DENYING THE APPLICATION OF WESTERN ASH COMPANY,
INC., FOR USE OF CERTAIN PROPERTY WITHIN THE

A FLY -ASH DISTRIBUTION CENTER.
WHEREAS, Section 331 of the Redevelopment Plan of
the Azusa West End Redevelopment Project (hereinafter "Redevelopment

in the Project Area shall be subject to the controls and
requirements of the Redevelopment Plan and that no real

with the approval of the Agency and in conformance with the
provisisions of the Plan; and
WHEREAS, Section 333 of the Redevelopment Plan and
other applicable law provide that no use or structure shall be
permitted in any part of the Project Area which would be incom-
patible with the surrounding areas, structures or uses because
of appearance, traffic, smoke, glare, noise, odor or similar
factors; and
WHEREAS, Western Ash Company as the lessee and Calmat,
Inc.as the lessor have applied to the Agency for approval to
use certain property located within the Azusa West End Redevelop-
ment Project generally located on the southwest corner of
Tenth Street and Todd Avenue, and more particularly described
on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference (hereinafter "Subject Property") as a fly -ash distri-
bution facility;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE AZUSA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Board of Directors of the Azusa
Redevelopment Agency hereby finds, determines and declares that:
A. The proposed use of a fly -ash facility is not
compatible with the heavy industrial usage
sought by the Redevelopment Plan in Section 314
in that the facility would only have two or three
employees present which is inconsistent with the
plans and purpose of eliminating social and
economic blight by developing labor intensive
industries in the area be they of heavy
industrial or light industrial character;
B. The use of the Subject Property as a fly -ash
distribution facility is incompatible with the
surrounding areas and uses because of appearance,
traffic, noise, odor and similar factors in that
the facility will most likely generate sub-
stantial amounts of dust and other particulate
matter, heavy truck traffic, and the appearance
of a dirty and sooty facility. This would
adversely affect the Agency's ability to attract
the labor intensive industries that the
Redevelopment Plan contemplates for this area;
0
C. The problems with the use as proposed cannot
be alleviated by conditioning the project.
SECTION 2. The Board of Directors of the Azusa
Redevelopment Agency based upon the findings set forth in
Section 1 of this resolution hereby denies the application
of Western Ash Company, Inc., and Calmat for use of the Subject
Property as a fly -ash distribution center.
SECTION 3. The Secretary shall certify the adoption
of this resolution.
