IMPOSING A MORATORIUM PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858 RE-
LATING TO SETBACKS FROM PRIVATE
STREETS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds and determines that
it presently has no setback requirements for private streets,
but that the City municipal code does maintain a 20 foot
setback from public streets. Recently, developments have
started on a private street known as Live Oak Lane with many of
the setbacks at 20 feet, but with some far less than that;
(a) that it is important that the setback line be
established for construction purposes on private as well as
public streets in order to avoid hazards of traffic,
congestion, and line of sight;
(b) that pending before the Building Department at the
present time is a proposal for a 5 foot setback applied for by
SIMBURG Co.;
(c) that it is important to establish an immediate
control for setback on private streets for all the foregoing
reasons.
SECTION 2. There is hereby declared a moratorium on
all new construction, i.e., construction that has not yet
obtained a valid permit, which is set back at less than 20 feet
from private, as well as public streets, and all provisions of
the municipal code inconsistent hereby are suspended; the
Building Inspector is directed to issue no permits involving a
setback of less than 20 feet. In particular, the application
of SIMBURG for a permit of less than 20 feet setback is denied,
and this ordinance shall apply to such application.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage
and adoption of this urgency ordinance and shall cause the same
to be published according to law.
APPROVED and ADOPTED this 24th day of September 1987.
