of notice of said Hearing published in the Azusa Herald on September 21, 2000.
Assistant Community Development Director Onaga addressed the issue stating that this
is an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to approve a conditional use permit
for the sale of beer and wine at La Pradera Market, which was based on the fact that the
store is a neighborhood oriented grocery store and that beer and wine sales were an
added convenience to its regular customers. Another consideration by Planning was the
fact that the Police Department reviews the application, and was not opposed to the
addition of beer and wine sales at the market. They placed a condition of approval on
the Conditional Use Permit restricting the amount of display area for beer and wine to
no more than 5 % of the store area so it would not become a liquor oriented store. The
Planning Commission's approval has been appealed by Joseph Zhou, representing a
liquor store next to the market; reasons for appeal are as follows: 1) insufficient
notification to individual residents; Mr. Zhou did not receive a notice because he is not
the owner of the property within 300 feet, 2) public notification (window posting) was
not visible to the public; it was posted on a door window, that was left open, but was
corrected immediately, 3) undue concentration levels of alcohol sales outlets in the area;
the Azusa Municipal Code states that they consider the nature and use of real property
within 500 feet of the business, within that area there are only two on sale licenses and
two off sale licenses, 4) inadequate parking; no parking impacts have been noted and
since off-site consumption will not require expansion of the existing facilities, additional
spaced are not necessary, 5) competition is not an issue that the Planning Commission
considers. He stated that based on the Planning Commission's findings and the lack of
any new evidence, staff is recommending denial of the appeal.

comments
Mr. Joseph Zhou, the appellant, addressed the issue stating that crimes exceed 20 % of J. Zhou
ABC standards, and that there are 29 alcohol beverage businesses in the area. He comments
submitted a list of names signed by residents in the area against the sale of beer and wine
at La Pradera, and letter of protest from the managers of the local motel. He urged
Council to deny the sale of beer and wine in the area that would create an over
concentration in the area.
Mr. Art Rodriguez, representing La Pradera Market, addressed the issue requested that A. Rodriguez
the market be allowed to keep their beer and wine license as they will sell beer and wine rep. La Pradera
along with meat and groceries. He advised that the former owners sold beer and wine Mkt.
and had their license, but, it was discontinued in 1998, because they did not renew it.
He stated that ABC has never shown any problems associated with beer and wine. He
stated that the appellant has the only license in the tract, beside the one for La Pradera
Market. He stated that the license that they have is not a new one but one that is
transferred from another business in Azusa, so there will be no increase in licenses.
He advised of the hours of operation, the 19 conditions of approval, the public notice that
was re -posted, property owners were notified, he stated that the parking is adequate and
explained his theory of competition. He requested that the Conditional Use Permit be
approved and answered questions posed by Council.
