Pomona council schedules Fairplex appeal hearing

City Council members approved conducting an appeal hearing on Dec. 6 involving a project that calls for converting 20 barn and stable buildings at Fairplex into a business park and a self-storage facility.

Members of the city's Planning Commission in October granted permission to Fairplex officials to carry out the project but added a condition limiting how much space can be used for warehousing purposes by a tenant.

Fairplex officials seek to lift the 50 percent limit set by the Planning Commission.

Representatives of a nearby self-storage facility in La Verne also filed an appeal saying additional information is needed about the Fairplex project.

The hearing will take place during the Dec. 6 City Council meeting. The closed portion of the meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. and the open portion begins at 6:45 p.m. in City Hall, 505. S Garey Ave.
