THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Based on the entire record before the City Council of the City of Azusa
("Council"), all written and oral evidence presented, and all the staff reports provided, the
Council finds the Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Azusa
("General Plan") and contains site specific standards, guidelines and regulations for
implementing the Specific Plan in conformity with the City's General Plan, including its adopted
goals and objectives. A complete listing of applicable goals and objectives addressed,
implemented, and/or furthered by the adoption of the Parkside Azusa Specific Plan 4A is found
in Section 1.4 of the Parkside Azusa Specific Plan 4A document and has been considered by the
Council during their deliberations. This section demonstrates that the Parkside Azusa Specific
Plan 4A addresses, implements, or furthers 3 goals and objectives. Additionally, adoption of the
Parkside Azusa Specific Plan 4A will not obstruct the obtainment of many other goals and
objectives contained in the City's General Plan. As a result, the Council hereby finds that the
Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan including all of the adopted elements thereof.
SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the Commission and all written and oral
evidence presented to the Commission,the Commission finds the Specific Plan is consistent with
the General Plan of the City of Azusa and systematically implements the goals and objectives of
the General Plan in the following ways:
The Parkside Specific Plan 4A provides regulations, guidelines, and standards
that are consistent with and implement the goals and policies of the General Plan.
In particular, the General Plan Goals and Objectives pertaining to land use,
circulation, and community design are addressed.
Land Use Element Primary Community-Wide Land Use Goal:Ensure that the
type, amount, design, and pattern of all land uses throughout the City and
planning area serve to protect and enhance the character and image of Azusa as
a desirable residential urban community.
The Parkside Specific Plan 4A redesignates an infill area, with existing
residential and park uses on three sides, as a new residential area. It assures
quality development through provision of Development Standards and
Regulations.
Circulation Element Objective: To develop a balanced system of circulation
which incorporates motor vehicles,pedestrians, bicycles, and other private and
public transportation modes with greater safety and increased energy efficiency.
The Parkside Specific Plan 4A incorporates neo-traditional circulation planning
concepts including streets intended to slow traffic and to reduce overall pavement
area. Sidewalks separated from the street by planted parkways add to pedestrian
safety and enhance the neighborhood street scene.
Community Design Element Goal:Provide guidelines for design treatments of
public and private buildings which are aesthetic yet economically practical.
Architectural design guidelines provided with this document are intended to
ensure adequate quality and detail for a moderate-income residential
development. These guidelines also provide standards for both the City and
developer to reference when processing proposed site development plans.
SECTION 3: The land uses proposed within the Specific Plan area will be compatible
with the continuation of the surface mining operation, as well as with its reclamation as a landfill
and ultimately as open space.
SECTION 4: The proposed access routes to the Specific Plan area will be compatible
with the continuation of the mining operation of Southdown, Inc., and will in no way interfere
with the access routes to that mining operation.
SECTION 5: The proposed land uses which are the subject of this Specific Plan are
consistent with the City's mineral resource management policies, inasmuch as the subject site has
not been identified as a site to be used for mineral extraction in the Conservation Element of the
City's General Plan, and further consistent with said policies since the City finds that the
extraction of minerals on the project site would be detrimental to the existing portion of
Zacatecas Park and the existing residential development to the north, east, and south of the
project site.
SECTION 6: The City Council has balanced the importance of the mineral resources on
the site to their market region as a whole and has struck a balance in favor of the proposed land
uses.
SECTION 7: The City Council adopts and incorporates herein by this reference the
response sent to the Department of Conservation's letter,which letter was received on November
1, 1999, and which response includes the statement specifying the reasons for permitting the
proposed land uses, and which statement was forwarded to the State Geologist and the State
Board of Mining and Geology, which agencies have not commented further on the project or the
statement.
SECTION 8: Based on the entire record before the Council, all written and oral evidence
presented, and the findings made in the Ordinance, the Council hereby adopts and approves the
Parkside Azusa Specific Plan 4A as set forth in Exhibit A subject to the attached Conditions of
Approval in Exhibit B.
SECTION 9: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty(30) days after its
passage.
SECTION 10: A summary of this Ordinance shall be published in the manner required
by law.
