Ordinance - 1908URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 1908
AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, EXTENDING ORDINANCE NO.
1906 PURSUANT TO SECTION 65858(a) OF THE CALIFORNIA
GOVERNMENT CODE.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of West Covina adopted
• Ordinance No. 1906, establishing requirements for the establishment
and operation of Adult Oriented Businesses; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 65858(a) of the California
Government Code, Ordinance No. 1906 was adopted as an interim
ordinance for a period of no longer than 45 days; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said Section 65858(a), after proper legal
notice and conduct of a public hearing, the City Council may, by a
four -fifths vote, extend the Interim Ordinance for a period of ten
months and fifteen days; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is considering the adoption of a
zoning ordinance upon completion of its review of all relevant
materials to regulate any detrimental secondary effects from Adult
Oriented Businesses that it may find the City is potentially
exposed to; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes there is a possibility that
Adult Oriented Business may seek to establish themselves within the
City prior to such time as it may determine whether a zoning
ordinance specifically designed to regulate their secondary effects
is warranted; and furthermore, the Council believes such businesses
may pose a threat to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens
of West Covina if, indeed, such a zoning ordinance is warranted,
yet no valid regulation on Adult Oriented Businesses is in place
prior to its adoption and, therefore, intends to adopt this urgency
measure extending Ordinance No. 1906 pursuant to Government Code
565658; and
WHEREAS, completion of the review of all relevant materials
and preparation of a zoning ordinance addressing the secondary
effects of Adult Oriented Businesses will require approximately one
year; and
WHEREAS, a Notice of Public Hearing, pursuant to Section 65090
of the Government Code, to extend Ordinance No. 1906 was published
on July 25, 1992; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the City Council on
August 4, 1992, and it was found that without the extension of
Ordinance No. 1906, the potential exists for the establishment of
Adult Oriented Businesses within the City prior to establishing a
zoning ordinance to regulate their secondary effects.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina
hereby ordains as follows:
Section 1: This Ordinance is adopted extending Ordinance No.
1906 to June 29, 1993, pursuant to Section 65858(a) of the
