cultivation of marijuana so that property owners and residents would be notified by
a public hearing notice that a public hearing would be held, giving them an
opportunity to speak on the matter.
There was a discussion by the Commission regarding various uses in the M-1 zone,
the sizes of the parcels of land in the area and increasing the notification radius for
property owners, residents and occupants. The Commission also considered
separation standards for sensitive uses.

MARIJUANA CULTIVATION
I. DESCRIPTION
On April 17, 2018, the City Council initiated Code Amendment No. 18-01 providing
direction to staff to process a Code Amendment for the commercial cultivation of marijuana
in the manufacturing zone.
Based on City Council direction, notification was provided through the enotification
system on the City website. The notice was emailed to 93 email addresses. Interested
parties can still sign up for enotification regarding Code Amendment No. 18-01.
Based on Commission direction, courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within
the manufacturing zone informing them of the study session for commercial cultivation of
marijuana. Notification will be completed only for Planning Commission study sessions
and or hearings.
II. BACKGROUND
The following is a history of review of commercial cultivation of the marijuana and
marijuana dispensary topic by the Planning Commission and City Council.
In response to Proposition 64, the Planning Commission held several study sessions in late
2016. Shortly thereafter Proposition 64 was approved by the electorate. The Planning
Commission held a study session on January 24, 2017 and directed staff to prepare a code
amendment to allow personal grow and continue to prohibit commercial cultivation of
marijuana and marijuana dispensaries.
On March 28, 2017, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a Code
Amendment to allow personal grow and continue to prohibit commercial cultivation of
marijuana and marijuana dispensaries.

Marijuana Regulations
August 28, 2018- Page 2
During the summer of 2017, the City Council held several public hearings to consider
Code Amendment No. 16-04 to allow for commercial cultivation of marijuana. The City
Council ultimately determined to make no changes to the Municipal Code and continue to
prohibit the commercial cultivation of marijuana as well as marijuana dispensaries.
On April 17, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-27 initiating Code
Amendment 18-01 to consider standards for commercial marijuana cultivation in the
manufacturing zone.
The Planning Commission held a study session on July 24, 2018 to discuss alternatives and
recommendations on standards to be included in the Zoning section of the Municipal Code.
The Planning Commission discussed and provided direction to staff on the following code
standards.
1. Approval process. The draft code will require the approval of a conditional use
permit for commercial marijuana cultivation in the M-1 (Manufacturing) Zone. The
Planning Commission directed that staff utilize that standard and directed staff to
prepare radius notifications options of 500 feet, 750 feet, 1,000 feet, and 1,500 feet.
2. Location (Zoning). The draft code will allow commercial marijuana cultivation in
the M-1 (Manufacturing) Zone with a conditional use permit.
3. Measurement of Distance for Separation Standards. The draft code will require
the measurement of distance to be measured from property line of sensitive use to
the primary building to be used for Marijuana Cultivation.
4. Separation Standards:
Residential. The draft code will require a separation requirement of 300 feet.
Religious Facility. The Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a
visual map indicating a separation of 100 feet to an existing church located
within the Prosperity Business Park.
Educational. The draft code will require a separation requirement of 300 feet.
5. Separation Standards to any other Marijuana Cultivation Use. The draft code
will not establish a separation requirement between marijuana cultivation uses.

SUBJECT: STUDY SESSION
CODE AMENDMENT NO. 18-02 Accessory Dwelling Unit Revisions
I. DESCRIPTION
On June 5, 2018, the City Council held a public hearing to consider Code Amendment No.
17-03 to consider revisions to standards for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). (See
Attachment No. 2) At that meeting, the City Council approved the proposed code
amendment but requested that a new code amendment be initiated to consider the ADU
development standards for minimum lot size and for rear yard setbacks. On June 19, 2018,
the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-86 initiating Code Amendment No. 18-02,
II. BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted Code Amendment No. 17-01 on April 18, 2017 and Code
Amendment No. 17-03 on June 5, 2018. The State of California passed two bills in 2017
regarding accessory dwelling units including Senate Bill 229 (Wieckowski)
and Assembly Bill 494 (Bloom). These bills, effective January 1, 2018, clarify and
modify various provisions of the law to promote the development of ADUs. The
previous two code amendments were completed to address the various bills passed over
the last two years and were reviewed by the City Attorney's office. Staff is aware that
additional bills may pass this calendar year that the City may need to address.
Code Amendment 17-03 amended the Municipal Code in the following manner.
1. Minimum Lot Size. Changed from 12,000 to 46,000 square foot lots (depending
on Area District) to 12,000 square feet.
2. Required parking based on number of bedrooms. Require zero or one space in
compliance with state law.
3. Required parking for attached ADUs. When a new house is constructed that
includes an ADU no parking would be required for the ADU, in compliance with
state law.
4. Conditions of Approval. Require the same conditions of approval to apply to all
types of ADU's including conversions of existing legal buildings.
5. Accessory Buildings. Remove ADUs from the list for administrative use permit
(AUP) when accessory buildings are greater than 1,000 square feet. ADU's

would be exempt from the 1,000-square foot accessory building calculation as
they cannot require a discretionary review per state law.
6. Detached Structure Conversions. Require a covenant to be filed stating that the
proposed structure will not be converted to an ADU for new accessory structures
with four walls.
7. Windows on Side Property Lines. Require the 10—foot window distance for
detached units for windows only.
8. Terminology modifications. The term "guest house" changed to accessory
habitable quarters, and the term "second unit" changed to "accessory dwelling
unit".
9. Separation Requirement. Require a separation of 6-feet between the accessory
dwelling unit and the primary unit.
The existing standards (per Code Amendment No. 17-03) are provided in Attachment No.
1.
ANALYSIS
The proposed code amendment was initiated to address two development standards,
including minimum lot size and rear yard setbacks. The following is a discussion of each
issue.
Minimum Lot Size
Code Amendment No. 17-03 revised the City standard for minimum lot size reducing the
minimum lot size from a sliding scale of 12,000 to 46,000 square feet (depending on the
Area District) to 12,000 square feet throughout the City. Utilizing GIS software, staff
was able to estimate the number of residential properties in the City and categorize them
by lot size. Based on that estimate, the chart below provides the estimated percentage of
lots in the City at 1,000 square foot intervals.
Lot Size Percentage of Lots
Greater than 7,000 sf 79%
Greater than 8,000 sf 67%
Greater than 9,000 sf 43%
Greater than 10,000 sf 32%
Greater than 11,000 sf 27%
Greater than 12,000 sf 25%
This chart provides information on the percentage of lots in lot size categories from 7,000
to 12,000 square feet. It should be noted, that a large portion of the lots in Woodside
Village are less than 7,000 square feet. Code Amendment No. 17-03 established the
minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet, so that it is estimated that 21% of the residential
properties are eligible to construct an ADU. Staff did not research smaller lots sizes than
7,000 square feet as there are so few lots that are smaller than 6,000 square feet. Options

Code Amendment 18-02
Accessory Dwelling Unit Revisions
August 28, 2018 - Page 3
available for recommendation include any of the lot sizes above or recommending that no
minimum lot size be established.
Rear Yard Setback
The current development standards in the R-1 Zone require a rear yard setback of 25 feet,
except in Area District 1A, where a 15-foot rear setback is required. Additionally, the
Code allows for an encroachment into the rear yard of 40 percent, no greater than 15 feet
in height and no closer than 5 feet from the rear property line. Structures such as single-
family houses, additions, and most accessory buildings (garages, workshops, sheds, etc)
can be constructed to comply with these standards.
Historically, second units have required a 25-foot rear setback. In addition, accessory
habitable quarters (formerly guest houses) are also required to comply with the 25-foot
rear setback. The intent of this standard is to reduce privacy impacts to the neighboring
properties that are adjacent to the rear yard. Most of the types of improvements allowed
to encroach in the rear setback are non-habitable buildings, which generally do not have
the same loss of privacy issues on an adjacent property. The current standards for
accessory dwelling units require a 25-foot setback.
In summary, most types of improvements in the R-1 allow a one-story structure to be
constructed as close as 5-foot from the rear property line. Only the accessory habitable
quarters, accessory dwelling units and second-stories require a 25 feet rear setback to the
property line. This code amendment is being processed for accessory dwelling units.
Options include recommending no changes to the rear setback or changing the ADU
setback to the 5-foot rear setback as is required for other improvements.
Clarify Location Standards
The current standards combine the allowed location standards for ADUs in the Rear Yard
section of the Code. The location standards require that detached ADUs be located
behind the back of the residence, while attached ADUs can be located anywhere in the
structure. To clarify, staff is recommending separating the rear yard standards and the
location standards. In addition, staff is recommending including language that the door to
the ADU not be located on the front elevation unless there is no other alternative due to
topography.
IV. CONCLUSION
The City Council discussed reducing the minimum lot size at the hearing, however, since
there had been no evaluation of a range of minimum lot sizes, a new code amendment
was initiate. The Council had expressed some concerns about the minimum lot size of
12,000 square feet and how many residents in the City would be allowed to construct an
ADU, as well as the required setback being a different standard than most other types of
improvements.

The purpose of the study session is to provide the Planning Commission with discussion
points. After discussion on the issues, the Commission may ask for additional information
to be provided which may necessitate another study session. Once the Planning
Commission agrees on the standards to be implemented, the next step will be to schedule a
public hearing before the Planning Commission. Subsequent to Planning Commission
review, a public hearing will be scheduled for the City Council to determine if changes to
the code are appropriate.
V. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the information in the staff
report and attachments and provide appropriate direction to staff regarding standards to
be included in the code amendment.

INITIATION OF CODE AMENDMENT NO. 18-04
GENERAL EXEMPTION
APPLICANT: City of West Covina
LOCATION: Citywide
DESCRIPTION OF APPLICATION
On June 28, 2018, the Planning Department received a correspondence from Mohsen
Karimi from the Chevron Extra Mile Service Station at 246 N. Citrus Avenue requesting
that a code amendment be initiated to consider amending the Municipal Code to allow
alcohol sales as an accessory use to a service station.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
Currently, the Code prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages at service stations. The
proposed code amendment would consider amending the Municipal Code to allow the sale
of alcohol at service stations. The Planning Commission has considered this issue several
times over the last few years. In 2008, Code Amendment No. 08-02 was initiated by the
City Council to consider amending the code to allow alcohol sales at service stations. That
consideration was subsequently abandoned. In 2010, the Planning Commission initiated
Code Amendment No. 10-03 to consider the concept. The Code Amendment was later
rescinded by the Commission. In June of 2016, the Planning Commission considered a
request to initiate a code amendment
At the time that Code Amendment No. 10-03 was under consideration, potential standards
were provided and discussed during the study session. Mr. Karimi's letter (Attachment No.
2) recommends the inclusion of 12 different regulations for consideration in the code
amendment. They are requesting consideration for the following reasons:
• Service stations in West Covina compete with stations in neighboring cities that
allow alcohol sales
P:\Case Files\CODE AMEND120181ABC Sales at Svc Sta'slInitiate Staff Report.doc
Code Amendment Initiation
Alcohol Sales at Service Stations
August 28, 2018 - Page 2
• Convenience store customers prefer "one stop shopping"
• Their research indicates that Covina, Glendora, Azusa, Diamond Bar, Whittier and
the County of Los Angeles allow for the sale of beer and wine at service
station/convenience stores.
• The recommended regulations include standards such as no advertisement of
alcohol on the fuel islands, no sales of single containers, no alcohol displayed within
5 feet of the front counter, and signs on property stating that alcohol shall not be
consumed on the premises.
Generally, a study session is held between the initiation and the public hearing to allow
for discussion on what standards should be included in the code amendment. Subsequent
to the study sessions, a public hearing will be scheduled before the Planning Commission.
Planning Commission will then make a recommendation and the code amendment will be
presented to the City Council. It is important to note that the Planning Department is
currently processing several Code Amendments (including commercial marijuana
cultivation, accessory dwelling unit revisions, and Downtown Plan parking standards)
and the Planning Department staffing levels have been reduced.
The City of West Covina Fee Schedule adopted on June 18, 2017, includes a category of
"Code Amendment Proposed by Applicant". In cases where an applicant is proposing a
Code Amendment consideration, the Fee Schedule establishes a deposit of $2,500 with
final cost being the fully burdened hourly rate of staff time, actual costs (for publishing in
the newspaper) and cost of City Attorney time. If it is the desire of the Planning
Commission to initiate the code amendment, the $2,500 fee would need to be paid prior
to staff commencing work on the code amendment.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, INITIATING CODE AMENDMENT
NO. 18-04 RELATED TO THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
AT SERVICE STATIONS
WHEREAS, on August 28, 2018, the Planning Commission considered the initiation
of a code amendment related to the sale of alcoholic beverages at service stations; and
WHEREAS, the studies and investigations made by the Planning Commission reveal the
following facts:
1. The Municipal Code currently prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages at service
stations.
2. Due to changed conditions in the business community and the fact that service stations
today may generally include the accessory use of convenience markets, it is
appropriate to consider the removal of the prohibition of the sale of alcoholic
beverages at service stations.
3. The proposed action is considered to be exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA
Guidelines, in that the proposed action consists of a code amendment, which does not
have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Planning Commission of the City of
West Covina, in conformance with Section 26-153(a)(3) of the West Covina Municipal Code,
does hereby initiate an application for a Code Amendment related to the sale of alcoholic
beverages as an incidental use at service stations.

RE: Request for the City to initiate an amendment to the City of West Covina Zoning Code to
allow the sales of alcohol in conjunction with a service station/convenience store.
Dear Sir, "
The purpose of this letter is to formally request that the City of West Covina initiate the process
for a Municipal Code, Zoning Text amendment to allow for the sale of beer and wine in
conjunction with a service station/convenience store in the City of West Covina.
Presently the City of West Covina allows for the establishment of service stations on
Commercial zoned properties and Industrial zoned properties subject to a conditional use permit
and subject to the applicable development standards under each zoning classification.
However, the Code prohibits the sale of beer and wine in conjunction with service stations
(Section 26-6640).
Service station/convenient stores located in West Covina must compete on a regional basis with
service station/convenience stores located in neighboring cities who can provide the convenience
of "one stop shopping" for their customers.
It has been shown that service station/convenience store customers prefer "one stop shopping"
when fueling their automobiles. Providing this convenience eliminates the need for a second
shopping stop, which can add in excess of 20 minutes to the average commuters' day. A public
convenience or necessity would be served if this amendment was initiated along with increased
economic and social advantages for the City of West Covina which would be gained from new
tax revenues. The West Covina Zoning Code currently has a provision (Section 26-685.106)
requiring additional findings to be made when considering beer and wine uses and proximity to
residences, parks, schools, preschools, day care facilities, and churches to ensure that the use will
not create any undue adverse impacts or otherwise be detrimental to the public health, safety, and.
Welfare of the community.
As part of our study, a number of other cities zoning codes were analyzed to determine what
standards have been established for the sale of beer and wine in conjunction with a service
station/convenience store which include the cities of Covina, Glendora, Azusa, Diamond Bar,
Whittier and the County of Los Angeles.
Now would these cities be causing an undue adverse impact on the public's health, safety, and
general welfare? No, because the policies of the general plan are still implemented and all of the
cities identified in the study permit the sale of beer and wine in conjunction with a service
station/convenience store subject to a conditional use permit. Some cities, for example, such as
the City of Diamond Bar, have adopted specific standards which stipulate that any alcohol sales
must be a minimum distance of 150 feet away from any school.
The proposed amendment if initiated by the City would allow an incidental use, the sale of beer
and wine in conjunction with a service station/convenience store, by amending Division 4,
Section 26-663. Permitted incidental uses of West Covina Code and by adding a new sub
paragraph (n) to read as follows:
"(n) Sale of alcoholic beverages subject to a conditional use permit."
And to delete Division 4, Section 26-664, Prohibitions sub paragraph (c) which reads as follows;
"(c) Sale of alcoholic beverages."
The City may also consider the following regulation, which are examples of alcohol standards
imposed upon businesses by Conditional Use Permit.
1. The advertisement of beer and wine shall not be permitted at motor fuel islands.
2. Single container sales of multiple-pack alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
3. Identification card reader is required to determine the authenticity of the identification
and displays the age of the individual.
4. Installation of a comprehensive imaging system which views and records the entirety of
the premise and property.
5. No pay phones shall be permitted on the exterior of the premises.
6. No beer and wine shall be displayed within 5 feet of the cash register or front door.
7. No beer and wine shall be sold from or displayed in an ice tub.
Sincerely,
Mohsen Katimi
Eastland Chevron Extra Mile ( Business Owner )
8. A sign(s) in both English and Spanish shall be posted in the parking lot and on the
exterior of the building notifying person that alcohol shall not be consumed on the
premises,
9. No coin operated video games or video entertainment machines shall be permitted on the
premises.
10. Signs shall be prominently posted in English and Spanish, stating that California State
Law prohibits the sale of beer and wine to persons under the age of 21 years.
il. Require that current development standards be met prior to the issuance of a new beer
and wine Conditional Use Permit
12. Limit the area permitted for the display and sale of alcohol.
In conclusion, we found that a majority of cities have established a process in their code to allow
the sale of beer and. wine in conjunction with a service station/convenience store through a
conditional use permit application process with specific distance standards to schools. The list of
regulations contained above can be applied by cities/counties under a Conditional Use Permit to
ensure that the use will not create any adverse impacts or otherwise be detrimental to the public's
health, safety, and welfare of the community but, instead can increase economic and social
advantages, will provide a great convenience/need for the public, and will continue to uphold the
orderly planned use of land resources.
We are not a service station (mechanic shop) gas station as they used to call us. We are now a gas station
convenient store.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (626)
665-3013, if you should have any questions.
