The permit required compliance with these conditions by July 18, 2024; however, staff <br />extended the deadline to December 31, 2024. The CUP conditions were not on schedule to be satisfied by <br />the end of December and the applicant applied for an amendment on December 26, 2024. <br /> <br />On March 17, 2025, the city approved an amendment (CU 24-22) to the original CUP, which extended the <br />compliance deadline to July 1, 2025, as requested by the applicant. When compliance was not achieved by that <br />date, staff extended the deadline to August 25, 2025, and, again, granted a final extension to September 30, <br />2025. <br /> <br />As documented in the attached correspondence, staff have made consistent efforts to work with the applicant <br />to facilitate compliance with the conditions of the CUP. <br /> <br />The City Council can choose to extend the deadline for compliance with the conditions of approval for the <br />two CUPs, or direct staff to schedule a public hearing to discuss the possible revocation of the CUPs. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Ethical, efficient, and responsible. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
