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 21, 2015, the Planning Commission reviewed a letter from Thrifty Oil Co. requesting that the
Planning Commission continue the public hearing to the regular meeting of October 19, 2015. The letter
stated that more time was needed for public outreach. At that meeting the Planning Commission
unanimously approved to continue the public hearing to the regular meeting of October 19,2015.
On October 13, 2015, Thrifty Oil Co. submitted a second letter requesting that the Planning Commission
continue the public hearing to the regular meeting of December 7, 2015 (See Attachment 'Al. The letter
states that although 7-Eleven and Thrifty Oil Co. have made good progress on their outreach efforts, they
only recently have been able to obtain foreign language speakers to assist with the translation of the
Chinese language.
It is recommended that the Planning Commission move to continue the public hearing to the regular meeting
of December 7,2015.
B. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT 15-06
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING CODE AS RELATED TO MASSAGE ESTABLISMENTS IN
THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD—During the 2014 legislative session the Legislature passed, and the Governor
signed AB1147 relating to massage establishments. This bill restored the ability of cities and counties to
regulate massage establishments and establish land use controls as of January 1, 2015. As a result,
Municipal Code Amendment 15-06 is a City initiated amendment that proposes to amend the zoning
provisions of the Rosemead Municipal Code, Title 17("Zoning"), to require that massage businesses obtain
Conditional Use Permit for operation in a C-3(Medium Commercial)zone.
