AREA MERGER AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of
Azusa have reviewed and considered the Draft Environmental
Impact Report prepared on the Central Business District
Redevelopment Project Area and West End Redevelopment
Project Area Merger; and
WHEREAS, the Azusa Redevelopment Agency (the
"Agency") has reviewed and considered the Final
Environmental Impact Report ("Final Environmental Impact
Report") for the Central Business District Redevelopment
Project Area and West End Redevelopment Project Area Merger
(the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to notice duly given, the Agency
and the City Council of the City of Azusa have held a full
and fair public hearing on the Redevelopment Plans for the
Project Areas proposed to be merged and the Final
Environmental Impact Report prepared thereon.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE AZUSA
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. A full and fair public hearing having
been held on the Draft Environmental Impact Report on the
Central Business District Redevelopment Project Area and
West End Redevelopment Project Area Merger and the Agency
having considered all comments received thereon, which
comments and responses thereto are contained in the Final
Environmental Impact Report, said Final Environmental Impact
Report is hereby approved and adopted as the Final
Environmental Impact Report for the Central Business
District Redevelopment Project Area and West End
Redevelopment Project Area Merger.
SECTION 2. The Agency hereby certifies that the
Final Environmental Impact Report for the adoption of the
Merger as determined herein has been completed in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970
("CEQA") and the state and local environmental guidelines
and regulations, and that it has reviewed and considered the
Final Environmental Impact Report and the information
contained therein in connection with the proposed Merger.
SECTION 3. The Agency hereby finds with respect to
the adverse environmental impacts detailed in the Final
Environmental Impact Report:
(a) That the adverse environmental impacts
associated with the merger of the respective
Redevelopment Plans for the redevelopment
project areas proposed to be merged have been
considered and recognized by the Agency.
FJN/RES0305 • •
(b) That comments and responses made during the
public hearing of the Agency and City Council
have been considered and recognized by the
Agency and will be incorporated into the Final
Environmental Impact Report.
(c) That based on the information set forth in the
Final Environmental Impact Report, the Agency
finds and determines that measures to mitigate
certain impacts related to geology and soil,
air quality, drainage, vegetation and
wildlife, noise, light and glare, land use,
population and housing, traffic, public
services, energy, utilities and cultural
resources exist and are included in the Final
Environmental Impact Report.
(d) That as to certain adverse impacts associated
with traffic and circulation, energy consump-
tion and noise levels, the Agency finds and
determines that specific economic, social and
other considerations as documented in the
Preliminary Report for the Central Business
District Redevelopment Project Area and West
End Redevelopment Project Area Merger, make
infeasible the project alternatives identified
in the Final Environmental Impact Report
(Draft Environmental Impact Report Section
7.0).
SECTION 4. The Agency hereby finds and determines
that all potential impacts on the environment cannot be
entirely or feasibly eliminated. The Agency hereby finds
that the beneficial economic and social effects of the
Project override such potential adverse impacts.
SECTION 5. The Agency hereby finds and determines
that measures have been incorporated into the amended
Redevelopment Plans which will mitigate or avoid any
significant environmental effects thereof that can feasibly
be mitigated or avoided.
SECTION 6. Since the preparation and certification
of the Environmental Impact Reports for the Central Business
District Redevelopment Plan and the West End Redevelopment
Plan, subsequent changes have not been proposed in either
Project Area, nor will substantial changes occur with
respect to the circumstances under which the Project is
undertaken, which will require important revisions of the
previous Environment Impact Reports, due to the involvement
of new significant environmental impacts which were not
considered in the previous Environmental Impact Reports.
Therefore, pursuant to the provisions of CEQA and,
specifically, 14 California Administrative Code Sections
15162 and 15180, a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report is
not required and the previous Environmental Impact Reports
are adequate and sufficient to comply with the requirements
of CEQA.
SECTION 7. The Executive Director of the Agency, in
cooperation with the City Clerk of the City of Azusa, is
hereby authorized and directed to file with the County Clerk
-2-
FJN/RES0305
Ll

pursuant to 14 California Administrative Code Section
15085(h).
SECTION 8. This resolution shall take effect
immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 24thday of
October 1988.
EucVne F. Moses, Chairman
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was
