A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA GRANTING A ZONE VARIANCE
(VARIANCE CASE NO. V630 COR VAN BEEK)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES RE-
SOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find
and determine that there was filed with the Planning
Commission the Application of Cor Van Beek (Variance
Case No. V630) requesting a Zone Variance to permit out-
door new boat display within the required parking area
and reduction in number of the off-street parking spaces
required by the Azusa Municipal Code for the property
located at 100 West Foothill Boulevard, Azusa, California;
that a duly noticed public hearing was held on said
application by the Planning Commission and that the
Planning Commission denied the said Zone Variance
Application; that the matter was appealed to the City
Council by the applicant and a duly noticed public hearing
was held by the City Council on said appeal; during the
hearing before the City Council new evidence in the form
of a proposed reduction in the number of off-street park-
ing spaces to be occupied by outdoor display of new boats
was submitted to the City Council; the City Council
determined that the case should be reconsidered by the
Planning Commission based upon the changed evidence and
referred the matter back to the Planning Commission for
that purpose; the matter was reviewed by the Planning
Commission in light of the modified application and the
Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that
the Zone Variance be approved subject to certain conditions.
SECTION 2. After due notice and public hearing
the City Council finds:
A. The subject property is located at 100 West
Foothill Boulevard, Azusa and is zoned C3 (General Commercial).
B. The applicant in his revised application is
requesting a variance to permit new boat display within
five parking spaces and the access thereto located on the
northeast corner of the subject property.
C. The area of the application is designated
central business district by the general plan.
D. The subject property is presently developed
with a 9,470 sq. ft. building and parking area for
22 vehicles. A retail structure of this size requires a
minimum of 38 off-street parking spaces, however, in 1977
a prior variance was granted to allow the reduced off-
street parking. The granting of that variance was by
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1379.
E. The type of business conducted at this
location involves a large display area for the purpose of
displaying several boats. As a result, the anticipated
occupant load per square foot of building is less than the
occupant load per square foot for a business such as a
grocery store. Both the subject business and a grocery store
0
are, however, treated the same in terms of off-street
parking requirements by the Municipal Code.
F. An assessment of environmental impact has
been prepared which indicates that the proposed variance
as revised should have no detrimental environmental effects.
SECTION 3. Zone Variance Case No. V630 is hereby
approved subject to the following conditions:
1. The outdoor display of boats as approved
herein shall be restricted to the five parking spaces and
access thereto located on the northeast corner of the
subject property (at the intersection of Azusa Avenue and
Foothill Boulevard) and in no case shall there be more than
ten boats on outdoor display at any one time.
2. The variance as approved herein shall be for
the outdoor display of new boats on trailers only.
3. This variance shall expire two years from the
date of approval or at the time the use of the subject
property changes from new boat sales or there is a change of
ownership or management, whichever of said conditions first
occurs.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the
adoption of this Resolution.
1979.
