Ordinance - 1910ORDINANCE NO. 1910
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST
COVINA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE WEST COVINA MUNICIPAL
CODE, CHAPTER 5 (AMUSEMENTS), CHAPTER 26 (ZONING), AND
THE WOODSIDE VILLAGE MASTER PLAN TEXT, REPRESENTING THE
FIRST PHASE OF A CODE CLEAN-UP PROCESS TO UPDATE, CORRECT
• TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS, AND BRING CONSISTENCY AND
CLARIFICATION TO THE EXISTING MUNICIPAL CODE AND WOODSIDE
VILLAGE MASTER PLAN TEXT (AMENDMENT NO. 233 AND WOODSIDE
VILLAGE MASTER PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 6).
WHEREAS, the last comprehensive revision to the zoning code
occurred on April 25, 1977, when the City Council adopted Ordinance
No. 1333, which revised and recodified the West Covina Municipal
Code; and
WHEREAS, since that time, the City has responded to changes in
State law, emerging trends, City Council and Planning Commission
requests and other resultant inadequacies of the Code with
individual code amendments; and
WHEREAS, most of the inadequacies and inconsistencies of the
Zoning Code are primarily due to the antiquated nature of the text;
and
WHEREAS, due to recessionary revenue shortages and budget
cuts, the City lacks the personnel and funds to conduct a
comprehensive textual revision to the Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Department Staff, City Attorney and the
Police Department, determines and recommended to the Planning
Commission that a code clean-up amendment, entailing six (6)
different articles of the Zoning Code, two (2) sections of the
amusements code, and the Woodside Village Master Plan Text, which
reflect inadequacies and inconsistencies within the West Covina
Municipal Code, should be considered; and
WHEREAS, on July 27, 1992, the Planning Commission conducted
a study session and adopted Resolution No. 7-92-4097 initiating
Amendment No. 233 and directed staff to proceed with studies and
investigations relating to drafting an ordinance which would
represent the first phase of a clean-up to the West Covina
Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission upon giving the required
notice, did on the 22nd day of September, 1992, conduct a duly
advertised public hearing as prescribed by law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on September 22, 1992,
adopt Resolution No. 9-92-4109 recommending that the City Council
adopt Amendment No. 233 and Woodside Village Master Plan Text
Amendment No. 6; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of West Covina
considered evidence presented by the Planning Department, Planning
Commission, and other interested parties at a duly advertised
public hearing on the 6th day of October, 1992; and
WHEREAS, the oral and documentary evidence considered in
connection with the code amendment reveal the following facts:
1. A definition for a church has been drafted which, combined
with the legal requirement of obtaining an unclassified use
permit, will best give the City of West Covina the most
discretion and will promote clarity, when implementing the
Zoning Code.
Ordinance No.141O
Woodside Village Master
Plan Text Amendment No. 6
(Amendment No. 233)
October 6 - Page 2
2. Four (4) different Divisions within Chapter 26, Article VI.,
covering the appeal procedures have been amended to promote
. clarification, consistency, and ease of reference, to both the
hierarchy of the appeal procedures and departmental
procedures.
3. Certain modifications and deletions are necessary for the
findings required for a Sign Adjustment in order to bring them
into conformance with standard variance findings.
4. Certain modifications to the mansionization ordinance are
deemed appropriate at this time with regard to streamlining
the findings for a Large Home, Large Expansion and Maximum
Unit Size Exception, reducing the notification radius from a
1,000 foot radius to the standard 300 foot radius.
5. Due to the fact that the existing development within the
Woodside Village Master Plan area is already built to a
thirty-five percent (35%) Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.), the
maximum allowable size for this planned area is modified to
coincide with the fifty percent (50%) lot coverage development
standard.
6. Nonconforming garage size, and deficient side yard setbacks,
shall be brought into conformance with current R-1 development
standards in order to comply with the findings necessary for
approval of an application for a Maximum Unit Size Exception.
7. New construction adjacent to the nonconforming side yard
setback of the primary dwelling structure must conform to
existing side yard code requirements.
8. Specific language has been added to the section of the Zoning
Code regulating fences and walls, which will prohibit the use
of chain link fencing materials within the front yard setback
of residential property.
9. To better ensure compliance with the development standards and
conditions of approval related to pool halls and billiard
parlors, as contained in Chapter 5 of the Municipal Code,
these standards and conditions of approval are transferred to
Chapter 26 (Zoning), and shall be enforced by means of a
Planning Director's Modification review.
10. Specific language has been added to the section of the zoning
code regulating screening standards as they pertain to
satellite dishes and antennas, putting a three year time frame
on required landscaped screening materials to fulfill the
existing seventy-five percent (75%) screening standard.
11. The requirement of a Cabaret Permit for live entertainment, as
stated in Chapter 5 of the Municipal Code, is considered a
redundant permit, and is therefore deleted, as Article XII.,
Division 8. Dance Facilities, in Chapter 26, requires
businesses to obtain an unclassified use permit prior to
operating live entertainment activities.
• NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina
does ordain as follows:
Section No. 1: Based on the evidence presented and the
findings set forth, Amendment No. 233 and Woodside Village Master

The following Site Development Standards are intended to be
applied to all of the land uses developed in the West Covina
portion of Woodside Village. It is understood that new land
use concepts may evolve, subsequent to the adoption of this
Planned Community Ordinance, which may warrant Standards not
contemplated at the time this Ordinance, was prepared and
adopted. Amendments, additions, or deletions to these
Standards may be made, subject to the procedures defined in
the General Laws of the State of California and the City of
West Covina.
A specific Development Plan and Tentative Tract Map following
the site Standards for a conventional subdivision or custom
lot development may be submitted and approved by the Planning
Commission provided that such subdivision or custom lot
development would not be materially detrimental to the
surrounding developments.

Rear: Ten (10) foot minimum to property line,
provided there is a minimum of twenty-five (25)
feet between opposing structures. The Planning
Commission may approve a five (5) foot minimum to

odd shaped lots, structures, or subdivision design
make compliance with the ten (10) foot minimum
impractical. Detached garages and other accessory
structures are allowable intrusions into the
required rear yard.
Side: Five (5) foot minimum to property line, for
the first story of the main building, provided
there is a ten (10) foot minimum between opposing
structures with the exception that patio covers may

The yard area between the property line and any
wall in the side yard shall be landscaped and
maintained as a Condition of use by the homeowner.
The Planning Department has made the following interpretations
re: side yard setbacks in Woodside Village:
With respect to patio covers, said setback will be measured
from the supporting posts with an eave overhang into said side
yard as specified by the Uniform Building Code.
The requirements for ten (10) feet between structures will not
be required in the following situations:
a. In situations (such as Development Plan No. 1) where 5-
foot easements have been provided for open space use by
adjoining residents, a 3-foot setback shall be allowed
between structures and the side yard property line. In
this situation, the setback shall be measured from the
eaves and not the supporting posts for patio covers.
Supporting posts shall not be allowed in the easement.
All other structures shall be allowed to project up to
two (2) feet into the easement notwithstanding other
provision of the Woodside Village Master Plan Text
(mechanical equipment location, etc.)
b. In the situation of attached residences, there is no
setback requirement for interior units. However, the
location of patio covers or room additions on the side
yard property line will be subject to fire wall
requirements as required by the Uniform Building Code.
Patio covers or room additions may be located a minimum
of three feet from the side property line without a fire
wall so long as the eave projection is a minimum of two
feet from said property line.
A ten (10) foot minimum will still be required between
structures and side property line from unattached walls
or street side yards.
2. Walls, Fences or Hedges:
Walls, fences, or hedges not to exceed a maximum height of
eight (8) feet may be placed on side and rear property lines.
Walls, fences, or hedges, not to exceed eight (8) foot maximum
height, on reversed corner lots may encroach into the required
side yard to within five (5) feet of the street side property
lines.
