metal yards from auto wrecking yards in their definitions,

The City Attorney informed Council that both scrap metal
and auto wrecking were no longer a permitted use in an
M-2 zone since 1966. Mr. Beck had been operating on a
non -conforming use granted by his Conditional Use Permit.
The Conditional Use Permit had a termination date in
1971. In 1970, the State legislature passed a statute
making it unlawful for a City to grant a "use" Variance
for a piece of property within a zone which did not allow
that use. He noted that neither the Planning Commission
nor Council has any authority whatsoever to grant Mr. Beck
any kind of Variance or Conditional Use Permit, at this
point, which would allow this business to continue in an
M-2 zone. The only alternative would be to amend the
zoning uses by law, to include these types of businesses
which had expressly been forbidden since 1966.
The Mayor informed Mr. Beck that there was nothing that
Council could do on his behalf.

with regard to Mr. Pirro's request.
Alex A. Pirro, 245 S. Noble Avenue, addressed Council
and set forth two proposals. The first was a request
that the City of Azusa obtain some Federal Grants to
hire young people, between the ages of 16 and 20, to
plant trees, clean up trash, and put out trash cans in
the Canyon area. He also felt that the Feather River
water should be allowed to run continuously into the
iver to insure water in the River for recreational
urposes. The second item was with regard to the
luncheon program at Azusa High School. He felt that
better meals should be provided for the High School age
young people, similar to the meals provided in the
elementary schools.
The Mayor explained to Mr. Pirro that both items were
beyond the jurisdiction of the Council. He noted that
the Canyon is outside the City limits and is under the
jurisdiction of the County and the Government Department
of Forestry. He also noted that school matters are under
the jurisdiction of the Azusa Unified School District
Board. He expressed the individual con(erns of each
Councilman but recommended that Mr. Pirro approach these other
bodies for the type of response he wishes.
A request was received from the City's Environmental
Pollution Control Committee for the Park & Recreation
Commission and the Capital Improvement Committee to re-
study the use of the Angling Club property for park
purposes, with a petition containing 840 signatures.
The Director of Public Works addressed Council and
explained that the acquisition of this property would
e impossible without a bond issue to cover purchase
nd development costs. Upkeep would be also a great
xpense to the City.
Nick Zichichi, 525 N. Azusa Avenue, a member of the
Committee, informed Council that this matter was
intended to be on the 6/19/72 agenda, to allow time for
the young people making the petition to research the
matters involved for presentation to Council. He urged
that the matter be either continued or in some manner
reset for the meeting of 6/19/72, 1n fairness to the
young people involved.
