around the plaza for parking company vehicles.
Bryan Davis, 1865 Mariposa Way, stated that they have been contacted by Suzanne for this issue
before. He stated that vehicle has been in various positions within the plaza complex for the past
seven years. He stated that it wasn't until the past twelve months that they have been notified
and cited because of the position of the vehicle. He stated the vehicle has been in the position for
no less than six months with no notice prior to this. He stated that in the lease agreement with
the plaza they are required to park their company vehicles and employee's vehicles in the outer
parking spaces, allowing customers to have the closer parking spaces. He stated that if he wanted
to use the vehicle as a sign he would park it near Highway 50. He stated that it is 370 feet from
his business. He stated that with the trees and other signage on the outer areas of the plaza the
vehicle is obstructed from being seen. He stated that he does not feel he should be dictated where
within the plaza he should park his company vehicle.
Harold Warren, Property Manager for Oakley Seaver Plaza, stated that this violation was
forwarded to him recently. He stated that he agrees with Mr. Davis that it is required the tenants
and employees to park on the outer parking areas so that the customers can have the closer
parking spaces.
Board member Rini asked if there are a required number of parking spaces for each tenant.
Mr. Warren stated that there is not any assigned parking for each tenant.
Board member Rini asked how many handicap spaces there were.
Mr. Warren stated that he was not sure how many handicap spaces there were.
Board member Seidler asked how many tenants were in this building.
Mr. Warren stated that there are multiple tenants within the plaza.
Board member Forte stated that he agrees with Mr. Davis. He stated that if the ordinance does
not state how many feet the vehicle has to be parked from business, then he cannot vote to issue
a violation on this issue.
City attorney Dan Mantzaris read the code and warned that this is not the only tenant and if voted
against the code it can cause a wide spread issue.
Vice -Chair Mannella stated that the tenants have signs on their businesses and the provisions
pertaining to the signs on vehicles are very difficult to decide on.

Board member Forte stated that he accepts the business man's argument that he chooses not to
park up front to take away from his customers. He stated that he feels the ordinance needs to be
updated.
Board member Gorgone stated that what is relevant is whether there is a violation of the City's
code and whether the Staff has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the vehicle is parked
driverless for an extended period of time and positioned so far away from the business as to
appear as an advertisement. He stated that he feels the Staff has met the burden of proof.
Tom Gorgone made a motion to find the Respondent in violation of the cited City code with no
fine accessed • seconded by Larn Seidler. The vote was 4-2 in favor of finding the Respondent in

at that time. He stated that the poles were moved when they realigned the road so the power
lines were placed near the trees.

that the Respondent not be brought back before the Board at a later date. He stated that they can
be given two or three months to allow the compliance.
Board member Forte stated that they should vote on the matter, he does not want them to come
back before the Board. He stated that he can understand that the Respondent is a Church and
they will need to raise the money to allow them to purchase trees, so he would suggest giving
them four months to comply.
