Rev. Walter F. Dannaman, Pastor American Lutheran Church Mayor Dale E. Turner PRESENT: Councilmen Balser, Considine, Forman, Reibold, Turner the Minutes of the regular meeting of August 18, 1964 and the adjourned regular meeting of August 20, 1964 were APPROVED on MOTION by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously. Councilman Forman abstained from voting as he was not present at said meetings. Planning Commission Resolution No, 518 recommending the reclassifi- cation of specified property into Community Commercial and archi- tectural overlay and recommending the regulations to be imposed thereon under such Zone D. The area is bounded ,by the Santa Fe, Atchison and Topeka Railroad, Santa Anita Avenue and Huntington Drive, and is referred to in the Central Area Plan as the "Towne Centre". the Commission's recommendation had been before the City Council in public hearings on July 21 and August 4, 1964, the hearing portion having been closed on the latter date. the Planning Director summarized the'chronological background of the recommendation, stating in part that about four years have elapsed since the beginning of the proceedings for rezoning and upgrading the area. Councilman Forman expressed pleasure that the final determination is in sight; that in his opinion Council would be remiss if it departed from the original plan at this time and did not include all of the property indicated in the plan into C-C & D. Councilman Balser stated in part that the area had been in a declining stage and that in his opinion the City Council cannot afford to have a declining business area anymore than it can afford a declining residential area; that it is the City's responsibility to do all it can to upgrade the area which is the reason the consultants Wilsey, Ham & Blair were retained. He stated for the record that the Planning Commission, the Planning Department and the,Administration should be commended for its dedicated work and extensive public hearings which have gone into the matter; that now that it had reached the final stage he ,would agree with Councilman Forman that it should be accepted in its entirety. 1. 9-1-64 J t '(1 HEARING ZONING (C-l & D West Arcadia) .g / () :.f? 16:6349 Councilman Reibold expressed concern as to the timing of the rezoning and referred specifically to the small area known as the 'triangle' which is bounded by Santa Anita Avenue, the Railroad Tracks and Santa Clara Avenue; that there is a fundamental difference: the property owners north of Santa Clara Avenue do not want this change - the property owners south of Santa Clara Avenue do want this change; that he favors waiting until this specific area is needed in the develop- ment which in his opinion will end up in parking spaces; that in his opinion the area is not declining to the extent indicated. Councilman Considine stated in part that the City had committed I itself to the general rezoning; that the basic steps toward upgrading have been taken and that in his opinion preferential treatment should not be given to those above Santa Clara Avenue; that if hardship occurs, the City could under the plan grant variances in those instances which would permit recovery to the property owner. Mayor Turner stated in part that it is going to be some time before the entire area is needed for community center development and that with reference to the 'triangle' an opportunity for relief from the moratorium had been extended to the owners in the specific area which had not been taken advantage of and that in his opinion the impact on this particular area will not be as great as it might seem at this time. He expressed the hope that eventually all of the property in the area would be vital to the development and that with all the time, effort and money which has been expended that the benefit of the doubt must be given; that he was inclined to agree with Councilman Reibold that the area north of Santa Clara Avenue would be the last to develop under the proposed zoning. Councilman Forman MOVED that the recommendation of the Planning Commission in its Resolution No. 518 be accepted and that the proper- ties so indicated be placed in C-C & D Zone and that the City Attorney be instructed to draw up the appropriate ordinance for the zoning and a resolution imposing the 'D' regulations under said zone. Motion seconded by Councilman Balser. Councilman Reibold MOVED that the motion be amended to allow for the deletion of the area between Santa Anita Avenue, Santa Clara Avenue and the railroad tracks known as the 'triangle'. The motion was not seconded. Councilman Reibold then suggested that that portion of the primary motion relating to the 'D' overlay be amended. Discussion held on the time element involved; that the ordinance would be before the City Council on September 15 and at that time the 'D' overlay regulations could be considered for inclusion in a resolution. The ordinance would be before the City Council for final adoption on October 6 at which time the 'D' overlay regulatory resolution could also be adopted. . I The basic motion made by Councilman Forman and seconded by Councilman Balser was then carried unanimously. The 'D' overlay regulation will be discussed on September 15 as an agenda item. Planning Commission Resolution No. 525 recommending the reclassifi- cation of property known as 840, 842, 846, 852, 860 and 868 W. Duarte Road and 1206, 1210, 1212, 1218 and 1224 Golden West Avenue be placed in Zone C-l & D. 2. 9-1-64 I 16:6350 I The Planning Director advised that actually the subject matter involves two Planning Commission Resolutions, Nos. 525 and 531, although the public hearing noticed only Resolution No. 525. Projecturals were shown, the site and its boundaries indicated. The development would contain a major market and satellite shops on the periphery. He explained that there is C-2 zoning on the corner of Duarte Road and Golden West Avenue with R-3 in the remaining area. Color renderings and photographs were reviewed which reflected present improvements on subject property. He stated in part that the Planning Commission had included 26 conditions in its recommen- dation. Mayor Turner then declared the hearing open. Henry Hege', attorney for the applicant, addressed Council at length. He referred to the area within Arcadia and that in the County which is proposed to be annexed by the City and is presently being considered by the Local Formation Agency. He stated in part that 41,000 sq. ft. of the proposed shopping center has been leased; that the R-3 area surrounding the proposed shopping center would support the development; that over 4000 families have moved into a radius of a mile and a half since 1960; that the majority of the improvements now in the area are sub-standard and that the granting of the requested zoning will permit a high quality neighborhood shopping center which would benefit the immediate area and the City. He hoped that further delay would not be necessary as options are about to expire. With specific reference to Resolution No. 525, Mr. Hege' asked that a bakery, cleaning establishment, photographic studio and a candy shop be permitted to locate in the center; that they are currently excluded by Section I of said resolution; that they are proper uses in C-2 but not allowed in C-l. He further asked that Condition 7 regarding light standards being 10' in height be changed, as that height would create a hazard as well as encourage vandalism; he suggested 15' in height. He asked if Condition 20 (moving signs) would allow a subdued blue sign of the familiar Van de Kamp style and Mr. Phelps answered in the affirmative. Illuminated signs and trash storage were also discussed. It is presently planned by the developer to use three separate storage buildings rather than storage in the main building which would increase the insurance on the property. In conclusion Mr. Hegel asked that the requested zone change be granted, subject to the conditions imposed by the Planning Commission with the exception of those enumerated by him. I The City Clerk read into the record communications from the West Arcadia Business and Professional Association urging the granting of the requested zoning; from the Chamber of Commerce urging the granting of the requested zoning but opposing any additional commercial zoning west of Golden West Avenue; a petition with 8 signatures urging approval; also a telegram opposing the shopping center from the owners of the Mayfair Markets. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was closed on MOTION by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Forman and carried unanimously. The Planning Director explained the basic thinking of the Planning Commission on the various changes referred to by Mr. Hege'; that certain types of bake shops and cleaning establishments are permitted in Zone C-l - photographic studios are not a proper use for a 3. 9-1-64 /, A I ()~f\ ..... SPECIAL USE (Animal Hospital) p; Up'/~.I"" 16:6351 neighborhood shopping center; that light standards should be ke~ at a 10' height in order to protect the residential area from glare; that moving signs and illuminated signs are not desired in commercial neighborhood centers, and that regarding the trash storage location the Commission felt that the hazard would be less if it were in the main building. Extensive discussion held on all the foregoing subjects. It was brought out that action must be taken by the Local Formation Agency on the proposed annexation. Discussion held on the patronage of the shopping area and that if the City does not allow it the center would probably locate across the street in County territory. I Mayor Turner felt that the City already has sufficien t commercially zoned property which is not properly developed; that he was opposed to annexing property for additional commercial purposes; that in his opinion this fact should preclude the annexing and zoning of additional C-l properties. Councilman Balser stated in part that the City Council has gone on record to hold the line on Duarte Road; that the potential for a good neighborhood shopping center is there. Councilman Considine advised that another shopping center is before the Planning Commission - proposed to be built on Duarte Road between First and Second Avenues; that the saturation point may be being reached; that some markets are complaining about not receiving the profits hoped for. Councilman Reibold observed that he believes in free enterprise and that in his opinion when an operation becomes unprofitable it would just be discontinued. . MOTION was made 'by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Forman and carried on roll call vote as follows that the City Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission 'as outlined in Resolution No. 525 subject to the favorable action of the Local Formation Agency with relation to the annexation of subject property; that the accessory buildings be allowed adjacent to the main building; that the light standards on the parking lot be 15' instead of 10' on the north side of the south building subject to the approval of the Planning Commission. It was stated that this action includes the recommendation as contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 531 although the notice of public hearing did not include this recommendation. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Balser, Considine, Forman, Reibold Councilman Turner None I Brief discussion held as to the extent of the properties covered in the hearing notice; that there might be a technicality to be worked out. Planning Commission Resolution No. 528 recommending the granting of a special use permit for the construction and operation of an animal hospital at 111 and 121 E. Foothill Boulevard. Projecturals were reviewed depicting the plot plan, landscaping and elevation. The noise factor was explored. It was brought out that 4. 9-1-64 I ZONE VARIANCE (Church - Parking) ~ OcJ::; w P{w-l ~~ I TRACT NO. 29532 Final map (Approve,d) 8 /c;t>!, 16:6352 there would not be any doors on the rear of the building which would be on the north side. The City Clerk read into the record a communication from Dexter D. Jones, attorney for the applicant, pertaining to specific conditions as set forth by the Planning Commission.: Re: Condition No.1, that the provision for a six foot wall on the east property line facing the wash cannot be complied with, as the County Flood Control District has an easement over this portion of the property and that ingress and egress must be given the County to allow access for the moving of equipment; Re: Condition No.3, that it is necessary for air conditioning equip- ment to be placed on the roof of the building, hidden behind a concrete parapet wall; Re: Conditions 9C and 9D, that a suggestion be considered that no opening be made in the wall along the rear 24 ft. which would provide for the doctor's private entrance and would not effect the sound- proofing. Discussion held on the contents of the communication, with the staff advising the City Council that the suggestions would pose no problems. MOTION was then made by Councilman Reibold seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously that the recommendation of the Planning Commission as contained in Resolution No. 528 be APPROVED, subject to the specified conditions therein and that the changes as suggested by Mr. Jones be made. Planning Commission Resolution No. 529 recommending the denial of a zone variance to permit the use of property at 721 W. Lemon Avenue for off street parking and to use an existing residence for Sunday School purposes. The subject site was outlined on projecturals and the requested use was explained by the Planning Director. Discussion held on whether or not the usage would be detrimental to the area, the protests heard before the Planning Commission and the fact that no appeal had been filed from the decision. It was stated in part that the required fee for such an appeal might have been a deterent factor on the part of the Church. Councilman Balser felt that the City should assist Churches in meeting expansion needs. Although no appeal had been filed it was the consensus of the City Council that the matter merits further consideration and in order to extend an opportunity for those interested and the public generally to be heard MOTION was made by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Balser and carried unanimously that a public hearing be scheduled for October 6, 1964 at 8 P.M. Planning Commission recommendation that the final map of Tract No. 29532 (525-605 Fairview Avenue-Condominium apartments) was APPROVED subject to the following conditions on MOTION by Councilman Balser, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously: 1.

The report covered the effect of the proposed tax, legal implementation, administrative procedures and ~_u"~~Qther considerations. The report included a list of Cities which have already adopted the tax and as to whether or not the anticipated revenue had been earmarked. The report also set forth that the League of California Cities had urged the adoption of the tax; that the Governor had signed the legislation but indicated that the State is almost certain to consider such a tax on a Statewide basis at the next session if cities do not rather generally avail themselves of this source of revenue. Although this was not a public hearing per se, the hotel-motel owners in the City had been invited to participate in the discussion. Communication from the Arcadia Business Association was read into the record. The letter requested postponement of a final decision as it needed time to complete a study. Walter Muller, owner of the Westerner Motel, representing a majority of the hotel-motel owners who were present, stated in part that the proposed tax would be discriminatory and is not needed at this time; that his information is that the tax is permissible but not mandatory. He also stated that the levying of such a tax would require additional bookkeeping for the owners as well as the City. He mentioned that since some of the surrounding cities have adopted the tax the motel owners here have noticed a gain in occupancy and asked that this advantage be allowed the local owners and that the tax not be levied at this time; that the City assume a 'wait and see' position and that if all Cities eventually adopt the tax there could be no protest. Discussion held on the possibility of the State levying the tax in which event it would preempt the field, the purpose for which the tax has been earmarked by other communities. Mr. Murphy, owner of the Frontier Motel and Mr. Peterson owner of the Round-Up Motel, asked Council not to levy such a tax at this time; that it would have a profound effect on the business which isn't lucrative anyway. Councilmen Reibold and Considine favored waiting to see what transpires on the State level and also what other cities eventually do - that the figure would only be about $25,000 annually. Councilman Balser felt that the City should proceed with the necessary steps toward levying the tax; that the State will eventually; that the City does provide services to the hotel-motel owners such as police protection and that the City should levy a tax from the transient people where possible rather than burden the property owner. Discussion held on an effective date if an ordinance levying the tax is adopted. Mayor Turner felt that the City should proceed, that there had been enough delay. Councilman Balser MOVED that be levied effective December motion which carried on roll a uniform 1, 1964. call vote transient occupancy tax of Councilman Forman seconded as follows: 4% the AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Balser, Forman, Turner Councilmen Considine, Reibold None 7. 9-1-64 ORDINANCE NO. 1259 (Introduced) HOSPITAL LEASE }PS 16:6355 Further discussion held as to the advisability of a later effective date in which event the City could ascertain the actions of the state and other cities, and it could review the matter prior to the effective date. February 1, 1965 met with the approval of the City Council. Mayor Turner then MOVED that the motion be amended setting forth an effective date of the Ordinance as February 1, 1965 instead of December 1, 1964. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which carried unanimously. The City Attorney thereupon presented for the first time, explained the content and read the title of Ordinance No. 1259 entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING TO CHAPTER 6 OF ARTICLE II OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE A NEW PART 6 ENTITLED "UNIFORM TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX" CONTAINING DIVISIONS 1, 2, 3 AND 4." (Effective February 1, 1965) MOTION by Councilman Forman, seconded by Councilman Considine and carried on roll call vote as follows that the reading of the full body of Ordinance No. 1259 be waived: I AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Balser, Forman, Considine, Reibold, Turner None None Councilman Forman further MOVED that Ordinance No. 1259 be introduced. Councilman Turner seconded the motion which was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Balser, Forman, Turner Councilmen Considine, Reibold None The City Manager advised that with the pending construction of the extensive addition to the hospital, the hospital is negotiating the borrowing of up to $3,000,000 for a maximum period of 20 years and has r ece i ved commitments for a large portion of this amount; that the outstanding indebtedness against the property is only $229,761.99 at this time with an asset. value of $3,773,073.00. He further advised that the Administrator of the Hospital has requested the City Council to authorize the borrowing of the increased amount with the necessary extension of time. MOTION was made by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Forman and carried on roll call vote as follows that the recommendation be accepted and that the City Council's authorization dated November 18, 1958 for the Methodist Hospital of Southern California to hypothecate the city lease as security under an open-end mortgage or trust deed to secure an indebtedness to be incurred from time to time, in an I amount not to exceed a total of $500,000 be and the,same is hereby further amplified and amended to permit an indebtedness to be incurred from time to time in an amount not to exceed $3,250,000 and the ex- tension from time to time of the due date or due dates of any instru- ments evidencing such indebtedness to a period not later than November 1, 1990. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmen Balser, Considine, Forman, Reibold, Turner None None 8. 9-1-64 TRACT NO. 23146 Tentative Map Approved ,l -d1-/oS's I CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (Building) -:J 1/[f I 16:6356 The Planning Commission's recommendation that the tentative map of Tract No. 23146 be denied was sustained by' the City Council on July 21, 1964. The Planning Commission's reasons for denial were that the tract as proposed would preclude the future orderly development of cul-de-sacs in the subject area (Second Avenue and La Sierra Drive). The Commission had suggested that the tract be moved one lot to the north or to the south but the developer could not comply inasmuch as the needed property was not available. Subsequently a petition was submitted to the City Council asking for review and reconsideration. The City Council on August 18, 1964 did review the matter and referred it back to the staff for further study and report. In compliance with the request, the City Manager submitted his report which stated in part that circumstances in this instance appear to warrant reconsideration; that the availability of the additional property as recommended by the Planning Commission was not possible inasmuch as one large parcel had been purchased to accommodate a large family and that another parcel carried such a high value it would be precluded from being placed in a tract even if the owner were willing to sell. He recommended favorable action. MOTION was then made by Councilman Reibold, seconded by Councilman Balser and carried unanimously that the tentative map of Tract No. 23146 be approved. Councilman Forman abstained from voting as he had not been present at the aforesaid meetings. In compliance with the City Council's request of August 18, 1964 the City Manager submitted a proposal for the financing of the con- struction of the building which would be on City owned property and leased to the Chamber of Commerce. He set forth the figure used by the Chamber of Commerce - $47,000, for construction costs - to be amortized at 6 per cent interest over a 25 year period and requiring a monthly rental of $302.90 with the following results: $302.90 per month x 12 months x 25 years Applied to principal Total interest payments $ 90,870.00 47,000.00 $ 43,870.00 The report further stated that with pending sale of City owned properties it would be possible for the City to find funds for the building purpose. The City Manager further stated in part that Mr. Harding, President of the Chamber of Commerce, had exhausted all possibilities of working out financing without a trust deed being required with lending institutions and that it appears that the City Council should now decide if it would favor entering into a lease; that if the City sold the property to the Chamber of Commerce the organization does not have the money with which to build; that a point in favor of the City advancing the money is that the City would receive 48 per cent of the tariff in the long run; that there is an advantage due to the interest rate; and that should it become necessary the City could take over the building and put it to a number of uses. Councilman Considine MOJED that the City Manager be instructed to work with the Chamber of Commerce on a proper financial arrangement which the City can reasonably and justifiably adopt for the completion of the building.

He exhibited plans for the proposed new quarters. The City Council scheduled the following public hearings: 1) W. A. Howe, appeal from the Planning Commission decision for denial of a request to permit an existing 6' fence to remain, and 1 2) Suzanne Santo, appeal from the Planning Commission decision for denial of a request to permit an existing,patio roof to remain. Both hearings will be held Tuesday September 15, 1964. Appropriate notices to go forward. I Councilman Reibold read from a financial report figures which had been transferred from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Improvement Fund from 1955 and that since the City is facing the construction of its combined City Yard he MOVED that $175,000 in the Unappropriated General Fund be transferred to the Unappropriated Capital Projects Fund Account No. 285. It was stated in part that this transfer would prevent the possibility of the City being low of funds at the time development of the combined City Yard begins; that this would provide for the implementation as fast as possible; that the City could sell the surplus city-owned property by the time the construction is completed; that the construction must be made from a different source and that transfer of funds would permit this. Councilman Balser questioned the advisability of making the transfer and stated in part that the Capital Projects Fund is the revenue from the admissions taxes; that it appears to him to be a change in the City's basic policy; that he would be willing to loan it to the Capital Projects Fund until the City sells the city owned property; that there would be ample money coming in from the sale of this land to construct the yard; that perhaps the people should vote on it so it can be better understood and that he could not go along with the transfer.
