RESOLUTION NO. 6908
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA APPROVING A CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT (CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
CASE NO. C225 RICHARD A. LEWIS)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find
and determine that there was filed with the Planning
Commission the Application of Richard A. Lewis (Con-
ditional Use Permit Case No. C225) requesting a Con-
ditional Use Permit to allow a condominium development
(conversion of an existing apartment development)
within an R3 Zone on property located at 1130 East
Alosta Avenue; that a duly noticed public hearing was
held on said application by the Planning Commission and
that the Planning Commission denied the said Conditional
Use Permit; that the matter was appealed to the City
Council by the applicant and a duly noticed public hearing
was held by the City Council on said appeal; that during
said hearing testimony was presented by the applicant
and by other interested parties both in favor and in
opposition to the Conditional Use Permit Application and
various documents were presented by the Applicant and all
of said documents including the case file were received
in evidence; that the City Council made a preliminary
determination to deny said Application but thereafter the
Applicant requested and was granted a rehearing on said
Application; prior to and during said rehearing the
Applicant submitted various documents and items of corres-
pondence offering to have imposed additional conditions to
the approval of said Application and said additional
documents and correspondence were also received in evidence
in this proceeding.
SECTION 2. After due notice and public hearing
the City Council finds:
A. The subject property is located at 1130
East Alosta Avenue, Azusa and is zoned R3 (Multiple
Family Residential).
B. The applicant is seeking to establish a
condominium development by conversion of an existing
118 unit conventional apartment development which was
completed in 1978 and meets the requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance for apartment use.
C. The area is designated high density residential
(up to 28 dwelling units per acre) by the general plan. The
property to the east and west is similarly developed while
the property to the south (across Hollyvale Street) is
developed with a single family residential development. The
property to the north (across Alosta Avenue) is developed
with student housing for Azusa Pacific College.
D. The proposed development when compared with
the development standards for condominium developments as
0 0
set forth in Planning Commission Resolution No. 873 meets
those standards as to minimum floor area, building height
limits, minimum lot size, density, yards, distance between
buildings, usable open space, ground coverage, traffic and
circulation, fire protection, separation of walls, and
utilities.
E. Although the proposed development does not
meet the minimum condominium standards for parking, the
applicant has agreed to add 16 additional open parking
spaces to those originally provided. The development as
it presently exists has 177 garage spaces with 42 open
parking spaces for both guests and occupants. With the
addition of 16 open spaces it will have a total of 58
open spaces for guests and occupants which is one less than
the number required by the Planning Commission Resolution
for occupants. The total parking shortage would be 31 open
parking spaces since no guest parking spaces are provided
by the proposed development. The proposed development also
makes no provision for recreational vehicle parking.
In addition, the distance of garages and open parking spaces does
not conform to the requirement as set forth in the Planning
Commission Resolution. The parking provided consisting of
garages and open spaces together with available parking on
adjacent streets will be considered substantial compliance
with the parking requirement of the Planning Commission
Resolution.
F. The laundry facilities as set forth on the
original application provided for only 9 washers and 4
driers. Whereas the condominium standard as set forth in
the Planning Commission Resolution would require 24 washers
and 24 driers for 118 dwelling units. During the hearing
the applicant stated that a sufficient number of washers
and driers would be added to meet the condominium standard
requirement. The applicant has also agreed to meet the
laundry facilities requirement in its letters to the City
Council dated November 28, 1979 and December 31, 1979.
G. In a response to concerns expressed by the
City Council, the applicant by way of a letter dated
December 31, 1979, to the City Council offered to provide
an assistance program for tenants as set forth in said
letter which is attached hereto, marked Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by reference.
H. An assessment of the environmental impact has
been prepared which indicates that no adverse environmental
influences would result from the project.
SECTION 3. Based upon the evidence submitted in
the case including the additional correspondence from the
applicant Conditional Use Permit Case No. C225 is hereby
granted subject to the following conditions:
1. Applicant shall comply fully with all
conditions of Planning Commission Resolution No. 873
except that the parking to be provided by applicant shall
consist of 177 garage spaces and 58 open spaces for both
guests and occupants.

0 0
2. Applicant shall provide a tenant assistance
program for tenants who choose to relocate or purchase a
unit within the condominium development as set forth in
Applicant's letter to the City Council dated December 31,
1979, (Exhibit A to this Resolution).
3. The development as proposed shall comply with
appropriate sections of the Azusa Municipal Code.
4. A subdivision map shall be prepared in
accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act and the City
of Azusa Engineering Department requirements and properly
processed and recorded. Any and all conditions of the
approval of such a subdivision map are made a part hereof
and shall be met at all times.
5. Recreational vehicle parking is absolutely
prohibited unless an area is provided, screened from view
both on and off the property for recreational vehicle
storage. Any such vehicle storage area cannot include any
required off-street parking spaces or access thereto, nor
can it include any of the required usable open space.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the
adoption of this Resolution.

I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution

{ 2.
All items of our "Tenant Relocation Assistance and Purchase
Discounts" package shall apply, except as amended in the
points to follow.
3.
Upon vacation of the premises, a tenant relocation fee of $500.00
per apartment unit shall be paid to those tenants who wish to -
relocate.
4.
Tenants who wish to purchase their units shall be entitled to
a 5% discount in addition to the $500 noted above. Subject to
lender approval, this discount may be applied to the down payment.
5.
Tenants with a gross income of less than $18,000 annually, who
reserve their unit during the first 10 days of the 60 day right
of first refusal period, shall each receive a "Homeowner Purchase
Bonus" of $1,000 at the close of their escrows. This bonus can
assist the new homeowner in meeting the first year's mortgage
payments, prior to his ability to take advantage of income tax
benefits. (In this regard, note the advantages of ownership
versus renter status as outlined in the attached exhibit.)
6. Lewis will pay all Homeowners Association memebership fees
(estimated at $60.00 per unit per month) for a period of one
year after receipt of the Public Report from the California
Department of Real Estate. This will assure an ample management
and maintenance fund during this time, at no cost to purchasers.
This is another important item of financial assistance to
those who need help in the initial stages of home ownership.
7. Although no guarantees can be made, Lewis will make a deter-
mined effort to secure special financing (lower down payments
and below market rate loans) for lower income persons who can
qualify under established "affordable housing" guidelines of
pertinent federal, state, and local agencies.
As noted above, these additions to our program to change the ownership
structure of the present College Park Apartments are a direct result of,
and response to, your expressed concerns. Certainly, they should demon- _ ..
strate our own desire to work closely with you in a genuine spirit of
cooperation to provide affordable housing for the citizens of Azusa.
Therefore, we respectfully request the approval of our application, in
the firm belief that this action will be of significant and substantial
benefit to the City of Azusa.
Sincerely yours, �

Azusa City Hall
213 East Foothill Boulevard
Azusa, California 91702
Gentlemen:
We wish to express our most genuine appreciation for your decision
to reconsider our application for the transformation of College Park
Apartments into home ownership units.
In our view, this is a positive step in moving toward the provision
of critically needed affordable ownership housing in your community,
without any appreciable effect upon your rental market, and no
impact whatever upon lower income rental units.
As you know, we have already met 21 of the 23 conditions set forth
by your Planning Staff and have agreed to meet the requirement in
regard to additional laundry facilities. We have also agreed to
increase the parking area as noted in our letter of November 28, 1979,
and as shown in the attached site plan.
In response to some of the concerns expressed and questions raised by
your Council, we have expanded our assistance program for tenants who
either choose to relocate or purchase a unit.
Here, then, is our proposal, should the Council reconsider and approve
our application:
1. The following price schedule shall be guaranteed for 1 year
subsequent to said approval and, during the ensuing 6 months,
shall not increase by more than 6%.
