driving; and
WHEREAS, this appeal-de-novo has been noticed as required by the West Covina
Municipal Code (WCMC) and other laws for modification of a precise plan; 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 revision to a precise plan to allow the expansion of
the expansion of an existing automobile dealership, modify an existing dealership (formerly
West Covina Saturn) relative to site access and on -site circulation and parking. In addition,
the currently separate sites would be consolidated under one precise plan due to their inter-
relatedness. The precise plan application is accompanied by Tree Removal Permit No. 21
for the removal of up to 10 significant trees.
2. The project as designed with conditions of approval, meets and exceeds the development
standards of the "Service Commercial (S-C) Zone."
3. The project has been designed in a manner sensitive to surrounding land uses through the
design and placement of the proposed buildings, the architectural design of the buildings,
the placement of landscape to assist in softening the appearance of the development from
• the single-family residences to the south and conditions of approval.
4. Approval of the requested precise plan will in no way be detrimental to adjacent properties.
5. The project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of "Service and
Neighborhood Commercial."

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
• 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.
7. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970,
a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact has been prepared and certified
indicating that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect due to mitigating measures.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina does resolve as follows:
1. On the basis of the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings:
a. The proposed project meets the minimum requirements of the "Service
Commercial" (S-C) Zone. The project has been designed with conditions of
approval, in a manner that is compatible with the existing automobile dealerships
and the design character of the "Auto Plaza." The demolition of the six (6)
existing single-family residences and the development of the vacant portion of the
site will facilitate the completion of the development of the "Auto Plaza" as
currently envisioned in a manner compatible with • adjacent automobile
dealerships. In addition, implementation of the project will facilitate the
completion of the landscape and parkway treatment established along Norma
Avenue on the south. The architectural style of the proposed expansion and new
dealership is compatible in terms of building mass, colors, materials and
architectural features as the existing dealership.
Landscaping on the site exceeds the minimum requirements with specific
attention directed toward the landscape treatment along Norma Avenue and
adjacent to the parking structure. Planting of specimen size landscape materials in
this area will assist in softening the appearance of the buildings from the existing
single-family residences and mitigation measures are included in the
environmental analysis requiring such planting. Where possible, the existing
mature trees that are healthy and aesthetically viable will be preserved and utilized
in the landscape design to provide the desired aesthetic screening. In addition, the
• removal of each significant tree will require replacement planting at a two -to -one
ratio (24-inch, 36-inch box or larger).
b. Implementation of the proposed project will not measurably depreciate property
values or interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in the vicinity as the site
was previously planned for development of an automobile dealership including a
three-story parking structure at the rear of the site along Norma Avenue. The
tallest portion of the development is located more proximately to Garvey Avenue,
away from the single-family residences to the south. Implementation of the
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\P871 RSCC.doc
Resolution No. 9714
Precise Plan No. 871
Hassen Imports Partnership - West Covina Dodge
July 20, 1999 - Page 3
project will result in the removal of six (6) single-family residences previously
planned for removal and which currently blight the residential neighborhood. The
• continuation of the landscape and sidewalk treatment along Norma Avenue will
result in a cohesive design and will complete the parkway and planting treatment
as currently planned and previously approved. The proposed buildings comply
with the minimum setback requirements and are designed in a manner that is
architecturally compatible with the existing automobile dealerships utilizing
similar materials and colors.
c. The proposed building expansion to the existing West Covina Dodge facility is
located south of the existing dealership and service building and thus is not
readily visible from adjacent properties to the east, south and west. The building
is designed with the same materials and finishes as the existing service building.
The proposed dealership expansion is also designed with materials matching the
existing West Covina Dodge dealership building, which is compatible with the
modern architectural design concept for the "Auto Plaza." Development of the
site in the proposed project is consistent with the plans for the "Auto Plaza"
established in 1981 and subsequently revised to include the expansion areas. All
utilities are in place to serve the proposed development. A minor extension of a
storm drain will be installed concurrently with the construction of the project that
will be partially funded by the applicant.
2. That pursuant to all of the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, and further based
on the findings above, the decision of the Planning Commission is upheld and Precise Plan
No, 871, and Tree Removal. Permit No. 21 are approved subject to the provisions of the
West Covina Municipal Code, provided that the physical development of the herein
described property shall conform to said plan and the 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 the use or
occupancy of the property is commenced and before the Certificate of Occupancy is issued,
and the 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 City Planner, his
affidavit stating he is aware of, and accepts, all conditions of this precise plan as set forth
below. Additionally, no permits shall be issued until the owner of the property involved (or
a duly authorized representative) pays all costs associated with the processing of this
application pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 8690.
4. That the approval of the precise plan is subject to the following conditions:
a. Comply with Study Plan "A" (Sheets I — 3), dated, July 6, 1999.
b. Comply with Exhibits 1 - 4 dated, July 6, 1999.
C. Comply with all requirements of the "S-C" Zone.
