HEARINGS: PP #680 11/8/76
Planning Director made staff presentation.
Explained the appellant is Mariposa Enterprises, which has the
mexican restaurant located two doors west of,the proposed develop-
ment. Grounds for the appeal are: The Planning Commission did
not have adequate information at their disposal to render a proper
• decision and secondly, the proposed Precise Plan would not be in
the best interests of the City of West Covina. Staff concluded
that the Planning Commission did have before it all the informa-
tion required; staff feels the development would be in the best
interests of the City. Staff recommended to the City Council
that it reject the appeal and approve Precise Plan No. 680 sub-
ject to the conditions listed in the Planning Commission resolu-
tion.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED.
Dean -Pic'L;`-Lawyer' (Sworn in by the City Clerk)
Representing Mariposa The basis for the appeal is on the
Enterprises, Inc., grounds set forth in the Notice of
300 So. Park Appeal filed on October 12, 1976.
Pomona Basis of Appeal: Planning Commission
did not have all the information it
should have had. When the presentation was made before the
Planning Commission there were no photographs presented showing
the construction of a restaurant dealing in mexican food
approximately 100' to the west; and in making a survey it was
found that withina radius of three miles there are 25 restaurants
serving mexican food.
Further submitted when a Planning
Commission, whose prime -concern for the development within a
• City is preservation of that development for the benefit of the
City, factors of that sort are significant ones for considera-
tion. The fact is that another mexican restaurant at this loca-
tion is not in the best interests of the City. The sales tax
revenues from successfully operating businesses in the City are
of extreme importance. Two restaurants serving almost identical
memus so close together is not in the best interests of the City,
placing them in extreme jeopardy of both of them being unable to
.successfully compete because they are competing for the same
market.
IN OPPOSITION.
John Endicott, Lawyer (Sworn in by the City Clerk)
Gibson, Dunn & Gave presentation and the history of the
Crutcher property owned by Mr. Eichenbaum including
515 So. Flower St., that which is now in process of development
Los Angeles called Restaurant Row. Estimated total
Representing construction will aggregate approximately
J. K. Eichenbaum several million dollars which will be added
to the tax rolls of the City. Sales from
the new construction will be in the range of six to. seven million
dollars a year added to the sales tax base.
The proprietors of the proposed El Torito
were aware of the existing Mariposa Inn and are perfectly willing to
• compete and believe there is a market for another good mexican
restaurant. Furthermore, it will be an improvement for the City,
Restaurant Row will be an attractive area and furnish the citizens
of this community and adjoining communities a choice of places to
eat at.

Dean Picil Comments of Mr. Endicott •indicating that
competition is the essence of the American
System is where issue must be taken.
• Certainly umbridled competion has never been an accepted
principle in planning and it is not accepted by any type of
group that is primarily concerned with the perpetuation of good
businesses in a community.
HEARING CLOSED. COUNCIL DISCUSSION.
Shearer questioned the City Attorney as
to necessity for an applicant .for a precise plan to prove a need.
Mr. Wakefield responded it is not a requirement in connection with
the approval of a pre-cisre plan. What is before the City Council
is a issue as to whether or not thd proposed development -of a
restaurant on the site in question, located in the.location which
it is, meets the precise plan requirements of the City insofar
as parking layout is concerned, landscaping requirements and the
other elements that go into the approval or disapproval of a
precise plan as such.

No. 10-76-2683. City Clerk verified Proof

mailed.
Planning Director gave staff presentation.
The items that were appealed:' The Engineering requirement for a
grading and drainage plan of the site; requirement for additional
data concerning parking lights as well as dataconcerning
adequacy of existing driveways and the requirement that street
lights be underground. City Engineer today advised a grading and
drainage plan was submitted by applicant that requires a few
minor changes.
Re.parking light requirement, explained
requirement is not for t-he entire lot but merely that area directly
affected by the applicant's construction. Major issue is the
undergrounding of street lights. A maximum of two lights involved.
• City policy in the past has been when there is an addition to a
commercial area if there are any street lights required or the
lights are substandard they must be put underground.
Staff's recommendation would be that the
City Council concur with the Planning Commission requirement that
the appropriate street lights. on Nogales Avenue be installed
underground.

wiring: This does'impose an undue hardship because of the cost
involved. I don't believe it was the intent of this Council to
enact an ordinance that would impose hardship on anyone attempt—
ing to come into your City. Fotomat wants to be a good neighbor
and have a good looking building.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER PUBLIC TESTIMONY PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION.
Council discussed the hardship contention
feeling in this case it does place an undue hardship. City
Engineer advised Council that the bulk of the lights in that area
are on wood poles, there is one underground light at McDonald's
and another one or two on Nogales. As new construction has come
in underground lights have been installed but the bulk of lighting
is overhead.
Motion by Chappell to -remove the requirement
for the undergrounding of the street lights and approve the staff
recommendation as it stands; seconded by Tice and carried.

Three street lights underground are required. The.other item
being appealed is street dedication, a requirement°calling for a
15' dedication. Staff would concur with Planning Commission
resolution as far as the street dedication is concerned and not
prejudge the issue of street lights and would also recommend that
condition be imposed in this case.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED.
Cecil Green (Sworn in by the City Clerk)
Representing Fotomat Concurred With staff.and hoped to be able
1818 West Street to work out the same conditions here as
Fullerton, CA. in the previous issue; however, this time
we do have a couple of different conditions.
• Number 1 is the 15' dedication for about
19000 feet which is 15,000 square feet which is a hardship for the
use of 36 square feet of parking lot. The same thing holds true
here for the undergrounding of the street lights. And, this
particular owner will not dedicate.
