AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
AMENDING THE CITY ZONING MAP TO REFLECT THE
RECLASSIFICATION OF VARIOUS CITYWIDE PROPERTIES FROM P TO
R3C, CBD, C2 AND M2 AND CERTIFYING THE NEGATIVE
DECLARATION FOR SAID PROJECT.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Azusa
determines and declares as follows:
A. The Planning Commission for the City of Azusa held
a duly noticed public hearing on February 24, 1993 , and,
after fully considering all oral and written testimony
offered at the aforementioned public hearing, adopted
Resolution No. 93-15, 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 15, 1993 , concerning this
ordinance and fully and carefully considered all oral and
written testimony offered therein prior to acting on this
ordinance.
C. The existing P zoning classification is outdated and
needs to be eliminated. The original intent of this
classification was to provide parking for adjacent
commercial and industrial areas. As this zone also
allows for residential uses, few parcels so zoned are
developed with the types of uses for which this zone was
intended. Rezoning of all P zoned parcels to
designations which more closely match existing and future
land uses should be accomplished.
D. The amendment to the Azusa Municipal Code as set
forth in this ordinance is consistent with the public
necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning
practice and is necessary for the preservation of the
public health, safety and general welfare.
E. The amendment to the Zoning Map as set forth in this
ordinance is consistent with and in conformance to the
General Plan of the City of Azusa, as amended by City
Council Resolution No. 93-C41 (General Plan Amendment No.
GPA-93-1) , and each of the elements thereof and furthers
the intent and purpose of Title 19, ZONING, of the Azusa
Municipal Code.
F. 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 of
the city's residents and available fiscal and
environmental resources.
SECTION 2 . The Zoning Map of the City of Azusa is
hereby amended to reflect the change in zoning for the property
located at 632 North Alameda Avenue from P to CBD.

hereby amended to reflect the change in zoning for the property
located at 633 North Angeleno Avenue from P to C2 .

III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
8.a. & b. Project involves the potential rezoning of several small
areas in the city, along with concurretn general plan amendments.
Several small lots would be changed from residential to commercial
zoning to reflect their actual uses. One half block would be
downzoned from a high residential density to a medium density.
Two parking lots would be rezoned to reflect the industrial uses
which they serve. Other parcels would be rezoned to prohibit
future use as parking lots. These changes would result in increased 3
consistency between the land use patterns and their zoning class-
ifications.
12. 1 four-unit apartment building would become a nonconforimg use. Other parcels whi

, V. DETERMINATION
(To be completed by Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluaticn:
x I find the proposed project COULD NOT HAVE a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECARATION has
been prepared and is attached.
I find that although the proposed project could have a 1
significant effect on the envir=ent, there will not be a
significant effect in this case because the mitigation
measures described on an attached sheet have been added to
the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project :_AY have a significant effect
effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required.
