AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 171
TO THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO
THE REDUCTION OF PERMITTED ZONES FOR NEW
MOTELS AND HOTELS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Azusa
hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. The Planning Commission for the City of Azusa
held a duly noticed public hearing on August 14, 1991
and, after fully considering all oral and written
testimony offered at the aforementioned public hearing,
adopted Resolution No. 91-57, recommending to the City
Council the adoption of this ordinance.
B. The City Council of the City of Azusa held a
duly noticed public hearing on September 18, 1991
concerning this ordinance and fully and carefully
considered all oral and written testimony offered
therein prior to acting on this ordinance.
C. Motels and hotels in Azusa generally have had
lower occupancy rates than those in similarly situated
cities in the County of Los Angeles. As a result, many
of the motels, in effect, have been converted into
apartment buildings offering long-term tenancies. This
has resulted in motels and hotels being used as multi-
family residential housing contrary to the zoning
classifications and development standards required under
Title 19 of the Azusa Municipal Code and the building
regulations contained in the State Housing Law and the
Azusa Municipal Code.
D. The potential exists for land use problems to
occur due to the intensity of motel and hotel uses
within their permitted commercial zones under the Azusa
Municipal Code which raises the probability that new
hotels and motels will not succeed in said zones.
E. The freeway service (FS) zone adjacent to the
Foothill Freeway is not subject to Code Amendment No.
171 and remains a viable zone for motel and hotel uses.
F. The amendments to the Azusa Municipal Code as
set forth in this ordinance are consistent with the
public necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good
zoning practice and are necessary for the preservation
of the public health, safety and general welfare.
G. The amendments to the Azusa Municipal Code as
set forth in this ordinance are consistent with and in
conformance to the General Plan of the City of Azusa and
each of the elements thereof and further the intent and
purpose of Title 19, ZONING, of the Azusa Municipal
Code.

H. In taking this action, City Council has
considered the effects of its decision on the housing
needs of the region in which the City is located and
balanced those needs against the public service needs of
the City's residents and available fiscal and
environmental resources.

amend or repeal the text of certain sections of Chapters
