CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Azusa
finds and declares that since October 3 , 1983 , and at various
times prior thereto, the interim City Administrator and the
Director of Planning and Community Development have been
studying the adequacy of Title 19 (Zoning) of the Azusa
Municipal Code with respect to uses serving alcoholic bever-
ages on the premises, except for uses serving alcoholic
beverages on the premises in connection with a bona fide
restaurant or eating place. The study is reviewing the
adequacy of current code provisions with respect to said
uses' parking facilities, other facilities within the struc-
ture, the relationship of the uses to other uses such as
churches, residences and schools and other planning and
zoning concerns . The study was generated by citizen com-
plaints and it is contemplated that recommendations will
be made for changes in the current provisions of the Code
to correct problems being identified. Council action will
be required to evaluate the results of the studies of the
problem and to implement any recommendations developed there-
from.
SECTION 2 . Pending the conclusion of such studies
and Council action thereon, no land use entitlement, permit
(including building permit) , approval, zone clearance, or
other land use authorization shall be issued, nor shall
applications therefor be accepted, by the City of Azusa or
its officers, agents, or employees, relating to uses involving
the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises,
other than in connection with a bona fide restaurant or
eating place, except, however, a building permit may be
issued for minor alterations to existing structures where
the construction does not result in the expansion of the
capacity of the use.
SECTION 3 . Pursuant to Government Code Sections
36934 and 65858, the City Council of the City of Azusa hereby
declares this ordinance to be an urgency ordinance requiring
the immediate enactment thereof because the same is necessary
for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health,
safety and general welfare of the City and its citizens and,
accordingly, the provisions of this ordinance shall become
effective at once as an urgency ordinance. The facts con-
stituting such urgency are set forth in Section 1 of this
ordinance. In addition thereto, the City Council finds and
determines that the absence of this ordinance would create
a serious threat to the orderly and effective implementation
of any zoning or land use plans which may be adopted by the
Council as a result of said studies in that current develop-
ment of the affected properties would not be subject to any
such new plans and would perpetuate the zoning and land use
problems which such actions would seek to remedy.
SECTION 4 . Pursuant to Government Code Section
65858 this ordinance shall be effective for a period of
forty-five (45) days from the date of the adoption hereof,
provided, however, that after notice pursuant to said Section
65858 and public hearing, this ordinance may be extended
as provided for therein.
SECTION 5 . If any section, subsection, sentence,
clause, phrase or word of this ordinance is for any reason
held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of
Azusa hereby declares that it would have passed and adopted
this ordinance and each and all provisions thereof, irrespec-
tive of the fact that any one or more of said provisions
may be declared to be invalid.
SECTION 6 . This ordinance shall become effective
immediately upon its adoption.
SECTION 7 . The City Clerk shall certify the adoption
of this ordinance as an urgency ordinance.
SECTION 8 . 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 19th day of December
