Resolution - 9041R E S O L U T I O N N O. 9041 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AMENDMENT NO. 8 TO THE EAST HILLS SPECIFIC PLAN (Birtcher Senior Properties). O WHEREAS, the applicant, Birtcher Senior Properties, has filed with the City of West Covina a request for redesignation of land use as set forth in the East Hills Specific Plan from: "Fire Station and Library" 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 existing East Hills Specific Plan Designation for the site is inconsistent with findings made in the late 1970's in that a fire station is no longer deemed necessary on the site and a library is precluded due to inadequate funding; 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 higher 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 a General Plan amendment from "Suburban Residential (2.1-4.0 du/ac)" 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 East Hills Specific Plan Amendment does not conflict with and is consistent with adopted elements of the West Covina General Plan; and WHEREAS, approval of this East Hills Specific 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- 4198 recommending to the City Council adoption of East Hills Specific Plan Amendment No. 8; and WHEREAS, on January 4, 1994, the City Council of the City of West Covina conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider East Hills Specific Plan Amendment No. 8; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of West Covina has 4 considered the evidence presented by the applicant, the Planning Department, the Planning Commission and other interested parties at said public hearing held of January 4, 1994. 2133-93/A:EHSPA8CC.RES/bjc Resolution No. 9041 Birtcher Senior Properties East Hills Specific Plan Amendment No. 8 January 4, 1994 - Page 2 NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina, California, does resolve as follows: SECTION NO. 1: Based on the evidence, both oral and documen- tary, East Hills Specific Plan Amendment No. 8 is approved by the City Council of the City of West Covina, changing the land use designation for the subject property from "Fire Station/Library" to "Planned Development" (Exhibit 1) 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 adoption of this resolution.
