NOTE: The City Planning Commission and the City Council recognize, and hereby declare, that the City of Arcadia is a component part of a large metropolitan area, within which larger areas are contained -8- 1001 ~ . ~ ~ A T ~ facilities l~hich in amount, location, physical ,characteristics and available services are preeminently suited for use by industrial enterprises; that all of the area contained within the corporate limits of the City of Arcadia is in relation to the said metropolitan area, and by reason of geography, topography and meteorological condi- tions, preeminently suited to residential purposes, together with such related commercial and light industrial uses necessary to serve the immediate needs of, the residential area; that the considerations which make the area of the City of Arcadiaso suited to residential purposes are the same conditions which make the same areas relatively unsuited to heavy industrial enterprises; that the County of Los Angeles, through the Regional Planning Commission, is successfully coordinating its own land use plans with those of the many cities comprising the metropolitan area, thus producing a metropolitan area- wide zoning plan; that should the City of Arcadia, by provisions of this ordinance or subsequent ordinances, make no actual provision for the location of heavy industries, such determination will not constitute prohibition, but rather would conform to comprehensive regu- lation on the metropolitan area basis. SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days from the passage thereof, shall cause the same to be published once in the Arcadia Tribune and Arcadia News, a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City of Arcadia, and thi~ty (30) days from and after the final passage thereof said Ordi~ nance shall take effect and be in force.
