AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
AMENDING THE CITY ZONING MAP TO REFLECT THE
RECLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 215 EAST SIERRA
MADRE AVENUE FROM RA TO R1A 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 June 15, 1994, and,
after fully considering all oral and written testimony
offered at the aforementioned public hearing, adopted
Resolution No. 94-41, 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 August 1, 1994, concerning this
ordinance and fully and carefully considered all oral and
written testimony offered therein prior to acting on this
ordinance.
C. The proposed Rla zoning of this parcel would be more
consistent with the zoning pattern of the surrounding
neighborhood than the current RA zoning. The surrounding
area is predominantly single-family residential in
character. The RA zone is more applicable to rural
residential areas with larger parcels which can be
utilized for raising animals or other agricultural uses.
The Rla zoning would therefore more appropriately match
the existing and future land uses of this property.
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, 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 215 East Sierra Madre Avenue from RA to Rla.
SECTION 3 . Pursuant to the State CEQA guidelines, a
negative declaration, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
A, has been prepared and reviewed, finding that the proposed
project could not have a significant effect on the environment.
The City Council hereby certifies said negative declaration, with
the proviso that the mitigation measures, if any, recommended in
the initial study, be implemented.
