Said motion was seconded by Councilman Reibold and carried unanimously. Motion was made by Councilman Jacobi that the minutes of the adjourned regular meeting of August 13, 1957, be ap- proved. Said motion was seconded by Councilman Phillips and carried unanimously. Planning Commission Resolutions No. 258 and No. 261, making recommendations on the application of Carl D. Anderson for a change of zone that the property be classified from Zone R-3 to Zones R-2, PR-3, and C-l with a D-overlay and requiring certain dedications for street and alley purposes. Mayor Dennis declared the hearing open. A letter from the applicant setting forth his reasons for requesting a C-2 zoning rather than the C-l recommended by the Planning Commission was ordered filed as part of the proceedings. No one desired to speak against the grant- ing of the zone change. Mr. Anderson, the applicant, presented maps showing the location of the parking zones and proposed streets to become buffer strips between the commercial area and the residential. He called attention to the fact that the county C-l zoning across the street was similar to the C-2 zoning of the city, which he was requesting, and answered questions concerning the proposed use of the property. Councilman Phillips moved that the hearing be closed. Motion was seconded by Councilman Camphouse and carried. The City Attorney pointed out that the property proposed to be zoned P-R might not of itself provide sufficient parking area; that the amount required would depend on the size of the building. Councilman Phillips moved that the recommendations of the Planning Commission,> as set forth in Resolution No. 258 with all conditions imposed therein, be approved, except the portion recommended by the Planning CommissionJto be zoned C-l shall be rezoned C-2; that the recommendations of the Planning Commission as set forth in Resolution No. 261 imposing the D-Zone overlay on the property zoned C-2 be approved. 1. 8-20-57 :", <}"'~ ,-- t>..""," .' j '- HEARING - ALLEY VACATION .J (11'13 COMMUNICATIONS _.:...:: ~) 3-..?I<( LOT SPLITS No .162 ~;;)..P.

I No. one in the audience desired to be heard. The City Attorney explained that the alley previously required would no longer be necessary with the approval of the new subdivision which provided better access with other streets and alleys. Councilman Camphouse moved that the hearing be closed. Motion was seconded by Councilman Jacobi and carried. Councilman Camphouse moved that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance vacating the property and that the City Engineer furnish the Attorney with a report of any easements to be reserved in the property being vacated.

At the Mayor's request the City Clerk read the names of those signing five communications, one containing 20 signatures, favoring the proposed "Green River" type ordinance; and a letter from the Greater Arcadia Improvement Association requesting that the ordinance be held in abeyance for thirty days. The Mayor asked the City Clerk to acknowledge receipt of the communica- tion and directed that the communications be filed, stating that they would be taken up at a later date and that notice would be given of the time. Two communications were presented regarding the proposed(beaSification program. Since they covered a part of Santa Anita Avenue that is not a part of the current program, they were ordered filed for future consideration, the Mayor stating that they were avail- able at any time for inspection by the press and the public. Councilman Camp house felt that there had been some misunderstanding as to the proposed work. Councilman Reibold explained that the plans for future work on Santa Anita included two traffic lanes and an 8-foot lane for parking on each side of the center island, which the present pavement does not quite provide.

'3.944 " '. . ~ r WEST AND SANTA ANITA AVENUE ON THE EAST WITHOUT FURTHER RECLASSIFYING THE SAME, GRANTING A VARIANCE FOR THE CONDUCT OF AN EQUIPMENT RENTAL BUSINESS UPON A PORTION THEREOF, AND MAKING FINDINGS AND DETERMIN- ATIONS RELATIVE TO THE FOREGOING." I Mayor Dennis stated that he wanted to present some pursuasive material prior to the reading of the resolution and read the first portion of an article by Mrs. Marian Spaulding printed in the August 15, 1957 issue of the Arcadia Tribune under the "Voice of the People". He read a letter from the Planning Division to the City Manager regarding proposed future use of the Himes property. He read a letter from Mr. Zima of Zimco Electric and showed plans of a proposed new building. He referred to a garage .located in the Triangle, doing body and fender repair work that might be in violation of the present zoning. He showed plans for a small animal hospital which had been planned for the Senior property, read a letter from the two veterinarians who are buying the property, and one from Boller,. Suttner and Boller, attorneys for Mr. Senior. Mayor Dennis felt that the permanent variance would be spot zoning. He realized that there were approximately 500 residents opposed to the rezoning, but he felt that the City Council represented the whole city and that the rezoning was the best solution for the city and the key to a long-standing problem. Councilman Reibold expressed his opinion that there were still no problems, as far as the Himes and Senior properties were concerned, that could not be solved without rezoning. That historically, the Triangle property had been developed during the time the Matoon Act was in existence and the property owners had always been asking for a change in the rules. I Councilman Phillips said that he was still in favor of the rezoning; that if it were not done, the Council would be fighting the battle of Live Oak, lot by lot and block by block, from El Monte to Sixth Avenue; that all of the criticism had been of a destructive nature and that none of those opposing had come up with a better solution. He felt that far too much of the Council's time had been given to the prOblem, and that he hoped when the vote was taken on this resolution, each member would vote from his heart, and that regardless of the outcome of the vote, the Council would go on with their plans for the Civic Center, the parks and the many other projects that the Council has to do to fill its obligation to the City. Councilman Camphouse stated that he himself was entirely responsible for changing his preliminary decision in the matter; that while people had come 300 miles to see him about it, he agreed with Council- man Phillips that there had been too much emotion involved in the problem. He recalled that it was emotion that chased thousands of dollars of business from the City of Arcadia when Ralphs Market built in county territory. He wanted to be sure that certain existing businesses in The Triangle were taken care of, such as the car wash property and Equip Rent, in the resolution presented. He felt obligated .by reason of prior actions of the Council to afford the Equip-Rent permanent kelief. 11. 8-20-57 39115 The City Attorney advised that the variance for the car wash carried no time .limit and that a permanent variance, under the conditions previously set up, was being granted to Equip-Rent by this resolution. The City Attorney read Resolution No. 2921 in full. Councilman Reibold moved that Resolution No. 2921 be adopted. Councilman Phillips seconded the motion and it was carried on roll call vote as follows: AYES: NOES: Councilmen Camphouse, Jacobi and Reibold Councilmen Phillips and Dennis Mayor Dennis acknowledged the presence in the audience of Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Woodall of the League of Women Voters. Councilman Phillips moved that the meeting adjourn to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 27, 1957. Councilman Reibold seconded the motion which was carried unanimously.
