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.
