WHEREAS, on November 21, 1988, an application was filed by Juan Antonio Bigon to convert an existing automobile service station into a garage by removing the underground fuel storage tanks and the service pumps, Planning Department Case No. V 88-002, on property commonly known as 66 East Foothill Boulevard, more particularly described as follows: South 53.1 feet of the north 78.1 feet of Lot 1 of C.B. Clapp's Subdivision, in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, as per Map recorded in Book 31, Page 30 of Miscellaneous Records in the Office of the County Recorder of said County, except the east 10 feet of said lot. . WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on December 13, 1988, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. That the factual data submitted by the Planning Department in the attached report is trlie and correct. Section 2. This Commission finds: 1. That there are exceptional ar extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property, that do not apply generally to the property or class of use in the same zone or vicinity, because compliance with the State requirements would make the retention of the current gas station use economically unfeasible and to cease all service station/ garage uses would deprive the property owner/operator of his lively hood. 2. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity in which the property is located, because the repair use will remain essentially the same as presently exists. o 1399 1 . . 3. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of . a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by the other property in the same zone and vidnity, because there are service stations in the area which are engaged in similar garage activities, the only difference being that they also provide gasoline service. 4.

ARCADIA CITY PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT CORKRAN W. NICHOLSON, ASSOCIATE PLANNER Zone Variance 88-002 This application was filed by Juan Antonio Bigon to request a zone variance to convert an existing automobile service station into a garage (i.e., only car repair) by removing the underground fuel storage tanks and the service pumps. The proposed garage would be a non-conforming use. The Planning Department is recommending approval subject to the conditions outlined in this report GENERAL INFORMATION . APPLICANT: LOCATION: REQUEST: LOT AREA: FRONTAGE: Juan Antonio Bigon (owner of the site) 66 East Foothill Boulevard A zone variance to convert an existing automobile service station into a garage. 5,137 square feet (0.12 acres) 53.10 feet on First Avenue 96.75 feet on Foothill Boulevard EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The subject site is developed with a service station and is zoned C-2 (General Commerdal). SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: . North: South: East: West: Mixed commercial uses; zoned C-2 Office building; zoned C-2 Retail center; zoned C-2 Office building; zoned C-2 . . o GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: The subject property is designated as commercial HISTORY In 1926 an automobile service station was built on the site. The original service station was removed and replaced with a new automobile service station in 1954. This service station was a legal nonconforming use in that it was constructed prior to the requirement for a conditional use permit. On January 18, 1983, a business license was issued to Juan Bigon and Fidel Tisera for the operation of a gasoline service station including minor auto repair. At this time it was explained to Mr. Bigon and Mr. Tisera that the C-2 zoning of the site did not permit the operation of a garage and that automobile repair was only allowed as an inddental use to the operation of a service station. In November of 1983, staff noted during a field inspection that it appeared that the operators were not selling gasoline. Upon further investigation staff was advised by the County Weights and Measures Division that during a normal site inspection on July 29,1983, they were told by the operators that they were not and would not be selling gasoline. . On November 28,1983, the City Attorney sent a letter to the operators, Mr. Bigon and Mr. Tisera, advising them that they were in violation of the Code and that this problem would have to be remedied by December 5, 1983. On December 8, 1983, an office hearing was held with Mr. Bigon and Mr. Tisera and their attorney. It was again explained to then that an automobile repair garage was not a permitted use in the C-2 zone and that they could request a zone change or text amendment or operate in accordance with the Code. Mr. Bigon and Mr. Tisera indicated they were aware of the problem, however, it was not economically feasible to operate a service station at this location. They noted that their lease expired on January 11, 1984, and that it would not be renewed. On January 17, 1984, Mr. Chris McGuire, the previous property owner of the site, and Mr. Bigon and Mr. Tisera met with staff. Mr. McGuire advised staff that the lease had been renewed; and he asked what had to be done to bring everything into code compliance. Municipal Code Section 9248 notes that if a nonconforming use ceases operation for a period in excess of 90 days that the use is deemed abandoned. Because the service . V 88-002 December 13.. 1988 Page 2 .' . . . station had not been in operation as a service station since at least July 29, 1983, the service station was considered by staff to be nonconforming. Mr. McGuire was informed by staff that to operate legally an application for a conditional use permit to operate an automobile service station would have to be filed and subsequently approved. On February 3,1984, Mr. McGuire filed for Conditional Use Permit 84-3 to operate the service station as a diesel fuel service station with automobile repair. It was Mr. McGuire's opinion that because of the size and age of the existing service station the operators could only be competitive in selling diesel fuel, as well as continuing the operation of their BMW service. It was staff's opinion that if the fadlity was operated as an automobile service station with minor automobile repair, the conditional use permit should be approved. The Planning Commission at its February 28,1984 meeting, voted 7 to 0 to approve Conditional Use Permit 84-3, to operate an automobile service station at 66 East Foothill Boulevard, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the proposed facility be operated as a service station and that automobile fuel be sold at all times. . 2. That all automobile repair work shall be done inside the buildi.ng. 3. That a trash enclosure shall be provided as per Section 9263.6.6., and that a wood or solid metal gate be installed. 4. That, if requested by the City, the applicants show proof of sales of diesel fuel or gasoline on the premises. 5. Cars should not be parked in such a way as to obstruct access to the service station pumps. 6. That the applicant and the property owner shall sign a form indicating awareness and acceptance of all conditions of approval. Mr. Bigon became the new owner of the subject property in 1984. He recently advised staff that his sale of diesel fuel is minimal and that he has maintained the fadlity in order to continue his BMW service. SPECIAL INFORMATION . On August 23,1988, the Arcadia Fire Department issued a Final Notice of Violation V 88-002 December 13, 1988 Page 3 . . . to the applicant for the required removal of the underground gasoline storage tank and the installation of a monitoring system for the remaining diesel fuel tank. The applicant is required by State Law to provide "test wells" on the site in order to monitor any fuel leaks and/or replace the existing fuel storage tanks with new double walled leak proof tanks. Staff was advised by Earl Curtis, Fire Prevention Inspector for the City of Arcadia, that all service stations must comply with the State's fuel storage regulations (i.e., Section 25280 of the State of California Health and Safety Code). Mr. Curtis indicated that it would be likely for small independent service stations to close due to the fees that would be incurred in complying with these regulations. For example in his opinion the upgrading of the subject facility's storage tanks could exceed $100,000. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The applicant is prosing to remove the existing underground fuel storage tanks and the service pumps in order to avoid the financial burden that he would incur in complying with the applicable fuel storage regulations. . Upon the removal of the underground fuel storage tanks and the service pumps the existing on-site parking area will be improved, as illustrated on the proposed site plan (attached). A required 5'-0' wide landscape buffer would be along First Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, which will encompass 3'-0" high wall sections of split faced block and dispersed tree-wells. Also a new 3'-0" high wall of split faced block would be constructed along the site's southerly property line to buffer the parking stalls from the neighboring property. The existing building will remain for the applicant's automobile repair service, and will be enhanced by the addition of a new canvas awning which will extend around the northeast corner of the building. Additional landscaping will be provided by a proposed 0'-39" wide planter curb in front of the parking stalls and by constructing a small planter adjacent to the existing trash enclosure. There are four existing parking spaces with driveway access from First Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. One space would be removed and the driveway approach on First Avenue would be reduced in width in order to improve vehicular circulation and to accommodate the required landscaped buffer. . It is staff's opinion that the applicant's proposal would upgrade the property and enhance the appearance of the building. Approval of this zone variance would not be detrimental to the public health or welfare, nor injurious to the property and improvements in such zone of vicinity. Also approval of this variance would not V 88-002 December 13, 1988 Page 4 . . adversely effect the comprehensive General Plan since the automobile repair service . is essentially already existing. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historical or aesthetic significance. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends approval of V 88-002 subject to the following conditions: 1. That the site improvements shall be in compliance with the plans on file in the subject case. 2. Conditions as outlined in the attached report from the Department of Public Works shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. . 3. The underground fuel tanks and the service pumps shall be removed in accordance with all applicable regulations and to the sa tisfaction of the Fire Chief. 4. Fire safety shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Fire Department. 5. That a landscaped plan and irrigation plan shall be submitted to the Planning Department for its review and approval. 6. That all work on vehicles shall be done inside the building. 7. All of the employee vehicles and the vehicles to be serviced by the facility shall be parked on the premises. 8. That the parking lot shall be striped in accordance with the Municipal Code Section 9269.8. 9. That Variance 88-002 shall not take effect until the owner and . V 88-002 December 13, 1988 . Page 5 .' . . . applicant have executed a form available at the Planning Department indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. REOUIRED FINDINGS AND MOTIONS The Planning Commission should examine the information and make findings relevant to the prerequisite conditions as stated in Section 9291.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code, which reads as follows: A. That there are exceptional ar extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property, that do not apply generally to the property or class of use in the same zone or vicinity, because compliance with the State requirements would make the retention of the current gas station use economically unfeasible and to cease all service station I garage uses would deprive the property owner I operator of his lively hood. . B. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity in which the property is located, because the repair use will remain essentially the same as presently exists. C. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by the other property in the same zone and vicinity, because there are service stations in the area which are engaged in similar garage activities, the only difference being that they also provide gasoline service. D. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan, because the existing use will not be significantly different from the existing service station use. Approval If the Planning Commission intends to take action to approve this project:, the Commission should move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution incorporating the specific findings and conditions of approval set forth in the staff report (or as modified by the Commission). . V 88-002 December 13, 1988 Page 6 .' . . o Denial If the Planning Commission intends to take action to deny this project, the Commission should move to deny and direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution incorporating the Commission's decision and findings in support of that decision. . .
