AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA APPROVING A ZONE CHANGE
FROM R3a (MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) TO C2
(RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL) FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 1171 WEST ARROW HIGHWAY (CASE
NO. Z-89-1)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Azusa
does hereby find, determine and declare that :
A. An application was duly filed with the
Planning Commission by A.M.C. Clinical Laboratory,
Inc. requesting a zone change from R3a (Multi-
Family Residential) to C2 (Restricted Commercial)
for the property located at 1171 West Arrow Highway
( "Subject Property" ) .
B. On April 12, 1989 , the Planning
Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on
said application, at which time the Planning
Commission recommended to the City Council by
Resolution No. 89-26 that the zone change
classification for the Subject Property be
approved.
Section 2 . After due notice and public hearing
held by the City Council on June 19 , 1989, and in
consideration of all the oral and written evidence presented
at said public hearing, the City Council finds that:
A. The Subject Property is generally
described as 1171 West Arrow Highway within the
City of Azusa and legally described as: A portion
of Section 3, T1S RlOW, and as shown on a map on
file with the Planning Commission. The Subject
Property is currently vacant and covers 8, 250
square feet in area. The applicants propose to
construct a medical laboratory building on the
site. By Resolution Nos. 89-27 and 89-28 the
Planning Commission approved Precise Plan of Design
No. P-89-44 and Variance No. V-89-8 for the
construction of this laboratory building with minor
reductions in side and rear landscaped setbacks .
B. The public necessity, convenience,
general welfare and good zoning practice require
that the zone change from R3a to C2 for the Subject
Property be made. Although commercial development
in the area is located only to the west of the
Subject Property, residential construction on the
Subject Property would be inappropriate. A small
multi-family residential building on the site would
expose its residents to very busy traffic patterns
on Arrow Highway. The proposed medical building,
on the other hand, is consistent with the small
office building located to the west and other
commercial activities west of the Subject Property.
C. The granting of the zone change set forth
in this Ordinance is consistent with surrounding
land uses and zoning patterns in the area, and
provides consistency with the long term land use
goals of the Azusa General Plan. The zone change
would be most appropriate for this site and is
consistent with the principles of providing for
orderly development contained in the Land Use
Element of the General Plan.
D. In taking the action set forth in this
Ordinance, the City Council considered the effects
of the decision on the housing needs of the region
in which the City is located and balanced these
needs against the public service needs of the City
residents and available fiscal and environmental
resources.
E. All medical-related uses on the Subject
Property must provide and maintain garbage bins
that are locked at all times.
Section 3 . The City Council of the City of Azusa
does hereby approve the change of zone classification and
the amendment of the Azusa Municipal Code and the Official
Zoning Map referred to therein, so as to change from R3a to
C2, the Subject Property at 1171 West Arrow Highway.
Section 4. Upon the effective date of this
Ordinance, the Director of Community Development shall
revise the Official Zoning Map of the City of Azusa to
reflect the changes in zoning of the Subject Property.
Section 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the
passage of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be
published as required by law.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 7th day of August
1989 .
