Policies:
Land Use: Districts
GOAL 4
Azusa will have a thriving and well balanced business sector located within three pedestrian
oriented districts that provide dining, retail, office, and entertainment experiences, and one
industrial/technology district that provides "tech -driven" manufacturing, warehousing, and
other industrial uses along with supporting commercial uses.

construction of new commercial stores, which will help to revitalize the Downtown District.
Land Use: Commercial and Mixed Use
0
GOAL 5
Allow for and encourage the intensification of commercial uses in the corridors and in. the
districts to provide economic stability and to provide residents with essential goods and services.
The acquisition of the Subject Property will create opportunities for the intensification of
commercial uses in the Downtown which will be achieved through the application of the
Development Code standards, which reduce the amount of parking, and minimize setbacks.
Future uses under the project will include essential retail services.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND POLICIES
GOAL 1
Build and maintain a strong, diverse economy in Azusa.
The acquisition of the Subject Property will allow opportunities for new and diverse businesses
to move to the City under the proposed project. The new businesses will further the City's
diverse economy while simultaneously strengthening the economy through job and tax growth.
Create a diverse and balanced revenue base with long-term value, avoiding excess reliance on a
single revenue source.
The acquisition of the Subject Property will allow for a project that will bring in a diverse and
balanced revenue base through the creation of multiple retail and professional businesses. The
proposed project does not rely on a single large revenue source — i.e. a big box anchor tenant.
GOAL 10
Strengthen the retail and commercial base.
The acquisition of the Subject Property will strengthen the retail and commercial base of the City
through the purchase of the 3,500 square foot site and creation of approximately 2.40 acres of
retail space.
GOAL 11
Create a unique place with high quality of life for all its residents.
The acquisition of the Subject Property will allow for a project with an urban commercial design
that promotes the quality of life of residents. The proposed project will make the Downtown
Town Center a unique place by including a specialized business component.
SECTION 4. CEQA. Per Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental
Quality Act guidelines, the proposed sale is exempt from CEQA since this transaction is a mere
transfer of the property from one entity to another, and will not have a significant effect on the
environment.
