PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING CONVENED AT 7:00 P.M.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
Commissioner Van Gelder said originally there was to be no parking on
Britton Way, and now there is a lot of parking there. The Associate Planner
said that she believed that further up there is to be no parking, but staff
would check into this.
Commissioner Van Gelder said that she went to the hair salon at the Towne
and Country Center, and whoever owns the facility was in the process of
telling the employees that they had to park either on the street or behind the
facility. The Associate Planner said that they were doing this as a means of
helping the parking. Commissioner Van Gelder said she doesn't like the idea
of parking on the street. She said that the new facility on the corner has a
neon sign that says "Bud Light" in the front window. The Associate Planner
said that they are allowed to have neon lights, up to 25% of total window
coverage. The Associate Planner said staff can make a suggestion to the
tenant, as he has been working very well with staff. Chairman Buchanan
suggested mentioning to the tenant that a neon "Bud Light" sign is
contradictory to the representation made about a gourmet, higher -end nature
of the facility.
Commissioner Van Gelder said the second, smaller sign of the two signs was
supposed to have been much farther west on the property, and now it is just
on the other side of the entryway. She said that the Planning Director
explained this was due to the slope of the land.
The Associate Planner cautioned the Commission not to make this into a
workshop as one was not advertised.
Commissioner Munson mentioned the U-Haul trucks on Barton Road. The
Associate Planner said that code enforcement is already being started on this
issue.
Commissioner Munson said that the City of Pomona has an ordinance that
prevents parking any vehicle except on a prepared parking surface. The
Associate Planner said that staff handles this through the Nuisance Abatement
Ordinance.
Commissioner Munson asked about the truck and burnt R.V. on Canal Street
in the middle of a vacant lot. The Associate Planner said that staff is going
through the City Attorney on this issue.

present at that meeting and can not vote to approve the minutes. Chairman
Buchanan said that the City Attorney said there is no problem approving
minutes whether the commissioners were present at the meeting or not. The
Associate Planner said it would be a case of absences, and it would be
different if they were abstaining. Chairman Buchanan said that as long as
they have a quorum, and as long as they have a majority vote in favor, it is
sufficient.
