AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
AMENDING CHAPTER 86 OF THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE
TO ADOPT THE REVISED ZONING CODE (CHAPTER 88)
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 September 25, 1996, and,
after fully considering all oral and written testimony
offered at the aforementioned public hearing, adopted
Resolution No. 96-37, 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 October 21, 1996, concerning
this ordinance and fully and carefully considered all
oral and written testimony offered therein prior to
acting on this ordinance.
C. In its continuing efforts to make the permitting
process more "user-friendly", streamlined, and more
efficient, the Community Development Department has
commenced a major overhaul of the City's Zoning Code.
The Zoning Code is an important document because it
determines the quantity and quality of development in
Azusa and shapes the urban environment. An up-to-date
zoning code would be effective in improving the quality
and aesthetics of the community over a period of time.
The revised Zoning Code now appears to address the
concerns that have been raised by the Planning
Commission, City Council, staff and the public. The
extensive review and feedback from these various groups
has resulted in a document which should meet the zoning
needs of Azusa well into the 21st Century.
D. The revised Zoning Code 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.
SECTION 2 . The Zoning Code of the City of Azusa is
hereby amended to replace the existing Chapter 86 of the Azusa
Municipal Code and replace it with the attached Chapter 88 of the
Azusa Municipal Code.
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.
SECTION 4 . The City Clerk shall certify to the
passage of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be published
in compliance with the provisions of the Azusa Municipal Code.
