AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE WEST
COVINA MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING THE OFFICIAL
ZONING MAP (Zone Change No. 635 - W.F. Biewers).
• WHEREAS, there was filed with the City a verified application
on the forms prescribed in Chapter 26, Article VI of the West
Covina Municipal Code, for the reclassification from;
"Office -Professional" to "Service -Commercial" (Exhibit 1)
on that certain property generally described as follows:
Assessor Parcel No. 8443-020-034, as shown on the latest maps
of the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor's Office; and
WHEREAS, after considering the proposed request in a duly
advertised public hearing on December 5, 1990, as prescribed by
law, the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina recommended
that the City Council approve said zone change; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of West Covina has considered
evidence presented by the applicant, the Planning Department, and
the Planning Commission, and other interested parties at said
public hearing held on January 14, 1991; and
WHEREAS, the oral and documentary evidence considered in
connection with the application reveal the following facts:
1. The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from
"Office -Professional (O-P)" to "Service -Commercial (S-C)".
2. This zone change application is submitted in conjunction with
and is contingent upon approval of a request for a variance
for substandard lot size, width and depth.
3. The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan
of the City.
4. Findings necessary for approval of a zone change are as
follows:
a. There are changed conditions since the existing zoning
became effective to warrant other or additional zoning.
b. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect
adjoining property as to value or precedent and will not
be detrimental to the area.
C. A change of zone will be in the interest or furtherance
of the public health, safety and general welfare.

d. The approval of such a change of zone will not adversely
affect the comprehensive General Plan so adopted by the
City.
• e. The approval of such a zone change is consistent with the
General Plan or applicable specific plans.
WHEREAS, based on the evidence presented to the City Council,
both oral and documentary, the City Council finds as follows:
a. The subject site was developed in 1963 under the
"Restricted -Professional (R-P)" zone classification.
When the existing zone classification of
"Office -Professional" was established in March of 1968,
all land in the "Restricted -Professional" Zone was
transferred to and included in the
"Office -Professional" Zone. With the subsequent
establishment of the "Service -Commercial" Zone
classification, properties adjacent to the subject site
to the east and south were granted a change in zone
classification to "Service -Commercial" to permit the
development of office and retail commercial uses. The
subject site remains under the restrictive
"Office -Professional" zone classification while
surrounding properties maintain zone classifications that
permit retail and service commercial uses.
b. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect
adjacent property as to value or precedent and will not
be detrimental to the area. The subject application does
not propose any alterations to the existing development
on the subject site. The change of zone will bring the
zoning of the subject site into conformity with zoning to
the east and south and will permit retail and service
commercial uses of a higher intensity at the site. The
uses permitted under the proposed zone classification are
similar to uses permitted in the surrounding commercial
areas. The proposed zone change will not adversely
affect the "Single -Family Residential (R-1)" zoned
property to the north, as it is developed with a water
pumping station.

Ora. No. 1869
ZC 635 - Biewers - Page 3
C. The proposed zone classification will permit those retail
and commercial uses that are permitted in the
"Service -Commercial" zone. Due to the location of the
• site and the proximity and visibility from a principal
arterial, Azusa Avenue, retail and service commercial
uses are appropriate for the site. The proposed zone
classification will permit a wider variety of uses than
those allowed under the existing "Office -Professional"
zoning classification.
d. The granting of this zone change will create consistency
between the zone classification and General Plan land use
designation of "Service and Neighborhood Commercial".
The zone change will act to aid in the implementation of
the goals and policies of the General Plan which call for
uses and facilities to serve the residents of the City
and strengthen the employment and economic base within
the City.
e. The proposed zone change from "Office -Professional (O-P)"
to "Service -Commercial (S-C)" is consistent with the
General Plan land use designation of
"Service and Neighborhood Commercial".
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina,
California, does ordain as follows:
SECTION NO. 1: Based on the evidence presented and the
findings set forth, the above Zone Change No. 635 is hereby found
to be consistent with the City's General Plan and appropriate for
the proposed development concept and the land uses permitted within
said zone classification.
SECTION NO. 2: A Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact
has been prepared in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended.
