A. The proposed amendment is in the public interest, and there will be a community
benefit resulting from the amendment. The Subject Property is an 3.46 acre
developed R 1,7500 zoned site surrounded by a residential and commercial uses. The
amendment on the General Plan land designation will accommodate an additional
compatible use within the area. The development of the site pursuant to the
standards and guidelines of the Restricted Commercial Zone will help to solidify this
segment of the Foothill Boulevard corridor.
B. The proposed general plan amendment is consistent with the other goals, policies,
and objectives in the general plan. Overall, the proposal meets the General Plan's
Commercial Land Use Goals which include an economically strong and balanced
commercial sector, and to promote the development of commercial facilities which
are convenient to residents and provide the widest possible selection of goods and
services [Azusa General Plan, Commercial Land Use Goals #1 & #2, page III -4].
C. The proposed general plan amendment will not conflict with provisions of the zoning
ordinance, subdivision regulations, or any applicable specific plan. A zone change
and variance to allow tandem parking have been submitted with this request and are
being considered simultaneously.
D. This amendment to the Land Use Policy Map will not adversely affect surrounding
properties. The project is being developed to complement the use of the property to
the east as a location for weddings. In addition, the use of the project is less intense
than the other surrounding uses, and consequently will have no adverse effects on
these uses.
