THEATER COMMITTEE REPORT Mr. Hersh presented the Committee report as follows: The Planning Commission Theater Committee (Commissioners Schymos and Dauer and Mr. Hersh) report that after investiga- tion and consideration they find that: 1. Theaters and auditoriums are specialized uses established in buildings constructed to suit the peculiar needs of the use and not readily convertible for other commercial or industrial uses. 2. Location of theaters is vital if the business is to be successful. A conspicuous site, extensive public exposure, and easy assessability are prime considerations for location of any theater or auditorium. 3. Relationship to main traffic arteries, to other theaters or aduitoriums, to heavily used commercial areas, and to densely populated area are other vital factors considered in establishing a theater or auditorium. a 0 0 PC August 5, 1969 Page three Theater Committee Report (Continued) 4. Establishment of a theater or auditorium should be care- fully considered.by the City authorities to prevent improper placement of the peculiar type of large, expen- sive building required for the subject use, since both the building and the use might be objectionable and detrimental to other uses and future developments if incorrectly located. The Theater Committee therefore recommends the Planning Commission consider,and after public hearing, approve and recommend approval to the City Council the amendment of the Rosemead Zoning Ordinance (Ord. 112) to remove from the C -3 Zone regula- tions "Section 9111.1 -B -39 Theaters or auditoriums except drive -in theaters). ", and to add to "Section 91 - Con 1_ tional Uses Permitted in Specific Zones ": 18. Theaters and auditoriums in the C -3 and M -1 Zones.
