O~822 M I NUT E S CITY COUNCIL OF TIlE CITY OF ARCADIA C< REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 15, 1959 The City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, met in regular session in the Council Chamber of the City Hall at 8:00 o'clock P.M., December 15, 1959. The Invocation was offered by the Rev. Robert Gi+more, Assistant Pastor of the Arcadia Friends Church. Mayor Reibold led in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. PRESENT : ABSENT : Councilmen Balser, Camphouse, Jacobi, ~hillips, Reibold None Mayor Reibold introduced to the audience the new City Manager, Mr. Harold K. Schone. Motion by Councilman Jacobi, seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried unanimously that the minutes of the Regular Meeting of December 1, 1959, as submitted in writing be approved. Motion by Councilman'Phillips, seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried unanimously that the City Engineer be ordered to prepare a report pursuant to Section 17660 of the Streets and Highways Co4e and a map of plat pursuant to Section 18661 of the Streets and Highways Code concerning the proposed lNDE~ighting Maintenance District No. 14. }0' IIEARING Mayor Reibold declared the hearing open on Planning Commission Resolution (Seidner) No. 349, recommending granting of application of Saul G. Seidner and Nettie Seidner for the reclassification from Zone R-l to Zone C-2 and Zone D of certain property located at 2728 South Baldwin Avenue. LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 14 There being no written communications received regarding the matter, Mayor Reibold inquired if anyone desired to address the Council either in favor of or in opposition to the requested reclassification. JHDEX~D No one desiring to be heard Councilman Phillips moved that the hearing be .. closed. Councilman Camphouse seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. I ~ \ \;; ~ " '-. Councilman Phillips commented that he would have approved this particular parcel had it been included in the application of Bernard Berk and Ralph D. Stogsdill for a change of zone on property near the southeast corner of Las Tunas Drive and Baldwin Avenue approved by the Council on September 15, 1959. He thereupon moved that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission as stated in its Resolution No, 349, and grant approval to Saul G. Seidner and Nettie Seidner for the reclassification from Zone R-l to Zone C-2 and D of their property located at 2728 South Baldwin Avenue. Councilman Jacobi seconded the motion. A general discussion ensued, and it was Councilman Balser's opinion that to rezone this particular corner C-2 would not be in the best interests of the City, inasmuch as it would remove the buffer zone there at this time; that although the property adjacent on the east and across Workman Avenue to the south is still zoned R-l, the reclassification of the subject 1. 12-15-59 < 04-823 (Hearing - Seidner - Continued) INDE~ ~ )'12\ HEARING (Annexation No. l7-A) ll~DEXED ~f property would probably result in many similar requests for commercial zoning there. Councilman Camphouse stated in part that with reference to Councilman Phillip's comment, that the development proposed to be constructed in the area contained in the Berk-Stogsdill application was conceived to include the lot under consideration at this time, in which event it would have had the same restrictions imposed upon it; that in this particular instance he did not feel the requested rezoning would be compatible to such development. Councilman Phillips commented that there is no reason to believe that the lot in question might not be developed with the aforementioned Berk-Stogsdill development. I In answer to Mayor Reibold's comment that Section 4 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 349 recommended certain architectural restrictions, Councilman Balser stated that he was referring to restrictions such as were imposed in the,West Arcadia rezoning matter, which included planting, walls, certain setbacks, etc.; that under the present restrictions a service station or something similar might be constructed on the corner in question. And with reference to Mayor Reibold's statement that there were no protests either oral or written in this matter, Councilman Camphouse was of the opinion that regardless of whether or not protests are received, it is still incumbent upon the Council to determine whether proper restrictions have been imposed. Mayor Reibold 'then called for a roll call vote on Councilman Phillip's motion, which was carried as follows: AYES: Councilmen Jacobi, Phillips, Reibold NOES: Councilmen Balser, Camphouse ABSENT: None Mayor Reibold declared the hearing open on Planning Commission Resolution No. 354 recommending the reestablishment in Zone R-l and the reclassification to Zones R-3, PR-3, C-2 and C-3 of certain property in the southerly portion of' Annexation No. l7-A presently zoned R-l by reason of its annexation to Arcadia, and 'in compliance with his request the Director of Public Works displayed a map depicting in different colors the area to be considered for rezoning. Mayor Reibold then inquired if anyone in the audience desired to speak in opposition to the proposed reclassification and the following persons addressed the Council: Mr. E. L. Benson stated in substance that the Union Oil Company owned the northwest corner of Las Tunas Drive and Baldwin Avenue, which included Lots 11 and 12; that on the southerly part of the lot a service station has operated for approximately ten years; that the portion being opposed is the north 60 feet which, Mr. Benson requested be zoned C-2 in conjunction with the 120 feet adjacent to the service station; that I immediately to the north there are two individual residences, a multiple unit and a church; that in his opinion the use of the north 60 feet could be better utilized by C-2 zoning, which they proposed to use to expand the present service station to include the sale of tires and the like, and also for additional parking. He also mentioned that this request was not made in the hearings before the Planning Commission. Councilman Balser commented that this again brings up the question of a business building adjacent to residential property. Planning Commissioner Stout, who was present at the Council table, remarked that the matter of zoning commercial on Baldwin Avenue has been a matter of concern to the Planning Commission; that several hearings had been held on the matter of parking but that the Planning Commission has had no opportunity of discussing the matter of additional commercial zoning on Baldwin Avenue with the property owners and that he suggested 2. .J 12-15- 59 (Hearing - Annexation l7-A - Continued) I I ~ ,O,:!.Cf)A . ""....., ~ r,....\l .l""" ,: ,\, '.!" ~.,J~ . that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission for addit,ional study. He added, in answer to Mayor Reibold's question, that the two parcels in question could be handled separately in the event the Council desired to act that evening upon the reclassification under consideration at this hearing. Mrs. Blanche B. Taylor, 9941 Val Avenue, spoke regarding the northwest corner of Baldwin and Val Avenues, stating in part that she was in'favor of Baldwin Avenue being zoned R-3 between Garibaldi and Lemon Avenues, which, in her opinion, would tend to standardize"'the, deve,lopment 01. llaldwin Avenue. To Mayor Reibold's inquiry as to whether anyone in the audience desired to address the Council in favor of the proposed reclassification, Mr. Thaddeus J. Peters, 6059 South Baldwin Avenue stated in substance that he was in favor of Baldwin Avenue, between Garibaldi and Las Tunas Drive being restored to R-3 zoning, as recommended by the Planning Commission; that he had purchased property in that area because it was zoned R-3 prior to its annexation to Arcadia and that R-l zoning would result in an economic loss to him. He handed the City Clerk communications from the following persons favoring the Planning Commission's recommendation regarding the rezoning of Baldwin Avenue between Garibaldi and Las Tunas Drive to R-3: Mary Jankewiz (no address), Mrs. H. J. Pratt, 2440 Baldwin Ave. Mrs. John M. Phillips, Sr., 9977 E. Woodruff Ave. Mrs. Blanche B. Taylor again addressed the Council, stating in part that in her opinion those favoring R-I zone on Baldwin Avenue did not live on Baldwin Avenue but lived on side streets,off of Baldwin Avenue, and that no one living on Baldwin Avenue desired R-I. Mr. David B. Voors, 9921 E. Val Avenue stated in substance that he favored the recommendation of the Planning Commission; that he had purchased property in an R-I zone and would like it to remain in such zone as it affects Val Avenue. No one else desiring to be heard Councilman camphouse moved that the hearing be closed. Councilman Balser seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. With the exception of Councilman Camphouse, it was the consensus of the Council that the recommendations of the Planning Commission as contained in its Resolution No. 354 were well taken. Councilman camphouse, however, felt that preferential treatment was being accorded the property at the southwest corner of Baldwin Avenue and Las Tunas Drive in that the zoning on this property was not the same as it had been prior to its annexation to Arcadia; that should this property owner desire different zoning he could through due process request a zone variance. Councilman Camphouse then moved that Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission as contained in its Resolution No. 354 for the reestablishment in Zone R-l and the reclassification to Zones R-3, PR-3, C-2 and C-3 of certain property in the southerly portion of Annexation No. l7-A, Southwest Arcadia Inhabited presently zoned R-l by reason of its annexation to Arcadia, with the exception of the southwest corner of Las Tunas Drive and Baldwin Avenue, of which the southerly 100 feet of the property facing Baldwin Avenue should remain in a parking zone. Council- man Jacobi seconded the motion. A general discussion then ensued wherein the question of C-2 zoning under the Los Angeles County zoning laws and C-3 zoning under the City of Arcadia were clarified. Whereupon Councilman camphouse, upon receiving permission from Councilman Jacobi as to his second, amended his motion to 3. 12-15- 59 4)' ~i-t~~ti\5 \.

I The City Attorney added that this resolution recites the filing of application by the Professional Square, Inc., the holding of hearings and adoption of a resolution by the Planning Commission recommending denial of the requested variance; that although numerous protests were filed by owners of property in the vicinity against the granting of the requested variance, proceedings for the reclassification of the subject property as well as protestants' property to Zone C-3, which would permit the use requested by this variance on all property in the area, have since been culminated; that in view of the pending reclassification of the subject property and other adjacent properties to Zone C-3, the requested variance will not be detrimental to the other properties in the area, the property in question being needed as access to the commercial area. That for the foregoing reasons the 'variance is hereby granted to permit the use of the above described property for public parking and for access to Naomi Avenue to and from commercial properties adjacent to the subject property, upon condition that the southerly twelve feet thereof be offered for dedication for the widening of Naomi Avenue and that the existing parkway as well as the southerly twelve feet be planted in accordance with the requirements of the City Engineer. Mr. Edward Stout, Planning Commissioner, commented that he did not recall the Planning Commission approving this procedure and called to the attention of the City Council the fact that the rezoning of the Naomi Avenue area is on a two-year basis; that there had been several violations of law in connection with the requested zone variance and that he would recommend that Council give the matter further consideration before approving it. Mayor Reibold explained that this matter was presented to Council, had been appealed and subsequently placed on the Pending Agenda; that it was an open matter for Council decision at any time after it had been submitted to them by Planning Commission.
