CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 19, 1969
The City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, met in regular
session in the Council Chamber of the Arcadia City Hall on August 19,
1969, at 8:00 P.M.
Councilman Robert J. Considine
Mayor C, Robert Arth

On MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Helms and
carried unanimously the minutes of the regular ~eeting of August 5,
1969, were APPROVED. Councilmen Butterworth and Considine abstained
from voting as they were absent from said meeting.
Mayor Arth presented placques to John F. Lillicrop and Raymond D. Godfrey
in appreciation of their contribution to the City while serving on the
Personnel Board and the Planning Commission respectively. Mr. Lillicrop
is leaving the city and Mr. Godfrey has been appointed to the Personnel
Board.
This matter continued from the regular meeting of August 5, 1969. Appeal
filed by Robert F. Kleckner from the decision of the Planning Commission
in its denial of his application for a conditional use permit for the
remodeling of facilities at 218 E. Huntington Drive.
The Planning Director summarized in part as follows: that the Commission
had initially denied the application as it felt the request was too far
from compliance with the Municipal Code; that the reasons therefor were
listed in its Resolution No. 677 ( on file in the Planning Department and
in the office of the City Clerk). However, the Planning Department staff
had recommended approval subject to conditions set forth by the Director
of Public Works and placed further conditions which would bring it as near
to code requirements as possible including the removal of the asphalt and
replacement with concrete on Huntington Drive; but waived the surface
drainage controls and the underground utilities. He commented that the
light standards, although above the minimum requirements, could remain.
The Hearing remaining open the applicant stated in part that he had been
uninformed concerning certain regulations at the time he filed his appli-
cation and recited the areas in which he could comply; he would screen
the restrooms and the storage area, but to replace the asphalt paving
(sidewalk and curb) with concrete would be so costly, especially inasmuch
as he looks to the day when he can rebuild the entire facility. He intends
to spend close to $5000 for the requested improvements; that during the
last few days he has discussed the matter with the Director of Public Works.
It was noted that the position of the City has changed and it is now
willing to withdraw the requirements relating to street side landscaping,
underground utility installation and the height of the light standards.
The main problem being the sidewalk and the apron. Extensive discussion
held On those items with the applicant reiterating his objections and
hesitancy about expending that amount of money at the present time.

No one else desiring to be heard it was MOVED by Councilman Hage,
seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried unanimously that the
hearing be CLOSED.
Following individual viewpoints of the Council and an indicated desire
to assist the applicant in,the upgrading of his property, it was MOVED
by Councilman Butterworth that the conditional use permit be granted
on the following conditions: that the drive-in business comply with
all conditional use and zoning regulations except those relating to
conditions as they apply to Third Avenue and further that the require-
ment for underground utilities, side street planting, height of the
light standards and nuisance drainage be deleted; parkway improvements
be limited to that frontage abutting that portion of the lot occupied
by the restaurant, and all conditions recommended by the Director of
Public Works shall be applicable, except as modified herein.
I
During the ensuing discussion Councilman Considine observed that the
provisions of the regulatory ordinance concerned him; that it seemS
to curtail improvements to a property; that in the main the applicant
has chosen to improve with paint and a little decorative trim and finds
himself confronted with other requirements necessitating increased
expense. Councilman' Butterworth commented that there is a lot to be
said along that line, but that in his opinion the staff had gone a long
way toward ameliorating a difficult situation; that perhaps Mr,
Considine's observations could be studied at a later date.
Further discussion held on the absolute need for the replacement of the
entire sidewalk at this time and Councilman Hage MOVED to AMEND the
PRIMARY MOTION; To delete the requirement for the replacement of asphalt
in the parkway, however, the concrete apron is to be replaced. Motion
seconded by Councilman Considine and carried on roll call vote as follows:

The Director of Public Works remarked that any improvement within the
length of Huntington Drive would be subject to the State Division of
Highways, as permits must be obtained from that agency for any work on
a state highway.
Mayor Arth asked that pursuant to comments made by Councilman Considine
that the Planning Director submit same to the Commission for recommendatio
on the existing ordinance and amendments thereof, So that this particular
situation may be approached in a different light in the future.
The Planning Director reviewed the conditional use permit granted the
Ford Leasing Development Company for the improvement of its facility at
55 W. Huntington Drive, and of the request by the applicant for modification
of regulations concerning height of light standards. He noted that the
department has reviewed the light standards on the site and believes the
requested 20' height would be reasonable and would decrease the number of
standards to about half.

Mayor Arth declared the hearing open and William Langstrom, speaking for
the applicant, explained the lighting system and stated in part that the
metal arc lights are designed for maximum intensity and would meet the
Council's concern about the reflection of excessive light onto nearby
residential properties. Following discussion concerning the placement of
the light .standards, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Hage,
seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously.
Having reviewed, studied staff reports and the plan..submitted by the
applicant, it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman
Hage that the recommendation of the Planning Commission, as contained in
Resolution No. 678, be APPROVED and that metal arc light standards not
exceeding 20' in height be permitted.
Councilman Helms referred to the diagram indicating parking of used and
new vehicles along both Santa Clara Street and Huntington Drive; and
stated in part that.to him this appears to be excessive use of frontage
property for display; that, although recognizing the need for such
display in the subject business, he felt the esthetics of the city require
a certain limiting factor which does not appear to be evident in the pro-
posed plan. He suggested that a portion of Santa Clara Street be landscaped
with perhaps two foot high shrubs to break the prolonged effect of the dis-
play area. He also referred to the code requirements for lighting and the
number of standards necessary; that without expert testimony he could not
see how the requirement could be waived and expressed concern about the
reflection of the lights toward the residential section of the area.
Discussion ensued on conditioning the variance to the extent that a
limitation of standards could be imposed and vesting the staff with
complete authority and responsibility to see that the residents are not
disturbed. Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth that the
primary motion be AMENDED to limit the number of light standards to 34
as indicated on the submitted plan and that the applicant be expressly
required to conform to the direction of the Director of Public Works and
the Planning Director in the matter of direction and shielding of lights
and any other matter pertinent to the proper use thereof. Motion seconded
by Councilman Hage. Roll call was then taken on the main motion as
amend ed :

"'In voting 'No' Councilman Helms stated "I would like to condition my
vote on two basic grounds - one is the lighting. I think there should
be something uniform in the City. I see nothing special or differential
between this particular applicant and many other uses that exist within
the city as far as the lighting is concerned, and secondly as far as
the plan itself is conce~ned, I think it fails to:take into account the
esthetic values and the development of the city and I think some shielding,
screen~ng or differentiation should exist on Santa Clara Street. I am in
favor of the proposed devaopment, I think it is excellent and something
that should go forward, but I think that the applicant is thinking primarily
of itself and not necessarily of the city on this particular point. On
those two grounds, I vote No.1I
Mayor Arth asked that the remarks made by Councilman Helms be relayed to
the Planning Commission and Department for investigation of the difference
in the code standards such as lighting for parking lots and display areas.

Appeal filed by the E. F, MacDonald Shopping Bag Food Stores, Inc.,
from the decision of the Planning Commission in the denial, without
prejudice, of its application for division of property at 1407 S.
Baldwin Avenue (southwest corner of Baldwin and Naomi Avenues).
Continued Reasons for the appeal were set forth in the communication dated
cL:..t ~,.'...L July 25 and made a part of these proceedings.
:;XV'- .-~.,,~
;C7 The Planning Director explained that the Commission considered the
application at two regular meetings, finally denying it because it
beli~ved the odd-shaped lots precluded the use of the land for any
other use should the shopping center be removed at some future date;
that if the lots were consolidated into regular lot lines it would
be more suitable. He advised that the applicant had submitted new
plans to the Department which had not been reviewed by the Commission.

Proj~cted diagrams of the original plan were explored with locations
of the proposed two major tenants (Sav-On Drugs and Shopping Bag
Food Stores) along with two minor tenants. The ownership of the four
parcels would remain in four separate names. The land-locked parcel
with improvements was indicated under ownership of Hinshaw's. It
was noted that this was an illegal lot split. The new plan was then
revi~wed which deleted one lot and consolidated two others with an
easement leading from Naomi Avenue to the Hinshaw's building. The
Director of Public Works suggested making it a condition of any approval
that this easement be legally described and submitted to him. The
Planning Director advised that the Department recommended approval of
the new plan, but reiterated that the Commission had not seen the new
proposal.
I
DiScussion ensued on the new configurations and specific conditions
which would be the responsibility of the Planning Commission in the
balance of the development. It was the consensus of Council that
the development will be of far reaching consequences to the commercial
and ~conomic topography of West Arcadia and should have every considera-
tion on the part of the Commission and Council. Whereupon it was MOVED
by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried
unanimously that the matter be referred back to the Commission on the
theory that Council is requesting its advice and recommendations on the
new proposal. The Planning Director will place it on the agenda for
the Commission's August 26 meeting. Therefore the hearing was continued
until September 2.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 479 recommending the amendment of
certain sections of the Municipal Code relating to accessory buildings
and the ratio between lot sizes and lot coverage. Section 9220.69
defines a rear yard - as a yard extending across the full width of the
lot between the main building and the rear lot line. The depth of the
required rear yard to be measured from the rear lot line. Sections
9251.2.8 and 9252.2.11 defines accessory buildings with a total floor
area not exceeding 50% of the ground floor area of the main building
and may be constructed in a rear yard providing the combined area of
all buildings does not exceed 45% of the total lot area and further
providing that any such accessory building located in a required rear
yard shall occupy no more than 25% of such rear yard, No accessory
building is to exceed one story or 16' in height. No accessory building
is to be located in any side yard within 3' of any rear lot line or
within 10' of any other building.
I
The Planning Director summarized his report and amplified upon the
contents by presenting to Council the major factors and reasoning of
the Commission concerning the recommended standards.
Mayor Arth declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard
the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, s,econded
by Councilman Hage and carried unanimously.

During the deliberations Councilman Considine stated in part that in
his opinion the standards are too restrictive in view of current
building practices and questioned the purpose of the recommendation.
He continued that he agreed with the intent that there should be some
type of restriction so the buildings could not become dwellings, but
when it is realized that accessory buildings include patio covers,
pool lanais, garages, work shops, hobby shops, guest houses, stables -
all permitted uses - it is like saying a property owner has to have a
very large house in order to enjoy the privileges of a pool, a cabana
and the like, or you have unfairly treated him with respect to the
person with the larger home, i. e., the restrictions could be more
stringent on an owner of a small home than that of a larger home on
the same sized lot.
The Planning Director stated in part that the Commission expressed
concern with the proliferation of minor accessory buildings throughout
the city; that they.could be subject to use as family units thereby
destroying the residential environment.
Councilman Helms, Council liaison to the Commission, stated in part
that the recommendation takes into consideration two factors - one
of the total area of the accessory buildings and the other is the
method by which the rear lot line is to be measured - this being a
departure from the existing code. He continued that accessory buildings
could become rental units and transform an area without the benefit of
legal process under the present code, that the figure was not absolute
but rather an arbitrary one, however, it does represent the consensus
of the Planning Commission and staff through the experiences of review
of many such applications through the years; that there is a closed-in
feeling in some of the areas where there is no open space left.
Discussion ensued on the recommended limitations and on some of the
terminology of the proposed amendment, following which it was MOVED
by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Butterworth that
Resolution No, 679 be referred back to the Planning Commission for
restudy and to ascertain if there is another approach possibly completely
different which would accomplish the same purpose without preventing
property owners from having the normal anticipated use of their land.
Councilman Helms stated in part that he could not vote for the motion
as stated, however, the motion carried on a majority vote of the Council.
It was agreed by Council that when a Councilman acts as liaison to a
particular board and/or commission he gains respect for the judgment
,thereof, having heard the evidence, deliberations and decisions which
in the main are upheld by Council.
The appeal filed by Jack L. Wadsworth from the decision of the Planning
Commission in its denial of his application for permission to construct
an accessory building at 264 W, Pamela Road was CONTINUED pending the
,
further recommendation of the Planning Commission as requested by Council.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 680 recommending the denial of an
application filed by the Standard Oil Company of California for a change
of zoning to permit oil exploration and production in all zones. The
Planning Director explained that it was the thinking of the Commiscion
that such a text amendment would have the effect of revising all of the
city's zoning protection; that the drilling would tend to destroy the
residential environment; that concern was expressed over the height
of the structures and when drilling was undertaken the noise, traffic,
shipping problems, and the general incompatibility of land usage. He
concluded by stating in part that the Commission also believed that it
would not be proper to permit exploratory drilling without committing
the city to allow oil extraction if it were discovered. It was noted
,
that the Commission had a split vote on the denial.

With the concurrence of the Council that it is not a proper use in all
Zones, it was MOVED by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman
Considine and carried on roll call vote as follows, that it be the
sense of this Council that the decision of a majority of the members of

It was noted for the record that the Parking Place Commission had I
recommended tax rates for the 1969-70 fiscal year -- that the maintenance
assessment be increased from 10 cents to 15 cents per $100 assessed
valuation. (It had been 10 cent maximum but a change in the State law
now permits a 5 cent increase). A 25 cent assessment for each $100
assessed valuation is recommended for the purpose of acquiring additional
parking and improvements (no change). Report dated July 22 and on file
in the office of the City Clerk. Be it noted that the tax rates are
included in Ordinance No. 1401 adopted at this meeting.
Council received report dated August 15, 1969, of the Director of Public
Works and the City Manager in which it w~s determined that certain
street maintenance work can be done more economically by the Department
of Public Works than by bidding procedures. Whereupon it was MOVED by
Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried on roll
call vote as follows, that the Director of Public Works be and he is
hereby authorized to proceed with the work pursuant to Section 1212 of
the City Charter (which exempts a maintenance project from bidding pro-
cedures upon a finding by Council that the work can be performed more
economically by a city department~ and that the sum of $17,546 be
A~PROPRIATED from unappropriated surplus account # 290 in the General

The City Manager summarized his report dated August 14, 1969, concerning
assessed valuations and disposition of a surplus estimate. It was
suggested that Council retain the $1.05 tax rate and recommended that
.)the surplus be placed in a restricted reserve for capital projects which
could be used as a revolving fund for investment in property in the
Chicago Park area for sale to prospective developers. The amount would
also be available should it be determined that supplemental funds are
required to complete needed water or other capital programs.
It was MOVED by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and
