AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
AMENDING THE CITY ZONING MAP TO REFLECT THE
RECLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 830-890 AND 871-875
SOUTH CITRUS AVENUE AND 891-921 EAST ARROW HIGHWAY FROM
C2 TO C3 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 January 11, 1995, and, after fully considering all oral and written
testimony offered at the aforementioned public hearing,adopted Resolution No.95-2,
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
February 21, 1995,concerning this ordinance and fully and carefully considered all
oral and written testimony offered therein prior to acting on this ordinance.
C. This zone change would not result in any immediate significant impacts on
surrounding properties. The short-term effects of the new construction would be
mitigated by requiring the site to be watered down daily and enforcing the City's
noise ordinance. The long-term possibility of increased traffic would be mitigated
through the parking requirements and traffic flow design of the proposal. Proposed
uses at a later date would still have to follow the administrative review procedure of
a precise plan of design to protect adjacent residential properties from noise and
parking impacts. Although a zone change from C2 to C3 would permit land uses
such as auto-related businesses,swap meets,and secondhand stores,a conditional use
permit is automatically required in many cases. For example, secondhand stores and
alcohol establishments require conditional use permits and Planning Commission
review regardless of the zone they are in.
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 Chapter 86, 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 830-890 and 871-875 South Citrus Avenue and 891-921
East Arrow Highway from C2 to C3.
