does hereby find, determine and declare that:
A. The City of Azusa duly filed with the
Planning Commission a petition for change of zone

properties within the Azusa Avenue and San Gabriel

alleviate existing piecemeal zoning patterns and
create a more consistent and cohesive land use
pattern. The zone changes are as follows:

Sixth Street and Foothill Boulevard which are
now zoned P, along with the P zoned parcel on
Azusa Avenue north of Foothill Boulevard, to

east side of Azusa Avenue from the railroad
tracks to north of Ninth Street, on the west
side of Azusa Avenue and the east side of San
Gabriel Avenue from Foothill Boulevard to
Ninth Street, from CBD and P to C2;
(4) The parcels along Azusa Avenue and
San Gabriel Avenue between Foothill Boulevard
and Tenth Street which are now zoned R3c, with
the exception of the condominium complex at
the corner of *nth Street and Azusa and San
Gabriel Avenues, to add an overlay zone of
R3-0;

(7) The C2 zoned parcel at the southeast
corner of Azusa Avenue and Sierra Madre Avenue
from C2 to Rlb;
(8) The FS zoned parcels north of First
Street along Alameda Avenue, Dalton Avenue and

Avenue, with the exception of the parcel at
the southeast corner of San Gabriel Avenue and
Second Street, from FS to Ric.
B. On February 22, 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. 89-5 that the zone change
classification proposed for the subject properties
be approved.
C. Subsequent to February 22, 1989, the City
Council held several public hearings and referred a
portion of the study back to the Planning
Commission for further analysis. On September 27,
1989, after holding public hearings, the Planning
Commission adopted its Resolution 89-70
recommending the following revisions to the
original recommendations to deal with the high
number of multi-family residences on San Gabriel
Ave. between Second and Sixth Streets and to allow
continued recognition of these buildings as an
integral part of their surrounding neighborhood:
D. The property located at the southeast
corner of San Gabriel Avenue and Fifth Street shall
not be rezoned to R3-0 or changed in land use
designation to High Density Residential, but should
remain zoned C-2 with a designation of Central
Business District;
SECTION 2 . After due notice and several public
hearings held by the City Council, on November 6, 1989, and
in consideration of all the oral and written evidence
presented at said public hearing, the City Council finds
that:
A. The subject properties are located within
the Azusa Avenue and San Gabriel Avenue corridor,
and as further shown on a map on file with the
Planning Commission (hereinafter "Subject Area") .
The Subject Area is a mixed density residential and
commercial area.
B. Under City Council direction, a zoning
study of the Subject Area was undertaken for
purposes of examining whether the Subject Area
could or should be rezoned. The zoning study
revealed the following with respect to the Subject
Area:

11/29/89
(1) A additional specific plan should be
developed for Azusa Avenue between Second
Street and Foothill Boulevard to analyze the
downtown area in detail. The specific plan
would set development standards, necessary
improvements and land uses for this area, and
would give the City an effective tool in the
effort to revitalize downtown Azusa.
(2) The R1 parcels on Azusa Avenue north
of Twelfth Street were analyzed, and the
current zoning recommended to remain after it
became apparent that these parcels could not
be split into two lots under their present
zoning.
(3) The viability of the few
commercially zoned parcels on San Gabriel
Avenue south of Fifth Street were reviewed,
and the R3-0 zone was considered to be more
compatible with the predominantly residential
surroundings of the area. The R3-0 zone for
other residential parcels on San Gabriel
Avenue between Fifth and Sixth Street was also
analyzed and confirmed.
(4) The zone change and general plan
amendment would be a closer match between the
land uses and zoning in this area of Azusa.
Existing piecemeal zoning patterns would be
removed, creating a more easily identifiable
and understandable zoning scheme.
(5) The imposition of the R3-0 zone
would create higher development standards for
the small lot R3 parcels in the study area.
(6) These zone changes will ultimately
lead to better residential and commercial
development along the Azusa Avenue and San
Gabriel Avenue corridor.
C. The public necessity, convenience,
general welfare and good zoning practice require
that the zone change set forth in this Ordinance be
made.
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 make the following
changes in the Subject Area:
(1) The rear portion of parcels along Azusa
Avenue and San Gabriel Avenue between Sixth
Street and Foothill Boulevard which are now
zoned P, along with the P zoned parcel on
Azusa Avenue north of Foothill Boulevard, to
CBD;
(2) Both sides of San Gabriel Avenue from
Second Street to Sierra Madre Avenue from R3c,
P, C2 and CBD to R3c, with an overlay zone of
