SECTION 2.
This Ordinance is hereby declared to be an urgency
measure and shall be in full force and effect immediately upon
its adoption. The facts constituting such urgency are as
follows:
Recent annexations to the City of Anaheim and areas
now under consideration for annexation and in the process of
annexation to the City of Anaheim have areas which are suitable
for estate type development and some of such areas have been so
zoned while in the County of Orange prior to annexation. The
City of Anaheim has no such zone which can be attached to the
properties for their protection and development, and the
imposition of any other type of zoning of the City of Anaheim
• would allow development with less rigid standards and such
development in these areas would be detrimental to the City
of Anaheim, the citizens thereof, and to the areas best suited
for development by estate type standards. In order to conserve
UAM
the values of properties in the City of Anaheim and to provide
for orderly development in those areas recently annexed to the
City, or presently being considered for annexation to the City,
it is essential that an estate type zone be established so that
such zone may be imposed upon those properties best suited for
development under estate standards.
That the adoption of this Ordinance as an urgency
measure is necessary for the immediate preservation of the
public peace, health, safety and public welfare.
SECTION 3.
The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this
Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published once within
fifteen (15) days after its adoption in the Anaheim Bulletin, a
newspaper of general circulation, printed, published and circu-
lated in said City, and immediately upon and after its passage
it shall take effect and be in full force.
THE FOREGOING ORDINANCE is approved and signed by me
this 19th day of March, 1963.
