SECTION 2. The City Council has considered all of
the information presented to it at the public hearings and
finds that the public necessity, convenience, welfare and
good zoning practice justify the issuance of the Conditional
Use Permit in that:
A. The Subject Property is zoned C-2 (restricted
commercial zone) and is developed with a restaurant
and bar which are permitted uses within the C-2
zone, however, the property is nonconforming with
respect to the existence of substandard parking
facilities, several accessory structures built
without permits and the operation of a public dance
floor without a conditional use permit. The
application wishes to construct modifications to
the accessory structures on the property and .
redesign a portion of the interior of the
restaurant which constitutes an expansion and
alteration of a nonconforming use which can only be
accomplished by means of a conditional use permit
pursuant to Section 19.40.050 of the Azusa
Municipal Code.
B. The improvements proposed will result in a more
attractive appearance for the restaurant's exterior
and interior.
C. The improvements and compliance with the
conditions of approval will substantially improve
the appearance of the Subject Property, enhance its
value and assist in alleviating the parking
problems which previously existed at the subject
property.
D. The proposed improvements and conditions of
approval will also result in the continued
maintenance of the subject property.
E. The location of a public dance floor at the
Subject Property is appropriate for the area given
the conditions of approval, and particularly the
conditions of approval relating to parking, and
should not be detrimental to the surrounding
property uses. The surrounding property uses
consist primarily of low-density residential,
agricultural zones (R -A zone, Chapter 19.12 of the
Azusa Municipal Code) which is intended as an area
particularly suited for light industrial
activities, and commercial uses, consisting
primarily of a restaurant.
F. The conditional use permit is consistent with
the General Plan of the City of Azusa in all
respects. The land use element of the General Plan
designates the Subject Property as general
commercial.

C-347 is hereby.denied and Conditional Use Permit C-347 is
