At 7:00 p. m. Mayor Harbicht called the Adjourned Regular Meeting
of the City Council to order, all Councilmembers being present and
accounted for.
The staff report concerning the proposed closure of the Arcadia Mental
Health facility was distributed to Council. This matter arose after
the agenda for the Regular Meeting of February 7, 1989 had been posted
under the Government Code 72-hour posting requirement. The City
Attorney explained the procedure for action to be taken at the Regular
Meeting on an emergency situation for a non-agenda item.
A flyer in connection with the opening of Mercy's Villa, a residential
care facility for the elderly on Santa Anita Avenue, was briefly dis-
cussed. The Director of Planning reported that "the facility will
house six elderly persons. Mercy's Villa has obtained a State license
for this type of facility which was authorized by legislation in 1985.
The 1985 legislation expanded upon legislation passed in 1973 where
the State closed many State facilities and many mentally ill persons
and others were released out into the community. The 1985 legislation
goes a step beyond and provides residential opportunities for the
elderly. Legislation is clear that cities cannot require a conditional
use permit; zone variances; or other local regulations that are not
applicable to typical structures in that zone. The City does not have
any control in that respect. Further, these type of facilities serv-
ing six or fewer persons are not subject to a business license; local
registration fees; use permit fees or any other fees. The State has
mandated that these type of uses are to be considered as a single
family use." The City Manager suggested that the facility should be
monitored for property maintenance if it does, in fact, open.
The City Manager requested a Closed Session before the Regular City
Council meeting this evening.
At 7:15 p. m. the City Council entered a CLOSED SESSION, RECONVENED
and ADJOURNED sine die at 7:30 p. m.
