SECTION 1. Denial of Application. The City Council of the City of Azusa
hereby denies the Application and makes the following findings in support of the denial in
accordance with Section 82-71:
A. The Application is not in the form and does not contain the
information required to be contained by the Azusa Municipal Code.
The vehicle registration information provided by the applicant reveals
that additional corporate entities are involved in the ownership of
the company. The lack of this information does not comply with
Section 82-67(1). Further, the certificate of insurance submitted with
the application has expired. A valid insurance certificate is a
prerequisite for issuance pursuant to Section 82-69.

B. There are already a sufficient number of taxicabs and other
automobiles for hire operating in the City and the granting of an
additional certificate would unduly congest traffic and interfere with
the free use of the public streets. Complaints were received during
the public hearing and at other times from the residents that taxicabs
congregate and park in residential neighborhoods. Approval of an
additional taxicab operator would exacerbate that problem. Further,
there was no evidence was presented to conclude that the citizens
of Azusa are being provided with inadequate taxicab services.
SECTION 3. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon its
adoption.
, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 3rd day of February 2003.
