Memorandum
TO: Daniel G. Hobbs, City Manager
and City Council
FROM: Douglas McIsaac, Planning Director
Planning Department
SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGE NO.669
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
Applicant: Amat Tajudin, EBTA Architects
AGENDA
ITEM NO. 13-1
DATE February 6, 2001
Location: Northwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue North
and the southwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue
South.
SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change to change the zoning on two
properties from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-C). The
.properties are located on Hollenbeck Street on the north and south side of the San
Bernardino Freeway. The purpose of the request is to allow for the construction of
off -site employee parking facilities for Penske Motorcars located at 2010 E. Garvey
Avenue South. Applications for this project also include a precise plan for the
physical development of the property and a variance to allow for off-street parking
facilities that are greater than 300 feet from the building that they serve, which were
previously approved by the Planning Commission on January 9, 2001.
BACKGROUND:
The properties in question are remnant parcels that were leftover as a result of the construction of
the San Bernardino Freeway. The "Open Space" (O-S) Zone was created in 1975. At that time the
subject properties designated "O-S". The properties have remained vacant since the construction of
the freeway.
Penske Motorcars is an existing car dealership located at 2010 E. Garvey Avenue South. The
dealership is located on a four -acre parcel. The applicant's representative, Amat Tajudin, is
requesting to develop off -site parking facilities on two separate lots on Hollenbeck Street, one
north of the San Bernardino Freeway and one to the south. The property on the north side of the
freeway is 17,406 square feet and the property on the south side of the freeway is 19,806 square
feet. The properties are currently vacant.
DISCUSSION:
The subject properties are to be improved with parking facilities, lighting, and landscaping. In
order to create a level parking area, the applicant is proposing retaining walls along the
Hollenbeck Street frontage on both parcels. In addition, sidewalks would be constructed along
Garvey Avenue North and South to allow for pedestrian travel to and from the subject properties.
The northern property is 17,406 square feet and located on the southwest corner of Hollenbeck
Street and Garvey Avenue North. The improvements to the lot include providing 45 parking
spaces, a drop-off area, lighting, landscaping and a retaining wall with a maximum height of six
feet along the Hollenbeck Street frontage.
The southern property is 19,806 square feet and located on the northwest corner of Hollenbeck
Street and Garvey Avenue South. The improvements on the lot include providing 42 parking
spaces, a drop-off area, lighting, landscaping and a retaining wall with a maximum height of three
feet along the Hollenbeck Street frontage.
The proposed parking facilities are allowed to be used as additional employee parking. The
applicant has indicated that Penske is planning to use shuttles to transport their employees to and
from the parking facilities. The lots will mainly be used for employees who arrive in the early
morning and leave in the early afternoon, as that is when parking demand is at its highest. The
WUPITER\PLANDATA\City Council\SfrptsJA\200]\PenskeZC.doc
ZC No. 669
Page 2 — February 6, 2001
parking facilities are not to be used for storage or display of vehicles, and conditions have been
included in the Precise Plan Resolution, approved by the Planning Commission, clarifying the
use.
Penske Motorcars was originally approved through Precise Plan No. 762. The applicant has not
requested to modify Precise Plan No. 762 as a part of this process, therefore no changes to the
dealership at 2010 E. Garvey Avenue can be made as part of this application.
The properties are leftover parcels that were not needed to complete the freeway and underpass
construction. Allowed uses in the "Open Space" Zone are natural areas and parklands. At the
time the property was designated as "O-S" it appears that there was some hope that CalTrans
might landscape the properties. That did not occur. The applicant is proposing a zone change to
allow the development of off -site parking facilities on the properties. A similar situation occurs
on the northwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue South, where a parking facility
for Villa Tepeyac Restaurant has been developed. Because the property is located adjacent to the
freeway and is not a feasible site for a park or natural area, it is staff s belief that changing the
zone to "Service Commercial" is appropriate and will allow the property to be improved and
maintained.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the project would have a negligible fiscal impact, although it would a positive
incremental impact due to enhanced property tax valuation of the property.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION
On January 9, 2001, a public hearing was held before the Planning Commission. The Planning
Commission's main concern was to clarify that the use of the properties would be for employee
parking, and not for storage or vehicle display. The Commission added the wording "no new,
used, or customer vehicle pickup, delivery or drop-off shall occur on either of the lots" to the
condition regarding vehicle storage and display. The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the zone change and approved the precise plan and variance by a vote of 3-1.
Commissioner Tafoya voted against .the proposal due to concerns that the off -site parking facilities
were not convenient to the dealership and that it would set a bad precedent. Commissioner Lane
was not in attendance at the meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission and staff recommend the City Council introduce the following
ordinance:

VARIANCE NO.1045
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
APPLICANT: Amat Tajudin, EBTA Architects
LOCATION: Northwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue South and the
southwest corner of Hollenbeck and Garvey Avenue North
WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission a verified application on the forms
prescribed in Chapter 26, Article VI of the West Covina Municipal Code, requesting approval of a
variance on that certain. property generally described as follows:
Assessor's Parcel No. 8454-012-022 and 8479-001-012, in the records of the Los
Angeles County Assessor; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon giving the required notice, did on the 9th day
of January, 2001, conduct a duly advertised public hearing as prescribed by law; and
WHEREAS, studies and investigations made by this Commission and in its behalf reveal
the following facts:
1. The applicant is requesting approval- of a variance to allow parking facilities at a distance
greater than 300 feet between the parking facility and use being served.
2. The variance is being requested in conjunction with a zone change to change site zoning
from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-C), and a precise plan to allow for
the development of two separate parking facilities.
3. The variance is necessary to allow the property owner the same property rights as other
properties in the "Service Commercial" (S-C) Zone.
4. Appropriate findings for approval'of a variance are as follows:
a. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances not applicable generally to
the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone.
b. That such variance is necessary for preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone but which
is denied to the property in question.
C. That granting such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which
property is located.
d. That granting such variance shall be consistent with the adopted General Plan and
any applicable Specific Plans.
5. Pursuant to requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970,
as amended, the project is a Class 4 Categorical Exemption (Section 15304: Minor

Alterations to Land)) since the project consists of grading and the installation of parking
facilities and does not include the construction of any structures.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina does resolve
as follows:
1. On basis of evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings:
a. There are extraordinary circumstances not applicable generally to other property in
the same vicinity and zone. The site is constrained by its location abutting the
freeway, the irregular lot configuration, and the small lot size. Furthermore, said
parking facilities shall be limited to employee parking only.
b. The variance to allow for a parking facility greater than 300 feet from the use is
necessary for enjoyment of property, rights similar to those enjoyed by other
properties in the vicinity because of the irregular lot configuration and small lot
size.
C. The proposed variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to adjacent properties because the development will be part of the "Auto
Row" district and will be compatible with the surrounding commercial uses.
Additionally, site specific landscaping will enhance appearance of the site. The
project will benefit the area, as it will allow the improvement of a lot that has been
vacant and unimproved since the construction of the San Bernardino Freeway.
d. The proposed project will not adversely affect the City of West Covina General Plan
because the project proposed zone change is in compliance with the General Plan.
The granting of the variance to allow parking facilities at greater than 300 feet
allows for the development of properties in the "Freeway Corridor" which the
General Plan supports being developed in line with economic reality.
2. That pursuant to all evidence presented, both oral and documentary, and further based on
the findings above, Variance No. 1045 is approved subject to the following conditions:
a. , Comply with Study Plan "A," dated January 9, 2001.
b. Comply with Exhibits 1 to 4, dated January 9, 2001.
t
C. Approval of this variance is contingent upon approval of Zone Change No. 669, and
Precise Plan No. 884.
d. Comply with all other requirements of the "Service Commercial" (S-C) Zone.
e. Comply with all other applicable requirements of Division 6, Article XII, Chapter
26 of the West Covina Municipal Code.
3. The Secretary is instructed to forward a copy of this Resolution to the applicant, City
Engineer and City Council for their attention.

on certain properties generally described as:
Assessor's Parcel No. 8454-012-022 and 8479-001=012 in the records of the Los
Angeles County Assessor; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon giving required notice, did on the 9' day of
January, 2001, conduct a duly advertised public hearing as prescribed by law; and
WHEREAS, studies and investigations made by this Commission and in its behalf reveal
the following facts:
1. The applicant is requesting approval of a precise plan to construct parking facilities on two
separate lots.
2. This precise planapplication is submitted in conjunction with a request for approval of a
zone change to change site zoning from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-
C), and a variance to allow parking facilities at a distance greater than 300 feet.
3. The project meets or exceeds development' standards, with the exception of distance
between the parking facility and use being served, of the "Service Commercial" (S-C) Zone.
4. The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of "Service and
Neighborhood Commercial" and the zoning designation of "Service Commercial" (S-C).

\UUPITER\PLANDATA\Resos\014664. doc

same degree of protection of adjoining properties, as would be, accorded in normal
circumstances, by the standard restrictions imposed by the Municipal Code.
b. That strict adherence to the development standards of the applicable zone and the
proposed precise plan will not measurably depreciate property values in the vicinity
or interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in the vicinity or endanger the
public peace, health, safety or general welfare.
C. That the project is reviewed in terms of its architectural design, general exterior
appearance, landscaping, color, texture of surface materials and exterior
construction, shape and bulk and other physical characteristics including location
and type of public utility facilities and is found to facilitate the orderly development
of the precise plan area.
8. Pursuant to requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as
amended, the project is a Class 4 Categorical Exemption (Section 15304: Minor Alterations
to Land)) since the project consists of grading and the installation of parking facilities and
does not include the construction of any structures.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina does resolve as
follows:
1. On basis of evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings:
a. The two parking facilities have been designed to adhere to the same standards, with
the exception of distance between the parking facility and use being served, as other
properties within the same zone. The parking lot design, including parking spaces,
drive aisles and approaches, grading and landscaped area comply with the standards
of development specified in the Zoning Code.
b. The proposed project is compatible with surrounding residential and commercial
uses. The sites are designed to accommodate vehicular and pedestrian traffic by
accessing Garvey Avenue North and South. Sidewalks will be constructed to allow
pedestrian access between the sites and the Penske dealership at 2010 E. Garvey
Avenue South.
The project sites are both adjacent to the San Bernardino Freeway and are vacant
unimproved sites. The development of the sites as off -site parking facilities will not
adversely affect properties in the vicinity because residential properties are
separated by Garvey Avenue South and all other surrounding land uses are currently
commercial.
C. The parking facilities are designed to be in keeping with the character of the
"Freeway Corridor" and Auto Row. Landscape areas have been included on all
sides and in the parking area to soften the hardscape and provide a more aesthetic
environment to the area.
2. That pursuant to all evidence presented, both oral and documentary, and further based on
findings above, Precise Plan No. 884 is approved subject to provisions of the West Covina
Municipal Code, provided physical development of the herein described property shall
conform to said plan and conditions set forth herein which, except as otherwise expressly
indicated, shall be fully performed and completed or shall be secured by bank or cash
deposit satisfactory to the City Planner, before use or occupancy of the property is
commenced and before the Certificate of Occupancy is issued, and violation of any of
which shall be grounds for revocation of said precise plan by the Planning Commission or
City Council.
3. That the precise plan shall not be effective for any purpose until the owner of the property
involved (or a duly authorized representative) has filed ' at the office of the Planning

ZONE CHANGE NO.669
PRECISE PLAN NO.884
VARIANCE NO. 1045
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
APPLICANT: Amat Tajudin, EBTA Architects
LOCATION: Northwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue North
and the southwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue
South
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change to change the zoning on two
properties from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial' (S-C), a precise plan for the
site plan layout, and a variance to allow for off-street parking facilities that are greater than
300 feet from the building that they serve. The properties are located on Hollenbeck Street
on the north and south side of the San Bernardino Freeway. The property located on the
north side of the freeway is 17,406 square feet and the property on the south side of the
freeway is 19,806 square feet. The purpose of the request is to allow for the construction of
off -site employee parking facilities for Penske Motorcars located at 2010 E. Garvey Avenue
South.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt resolutions approving Zone Change
No. 669, Precise Plan No. 884, and Variance No. 1045, subject to the conditions enumerated
therein.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The project is a Categorical Exemption, Class 4 (Section 15304: Minor Alterations to
Land) pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970
(CEQA) since the project consists of grading and the installation of parking facilities and
does not include the construction of any structures.
HISTORY
The properties in question are remnant parcels that were leftover as a result of the
construction of the San Bernardino Freeway. The property on the north side of the freeway
was originally zoned "Neighborhood Commercial' (N-C) while the property on the south
side of the freeway was zoned "Residential Agricultural' (R-A). On October 14, 1975, the
City Council approved Zone Change No. 493, which created the "Open Space" (O-S) Zone
and designated a number of remnant freeway parcels as "Open Space". The two subject
parcels were at that time designated "O-S".

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
Penske Motorcars is an existing car dealership located at 2010 E. Garvey Avenue South.
The dealership is located on a four -acre parcel. The applicant's representative, Amat
Tajudin, is requesting to develop off -site parking facilities on two separate lots on
Hollenbeck Street, one north of the San Bernardino Freeway and one south of the
Freeway. Both properties are remnants from the construction of the freeway and the
Hollenbeck underpass. The property on the north side of the freeway is 17,406 square
feet and the property on the south side of . the freeway is 19,806 square feet. The
properties are currently vacant.
Penske Motorcars was originally approved through Precise Plan No. 762. The applicant
has not requested to modify Precise Plan No. 762 as a part of this process, therefore no
changes to the dealership at 2010 E. Garvey Avenue can be made as part of this
application.

January 9, 2001 — Page_3
The Penske car dealership currently has a total of 268 parking spaces on the property,
based upon the most current comprehensive parking review approved by the Planning
Department in 1999. Based on the parking code the dealership is required to have 123
parking spaces. The 1999 plans indicated 29 customer parking spaces, 39 employee
parking spaces, 7 handicapped parking spaces, and 193 service spaces (including 130
spaces at the rear on the lower level). The applicant has indicated that they would like to
increase the number of employee parking spaces available to their employees by
providing the proposed parking facilities.
The proposal requires the approval of three separate applications. These include (1) the
zone change from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial' (S-C) (2) a precise plan
to approve the layout of the improvements on the two lots; and (3) a variance to approve
parking facilities at a distance greater than 300 feet.
Zone Change
The properties are leftover parcels that were not needed to complete the freeway and
underpass construction. Allowed uses in the "Open Space" zone are natural areas and
parklands. At the time the property was designated as "O-S" it appears that there was
some hope that CalTrans might landscape the properties. That did not occur. The
applicant is proposing a zone change to allow the development of off -site parking
facilities on the properties. A similar situation occurs on the northwest corner of
Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue South, where a parking facility for Villa Tepeyac
Restaurant has been developed. Because the property is located adjacent to the freeway
and is not a feasible site for a park or natural area, it is staff s belief that changing the
zone to "Service Commercial' is appropriate and will allow the property to be improved
and maintained.
Precise Plan
In order to develop the vacant property, the applicant has requested approval of a precise
plan. The subject properties would be improved with parking facilities, lighting, and
landscaping. In order to create a level parking area, the applicant is proposing retaining
walls along the Hollenbeck Street frontage. In addition, sidewalks would be constructed
along Garvey Avenue North and South to allow for pedestrian travel to and from the
subject properties.
The northern property is 17,406 square feet and located on the southwest corner of
Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue North. The improvements to the lot include
providing 45 parking spaces, a drop-off area, lighting, landscaping and a retaining wall with
a maximum height of six feet along the Hollenbeck Street frontage.
The southern property is 19,806 square feet and located on the northwest corner of
Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue South. The improvements on the lot include
providing 42 parking spaces, a drop-off area, lighting, landscaping and a retaining wall with
a maximum height of three feet along the Hollenbeck Street frontage.
The proposed parking facilities are allowed to be as additional employee parking. The
parking facilities are not to be used for storage or display of vehicles, and conditions are
included in the Precise Plan Resolution clarifying the use. In addition, the
Redevelopment Agency has requested a condition allowing the City to install an "Auto
Plaza" sign at a future date, which would match the sign on the corner of Azusa Avenue
and E. Garvey Avenue South. A condition requiring the dedication of an easement has
been included.
Variance
The Zoning Code requires that parking facilities be located within 300 feet of the building
they are required to serve (Section 26-581 b). The dealership located at 2010 E. Garvey
Avenue South is located 960 feet from the southern parcel (northwest corner of Hollenbeck
and Garvey Avenue South) and 1,850 feet from the northern parcel. (The distances
specified are walking distances.) Therefore the applicant has requested the approval of a
\\JUPITER\PLANDATA\PLANCOM\SfrptsJA\Penske\StaffReport 1.9.0 Ldoc
ZC 669, PP 884, Var 10
January 9, 2001 — Page 4
variance to allow for the development of parking facilities at a distance greater than 300
feet.
The subject properties are both under one-half acre in size and do not have freeway
accessibility, although they do have frontage. Due to the size and irregular lot configuration,
the potential for development is limited. The proximity of the lots to the freeway and auto
dealerships support their improvement as an accessory use to the "Auto Row" development
and in keeping with the idea of the "Freeway Corridor." In light of these circumstances,
staff is in support of the variance to allow the development of the parking facilities.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending to the
City Council approval of Zone Change No. 669 and adopt resolutions approving Precise
Plan No. 884 and Variance No. 1045.

NOW THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina does
hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION NO. 1: Based on evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the
Planning Commission finds as follows:
a. The proposed zone change from the existing "Open Space"
classification to "Service Commercial" will be compatible with existing
character of the "Freeway Corridor" and of uses near the project site. The
property is located adjacent to the San Bernardino Freeway and is not an
appropriate site for a park or natural area.
b. The "Service Commercial" Zone is a zoning designation that will
serve to assist in provision of non-residential uses that will ensure a strong
economic base for the City of West Covina. Additionally, the change of
zone will allow for the development of the vacant property that has no
benefit to the City in its present condition. As such, the zone change will
further the general welfare of the City and its residents.
C. The proposed zone change will not adversely affect he City of West
Covina General Plan because the General Plan Designation for the site is
"Service and Neighborhood Commercial". The proposed zoning is in
conformance with the General Plan designation.
d. The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan which
currently designates the subject properties as "Service and Neighborhood
Commercial'.
SECTION NO. 2: Based on evidence presented and findings set forth, Zone
Change No. 669 is hereby found to be consistent with the City General Plan and
implementation thereof.
SECTION NO. 3:. The Planning Commission recommends the City Council
approve Zone Change No. 669, changing the . zoning designation for subject
property as set forth on Exhibit A, and amending the Zoning Map of the City of
West Covina.
SECTION NO. 4: Pursuant to requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, the project is a Class 4 Categorical
Exemption (Section 15304: Minor Alterations to Land)) since the project consists
of grading and the installation of parking facilities and does not include the
construction of any structures.
SECTION NO.5: The Secretary is instructed to forward a copy of this Resolution
to the City Council for its attention in the manner as prescribed by law.

PRECISE PLAN NO.884
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
APPLICANT: Amat Tajudin, EBTA Architects
LOCATION: Northwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue South and the
southwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue North
WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission, a verified application on forms
prescribed in Chapter 26, Article VI of the West Covina Municipal Code, requesting approval of a
precise plan to allow construction of parking facilities on two separate lots, one lot located on the
northwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue South being 17,406 square feet and
containing 42 parking spaces, and the second lot located on the southwest corner of Hollenbeck
Street and Garvey Avenue North being 19,806 square feet and containing 45 parking spaces.
on certain properties generally described as:
Assessor's Parcel No. 8454-012-022 and 8479-001-012 in the records of the Los
Angeles County Assessor; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon giving required notice, did on the 9"' day of
January, 2001, conduct a duly advertised public hearing as prescribed by law; and
WHEREAS, studies and investigations made by this Commission and in its behalf reveal
the following facts:
1. The applicant is requesting approval of a precise plan to construct parking facilities on two
separate lots.
2. This precise plan application is submitted in conjunction with a request for approval of a
zone change to change site zoning from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-
C), and a variance to allow parking facilities at a distance greater than 300 feet.

The project meets or exceeds development standards, with the exception of distance
between the parking facility and use being served, of the "Service Commercial" (S-C) Zone.
The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of "Service and
Neighborhood Commercial" and the zoning designation of "Service Commerciar' (S-C).
Approval of this requested precise plan and associated zone change and variance will not be
detrimental to adjacent properties.
The project has been designed in a manner sensitive to surrounding land uses.
Appropriate findings for approval of a precise plan are as follows:
a. That consideration has been given and restrictions imposed to the extent necessary
to permit the same degree of enjoyment of the subject property, but subject to the
\\JUPITER\PLANDATA\PLANCOWresosJA\Penske\Penske-PP Resolution-1.9.doc
Planning Commission Resolutieo. •
Precise Plan No. 884
January 9, 2001
Page 2
same degree of protection of adjoining properties, as would be accorded in normal
circumstances, by the standard restrictions imposed by the Municipal Code.
b. That strict adherence to the development standards of the applicable zone and the
proposed precise plan will not measurably depreciate property values in the vicinity
or interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in the vicinity or endanger the
public peace, health, safety or general welfare.
C. That the project is reviewed in terms of its architectural design, general exterior.
appearance, landscaping, color, texture of surface materials and exterior
construction, shape and bulk and other physical characteristics including location
and type of public utility facilities and is found to facilitate the orderly development
of the precise plan area.
8. Pursuant to requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as
amended, the project is a Class 4 Categorical Exemption (Section 15304: Minor Alterations
to Land)) since the project consists of grading and the installation of parking facilities and
does not include the construction of any structures.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina does resolve as
follows:
1. On basis of evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings:
a. The two parking facilities have been designed to adhere to the same standards, with
the exception of distance between the parking facility and use being served, as other
properties within the same zone. The parking lot design, including parking spaces,
drive aisles and approaches, grading and landscaped area comply with the standards
of development specified in the Zoning Code.
b. The proposed project is compatible with surrounding residential and commercial
uses. The sites are designed to accommodate vehicular and pedestrian traffic by
accessing Garvey Avenue North and South. Sidewalks will be constructed to allow
pedestrian access between the sites and the Penske dealership at 2010 E. Garvey
Avenue South.
The project sites are both adjacent to the San Bernardino Freeway and are vacant
unimproved sites. The development of the sites as off -site parking facilities will not
adversely affect properties in the vicinity because residential properties are
separated by Garvey Avenue South and all other surrounding land uses are currently
commercial.
C. The parking facilities are designed to be in keeping with the character of the
"Freeway Corridor" and Auto Row. Landscape areas have been included on all
sides and in the parking area to soften the hardscape and provide a more aesthetic
environment to the area.
2. That pursuant to all evidence presented, both oral and documentary, and further based on
findings above, Precise Plan No. 884 is approved subject to provisions of the West Covina
Municipal Code, provided physical development of the herein described property shall
conform to said plan and conditions set forth herein which, except as otherwise expressly
indicated, shall be fully performed and completed or shall be secured by bank or cash
deposit satisfactory to the City Planner, before use or occupancy of the property is
commenced and before the Certificate of Occupancy is issued, and violation of any of
which shall be grounds for revocation of said precise plan by the Planning Commission or
City Council.
3. That the precise plan shall not be effective for any purpose until the owner of the property
involved (or a duly authorized representative) has filed at the office of the Planning

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF WEST
COVINA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING VARIANCE NO.1045.
VARIANCE NO.1045
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
APPLICANT: Amat Tajudin, EBTA Architects
LOCATION: Northwest corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue South and the
southwest corner of Hollenbeck and Garvey Avenue North
WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission a verified application on the forms
prescribed in Chapter 26, Article VI of the West Covina Municipal Code, requesting approval of a
variance on that certain property generally described as follows:
Assessor's Parcel No. 8454-012-022 and 8479-001-012, in the records of the Los
Angeles County Assessor; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon giving the required notice, did on the 9th day
of January, 2001, conduct a duly advertised public hearing as prescribed by law; and
WHEREAS, studies and investigations made by this Commission and in its behalf reveal
the following facts:
1. The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to allow parking facilities at a distance
greater than 300 feet between the parking facility and use being served.
2. The variance is being requested in conjunction with a zone change to change site zoning
from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-C), and a precise plan to allow for
the development of two separate parking facilities.
3. The variance is necessary to allow the property owner the same property rights as other
properties in the "Service Commercial" (S-C) Zone.
4. Appropriate findings for approval of a variance are as follows:
a. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances not applicable generally to
the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone.
b. That such variance is necessary for preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone but which
is denied to the property in question.
C. That granting such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which
property is located.
d. That granting such variance shall be consistent with the adopted General Plan and
any applicable Specific Plans.
5. Pursuant to requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970,
as amended, the project is a Class 4 Categorical Exemption (Section 15304: Minor

Alterations to Land)) since the project consists of grading and the installation of parking
facilities and does not include the construction of any structures.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina does resolve
as follows:
1. On basis of evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings:
a. There are extraordinary circumstances not applicable generally to other property in
the same vicinity and zone. The site is constrained by its location abutting the
freeway, the irregular lot configuration, and the small lot size. Furthermore, said
parking facilities shall be limited to employee parking only.
b. The variance to allow for a parking facility greater than 300 feet from the use is
necessary for enjoyment of property rights similar to those enjoyed by other
properties in the vicinity because of the irregular lot configuration and small lot
size.
C. The proposed variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to adjacent properties because the development will be part of the "Auto
Row" district and will be compatible with the surrounding commercial uses.
Additionally, site specific landscaping will enhance appearance of the site. The
project will benefit the area, as it will allow the improvement of a lot that has been
vacant and unimproved since the construction of the San Bernardino Freeway.
d. The proposed project will not adversely affect the City of West Covina General Plan
because the project proposed zone change is in compliance with the General Plan.
The granting of the variance to allow parking facilities at greater than 300 feet
allows for the development of properties in the "Freeway Corridor" which the
General Plan supports being developed in line with economic reality.
2. That pursuant to all evidence presented, both oral and documentary, and further based on
the findings above, Variance No. 1045 is approved subject to the following conditions:
a. Comply with Study Plan "A," dated January 9, 2001.
b. ' Comply with Exhibits 1 to 4, dated January 9, 2001. '
C. Approval of this variance is contingent upon approval of Zone Change No. 669, and
Precise Plan No. 884.
d. Comply with all other requirements of the "Service Commercial' (S-C) Zone.
e. Comply with all other applicable requirements of Division 6, Article XII, Chapter
26 of the West Covina Municipal Code.
3. The Secretary is instructed to forward a copy of this Resolution to the applicant, City
Engineer and City Council for their attention.

CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
CITY OF WEST COVINA
An Agenda Item is scheduled to .come before you on Tuesday, February 6, 2001 concerning a
Variance and Zone Change application submitted by Penske Motorcars for two off -site parking
areas. The properties involved are located on the Northwest comer of Garvey Avenue South
and Hollenbeck Street, and the. Southwest comer of Garvey Avenue North and Hollenbeck
Street. These parcels represents the visual Eastern gateway to the Auto Plaza especially with
their prominent frontage on the San Bernardino Freeway. Any development of these parcels
impact the entire Auto Plaza. Any . use of these properties Is related to the operation of every
other dealer in the Auto Plaza.
As of this date, neither the applicant nor the Planning Department Staff has offered to or given a
presentation to the other dealers: in the Auto Plaza outlining the proposed development of these
properties, the architectural treatment of any improvements and use of materials compatible
with the theme of the Auto Plaza, the planned operation of the facility and any proposed signage
or other Identification to be located on the sites. Because of the importance of any development
of these parcels, we feel that such a presentation and an opportunity for comments and input
from the other dealers in the Auto Plaza must be made prior to any hearing before the City
Council. It is for these reasons :that we are requesting a postponement of this Variance/Zone
Change application from the agenda on February 6, 2001 until after the time a presentation can
be made to the other members of the Auto Plaza Dealers Association.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
