CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
OCTOBER 16, 1979
The City Council of the City of Arcadia, California met in
adjourned regular session on Tuesday, October 16, 1979 at
6 p.m. in the Arcadia City Hall Conference Room.

Consideration of a proposed Home Occupation Control Ordinance, The
Planning and Finance Directors explained the purpose and proposed
procedure for permitting certain types of home occupations as
specified in the proposed ordinance. It was felt it is necessary
to adopt such a regulation as home occupations seem to be on the
increase and without some control the immediate areas could be
downgraded as well as be in violation of the Fire Code. It was
noted that the Planning Commission had considered this but felt
residential properties should be used for residential purposes only
and that business activities should be conducted in commercial and
industrial zones only and had recommended denial of a text amendment
adding a home occupation ordinance to the Municipal Code.
It was the consensus of the City Council that it may be a long time
before it is possible to have complete listings of the home occupations
but at least it would have a vehicle to work on and make changes.
Whereupon it was MOVED by Councilman Saelid, seconded by Councilman
Gilb and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council accept the
intent to approve an ordinance pursuant to the draft prepared by and
explained by the Planning Director; that staff review same and come
back to Council for review and if it is the intent of Council that
it then go to the Planning Commission as a document which Council
is going to adopt.

of the 1978-79 Grant Application it is necessary to have a special

cost of the audit is reimbursable by UMTA through its Section 5
funding.
It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb , seconded by Councilman Saelid and
carried on roll call vote as follows that the City's Auditors Lance,
Soll and Lunghard, conduct such an audit at $1,100. Funds are in the
Dial-a-Ride account.

$16,000 annually. There would be a need for approximately $25,000
initially to move into the combined Center; that instead of one
Dispatcher there would be two at all times in the El Monte Fire
Department Headquarters... that if it should not work out in a period
of five years 50% of the cost would be returned to the City.
Concern was expressed by Council that the City now has a self-contained
service which Council does not like to see a part turned over to
El Monte; that the City would lose a measure of control; that it does
seem to be one-sided and the amount to be saved is unpredictable. It
was also noted that the City now has all tie-ins and radio repeaters,
which equipment would stay in El Monte if the City should pullout.
Council would rather have the Center located in Arcadia and was not
convinced that this plan would prove to be more efficient.
It was submitted that perhaps other avenues should be explored...
the possibility of the City taking on the needs of other jurisdictions
for instance; that for the good of the community a more inexpensive
method of operation should be investigated. It was MOVED by Councilman
Gilb, seconded by Councilman Saelid and carried on roll call vote as
follows that the consolidation as proposed be rejected.

A public hearing was scheduled for November 6 on the appeal filed by
Sam J. Falzone from the decision of the Planning Commission in its
denial of his application for a 47 unit condominium at 509-523 W.
Duarte Road.
Council received the communication from Hudson and Alli Roysher
concerning the regulation on the height of the oleander hedge at their
residence at 1784 S. Santa Anita Avenue. The Municipal Code Sections
governing this were explored and it was the consensus of the City
Council that this type of complaint should be handled administratively
and it was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino
and carried on roll call vote as follows that a Text Amendment be
prepared relating to Code Enforcement Officer's decisions and sub-
mitted to the Planning Commission for review.
