3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. DESIGN REVIEW 14 -02, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 14.01, AND PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR
NECESSITY 14.02 — On July 20, 2015 the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing
for Design Review 14 -02 and Conditional Use Permit 14 -01 to allow the development of a one -story 2,400
square foot 7- Eleven convenience market with an Off -Sale Beer and Wine (Type 20) Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) license. The store proposes a 24 -hour operation with no alcohol sales after 11:00 p.m.
Since the project site is located within a census tract with undue concentration of alcohol licenses and within
a high crime reporting district, the application also included a request for a determination that the alcohol
license will serve the Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN 14 -02) as required by State ABC. At that
hearing the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed project and received testimony from members of
the public. In response to public testimony, the Planning Commission decided to continue the item to the
meeting of September 21, 2015 so that the community had more opportunity to give input. The Commission
further encouraged 7- Eleven to do neighborhood outreach and bring back crime statistics for the two
existing 7- Eleven stores (7- Eleven at 4800 Temple City Blvd. in Temple City and 7- Eleven at 10009 Valley
Blvd. in El Monte).
On September 11, 2015, Thrifty Oil Co. submitted a letter requesting that the Planning Commission continue
the public hearing to the regular meeting of October 19, 2015. The letter indicates that based on the
feedback that they received during their public outreach meeting on September 9, 2015, additional time is
needed for more public outreach.
It is recommended that the Planning Commission move to continue the public hearing to the regular meeting
of October 19, 2015.
B. TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 73496 - Don Bosco Technical Institute has submitted an application for a
Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide one (1) existing parcel into two (2) parcels. No new development will

located at 1151 San Gabriel Boulevard, in the P -D (Planned Development) zone.
