An application was filed by Delores Bowers and Clarence Chiapuzio for a conditional use permit and precise plan of design for a bar located at 347 South Irwindale Avenue ("Subject Property"). B. A duly noticed public hearing on the application for the conditional use permit and the precise plan of design was held by the Planning Commission of the City of Azusa on November 29, 1989 and, after considering all of the evidence submitted with respect to the application, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 89-94 approving the conditional use permit subject to certain conditions of approval and adopted Resolution No. 89-95 approving the precise plan of design also subject to certain conditions of approval. C. On December 18, 1989, the applicants duly filed a timely appeal from the action of the Planning Commission challenging certain conditions of approval on both the conditional use permit and the precise plan of design. D. On February 5, 1990, the City Council of the City of Azusa held a duly noticed public hearing on the conditional use permit and precise plan of design which hearing was continued to February 20, 1990. At the hearing on February 20, 1990, the Council received evidence from the staff and heard from the applicants and members of the public. The Council has carefully considered all of the evidence and public comments received at the hearing. SECTION 2. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at said public hearings, the City Council further finds, determines and declares that: A. The subject property is a rectangular parcel located at the northwest corner of Irwindale Avenue and Roosevelt Street. The parcel is 88 feet wide and 90 feet deep and is developed with a commercial building located along the front property line. 0 0 B. The Casablanca Bar is currently operating in the northern most portion of the building. Section 19.34.030[68] of the Azusa Municipal Code requires that existing bars in the M2 zone obtain a conditional use permit to continue their operations. C. The property is maintained in fair to poor condition. The front of the building is well maintained and some landscaping is provided along Irwindale Avenue. The right-of-way along Roosevelt Street is barren. The projecting roof sign identifying the bar is no longer permitted under the City's sign ordinance. The rear of the building is utilized for a variety of unpermitted outdoor storage purposes and little parking is available. No trash enclosure is provided on the property. D. Some improvement should be made to this property in order to improve the overall quality of the site. The rear door to the bar, which is remaining from its previous use as an industrial business, should be replaced with an appropriate commercial door. The projecting roof sign should be removed and replaced with an appropriate wall or free-standing sign in conformance with the requirements of the Azusa Municipal Code. Landscaping should be provided within all unpaved areas of the public right-of-way. A trash enclosure should be provided at the rear of the building and an outdoor storage area should be appropriately screened. E. Space for parking is limited both on this site and in particular the surrounding industrial area in general. Subject bar should provide at least four offstreet parking spaces for its customers. However, the rear of the building has only a small open area directly behind the bar which can be utilized for parking. Further, this situation is also found on most nearby properties, effectively eliminating the possibility of finding additional parking elsewhere. The open area behind the bar should be striped to at least clearly identify the parking spaces which are available on the site. F. The Azusa Police Department reports that this bar has generally been operated in a responsible and businesslike manner. There have not been an inordinate number of complaints or police calls generated by this business. If this record is maintained, this bar should be able to continue as a functional component of its surrounding industrial area. G. The operations of this bar have historically not been objectionable or disruptive to the surrounding industrial area. If the aforementioned physical improvements are made to the property, the building and its premises will be compatible with the standards for existing commerical businesses within this industrial area. The responsible -2- pmt/RES83002 0 operation of this business in an setting would be consistent with mixture of uses in the industrial City and would be consistent with practices. 0 appropriate the goals for portion of the good zoning H. Accordingly, the conditional use permit and the precise plan of design would not adversely affect the public peace, health, safety or general welfare and that the public necessity, convenience, welfare and good zoning practice justifies the issuance of the conditional use permit and the precise plan of design. I. This project has been found to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as a Class 1(a) categorical exemption pursuant to the City of Azusa CEQA Implementing Procedures and the State CEQA Guidelines.
