RESOLUTION NO. 6041
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA SUSTAINING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 98-002 (PARCEL MAP NO. 24947) AT 270
WEST ORANGE GROVE AVENUE
WHEREAS, Tentative Parcel Map 98-002 (Parcel Map No. 24947) was filed on
November 18, 1997 by Stryker Engineering on behalf of Rex Moore, request to
subdivide two lots into three lots at 270 West Orange Grove Avenue, more particularly
described as follows:
A portion of Lot 1 of Tract 948, in Book 17, Page 21 of Maps and Lots 1 and 2 of
Tract 10955,191/27-30 of Maps. Records of L. A. County.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on January 12, 1998, before the Planning
Commission at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard
and to present evidence; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia voted 5-1 to deny
said request; and
WHEREAS, on January 14, 1998, per Section 9600 of the Arcadia Municipal
Code the Mayor appealed the Planning Commission's denial; and
WHEREAS, on February 3, 1998 the City Council conducted a public hearing
concerning TPM 98-002, and considered all of the evidence presented including the
staff report and other submitted written materials.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY FIND AND DETERMINED AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Decision. Based on the findings set forth in this Resolution, the
appeal of the denial by the Planning Commission is not granted and Tentative Parcel
Map 98-002 is denied.
Section 2. Findings.
a. The applicant proposed three lots that all front on Caballero Road. None
of the proposed lots front on Orange Grove along the 300+ feet of Orange Grove
frontage. The applicant stated at the hearing that he did not want to consider any
subdivision that res'ulted in one or two of the lots fronting on Orange Grove.
b. The neighborhood is characterized by large lots that front on both Orange
Grove and the streets off of Orange Grove. From Oakmeadow Road to Santa Anita
Avenue, there is a lot fronting on Orange Grove with a range of approximately 87 feet
to 220 feet from each corner. The variety of lots facing both Orange Grove and the

various side streets enhance the compatibility and balance of the lots in the
neighborood.
c. The site is not physically suitable for the density of development based on
the configuration of lots submitted by the applicant because all three of the proposed
lots front on Caballero Road. This increases the concentration or density of Jots facing
this side street and disrupts the balance of lots facing Orange Grove.
d. The configuration of the proposed subdivision injuriously affects the
neighborhood wherein the subject property is located because of its unreasonable
impact on the compatibility and balance of lots in the neighborhood. This impact can
be mitigated by a revised configuration that provides for one or two lots fronting on
Orange Grove.
Section 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
Passed, approved and adopted this 17th day of, February, 1998.
