AN 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, pursuant to the provisions of Section 65858(a) of the California
Government Code, of the State of California, the City Council on June 30, 1992,
adopted Ordinance No. 1906 establishing requirements for the establishment and
operation of adult oriented businesses and declaring the urgency thereof; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 65858(a) of the Government Code, Ordinance
No. 1906 was adopted as an interim measure for a period of no longer than 45 days;
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 65858(a) of the Government Code, after notice
and a public hearing, the City Council on August 4, 1992 extended the Interim
Ordinance for a period of ten months and fifteen days; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 65858(a) of the Government Code, after notice
and public hearing, the City Council may, by a four -fifths vote, extend the Interim
Ordinance one final time for a one year period; 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 that adult oriented businesses 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 potentially pose a
threat to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of West Covina if, indeed, such
a zoning ordinance is warranted and, therefore, intends to adopt this Ordinance
extending Ordinance No. 1906 pursuant to Government Code §65658; 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 May 22, 1993;
and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the City Council on June 1, 1993, 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
1, 1994, pursuant to Section 65858(a) of the Government Code.
