SECTION 2. This ordinance is based upon the following findings: a. The Anoakia area is presently zoned R-O 30,000 con- sists of approximately 30.60 acres, and is contiguous to, is part of, and constitutes the lower southeast cprner of that - 1 - 1625 approximately 626 acre exclusively residential portion of the City of Arcadia known as the Upper Rancho, which is bounded by Michillinda Avenue, a secondary arterial street on the east, Orange Grove Avenue, a collector street on the north, Baldwin Avenue, a secondary arterial street on the east, and Foothill Boulevard, a major arterial street on the south. b. The 626 acre Upper Rancho area is unique in that it is used exclusively for single family dwellings, has a general plan designation of Single Family Residential 0 - 2 dwelling units per acre, and consiptent with said general plan d~signa- tion contains single family dwell ings on lots zoned R-O & D 30,000, averaging 33,925 square feet in area, containing substantial amounts of vegetation and style of development and homes with a value up to $298;000. Ii c. That in order to insure that buildings, :structures, signs and landscaping in the Anoakia area will be harmonious with the Upper Rancho Area of which it is a part and which is presently subject to the Architectural Design zone, and in order to insure that the Anoakia area is not obnoxious, undesirable or unsightly in appearance and thereby detrimental to the Upper Rancho Area, this Architectural Design Zone is necessary. d. the harmful (1) Avoid Upper " (2) Avoid That it is the purpose of this ordinance to prevent effects specified in Section 2 (c) above to: impairment of the benefits of occupancy ofl~isting Rancho residential properties; and I , impairment of the stability and value of both improved and unimproved real property in the Upper Rancho; and (3) Avoid prevention of the most appropriate use of the Upper Rancho; and (4) Avoid de-generation of the Upper Rancho area and therefore deterioration of conditions affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the Upper Rancho which deteri~ oration would deprive the City of Arcadia of tax revenues - 2 - 1625 which it otherwise could receive and destroy a proper balance in relationship between the taxabl~ value of real property in the Upper Rancho and the municipal services provided therefor. " e. On D?cember 20, 1977, a petition was submitted to the City with the signatures representing 16 of 17 property owners within the Anoakia area. This petition requested a zone change that would include the'Anoakia area in the "D" Architec- tural Design zone and make these properties a part of the Rancho Santa Anita Property Owners' Association. f. Approximately 20 acres of the Anoakia area are pre- sently undeveloped, containing much vegetation and many trees, except for the Anoakia Mansion, accessory buildings, a school, and recreational facilities. The remaining 10 acres of the Anoakia area consist of ten developed single family residences immediately contiguous to the north and northwest of the undeve- loped 20 acres, on lots averaging 30,000 square feet and,greater, and six single family dwellings in its southwest corner, ranging from 14,000 to' 36,000 square feet in area as shown on the Lot Map, attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and by this reference incorporated herein. Twenty-four lots and hom~s could be developed on the. undeveloped p~rtion of the Anoakia Area. g. Streets existing in the undeveloped portion of subject area are substandard. h. That R-O 30,000 & D zoning is the highest and best use of the Anoakia area consi~tent with present zoning classifications. i. That R-O 30,000 & D zoning will provide uniform zoning within the Anoakia area and Upper Rancho area; it will bring the zoning into conformance with the General Plan for the Anoakia area; the public convenience, necessity an~ general welfare justify the' above zone change; and it will provide economic and social advan- tages resulting from an orderly planned use of land resources. - 3 - 1625 SECTION 3.
