A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA,
CALIFORNIA, ENDORSING THE SACRAMENTO REGIONAL SMART
GROWTH ACT OF 2002 (AB 680)
WHEREAS, City of Azusa supports AB680's goals of curbing the fiscalization of
land use and promoting smart growth; and
WHEREAS, the City has been aggressive in ensuring that its land use plans and
development are consistent with good growth, promoting a strong livable community,
sustainable over the long term; and
WHEREAS, the City makes a conscious effort to build its fair share of the regions's
affordable housing and provides its fair share of the region's social services; and
WHEREAS, under the current system of sales tax distribution, the City is below the
regional per capita sales tax average, largely because the City has refused to chase sales
tax dollars by building excessive big box retail developments; and
WHEREAS, the current system of sales tax distribution does not provide incentives
for jurisdictions that want to do plan smart and in a balanced manner; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that with upwards of one million new residents
projected for the Sacramento region during the next twenty years, AB680's goals will be
essential in curbing urban sprawl, traffic congestion and poor air quality; and
WHEREAS, the bill provides incentives to implement smart growth policies through
the "regional need" portion of the sales tax increment redistribution and through the
availability of Caltrans' administered project funding opportunities; and
WHEREAS, the City appreciates the open and collaborative manner with which
Assemblymember Steinberg has engaged local agencies in the region as part of the bill's
development, and wishes to thank Assemblymember Steinberg for his efforts;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDERED that the City Council of the
City of Azusa declares as follows:
The City of Azusa supports the Sacramento Regional Smart Growth Act of 2002
(AB680).
The City Clerk shall certify the passage and adoption of this Resolution and enter
