AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, JULY 17, 1972 The hour of 7:30 p.m. being the time set for a public hearing on the appeal from granting of a Variance by Planning Commis- sion Resolution 981, to permit the waiver of off-street park- ing requirement, on property located at 708 N. Azusa Ave., (Case V-306 - Leo Nasser), the Mayor declared the hearing open. The City Clerk presented the affidavit of proof of publi- cation of the Notice of this hearing in the Azusa Herald & Pomotropic on July 6, 1972, and the affidavit of posting of said Notice on 7/7/72. Page 2 Pub.Hrg.on appeal frm. grtg. Var. (Case V-306 - Leo Nasser) Associate Planning Director Fitzsimmons addressed Council and summarized the report from the Planning Department. He noted that the present structure is having to be demolished, and that the waiver is for the new two story office build- ing that will be built on that location. He pointed out the configuration of the land whereby there would be no space for access, or parking, from the alley. Depending on the type of structure built, the normal parking requirement would be either nine or ten spaces. The most parking that could be provided would be two spaces in front of the build- ing, were the first story to be recessed back from the Azusa Avenue property line. This would be unadvisable because it would require a driveway access off of Azusa Avenue where there could be no turn -around area and the cars parked would have to back out onto Azusa Avenue for an exit. He noted that the Variance was good only until such time as a parking district, or sufficient parking, within the proper distance, was available for use. 'Leo C. Nasser, 706 N. Azusa Avenue, owner of the property appeared before Council. He explained that the subject location was bound on three sides by buildings, and the fourth side by Azusa Avenue. He noted that he was going to be building a new structure and that there would be no way to provide parking for it. The alternative would be to leave the land vacant, once the building was demolished upon orders of the City. Austin J. Abdelnour, 240 W. Foothill Blvd., Azusa, addressed Council in opposition to the Variance. He noted that the City had just adopted the CBD Zone, with the intention of upgrading the downtown area. This was the first Variance requested since that zone was adopted. As parking is a major interest in such a zone he felt that the waiver of require- ments was not fair. He asked Council if it was prepared to - offer the same for the other properties in the downtown areas that are isolated. He felt that Mr. Nasser should be required to post a bond that would insure that he would become part of a parking district if and when developed. It was explained to Mr. Abdelnour that the CBD Zone has not been applied to any property. He responded that CBD or not, there is a parking requirement and in the best interest of maintaining some sort of direction for the upgrading of downtown,Mr. Nasser should either provide parking or at least pust a bond. No one else wishing to speak regarding this matter, and no further communications having been received, it was Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio and unanimously carried to close the hearing. During the discussion Councilman Rubio indicated his con- cern about starting a trend. The other members of the Council generally felt that the City should help where it can when a person in the downtown area is trying to upgrade by building a new structure. The configuration (appeal denied) 1 1 1 AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, JULY 173 1972 of the property was noted and the hardship of requiring the parking area was felt to be justification for a Variance. Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Clark that the appeal be denied and the action of the Planning Commission in granting the Variance be upheld, and the City Attorney prepare the necessary Resolution. The motion was passed by the following vote of Council: AYES: Councilmen: Decker, Clark, Solem NOES: Councilmen: Rubio ABSENT: Councilmen: Snyder The hour of 7:30 p.m. being the time set for a public hearing on a substandard structure Case #72-8 (swimming pool - Carl P.

Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Decker and unanimously carried to raise this matter from the table. Myrl Kavanaugh, 140 W. Valley Blvd., San Gabriel, repre- senting the owner, appeared before Council and explained that upon further investigation it would take a major overhauling of the building in the neighborhood of $60,000 to make it comply with present Codes. He re- quested that the Council permit the removal of the marquee and vertical sign and that the theatre itself be left vacant. The building would be painted but he requested permission to allow the other businesses in the same structure to continue. If this is not acceptable, the only other alternative is demolition of the structure. After further discussion, it was Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Clark and unanimously carried to refer the request to the Building Inspector, Director of Public Works, Fire Chief, and City Attorney for a report at the August 7, 1972 meeting, and that the decision on the Public Hearing, which was closed March 20, 1972, be continued to that meeting.
