o That the records indicate that there was a lapse in use of the property during 1990. The Permit Holder was notified that a 12 month lapse of use would cause the conditional use permit to be voided. The Permit Holder failed .to respond to City Staff requests for proof of continued use of the property until thirty-seven 37 days after the given deadline. That on March 29, 1991, City Staff notified the Permit Holder that an amendment to the conditional use permit was necessary because auto repair operations at the subject property had expanded beyond the scope allowed under the terms of the conditional use permit. Over the course of the next nine (9) months, the Permit Holder failed to respond to the City's request for an application for an amended conditional use permit and consequently, a public hearing to consider revocation of the permit was scheduled for January 28, 1992. o That on November 29, 1991, an inspection of the subject property noted violations of the conditional use permit consisting of repair of vehicles not for sale on the property; excessive number of vehicles on the site; vehicles on the site exceeding one ton gross weight; outside storage of inventory, parts, tires, partially disassembled vehicles; illegal signs. That on January 13, 1992, a police incident report was filed regarding a car fire on the subject property. The fire was the result of salvage activities, which activity is a violation of the conditional use permit and City ordinances. 10.
