A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
ORDERING THE VACATION OF A PORTION OF ALAMEDA AVENUE
IN THE CITY OF AZUSA
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Azusa, on the 17th day of February, 2015,
adopted Resolution No. 2015-C9, declaring its intention to vacate a portion of Alameda Avenue
in the City of Azusa as described in Exhibits "A" and `B", attached hereto and made a part

WHEREAS, notices of said vacation have been posted in the time, form, and manner

WHEREAS, a public hearing on the matter was held on the 6`h day of April, 2015.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That-' the City Council orders the said vacation as described in the
following legal description:
BEING A PORTION OF ALAMEDA AVENUE (100 FEET WIDE) AS SHOWN ON MAP OF
AZUSA, IN THE CITY OF AZUSA, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 15, PAGES 93 THROUGH 96,

OF SAID BLOCK 19 AND ITS SOUTHERLY PROLONGATION TO THE NORTHERLY

CONVEYED BY DEED TO THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RAILWAY COMPANY,
RECORDED IN BOOK 634, PAGE 181 OF DEEDS.
BOUNDED ON THE SOUTH BY THE NORTH LINE OF THE LAND REFERRED TO AS
RIGHT-OF-WAY AND DEPOT GROUNDS CONVEYED BY DEED TO THE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA RAILWAY COMPANY, RECORDED IN BOOK 634, PAGE 181 OI' DEEDS.
CONTAINING 24,980 SQUARE FEET MORE OR LESS.
SECTION 2. The California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") (Public Resources
Code § 21000 et seq.) and the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA ("State CEQA
Guidelines") (California Code of Regulations, title 14, § 15000 et seq.) expressly encourage
public agencies to reduce delay and paperwork associated with the implementation of CEQA by
using previously prepared environmental documents when those previously prepared documents
adequately address the potential impacts of the proposed project. (State CEQA Guidelines §
15006.) In furtherance of the foregoing policy, CEQA provides that if an EIR has been prepared
for a project, additional environmental review shall not be required for subsequent actions taken
in connection with the project unless the public agency determines that the subsequent actions
would require major revisions to the EIR because of new circumstances or new information that
reveal new or different environmental impacts, mitigation measures, or other information of
substantial importance. (Pub. Res. Code § 21166; State CEQA Guidelines § 15162.)
On July 15, 2013, the City Council certified a Final Environmental Impact Report ("Final EIR")
for the Azusa Intermodal Transit Facility [State Clearinghouse # 201111044] (the "Project") and
a notice of determination was filed with the State Clearinghouse on August 1, 2013. The City
Council has been provided copies of the Final EIR, Environmental Findings, and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted in connection with the Final EIR, and the foregoing
documents are on file with and available for inspection during regular business hours at the
Office of the City Clerk located at 213 E. Foothill Blvd., Azusa, CA 91702.
As reflected in the Final EIR, the City is the Lead Agency for purposes of the Project because the
City has the primary responsibility for carrying out the Project. (State CEQA Guidelines §
15367.) The Final EIR explained that the proposed parking structure would extend into one lane
of parking and traffic on the west side of Alameda Avenue. Alameda Avenue would be
reconfigured to accommodate the bus ways and pedestrian circulation. In addition, traffic would
be one way in the north direction on Alameda Avenue, requiring a portion of Alameda Avenue
to be vacated. Therefore, the vacation of a portion of Alameda Avenue was part of the Project
evaluated in the Final EIR. In addition, the City's approval of the street vacation is directly
related to and is an action undertaken in furtherance of the Project evaluated in the Final
EIR. The City's approval of the street vacation does not present a substantial change from or new
information pertinent to the Project evaluated in the Final EIR. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA and
the State CEQA Guidelines, no subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report or other
CEQA document shall be required by the lead agency. (Pub. Res. Code § 21166; State CEQA
Guidelines § 15162.)
Based on the Final EIR, Environmental Findings, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program,
and all related information presented to the City Council, the City Council finds that the
preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR or any other CEQA document is not required
because vacating a portion of Alameda Avenue:
(1) does not constitute substantial changes to the Project that will require major revisions
of the Final FIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) does not constitute substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which
the Project is administered that will require major revisions of the Final EIR due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and
(3) does not contain new information of substantial importance that was not known and
could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the
Final EIR was certified, that shows any of the following: (a) the modification will
have one or more significant effects not discussed in the Final EIR; (b) significant
effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the Final
EIR; (c) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would
in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of
the Project, but the City Council declined to adopt such measures; or (d) mitigation
measures or alternatives considerably different from those analyzed in the Final EIR
would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but
which the City Council declined to adopt.
SECTION 3. This portion of Alameda Avenue as described on Exhibits "A" and `B" is
no longer necessary for present or prospective public street purposes; that utility rights and the
ability to access the utilities at anytime without notice will be retained in the vacated streets as
described herein above.
SECTION 4. That the City Clerk of the City of Azusa shall cause a certified copy of
said order to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County.
SECTION 5. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 6"' day of April, 2015.
