Pomona Council will hold hearing on business

Pomona City Council members will conduct a public hearing Monday evening involving the modification, suspension or revocation of a downtown business's conditional-use permit.

The hearing involves Angelo's Pizzeria, which is in the 100 block of East Second Street in the city's downtown.

Representatives of the city have been working with property owner Jason Abboud to address various concerns, according to a staff report.

Of concern are issues such as a rise in requests for police service after the business was granted a liquor license.

The city also has concerns tied to large numbers of people gathering at the business and reports that scantily dressed go-go dancers have performed at the establishment

Abboud has denied these activities have taken place.

City administrators are recommending a series of changes to address concerns.

Council members are expected to hold the public hearing and then vote on a proposal to make modifications to the establishment's conditional-use permit, according to a staff report.

The hearing will be during the open portion of the council meeting at 7 p.m.
