AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
PROHIBITING THE USE OF LAND IN THE CITY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OR ESTABLISHMENT OF CONDOMINIUMS.
The City Council of the City of Azusa does
ordain as follows:
WHEREAS, the City Council, to protect the
public health, safety, and welfare, is considering
a revision of the permissable uses of lands for con-
dominiums; and
WHEREAS, Section 65858 of the California
Government Code authorizes the adoption of an interim
ordinance prohibiting any usage of land which may
be in conflict with a contemplated zoning proposal
which the legislative body, planning commission or
planning department is considering or studying or
intends to study within a reasonable amount of time;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City
of Azusa does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any provision
now contained in Article IX of the Azusa Municipal
Code or elsewhere in said Code the use of any land
in the City for the purpose of constructing or estab-
lishing condominiums is hereby prohibited until such
time as the City Council determines whether the existing
provisions of the zoning regulations should be amended
to provide for such uses in order to protect the public
health, safety and welfare.
SECTION 2. The provisions of this Ordinance
shall not affect the present lawful use of land within
the City for condominiums, which use shall constitute
lawful non-conforming use.
SECTION 3. No building permit shall hereafter
be issued for construction or establishment of a condominium.
SECTION Li . This Ordinance is declared to be
an ordinance for the immediate protection of public safety,
health, and general welfare. The facts constituting the
urgency are as follows:
It has been revealed that the present
zoning regulations do not regulate the estab-
lishment, construction, alteration or enlarge-
ment of condominiums or any facility incidental
or appurtenant thereto. The matter is presently
set for extensive study by the Planning Commiss-
ion of the City. Since it is urgent that proper
regulations be established governing the use of
property for condominiums or any facility incidental
or appurtenant thereto in order to protect the
public health, safety, and general welfare, it
is essential that sufficient time be provided
to permit the Planning Commission to conduct such
study and hold public hearings in connection
therewith.
SECTION 5. This ordinance, being an emergency
ordinance for the immediate protection of the public safety,
health, and general welfare containing a declaration of
the facts, constituting the urgency and passed by a four-
fifths vote of the Council shall take effect immediately
upon its adoption.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to
the adoption of this ordinance and cause the same to be
published as required by law.
Passed and approved this20th day of July ,
