PERMIT EXCEPTIONS TO CERTAIN FIRE ZONE RESTRICTIONS.
The City Council of the City of Azusa does ordain as follows :
SECTION 1. Ordinance No. 529, passed and approved the 21st

Section 1603 of said Building Code reading as follows :
' (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (b)
and (c) of this Section 1603, the City Council may, by
resolution, permit an existing non-conforming building to be
altered, raised, enlarged, added to or moved, subject to such
terms and conditions as the City Council may impose, upon
finding after consultation with the Chief of the Fire Depart-
ment and the Chief Building Inspector that any fire hazard or
fire danger will be diminished rather than increased by such
permitted alterations or other work. ' "

is to be performed.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of
this ordinance and shall publish the same as required by law.
