on the appeal from granting of a Variance by Planning Commis-

(Case V-306 - Leo Nasser), the Mayor declared the hearing
open.

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

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

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

and City Attorney for a report at the August 7, 1972
