AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
THE WEST COVINA MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING
• THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP (Zone Change No. 612 -
Banks Development Corporation)
WHEREAS, there was filed with the City of West Covina a verified
application on the forms prescribed in Chapter 26, Article VI, of the
West Covina Municipal Code, for a change of zone from:
"Single -Family Residential Zone (R-1)", to "Neighborhood -
Commercial (N-C)" Zone
on that certain property generally described as follows:
Lots 19, 20 and 21 of Tract 11502, in the City of West
Covina, County of Los Angeles, State of California, as
recorded in Book 234, Pages 37 and 38, in the Office of
the County Recorder of said County; and
WHEREAS, after considering the proposed request in a duly
advertised public hearing on July 20, 1988, as prescribed by law, the
Planning Commission of the City of West Covina recommended that the
City Council approve said zone change application; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of West Covina has considered evidence
presented by the applicant, the Planning Department, the Planning
Commission, and other interested parties at a public hearing held on
August 8, 1988; and
WHEREAS, the oral and documentary evidence considered in
connection with the application reveal the following facts:
1. The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change from
"Single -Family (R-1) Zone (Exhibit 1)" to "Service -Commercial
(S-C)" Zone.
2. The proposed zone change is consistent with the general plan
designation of "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" and the
Westside Area Plan designation of "Neighborhood Commercial."
3. The subject zone change application was filed in conjunction
with Tentative Parcel Map No. 19774, Precise Plan No. 807, and
Variance No. 618.
WHEREAS, based on the evidence presented to the City Council
both oral and documentary, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The single family residential uses on the subject site were in
existence prior to World War II. Since that time changes in
character of the area, most notable the construction of the
San Bernardino Freeway, have impacted the area. The Westside
Area Plan, adopted in 1984, provides for a commercial area
fronting on Garvey Avenue adjacent to the San Bernardino Freeway.
The General Plan also calls for commercial uses in this area as
the highest and best use for the properties fronting on the
freeway.

2. The subject site falls within the Westside Area and is subject
to the Zoning Ordinance and the guidelines of the Westside Area
Plan. The Area Plan addresses issues and sets forth policies
specific to the Westside. The Plan was developed by a citizens'
committee in conjunction with City staff. The proposal meets or
exceeds the criteria established in the Zoning Ordinance and
Westside Area Plan and in doing so, will not adversely affect or
be detrimental to the area.
3. The proposed change of zone is in the interest of public health,
safety and general welfare as it will promote employment, add to
the tax base, promote economic stability in the community, and
protect the adjacent residential area from noise and traffic
generated on Garvey Avenue and the San Bernardino Freeway.
4. The granting of this Zone Change will not adversely affect the
General Plan, but will be consistent with the General Plan and
Westside Area Plan designations for the site. Additionally, the
zone change will act to implement many goals and policies within
the General Plan which call for uses and facilities which will
serve the residents of the City, and strengthen the employment
and ecomomic base within the City.
5. The proposed Zone Change from "Single -Family Residential (R-1)"
to "Neighborhood Commercial (N-C)" is consistent with the
General Plan designation of "Service and Neighborhood
Commercial" and the Westside Area Plan designation of
"Neighborhood Commercial."
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina,
California, does ordain as follows:
SECTION NO. 1: Based on the evidence presented and the findings
set forth, the above Zone Change No. 612 is hereby approved as
consistent with the City's General Plan and appropriate for the
proposed development concept and the land uses permitted within said
zone classification.
SECTION NO. 2: A Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact
has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act of 1970, as amended.
SECTION NO. 3: The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of
this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published as required by
law.
