HUNTINGTON BEACH
The Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to table a measure to revoke a conditional use permit for the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center until late November.
Commissioner Bob Biddle dissented and Commissioner Jan Shomaker was absent.
The center cares for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife native to California.
Revocation of the permit would require the center, which has been operating since 1998, to close. The center has yet to fulfill some conditions for the permit set by the city.
The unmet conditions include obtaining a building permit for an on-site trailer, paving a 25,000-square-foot parking lot and improving curbs and gutters on Newland Street or paying $18,000 in lieu of the work.
Commissioner Connie Mandic said the measure was tabled to give the center more time to comply with the conditions.
