Prior thereto Mayor Hage remarked in part as follows: "I would like to thank the people of Arcadia for giving me the privilege of serving on the City Council and I want to thank my fellow Councilmen for honoring me as the Mayor for the past year. This has truly been one of the great experiences of my life. It has been a year of much satisfaction as well as a lot of frustration. The satisfaction is naturally from some of the projects we have been able to put together and the furthering of those started before I came to Council. Many of the frustrations came from the fact that there just are not enough hours in the day to do the job that you would really like to do." He then thanked the City Manager and his staff, the City Clerk and all of the city employees for assistance rendered him during his tenure. Also the pre'ss for its factual coverage which has helped to achieve goals set by the Council. Nominations were then called. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that he was pleased to place in nomination for Mayor the name of a person who in his opinion justly and richly deserves to serve in that capacity. That he (Mr. Butterworth) recalled' about ten years ago when this person sat in the audience at council meetings interested in the welfare of the community and doing everything he could with the power of logic and persuasion. That he has been a fine colleague on the council and serves quietly and effectively. He then placed in nomination the name of Councilman C. Robert Arth. The nomination was seconded by Councilman Considine. There being no other nominations, an unanimous vote was cast for Councilman Arth as Mayor for 1969-70. 4-15-69 - 1 - MAYOR PRO TEMPORE (Butterworth) RECESS ARTH HEARING (Robert s) /'V ,'~ 0j ,- HEARING (Conditional Use Permit) Vallone \ \!. t ~ ( 18:7442 Councilman Helms then stated in part that he was equally pleased to place in nomination the name of a fellow councilman who has dedicated much time and effort to the City. That there are two councilmen of equal stature and ability; that Councilman Considine has only recently served as Mayor and he was pleased to place in nomination the name of Councilman Edward L. Butterworth as Mayor Pro Tempore. The nomination was seconded by Councilman Considine, There being no further nomina- tions, an unanimous vote was cast for Councilman Butterworth as Mayor Pro Tempore. Following a brief recess for the purpose of reorganizing the seating arrangement of the City Council, the meeting reconvened. I Mayor Arth stated in part as follows: "I would like to thank the Councilmen for their confidence in me. I will do everything I can to justify that confidence. I will endeavor to make myself available just as former Mayor Hage did during his term." He then complimented the former Mayor on inaugurating the system whereby citizens were asked to submit their names if they were interested in serving on the various boards and/or commissions; that he hoped to carryon in this effort. Application of Daniel Roberts, dba B & R Auto Sales Company, for a business permit to conduct a used car sales lot at 400 E. Huntington Drive. It was noted in a report that the applicant specializes in high performance engines and corresponding automobile accessories attractive to younger persons. Mayor Arth declared the hearing open and the applicant presented himself to Council and in answer to a query stated in part the business is to be strictly used car sales; that the reference to high performance does not imply that there will be racing vehicles; that it applies to changing some of the equipment which appeals to the younger generation and that the cars will be positioned on the lot so that they will not infringe on the public right-of-way. No one else desiring to speak to the matter, the Hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously. It was then MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously that the application be APPROVED subject to the protection of the public right-of-way and in full compliance with the provisions of the municipal code. Planning Commission Resolution No. 675 granting a conditional use permit to allow the construction of two 4-story apartment buildings at 634-642 West Huntington Drive. At the Council meeting of April 1, 1969, a public hearing was scheduled for this date in order for the Council to review the matter on its own. Appropriate notices were mailed by the City Clerk with an affidavit therefor on file. I The Planning Director explored the topography of the land in question; that it is rectangular in shape with 135' frontage on Huntington Drive and 574' in depth; it is zoned C-O & D; that the 'D' regulations set forth in Resolution No. 3007 apply to the property only if it is developed for professional office purposes and not applicable to any residential use. He noted that staff used, the Zone R-3 and H regulations only for comparative reasons. He then explained the proposed develop- 4-15-69 - 2 - 18:7443 ment; that each building would contain 32 units with underground parking. All Class A structures, each with the same height and geometric design. He stated in part that the action of the Planning Commission in granting the application was not unanimous - five members voted in favor, one abstained and one ab'sent. project'urals were displayed to illustrate the proposed complex which revealed much open space. I The City Clerk read into the record communications, including one petition with signatures of 20 property owners, as listed' below, opposing the development based primarily on increased density of population, possible precedent for future improvements of the subject area which might generate school problems and deterioration of residential areas. James Coleman, 828 Hugo Reid Drive Paul R. Hackstedde, 333, W. Camino:Real John H. Saunders, 841 San Simeon Road William L. Stowell, 1822 South Seventh Avenue Petition signed by property owners on South Old Ranch Road and Victoria Drive. Mayor Arth declared the hearing OPEN and the following persons addressed Counc i1: IN PART Henry Hege, 550 W. Duarte Road, counsel for the applicant, Mike Vallone, reviewed the background of the subject area; in substance - that on February 4, 1964, Resolution No. 3642 was adopted granting a zone variance for the construction of an eight story apartment building on the property in question; that in July of 1965, an extension was granted for the filing of working drawings to February 4, 1966 - financing became an unsurmountahle factor and construction costs soared to the extent that the applicant could not proceed with the construction. He stated further that in October of 1965 Resolution No. 561 was adopted by the Commission and during the deliberations before the City Council he represented Mr. Vallone and pointed out that the area was peculiar in its aspects and location, being immediately south of the race track, adjoining the West Arcadia business section; that doctors had appeared stating in part that the area just was not practical for C-O development particularly in view of the traffic congestion during the race season. That after considerable deliberation the R-3 was left in the C-O zone. I Mr. Hege continued that immediately following this action a motion was made and carried requesting the Commission to institute proceedings for the proper zoning on the south side of Huntington Drive between Baldwin and Holly Avenues. However, that in March of 1967, Ordinance No. 1336 was adopted removing R-3 from C-O zone. He stated further that to his knowledge no discussion had been held concerning R-3 in this particular area until the filing of the subject application; that during the hearings before the commission the proposed development was extensively explored. The cost was estimated to be approximately two million dollars which would bring additional tax revenue to the city. The applicant intends to lease to families with children over fifteen years of age and felt that a precedent for future development would not be set -- it is on a busy thoroughfare and also is a one way street. In summation he stated that there were no objections at the Commission hearings; that up,to the present time there has been no showing of gross error with reference to the commission recommendation, and respectfully requested that the recommendation be upheld in order for the applicant to proceed. During his presentation, Mr. Hege stated in part that he doubted in his own mind if Mayor Arth could objectively vote on this matter after having previously stated his opposing view by means of a press publi- cat ion. 4-15-69 - 3 - 18:7444 Wayne Davis, 848 W. Huntington Drive, owner of identical property adjacent to the subject property, described in detail the purchase of his land and asked Council to consider all aspects in making its determination with regard to Mr. Vallone's application. John Sturgeon, 862 Victoria Drive, stated in part that he moved to the city due to its reputation of fine residential areas and its desire to remain that way...that a high density of population could be avoided and felt that the majority of residents are opposed to developments which would increase the population. He referred to the forthcoming General Plan with which he agreed and felt that the zoning should be reviewed as a unit in an endeavor to find out just what the residents desire. He also thought that high rise construction should go into the areas already zoned. I Joe Vallone, 830 W. Huntington Drive, asked why it appeared to be appropriate to build high rise in one area and not another when it would have the same effect on school enrollment. Oliver Green, 1305 Rodeo Road, stated in part that he was attending the meeting on his own volition, that he lives in the city because of its fine schools, its responsive and responsible city government; that he feels it is the most beautiful city in the state and is distinguished by the fact that there are less high rise facilities than in most cities. He felt that any additional revenues derived by the city from the pro- posed development would be taken up by the extra services. He urged denial of the application. Mrs. Hudson Roysher, 1784 S. Santa Anita Avenue, expressed gratitude for the privilege of living in a single family residential community, and especially for the open space to wit, the City Hall complex, county park, hospital, arboretum and the like. She urged Council not to approve any development more than two stories in height and to make every effort to maintain the open space atmosphere, which in her opinion, is unique in the world. Philip Davenport, 1303 S. Fifth Avenue, stated he has experienced this type of zoning controversy in other cities; that he chose Arcadia after having exhausted about 20 other communities, and hoped it would remain a city of homes. He suggested that Council take steps to upgrade the zoning of the subject property and urged denial of the application. Edward DaRin, 416 N. Altura Road, representing the Rancho Santa Anita Association, summarized the contents of a letter from the association, but not yet received by the City, in opposition to the project which it was felt would affect the city as a whole although the area he represents is removed from the specific location. In answer to an inquiry by Mayor Arth, Mr. DaRin stated the association did not take any action at its April 14th meeting in this regard. Ronald Bird, 406 Drake Road, President of the Santa Anita Village Community Association, but speaking for himself at this time, stated in part that he did not appear before the Planning Commission because he felt it was a question best decided by experts; that he has high regard for the Commission and its staff. However, he has a growing concern over the consequences of permitting a 4 story apartment building and spoke of possible density of population and precedent. He asked Council to consider that the city is now a peaceful uncrowded community and he would like to see it remain that way. I Neal Randle, 1131 Volante Drive, stated in part that he first became aware of the subject matter through the newspaper and felt he should 4-15-69 -4- 18:7445 express his feelings. He agreed with those opposing the project; that the city has a reputation for a certain type of apartments and the standard should not be changed to allow a 4 story building. Edward Stewart, 150 Woodruff Place, agreed with those opposing the application. I No one else desiring to speak and Mr. Hege declining the opportunity offered by Mayor Arth to so do, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried u~animously. Mayor Arth stated for the record that in matters where there could be a question of conflict he has always chosen not to enter the discussion or vote, that he feels strongly in this regard. That the only property he owns in the city is his home which is approximately two miles from the subject project. He noted that during his campaign for election to the City Council he stated definite views concerning maintaining the single family atmosphere of the city; that when Mr. Vallone's applica- tion to construct a two story complex came before Council he voted in favor of it; that he felt justified in publishing his letter concerning the matter; that he realized there would be a change in the city during ten or twenty years from now; that he felt duty bound to let his stand be known. Whereupon he asked the City Attorney whether or npt there would be any conflict on his part.. The City Attorney replied that in his opinion there is none. ' Councilman Hage commented that Mr. Vallone has an enviable reputation as a good builder, having made some excellent developments in the city; that there is no criticism of him whatsoever; that the subject plan is ,very well put together. He then referred to the forthcoming General ,Plan which hopefully will be completed by the end of the year; that he personally would prefer to withhold his decision until such time as it is anticipated the plan will reflect how the subject area shouM develop. Councilman Butterworth stated in part that a former Council was in existence at the time the zone variance was granted for the eight story building;that the late Councilman Balser a~d he voted against it, hence no one on this present Council has to overcome a contrary position although he should be able to do so should the occasion arise. He agreed with the stand taken by Councilman Hage; that the question of judgment is whether the proposed 4 story apartments will be a serious factor in population density and that the General Plan is to include some economic studies in determining just how Huntingtin Drive should be developed. He felt the project is well designed, that he could not see how,Council could vote for an R-3 project in a c-o zone and then not be committed to go along with similar usage should another application be filed. I Councilman Helms observed in part that during the past year in discussing the matter, with residents from all parts of the city there has been almost complete opposition to a concept of high rise and population density through extension of apartment areas; that in very limited instances have there been other expressions - that most of the residents with whom he has talked felt there is an over-abundance of land zoned for apartments now and that spot zoning might be detrimental or at least premature inasmuch as a General Plan for the entire city is in the making. 4-15-69 -5- 18:7446 Councilman Considine expressed concern that at the Planning Commission level no opposition was heard; that the Commission felt that the area of conflict does not lie in the height of the structure or in additional apartments because the subject property at one time was so zoned; that the only point of concern in his opinion lies in the density of the units. He noted that the proposed structure is 7' higher than the normal building permitted under C-O zoning and from listening to the discussions he gathered that the opposition is to increase of population and that density is the one problem to be considered at any future deliberations. Councilman Butterworth then MOVED to DENY the application and that the recommendation of the Planning Commission in its Resolution No. 675 be reversed. Councilman Hage seconded the motion, which was carried on roll call vote as follows: I AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Butterworth, Considine, Hage, Helms, Arth None None Brief discussion held with Mr. Hege concerning the possibility of the applicant re-filing with the Planning Commission without the required fee and whether or not an application for' a lesser complex would be considered, It was the consensus of the Council that it judges each application on its own merits. Reference was made to the minutes of the Commission of March 11, 1969, wherein following the motion to grant the conditional use permit it was MOVED to review the zoning of the south side of Huntington Drive between Baldwin and Holly Avenues. The Planning Director advised that at the present time staff is devoting itself to the GeQeral Plan, that time has not permitted the study as yet. Councilman Butterworth observed that he was not altogether unsympathetic with the position of the applicant; that land just cannot be sterilized; that there are mortgages and taxes to be met and in his opinion the applicant wants clarity and decision; that Council has an obligation to come to some conclusions; that landowners deserve the certainty of zoning in order to formulate plans for development. Councilman Considine commented that where a person has started action on development of land and the City removes the zoning during that time, there is some obligation to him. That it seems to him the applicant has a right to know just what Council would accept aQd he hoped the General Plan with its economic study would take into consideration that there are areas zoned for eight story buildings but which have not been successful through financing; that perhaps an eight story building is not within the economic limits which can be achieved successfully. Councilman Helms expressed the need for direction can be done with the increasing zone depth lots; discussions it indicated an area of uncertainty. concerning what that from the I Mayor Arth asked the City Manager to look into the overall problem and recommend to Council at an early date. 4-15-69 - 6 - I I CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS P ! fJV Pi ~~~r (}v' 18:7447 I I a. Planning Commission Resolution No. 673 granting a conditional use permit to Standard Oil Company of California for the remodeling of an existing service station at 500 ,N.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 668 granting a conditional use permit for the construction and operation of a restaurant at 815 S. Baldwin Avenue, listed as one of the conditions of approval the provision that the owner and applicant shall execute an irrevocable offer to dedicate a 20' alley along the southerly 20' of the parcel to provide for the future easterly extension of the alley lying westerly of the said location (Condition No.9). The owner of the property, Frank B. Myers, was present at this meeting and asked that said condition be deleted as the proposed lessee, General Foods Corporation, contends that the 20' easement made the property inadequate in size for the purpose of constructing and operating the Jax Roast Beef Restaurant. It was noted that the Planning Commission recommends the deletion; that adjacent property owners are not in favor of an alley which they feel would generate traffic and vandalism; that an alley could present problems for the police, fire, rubbish collection operation, and the like. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Rage, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously that Condition No. 9 be deleted as a requirement from Resolution No. 668. Mayor Arth ordered FILED the communication from the Arcadia Branch of the American Association of University Women concerning support of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (prohibiting discrimination on the basis of color, religion, or national origin in the sales, rentals and financing of housing).

I On April 12, 1968, the City Council granted the Foothill TV Cable Company a franchise to serve certain areas.
