Background
On September 20, 1995 the City Council held a public hearing
regarding the ordinance amendment and discussed an alternative to
the Planning Commission recommended zoning ordinance amendment.
The alternative would allow automobile service stations in the
industrial zones throughout the City with a Planning Commission
approved Conditional Use Permit, only if the subject property has
frontage on an arterial street as defined in the General Plan. The
Council felt that this alternative has merit in that automobile
service stations require a significant amount of traffic in order
to be economically feasible. As the Planning Commission did not
consider this alternative at their meeting on June 26, 1995, this
matter was remanded to the Planning Commission for discussion on
September 25, 1995 pursuant to Government Code Section 65857.
Discussion
The Planning Commission agreed with the City Council proposal to
allow automobile service stations with frontage on arterial
streets. The Planning Commission indicated that currently, there
are three streets within the City with industrial properties
fronting on arterial streets, Los Angeles Avenue, New Los Angeles
Avenue and Spring Road. Therefore, for the purpose of clarity, the
Planning Commission listed the streets in question.
The Commission recommends that automobile service stations be
allowed in the M -1 and M -2 Industrial zones with a Planning
Commission approved Conditional Use Permit, only if the subject
property has frontage on Los Angeles Avenue, New Los Angeles
Avenue, or Spring Road.
