ITEM 3-REQUEST FROM BERT LIEBERT-PIED PIPER THEATER Mr. Liebert thanked the Commission for their generous support last year. He explained that the Pied Piper Theater is currently using the Burgess Theater in Menlo Park for their productions but they must be out of that facility by August 1. They currently have a warehouse on Shasta Street which is used to house their props and stage materials which is leased on a month to month basis. He noted that the warehouse is currently for rent and they may have to vacate at any time. He is looking for a grant to secure a permanent facility in downtown Redwood City and is requesting $400.00 per month for 12 months from the Commission. Chairperson Filippi said he is concerned about the zoning restrictions in the downtown area which state that the first floor of downtown buildings must be occupied by a retail business. Mr. Liebert said Charles Jany told him informally that his group would be welcomed into the downtown area but that a use permit would have to be obtained for the group to occupy a permanent location.
