The relocation will be back on to the site that they originally occupied prior to the development of the Baldwin Park Towne Center. He also explained how the Towne Center will be developed and how Haas Liquor Store will fit into the development. Staff felt that the site is developed in such a way that the proposed use should not adversely impact adjacent uses. Staff also felt that the concerns of the adjacent property owners should be reasonably placated and recommended that the Council approve the appelant's request and monitor the situation for one year. If at the end of the year there is substantial evidence such as police reports and registered complaints from other residents that the conditional use permit could be revoked at that time. Mayor King declared the Public Hearing open on CP-458 and invited those wishing to speak on that subject to come forward. Max Thurman, 2520 Havenbrook, West Covina, stated that the liquor store was too close to residential property and that he was against it.
