The City Council declares this Ordinance to be an urgency Ordinance, for the immediate enactment hereof, and that the same is necessary to the public health, safety and welfare, and that the prohibitions imposed herein shall become effective at once as an emergency measure for the following reasons: a) That the present M-1 � regulations have manifested inequities and features inimical to the safety and welfare of the City. b) That the Planning Commission is conducting hearings and will, within the near future, forward its recommendations to the City Council regarding the foregoing and other modifications for community betterment. c) That to protect the public safety, health and welfare, it is essential that the erection of buildings and the commencement of uses which will become non -conforming under such prospective amendments and additions to the zoning ordinance be prevented. d)' The studies thus far completed by and under the direction of the City Planning Commission described in Section 2 of this Ordinance indicate clearly the necessity for the amendment of and addition to the zoning regulations effecting the same; that the purpose of such studies, amendments and additions to the zoning regulations will be seriously jeopardized and thwarted if prior to the effective date thereof buildings and uses may be erected and commenced contrary thereto. e) Said M-1 z zones as presently situated in the City of Irwindale are proximal to existing parks or single family dwellings, and to permit heavy industrial and commercial uses in such areas would deteriorate property value and frustrate the purpose and goals of the zoning ordinance.
