• The City Council of the City of West Covina does resolve
as follows:
WHEREAS, the City Council on December 12, 1977, adopted
a Specific Plan.of the City entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE COMMUNITY
PARK SPECIFIC PLAN ON SHADOW OAK DRIVE. (Resolution
No. 5596)
WHEREAS, upon adoption of Resolution.No. 5596, a "full
activity lighting" designation was inadvertently omitted from the
official Specific Plan document for a community park on Shadow Oak Drive.
WHEREAS, the City of West Covina, unaware of this technical
omission, proceeded to implement a development program in accordance
with the written contents of the Specific Plan which.designated field
lighting as part of the Plan.
WHEREAS, during implementation of the approved Specific Plan,
the City discovered the omission of the field lighting designation on
the Plan Map and determined it necessary to amend the Specific Plan
Map; and
• WHEREAS, investigation and study of the proposed amendment
shows that:
1. The Shadow Oak Park Specific Plan is consistent with the
City's General Plan policy for development of a community
park in Woodside Village.
2.
The proposed amendment to the Specific Plan Map is consistent
with the General Plan Environmental Quality Element which
adopts, as a goal, the provision of "full activity lighting"
in all City parks where a demand for such lighting warrants.
3.
The proposed amendment designating "full activity lighting"
on the Specific Plan Map is currently designated and pro-
vided for in the written content of the Shadow Oak Park
Specific Plan prepared by Kammeyer, Lynch and Partners.
4.
A number of project modifications have been made to mitigate
lighting and glare impacts to surrounding residents and to
reduce the noise generated from field activities to an
acceptable level.
5.
Implementing the athletic lighting program will not induce
an increase in crime activity and the security lights will
aid public safety personnel in securing the park during
•
unauthorized hours.
6.
The proposed amendment to revise the Specific Plan Map could
not have.a significant effect on the environment and therefore
a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact has been
prepared.
•
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission
of the City of West Covina does hereby recommend to the City Council
