The Mayor, on behalf of the Council and the people of Azusa, Madison
presented a plaque and a certified copy of Resolution
No. 5510 to Mr. Madison, wishing him the best for his re-

The hour of 7:30 p.m. being the time set for a Public Hearing Pub.Hrg.on
on an appeal from denial of a Variance to permit a lot size appeal from
of 20,160 sq. ft in lieu of 21,000 sq. ft. minimum lot re- denial of Var
quirement in the Freeway Service Zone, on property at 137 E. (Case V -221 -
First Street (Planning Commission Resolution No. 766 - Case R.H.Hohman
V -22i - R. G. Hohman Enterprises, Inc.), the Mayor declared Enterprises)
the hearing open.
Granted Var.
The City Clerk presented the Affidavit of Proof of Publi-
cation of Notice of Public Hearing, published 1/5/69 in the
Azusa Herald & Pomotropic, and stated that no communications
were received except the memo from the Planning Director, in
which he stated that the Planning Commission denied this
request for a Variance because it was felt no hardship existed;
the acquisition of a portion of the property by the State
took place prior to the applicant's owning the site; further,
that it has been the practice of the Planning Commission to
require a minimum site size of 150' x 140' for all new
service stations and, since the property is located in the
new Freeway Service Zone, the Commission felt it was even
more important that the minimum size of 21,000 sq. ft. be ad-
hered to.
A request that all testimony be given under oath was made by
a representative of Mr. Joseph Hernandez. The Mayor declared
that it was not necessary for testimony to be given under
oath, and no objection to not granting the request was raised
by the Council.
Mr. R. G. Hohman, 1701 Miracosta Street, Eastview, appeared
before Council in favor of the granting of his appeal from
the Planning Commission's denial of a requested Variance.
Mr. Hohman requested Council's consideration that he had met
all of the requirements of the Planning Director and City
Building Department, stating that other aspects of the project
had been before the Council several times previously, and
suggested that if there were further questions he would try
to answer them.
Mr. Joseph A. Hernandez, real estate broker at 300 E. Foot-
hill Blvd., appeared before Council to protest the appeal from
the ruling of the Planning Commission,giving the following
reasons:
1. Hohman Enterprises consistently refused to conform
to Planning Commission development standards.
2. Other companies have voluntarily complied with the
minimum of 21,000 sq. ft.
3. An Ordinance now exists, requiring a minimum of
212000 sq. ft.
4. Immediately, Mr. Hohman has requested Council to
disregard the Ordinance.
5. The Variance was denied by the Planning Commission
by unanimous vote.
AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1969 Page 3
6. The denial of th'e Variance will not create a hardship
on•R. G. Hohman Enterprises because, at the time they
purchased the property, the State of California had
already given notice to condemn a portion of the prop-
erty.
' 7. Judging from the record, they were aware of the 6'
strip being condemned by the State.
8. They were also aware of the conditions required of
other oil companies prior to the passing of the Ordinance.
The City Attorney advised the Council of the various reasons
for the granting of a Variance as set forth in the Municipal
Code under Sec. 9231.26 (a).
Mr. Hohman stated that they had not been aware of the Ordinance
requiring the 21,000 sq'. ft. when they began the purchase of
the property, as the Ordinance was not adopted until November,
1968. Their intention :•was to acquire three lots which, at
that time, conformed. While the property was being acquired,
the State did condemn 61' on the southerly portion of the
land. He felt that it;iaould be a hardship to purchase an
additional lot to gain back the 61. They will be landscaping
three times more than required as it is now.
The Richfield station was required to acquire more property
because they were considerably short initially, some 7,000
sq. ft.
Mr. Hernandez rebutted with the statement that the Planning
'Commission had adopted a set of laws in July of 1968, setting
forth the minimum standards for a filling station. Mr. Hohman
and his representatives were present at these hearings. Also,
6
Mr. Hohman owned other property in the area which had ' ft.
condemned by the State.
There being no further written communications received and
no one else in the audience wishing to be heard, it was
Moved by Councilman Rubio, seconded by Councilman Calvert
and unanimously carried that the hearing be closed.
The Council discussed the question of hardship. Following
the discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Calvert, seconded by Councilman Decker
