The City Council of the City of Azusa does hereby find, determine and declare as follows: A. The Planning Commission for the City of Azusa held a duly noticed public hearing on February 12, 1992 and, after fully considering all oral and written testimony offered at the aforementioned public hearing, adopted Resolution No. 92-24 , 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 March 16, 1992 concerning this ordinance and fully and carefully considered all oral and written testimony offered therein prior to acting on this ordinance. C. Currently, mobilehome parks are permitted in the R2 , R3 , C2 , C3 , M1 and M2 zones with a conditional use permit. However, these zones also allow for a variety of other uses, which often provides mobilehome resi- dents little protection from development of their parks for other purposes. The establishment of a RMP zone which only allows mobilehome parks and the placement of this zone upon the park sites will help protect these residents from this threat. D. The proposed RMP zone will help to preserve an important portion of the City's affordable housing stock while creating a zoning category which more directly addresses the needs of mobile- home parks as a land use. This zone will be a valuable tool in the regulation of existing and future mobilehome parks in Azusa. E. The amendments to the Azusa Municipal Code as set forth herein 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. F. 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. G. In taking this action, the 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 10908.1 of the City's residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.
