What this form is
Azusa's Economic and Community Development Department requires a Planning Application for design review, use permits, variances, ADUs, and similar discretionary approvals. When the applicant is not the property owner, the Owner's Affidavit section must be signed under a notarial acknowledgment confirming the owner authorized the application, protecting the city from unauthorized filings against a parcel.
Who needs it
Property owners, or their authorized agents, filing a discretionary planning or zoning application with the City of Azusa.
Why it needs a notary
The form includes a full California acknowledgment block ('before me... personally appeared... satisfactory evidence') that must be completed and sealed by a notary public.
