KVF e C. After public hearing and in consideration of all the oral testimony and written evidence presented at said public hearings , the City Council finds that : 1 . There is in effect a duly adopted General Plan for the City of Azusa which contains a Land Use Element designating all property within the City for certain land uses . 2 . The Arrow Highway property is located at 1171 West Arrow Highway, and legally described as : A portion of Section 3 , T15 RlOW, and as shown on a map on file with the Planning Commission. 3 . The San Gabriel Canyon property is located at 1901 North San Gabriel Canyon Road, and legally described as : Those portions of Lots 61 , 62, 74, and 75 of Subdivision #2 of Azusa Land & Water Company, in the City of Azusa, County of Los Angeles , State of California, as per Map recorded in Book 43 , Pg . 94 , of Miscellaneous Records in the Office of the County Recorder of said County and as shown on a Map on file with the Planning Commission . 4 .

The adoption of an amendment changing the land use designation of the Arrow Highway property from Medium Density Residen- tial to General Commercial is in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare of the City and is consistent with good zoning and planning practices . The General Commer- cial Land Use designation requested is more appropriate for the development of this small parcel than a residential designation, due to its proximity to other nonresidential areas and its location on busy Arrow Highway . The change in land use designation of the subject property would be consistent with the principles of providing for orderly develop- ment contained in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. 6 . The adoption of an amendment changing the land use designation of the San Gabriel Canyon property from General Commer- cial to Medium Density Residential is in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare of the City and is consistent with good zoning and planning practices .

The proposed residential use of the property appears to be compatible with the surrounding FJN/RES3761 land uses . The moderate density would insure that the area is not overdeveloped or cause unnecessary impacts on the vicinity . Mayor Moses and Councilmember Latta abstain from participating in the vote to amend the land use designation of the San Gabriel Canyon property due to a conflict of interest . 7 . The adoption of an amendment changing the land use designation of the North Angeleno Avenue property from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential is in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare of the City and is consistent with good zoning and planning practices . The proposed residential designation is compatible with surrounding land uses .
