THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Other than plans with respect to which written application for a variance or a modification of one or more of the provisions of Chapter 2 of Article IX of the Arcadia Municipal Code had been filed with the City of Arcadia prior to April 2, 1963, no person shall deposit with the City of Arcadia either for filing or plan checking, nor shall any officer or employee of the City accept for filing or plan checking, any plan for any building proposed to be constructed in Zone R-3 in said City or for any dwelling unit or units proposed to be constructed in any zone less restrictive than Zone R-3, nor shall any officer or employee of said City hereafter issue a permit for the construction of any such bUilding, unless such plans and building comply with the regulations set forth in Ordinance No. 1202 of the City Council of the City of Arcadia introduced on May 7, 1963, which ordinance is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof by reference. SECTION 2. Nothing contained in this ordinance shall pre- clude the deposit with the City for filing or plan checking, or the acceptance by any City employee for filing or plan checking, or the issuance of a building permit, for any building which is in accord- ance with a variance from any of the provisions of Chapter 2 of -1- 1203 Article IX that has been granted and is still in effect, or in accordance with the provisions of said Ordinance No. 1202 and with all other provisions of the Arcadia Municipal Code as said provisions may have been modified with respect to such plans or building pur- suant to Division 2 of Part 9 of Chapter 2 of Article IX of the Ar- cadia Municipal Code. SECTION 3. That Ordinance No. 1200 entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, PROHIBITING THE FILING WITH OR ACCEPTANCE BY THE CITY OF ARCADIA FOR PLAN CHECK- ING OF PLANS FOR ANY BUILDING PROPOSED TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN ZONE R-3 IN THE CITY OR FOR ANY DWELLING UNIT OR UNITS IN ANY ZONE LESS RESTRICTIVE THAN ZONE R-3" adopted April 2, 1963, is hereby repealed. SECTION 4. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to Section 65806 of the California Government Code and Section 412 of the Ar- cadia City Charter, and is hereby declared by the City Council to be necessary as an emergency measure for preserving the public peace, health and safety, and shall take effect immediately upon its adop- tion. The statement of the reasons for its urgency is as follows: The City Planning' Commission has for some months, undertaken studies of the Zoning Ordinance of the City, has held hearings concerning the amendment thereof and has recommended changes of the Zoning Ordi- nance by changing the regulations applicable to construction in Zone R-3. That the City Council has held and concluded hearings on said resolution and said proposed amendments to the regulations in Zone R-3, has made determinations relative thereto and has incorporated such determinations in its Ordinance No. 120~ heretofore introduced. That the purpose of such studies, hearings and amendments will be seriously jeopardized and thwarted if prior to the effective date of any changes resulting from such studies and hearings buildings may be erected contrary to such recommendations and changes. On the -2- 1203 other hand proper building construction will be unnecessarily de- layed and undue hardship caused if Ordinance No. 1200 heretofore adopted be not amended or repealed as quickly as possible'. It is therefore necessary that this ordinance take effect immediately upon its adoption. SECTION 5. 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 at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Arcadia held on the 7th day of ',lay , 1963, by the affirmative vote of at least three Councilmen, to wit: AYES: Councilmen Balser, Butterworth, fl,;lbold, Turner and Phillips NOES: None ABSENT: ~JOno "ll"'..."r.Tr,.
