hearing of Negative
Declaration and Appeal No. 376, filed by James A. and Mary F.
Butts, of the Planning Commission denial of Variance 77-11, to
allow self-service gas pumps on an existing market site in the
C5 District at 2151 East Santa Clara Avenue.
Planning Director Charles Zimmerman reviewed the Planning Commis-
sion Finding of Fact which concluded, in part, that no special
circumstances existed on the subject property to justify grant-
ing a variance, and that the property enjoys all the property
rights afforded under the C5 zoning. The Director further
stated that the site is poorly designed for the proposed use
and that there are other facilities in the area to provide the
proposed service.
Proponent James A. Butts, 9401 Tanager Avenue, Fountain Valley,
stated gasoline pumps are helpful to a convenience market; that
they will utilize existing land space and make a small profit;
that the lot is well suited to the addition of a pump island
by reason of the size and location of the access driveways; that
it will provide a service to his customers; that the CS zone
allows markets and service stations, and he wants to combine
the services because there is no conflict; that the proposed
use will not be detrimental to the neighborhood; and that
denial of the variance hurts his rights as a property owner.
There were no other proponents or opponents or written communica-
tions, and the Mayor.closed the public hearing.
Council approved and filed the Negative Declaration and directed
the City Attorney to prepare a resolution granting Appeal No.
576, approving VA 77-11 and overruling the Planning Commission
denial of the Variance, on motion of Councilman Brandt, seconded
by Councilman Ortiz, and carried 4:1, with Councilman Ward
dissenting. CA 13.3
