ORDINANCE NO. 660
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD EXTENDING THE MORATORIUM CREATED
BY ORDINANCE NO. 658 ON ISSUANCE OF BUILDING AND
OTHER PERMITS FOR CERTAIN USES OF PROPERTIES
WITHIN SPECIFIED AREAS OF THE CITY AND DIRECTING
THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO INITIATE A STUDY WITH
RESPECT TO THE PROPER ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN
LAND-USE DESIGNATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. While this extension of Ordinance No. 658 remains in effect, no
building permits shall be issued and no applications for subdivisions,
rezonings, land use permits, variances, or design reviews shall be accepted for
construction of improvements, other than repairs and corrections necessary to
secure public safety, with respect to the properties within the City of
Rosemead described in Exhibit "A" hereto, which is incorporated herein by this
reference.
Section 2. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 65858 of the Government
Code of the State of California, this is an urgency interim zoning ordinance.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately and shall expire ten months and
fifteen days thereafter unless extended by the City Council after notice and
public hearing. The facts constituting the current and immediate threat to the
public welfare necessitating an urgency ordinance are as follows:
• The property. described on Exhibit "A" is predominantly utilized for single
family dwelling purposes. The City has received several requests for
multi-family apartment development which appear to be inconsistent with the
existing adjacent single family land uses. Those inconsistencies include
but are not limited to, increased density, increases in on-street parking,
traffic, and congestion in the surrounding area. Accordingly, there is a
current and immediate threat to the public welfare, and the approval of
subdivisions, rezonings, land use permits, variances, design reviews, and
building and business licenses for such uses would result in a threat to
the public welfare. The City Council finds that development of the
property with uses and densities presently permitted by its present zoning
would result in a threat to orderly development of the City.
Section 3. The Planning Department and Planning Commission are directed to
conduct a study of the appropriate zoning and General Plan Land-Use Designation
for those properties depicted on Exhibit "A".
• Section 4. The City Council may grant relief from the provisions of this
moratorium ordinance upon recommendation of the Planning Commission, subject to
a finding of the following:
1. The strict application of the provisions of the moratorium to a
particular project or property would result in practical difficulties
or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purpose and
intent of the moratorium; and
2. That there are exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to
the proposed development that do not apply generally to the other
projects covered by this moratorium; and
3. That the granting of an exception would not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare as defined above.
Section 5. If any provision of this ordinance is held to be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, it is the intent of the City Council
that such portion of this ordinance be severable from the remainder and that
the remainder be given full force and effect.

any provision of this ordinance is committed, continued or permitted,
