number of ~~arkiny apaces.
Ther.e w~s no one indicating theic presence in opposition to subjcct request
and althouqh the atafF report was not read, it ia referred to and made a part
of the minukes.
Lawrence eellomo, agent, referred to Pdragraph 3 of the staff re~ort• which
indicates this buainess license was is~ued on March 8, 1983, prior to zoniny
Division appxoval, and stated that was not intentional. He also referred to
other paragraphs which indicate permits have been issued for retafl sales for
other propertieE in the area and in the same zone.
Mr. Bellomo atated this use is not a t)rpic~l retail place of business because
basebali card collectors would walk in and look around and ask for a
particular card and if it is not there, they would leave right away and not
br.owse like a per~on would in a furniture store, etc. He atated if there
would be four people in the store at any one ti.me, it would be a lot. He
pointed out Chis is across from the Anaheim Stadium and thought it would
certainly be compatible with and is similar to other uses in the area. He
stated they do not think traffic congestion would be a problem and did not
think any type of expansion would Gause any additional undue burden on the
industrial zone.
THE PU~LIC HEARING WAS CLOSEU.
Commissioner ~ush~re pointed out Paragraph 6 refers to a conditional use
permit to permit retail sales of furnituce at 1200 E. Katella Avenue and
indicates it is within the same industcial cumplex but it i» a different
street and indicated if that is on subject property, it should be terminated.
I~ was later determined by staff that this was a mappiny error and that that
conditional use permit should not be termfnated.
The nature af the complaint wAS diacussed, with Greg Hastings noting the
complaint was the result of an action taken by the Code Enforcement Officer
after receiving a complaint and that the complaint pertained to retail salea
in the industrial area.
