CANDACE TOSCANO ASSISTANT CITY CLERK f INFORMATION ITEM TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: ROBERT K. PERSON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER VIA: JOSEPH F. HSU, INTERIM CITY MANAGE`. � DATE: APRIL 18, 2005 " SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ENTERPRISE ZONE RECOMMENDATION There is no recommendation. This is provided as an information report only at the request of the City Council. BACKGROUND At its meeting in March, 2005, the City Council requested information regarding the establishment of a California State Enterprise Zone. The following is staff's response to that request. The Enterprise Zone Program targets economically distressed areas throughout California. Special state and local incentives encourage business investment and promote the creation of new jobs.

Lenders to Zone businesses may receive a net - interest deduction; ➢ Unused tax credits can be applied to future tax years, stretching out the benefit of the initial investment; ➢ Enterprise Zone companies can earn preference points on state contracts. Business Eligibility All businesses that are located in an Enterprise Zone are eligible for program benefits. There are 39 Enterprise Zones located throughout California. Enterprise Zones last 15 years from the original date of designation. Legislation controls the number of enterprise zones established in the State. The limit is 43 zones and that number has been reached at this time and there is no application process active at this time. Since enterprise zones only last for 15 years, it is expected that some designations will expire in 2006 prompting a new application process. Staff will stay in contact with the State Department of Housing and Community Development and return to Council when the application process is initiated. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact as a result of this report. However, implementation of an enterprise zone program would require the addition of one full-time equivalent for the management of the program in the Economic Development Division. This is based on a telephone survey of cities participating in the enterprise program. The position could be funded through a combination of general and redevelopment funds.

HSU, INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR lq � DATE: APRIL 18, 2005 V SUBJECT: ACQUISITION OF 726 N. DALTON AVENUE (RUELAS PROPERTY) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Agency Board approve the acquisition of the property located at 726 N. Dalton Avenue for the amount of $377,000. BACKGROUND On March 26, 2003, the City entered into an Option to Purchase and Purchase Sale Agreement with the Dora G. Ruelas Trust for the property located at 726 N. Dalton Avenue. On January 15, 2004, Amendment No. 1 amended the agreement, which was due to expire on December 1, 2004. On June 24, 2004, the City exercised the option agreement to acquire the property. The property is located within the Dalton Properties Acquisition Project site (formerly the new Azusa library project site). On March 15, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution 04-C26 which allows the Redevelopment Agency to use its funds to acquire real property located within the Dalton Properties Acquisition Project site, thereby allowing the Agency to purchase the property rather than the City. The subject property consists of an occupied 1,540 sf. single -story residential dwelling located on a 7,500 square foot parcel. The property was appraised for the Agency on August 5, 2004 for a fair market value of $354,000. The Ruelas Trust had a separate appraisal done which established a value of $400,000. The Agency Board authorized negotiation in January 2005. The Agency staff and property owners, Anthony Ruelas and Mary Ruelas, then negotiated a purchase price of $377,000, subject to Agency Board Chairperson and Members of Redevelopment Agency Board 726 N. Dalton Avenue April 18, 2005 Page 2 of 2 approval. Because Dora Ruelas has died, this acquisition may not be subject to any relocation or loss of business goodwill claims. FISCAL IMPACT This project will be funded with Redevelopment Agency fund proceeds carried over from the 2003-04 Agency Budget. The purchase price for this acquisition is $377,000 less $10,000 of the applicable General Fund option payment.

In an effort to implement the quality of the new Dr. Reyes Dental office project, Agency staff has been negotiating to assist Dr. Reyes with a loan.

Prepared by Sandra Ruiz ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CITY ZONING MAP TO RECLASSIFY PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 130 CANYON HEIGHTS DR., FROM "NEIGHBORHOOD GENERAL, MEDIUM DENSITY" TO SP -6 (MONROVIA SPECIFIC PLAN). ZONE CHANGE Z 2005-01 (APN 8608-003-270 and 8608-003-903) WHEREAS; the subject property is the site of an abandoned Azusa Light and Water reservoir (the Heth Reservoir) and related water facilities, including the terminus of the open channel portion of the Covina Canal, and WHEREAS, the Heth Reservoir site is owned by the Azusa Light and Water Department, who desires to sell the property to Azusa Land Partners, LLC, owner and developer of the Monrovia Nursery property, and WHEREAS; the subject property has been planned for the inclusion into the approved Monrovia Nursery project, and the entitlements for the Monrovia Nursery project, including the Development Agreement, contemplate the acquisition and addition of the subject property to the project, and WHEREAS, the zoning on the property is currently "Neighborhood General, Low Density", but the standards and provisions of the Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan (MNSP) need to apply to the subject property, necessitating this Zone Change, and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on March 2, 2005, and after receiving testimony, the Planning Commission closed the public hearing and deliberated regarding Zone Change Z 2005-01, to change the zoning from "Neighborhood General, Low Density" to "SP -6 (Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan)", and has recommended that the City Council approve the Zone Change, and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Azusa held a duly noticed public hearing on April 4, 2005, concerning this Zone Change carefully considered all oral and written testimony offered therein prior to acting on this Ordinance. NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That in accordance with the Azusa Municipal Code and State Planning and Zoning law, it is found that the Zone Change would not unreasonably interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in the vicinity, and would not adversely affect the public peace, health, safety or general welfare, provided that the conditions of approval are adhered to. The City Council makes the following findings: A. That the proposed amendment is consistent with the Guiding Principles of the General Plan Update and goals and policies of the existing General Pian. Guiding Principle #1 - Natural &Community Environment Vision: Protect the foothills, preserve natural habitat and terrain and integrate nature into future development and use. Enhance the existing fabric of Azusa neighborhoods with new development integrated into the rest of the community by open access and compatible neighborhood design: • Natural and historic flow of water enhances the area • Historic resources are preserved with the development • Public and private views are protected and development is compatible with surrounding neighborhoods and uses, including the Dhammakaya Retreat Center The subject property is a vestige of land not integrated well with the existing adjacent neighborhood, due to the difference in elevation. Adding this property to the Monrovia Nursery site, and integrating it with the plannedresidential neighborhoods of the Specific Plan would create a vastly superior development alternative, consistent with this Guiding Principle of the General Plan. Guiding Principle # 2 - Quality Neighborhoods & Homes Vision: Maintain Azusa's family-oriented community identity by offering a diversity of home ownership opportunities, reflecting traditional neighborhood patterns: • Dominant housing type is single-family detached homes attractive to middle and upper income home buyers • Architectural styles and features draw on historic patterns and scale • High quality construction, home design, and neighborhood amenities promote well-being and maintain value. Adding the subject property to the future development of the Monrovia Nursery project is consistent with this guiding principle, as it would provide residential housing opportunities as part of a planned environment promoted by the Specific Plan. Land Use Goal 1 Provide for a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space, meeting the need of existing and future residents and businesses. Combining the subject property with the Monrovia Nursery site would create great opportunities for the future residential development of the subject property to be part of the integrated mix of land uses and great walkable neighborhoods envisioned by the Monrovia NurserySpecific Plan. B. That the proposed zone change will not adversely affect surrounding properties and is reasonable related to the public welfare of the citizens of the City and the affected area: An Environmental Impact Report for the Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan and entitlements was cerdfiedbytheAzusa City Councilon213/03 (5CH2O02071046) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. Future development of the subject property would be subject to the terms and conditions of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 54057, and the Monrovia NurserySpecific Plan, and the E/R mitigation measures, as stated in the DevelopmentA,greement. As part of the Final Environmental impact Report, it is clearly stated that the Specific Plan's environmental reviewincludes subsequent actions that implement the Specific Plan including, but not limited to the terms of the Development Agreement. On january24, 2005, the City ofAzusa prepared an addendum to the E/R based on subsequent further development of the drainage master plan that revealed the need for additional debris basins to protect downstream property. With respect to the subject site, the proposed Zoning Map amendment would accommodate the inclusion of the subject property in the Montarra project, thereby providirgan integrated approach to site development. As a result, access of the future development of the subject site would be eliminated to Canyon Heights Dr, thereby enhancingandpreservingitsexistingneighborhoodcharacter. SECTION 2. The Zoning Map of the City of Azusa is hereby amended to reflect the change in zoning for the property located at 1 130 Canyon Heights Dr. from Neighborhood General, Medium Density to SP -6 (Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan) for the property known as the Heth Reservoir site. SECTION 3. An environmental impact report for the Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan and entitlements was certified by the Azusa City Council on 2/3/03 (SCH 2002071046) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. Future development of the subject property would be subject to the terms and conditions of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 54057, and the Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan, and the E1R mitigation measures, as stated in the Development Agreement. The proposed Zone Change request was reviewed, and is determined to be consistent with the Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan. As a result, no additional environmental review related to the proposed amendment is necessary to be conducted. SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify the passage of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be published in compliance with the Azusa Municipal Code. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this day of _, 2005.

CITY ATTORNEY VIA: JOE HSU, INTERIM CITY MANAGER n DATE: APRIL 18, 2005 SUBJECT: REMOVAL OF TERM LIMITS FOR CITY BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBERS RECOMMENDATION: The City Attorney recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance. titled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE II, SECTION 2-32(5) OF THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE, REMOVING TERM LIMITS FOR APPOINTED CITY BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBERS." BACKGROUND: The appointment and removal of City board and commission members by the Mayor and City Council is authorized by California Government Code Sections 36506 and 40605. Currently, Section 2-32(5) of the Azusa Municipal Code allows City appointed board and commission members to serve only two terms in their appointed position. During a recent City Council workshop, a concern was raised regarding removing knowledgeable and experienced appointees solely because of term limits. The City Council is concerned that at a time when the City is involved in numerous projects, appointing new members stalls these projects because new members must familiarize themselves with both the process by which projects are presented to their respective boards or commissions and the projects themselves. Concurrently, many City boards and commissions are experiencing vacancies, making it difficult for the boards and commissions to establish a quorum to conduct official business. Staff believes that removing term limits for City appointed boards and commissions will allow appointees to serve on their respective board or commission provided they are re -appointed by of the City Council. Removing term limits will also enable the City to move forward with its projects in a time efficient manner because their progress will not be stalled due to new appointees familiarizing themselves with the projects. This Ordinance amends Section 2-32(5) removing term limits for appointed city board and commission members. FISCAL IMPACT: None. —t— ORDINANCE NO.

The limit is 43 zones and that number has been reached at this time and there is no application process active at this time. Since enterprise zones only last for 15 years, it is expected that some designations will expire in 2006 prompting a new application process. Staff will stay in contact with the State Department of Housing and Community Development and return to Council when the application process is initiated. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact as a result of this report. However, implementation of an enterprise zone program would require the addition of one full-time equivalent for the management of the program in the Economic Development Division. This is based on a telephone survey of cities participating in the enterprise program. The position could be funded through a combination of general and redevelopment funds.
