RESOLUTION NO. 8566
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA DENYING THE APPLICATION FOR
A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 992 EAST ALOSTA AVENUE (CASE
NO. C-88-29, WILLIAM WONG).
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. The City Council of the City of Azusa
does hereby find, determine, and declare that:
A. An application was duly filed by William
Wong for a Conditional Use Permit on behalf of
prospective tenant, Eli Deukmaji, to operate an
arcade on the property located at 992 East Alosta
Avenue, legally described as follows:
Parcel 2, as shown on Parcel Map No. 5981,
filed in Book 74, page 29 of parcel map, in
the office of the county recorder of the
County of Los Angeles.
B. A duly noticed public hearing on the
application for the conditional use permit was held
by the Planning Commission of the City of Azusa on
November 23, 1988, and after considering all the
evidence submitted on the application, the Planning
Commission by Resolution No. 2625 approved the
Conditional Use Permit.
C. On December 9, 1988, a timely appeal of
the Planning Commission's action was filed by Art
Morales (hereafter "Appellant").
D. Thereafter, the City Council of the City
of Azusa held a duly noticed public hearing on the
appeal and the application for the Conditional Use
Permit on January 3, 1989, at which time the
appellant and all others were given the opportunity
to speak on the proposed action and all written and
documentary evidence was received by the City
Council.
E. In taking this action, the City Council
has considered the effects of the decision on the
housing needs of the region in which the City is
located and balanced those needs against the public
service needs of the City residents and available
fiscal and environmental resources.
SECTION II. Having considered all the oral and
written evidence presented to it at the duly noticed public
hearing held on January 3, 1989, the City Council finds
that:
FJN/RES2060 • •
A. The subject property is a parcel located
within a larger commercial property at 992 East
Alosta Avenue in the City of Azusa and is located
in the C-3 (General Commercial) Zone.
B. The public necessity, convenience,
welfare, and good zoning practice justifies the
denial of this Conditional Use Permit:
1. The proposed arcade would be located
in a small commercial center adjacent to a
suburban residential area and school. Despite
the enactment of Municipal Code Chapter 8.60
to regulate the operation of arcades, the
presence of arcades in Azusa has caused
serious problems. Disturbances caused by
young customers loitering near the premises
have proved to be disruptive to neighboring
commercial businesses. The operation of
arcades has resulted in increased calls for
police services and other security problems.
The Chief of Police indicated that requiring
the applicant to provide additional security
personnel would be inadequate to alleviate
potential security problems at the proposed
site.
2. The operation of the proposed arcade
will produce negative impacts on the
surrounding area. An elementary school is
located in the vicinity of the proposed
arcade. Truancy problems have been associated
with previous arcades, and the close proximity
of the elementary school to the proposed
arcade increases such risks and concommitant
school district and police involvement. The
arcade's proximity to a nearby residential
area has raised concern among residents aware
of previous disturbances and other unwanted
activities generally occurring in the vicinity
of arcades. Compliance with the arcade
ordinance of the Azusa Municipal Code and the
imposition of additional conditions will be
inadequate to mitigate the negative impacts of
the proposed arcade.
SECTION III. Based on the findings set forth in
Section 2 of this Resolution, the City Council of the City
of Azusa hereby grants the appeal of Conditional Use Permit
No. C-88-79 and reverses the approval of Conditional Use
Permit No. C-88-29 as approved by Planning Commission
Resolution No. 2625.
