A. The Planning Commission considered a request for a modification of Conditional
Use Permit 06-1659 to allow the expansion of an existing preschool known as
Young People's Village. The applicant's proposal is to expand the kitchen area by
adding 69 square feet to building #3 which is located on the northeast corner of the
site and is addressed as 6051 Rosemead Boulevard. The subject site is zoned R-3
and is designated as High -Density Residential by the General Plan. After

B. The Planning Commission considered a request for a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP 11-1780) to allow the interior subdivision of a commercial building,
resulting in two commercial units at 9822 Las Tunas Drive. The subject site is
currently improved with a 2,654 square foot single -story commercial building
which is currently occupied by a medical office. The request is to subdivide the
existing building into two commercial units so that another business would be
allowed on the premises. The subject site is in the City's East Commercial (EC)
District of the Downtown Specific Plan and is designed as Commercial by the
General Plan.
This item was continued to the next regular meeting of April 12, 2011 by a 3-2
vote. A 3-2 majority of the Planning Commission wanted to see specific
options to address the problem of vehicles hitting the adjacent building to the
east of the subject property. It seems that cars parking on the subject property
may have backed in to the building on a separate property directly to the east
of the subject property. Staff will work with the applicant to come up with an
acceptable barrier that could be installed between the parking lot of the subject
building and the building to the east. This solution will be presented to the
Planning Commission at the April 12, 2011 meeting.

The Planning Commission meeting was adjourned at 8:18 p.m.
CONCLUSION:
