endure well into the future.)

III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
8.a&b Project is a request to change zoning of two
parcels from Rlc (Single -Family Residential) to R2
(Two -Family Residential), with a concurrent
amendment in the Land Use Designation within the
Land Use Element of the Azusa General Plan from
Low -Density Residential to Medium Density
Residential.
11.&12. One parcel is developed with a single-family
residence, while the other is developed with a two-
family residence. Rezoning would allow
construction of one more dwelling unit on the
former parcel, but no additional dweling units on
the latter parcel.
