RESOLUTION NO. 266
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
APPROVING A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AT
1151 WEST ARROW HIGHWAY AS BEING CONSISTENT
WITH ANTICIPATED REDEVELOPMENT IN SAID AREA
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF
THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Board of Directors of the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Azusa does hereby find, determine and declare
that:
A. On August 5, 1985, the City Council of the
City of Azusa adopted Ordinance No. 2275 imposing
a land use moratorium on all properties within
the City of Azusa adjoining Arrow Highway "unless
the Redevelopment Agency approves such entitle-
ment by resolution upon a finding that it would
be consistent with anticipated redevelopment
in the area."
B. The applicant, Barry A. Cottle on behalf of
R.C. Hobbs Development Corporation/Century
American Development Corporation, has proposed to
build a 122 -unit apartment complex on the subject
property located at 1151 West Arrow Highway.
The proposal calls for the apartment complex to
be security -gated and to contain green belts,
open space, recreational areas and visual buffers
from adjacent parcels. The development further
calls for construction of carports and a density
of 26 units per acre.
C. On April 15, 1986, the Redevelopment Agency
had a joint meeting with the City Council of the City
of Azusa, and heard evidence presented in connec-
tion with the public hearing on the proposed
project.
SECTION 2. The Board of Directors of the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Azusa hereby approves the proposed project
for the subject property and hereby finds that such project will
be consistent with anticipated redevelopment in the area based
upon the following factors:
A. The intent of any future redevelopment project
area would be to promote a balance of development
in the Arrow Highway area.
B. The subject parcel is surrounded by residential
uses. Any other use would create an "island"
development.
C. The configuation of the subject parcel, being
somewhat deep and narrow for 4.6 acres, fairly
limits commercial development without some sort
of parcelization. Smaller parcels will most likely
create a piecemeal approach to redevelopment which
has been a major contributor to blighting influ-
ences along Arrow Highway.

D. A large, planned unit development of quality
construction and design is consistent with
development criteria established by the Agency
and City Council for other projects within the
City and current high industry standards for
such projects. Therefore, this project has the
ability to meet any future development criteria
for construction and design which would be
established by a new redevelopment project area.
SECTION 3. In taking this action, the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Azusa has reviewed and relied upon the
Environmental Impact Report prepared for the project by the City
of Azusa as the Lead Agency and, prior to approving this request,
carefully reviewed and considered the provisions thereof.
SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify the adoption
of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 5th day of
May 1986.
Chairman
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was
duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Azusa Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Azusa, at a regular meeting thereof held
on the 5th day of May , 1986.
