LOCATED AT 619/621 N. AZUSA AVENUE
WHEREAS, on December 10, 2003, the Planning Commission of the City of Azusa
approved Precise Plan of Design P-2003-140, to refurbish an existing two-story, historic
mixed use building located at 619/621 N. Azusa Avenue; and
WHEREAS, on February 16, 2005, the Planning Commission of the City of Azusa,
held a public hearing and approved a revision of Precise Plan of Design P-2003-140, with
conditions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Azusa, has given notice thereof as
required by law, held a public hearing on an appeal of the approved revision of
Precise Plan of Design No. P-2003-140; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully considered all pertinent testimony and
the staff report offered in the case as presented at the public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the City Council's proceedings for an appeal of the Planning
Commission decision regarding the revised Precise Plan of Design were in compliance
with City Code Section 88-170(d).
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Azusa does hereby resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: Pursuant to Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality
Act, a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been previously approved by the City Council
on October 3, 2003 for the proposed project and since the proposed Precise Plan of
Design revision reduces the impact of the project, the project is categorically exempt
from further environmental review.
SECTION 2: That in accordance with Section 88-575 of the Azusa Municipal
Code, the City Council hereby approves revised Precise Plan of Design P-2003-140,
based on the following findings.
A. That the Precise Pian of Design is consistent with the Genial Pian.
Commercial Land Use Goal No. 3 of the General Plan encourages the
revitalization of the central downtown business district. The approval of this
application to refurbish an existing, historic mixed-use building, with a
restaurant/retail use and a residential component would implement this goal.

•
B. That the nature, condition, and development of the adjacent uses,
buildings, and structures have been considered, and the new construction
and use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures.
The uses directly adjacent to the subject property are a commercial building on
the northern property line and a vacant lot on the southern property line. A
twenty-five foot wide breezeway will be constructed on the southern property
to provide access from Azusa Avenue to the rear municipal parking lot. The
proposed refurbished building will enhance the area and the proposed new
uses will generate beneficial pedestrian traffic.
C. That the site is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the use,
buildings, yards, fences and walls, parking, landscaping, and other
development features proposed.
The proposed project was reviewed by the various City departments/divisions.
Standard conditions and requirements were submitted by the departments. The
project meets all of the applicable provisions of the Azusa Municipal Code to
accommodate the use, buildings, yards, fences and walls, landscaping, and
other development features proposed. The proposal includes a Major Variance
to allow a reduction in the required amount of parking spaces for the
restaurant/retail use and to allow a deletion of the residential parking
requirement. With the approval of the Major Variance, the new proposed use
would be accommodated.
D. That the Precise Plan of Design complies with all of the applicable
development standards of the zone district.
The proposal meets most of the applicable standards of the CBD district in
which it is located. Staff has analyzed each development standard and
prepared a Zoning Conformance Table to show compliance. This table has
been included as part of the Planning Commission staff report. With the
approval of the Major Variance for a reduction in the required number of
parking spaces for the restaurant/retail use and to allow a deletion of the
residential parking requirement, the refurbished building with new construction
would comply with the applicable standards of the CBD zone.
L That the site is adequately served by highways or streets of sufticlent width
and improved as necessary to accommodate the type of traffic associated
with the proposed Precise Plan of Design.
The existing roads, Azusa Avenue and Sixth Street can adequately serve the
proposed design and use.

impacts and/or mitigate them to a level of insignificance. Conditions of
approval have been included to observe the intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
