CC - Item V. B - Request For Relief From Ordinance No. 811 2727 Stingle Ave, Unit 74 ✓
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGE
DATE: JUNE 7, 2001
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR RELIEF FROM ORDINANCE NO. 811
2727 STINGLE AVENUE, UNIT 7
BACKGROUND
This is a request by Xiu Ying Zhang, d.b.a. "8.7 Golden Fashion, Inc.", for relief from
Ordinance No. 811 in order to relocate her business in the City of Rosemead and continue
to use the subject site as a garment manufacturing business. On September 12, 2000, the
City Council approved Ordinance No. 811 adopting a moratorium on the issuance of any
permits or entitlements for garment manufacturing, processing, or assembling in the M-1;
Light Manufacturing Zoning District. However, Xiu Ying Zhang is requesting relief
from the strict interpretation of the ordinance at this time.
DISCUSSION
Currently, there is an existing conditional use permit (CUP) for this subject site. On May
19, 1997, the City Planning Commission approved CUP 97-712, allowing for the
operation of a garment manufacturing business known as "H.K. Fashion, Inc.", located at
2727. Stingle Avenue, Units 7 & 8, but no longer occupies Unit 7.
The current applicant has occupied a garment manufacturing business in the City at 2714
Stingle Avenue (across the street from 2727 Stingle, Unit 7) for four years. However,
that property owner sold the property and the applicant was forced to vacate. The
applicant is now requesting the City's permission to move into Unit 7 at the subject site
as a garment manufacturing business in effort to keep her business within Rosemead.
If approved by the City Council, a public hearing for a new Conditional Use Permit
before the Planning Commission will be held on Monday, June 18, 2001.

VII. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS
H.R. 1918 (CANNON) - STUDENT ADJUSTMENT ACT OF 2001
Mayor Imperial stated that this bill will allow anyone that comes across the border
illegally and is determined to have state residency status, will be able to attend a public school or
college.
MOTION BY COUNCILMAN TAYLOR, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER CLARK
that the Council oppose H.R. 1918 (Cannon), and direct staff to prepare the necessary
correspondence. Vote resulted:
Yes. Taylor, Imperial, Clark, Vasquez
No: Bluesch
Absent: None
Abstain: None
The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered.
Mayor Pro Tern Bluesch stated that he voted no because the bill states that if a student
has been here for five years, his/her status can be readjusted. Therefore, the student will already
be a resident of that community and should be able to attend a public school.
Councilmember Clark stated that she has a problem with that because these are people
who arrived here illegally, and will be using taxpayers money to attend college. Ms. Clark stated
that it is difficult enough for citizens of this county to obtain financial aid.
Councilman Taylor stated that he objects to the bill also because it states it amends the
"Illegal" Immigration Reform, etc. Mr. Taylor continued that there are too many exceptions in
the bill. .
Councilman Vasquez stated that he agrees with Councilman Taylor and Councilmember
Clark.
