Item No. 1 (continued) Zoning Administrator Patterson presented overheads of exhibits in the subject report and replied to questions related to the site of the proposed food operation. Mayor Claire declared the public hearing open at 7:37 p.m. Jim Plemons, 158 South Palomar, part owner of Sudano's Deli at 2205 Middlefield Road, and West Bay Realty, and one of the appellants, said he is concerned about health code requirements with relation to the sale of food outdoors and that a precedent is being set with regard to allowing outdoor food sales in parking lots, suggesting it creates a bad city image. Sal Sudano, 2449 Caroline Avenue, part owner of Sudano's Deli, said a food cart business will have an adverse effect on his competing food business across the street from The Price Club and urged approval of the appeal. In response to questions, Mr. Sudano acknowledged that the appellants have not protested to the County previously about health code requirements for other outdoor businesses. Hal Bryman, 4901 Marina Boulevard, San Diego, representing The Price Club, said that a clearance regarding health code requirements was received from San Mateo County for the foodcart operation before application was made to the City for the subject Use Permit. Mr. Bryman said that the hot dog cart is intended to be a convenience for persons leaving the store, that the food served is available in bulk inside, that customers will not be encouraged to linger because of the value of parking places, and that the cart operation is not expected to draw any customers who are not already shoppers at the store. Jim Plemons ( see above) said that unlike other pushcarts in the City, the proposed food cart would not have to move every 15 minutes, and in response to questions, said that some of his deli business is from Price Club shoppers and that traffic from the store may also adversely affect his business. Mayor Claire invited anyone else present who wished to speak to do so. No one wished to speak. M /S: Stangel /Britschgi to close the public hearing. Carried unanimously by voice vote and public hearing closed at 7:56 p.m. M /S: Britschgi /Bury to uphold the decision of the Zoning Administrator and deny the appeal of the approval by the Zoning Administrator of application by the Price Company for Use Permit to allow sale of food from a portable cart in conjunction with a bulk /retail facility, 2300 Middlefield Road - Jim Plemons, Tom J.
