Approved 2/5/14 2 selective enforcement. I think when you have enforcement, you enforce those who are not in compliance but the 55 enforcement actions and the litigation etc. that will follow will take precious time from the planning department and 56 the legal hypothesis of the County on this and I question that in the area of minor home occupation. I think with that 57 I’ll let others comment. 58 59 Herman Staats: I have no comments, I thought it was nicely done and it has been discussed here many times so I 60 have no other comments. 61 62 James Lea: No comments at this time. 63 64 Buddy Hartley: I don’t have any problems with the standards set. 65 66 Maxecine Mitchell: I agree with them. 67 68 Tony Blake: I reread it and I don’t have any issues with it. I think it is well put together. 69 70 Johnny Randall: I read it and I couldn’t find anything of concern. However, what Paul just brought up, so in terms of 71 people not conforming to these regulations, how is it going to be enforced? Is it going to just create contempt for 72 the law for people who don’t think they can be caught? 73 74 Pete Hallenbeck: Let me throw my two cents in on that and then see what Michael says. I think what you said is 75 very true. You have all these ordinances and there are always people who are going to fly under the radar and do 76 what they want but I think part of the goal here is that if somebody is doing that and it is bothering their neighbors 77 there is a recourse. I don’t know how you get people to follow the rules, it is very difficult, but I do like the fact that 78 at least they are there. It is very difficult to call out a neighbor, it’s a catch 22, we all want to be able to do what we 79 can but we like to be able to stop someone else if it is bothersome to us. 80 81 Pete Hallenbeck: Michael, does that pretty much jive with what...... 82 83 Michael Harvey: I’m not going to add anything. Thank you though. 84 85 Pete Hallenbeck: I have two things, one is a question about 5.4.3 special events where it talks about arts and 86 cultural special events in particular it calls out the Orange County Open Studio Tour. The other thing that I am 87 familiar with is the farm tour. 88 89 Ashley Moncado: That is exempt, that would be considered part of a bona fide farm and considered agricultural 90 and covered under a different set of rules. 91 92 Tony Blake: But that just an example. 93 94 Ashley Moncado: Yes, it is being used as an example. That was specifically called out as an example but also to 95 highlight it as well. 96 97 Pete Hallenbeck: That’s fine but by throwing it in there seemed odd to have an ordinance call out a specific event 98 instead of making it in general so I wanted to make sure it was an example. 99 100 Ashley Moncado: We could add “for example”. 101 102 Paul Guthrie: That’s about a 100, anywhere from 90 to 120 artists, who once a year open up their studios in their 103 residences by in large for the tour over two days for two weeks. Every one of those artists will have to pay $90. 104 105 Pete Hallenbeck: So does this get back to your $90 concern then? 106 107 Paul Guthrie: That’s one of them but it’s much more delicate than that. 108 174
