WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, EXTENDING AN INTERIM
ORDINANCE RELATING TO ADULT BUSINESSES ON PROPERTY
WITHIN ALL ZONES. (Urgency Measure)
The City Council of the City of West Covina does ordain
as follow :
SECTION 1: That the City Council of the City of West
Covina does hereby find, determine and declare as follows:
a. That Interim Ordinance No. 1722, was adopted on
June 23, 1986, to allow a sufficient period of time
for the City's Planning Department and Planning
Commission to make a complete study and review as
to the precise nature of permanent zoning
regulations to be imposed in connection with adult
businesses in order to protect existing commercial
and residential areas in the City from adverse
downgrading and deleterious effects. Said interim
ordinance will expire on August 7, 1986, prior to
the conclusion of the study and review and the
adoption of such permanent zoning regulations; and
b. That this City Council has been advised that
certain adult businesses are not provided for in
the Zoning Code of the City and therefore are not a
permitted use in the City, although activities
related to operation of such uses are regulated by
other chapters of the Municipal Code; and
c. That pursuant to Section 65858(a) of the Government
Code, notice was given and a public hearing was
held on August 11, 1986, and testimony received
with respect to the extension of Ordinance No.
1722; and
d. That the present structure of the Municipal Code as
it relates to such uses could create unnecessary
confusion of efforts to reasonably control the
location and operation of such uses in the future;
and
e. That experience related to this type of use in
other communities has demonstrated that such uses
could have objectionable operations related to the
business and unrelated incidents which pose a
safety problem, public nuisance and adverse effects
on the surrounding community; and
f. That because of the nature of such uses it appears
that adequate controls are necessary to direct and
reasonably control the location and operation of
such uses and to insure compatibility of land uses;
and
g. That the public interest, convenience and
neccessity required that a more intensive study be
conducted by various Departments making it apparent
that an amendment will not be formulated prior to
the expiration of the urgency measure and that this
Ordinance be immediately adopted for the reasons
j above set forth.
SECTION 2: That notwithstanding any other provision of
the West Covina Municipal Code, during such time as this
Ordinance is in full force and effect, no person shall establish
or conduct, or permit to be established or conducted, an adult
business upon any real property located within the City.
