as may be hereafter amended, that certain Planning Study entitled
"A Preliminary Report on the Central Area Plan for the City of

ing or structure conforms with the criteria and uses proposed for
I
, the area thus approved by the Council.
SECTION 4. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued

ately preceding the issuance of such certificate of occupancy.
SECTION 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding
section, the City Council may authorize the issuance of a certificate

entitled "A Preliminary Report on the Central Area Plan for the City
of Arcadia, California," dated February, 1963, and on file in the

SECTION 6. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to Section
65806 of the California Government Code and is hereby declared oy
the City Council,to be necessary as an emergency measure for.preserv_
ing the public peace, ,health and safety, and shall take effect im-
mediately upon its adoption. The statement of the reasons for its
urgency is as follows: The studies thus far completed by and under
the direction of the City Planning Commission and the City Plannirg
Department concerning the area described in Section 2 of this ordi-
nance indicate clearly the necessity for the reclassification of
-3-
ll98
many of said properties and the amendment of and addition to the
zoning regulations effecting the same. That the purpose of such
studies, reclassification, and 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 com-
menced contrary thereto. It is therefore necessary that this ordi-
nance take 'effect immediately upon its adoption.
SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this ordinance and shall cause it to be publiShed once in the
official newspaper.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing ordinance was adopted
