RE: Rainbow Foods Site - Gas Station Facility - 5801 Kern Road.
Mr. Frank,
It is the City's understanding that KTJ and/or Flemming Properties d is not the owner of the 5801 Kern
Road property; and that your firm is the owner.
As you are aware, your property does maintain a Conditional Use Permit (C.U.P.) for the operation of a
"gasoline station". Such C.U.P. was initially issued to the Flemming Properties and/or KTJ Limited
Partnership Eleven - in May 2001. I have attached for your file a copy of the C.U.P. permitting such gas
station.
However, the C.U.P. for such gas station will expire on July 1 2004 as such facility would not have been
in use for more than one year. Should the C.U.P. expire, the infrastructure (pumps, tanks, canopy, etc) and
the operation of same, would be in violation of City ordinance - operating without a C.U.P. Ultimately, the
City could require you to remove such infrastructure and the restore the property to a condition suitable to
the City.
Alternatively, you would need to reapply to the City for a new C.U.P. to again operate and maintain such
facility - but such re-application must be submitted and approved by the City.
Be advised, that this letter is to inform you that the City will expect full compliance and with the
requirement of a C.U.P. (and any other agreement) and that operations must substantially re-commence
prior to the July 1, 2004 date.
