A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. I-94-21
(Birtcher Senior Properties).
WHEREAS, the applicant, Birtcher Senior Properties, has filed
O with the City of West Covina a request for a General Plan land use
redesignation from:
0
"Suburban Residential (2.1 - 4.0 du/ac)" to "Planned
Development"
on that certain property generally described as follows:
Assessor Parcel No. 8480-017-900, as shown on the latest
rolls of the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor; and
WHEREAS, the subject property was part of Easterly Annexation
No. 2 which was incorporated into the City in 1934; and
WHEREAS, the site has been considered for a number of land use
designations in the past including a fire station, library, and
single-family residences; and
WHEREAS, based on past land use trends experienced around the
site and social and economic factors, the site has evolved into an
underutilized infill property which lends -itself to a transitional
use between high intensity commercial uses to the north of the site
and low density single-family uses to the east of the site; and
WHEREAS, due to the size and some of the unique features on
the site such as an existing water well and related easements over
which development cannot occur, staff believes the "Planned
Development" designation is appropriate to ensure better land use
control while also allowing flexibility in developing the site; and
WHEREAS, consistent with this request, the applicant has
submitted a request for an East Hills Specific Plan Amendment from
"Fire Station and Library" to "Planned Development" and a zone
change from "Residential -Agricultural (R-A), Area District III" to
"Specific Plan No. 10" in order to develop a 51-unit senior citizen
condominium development; and
WHEREAS, the proposed General Plan Amendment does not conflict
with and is consistent with the adopted elements of the West Covina
General Plan; and
WHEREAS, approval of this General Plan Amendment would further
the goals and policies of the Housing Element to develop
underutilized infill sites with new housing alternatives; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 12-93-
4197 recommending to the City Council adoption of General Plan
Amendment No. 1-94-21; and
WHEREAS, on January 4, 1994, the City Council of the City of
West Covina conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider
