SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 20-06
PROJECT ADDRESS: 8 E. Foothill Blvd.
Dear Mr. Quan:
At its October 27, 2020 meeting, the Planning Commission voted 4-0,
with one commissioner absent to approve Conditional Use Permit No.
CUP 20-06 at 8 E. Foothill Blvd., subject to the conditions listed in the
enclosed Resolution No. 2065, which was adopted at the October 27,
2020 Planning Commission meeting.
There is a ten (10) day appeal period for this application. To file an
appeal, a completed Appeal Application form must be submitted to the
Community Development Division along with a $600.00 appeal fee by
5:30 p.m. on Monday, November 9, 2020. You will be notified if an
appeal is filed.
This approval shall expire in one year (November 10, 2021) from the
effective date unless plans are submitted to Building Services for plan-
check, a building permit is issued and the construction is diligently
pursued, a certificate of occupancy has been issued, or the approval is
renewed. The final plans must be consistent with the approved design
concept plans and any conditions of approval. Any inconsistency from
the approved design concept plans may preclude the issuance of a
building permit.
An extension may be granted by the Development Services Director or
designee, or the Review Authority that approved the project for a
maximum period of one (1) year from the initial expiration date. An
extension can only be granted if the required findings can be made.
Please note that acceptance of an extension request does not indicate
approval of an extension.
A building permit must be obtained prior to any construction activity.
Please contact Building Services at (626) 574-5416 to determine the
type of documentation, plans, and fees for the appropriate permit. This
approval letter must be presented to Building Services to initiate the
permitting process.
Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 20-06 shall not go into effect unless the
property owner and applicant have executed and filed the enclosed Acceptance Form
to indicate awareness and acceptance of these conditions of approval. The
Acceptance form is due now and if it is not received by November 30, 2020, or if the
project is appealed, this approval will become null and void.
