CODE (1976) Staff to proceed MlNUTES ClTY COUNClL OF THE ClTY OF ARCADIA REGULAR MEETING JULY 19, 1977 The City Council of the City of Arcadia, met in regular session on Tuesday, July 19, 1977 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the Arcadia City Hall. Rev. Paul Cheney, Emmanuel Assembly of God Mayor Protempore David Parry PRESENT: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None On MOTlON by Councilman Margett, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried unanimously the minutes of the regular meeting of July 5, 1977 were APPROVED. CONTINUED - Planning Commission Resolution No. 988 recommending approval of a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance establishing an R-M Residential Mountainous single family zone. At the Council meeting of July 5 Council continued this hearing to permit time for written input and for review of those remarks. Communications had been received from S.A.V.E., A. R. Coke, W. T. Beckwith, Russell C. Graham and Norman Lieberman. Council has received copies of these comments and staff submitted an analysis of these observations in its report of July 19. lt was noted therein that the moratorium on the development of hillside property expires on December 21, 1977. A proposed Ordinance (No. 1587) had been prepared and submitted for Council's consideration. Concern was expressed on the recommended 6% street grade and a modification clause was suggested whereby under certain circumstances a modification for a higher or steeper street could be considered. Council reviewed a percentage map of some of the streets in the Highlands area indicating grades which varied from 6% to 15% with the road into the Wilderness area 20%. Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and John Haigh, 1250 Oakglen, asked Council to depart from the procedure to the extent that an item concerning Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code (1976) could be considered prior to continuing with the subject before Council. ln order to do so it was MOVED by Councilman Margett, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that the provisions of the procedural Ordinance be waived. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None This Chapter regulates excavation and grading and the staff report identified the more significant differences between this Chapter and those grading regulations contained in the City's Code Sections 8610 through 8658.1. lt was submitted by staff that there are a number of sections in the existing City code which should be retained and 7-19-77 - 1 - 22: 9264 these pertain mostly to fees, maintainance, landscaped and irrigation provisions which are not reflected in the Uniform Building Code. These are set forth in the report dated July 5, 1977. It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried ,on roll call vote as follows that Council declare its intent to adopt the Chapter 70 with modifications and that staff be directed to initiate proceedings for Council consideration of adopting Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code and for the retention of certain existing Arcadia Municipal Code sections relative to City work, excavations in the public right of way, requirement of estimating starting and completion times on the permit application, fees, expiration of permits, denial of permits, appeal of such denials, revocation of permits, maintenance, planting and irrigation re- quirements. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None I Mr. Haigh then continued his presentation on behalf of the S.A.V.E. group and thanked Council for its efforts in keeping the residents informed on the status of the proposed ordinance for hillside development. A show of hands indicated a large attendance of those residents. He felt the Planning Commission and the City Council have shown insight in ascertaining what is and is not good development which is evidenced in the community. He evinced interest in guidelines being made available for those interested in the development of the unique hillside area. Phil Latiolait, 1227 Highland Oaks Drive, read his comments which in summary concerned the size of a lot (15,000 sq. ft.) for a hillside home. He felt a provision should be included indicating that no development would be allowed in certain mountainous areas.. He suggested the inclusion of "no building structure shall exceed for instance II meters in height." Also "cuts and fills shall not exceed 2 on horizontal and 1 on vertical".. "minimum curb to curb shall be 11 meters", which would allow for wider streets if the City so required. He suggested a speed limit be established for those streets. Jim Currie, 1691 Alta Oaks Drive, as an architect submitted interest in maintaining the natural character of the existing terrain and a level of quality consistent with adjacent residential areas. He also suggested that Section 9250.5.8 read "ridge and crestlines shall be preserved wherever possible." He then referred to an environmental impact report.. that this is the responsibility of the City for the quality and objectivity of the report. The Planning Director submitted the manner in which this is done within the City. Clifford Anderson, attorney with offices at 301 E. Colorado, Suite I 704, Pasadena, legal representative for S.A.V.E. suggested some type of follow up be provided in order for those interested to be aware of what is taking place in the future. He referred to the inclusion in the proposed ordinance of a modification proviso which he felt would be unnecessary when there is a variance procedure. He felt a 6% grade should be the minim~ He reaffirmed confidence in the Council and its interest in the welfare of the citizens and urged the adoption of the proposed ordinance together with Chapter 70 of the UBC. William Beckwith, 107 W. Huntington Drive, referred to his communication which was suhmitted previously in response to suggestion from Council and in s~ry stated that in his opinion the property cannot be developed with the 6 to 8 percent grades proposed. Grades in excess of 15 percent were noted. Without such a grade differential he could not develop his property and it would eliminate the possibilty of 7-19-77 - 2 - 22: 9265 I additional access to the property from Hillcrest Drive in Monrovia. He felt this is essential for circulation of traffic, utilities and additional outlet for surface drainage. He felt the 15,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size should be changed to 15,000 sq. ft. average lot size as some would be more and some would be less. Reference was made to a subdivision in which he, has interest (Tract No. 27195) and which the Planning Commission had recommended approval some years ago. He said considerable work had been done on this tract in excavating, drainage and water. He had asked in his communication that this tract be excluded from the R-M zoning so it could be completed as originally planned which would eliminate cutting the hill where it was previously cut. He also mentioned the possibility of land-locked property to the north which would not be accessible from the City if the 6 percent grade were adhered to. Mrs. Johanna Hofer, 875 Monte Verde, suggested a prov~s~on be included in the proposed ordinance whereby the City would not be liable in the event of unforeseen landslides, cave-ins due to weather erosion, earthquakes, etc. The City Attorney advised that this could be done if so directed by the City Council..the development permit could perhaps require the developer to hold the City harmless by agreement. Gordon Maddock, 906 S. Baldwin spoke in part to other areas of the City which are being developed and also expressed concern if the ordinance would be legal or binding if property became landlocked due to the 6% grade under consideration. He was advised of the modi- fication procedure to be included which would make it possible for the Council if it should so decide to grant an increase. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried unani- mously. The following observations were then made by the individual Council members. Council Member Lauber stated in part that,she appreciated the work done by the homeowners group and the city st'aff. She submitted she was 98 percent in favor of the proposed ordinance, however, she would like to refrain from tying an architect's hands which would keep him from using his imagination and ingenuity. She would like to see some leeway in the approach to the property and noted that the first priority is to try not to scalp the mountains and to limit the grade to 6 percent would bring about more scarring; she felt it is too rest~ictive and almost ties a developer's hands with such a grade. She would like to have legislation in the beginning to avoid as many modifications and variances as possible. I Councilman Parry stated in part that he would like to keep the ordinance as restrictive as possible and that if a reasonable plan were presented which would require greater than the 6 percent grade it could be considered under the modification clause as well as lots which might be OVer or under the 15,000 sq. ft. provision. He is generally in agreement with the ordinance other than some of the wording. Councilman Gilb questioned whether or not the inclusion of the new modification clause would solve most of the problems which may be encountered... lt was explained that an application initially goes to the Planning Commission and that if a modification is requested that will not only go to the Commission but to the Council. Mr. Gilb suggested a curb-to-curb width of 11 meters. Councilman Margett stated in part that an ordinance should be adopted wherein a quality development could come in. He was in favor of the modification opportunity. Fairness to the residents and community is paramount but he did not want to discourage developers due to the grade and other requirements such as the EIR for instance. Mayor Saelid remarked in part, for the benefit of a speaker who felt 7-19-77 - 3 - 22: 9266 density should be primary in the proposed ordinance, ..that this is one of the weaknesses in the Arcadia Municipal Code and it applies to all residential zones.. it is one of the priorities of the Planning Department.. to go through the code and restructure certain sections. , Council then reviewed the ordinance page by ~age. Page 1 through 6 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Page 10 Page II Page 12 Page 13 Page 14 - no change - deleted the words "except slopes" in the second line of Section 9250.3.8 - 9250.4.2 "B" to read "Curb to curb width shall not be less than 11 meters (36.1 feet). "D" to read "Maximum grade of streets shall not exceed 10 percent for transition roads I in the areas where driveways are not located and 6 percent for all others." - 9250.4.3 - MODIFICATIONS. The City Council in the exercise of sound, reasonable judgment and by express findings entered in the Council minutes, that proof of necessity has been presented that a modification to the requirements of this Title is necessary by reason of the size, shape, topography, or other conditions of the property or of adjacent property, may, by majority vote, grant such modifications to this Title as are not in violation of the Subdivision Map Act, and as are not inconsistent wi th the General Plan." - 9250.5 "A" delete "except as provided in this Title. - 9250.5.2 "G" change to City Engineer. - 9250.5.5 - Filing Fee - delete first line with reference to fee for under 15,000 sq. ft. - no change - Add No. 5 and readjust the numbering and have No. 2 read "would adversely affect existing developments or regard future development in this zone." - 9250.5.9 - second line - should read "within 125 days" - The City Attorney suggested the inclusion of a provision to bring action of the Planning Commission before Council. - 9250.5,12 Modifications .. add after the word Commission 4th line "providing such modifi- cations do not expand the size or intensity of development and is not otherwise inconsistent with the information contained in the public notice. II lt was then MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried on roll call vote as follows that Council finds this will I not have an adverse effect on the environment; that Council hereby indicates its intent to adopt this' ordinance and that same be referred to staff to make such word changes and/or additions as directed by Council at this meeting. The ordinance will come before Council at its next regular meeting (August 2). AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None 7-19-77 - 4 - HEARlNG (BINGO) AUGUS T 2 HEARlNG APPEAL (C.U.P. ) I DENlED .) 'JIJr \ ,.1"" I ~',~. !",':::~~~.1.:". ;':~~~. 22:9267 The public hearing scheduled on the application of the Foothill Jewish Temple (Men's Group) will be continued to August 2 at which time the attorney for the organization advises all required data will be available. An application filed by Orlando Clarizio for a conditional use permit to allow a board and care facility at 716-728 W. Camino Real was denied by the Planning Commission on July 28. This denial was sub- sequently appealed by the applicant and the matter is now before Council. The Commission's Resolution No. 990 sets forth the findings... that the density is not appropriate for the neighborhood, the development too dense for the site, insufficient parking space, the requested height of the building is inappropriate, a minimal amount of open and recreational space with relationship to the density and the buildings would be too close to the street. ln response to an inquiry the Planning Director said in part that the proposed density would be less than a new retirement hotel on Duarte Road. Mayor Saelid declared the hearing open and Henry Hege, 550 W. Duarte Road, representing the applicant, Orlando Clarizio, stated in part that the subject property is surrounded by a service station on the north in a C-2 zone; on the south there is a convalescent hospital owned by the applicant and a vacant R-3 lot to the east and property across the street is zoned R-3 and C-O. The facility is a comparatively new concept for persons who have reached their later years and desire board and care although they are well and ambulatory. There would be recreational facilities inside and out and would be a nice place in which to reside. There would be 108 units which is one unit for each 746 sq. ft. of area. An investigation of similar facilities indicates that not more than 30 percent of the units would be double-occupancy or a total of approximately, 140 persons...not the figure which was used as a comparison based upon the number of beds. Mr. Hege continued in part that a statement was made before the Planning Commission that the parking was inadequate and that an investigation discloses that only about 15 percent of the occupants have automobiles...which means there would be about 24 cars and with the proposed 55 parking spaces this would be more than ample. The basic history indicates in 1968 a combination convalescent home and board and, care center was approved for this location for 252 persons. This proposal included another lot...both units were to be built con- currently. There was no trouble in obtaining the financing for the convalescent hospital but the board and care facility was such a new concept at that time that financing was not available. Approval was also given in 1975 for a board and care facility. As far as the 30' height of the building is concerned this is consistent with the Code and the location of the building (25' from the street) is the same as any other building in an R-3 zone would be located. He continued that an apartment complex could be constructed with 48 units at 2.4 persons per unit amounting to approximately 120 residents which would bring more noise, more vehicular traffic along with other distractions. He concluded by submitting in part that the facility is not to be considered a hotel but an attractive home for well older persons. There would not be medical services. He asked for favorable consideration and stated in part that the Planning Department did recommend approval of this and that it is permitted under the Code and would not be detrimental to the public health,and welfare and will not be injurious to the property and would provide the City with a facility for which there is great need and will be advantageous to the City. Eugene Fickas, architect, 107 W. Huntington Drive, Arcadia,explored in depth the plans for the facility which would cost approximately two and one half million dollars. Size of the various rooms, hallways, lounge rooms, dining areas, etc, were described at length. Most rooms 7-19-77 - 5 - 22:9268 would have a private patio or balcony...no cooking would be allowed in the rooms. Plans for the outside were explained... There would be a pool, sauna, landscaped areas and other amenities planned for the enjoyment of the residents.' He submitted that in a few years this type of facility will be much in demand and noted that the traffic and noise connected with it would be much less than with most any other type of improvement on the subject property. He felt this improvement would provide a buffer between the existing service station and the convalescent home. Speaking in opposition: Don Curry, 705 W. Callita, compared the parking required for this proposed facility with the existing retirement hotel on Duarte. He felt the parking would be inadequate and said after discussing the matter with the retirement hotel management he I felt it would not be successful as the latter is not fully occupied at this time. He felt the persons who would occupy the new facility would not be able to care for themselves; that it is not needed in the area and expressed concern that the area is becoming medical oriented... He did not like the idea of the extra footage required for the air conditioning units, etc., on the roof of the 30' building. He referred to the action of the Planning Commission and asked Council to abide by that. Sheila Curry, 705 Callita, spoke in opposition and felt it is not needed inasmuch as the retirement hotel on Duarte is not full. She referred to some of the patients from the convalescent home next door to this 'proposed facility walking around the area and felt this should not be duplicated. The City Clerk read into the record a communication from Mrs. A. H. Stephens, 741 W. Camino Real,in opposition to the facility because of the parking which she felt would be inadequate but would be in favor if the applicant would consent to providing more spaces if it were proven they were needed. Mr. Hege responded that with reference to the remarks made about the convalescent hospital that it is not a locked facility like an institution - and could imagine that upon occasion there might be persons who would want to wander about...but that is not the matter before Council at this time. Those in the proposed board and care home would be ambulatory, able to take care of themselves and are not the same type of persons who are in need of the medical services provided by a convalescent home. The applicant, Orlando Clarizio, 1415 Orlando Drive, said on behalf of the convalescent hospital that in 13 years there has never been an accident and that his proposed facility would not care for those in need of medical services and in response to a question said that the Fire Department has at certain times made requirements with which he has complied. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Council Member Parry and carried unanimously. Council Member Lauber stated in part that she had questioned the success of the retirement hotel on Duarte Road from the very first.. its rooms are small, only 165 sq. ft., whereas the proposed facility would have 195 sq. ft. rooms and that actually Council should not concern itself about the success or failure of a business as it relates to the denial or approval of a project and referred to the free enterprise system. She could not understand the action of the Commission in its denial because for some years Mr. Clarizio has been endeavoring to improve the property with something along this line. As far as people wandering around this happens in residential sections when people do not have all their faculties. The proposed facility would be quite different from a convalescent hospital. She was not concerned about the parking because most of the older people do not drive any longer, and noted that the proposed facility is in a proper zone.

" -.~ " 22:9269 Councilman Parry explored the reasons the Commission denied the project and felt there would be a parking problem because the residents would have visitors. He felt the renderings were most attractive, however, the Commission did feel strongly in the areas of density, insufficient parking, building height, the need for more open space and the closeness of the buildings to the street. He would uphold the Commission. Councilman Gilb said in part that he would support the Commission and noted the vote for denial which was 7 to 0 and submitted that he had heard nothing different at this hearing from what was, considered by the Commission. Councilman Margett agreed and submitted that he was concerned about the success or failure of a business. Mayor Saelid agreed with the findings of the Commission and submitted that undoubtedly there will be a need for this type of facility and what is being proposed is attractive, but the particular location in his opinion is not proper for the type of improvement. The City Attorney submitted in part that basically the board and care facility as defined in the City's Code allows meals, lodging and care, however, a retirement hotel or hotel per se only allows lodging and meals. It does not allow care. A board and care facility under the Code is only allowed in R-2, R-3 or C-O zone on a conditional use permit. The hotel is more of a commercial use and is allowed in a C-2 zone or less restrictive zone. It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried on roll call vote as follows that the appeal be DENIED and that the Planning Commission recommendation for denial be SUSTAlNED based on the following findings set forth in Resolution No. 990: 1. The density is not appropriate for the neighborhood and is too dense for the R-3 zoning. 2. The development is too dense for the subject site. 3. lnsufficient parking. 4. No justification for granting the increased building height and the height requested is inappropriate for the area and the zoning. S. Minimal amount of open and recreational space in relationship to the density. 6. Proposed buildings are too close to the street. 7. A conditional use permit could be detrimental to the public health and welfare and injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Margett, Parry, Saelid Council Member Lauber None Planning Commission Resolution No. 992 recommending approval of a Text Amendment (77-3) which would amend the front yard requirements in R-3 zone to restrict vehicular accessways. The Commission felt that under this proposed amendment it would still be possible to pave an entire front yard with pedestrian accessways and that at least 50 percent of the required front yard should be irrigated and landscaped with lawn, etc. This passed on a 4 to 2 vote and the dissenting Commissioners indicated the text amendment would not allow for design ingenuity and felt the Commission should be encouraging water con- servation instead of requiring that more land be irrigated. The Planning Department prepared a Negative Declaration for this project. Saelid Mayor/declared the hearing open and no one desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Council Member Lauber, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried unanimously.

Gerald B. Leonard, Senior Deputy, Transit Specialist, Los Angeles County, Office of Supervisor Baxter Ward, spoke at length concerning a new concept in mass transportation for Los Angeles County. He circulated material setting forth the present situation, the pending 'problem, transit development and an introduction to construction and operating costs. He submitted intention to present the concept to as many Chambers of Commerce, Homeowner Associations, etc., as possible in an endeavor to pinpoint local problems in consort with the sub- mitted regional plan. I Planning Commission Resolution No. 993 recommending General Plan amendments for the area bounded on the north and east by the Foothill Freeway, on the south by La Porte and on the west by Santa Anita - AUGUST 16. Planning Commission Resolution No. 994 recommending a zone change from PR-3, C-2D and PR-2 to PR-3 and a change in zone from PR-2 to C-2 for 200 sq. ft. located in the northwest corner of the property adjacent to Baldwin, for 850 S. Baldwin and 653 Fairview - AUGUST 2. This matter had been acted upon during consideration of the first item. (Hillside development) On recommendation of the Planning Commission it was MOVED by Councilman Parry, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried unani- mously that the Negative Declaration prepared for the tentative map of Tract No. 25304 (six lot subdivision at 1100-1110 S. Fourth Avenue) be APPROVED and FlLED; that Council finds the project will not have a significant effect on the environment; that the tentative map be APPROVED subject to conditions outlined in the staff report of July 19 and that the Director of Public Works be authorized to execute the Subdivision Agreement. Planning Commission Resolution No. 995 recommended approval of a Land Use Permit for the development of property at 124 N. Second. The resolution sets forth the findings and conditions of approval. lt was noted in the report that Condition 12 requires that the application be subject to the approval of Council and Condition 10 requires the proposed plans be submitted to and subject to the approval of the Redevelopment Agency. Because of this and in order for the property owner to have the opportunity of input before the Council a public I hearing scheduled for AUGUST 16 and on the same date the matter will be before the Redevelopment Agency. Council received the final staff report on the development moratorium area bounded by Santa Clara, Fifth, Huntington Drive and Second. The report has not been reviewed by the Planning Commission. On recommendation of staff it was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried unanimously that the report be referred to the Commission for review and comment and that staff initiate the amendments to the General Plan as recommended in this report. This will make it possible for the Commission to consider concurrently both the report and the proposed General Plan amendment.

Con- currently, the County Road Department awarded a contract to Vernon Paving Company for the resurfacing of Michillinda Avenue. A portion of that roadway is within the City and payment for this work is the City's responsibility. This is estimated to cost $1,000. It was MOVED by Councilman Margett, seconded by Councilman Parry and carried on roll call vote as follows that the Director of Public Works be authorized to include resurfacing of the portion of Michillinda Avenue within the City limits in this year's maintenance program and that $80,000 be appropriated from State Gas"Tax Funds' 'to cover costs for both projects as well as engineering, inspection and contingencies.... and that a contract in the amount of $73,799.60 be awarded to DAMON CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, that all other bids be rejected; that any informalities or irregularities in the bids or bidding process be WAIVED and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute a contract in form approved by the City Attorney. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None Council received the result of bids and recommendation for the award of contract for the 1976-77 Street Maintenance Program (Slurry Seal) Job No. 459. This project consists of slurry sealing various City streets as part of the annual maintenance program and will be financed from State Gas Tax Funds. It was MOVED by Councilman Margett, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried on roll call vote as follows that the contract be awarded to the low bidder, Pavement Coatings Co., in the amount of $33,777.00; that all other bids be rejected; that any informalities or irregularities in the bids or bidding process be WAIVED and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the contract in form approved by the City Attorney. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Council Members Gilb, Lauber, Margett, Parry, Saelid None None Staff advised that the contract with Signal Maintenance, Inc., terminates August 31 of this year and may be extended prior to that date without going to bid if Council finds it to the City's advantage. The Company has requested an increase in the contract rate and the contract permits this if the request is in 60 days prior to the termination date. This is due primarily to the increase in the company's liability insurance. It was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Hargett and carried on roll call vote as follows that the routine monthly maintenance charge be approved for increase to $2.96 effective September 1, 1977. The total monthly maintenance charge would then be $22.72 per intersection. The City Council in approving this increase did not agree to an amendment to the contract stating that any future insurance increases would be negotiated.

Las Tunas Drive. A dance permit had at one time been issued for dancing and Mr. Malkin indicates that he plans to operate the dance area in much the same way, except live music will not be used. A staff report dated July 19 indicates that the Business License Review Board approved the application subject to the same conditions which were imposed by Council on the previous application (Same are listed on the report). lt was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Margett and carried unanimously that the dance permit be approved subject to all specified conditions.

I '~onorable Mayor and members of the City Council: We have reviewed our agreement with the City Council per our letter of December 7, 1976, which called for the collection and payment to the City of Arcadia of 20~ per person as tax and service charge for all promotional groups. As we indicated at that time, it was difficult to expand this plan beyond this group of patrons because of the status of our credentials. Effective with the beginning of the 1977 Oak Tree meeting and continuing with the Santa Anita meetings, we will expand this charge as follows: 2s~ City of Arcadia tax and service charge on all complimentary admissions to the General, Club House and Turf Club areas, except: NO charge will be collected from individuals who are part of the "Show", including owners, trainers, jockeys, officials, employees, working press and their wives. This charge will therefore apply to the promotional groups as well as season and daily credentials. It is expected to raise an estimated $40,000. The total amount collected under this plan will be passed on to the City of Arcadia. Sincerely, Glennon E. King" lt was MOVED by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Council Member Lauber and carried on roll call vote as follows that this communication indicating intent signed by Glennon E.
