RESOLUTION NO. 93 -3274
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE
CITY REVERSING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO
APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93 -1186, A REQUEST BY
GEORGE TOMASIAN TO ALLOW A BILLIARD PARLOR WITH 20
BILLIARD TABLES AND SNACK BAR WITHIN AN EXISTING
COMMERCIAL UNIT, FORMERLY OCCUPIED BY MILLER'S
OUTPOST, WITHIN THE K- MART /ALBERTSON'SBUILDERS
EMPORIUM SHOPPING CENTER LOCATED AT 5573 ROSEMEAD
BOULEVARD IN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL (C -2) ZONE.
(TOMASIAN)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
SECTION 1. Based upon testimony received at a noticed public hearing before the City Council
and upon the facts contained in the staff report and testimony received at a noticed public hearing before
the Planning Commission, the City Council denied the request based upon the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is not adequate in size, shape, topography and
circumstances in that the proposed location is situated within a retail commercial shopping
center as opposed to an entertainment - oriented area. Consequently, the proposed use
could result in business conflicts within the shopping center and insufficient parking at
peak user times.
2. That the site has insufficient access to streets and highways, adequate in width and
pavement type to carry the quantity and quality of traffic generated by the proposed use
in that the proposed billiard club could generate significant traffic so as to
disproportionately contribute to the volume of traffic and parking in the immediate
vicinity; for example, most shoppers within the shopping center would be termed "short -
term" parkers while the patrons of the proposed billiard club could occupy available
parking for an extended period of time.
3. That the proposed use will have an adverse effect upon the use, enjoyment or valuation
of adjacent property or upon the public welfare in that the billiard use will be located
within an existing shopping center which contains other commercial businesses which could
be negatively impacted. The proposed billiard club is likely to be incompatible with other
commercial establishments within the shopping center; while it is possible to impose
conditions which may lessen the probability of an adverse impact, approving a use with
onerous conditions can contribute with the failure of that business establishment, which
may not be fair to the applicant /investor and may not be fair to other businesses within
the shopping center which would be hurt by the additional vacancy.
SECTION 2. This project should not result in significant effects upon the environment and a
Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines. The initial
statement as prepared indicates there is no potential for adverse impact to the environment as it relates
to all wild animals, birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and related ecological communities, including the habitat
upon which the wildlife depends for its continued viability.
SECTION 3. Accordingly, Conditional Use Permit 93 -1186 is denied.
