RESOLUTION NO. 7499
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA OPPOSING THE LANTERMAN-PETRIS-
SHORT ACT.
WHEREAS, the continued existence of communities,
autonomous and independent, dedicated to serving their residents'
needs is steadily being eroded through constant and unrelenting
encroachment by megalopolitan forces, and
WHEREAS, one current item of State Legislation, the
Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, which permits homes for the developmentally
disabled consisting of six or less patients in any residential zone,
with or without city approval, effectively negates any local voice
or judgment in the matter, and
WHEREAS, the transition of power to act from a local
level to a blindly amorphous anonymous giant scale can lead only
to further personal alienation and estrangement, as well as numbing
feelings of inability to deal with local affairs;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, unites in
expressing its strong opposition to this onerous law, the
Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, which is so effective in its outcome
of further removing yet another area of local control over
community matters.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 18th day of June, 1984.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was
duly adopted by the City Council of the City of Azusa at a regular
