DELACH, CITY MANAGER jtitt9 DATE: May 14, 2008 SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING PORTIONS OF THE AZUSA DEVELOPMENT CODE CONCERNING VEHICLE PARKING AND STORAGE REGULATIONS, COMMERCIAL, OVERSIZED AND RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKING AND STORAGE REGULATIONS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND TEMPORARY SIGN AND TENT REGULATIONS RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council waive further reading, read by title only and introduce the attached ordinance entitled AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING PORTIONS OF THE AZUSA DEVELOPMENT CODE CONCERNING VEHICLE PARKING AND STORAGE REGULATIONS, COMMERCIAL, OVERSIZED AND RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKING AND STORAGE REGULATIONS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND TEMPORARY SIGN AND TENT REGULATIONS BACKGROUND The City Council created a committee known as the Azusa Citizens Committee for Code Compliance ("ACCFCC"). The ACCFCC was charged with reviewing the City's current development regulations and making recommendations to improve the Development Code. The ACCFCC made several Development Code amendment recommendations relating to recreational vehicle ("RV") parking and storage requirements, temporary signs and tent regulations. City Staff has taken the ACCFCC's recommendations and created the attached Development Code omnibus Ordinance. The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended the attached Ordinance at a public hearing held on April 30, 2008. DISCUSSION: The City of Azusa is currently in the process of amending many aspects of the Development Code in an effort to improve the general community and residents' quality of life. As part of this process, the City charged the ACCFCC with reviewing the existing development regulations and recommending proposed changes to improve the e)/14/ (/1 /V(' 1)1—/S —1— Development Code. The ACCFCC through consultations with the community and various City Departments created a list of proposed amendments to the Development Code. The attached Ordinance incorporates the ACCFCC's recommendations and amends a number of sections throughout the Development Code. The Ordinance amends Development Code Section 88.30.060(D)(3) by requiring all vehicles to be parked in paved areas. The Ordinance also, amends Development Code Sections 88.36.030(e) and 88.36.130 by creating more extensive RV parking and storage requirements. A single RV will be allowed to be parked on private property subject to certain limitations designed to ensure that the RV does not become a nuisance to neighbors and the community. During the Planning Commission's review of the RV parking provisions an issue arose regarding the setback requirements. As proposed by the ACCFCC RV's are required to be parked behind a sidewalk, or where there is no sidewalk, at least 8 feet from the edge of the curb or paved street. The Planning Commission amended the setback requirement in Ordinance Section 88.36.130(C)(2)(a) so that RV's would be parked 8 feet from the edge of the property line. The Planning Commission believed this amendment would limit those situations where RV's may block a driver's line of sight, thereby, increasing overall safety. Development Code Chapter 88.38's regulations regarding temporary and human signs are also amended by this Ordinance. The changes require certain temporary signs that were previously allowed without a sign permit to be authorized only with the approval of a sign permit by the Economic and Community Development Department. This change will give the City greater control over the placement of signs within the community. Additionally, changes to human sign regulations will result from this Ordinance. In recent years cities throughout the State have been confronted by problems associated with human signs. The attached Ordinance regulates human signs and requires them to be maintained in a manner that does not place the public at risk. The attached Ordinance also amends Development Code Section 88.42.020(E) by requiring tents and portable shelters to be kept out of the public view. City Staff and the ACCFCC believe that the changes contained within the attached Ordinance will improve the Development Code. FISCAL IMPACT: None.

DELACH, CITY MANAGER tit,1,,9 DATE: May 14, 2008 SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING PORTIONS OF THE AZUSA DEVELOPMENT CODE CONCERNING VEHICLE PARKING AND STORAGE REGULATIONS, COMMERCIAL, OVERSIZED AND RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKING AND STORAGE REGULATIONS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND TEMPORARY SIGN AND TENT REGULATIONS RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council waive further reading, read by title only and introduce the attached ordinance entitled AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING PORTIONS OF THE AZUSA DEVELOPMENT CODE CONCERNING VEHICLE PARKING AND STORAGE REGULATIONS, COMMERCIAL, OVERSIZED AND RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKING AND STORAGE REGULATIONS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND TEMPORARY SIGN AND TENT REGULATIONS BACKGROUND The City Council created a committee known as the Azusa Citizens Committee for Code Compliance ("ACCFCC"). The ACCFCC was charged with reviewing the City's current development regulations and making recommendations to improve the Development Code. The ACCFCC made several Development Code amendment recommendations relating to recreational vehicle ("RV") parking and storage requirements, temporary signs and tent regulations. City Staff has taken the ACCFCC's recommendations and created the attached Development Code omnibus Ordinance. The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended the attached Ordinance at a public hearing held on April 30, 2008. DISCUSSION: The City of Azusa is currently in the process of amending many aspects of the Development Code in an effort to improve the general community and residents' quality of life. As part of this process, the City charged the ACCFCC with reviewing the existing development regulations and recommending proposed changes to improve the o/a/81-d Development Code. The ACCFCC through consultations with the community and various City Departments created a list of proposed amendments to the Development Code. The attached Ordinance incorporates the ACCFCC's recommendations and amends a number of sections throughout the Development Code. The Ordinance amends Development Code Section 88.30.060(D)(3) by requiring all vehicles to be parked in paved areas. The Ordinance also. amends Development Code Sections 88.36.030(e) and 88.36.130 by creating more extensive RV parking and storage requirements. A single RV will be allowed to be parked on private property subject to certain limitations designed to ensure that the RV does not become a nuisance to neighbors and the community. During the Planning Commission's review of the RV parking provisions an issue arose regarding the setback requirements. As proposed by the ACCFCC RV's are required to be parked behind a sidewalk, or where there is no sidewalk, at least 8 feet from the edge of the curb or paved street. The Planning Commission amended the setback requirement in Ordinance Section 88.36.130(C)(2)(a) so that RV's would be parked 8 feet from the edge of the property line. The Planning Commission believed this amendment would limit those situations where RV's may block a driver's line of sight, thereby, increasing overall safety. Development Code Chapter 88.38's regulations regarding temporary and human signs are also amended by this Ordinance. The changes require certain temporary signs that were previously allowed without a sign permit to be authorized only with the approval of a sign permit by the Economic and Community Development Department. This change will give the City greater control over the placement of signs within the community. Additionally, changes to human sign regulations will result from this Ordinance. In recent years cities throughout the State have been confronted by problems associated with human signs. The attached Ordinance regulates human signs and requires them to be maintained in a manner that does not place the public at risk. The attached Ordinance also amends Development Code Section 88.42.020(E) by requiring tents and portable shelters to be kept out of the public view. City Staff and the ACCFCC believe that the changes contained within the attached Ordinance will improve the Development Code. FISCAL IMPACT: None.

DELACH, CITY MANAGERAo" DATE: May 14, 2008 SUBJECT: AN URGENCY AND REGULAR ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING NOISE SOURCE STANDARDS RECOMMENDATION: 1. It is recommended that the City Council waive further reading, read by title only and adopt the attached urgency ordinance entitled AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING NOISE SOURCE STANDARDS 2. It is recommended that the City Council waive further reading, read by title only and introduce the attached ordinance entitled AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING NOISE SOURCE STANDARDS BACKGROUND The City of Azusa ("City") recently adopted Ordinance No. 06-07 which amended, re-stated and re-codified the City's noise source standards. Since adoption of Ordinance No. 06-07 it has come to the attention of the City's Code Enforcement and Police Departments that the new noise regulations require a 24 hour reading in order to determine a violation, as opposed to a shorter reading such as 5 minutes or 1 hour. Additionally, certain noise standard classifications were not carried over from the old regulations into the new regulations. The City's Code Enforcement and Police Departments routinely rely upon the omitted sections to preserve the public's safety, health and welfare. Thus, Code Enforcement and the Police Department are requesting the City adopt the new noise measurement standard and omitted noise standard classifications by urgency ordinance to allow for the immediate enforcement of the noise regulations. In addition to the urgency ordinance City Staff has prepared a "back up" ordinance that will be adopted under the normal process. This second ordinance will protect the City in the event the urgency ordinance is challenged. • DISCUSSION: California Government Code Section 36937(b) authorizes the City Council to adopt by a four- fifths vote an urgency ordinance which is necessary for the immediate protection of the public safety, health and welfare. During the recent re-codification of the City's noise source standard regulations the measurement standard was changed from a straight decibel scale (e.g., db(A)) to a 24 hour decibel scale (e.g., db(A) Ldn). This new measurement standard requires the City's Code Enforcement and Police Departments to take a noise measurement over a 24 hour period. This long period of time is okay for long term noise violations (i.e., a gas station's operations) however, it does not work as well for a shorter term noise violation (i.e., a house party at a residence). Therefore, City Staff would like the City Council to amend the noise standards to reduce the time requirement and allow greater flexibility in determining noise violations. Additionally, during the re-codification certain noise standard classifications were omitted from the new regulations. The omitted regulations related to: (1) motor vehicles; (2) equipment and machinery; (3) radios, phonographs, musical instruments or other devices; (4) loudspeakers and amplifiers for advertising; (5) public address systems; (6) animals and birds; and (7) construction noise. Each of these 7 omitted noise standard classifications prescribes certain regulations and criteria designed to ensure that the particular noise source does not become a nuisance to neighbors or the community. Without these noise standard classifications the City's Code Enforcement and Police Departments are unable to preserve the public's safety, health and welfare because they are unable to issue citations that they previously issued when the 7 omitted noise standard classifications were in the Azusa Municipal Code. Therefore, they are asking the City Council to re-adopt the omitted noise standard classifications and allow for their immediate enforcement through an urgency ordinance. In addition to the urgency ordinance City Staff has prepared an identical "back up" ordinance for adoption by the regular process. This "back up" ordinance will protect the City if the urgency ordinance is challenged because the "back up" version of the ordinance will have taken effect. Thus, only actions taken or citations issued during the 30 day gap between the effect of the urgency ordinance and the "back up" ordinance will be vulnerable to potential challenges. FISCAL IMPACT: None. Attachment: Urgency Ordinance relating to noise standard classifications Regular Ordinance relating to noise standard classifications -2- ORDINANCE NO. 08-03 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING NOISE SOURCE STANDARDS WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 36937(b) authorizes the City Council to adopt by a four-fifths vote, without following the procedures otherwise required for the adoption of an ordinance, an urgency ordinance which is necessary for the immediate protection of the public safety, health and welfare; and WHEREAS, the City of Azusa ("City") adopted Ordinance No. 06-07 which amended, re-stated, and re-codified the City's noise source standards; and WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 06-07 contained noise regulations that required a 24 hour measurement in order to determine the existence of a violation and omitted certain noise standard classifications that the City's Code Enforcement and Police Departments routinely rely upon to preserve the public's safety, health and welfare; and WHEREAS, the City's Code Enforcement and Police Departments have requested that the noise measurement be reduced below 24 hours and the omitted noise standard classifications be re-adopted by the City Council to protect the public safety, health and welfare of the City's residents; and WHEREAS, it is necessary for the noise standard classifications to take effect immediately to protect the public safety, health and welfare because the City's Code Enforcement and Police Departments are being confronted daily with the types of violations contained in the omitted noise standard classifications; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. FINDINGS. The City Council finds that the adoption of this urgency ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety due to the nuisance conditions that arise in the absence of these regulations. The City Council incorporates each of the recitals provided above into this section as further findings in support of the adoption of this urgency ordinance. SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS.

Where Director determines that a proposed project may generate noise in excess of any limit established by Sections 46-405 and 46-407, and/or where the use may generate noise in outdoor areas in excess of 60 db(A), the land use permit application for the use shall include an acoustical analysis by a qualified professional approved by the Director. 9 (1) Contents. The analysis shall determine the potential for stationary source noise impacts to neighboring land uses, include field measurements to determine more precise locations for existing and projected future noise levels (based on traffic projections in the circulation element of the general plan or as otherwise accepted by the city), and recommend appropriate mitigation measures. (2) Preferred mitigation measures for receptor sites. When development is subject to high noise levels requiring mitigation, the following measures shall be considered and preference shall be given where feasible in the following order: a. Site layout, including setbacks, open space separation and shielding of noise sensitive uses with non-noise-sensitive uses; b. Acoustical treatment of buildings; or c. Structural measures such as constructed of earth berms and/or wood or concrete barriers; provided that no sound wall shall be located adjacent to a public street." SECTION 15. VIOLATION.
