RESOLUTION NO. 6620
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA GRANTING A VARIANCE (VARIANCE CASE
NO. V-543 LAWRENCE ROBONE)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find and
determine that there was filed with the Planning Commission
the application of Lawrence Robone (Variance No. V-543) re-
questing a variance to permit a reduced setback of 0' instead
of the required 15' for a commercial development abutting an
"R" zone; that a hearing thereon was duly conducted by the
Planning Commission and that the Planning Commission approved
the variance subject to conditions; that the matter was
appealed to the City Council by adjoining property owners;
that the City Council held a hearing thereon and proper and
legal notice of the hearing was duly given.
SECTION 2. After due notice and public hearing,
the City Council finds:
(a) The subject property is located at 650/660
South Azusa Avenue and is zoned C2 (restricted commercial).
(b) The applicant is proposing to develop the
subject property with a commercial or office complex consisting
of three structures plus parking. The two buildings adjacent
to Azusa Avenue are proposed to be developed next to the side
property lines; the rear building will be set back from all
property lines.
(c) The property to the north and east is zoned
R3(a). The zoning ordinance requires a 15' setback for a
commercial development when it is adjacent to property in the
"R" zone.
(d) The strict application of the zoning ordinance
would deprive the owner of privileges enjoyed by other property
in the same vicinity and in the same zone inasmuch as the
location of a building within the 15' setback if the height of
said commercial building is restricted to 20' would contribute
to the most beneficial use of the subject property and would
not unduly interfere with the use of the residential property
adjacent thereto.
(e) The granting of the variance will have no
detrimental environmental effects.
SECTION 3. Variance Case No. V-543 is hereby
approved subject to the following conditions:
1. Any and all existing utility easements shall
be protected and any and all existing utilities and appurtenances
shall be protected in place or adequate easements and utility relo-
cations shall be provided to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Any costs incurred as a result of any such realignment or relocation
including but not limited to, purchase of right-of-way, preparation
and recording of easements, plans, permits, construction, shall be
the total responsibility of the developer.
2. Developer shall provide adequate protection of
utilities and access to the same, whether existing or relocated
as indicated in condition 1 above, and the same shall be maintained
at all times.
3. All construction shall comply with plot plan submitted
except for any relocation of the structure in question to comply
with condition number 1 above.
4. The maximum building height for any building
located within the required 15' setback shall not exceed 20'
5. Any and all roof mounted equipment shall be located
outside of the 15' setback. Said equipment shall be screened
from view and said screening shall be done in such a manner so as
to be compatible with the architecture of the structures proposed.
Said roof top equipment consisting of motors, compressors and
the like shall be located in a soundproofed structure so as to
minimize the potential disturbance to adjacent properties.
6. All air intakes and exhausts on all air handling
equipment shall be designed, installed, and operated in such a
manner so as to prevent any perceptible acceleration of air move-
ment across the property line. Any cooling towers and condensors
shall be designed, installed, and operated in a manner that will
prevent water spray from being carried across the property lines.
7. Any illumination from any roof mounted equipment or
required for any roof mounted equipment shall be properly screened
so as not to reflect on the adjacent property.
8. All necessary permits shall be obtained.
9. The privacy and property rights of adjacent property
owners shall be protected.
10. Developer shall assure that there is adequate
separation of land uses from those of adjoining property owners.
11. The development shall be pursued in accordance
with sound planning principals.
12. All construction shall comply with applicable
building and fire regulations.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the
adoption of this resolution.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 6th day of February, 1978.
