23 DASH ZERO ONE.THE APPLICANT AND I ARE HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF BEFORE WE ASK THE APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD? SEEING NONE, I'LL GO AHEAD AND REQUEST THE APPLICANT COME FORWARD.
UM, I BELIEVE THAT IS, UH, SHEA VERGARA CORRECT.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT COMMISSIONER HANG IS NOW PRESENT AS OF 7:03 AM PM SORRY.
I'M TRINA RIVERA AND I'M A SMALL OWNER IN THE CITY OF WEST COVINA.
AND, UM, I'M ACTUALLY FROM THE FA UH, SAN FERNANDO VALLEY.
AND WE'VE HAD A RESTAURANT FOR FOUR YEARS.
IT USED, I MEAN, UH, WE ARE ACCESSING RE STATUS OF MANILA.
IT USED TO BE ANOTHER FILIPINO RESTAURANT, WHICH WE ACQUIRED IN 2019 PRE PANDEMIC.
AND, UM, THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ACQUIRE THE NEXT RESTAURANT, WHICH WAS, UH, SHAKY PIZZA.
IT HAD BEEN THERE FOR 20 YEARS.
AND, UM, PANDEMIC CHANGED THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS.
AND, UH, WE WANTED TO OFFER LIVE ENTERTAINMENT CUZ SHAKEY'S PIZZA USED TO HAVE THE BEER AND WINE, UM, IN ITS PLACE.
WE WANNA, UM, ADD, UM, ENTER LIVE ENTERTAINMENT.
REASON BEING IS DURING THE PANDEMIC, I PERSONALLY WITNESSED SOME OR MOST PEOPLE, THEY WERE REALLY COOP UP IN THEIR ROOMS. AND THE MOMENT THE, UH, PANDEMIC, UM, THE SAFE SHELTER AT HOME, UH, WAS LIFTED, EVERYBODY CAME OUT AND JUST STARTED DINING OUT AND WE KINDA LOST THAT CONNECTION.
SO THE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT WILL DEFINITELY BRING, UM, THAT HUMAN CONNECTION BACK AGAIN.
SO THAT THE REASON, IT'S NOT A LOUD ENTERTAINMENT, WE JUST WANT A VERY AIAN MUSIC WHEREIN WE CAN STILL TALK AND ENJOY SAM TOURIST MILL, UH, CELEBRATE MILESTONES AND, UM, AFTER A HARD DAY'S WORK BECAUSE WE SIT IN RIGHT IN THE HEART OF SUPERMARKETS, UM, UH, THE BIG, UH, THE BIG BOX, UM, RETAILERS AND SOME OF THOSE, UM, WAREHOUSES.
SO THEY NEED THE SPACE TO REALLY HANG OUT.
AND SOME OF THEM, IN OUR EXPERIENCE WITH OUR OTHER RESTAURANT, THEY WOULD EX, UH, CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY PARTIES IN THE PARK, WHICH IS A GREAT WAY TO DO, BUT I KNOW LINA HAS A LOT OF PARTS, BUT WITH A LOT OF POPULATION, THERE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH, AND ESPECIALLY IF IT'S WINTER SEASON, THEY'RE ALL GROUP UP INSIDE THEIR ROOM.
SO THE BRANDING OR THE, UM, THE CONCEPT OF THIS, UM, RESTAURANT IS JUST SO A PIZZA.
YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY LOVES A PIZZA, PIZZA AND A, AND A DISAPPEAR WINE.
AND, UM, THERE'S A PARTY ROOM WHEREIN PEOPLE CAN HAVE SERAS OR ANY WHATEVER YOU HAVE, UM, EIGHTIES, NINETIES, WHATEVER BIRTHDAY.
SO WE WILL OFFER A SPACE FOR THEM, UM, TO HANG AND TO CELEBRATE THOSE STRENGTHENING THE DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF WEST COVINA.
AND I'M SEEKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL FOR THIS.

UM, NONETHELESS, WITH THE PARKING SPACES ONSITE AND THE PARKING SPACES PROVIDED OFFSITE BY THE NEIGHBORING PARCELS, THE CHURCH USE WOULD STILL MEET THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES, SPACES REQUIRED FOR THEIR FLOOR PLAN.
THIS IS JUST THE EXPANSION ITSELF.

THERE WOULD BE TWO, UM, INSTRUMENT OR STORAGE ROOMS, UM, A FOYER AND THE MEN'S RESTROOM SHOWN HERE ON THE BOTTOM, THE WOMEN'S ON THE TOP AND A NEW OFFICE SPACE SHOWN HERE IN GREEN.

AND, UM, AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY THAT WE, THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES, WHICH I THINK IS AN EDUCATION SCHOOL, THEY'RE VERY COOPERATIVE TO SHARE WITH US A PARTY CUZ THEY NEVER USE A WEEKEND.
AND MAINLY OUR CENTURY BUILDING WILL BE USED ON SUNDAYS, UH, FOR CHURCH SERVICES, VERY OCCASIONALLY ON SATURDAY IF THERE'S A
[00:15:01]
WEDDING.AND WE HOPE THERE'S MORE WEDDINGS,
SO, UM, ANYHOW, UM, THERE, SO WE, WE, UM, WORK ON A PARKING SITUATION AND, UM, AND ABOUT THE CLASSES WE HAVE USUALLY MAYBE BIBLE STUDY CLASSES AND OTHER CLASSES PROBABLY AT THE WEEK, THE WEEKENDS OR SATURDAY EVENINGS OR FRIDAY NIGHTS PROGRAM PERHAPS FOR THE, UH, FOR THE, UH, YOUTH AND SO, SO FORTH.
SO ON SUNDAY, REALLY, UM, THAT'S MOSTLY USED ON THAT SUNDAY MORNING.
SO FAR WE DON'T, WE DON'T EVEN FORESEE ANY ACTIVITIES, UM, OTHER, OTHER THAN THOSE OPERATION HOURS AS STATED.
AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND PERHAPS MY UH, UH, PROJECT DESIGNER.
LOUIS, WOULD YOU HAVE ANYTHING, ANYTHING TO ADD TO? UH, WE HAVE A STATE YOUR NAME.
YEAH, MY NAME IS LOUIS LA AT THE CHURCH MEMBER BECAUSE OUR CHURCH IS EXPANSION, SO WE LIKE TO HAVE A NEW CHURCH.
RIGHT NOW, THE EXISTING BUILDING IS VERY OLD, AND THEN WE HAVE MORE, WE, WE WANT MORE PEOPLE COME TO OUR CHURCH.
SO WE HAVE, UH, THE PART OF THE SITE AND THEN WE HAVE A NEW BUILDING, MAKE IT BIGGER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL, AND THEN ATTRACT THE PEOP YOU KNOW, THE AREA.
AND THEN PEOPLE CAN COME AND SEE FROM THE HIGHWAY, SEE THAT THE CHAIR HERE, SO PEOPLE COME AND THEN JOIN THE EQUITY AND THEN FOR THE WORSHIP OUR OF THE KIT FOR STUDYING SOME BIBLE KNOWLEDGE OR WHATEVER.
SO I THINK THAT IS THE PURPLE OR OUR CHURCH.
UH, DOES ANY MEMBER OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? OH, THE ONLY QUESTION THAT I HAVE WITH YOUR PARKING AGREEMENT, IT'S A CASE THAT YOU ARE WANTING TO SHARE YOUR PARKING AS WELL AS BE ABLE TO USE THE NORTHWEST COLLEGE PARKING LOTS.
YEAH, WE HAVE AGREEMENT RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, WE HAVE AGREEMENT RIGHT NOW AND THEN LOOK LIKE FOR THE SHORT TERM, IF THEY CONTINUE THIS ONE, WE REVIEW EVERYTHING AND THEN WE, WE, WE RECITE THE CONTRACT AGAIN.
UH, ALLOW ME TO CLARIFY IS A QUESTION ABOUT RECIPROCATION.
SO ON THE WEEKDAYS THAT THE EDUCATION CENTER, THEY COULD USE OUR PARKING.
YES, THAT'S, SO WE HAVE THE RECIPROCATING, SO THEY HAVE MORE PARKING NOW.
SO IT'S ACTUALLY A RECIPROCAL PARKING AGREEMENT, UHHUH
I I JUST HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.
IT SEEMS THAT THE PARKING AGREEMENT THAT'S, UH, SUBMITTED AS ATTACHMENT THREE, IT'S JUST FOR 36 MONTHS.
UM, OBVIOUSLY, UM, OBVIOUSLY SINCE YOU DO HAVE A PARKING SHORTFALL, THE ONLY CONCERN THAT I THINK I WOULD HAVE ABOUT ANYTHING IS, UM, IT, LET'S SAY THEY, THEY DON'T RENEW AT THE END OF THE 36 MONTH TIME PERIOD.
UM, WHAT, WHAT WOULD YOUR PLAN BE TO ADDRESS THE PARKING SHORTFALL THEN? UH, I THINK FROM, WE, WE THINK ABOUT THIS ONE BEFORE, LOOK LIKE NOT FAR AWAY, THERE ARE HOTEL WITHOUT HAVE A PARKING.
WE, WE, I THINK OUR CHURCH PASTOR ALREADY THINK TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE.
AND THEN AFTER THAT, FEW YEARS LATER, IF THE, THE AGREEMENT WE, WE DON'T HAVE ANYMORE.
SO WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE HOTEL PARKING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? RIGHT, THANK YOU.
UH, WE'LL NOW HEAR, UH, TESTIMONY FROM THOSE IN FAVOR.
UM, I, I DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER CARD, DAVID ENG WONG, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD.
I AM THE, UH, YOUTH WORSHIP DIRECTOR AT THE CHURCH.
UM, JUST MAYBE JUST GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AS TO WHY WE'RE DOING THIS NOW.
UM, OUR CHURCHES HAVE ACTUALLY COME TOGETHER AS A MERGER, UH, THAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR.
UM, AND SO ORIGINALLY THE CHURCH I WAS WORKING FOR, UH, LIVING GRACE ALLIANCE CHURCH WAS OPERATING IN HACIENDA HEIGHTS.
AND, UM, GRACE ALLIANCE CHURCH, WHICH IS THE CURRENTLY RESIDING IN THE BUILDING HERE, UH, WE DECIDE TO JOIN TOGETHER.
UM, AND SO BECAUSE OF THIS EXTRA SORT OF, UH, POPULATION, WE, WE FOUND JUST THE NEED FOR A MUCH BIGGER SPACE.
UM, AND WE'RE, WE'RE HOPING THAT, UM, OUR SPACE CAN BECOME MORE OF A MUCH MORE COMMUNITY AREA AS WELL.
UM, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A RECOGNITION OF HOW CHURCH IS SUPPOSED TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S INTEGRATED IN COMMUNITY, UM, THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A, A PRESENCE THAT WORKS ALONGSIDE, UH, OTHER ASPECTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE'RE IN.
AND WE SEE A LOT OF POTENTIAL IN WEST COVINA, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE WAYS THAT, UM, IT'S BEEN ONE OF THE FEW NEIGHBORHOODS IN LA COUNTY THAT'S ACTUALLY GROWN, UH, THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.
SO IT'S BEEN PRETTY INTERESTING TO SEE SOME OF THE YOUNGER FAMILIES DRIVING THIS WAY.
AND, UH, WE JUST WANNA BE PART OF THAT GROWTH AS WELL.
[00:20:01]
WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT? ALL RIGHT.SEEING NONE, UH, ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WHO IS OPPOSED TO THE PROJECT? ANY NEUTRAL? ALL RIGHT.
SEEING NONE, I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN DISCUSSION BY THE COMMISSION.
UM, ANY DISCUSSION? I'LL JUST LET YOU KNOW.
I DID, UM, GO INTO THE PLANNING, UM, OFFICE YESTERDAY FOR CLARIFICATION ON THE PARKING WHICH STAFF HAS, HAS ADDRESSED AND ALSO TO ABOUT THE PARKING AGREEMENT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I ASKED STAFF TO EXPLORE WAS HAVING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO REVIEW THE RECIPROCAL PARKING AGREEMENT.
AND I HAD ASKED THAT THEY ALSO LOOK AT HAVING IT RECORDED BECAUSE AGAIN, IF PROPERTIES CHANGE HANDS, WE JUST WANT, IT'S GONNA BE A CASE SINCE THEY'RE DOING NEW CONSTRUCTION, ONCE THEY GET THEIR C O IT'S NOT GONNA BE A CASE WHERE THE CITY'S GONNA COME BACK AND SAY, GUESS WHAT? WE NEED THE PARKING, OR WE ASK YOU TO REMOVE YOUR ADDITION.
SO SOLIDIFY IT TO INSTEAD OF A VERBAL TO A CONTRACT, MORE OR LESS.
SO ANYONE THAT MAY CHOOSE TO USE THE PROPERTY, THEY'LL BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A RECIPROCAL PARKING AGREEMENT.
THE, THE ONLY PRACTICAL QUESTION I HAVE IS, UH, OBVIOUSLY WHAT IS PRESENTED IS ONLY A 36 MONTH AGREEMENT, SO, CORRECT.
SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS, UM, HOW, HOW WOULD WE MODIFY THAT SUCH THAT THE, THE RECORDATION OF IT OUTSIDE OF THE, THE TIME PERIOD FROM TODAY THROUGH LET'S SAY 2026? CORRECT.
UM, HOW, HOW WOULD WE ADDRESS THAT? I, I THINK THAT'S THE, THE PRACTICAL CONSIDERATION.
CAN WE, UM, THERE IS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL REQUIRING THAT THE AGREEMENT, UM, BE, RE BE RE RENEWED PRIOR TO THE, UM, THE EXPIRATION.
UM, AND, AND THERE'S ALSO A SEPARATE REQUIREMENT STATING THAT IT AT ANY P UM, AT ANY POINT, UM, WHERE THE AGREEMENT CANNOT BE RENEWED, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION SO THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION CAN CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR, FOR THEIR PARKING.
WOULD THE SCHOOL BE ABLE TO OPERATE AT FULL CAPACITY WITHOUT THEIR PARKING LOT? NO.
IT'S, IT'S JUST THAT, UM, AT, WELL, OKAY, SO THEY WERE APPROVED, THE SCHOOL WAS APPROVED TO OPERATE WITHOUT THEIR PARKING LOT.
UM, HOWEVER, HOWEVER, UM, IT'S, THERE SEEMS TO BE A NEED FOR THE, THE SCHOOL TO U UTILIZE THEIR PARKING LOT FOR THEY NEED AN OVERFLOW.
SO IT BEHOOVES BOTH PARTIES TO MAKE IT WORK.
I CAN'T SEE EXACTLY, BECAUSE I'LL SEE A PROBLEM, IT'LL HELP THEM WITH THE CHURCH WITH THEIR EXPANSION.
AND THAT CONDITION IS, I BELIEVE G THAT CONDITION IS LETTER G.
SO, SO SHELBY, IF, IF I, I DO SEE THAT.
SO IF, IF WE WERE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT INCLUDED RECORDATION, IT WOULD BE INCLUDING RECORDATION OF SUBSEQUENT RENEWAL AGREEMENTS AS WELL.
SO WE DID, UM, SHERIFF, I MAY, SORRY.
UM, UM, MIRIAM HAD REVISED CONDITION G TO ADD THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RECORDA RECORDATION, AND THE CITY ATTORNEY HAD, UM, JUST CONSULTED WITH ME STATING THAT HE WILL BE REVIEWING THE AGREEMENT PRIOR TO RECORDATION.
THEY SEEMED LIKE PERFECT NEIGHBORS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? OKAY.
SEEING NONE, UH, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MOTION TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NUMBER 22 DASH ZERO NINE.
IS THAT, IS THAT WITH OR WITHOUT THE, UH, THE MODIFICATION? UH, WITH THE MODIFICATION.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'D LIKE TO SECOND THE MOTION.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BAER, SECOND BY COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS. UM, JOANNE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THE, UH, RESOLUTION NUMBER BEFORE THAT HAPPENS? CHAIR, IF I COULD JUST, UM, I QUICK IN RESPONSE TO COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS, JUST A QUICK MINOR REVISION TO THAT CONDITION THAT'S UP ON THERE REGARDING, I JUST RECOMMEND TO ADD THE LANGUAGE, UM, AT THE END OF THE UNDERLYING SECTION, JUST, UM, AND RECORDED WITH
[00:25:01]
THE LA COUNTY RECORDER'S OFFICE FOLLOWING APPROVAL BY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.AND I'VE ALREADY PASSED THAT LANGUAGE ON COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO AMEND YOUR MOTION TO INCLUDE THAT LANGUAGE? YES, I'D LIKE TO AMEND, UM, MY MOTION TO INCLUDE THE LANGUAGE OR I, I APOLOGIZE.
COMMISSIONER BACE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO AMEND YOUR MOTION TO INCLUDE THAT LANGUAGE? I COULD READ IT FROM HERE.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S UP THERE.
IT'S, UH, IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO HIS, UM, CITY ATTORNEY'S APPROVAL.
CITY ATTORNEY'S APPROVAL OF ABSOLUTELY.
OF THE AGREEMENT PRIOR TO RECORDATION.
YES, WE WILL AMEND THE MOTION.
AND IS THERE A SECOND TO THE AMENDED MOTION? THERE'S A SECOND TO THE AMENDED MOTION.
UH, SO WITH THE AMENDED MOTION BY, UH, COMMISSIONER VARA, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS. JOANNE, WILL YOU READ THE RESOLUTION NUMBER? AND, UH, LET'S DO ROLL CALL.
THE RESOLUTION NUMBER IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 23 DASH SIX ONE TWENTY FIVE.
AND THEN ROLL CALL COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS. AYE.
UH, THIS MATTER IS FINAL UNLESS APPEALED TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITHIN 10 DAYS.
THERE ARE NO, UH, NON-HEARING ITEMS, SO
[COMMISSION REPORTS/COMMENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS ]
WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMISSIONER REPORTS AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. UH, DOES ANY COMMISSIONER HA HAVE, UH, ANYTHING THEY'D LIKE TO REPORT OR COMMENT ON WITH REGARD TO ANY ITEM? OH, I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE CITY FOR GIVING, UM, ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO, TO THE PLANNING COMMISSIONER'S ACADEMY.I WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE FIRST DAY AND THE, UH, INFORMATION THAT THEY GAVE, UM, WAS HELPFUL AS FAR AS RUNNING, UM, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS AND SO FORTH.
IT SEEMS LIKE IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS THEY'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH PERHAPS UNRULY CROWDS AND STUFF, AND SO THEY GAVE GOOD ADVICE ON HOW TO HANDLE AND THEN ADDRESS THOSE THINGS.
ANY OTHER REPORTS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.
[4. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S REPORT:]
