at 7:30 p.m.
The hour of 7:30 p.m. being the time set for the
public hearing on amendment to Section 92'0.70(8)d(1)
of the Municipal Code re: area for enterprise ident-
ification signs in C-3 zone, recommended by Planning
Commission Resolution No. 864 (Planning Commission
initiated), the Mayor declared the hearing open.
The City Clerk presented the Affidavit of Proof of
Publication of Notice of this Hearing in the Azusa
Herald & Pomotropic on August 5, 1970.
A memo was received from the Planning Commission,
which stated that the above-mentioned Section of the
Municipal Code presently reads as follows:
"the total area of enterprise identification signs
displayed shall not be larger than one square foot
per 50 square feet of building floor area or one square
foot of lot area, whichever is greater, with,a maximum
sign area of 500 square feet."
Pub.Hrg.on
amend. to
Sec.9230.70
of M.C. re:
area for
enterprise
identif.signs
in C-3 zone
The Planning Commission recommended that this Section be
reworded to read "...or one hundred square feet of lot area...".
Thus, a person with a lot containing 50,000 square feet of
lot area, in a C-3 zone, woul& qualify for the maximum
sign area of 500 square feet. 'At the same time, a person
with a commercial building, in a C-3 zone, containing
25,000 square feet for off-street parking, would also
qualify for the maximum sign area of 500 square feet.
In analyzing the above, the ratio of 2:1 would seem reason-
able. It was noted that the Chamber of Commerce is in
agreement with this recommended amendment.
No other communication having been received and no one
in the audience wishing to speak regarding this hearing,
it was
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried to close the hearing.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried to direct the City Attorney to
prepare the necessary Ordinance amending the Municipal
Code, as recommended.
Mr. Anthony M. Ortuno, 346 No. Azusa Avenue, addressed
Council regarding the refusal of the City Clerk to renew
his business license for an automobile repair garage at
231 No. Azusa Avenue.
A memo had been submitted from the Associate Planning
Director, explaining that Mr. Ortuno had lost his non-
conforming use rights, which prevented the City Clerk
from issuing a business license, according to Section
l6150 of the Municipal Code. Also attached to the memo
was a history of the light, power, and water consumption
at the subject property, showing virtually no light and
power consumption since July of 1966, and nominal
water consumption since that date.
Mr. Ortuno stated that he had operated the business
on a part-time basis due to lack of help, and since
1968, when he suffered a stroke, had not been able to
do business at that location at all. He had maintained
his business license and utilities at that location,
with the intention of some day reopening the business.

(referred to

Mr. Ortuno)
AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1970 Page 3
In May of this year, he was approached by Mr. Randolph
Popperwell who wished to either work for him or to
lease the garage from him. Mr. Popperwell applied for
a business license and was turned down. When Mr. Ortuno
subsequently applied for a business license renewal,
he, too, was refused, even though his business license
was in effect up to 6/30/70.
The City Clerk stated that, under Section 6150 of the
Azusa Municipal Code, he could not issue a business
license for this address when he had been informed by
the Planning Department that the non -conforming use
rights for the garage had lapsed. He further stated that
under the same section of the Municipal Code, even though
a business license had been issued in the past, for the
same reasons it could be contended that the license was
not valid.
The City Attorney felt this matter should be placed
before the Planning Commission for a decision as to
whether or not the non -conforming use rights had, in
fact, lapsed, and it is incumbent upon Mr. Ortuno to
submit proof that a business of this nature was indeed
operated continuously with no six months break. The
mere fact that a business license was issued does not
constitute proof that the land use was maintained.
After discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried to refer this matter to the
Planning Commission for a decision based upon evidence to
be submitted by Mr. Ortuno.
A recommended change of Council policy whereby, in
areas around schools with a high incident of school
children pedestrian traffic where there is no side-
walk, the City would install and charge adjacent
property owners only for the cost of materials, the
cost of labor to be assumed by the City, was again
presented to Council, having been tabled from the
8/3/70 meeting for submission of a map showing the
proposed sidewalks.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman
Clark and unanimously carried to lift from the table.
The Acting City Engineer submitted a map, with a report
stating the results of a study by the Engineering'
Department and the Police Deppartment. According to the
report, the construction of 42' wide sidewalks can be
financed to three basic methods. Also the sidewalks
would be constructed either adjacent to the curb or
adjacent to the property line, depending upon the
location of existing street trees: on streets found
to be deficient on both sides, a sidewalk was con-
sidered only on one side.
The deficient streets
as indicated
in
the study are
broken down into three
main groups
as
follows:
1) Residential Streets (property owner required to pay
cost of materials, at $35 for lot having a frontage
of 50', and City's cost estimated at $50):
a) North side of Mauna Loa Ave. from Citrus Ave.
to west line of Powell School.
b) West side of Calera Ave. from Hollyvale St.
to Alosta Ave.
c) North side of 11th St. from Orange Ave. to
east line of Northside Park.
d) West side of Fairvale Ave. from Gaillard St.
to Nearfield St., and from Ghent St. to
Gladstone St.

f) South side of Haltern St. from Twintree Ave.
to Rockvale Ave.
g) West side of Pasadena Ave. from the Railroad
to 110 feet southerly, and from 8th St. to
100 feet northerly.
2) Select S stem Streets (costs to be borne by City's gas
tax fund):
a) East side of Cerritos Ave. from Newburgh St.
to Woodcroft St.
b) East side of Lark Ellen Ave. from 750 feet
south of First St. to First St.
3) Adjacent to Schools (School District to pay the material
costes wit city oing the construction on streets border-
ing property owned by the School District):
a) West side of Calera Ave. from Mauna Loa Ave.
to Hollyvale St.
b) West side of Rockvale Ave. from north line
of Azusa High School to First St.

It was recommended by the Acting City Engineer that Council
authorize the Public Works Department to contact the property
owners involved and the school district, and propose to them
the construction of the sidewalks on the basis of the City's
participation as described in the report, and authorize the
Public Works Department to schedule the construction work when
sufficient funds to cover the cost of material have been deposit-
ed with the City by the property owners.
Mrs. Betty Maynard, 939 E. Mauna Loa, appeared before Council
to ask how she could be sure that the cost stated would
be the actual cost and that there would no be additional
charges at a later date.
Mrs. Marlene Ansorge, 903 E. Mauna Loa, appeared before
Council and asked how the $35 per lot was determined.
She further requested that a traffic counter be placed on
Mauna Loa at Citrus, and claimed that there are no signs
indicating that this is a school zone. She also asked
that the speed limit on Mauna Loa be enforced and the
speed limit on Citrus be reduced from 40 miles per hour.
After discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Clark
and unanimously carried to authorize the Public Works
