LEGG AND ASSOCIATES) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Azusa does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. An application was duly filed by E.T. Legg and Associates ("applicant") for a Precise Plan of Design for the construction of a 44,730 square foot industrial complex on property located at 203 North Aspan Avenue, City of Azusa. B. A duly noticed public hearing on the application for the Precise Plan of Design P-88-35 was held by the Planning Commission of the City of Azusa on April 6, 1988, and after considering all of the evidence submitted on the application, the Planning Commission approved the Precise Plan by Resolution No. 2558. C. On April 18, 1988, a timely appeal of the Planning Commission's action was filed by the Community Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") of the City of Azusa to appeal the approval of Precise Plan of Design No. P-88-35. D. On May 16, 1988, the City Council of the City of Azusa held a duly noticed public hearing on the appeal of Precise Plan of Design No. P-88-35, at which time the Agency, the applicant, and all others were given the opportunity to speak on the proposed action and all written and documentary evidence was received by the Council. E. In taking this action, the City Council has considered the effects of the decision on the housing needs of the region in which the City is located and balanced those needs against the public service needs of the City residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. SECTION 2. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at the public hearing, the City Council specifically finds that: A. The proposed industrial complex is located within the West End Redevelopment Project Area. It consists of two, large multi -tenant industrial buildings with parking provided between the buildings and at the northern end of the parcel. The Redevelopment Agency staff supported the Planning Department's recommendation to deny Precise Plan P-88-35 due to confusing and 0 0 inefficient interior circulation, inadequate interior landscaping, inadequate separation of pedestrians and vehicles, and unattractive facades and overall aesthetics. B. The applicant revised the Precise Plan before submittal at the Planning Commission public hearing held on April 6, 1988. The Planning Commission approved Precise Plan of Design P-88-35 as revised. As revised, the Precise Plan still contained problems relating to circulation, traffic separation and exterior design issues. The proposed project met minimum code requirements but represented substandard development. C. The Redevelopment Agency staff has met with the applicant to review the Precise Plan of Design. Several revisions were made to address circulation, safety, and landscaping concerns. In order to permit the project to be constructed as proposed, the Agency has indicated that a Conforming Owner Agreement will be prepared to permit a reduction in the building setback requirement of the M-1 Zone. D. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, a Negative Declaration has been prepared and reviewed, finding that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment, and is hereby approved and adopted by the City Council. E. In accordance with Section 19.56.050 of the Azusa Municipal Code, the project would not substantially depreciate property values in the vicinity and would not unreasonably interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in the vicinity by the occupants thereof, and would not adversely affect the public peace, health, safety or general welfare to a degree greater than that generally permitted in said Municipal Code, provided the conditions of approval are adhered to. SECTION 3. Based on the findings set forth in Section 2 of this Resolution, the City Council of the City of Azusa hereby grants the appeal filed by the Commmunity Redevelopment Agency and approves Precise Plan of Design P- 88-35 submitted by applicant E.T. Legg and Associates and as revised by the Agency and the applicant, subject to the conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit "A", and subject to the Agency's approval of a Conforming Owner Agreement with the applicant.
