A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING PUBLIC POLICY
WITH REFERENCE TO THE ORDERLY SUBDIVISION OF
PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF ARCADIA
WHERijAS, the City Planning crommlssion of the City of
Arcadia has fully investigated and considered the matter of the
orderly subdivision of individual lots within the City of Arcad1llt,
whereupon it did adopt its Resolution No. 155, entitled nA RESOLU-
TION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALI-
FORNIA, DECLARING PUBLIC POLICY WITH REFERENCE TO THE ORDERLY
SUBDIVISION OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF ARCADIAn; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has likewise considered the
matter set forth in said Resolution No. 155 and does hereby approve,
o:f the same;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
DOES DETERMINE, RESOLVE AND DECLARE AS FOLLC1tVs::
SECTION 1. That the rapid growth of the City of' Arcadia
has practically exhausted the large unimproved areas of' land norm-
ally available f'or subdivision; that f'uture subdivision wi thin the
City must necessarily be comprised of' existing lots too large for
retention as ,,~gle units but seldom. large enough individually to
allow proper subdivision; that the orderly planning and development
of' such parcels require the cooperation of' the resps ctive owners
and the encouragement and assistance, so f'ar as may be proper and
legal, of' all governmental agencies having jurisdiction.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to the foregoing, it is hereby de-
clared to be the policy of' the City Council to f'oster the order~y
development and proper planning of' areas to be subdivided. To this
end this Cotmcil will encourage, without partisanship, the collec-
tive subdivision of' all adjacent parcels properly includable under
one plan or within one subdivision. To this end, this Council will

approve reasonable measures for the reimbursement of a subdivider
of the costs incurred by him in subdividing property, when such
costs are incurred at least in part for the ultimate benefit of
properties not embraced within such subdivision; that the proper
development of many areas requires the installation of improvements
out of proportion to the property presently being subdivided, and
that adequate prevision should be made for the eventual spreading
of such improvement costs over areas actually benefited thereby
when and if such other areas desire to and are ready to avail
themselves of such benefits.
SECTION 3. To accomplish the foregoing, this Council will,
as a matter of policy, require in connection with all future subdi-
visions that properties not within such subdivisions, but abutting
improvements made therein at the cost of the subdivider and to be
dedicated to the public, shall be precluded from access to or use of
such improvements by (1) the granting of intervening property in fee
to the City of Arcadia, or (2) granting intervening property in trust
to an impartial corporate title holder upon such conditions as the
City Council shall find and determine to be fair and equitable to
such subdivider, to the owners of adjacent properties and to the in-
habitants of the city generally, or (3) by such other or further means
as may be lawful and proper. In furtherance of this policy and for
the purpose of facilitating the inclusion within a given subdivision
of all property that may be available for inclusion therein, the City
Council will cause timely notice of all determinations, to be made
within the scope of the policy hereby declared, to be sent to the
owners of all parcels of the properties deemed by the City Council to
be in any way benefited by the improvements to be constructed therein,
unless such notice shall have been given by some agency of the City
Government.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of
this Resolution.
