THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. This interim urgency ordinance is adopted pursuant to Section 65858
of the California Government Code.
SECTION 2. The City of Azusa shall not issue or approve any building permit,
conditional use permit, variance, precise plan of design or other land use entitlement
for any residential development or land use for real property adjacent to Azusa Greens
Golf Course during the time that this interim ordinance is in effect.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares that this interim
urgency ordinance adopted pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858
is necessary because:
A. The construction of new residential units on real property adjacent to the
Azusa Greens Golf Course presents an immediate threat to the public welfare
in that the City has over the last year received an increasing number of
complaints from homeowners living adjacent to the Golf Course because of
golf balls causing damage to personal and real property, and the potential
dangers to people. The City has commenced an internal land -use study
concerning the suitability of residential development adjacent to the Golf
Course. Additional residential development in this area may exacerbate the
existing problems which have not been completely solved by constructing nets
around the Golf Course. The City must prohibit such development while staff
completes its land use studies.
B. The approval of land use entitlements for new residential development
adjacent to the Golf Course would result in a threat to public welfare in that
the City has not yet identified methods to prevent golfball problems in this
area.. To allow the approval of land use entitlements at this time while City
staff is conducting studies could result in inconsistent land use patterns and
policies which would be harmful to the public welfare.

interim urgency ordinance pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858.
