WHEREAS, the proposed zone change maintains consistency between the General Plan

WHEREAS, said zone change application is requested to allow for the development of
parking facilities on lots of 17,406 square and 19,806 square feet; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon giving the required notice, did on the 9°i day
of January, 2001, conduct a duly noticed public hearing to consider the subject application for a
zone change, at which time the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 01-4663,

01-4664 and 01-4665 approving the associated applications of Precise Plan No. 884 and Variance

WHEREAS, studies and investigations made by the City Council and in its behalf reveal the
following facts:
1. The applicant (Amat Tajudin, EBTA Architects) is requesting approval of a zone
change from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-C).
2. Findings necessary for approval of a zone change are as follows:
a. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect adjoining property as
to value or precedent and will not be detrimental to the area.
b. A change of zone will be in the interest or furtherance of the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
• C. Approval of such a change of zone will not adversely affect the comprehensive
General Plan so adopted by the City.
d. Approval of such zone change is consistent with the General Plan.
WHEREAS, based on the evidence, both oral and documentary, the City Council finds as
follows:
a. The proposed zone change from the existing "Open Space" classification to
"Service Commercial" will be compatible with existing character of the "Freeway
Corridor" and of uses near the project site. The property is located adjacent to the
San Bernardino Freeway and is not an appropriate site for a park or natural area.
b. The "Service Commercial" Zone is a zoning designation that will serve to assist in
provision of non-residential uses that will ensure a strong economic base for the
City of West Covina. Additionally, the change of zone will allow for the
• development of the vacant property that has no benefit to the City in its present
condition. As such, the zone change will further the general welfare of the City and
its residents.
c. The proposed zone change will not adversely affect he City of West Covina General
Plan because the General Plan Designation for the site is "Service and
Neighborhood Commercial". The proposed zoning is in conformance with the
General Plan designation.
d. The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan which currently
designates the subject properties as "Service and Neighborhood Commercial".
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina, California, does hereby
ordain as follows:
SECTION NO. 1: Based on the evidence presented, and the findings set forth, Zone Change
No. 669 is hereby found to be consistent with the City's General Plan and the land uses
permitted within said zone classification.
SECTION NO. 2: Pursuant to requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) of 1970, as amended, the project is a Class 4 Categorical Exemption (Section
15304: Minor Alterations to Land)) since the project consists of grading and the installation
of parking facilities and does not include the construction of any structures.
SECTION NO. 3: The City Council does hereby approve Zone Change No. 669 (Exhibit
A), changing the zoning designation of said property to "Service Commercial" (S-C).
SECTION NO. 4: The City Clerk shall certify as to the passage of this Ordinance and shall
