INFORMATION ITEM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: F.M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER,
DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2007
SUBJECT: BUSINESS LICENSE PENALTY COMPLAINT INQUIRY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council receive and file this report.
BACKGROUND
Mr. Dennis Willut has complained to the City Council regarding his family's business license
renewal penalties for their rental properties on three separate occasions. His first appearance
was on November 20, 2006 and subsequently on January 16, 2007 and again February 5,
2007. The City Council received a copy of a written response sent to Mr. Willut on December
21, 2006.
The business licenses on the properties in question have a long record of late payments going
back as far as November 2000. In fact the Willut's were delinquent on their licenses in 4 of
the last 5 years. Penalties were waived three previous times on the 8th Street Property, and
once on the Soldano property. Penalties have been previously paid on two occasions on each
property. In 2002 the Willut's issued the City a check that bounced.
The most recent issue questioned by Mr. Dennis Willut were the additional late penalties
assessed for the 2005-2006 year amounting to $578.08 for both rental properties, and the
penalties remain unpaid. The total of the Business License fees for the Willut's 4-unit
apartment in 2005-2006 were $570.68, and $178.50 for the two-unit duplex, of which only
$32.00 was paid for each property. The reason for the high penalty is that the notices and
delinquency notices were ignored for one year. Mr. Willut and his Mother have complained
that the $32 renewal fees assessed to all Business Licenses were paid on time. Mr. Willut
believes that the total amount of the license process is confusing and misleading. However,
the Willut's have properly computed their license tax including the renewal fees in the past;
and the calculation is clearly indicated in the box on the lower left-hand side of the Renewal
Notice.
The most recent late fees assessed on the Business Licenses in question date back to
October 24, 2005. From October of 2005 to June of 2006 the Willut's were notified of
Business License Taxes due with the original renewal notice, and two follow up mailed
delinquent notices, one being a reminder of the possibility that late penalties being assessed.
Only when ignored for a long period of time were penalties assessed on the two separa
properties: 334 E. 8th Street, (4 units); and 741 N. Soldano, (2 units). 7l
del,o
_ w
arf
All business license renewals are sent out between 4 to 6 weeks before the license is due to
expire. Renewals are sent to the wiling address that has been supplied to the City by the
•
landlord business owner. It is theusiness owner's obligation to keep the City advised of any
change in mailing address or other pertinent information. If the United States Postal Service
returns a renewal notice to us, staff will note the fact and attempt,to obtain an updated
mailing address.
Mr. Dennis Willut has come to the Business License counter numerous times on behalf of his
Mother Kathryn, the license holder and owner of the property, and had the sequence of
events explained to him in great detail. Mr. Willut steadfastly refuses to accept responsibility
for the outstanding late charges.
It is only due to the repeated track record of disregard for the Business License Tax renewal
deadlines and previous waivers of late penalties that the most recent appeals have been
denied. It is felt that to continue to waive penalties for the Willut's family would be unjust for
those individuals that consciously pay their licenses on a timely basis.
FISCAL IMPACT
Waiver of the Business License penalty would have an impact of$578.08 to the General
Fund.

I
Cosponsored by:
California Resources Agency
Attendance at the workshop is FREE and a
complimentary box lunch will be served.
Attendance is limited; to guarantee a seat you
must register in advance. On-site registration
will be limited to availability.
There are multiple Delta Vision initiatives underway
and a decision on the future of the Delta will be made
in the next two years. Unlike past planning efforts that
focused primarily on the Delta's water resource issues
and ecosystem, these current efforts have expanded to
include land use planning, recreation, flood management,
and energy, rail and transportation infrastructure.
How - or if - all these competing demands can be
accommodated is the question facing local, state and
federal officials, Delta residents, businesses and utilities,
resource managers, local agencies and other Delta
stakeholders.
This one -day workshop will explore these pressing issues
and explain Delta vision planning underway Moderators
will encourage panel debates among knowledgeable
speakers on all sides of these important issues. Audience
members will be invited to join facilitated break-out
sessions to provide feedback and offer suggestions.
The Foundation will prepare and distribute a workshop
summary to share with Delta visioning efforts and
those who cannot attend the workshop.
Workshop topics include:
> Developing a Vision: How Do the Dots Connect?
> The Delta of Tomorrow: Land Use and Other Trends
> How to Be Involved: Developing a Common Vision
> Input on a Delta Vision: How Can We Accommodate
Competing Uses?
> Alternative Delta Visions: The Public Policy Institute

DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2007
SUBJECT: LOS ANGELES COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT WEED ABATEMENT
PROTEST HEARING
I
RECOMMENDATION
it is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct an informal protest hearing and refer any property owners with
objections to the Los Angeles County Fire Department Brush Clearance Office for
consideration.
2. Approve the motion and abatement order directing abatement of the nuisance
by removing ail weeds, and rubbish from the affected improved parcels.
BACKGROUND
On February 5, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 07-C 1 1 declaring certain
improved land parcels within the City a public nuisance due to recurring weed growth
and/or the presence of rubbish. Pursuant to the Resolution, a protest hearing is required
to afford affected property owners an opportunity to voice their objections. The owners
of all affected parcels have been notified by the Los Angeles County Fire Department of
the date and time for the protest hearing. This process is a ministerial duty by the City
Council and is required under provisions of state and local laws. Staff has attached copies
of the Resolution adopted February 5, 2007, for Council review.
FISCAL IMPACT
The costs of weed abatement services are part of the City's contractual costs with the
Consolidated Fire Protection District. In the event abatement work occurs on privately
owned properties, the costs are recovered through the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors. There are no added direct costs or additional fiscal impacts to the city for
this service.

Dear Improved Property Owner:
This is not a citation or summons. This is the first brush clearance
notice and a reminder that the County of Los Angeles Fire Department
will be conducfing annual brush clearance inspections within the next few
months.
The County Fire Code states that parcel owners are responsible
throughout the year for the maintenance of all brush, flammable
vegetation (native and/or ornamental), and other combustible materials
situated on their property.
General clearing requirements are listed on the reverse side of this
notice. Please review these clearing requirements and take appropriate
action prior to the annual inspection date for. your area. Abatement of
potential or existing hazards prior to the inspection saves the Fire
Department and yourself valuable money and time and insures a safer
community.
Inspections are scheduled to begin April 1 in the Antelope Valley, June 1
in the Coastal Area, and May 1 in all other areas. If hazardous fire
conditions exist on your property at the time of inspection, you will be
issued an Oficial Inspection Report which will indicate existing violations
and provide specific clearing instructions and a compliance deadline.
Failure to comply with the Official Inspection Report issued at the time of
the inspection will result in the imposition of a $200 administrative
penalty and an additional $231 special assessment on your annual tax
bill as item CO FIRE ABMT ENF to recover the County of Los Angeles
Fire Department costs related to the enforcement of the Fire Code.
Additionally, if your parcel is inspected or cleared by the Agricultural
Commissioner, an inspection fee of $38.47 or the clearing costs will be
placed on your annual tax bill as item LA CO HAZ ABATE.
IIn most cases, it is more cost effective to do the work yourself or to hire a
vendor to do the work. A vendor list is available at your local fire station.
For additional information regarding specific dearing requirements,
contact your local fire station or the Brush Clearance Unit at (626)
969-2375.

ANNUAL BRUSH CLEARANCE
NOTICE
BRUSH CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
Thousands of homes are in serious danger of destruction by fire because of their proximity to
brush -covered areas. Homes with wood shake roofs, wood siding, decks, patio covers or exposed
eaves are particularly vulnerable to the spread of fire. Despite efforts by firefighters, wildland fires
fanned by strong winds, can destroy homes. It is your legal responsibility to take the necessary
action to clear vegetation around any given structures. A fire safe landscape creates a defensible
space to help protect against approaching wildfires.
1. All flammable vegetation identified as a fire hazard by the inspection officer shall be
mowed or cut to a stubble height of 3 inches, for 30 feet around any structure or 50
feet in high hazard areas (County of Los Angeles Fire Code 1117.2.2(2),1117.2.3).
2. Create a firebreak for the next 70 feet, for a total of 100 feet, around any structure
by clearing, trimming, thinning, cutting back and removing flammable vegetation.
For high hazard areas, this distance can be increased to a maximum of 200 feet
(County of Los Angeles Fire Code 1117.2.2(3),1117.2.3).
3. Single specimens of trees, ornamental shrubbery, or ground covers are permissible,
provided that they do not form a means of transmitting fire from native growth to the
structure (County of Los Angeles Fire Code 1117.2.2(2)). It is recommended that
specimens shall be spaced a minimum of 15 feet or 3 times their diameter from other
specimens, structures or surrounding native brush.
4. Access roads shall be maintained with a minimum of 10 feet of brush clearance
on each side. Fire access roads shall have an unobstructed vertical clearance clear
to the sky. Trees overhanging fire access roads shall be maintained to provide
adequate vertical clearance (County of Los Angeles Fire Code 902.2.2.1).
5. Provide a minimum of 3 feet of brush clearance around all fire hydrants (County of
Los Angeles Fire Code 1001.7.2).
6. It is strongly recommended that all trees and shrubs shall be maintained free of dead
wood and litter. Trees and shrubs may be required to be trimmed up from the ground
1/3 of their height.
7. Trees are best trimmed during dormancy or during the winter months. Care should be
taken when trimming trees during the spring as this is the nesting season for many
species of birds.
All plants will bum under extreme fire weather conditions. Fire resistant plants burn at a relatively
low intensity, at slow rates,of spread and with short flame lengths. To best protect your home from
fire, it is recommended that fire resistant plants be used when landscaping. A list of these plants

FROM: BRUCE COLEMAN, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT C
DIRECTOR Ijy�
VIA: F.M. DELACH
DATE: FEBRUARY 20,, 21006
SUBJECT: CULTURAL AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION TO ADD THE "OLD SCHOOL HOUSE" BUILDING,
LOCATED AT 403 N. ANGELENO AVENUE TO THE APPROVED SURVEY LIST
OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES AND TO THE CITY LIST OF POTENTIAL
HISTORIC LANDMARKS.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council provide policy direction on the Cultural and Historic Preservation
Commission's recommendation to add the "Old School House", located at 403 N.
Angeleno Avenue, at the southeast corner of the Slauson Middle School campus, to the
approved survey list of historic properties and to the City list of Potential Historic
Landmarks. Past precedence has been that the City Council would yield to a property
owner's request if they opted not to be listed as a Potential Historic Landmark.
Although staff would concur that the "Old School House" should be added to the
approved survey list of historic properties, we recommend that it not be included on the
City list of Potential Historic Landmarks, based on the protest by the property owner.
BACKGROUND
The 1953 - 2004 City of Azusa General Plan Historic Preservation Element included a
survey list of historic properties and buildings recommended for preservation. That list
identified the "Old School House" and the original school house site as a site and building
to be preserved. The structure was identified as the oldest, still -standing schoolhouse in
Azusa, originally located on Fourth Street, between Soldano Avenue and Pasadena
Avenue, and later moved to 403 N. Angeleno Avenue. In 2000, as part of a new Historic
Preservation Chapter of the Municipal Code, the Cultural and Historic Preservation
Commission drafted a new survey list of historic properties along with a list of Potential
Historic Landmarks. The "Old School House" was inadvertently omitted from both of
these lists.
On November 1, 2005, it was brought to the attention of the Cultural and Historic
Preservation Commission that the "Old School House" was being considered for
City Council Staff Report re:
Cultural and Historic Preservation Commission Recommendation
2/20/07
Page 2
demolition by the Azusa Unified School District. The building is currently used for storage
and has not been well maintained.
On January 17, 2006, the Cultural and Historic Preservation Commission requested that
the City .Council investigate the feasibility of the City moving the "Old School House"
building onto City property in order to preserve it from demolition. The Council discussed
the preservation of the building with the AUSD at a joint meeting on January 30, 2006,
however, no decision on the disposition of the structure was reached at that time.
A discussion on the nomination of the "Old School House" to the City list of Potential
Historic Landmarks was scheduled for a public hearing at the November 21, 2006 Cultural
and Historic Preservation Commission meeting. The AVSD, as the property owner, was
notified of the meeting in accordance with the Municipal Code. The AUSD requested a
cancellation of the meeting to allow consultation with the Board of Education regarding
this issue and to allow appropriate representation by District staff at the meeting. The
November 21, 2006 Cultural and Historic Preservation Commission meeting was canceled
due to a lack of quorum and the issue was continued to the next regularly scheduled
Commission meeting on December 19, 2006. When the AUSD was notified that the
discussion of the nomination of the "Old School House" was continued to the December
19, 2006 meeting, with a staff recommendation that the discussion be further continued
to the January 16, 2007 Commission meeting, the AUSD responded that the School
Board would be finalizing the Board direction at their meeting on January 16, 2007 and
the City would be notified of the intent of the School District. The 1/16/07 AUSD letter
further stated that the District does not consent to the proposed designation of the "Old
School House" as a Potential Historic Landmark and requested that the Commission not
initiate consideration of such designation without the consent of the District.
On December 19, 2006, the Commission discussed the nomination of the "Old School
House" at their regularly scheduled meeting and unanimously agreed to recommend that
the City Council add the "Old School House" to the survey list of historic properties and
to the City list of Potential Historic Landmarks, notwithstanding the objections of the
AUSD.
On February 8, 2007, the AUSD sent a letter to the City stating that the District does not
possess any documentation supporting the historic status -of the "Old School House" and
that it intends to continue the next steps for the removal of the structure from District
property.
ANALYSIS:
In March 2001, the City Council adopted a Survey List of 96 historic properties. The 96
historic properties were then nominated to the City list of Potential Historic Landmarks.
Property owners were allowed to remove their property from the list of Potential Historic
Landmarks if they so desired. 38 property owners removed their properties from the City
list of Potential Historic Landmarks at that time. Per the Historic Preservation Chapter of
the Municipal Code, the Cultural and Historic Preservation Commission may add historic
buildings to the survey list of historic properties and may also submit the subject property
to the City Council for inclusion in the Potential Historic Landmark list without the
City Council Staff Report re:
Cultural and Historic Preservation Commission Recommendation
2/20/07
Page 3
property owner's consent for nomination. The City Council may approve a nominated
property to the Potential Historic Landmark with or without the property owner's consent.
In addition, when a building or property is on the Potential Historic Landmark list, the
building is subject to the constraints of the Municipal Code as it pertains to potential
historic landmarks. These constraints include a review of any proposed changes to the
property or building by the Cultural and Historic Preservation Commission, and
recommendations by the Commission to minimize any changes to the property or
building. The listing of a building or property on a survey list of historic properties or the
City list of Potential Historic Landmarks also triggers California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) requirements, which would require an environmental review of any proposed
demolition or changes to the property or building through an Initial Study and potentially
through an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The addition of the "Old School House" to the survey list of historic properties and the
City list of Potential Historic Landmarks would have no fiscal impact to the City. However,
the AUSD has offered to give the "Old School House" to any organization or group that
would relocate the facility, at no cost to the District. It remains clear that the cost of
rehabilitation, relocation and land purchase necessary to preserve the structure is
estimated between $800,000 and $900,000 Should the structure remain at its present
location, rehabilitation could cost up to $85,000.

WHEREAS, said building is not habitable for regular use by students due to State of

Now, therefore, the Board of Education does hereby resolve the following:

School be offered to public agencies and non-profit organizations at no -cost with the
stipulation that said building must be removed from District pRoperty; and

general distribution; and

from District property; and
That removal of said building shall involve no cost to the District; and
That if the District receives no declaration of interest regarding said building within
the established timelines, that the Board of Education authorizes staff to demolish
said building anytime after March 31, 2006.

SUBJECT: CULTURAL AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
I RECOMMENDATION TO PRESERVE THE AZUSA UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT (AUSD) OLD SCHOOLHOUSE BUILDING.
RECOMMENDATION:
ion Commission is recommending that the City
The Cultural and Historic Preservat
I the City moving the old schoolhouse building,
Council investigate the feasibility of
currently located on AUSD property at the southeast comer of Slauson Middle
School, to a City -owned site where it can be restored and adapted for re -use,
possibly as a school museum.
BACI(GROUND:
On May 17, It was brought to the attention of the Cultural and Historic
Preservation Commission that an historic old building, the oldest still -standing
schoolhouse in Azusa, was being considered for demolition by the Azusa Unified
School District (AUSD). The building is being used for storage and has not been
well maintained.
On October 18, 2005, a resident, Art Morales, approached the Commission,
requesting that the Commission discuss the issue of the demolition of the old
school building with the AUSD, hoping to convince them to save the building.
On November 15, 2005, Chairman Corne)o presented a letter to the Commission
from the AUSD which informed the City and the Commission of the District's
intention to remove the old school building on the Slauson Middle School
property, by transfer of ownership or demolition. The letter included a Resolution
which set out the provisions by which the building could be relocated, with the
stipulation that the building must be removed from AUSD property at no cost to
the District. The Resolution states that the deadline for a declaration of Interest in
City Council Staff Report re:
Cultural and Historic Preservation Commission Recommendation
1117/05
Page 2
the building is March 31, 2006, with the deadline for the removal of the building
from AUSD property as December 31, 2006. If the AUSD does not receive a
declaration of interest in the buliding within the established timeline, the building
could be demolished anytime after March 31, 2006.
ANALYSIS:
In order to preserve the old schoolhouse building, the City would need to submit a
declaration of interest in the building to the AUSD prior to March 31, 2006,
committing to relocate the building by no later than December 31, 2006. The City
would then need to identify a City -owned site to which the building could be
relocated: The City would need to allocate funds to move the old schoolhouse
building and funds to refurbish and maintain the building.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impacts - relocation, restoration and maintenance- are unknown at this
time. No funds have been allocated for this activity.

Dear Bruce:
t of a letter from Susan Cole dated January 3, 2007 indicating that the
The District is in receip
City of Azusa Cultural and Historic Preservation Commission unanimously agreed on
December 19, 2006, to recommend to the City Council that the "Old School House", /orated
at 403 N. Angeleno Avenue, be added to the City of Azusa Potential Historic Landmark list.
This action was taken in spite of a District letter objecting to the scheduled meeting dates
and City Staff recommendations of a continuance to a future date. It is our understanding
that the City Council will be holding a public hearing in the future for the purpose of acting on
this recommendatioh.
ed Resolution #05-06:30 on October 4, 2005 which
The District's Board of Education approv
concluded the following:
1. That the "Old School House" is not habitable for regular use by students due to State
of California regulations.
2. That the "Old School House" has fallen into disrepair and would be costly to renovate
and may not ever be able to be habitable by students.
3. That renovation of the "Old School House" would require the use of funds currently
identified for delivery of improvements to students.
4. That the District would prefer to have the "Old School House" preserved by an outside
agency rather than permanently demolishing the building, with the stipulation that
such preservation would be at no cost to the District and that the building would be
removed from District property.
The Board of Education reviewed the status of the "Old School House" at their regularly
scheduled meeting held Tuesday, November 28, 2006. As a result of this review of status,
the Board of Education reaffirmed its position as stated in item #4 above. The District does
documentation presently that would support the historical status of the "Old
not possess any
School Nouse" and intends to continue the next steps for the removal of the "Old School
House" from District property in accordance with all legal requirements. The District remains
willing to work with the City and/or non-profit organizations to preserve the "Old School

House" with the caveats that the building must be removed from District property at little or
no cost to the District and that such removal/renovation occur in a timely manner.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: IMPLEMENTATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE AZUSA CITIZENS'
COMMITTEE FOR CODE COMPLIANCE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council direct the City Attorney to incorporate the
recommended changes to the City of Azusa Development Code, and where
applicable, to the Azusa Municipal Code as recommended by the Azusa Citizens'
Committee for Code Compliance as modified by staff.
BACKGROUND
On July 17, 2006, the City Manager appointed a committee to review five issues
related to the new development code that had caused some community concerns.
This five issues included temporary signs in connection with commercial, business,
service, and retail related entities; recreational vehicle parking and storage in private
residential properties and on public streets; vehicle parking and storage on private "
residential properties and residential zoning streets and alleys; commercial vehicle
parking and storage on private residential properties and residential zoned streets and
alleys; and, temporary accessory structures visible in front yards, side yards and all
private areas other than behind a minimum 5'0" high solid fenced side and rear yard.
The committee was composed of nine Azusa residents, Chairman Jorge Rosales, Vice -
Chairperson Peggy Martinez, Secretary Frances Melanson and members Don Boline,
Bart Luce, Art Morales, Jimmy Sanford, Roman Seano and Mike Trelles. The
committee was staffed by Assistant City Manager Robert Person with assistance from
Bruce Coleman, Martin Quiroz and Tina Cravens. In addition, various staff members
5
attended meeting in order to provide "operational" input. Those staff members
included James Makshanoff, Larry Onaga, Fabiola Wong, Tom Montague, Mike Scott
and Rick McMinn. The committee worked every Thursday from August 10 through
November 27 (with the exception of Thanksgiving) and met its delivery date to the
City Manager.
On December 18, 2006, staff transmitted the Committee's recommendation to City
Council for review. Concurrently, staff began a detailed analysis of the
recommendations to determine any possible amendments to the recommendations
for successful implementation. It should be noted that of the five "issue" areas, the
issue related to the parking of commercial vehicles on private residential properties
and residentially zoned streets was referred to the City Attorney for separate
processing. Therefore, the following contains only recommendations on the
remaining four "issue" areas.
Staff has included the entire text of the recommendations by the Committee. Where
there is no staff comment following the recommendation, it indicates that staff
concurs with the Committee's recommendation. Where there is staff comment, it
indicates that the recommendation requires clarification, amendment, postponement
of implementation or other action and the reasons for the staff recommendation.
Staff recommendations are italicized and underlined for the ou42ose of better
readability.
The Committee has reached the following conclusions and hereby makes the
following recommendations:
The Purpose of the Committee Recommendations with Respect to Temporary
Signs: The recommendations reached by this Committee are intended to
appropriately limit the placement, type, size and number of temporary signs within
the City's commercial, retail, and business entities. The purpose of these
recommendations is to:
a. Avoid safety hazards by reducing visual distractions and visual obstructions.
b. Improve the City's curb appeal by improving aesthetics and attractiveness.
c. Develop effective means of advertising and communication to the public.
2. Applicability in Connection with Temporary Signs:
A. The type of temporary signs that these recommendations apply to are:

/tea/issues associated with the regulation of this We of sign. ff there
are none imo%mentation is recommended.
b. Balloons
c. Banners
d. Free standing signs
e. Off-site directional signs
7
f. Inflatable devices
g. Pennants
h. Portable signs
i. Streamers
B. These recommendations do not regulate the message content of temporary
signs except that prohibits obscene temporary signs as defined by State
Law.
C. Most of the definitions of specialized terms and phrases used in these

definitions for the following terms should be added where appropriate in
Article 7:
a. Attended display signs
b. Business entity
c. Commercial entity
d. Display of goods
e. Public right-of-way
f. Retail entity
D. These temporary sign recommendations apply to all Neighborhoods,

213 E. Foothill Blvd.
Azusa, CA 91702
B. Temporary sign permits shall be issued only for the following type of
temporary signs:
1. Balloons

6. Streamers
9
C. The following types of temporary signs are prohibited:

4. In public right-of-ways
D. Temporary sign permits are required for all retail, business, commercial,
manufacturing, and industrial entities located throughout the City (All
Neighborhoods, All Districts, All Corridors, and All Special Purpose Zones.

E. A licensed retail, business, or commercial entity may be allowed the use of
temporary signs with a temporary City Sign Permit approval, only as follows:
3
9
For a maximum of 60 days after the first opening day of the new retail,

of the retail, business, or commercial entity. These initial 60 days may be
used continuously or may be split into no more than two (2) times
during the initial year open at posting intervals not less than thirty (30)
days following the issuance of the single or multiple permits; Staff is
unclear as to why there would be a `not less than 30 days"provision. /f
the applicant wishes to take his/her sign down at any time during those
30 dayperiods. that would be their choice however it would still count
as one of the two split times recommended above: and
For a maximum aggregate total of 60 additional days in any calendar
year, in addition to the time allowed by Section E. (1) above. Entities
may use these 60 days continuously or at their option split it into a
maximum of four (4) times per year at posting intervals not less than
fifteen (15) days per permit. Staff is unclear as to why there would be a
not less t/ian 15 days"provision as noted in oaragraoh #1 above.
The application for a temporary sign permit shall include the dates
proposed by the applicant for scheduled temporary sign use. Permits
may be obtained annually or each time the entity is entitled to the
issuance of a permit base on the provisions outlined in Sections E (1)
and E (2) above.
In addition to the required non-refundable permit fee for each temporary
sign permit, a deposit shall be posted for each temporary sign permit
issued. Deposits shall be forfeited if temporary signs are not removed

Residents for out of town visitors for a period of up to 14 calendar days and
not more than 4 times per year. A non-refundable fee and an Azusa

Due to anticipated extensive administration and enforcement costs
associated with this recommendation staff suffgests that certain periods of

Martin Luther Nng Day.
4. Recreational Vehicles Panting and Storage Requirements.
A. Recreational vehicles are defined in item 2.d. above.
B. All vehicles may be parked on public streets, where allowed and as
restricted by the City. Where allowed, Recreational vehicles may be parked

seventy-two (72) continuous hours (3 days) in a public street is prohibited
and subject to citation as allowed by State Law.
C. Parking of RV's beyond 72 consecutive hours on public streets shall be
permitted only in accordance with item 3 above.
D.'A maximum of one RV (Staff believes this item needs further refinement. if
the definition of an RVincludes motorcycles this statement would prohibit
a household from Da "king anything other than one motorcycle. Staff will
work with the Committee chair for clarification) may be parked and/or
stored in a front yard setback of a residential driveway, provided that all of
the following conditions are met: (1). The entire RV fits over an
appropriately paved surface, (2). The RV is parked and/or stored behind a
public sidewalk, where applicable; (3) The RV is parked and/or stored behind
the property line and does not encroach into a parkway, where applicable;
(4). The RV is parked at least 8'-0" from the face of the curb, or 8'•0" from
the beginning of the paved street in the event that there is no curb; and (5).
Paved surfaces in front yard setbacks shall not exceed 35% coverage of the
total front yard setback. Staff believes that this should also apply to street
side setbacks on a corner lot.
E. RV's may be parked or stored on side yards, as long as the entire RV fits
over an appropriately paved surface and there is a clearance of not less than
3'-0" from the residential structure the entire length of the RV and solid
fence screening) at the side property line of not less than 6-0" in height.
F. RV's may be parked or stored on rear yards, as long as the entire RV fits over
an appropriately paved surface and there is a clearance of not less than 3'-
0" from the residential structure for the entire length, front, or back of the
RV and solid fence screening is provided through the entire property line of
not less than 6-0" in height.

any Fluids (oil, coolant, etc.). No person shall dump or dispose of any RV

I. RV's may be protected with an appropriate cover. An appropriate RV cover
is considered a snap -up cover or snug zip -up cover made of canvas,
polyester, vinyl or other weather resistant material, customized to fit over
the RV. No RV shall be parked or stored anywhere on the property under a
temporary accessory structure (i.e. canopy, tent, tarp, or similar structure).
J. RV's may be temporarily connected to an electrical outlet only while parked
within the private property for a period not to exceed 72 hours, and for the
sole purpose of loading and unloading the RV and getting it ready for an
excursion or storage.
K. RV owners who are able to demonstrate and prove to the City that they
have in the past received direction and approval from the City to perform
capital improvements to their property for the purpose of parking and
storing RVs may apply for an exemption to these rules from the City. Staff
will need to develop standards that are acceptable forms of 'receiving
direction and aoproval from the City".
This area was the crux of the Committee's work in response to the
community's concerns reOrdingrecreational vehicles Staffis appreciative
of the practical standards develooed by the Committee and fee/ that
enforcement of RV parking rules will be easier as a result of their
recommendations.
5. Vehicles Parking and Storage Requirements and Standards in Residential
Lots.
A. All vehicles parked in the front yard (setback) of a residential lot shall be
parked only on a driveway leading to a garage or carport (the code currently
allows circular driveways that do not lead to a arage or carport. Staff will
make a final determination on this issue prior to presenting it in codified
form), and shall be parked on a fully paved surface. The maximum allowable
area to be paved for such purposes is 35 percent of the front yard setback
area.
B. Parking of any vehicles on unpaved surfaces, concrete tiles or blocks, or
grasscrete blocks, concrete tiles, or similar surfaces is prohibited. Driveways
must be fully paved. Staff believes this recommendation is too rigid. In an
effort to encoura e� less pavement grasscrete and other durable turf blocks
should be allowed.
C. The parking or storage of inoperable vehicles in the front yard of a residential
lot is prohibited. Inoperable vehicles may be parked or stored in the side or
rear yards of a residential lot on a paved area or in a garage, provided the
vehicle is fully screened with approved and appropriate fencing from public
view. Staff believes the above requires lavage not allow/nEr parking or
storing of inoperative vehicles on the street side of corner lots.
D. The parking of any vehicle on any vacant unpaved lot is prohibited.
E. Parked vehicles in front yard driveways shall not encroach into a parkway
containing sidewalks or without sidewalks or at least 8'-0" from the edge of
the curb and in the absence of a curb at least 8'0" from the edge of the paved
road.
F. Vehicle repairs shall not be performed in front yards setbacks except in case
of an emergency. No long term repairs or car dismantling shall be allowed in
front yard setbacks. An emergency is considered as the car being unable to
start such as a battery jump or changing a flat tire. Long term repairs are
considered those taking more than a 12 consecutive hour period.
Staffstrongly supports this recommendation At this time there are no
Provisions for citing of vehicles marked on front lawns. /t is further suggested
that these regulations also be included in the Azusa Municipal Code in order
to facilitate citing by both Police Department and Community Development
Departments.
Vehicle Parking Restrictions on Public Streets. 5taffbelieves this entire
section does not belong in the Development Code but should be contained in
the Municipal Code. furthermore the issue of city-wide street sweepingis
Current/v under discussion with the City's service provider /t is anticipated that
city-wide street sweeping will be a recommendation included in the FY2007
Operating Budget. /molementation of the committee's recommendations in
that regard, could lead to higher costs due to the alternating north/south and
east/west routes being recommended
a
1 C.
Parking of all vehicles on public streets of Residential Neighborhoods shall
not exceed 72 consecutive hours as mandated by State Law.

while codification of these recommendations may streamline and clarify issues related
to Code Complfance, enforcement efforts in these areas will have to be balanced with
other demands of Code Compliance and Police Department staff It may also be of
benefit that once these recommendations are codified that the City undertake an
educational public outreach effort to inform RV owners of these new regulations
Staff will include funding for this recommended outreach effort in the FY2007 Budget
proposals.

(COMPUTER DISCOUNT WAREHOUSE -GOVERNMENT) UNDER
WSCA (WESTERN STATES CONTRACT ALLIANCE)
{
RECOMMENDATION
1. It is recommended that the City Council waive formal sealed bids in
accordance with Azusa Municipal Code Section 2-523(e) due to the fact that
CDW-G is covered under the WSCA (Western States Contract Alliance)
{ agreement number A74401, which allows cities to waive formal bidding, and
award the issuance of a Purchase Order to CDW-G in the amount not to
exceed $21,869.00.
BACKROUND
Each year the City's Information Technology plans for the rotation of computer
hardware. Since 1996 the staff has been rotating out and retiring antiquated
hardware. This effort has succeeded in standardizing PCs throughout all
departments.
The ongoing Information Technology equipment replacement plan is to address
areas with low-end computers, and realign PC replacement with PC life cycle
through annual equipment replacement. Given the high total cost of ownership
and the rapid obsolescence of the PC's, replacements were initially planned
over a 3 year life cycle. By relocating PC's and printers across departments and
users as we procure new systems, we have been able to achieve optimal usage
!,
of the equipment and extend the life of the PC's to 4 years in most cases. Thus
on average one fourth of the City PC's, printers. and servers need to be replaced
annually to keep performance and reliability to a minimum standard. These 21
PC's will be used in various departments.
FISCAL IMPACT
This expenditure is budgeted as part of the 2007 operating budget, equipment
replacement, 48499300007142.

Demolition Award for Wimpey's ayd Block 36
P#ge 2of3
On January 16, 2007, the Agency held a public hearing and approved entering into a Disposition and
Development Agreement ("DDA") with the Developer for the development of the site as a quality
mixed-use project consistent with the General Plan and Development Code. Under the DDA the Agency
is obligated to perform the asbestos abatement and demolition of the site.
On January 16, 2007, the Agency Board approved the specifications for demolition and asbestos
abatement for the Block 36 project, which consists of 6 vacant commercial structures (APN# 8611-
003-906, 907, 908, 909, 910, and 912), the City -owned parking lot (APN# 8611-003-911, 900, 901,
902, and 903), and northerly portions of the alley located on the Block 36 project site and the property
located at 100 East Foothill Boulevard, (APN # 8611-003-006) commonly known as the Wimpey's
Pawn Shop. The Agency authorized staff to advertise the bid process.
On January 25, 2007 staff advertised the demolition and asbestos abatement project through the green
sheet and the Azusa Herald.
On February 1, 2007 as a requirement to the bidding process, a mandatory walk-through was
scheduled. Three (3) contracting companies participated in the walk-through.
On February 7, 2007 addendums were issued modifying the original specifications as set forth under
the original bid and advertisement. The addendums were faxed to all the interested contractors that
participated in the mandatory walk-thru of February 1, 2007.
On February 12, 2007 all bids for the demolition and asbestos abatement for Block 36 and the former
Wimpey's Pawn Shop building were due. Three (3) bids were received.
Bids were received from three (3) construction/contractor companies by the February 12, 2007
deadline date. The bids ranged from $33,700 to $73,000 for the Wimpey's property and $147,496 to
$295.,800 for Block 36. The lowest bids were received from Interior Demolition Inc. at $33,700 and
$147,496 respectively. The breakdowns of the received bids are as follows:
Company Wimpey's Property Bid Block 36 Bid
Interior Demolition, Inc. $33,700.00 $147,496.00
Castlerock Environmental, Inc. $44.707.00 $264,230.00
J&G Industries, Inc. $73,000.00 $295,800.00
The Work that will be performed by the selected construction company will be under two separate
contracts. One contract will include demolition and removal of the 6 existing vacant commercial
structures, removal of the asphalt parking lot, grading to the site level and clearing of the site. The other
contract will include the demolition and asbestos abatement of the former Wimpey's property. During
the time of the abatement and demolition process, a City -hired environmental consultant and City
inspector will ensure proper work performance and handle daily contractual field issues. The City will
enforce the contractor's requirement to provide adequate site security, implement dust control, air
pollution prevention, and odor control measures to prevent the creation of dust, air pollution, and odor
during the period of operation. The site will be protected throughout the abatement and demolition
process. A screened fence and gate will remain in place to ensure safe passage around the demolition
area. The use of explosives will not be permitted for demolition. The contractor will be given a period
of 60 working days to complete both the abatement and demolition work under the contract. The
Contractor will also be required to be bonded, carry the requisite insurance and shall furnish proof
thereof, and will be required to indemnify the Agency and City.

Demolition Award for Wimpey's and Block 36
Page 3 of 3
The contractor will need to meet all the required federal, state, and local requirements, including Cal
OSHA, NPDES, and AQMD as designated in the project specifications. The project will be subject to
prevailing wage requirements. The two abatement and demolition bids were advertised separately for
each project; one for the 6 structures and other improvements on the Block 36 site and another for the
Wimpey's Pawn Shop. The demolition work is necessary in order to prepare the site for the
construction of the Block 36 Development Project, consistent with the DDA with the Developer.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
It is determined that the anticipated environmental impacts of the demolition project are not
substantial enough to warrant additional environmental review. The demolition project as proposed
would not result in any new significant impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant
impacts previously identified in the EIR for the General Plan and Development Code. The Addendum to
the General Plan and Development Code EIR for this project was adopted on May 1, 2006. The Notice
of Determination was subsequently filed on May 3, 2006 and posted with the County from May 3,
2006 to June 2, 2006.
The purpose of bidding the Wimpey's demolition separately from the rest of Block 36 project site
demolition is a result of the Agency utilizing tax-exempt bond funds for acquisition of all of Block 36,
exclusive of the Wimpey's site. The Wimpey's site was acquired with non -tax-exempt funds in order to
possibly realize a share of profits from the Developer per the DDA, once that project is complete/sold.
Since the remainder of the Block 36 properties were purchased with tax-exempt bond funds, such
properties cannot be included as part of the profit-sharing agreement between the Agency and the
Developer.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the project for demolition of Block 36 (not including Wimpey's Pawn Shop) is estimated at
$147,496 and has been budgeted in the FY 2006/07 Agency budget and will be drawn from the Tax
Exempt Bond fund account. The demolition cost for Parcel 8611-003-006 (formerly Wimpeys Property)
in the amount of $33,700 will be taken from the Non -tax-exempt fund account. Bond proceeds and
tax -increment funds have been budgeted in the amount of $300,000 for the project.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Agency Board authorize the Executive Director to execute a settlement
agreement with Giro Mazz, an existing business which is located within the King Ranch Market, in the
amount of $75,000.
BACKGROUND
In order to continue efforts to redevelop and revitalize the Central Business District area, in 2003, the
Agency adopted the Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan for the Merged Central Business District
and West End Redevelopment Projects. One vehicle for redevelopment is the assemblage of improved,
odd -shaped parcels,into a single, larger "squared -off" parcel. Such assemblage can have the economic
benefit of (a) eliminating any functional inefficiency or obsolescence caused by the "odd -shaped" nature
of a parcel, and (b) creating a larger parcel that can accommodate certain projects (i.e. community
shopping centers or mixed use developments) that smaller parcels would be unable to accommodate due
to their size. To that end, the Agency has acquired the real property located at 1 10-190 West 9`" Street.
The Agency entered into escrow for the purchase of the properties located at 1 10-190 West 9" Street
and 809 North Azusa Avenue in November of 2006. Prior to that time and subsequent to the opening of
escrow, the Agency has been working with the existing businesses to discuss the redevelopment goals of
the Agency and the protections afforded to each business under California Redevelopment Law. On
January 16, 2007, the Agency Board approved Settlement Agreements with the following tenants: Lucky
Choice Restaurant, Lozano Laundromat, P&A Beauty Salon, Alondra's Bakery, Central Video 93,
Community Garage, and Foothill Drug Company. Giro Mazz is an existing tenant located in the King
Ranch Market. Staff has now negotiated and a settlement agreement with this tenant.
SETTLEMENT/LEASE AGREEMENTS
The Agency procured the services of three qualified firms to assess the economic value of the business
with respect to Goodwill (California Commercial Appraisers), Relocation (Overland, Pacific & Cutler),
Fixtures and Equipment (Hjelmstrom &Associates). Based upon the values provided by the firms, Agency
staff then proceeded to negotiate an all inclusive settlement agreement with Giro Mazz.

AGENCY CONSENT ITEM
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND AGENCY MEMBERS
FROM: BRUCE A. COLEMAN, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
VIA: F.M. DELACH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2007
SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR REDEVELOPMENT CONSULTING SERVICES TO TIERRA
WEST ADVISORS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Agency Board approve an increase to the Tierra West contract for
redevelopment consulting services of $ 75,000, for a new total of $175,000, and authorize the
Executive Director to sign the contract amendment.
BACKGROUND
In March 2006, staff issued a request for proposal and qualifications for real estate advisory and as -
needed redevelopment consulting services. After review, staff selected RSG to provide these
services based on the qualifications of its principal, John Yonai, and senior associate, Jose Ometeotl,
and their overall experience in the redevelopment field. In August 2006, John Yonai formed a new
company named Tierra West Advisors, LLC, with Jose Ometeotl as an Associate. On September 5,
2006, the RSG contract was assigned to Tierra West in the amount of $100,000. Tierra West has
provided redevelopment advisory services for most of the Agency's active projects, including but not
limited to Block 36, Foothill Shopping Center, Downtown North, Ranch Market acquisition and
relocation settlement negotiations, and Wimpey's Pawn Shop settlement negotiations. Tierra West's
project management and assistance has been invaluable in furthering the goals of the Redevelopment
Agency. As of December 31, 2006, $22,000 remains in the contract.
Due to the extensive recent activity associated with the Agency's active projects, staff recommends
increasing the contract by $75,000 in order to cover the costs of these.services for five months
through June 30, 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT
Redevelopment consulting services have been budgeted on a project -by -project basis in the current
budget for the Downtown North, Block 36, Foothill Center, Northeast Corner of Azusa and Arrow,
and miscellaneous projects.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ANN GRAF
DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
VIA: F.M. DELACH /11/17
CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2007
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF 21 PERSONAL COMPUTERS FROM CDW-G
(COMPUTER DISCOUNT WAREHOUSE-GOVERNMENT) UNDER
WSCA (WESTERN STATES CONTRACT ALLIANCE)
RECOMMENDATION
1. It is recommended that the City Council waive formal sealed bids in
accordance with Azusa Municipal Code Section 2-523(e) due to the fact that
CDW-G is covered under the WSCA (Western States Contract Alliance)
agreement number A74401 , which allows cities to waive formal bidding, and
award the issuance of a Purchase Order to CDW-G in the amount not to
exceed $21,869.00.
BACKROUND
Each year the City's Information Technology plans for the rotation of computer
hardware. Since 1996 the staff has been rotating out and retiring antiquated
hardware. This effort has succeeded in standardizing PCs throughout all
departments.
The ongoing Information Technology equipment replacement plan is to address
areas with low-end computers, and realign PC replacement with PC life cycle
through annual equipment replacement. Given the high total cost of ownership
and the rapid obsolescence of the PC's, replacements were initially planned
over a 3 year life cycle. By relocating PC's and printers across departments and
users as we procure new systems, we have been able to achieve optimal us ge I
d..2740/(1/27'
Ci�
of the equipment and extend the life of the PC's to 4 years in most cases. Thus
on average one fourth of the City PC's, printers and servers need to be replaced
annually to keep performance and reliability to a minimum standard. These 21
PC's will be used in various departments.
FISCAL IMPACT
This expenditure is budgeted as part of the 2007 operating budget, equipment
replacement, 48499300007142.
