The City Council hereby certifies said Negative Declaration. SECTION 2: That in accordance with Section 88-585 of the Azusa Municipal Code, it is found that the project would not unreasonably interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in the vicinity, and would not adversely affect the public peace, health, safety or general welfare, and provided the conditions of approval are adhered to, the City Council hereby approves said Conditional Use Permit based on the following findings: A. THAT THE PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN. The proposal does not conflict with the General Plan in that it consists of an additional service with a proposed banquet hall in a commercial zone. The General Plan does not distinguish among items sold within a commercial business. Furthermore, the General Plan is not specific to the issues of regulating alcohol uses but refers to the City's zoning ordinance for control measures. B. THAT THE NATURE, CONDITION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADJACENT USES, BUILDINGS, AND STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED, AND THE USE WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT OR BE MATERIALLY DETRIMENTAL TO THESE ADJACENT USES, BUILDINGS, OR STRUCTURES. Page 1 of 4 0 0 Resolution No. ni-r-r27 C-2001-08 The uses directly adjacent to the subjectproperty are institutional to the north (Azusa Pacific University West Campus), multiple family residential to the south, a single-family dwelling to the east, and a motel (All 8 motel) and a duplex unit to the west. The proposal will exceed the ratio of on-site licenses to population in the census tract in which the banquet hall will be located. However, beer and wine will only be offered with meals and will be a minor portion of the banquet hall's anticipated sales. It is furthermore found that the inclusion of beer and wine will represent a public convenience for the patrons of this business. C. THAT THE SITE IS OF ADEQUATE SIZE AND SHAPE TO ACCOMMODATE THE USE, BUILDINGS, YARDS, FENCES AND WALLS, PARKING, LANDSCAPING, AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT FEATURES PROPOSED. A Development Review Board meeting was held to receive comments from City departments/divisions. Standard conditions and requirements were given by the various departments.
