WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon giving the required notice, did on the 91h
day of January, 2007, conduct a duly advertised public hearing as prescribed by law to consider
said application; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did, upon giving the required notice, on the 61h day of
February, 2007, conduct a duly advertised public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said

WHEREAS, based on the evidence presented to the City Council, both oral and
documentary, the City Council finds as follows:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the City's General Plan policy for development
of a community park.

Element which adopts, as goals, the provision of "adequate recreational facilities and
programs for the citizens of West Covina and "the periodic evaluation of the facilities in
parks."
