The basic objectives of the plan are to arrest the decline and decay throughout the areas proposed to be added to the original Project Area, as previously amended, through restoration and revitalization of the areas to viable and active uses servicing the needs of the community and region. A report will be prepared outlining the conditions deterring their planned growth and preventing the areas proposed to be added from reaching their full potential. It will explore the ways to protect and enhance the environment and will focus on means to redevelop stagnating areas in such a way as to stimulate and attract private investment, thereby improving the City's economic health, employment opportunities and tax base.

This Preliminary Plan only addresses those areas to be added to the Project Area and does not affect the previously prepared Preliminary Plans for the Redevelopment Plan, the First Amendment, or the Second Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan.

B. sa��es C• Landscaped public ways; drainage control devices; and other types of public facilities. V_ GENE&BLCsabTLtlEt�a�QEaEERERSEu�LBXRDT�RE�EEaA]CaEBL�sTBEEas As a basis for the redevelopment of the areas added to the Project Area, it is proposed that, in general, the layout of principal streets and those that will be developed in the various project areas be as shown on the Project Area Map and the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan. Existing streets within the areas added to the Project Area may be closed, widened or otherwise modified, and additional streets may be created as necessary for proper pedestrian and/or vehicular circulation. Vi. GETJEi�BL�saBTEF]Et�T�RE�EBRERSEB�EREULBadR�J�BE�VsdadEs Residential uses are proposed in the areas to be added to the Project Area. Densities will range from medium -density (0-6 families per acre) to medium -density (up to 15 per acre). VII_ GEL�ERBL�saBaEMEt�aLR€_TEE_ERRERSEBzEudLRdNGadL�aE1�SdTdEs As a basis for the redevelopment of the Project Area, it is proposed that, in general, the building intensity be controlled by limits on: (1) the percentage of ground area covered by buildings (land coverage); (2) the ratio of the total floor area for all stories of the buildings to areas of the building sites (floor area ratio); (3) the size and location of the buildable areas on building sites; and (4) the heights of buildings. The land coverage, sizes, and location of buildable areas should be limited to provide adequate open space. E L] VIII. &ISE$BLLS�B�EM��3B_LtE��EE�&80E4EE8��va�aa��4saa�� It is proposed that, in general, the building standards should conform to t)Ye building requirements of applicable State statutes and local codes and ordinances of the City of Azusa. IX. The purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law would be attained by the proposed redevelopment through a program of rehabilitation or removal of structures which are substandard and/or physically and economically obsolete, to encourage continued investment for a modern integrated development with improved pedestrian/vehicular circulation. Parcels not being used to their fullest potential have hindered effective redevelopment, resulting in a stagnant and unproductive condition of land, potentially useful and valuable for contributing to the public health, safety and welfare. During the redevelopment process, public participation shall be an integral part of the planning and implementation process, especially owners (which includes business tenants) of all or part of real property within the Project shall be encouraged to participate in the development and/or redevelopment of their property and reasonable preferences shall be extended to persons residing in or engaged in business in the redevelopment area to re-enter in housing or business according to the requirements of the Redevelopment law. A report will be prepared outlining benefits which will accrue to all of the inhabitants and property owners within the Project Area as well as to the residents and taxpayers of the City at large if the proposed Project Area is redeveloped. Whenever the redevelopment of blighted areas cannot reasonably be expected to be cured or eliminated by private enterprise acting alone, the proposed amended plan, would provide for the comprehensive planning, clearance, redesign, replanning, development, reconstruction or rehabilitation of the area and would facilitate a higher and better utilization of the lands within the Project Area thereby contributing to the public health, safety and welfare. X. EQIVFQ$M�NEE�QE�a9��ENF.L�L_�LF?TJ�QE�FiE_�a�X This Preliminary Plan conforms to the General Plan of the City. The Preliminary Plan proposes a similar pattern of land uses and includes all highways and public facilities indicated by the General Plan. Xi- The impact of the project upon residents of the area added to the Project Area and surrounding neighborhood will, in general, be in the areas of traffic circulation, public facilities and services, environmental quality, employment opportunities and economic development. Agency activities in the area added to the Project Area may include property acquisition by negotiated purchase or condemnation, relocation of occupants, demolition of structures, construction of public improvements and land disposition for private development. zi=101=LVA=10101=J►vil=4►liAni -Ti LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR ADDED AREA NO. 17 OF THE AZUSA CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, AMENDMENT THREE That portion of Rancho Azusa De Dalton bounded by Lots 72, 73, 74 and 75 of Subdivision No. 2, Azusa Land and Water Company as per map recorded in Book 43, Page 94 of Miscellaneous Records, in the Office of the County Recorder of the County of Los Angeles.
