AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WEST COVINA PROHIBITING THE SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL USE OF PARCELS OF LAND WHICH ARE
CONTIGUOUS TO THE SAN BERNARDINO FREEWAY OR ITS
SERVICE ROADS WITHIN THE CITY OF WEST COVINA
PENDING THE COMPLETION OF A ZONING STUDY OF THE
AREA, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF TO TAKE
EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.
The City Council of the City of West Covina does ordain
as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of West Covina
finds that the proposed widening of the San Bernardino Freeway requires
a restudy by the City Planning Commission and the City Council of the
area contiguous to the freeway and its service roads for the purpose
of determining those uses of property which are compatible with the
freeway and existing uses which are contiguous thereto with particular
reference to the uses which should be permitted for parcels of land
which are too small to be used for the purpose for which the parcels
are presently zoned:
SECTION 2. On the date of the adoption of this ordinance
and for a period of 90 days thereafter the use of any parcel of land
which is contiguous to the San Bernardino Freeway or any of its
service roads for single family residential purposes is prohibited.
SECTION 3. This ordinance is necessary for the protection
of the -public safety, health and welfare, is enacted pursuant to
Section 65858 of the Government Code and shall be effective upon the
date of its adoption.
The facts constituting its urgency are:
The acquisition by the State Division of Highways of land
necessary for the widening of the San Bernardino Freeway has resulted
in the creation of parcels of land contiguous to the freeway and its
frontage roads which cannot be used for the purposes for which they are
presently zoned because of size or development requirements. In order
that these parcels may be developed to acceptable standards and for
purposes which are consistent with the freeway and with the use of
adjoining property, the further use of land contiguous to the freeway
and its frontage roads for single family residential purposes should
be prohibited until a zoning study of the affected area can be com-
pleted and suitable controls established for the protection of property
and the protection of the public peace and safety.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage
of this ordinance and shall ',cause the same to be published as required
by law.
Passed and approved this 22nd day of November 1971.
