A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BALDWIN PARK DENYING A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A
PROCESSING CENTER FOR RECYCLABLES
APPLICANT: WASTE MANAGEMENT OF
POMONA/SAN GABRIEL VALLEY; LOCATION:
5170 COMMERCE DRIVE, BALDWIN PARK,
CALIFORNIA 91706 CASE NO.: CP-505).
WHEREAS, an application for a conditional use permit was
submitted on behalf of the owner of certain real property,
located at 5170 Commerce Drive, in the City of Baldwin Park,
described more particularly in the application on file with
the City Planner; and
WHEREAS, the application was to allow a processing
center for recyclables within the Industrial Zone; and
WHEREAS, on August 28, 1991, the Planning Commission
held a duly noticed public hearing on and voted to approve
the application; and
WHEREAS, Baldwin Industries properties, Ltd. filed a
timely appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to the
City Council; and
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held on said
application and appeal by the City Council on October 2,
1991.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN
PARK DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS.
Based upon the evidence presented, including applicable
staff reports and each member of the City Council being
familiar with the property, it is hereby determined that the
applicant has failed to show, to the reasonable satisfaction
of the City Council, that the proposed project will not have
an adverse affect upon uses adjacent to the subject property
in that:
1) Adjacent properties have been transformed from
abandoned junk yards, abandoned truck repair
facilities, and from dumping grounds for
refuse and trash into commercial and
industrial warehouse-type buildings with
tenants such as Alcoa, Bell & Howell, Federal
Express, Gerber, TRW, Taylor Corp., and Home
Savings of America. Many of these tenants
face Commerce Drive. The proposed use would
allow close to 50 daily refuse truck trips via
Commerce Drive to the facility, where refuse
and trash would be dumped, sorted, compacted
and baled into various categories, and then
shipped in refuse trucks to recycling
facilities and dumps. Such a use with the
concomitant presence of refuse trucks along
Commerce Drive would be inconsistent with the
adjacent high-quality industrial park in terms
of noise, traffic, aesthetics and image.

2) Although the proposed use is technically in
conformance with the Land Use Element of the
General Plan, it is not otherwise consistent
with the General Plan in that it does not
serve the public health, safety, or welfare to
approve a use which will have a negative and
adverse impact on the light industrial uses in
the area and upon the high-quality industrial
park development known as Baldwin Commerce
Center.
SECTION 2: DENIAL OF PERMIT.
Conditional Use Permit CP-505 is therefore denied
without prejudice. Because of this denial, the City Council
makes no determination with regard to the negative
declaration for this project other than to disapprove the
conclusions therein that there are minimal potential adverse
impacts from the proposed use on adjacent properties.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution and shall forward a copy hereof to the
Secretary of the Planning Commission and to the applicant.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 2nd day of October,
1991.
