3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 20-07 - Qing Geng has submitted a Conditional Use Permit application,
requesting to reestablish a massage services use located at 9131 Valley Boulevard (APN: 5391-013-018),
in the Central Business District with a Design Overlay (CBD/D-0) zone. The massage services use was
legally established prior to the City's Zoning Code amendment in 2015 when massage services use was
permitted in the CBD zone. The massage establishment is now considered legal nonconforming as a
massage services use is only permitted in the Medium Commercial (C-3) zone with an approved Conditional
Use Permit (CUP). Although it's no longer permitted in the CBD zone, Rosemead Municipal Code Section
17.72.030(C), allows a nonconforming use which has been abandoned or has been discontinued for a
period of one year to be reestablished. Since the massage services use was discontinued in April 2020, the
use may be reestablished with the approval of a CUP. Per Ordinance 956, no massage business or
establishment may operate without first obtaining a Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Chapter
17.132 (Conditional Use Permits). The applicant has submitted the Conditional Use Permit application within
one year since the nonconforming use was discontinued.

ROSEMEAD, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE

VALLEY BOULEVARD (APN: 5391-013-018), IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT WITH DESIGN

B. MODIFICATION 20-03 AND PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY (PCN) 20-01 — 7 -Eleven, Inc. has
submitted a Modification (MOD) application requesting to amend Conditional Use Permit 14-01 which was
approved by the Planning Commission on December 7, 2015. Specifically, the applicant is proposing to
amend Conditions of Approval No. 1, 38, 39, and 41 to permit retail alcohol sales with an Off -Sale General

of alcohol from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., and permit the sale of single cans or bottles of alcohol, respectively.
Per Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.120.110, the proposed change may only be approved by the
original review authority for the project through a modification permit application filed and processed in
compliance with Chapter 17.120. In addition, 7 -Eleven, Inc. has submitted a Public Convenience or
Necessity (PCN) application requesting that the City of Rosemead determine that the issuance of a Type 21
ABC License for MOD 20-03 will serve the public convenience or necessity, as required by the State
Department of ABC when a project site is located within a census tract with an undue concentration of
alcohol licenses and/or a crime reporting district with an undue concentration of crime. The project site is
