Application of Ellsworth T, Dahlgren, 921 Fallen Leaf Road, Arcadia, for a business permit to conduct an indoor baseball clinic and golf range at 21 Morlan Place. Mayor Butterworth declared the hearing iopen and John Bertone, 151 E. La Sierra Avenue, stated in part that at one time about two years ago, he had endeavored to establish a baseball batting practice range in the city but was advised by the Planning Department that property was not so zoned in the City; that during the interim he had established the business in another city and had encountered problems foreseen by the Department. However, it was pointed out to Mr. Bertone that the present application is for an indoor clinic whereas his was for an outdoor cage type. The applicant then'explored his proposed operation and indicated that he had invested approximately $210,000 thus far and intended to create a recreation and instruction activity of a high level for youth inter- ested in baseball and as a former major baseball player and coach felt he was well qualified and could succeed in the endeavor. . " No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Considine, seconded by Councilman Hage and carried unani- mously. Councilman Hage then MOVED to approve the application; that a business permit be issued pursuant to the issuance of a conditional USe permit for which Mr. Dahlgren would immediately apply through the Planning Department, Motion seconded by Councilman Considine and carried unanimously. Proposed Consolidated Lighting Maintenance District. It was noted that all existing lighting maintenance districts will be consolidated into a single district which will be divided into four different zones as outlined in the Notice Resolution of Intention No. 4164 which scheduled a public hearing for this date to hear objections to the formation of said District, Mayor Butterworth declared the hearing open and Merlin E. Auten, lllS Golden West Avenue, expressed concern that taxes would be increased by these proceedings and lodged a protest. Mr. Auten was referred to the Ci~y Engineer's report dated ,October 30, 1970. 12-1-70 - 1 - < ' APPROVED ZONE CHANGE (Hearing Scheduled) USE CONTINUATION (Hearing Scheduled) l,.. ^ 'YOUTH f I COMMISSION LIGHTING (NORMAN AVE) Hear ing Scheduled 19:7753 William Gleason, 901 Monte Verde Drive, was advised on his cOhce.;r,n" about whether or not for instance residents of the Rancho area would be asked to underwrite the cost of improving the lighting district for the remainder of the City - that the proposed district does not take monies from any district and apply to any other portion of the City - that it will simply combine nine districts into one. James A.,Christenson, 2221 S. Santa Anita Avenue, was advised that the,City funded the original cost of the lighting and the abutting property ,owners will pay the full cost of maintenance - that the landowners have been assessed 100 percent power and maintenance 1 costs on Live Oak between Santa Anita and Third Avenue. Mr. Christenson then stated in part that if the City decides to install new lights anyplace in the City the cost should be equally shared by all residents ,as it would benefit the total area. Aside from the subject issue he referred to the lack of sidewalks on the west side of Santa Anita between Longden and Live Oak and asked that consideration be given to construction of sidewalks mainly for the children who must walk to school in that area. No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Arth and carried unanimously. It was then MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Co uncilman Helms and carried unanimously that the protests be overruled and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare a resolution ordering the formation of the consolidated lighting maintenance district. Planning Commission Resolution No. 718 recommending a change of zone from PR-l, Automobile Parking zone - Second one- family zone to C-2, General Commercial Zone which would permit the construction and operation of a restaurant at 235 E. Foothill Boulevard. The matter requiring a public hearing, same was scheduled for January 5, 1971, at 7 :30 p.m. The Planning Director advised that the Commission, by Resolution No. 717, granted a conditional use permit to continue an existing riding academy operation and residence on property at 11721 E. Clark Street (Chicago Park area); that a termination date was not included in the conditions outlined therein. Although not included in the resolution it was noted that the applicant, Keith Davidson, has indicated that any period less than five years would make it 'impossible for him to retain the business operation. It was the consensus of Council that the matter should be considered in public hearing proceedings. It was MOVED by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously that same be scheduled for January 5, 1971, at 7:30 p.m. On MOTION by Councilman Hage, seconded by Councilman Helms and carried unanimously the By-Laws of the Youth Commission were APPROVED. The Commission was commended on its fine effort. I Residents and property owners on Norman Aven~e between Holly and El Monte Avenues circulated a petition for improved street lighting, and the Director of Public Works advised that the number of signers of the petition represent 61.9 percent of th~' 42 parcels in the block which is 2200' long with 11 wood power poles and the request is for a 2500 lumen light on each pole. The existing system posts the City $11.25 per month and the new one would cost $39.95 per month but if placed in a lighting maintenance district the city's 'cost would be $18.97 per month - no installation costs would be involved in this action. The matter requiring a public hearing, same was scheduled for January 19, 1971. 12-1-70 - 2 - J. .<: ~ LEAVE/ABSENCE '.1. .' APPROVED, ' ' .'

NOTE: PRESENTATIONS ARE HEREINAFTER SUMMARIZED. FULL TEXT AND TESTIMONY ARE TAPE RECORDED AND ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK. Don Ehr, 215 W. Pamela Road, assistant manager of Hinshaw's Department Store in West Arcadia, spoke at length referring specifically to con- tents of a report prepared by Larry Smith & Associates for the appli- cant concerning the productive impact of Fashion Park on the community; that with respect to its statements about the success of other fashion centers he felt they were without substance; that he had investigated the Stanford Center in Palo Alto which he finds was established in an area which was almost without any shopping facilities within an area of 30 miles - it did not open in an area which had been meeting the needs of the community - the area was practically a vacuum and not at all comparable to Arcadia. He then referred to the South Coast Plaza Center in Orange County and its surroundings which now accommodates about 14,000 new residents within l~ miles - a rapidly growing area - and not comparable to Arcadia. He commented that, by and large, regional shopping centers are not built in areas with a high degree of retail activity already established - but rather in areas where there are substantial vacuums. 1 He submitted in evidence a Projection Map of the San Gabriel Valley over which was drawn areas of an 8 mile circle indicating pictorially major shopping districts, 1) Pasadena with its Lake Avenue and down- town shopping areas, 2) Montgomery Ward Shopping Center at the San Bernardino Freeway and Rosemead Boulevard, 3) Sears Center in El Monte at the San Bernardino Freeway and Peck Road, 4) Sears Center in what is referred to as the Hastings Ranch area just east of Pasadena...and in addition there were the shopping centers of Arcadia, Monrovia, Temple City and Sierra Madre, 12-1-70 - 4 - ~ /2 l.t ..f'. T !5-f .:". .1.-, .; I 19 :7755 (a) He noted further in part that the entire area depicted is no~ ~ol~d , with potential retail customers and felt that, considering t~e'pdp~l . lation ~ithin the areas indicated, it is very adequately served by substantial retaiiers. He also included the accessible shopping. centers in West Covina and Covina; that with all the shopping centers available the freeway will not, as purported, be an access route to the proposed regional shopping center; that surface streets will be used and in. his opinion the benefits will be small as far as the flow of consumers from the freeway is concerned; that because Baldwin and Michillinda Avenues will soon be extended, he estimated an almost immediate return to the City of about two million dollars in retail sales which does not include the proposed Fashion Park. He then referred to some of the figures in the Larry Smith & Associates' report which he said were inaccurate and submitted as evidence a periodical called FOR (Financial and Operating Results of Department and Specialty Stores of 1968). Accurate sales figures are reflected therein. He noted instances where the figures differentiate from the . Larry Smith & Associates' report which he stated in part are inflated estimates in almost every instance. Mr. Ehr continued that if Council accepts the report on face value it would be making a serious mistake - that it would be difficult for him to believe Council would move on the proposal without further study including the expenditure of money for some totally unbiased analysis not only of this area but also suggested that Council personally observe activities in shopping centers outside the area. He then mentioned other centers - Topanga Plaza - built in a rapidly growing area; that any retail area which existed before Topanga Plaza has practically disappeared now - that there is great concern in that area as to their long range growth as another center is about to be developed there. That he was also told about the South Coast Plaza center - that since its opening the business section of Costa Mesa has steadily declined - v that the new center in Newport Beach is less than fully successful. He cited other instances where retail centers are not 100 percent productive. I (TYSON) In response to a question, Mr. Ehr stated in part that he feels the immenseness of the proposed project, the size of the stores, some of which would be directly competitive with his, the newness, the unique- ness, the one-stop shopping opportunity it presents - would bring about a 25 percent sales loss to the Hub; that other smaller merchants would probably sustain ,an equal or greater loss. That if Fashion Park is "approved, West Arcadia will decline not only initially but will continue to decline unless it can be anchored by a very major store; that a few of the West Arcadia stores would probably move to the Center and under those circumstances how could the landlord of those stores replace them with stores of equal quality. In conclusion he stated in part that. Hinshaw's have been very fortunate to have prospered in the city but that if Fashion .Park becomes a reality its prosperity will have ended; that although the proponent's report indicates otherwise - they are completely separated by almost 3/4 of a mile; that Fashion Park would not be contiguous to West Arcadia; that also contrary tO'the report a center such as the West Arcadia Hub would only continue to decline.. He urged disapproval of the application. Frank Tyson, 803. San.Vicente" Santa Monica, Urban and Regional Planning Expert .and Professor at the University of Southern California, appearing on behalf of PLAN, stated in part that he is deeply interested in what .is happening to. t.he..Southern California basin wherein an ecological crisis is deve~opi~g; that last year the State air quality standards were exceeded in Los Angeles County - .standards signify a tolerable amount of ,pollution - and cited instances of smog alerts in areas encompassing the City apd predictions that by 1975 there will be mass mortality in the basin. . He felt the development of Fashion Park would only heighten the problems of noise, air pollution, traffic congestion ". .and increase crime in the area. That Councill s decision is crucial he felt because in fact they are considering the future. use of approximately 400 acres and the impact on environmental quality of the community. 12-1-70 - 5 - -1 , LV'/I' -J~ {'<- '. (EATON) 19:7755 (b) '-T. t.' ". He suggested that an in-depth study be made by a Commission or other impartial body and in response to Mayor Butterworth as to whether or not he thought a political body has the right to sterilize land, stated in part that a use has to be provided and commented that if a study did indicate it would be best left as open space, constructure alternatives equitable to the property owners would have to be determined. That it has never been determined just what it costs a community to develop an area; that only potential income has been considered. He felt the present use of the subject property has been relatively compatible and suggested that a hasty decision not be made and thought Council should seek those with expertise in the fie~d. I Arthur Eaton, President of the West Arcadia Business & Professional Association, stated in part that a survey was sent to all of its members with pertinent questions concerning the pros and cons of the proposed development. That not all of the members returned the questionnaire, but he did recite percentages in favor and opposed which indicated a majority in opposition to all or part of the devel- opment as proposed. The questions propounded included reference to the center itself, the inclusion of high rise office buildings, the effect on their own businesses, foot and vehicle traffic generated by the new center and the increased sales projections. He also stated in part that three members of the association made personal surveys of the three major shopping centers referred to in Santa Anita's report as being of similar quality and style for the proposed center; they were beautifully constructed with special features, however, all three have drastically cut into the downtown business areas surrounding them. He concluded by stating in part that with the discussions and the survey the majority of the Board of Directors feel they can do nothing but oppose Fashion Park at this time and went on record to that effect. (MCINTYRE) Mrs. Joan McIntyre, 370 W. Camino Real, expressed opposition to the proposed development. (WHITTINGHAM) Charles Whittingham, horse trainer, stated he was against Fashion Park; that one cannot operate a first class race track without a training track and stalls; that Santa Anita is one of the best tracks in the country and he didn't see how a race track and a fashion center could be operated simultaneously. (LONGDEN) John Longden, 247 'd. Lemon Avenue, horse trainer, felt that if the training track were lost at Santa Anita it would also lose good horses; that it would tend to downgrade the track. (PRATT) (LEAVITT) (STIRRETT) Tom Pratt, horse trainer, felt it would be a first step in phasing out racing at Santa Anita; that the subject 65 acres are necessary to race meets and training; that it is a disadvantage to have to transfer horses back and forth; that many trainers who live in the city would have to locate elsewhere and asked for the denial of the applicat ion. I Charles Leavitt, 12787 McKinley, Chino, suggested that Council inquire of the horsemen as to how they feel about shipping horses back and forth - it is not good practice. Dr. R. Lance Stirrett, 612 W. Duarte Road, referred to a newspaper article indicating that a number of professional people in the area were in favor of Fashion Park. He stated in part that in June he submitted a petition signed by 57 physicians and employees from this area in opposition; that they desired the city to remain as it is - a city of homes. He continued in part that there were sufficient commercially zoned 'areas and suggested, as an alternative to what is contemplated, the zoning of the subject area for residential purposes. 12-1-70 - 6 - I I (HARDWICK) .'/.1:./'<:"' "'7)':.),f - . .,{~.. 1/ " 'J. (YOUNG) (SERMIN) (ROSTRUM) (CAMPBELL) ( STECK) 19:7755 (c) Jack Hardwick, 280 Arbolada, stated in part that a Citizens against Santa Anita group was organized some two yea~s ago to combat additional rac~ng days at Santa Anita; that they had appeared previously before Counc~l'with facts and figures on increas~d crime and traffic if add~tional racing days were approved and submitted events which point out to him that if the city cannot be adequately policed now how could the police handle problems which .Fashion Park would bring. That extra policemen would be needed entailing increased expenditures. He felt that the police department has been an advocate of the race track due to . vast percentage of its personnel b~ing employed in their off-hours by that facility. He then referred in part to consultant Simon Eisner's report before the Planning Commission that Fashion Park should not become a part of the future development of the city, however, the Commission recommended in favor of the proposal. That Council turned down the possibility of placing the matter on the November General Election Ballot only to face the possibility of an election by referendum at which it is difficult to get voters out and compared limited campaign funds with those of Santa Anita. He concluded by stating in part that if Council approves Fashion Park pet~tions will be made to the American Civil Liberties Union and the Justice Department of the United States for relief. Richard Young, 1104 Hugo Reid Drive, referred to comments made at previous meetings concerning solutions to traffic problems in the Village and Rancho area and his reasons for living in a community like Arcadia; that he values the sanctity and peace of one's private home and appealed to Council not to make the city a further drawing attraction for more people and to consider the basic equity question and responsibility to adjacent residential areas in connection with the requested rezoning from R-l, He concluded by referring to the 1969 Annual Report of Santa Anita and a Street Livability Study by the Planning Department of San Francisco which portrayed problems living with masses of concrete structures. Mrs. Ingrid Sermin, 1739 Alta Oaks Drive, stated in part that some of the properties indicated on a map presented by the Taxpayers for Fashion Park organization, as favoring the development were incorrect. She questioned the high quality stores which are supposed to become a part of the center and submitted that it would not be long before the rest of the property in question would be developed with high rise multiple dwellings. She did not feel that the surrounding communities could support or be financially able to shop in the facility as proposed and referred to those working at Santa Anita now who might lose their jobs and homes if the track should cease to exist. James T. Rostrum, 422 Monte Vista, was advised that a communication he had written had been received by Council. He commented further that he was concerned about changing the present height limit as he felt it was in keeping with the general character of the community of fine homes. Robert Campbell, 316 Cabrillo Road, concurred with Don Ehr in some of his earlier statements concerning the status of shopping centers in other communities and cited examples which he has encountered which did not indicate the success as represented by the proponents. He had previously spoken to the tax situation and questioned if in fact it would create a broader tax base as has been purported; that many times anticipated tax advantages do not materialize. Emil Steck, 831 San Simeon Road, stated in part that he had spoken on the matter on behalf of PLAN at an earlier meeting, however, as an individual he would direct his remarks at this time to legal matters concerning zoning. That as a private citizen he believes completely in the integrity of Council that it has not decided the application nor intimated to anyone what its decision will be until all the evidence is in. 12-1-70 - 7 - .f':/ -f I ft I , " ' (MOSCARET) (CAVENEY) 19 :7755 (d) He then explored the history of the zoning of the race track starting in 1926 when all of the property was placed in Zone A single family residences; in 1932 when racing was thought to be a possibility an election was held, a result of which was that some 210 acres were zoned for horse racing (only this was later defeated). In 1934 Santa Anita purchased 210 acres which was placed in a Special Zone, later restored to residential use. In 1937 Santa Anita purchased an additional 137 acres subject to a Special Zone Variance which would revert to residential use if they were not used for racing. Later master zoning ordinances were adopted in present form which demonstrates that there was never any business use intended for the subject property - it was either racing or residential - he submitted that what Council is I being asked to do is a bad principle of zoning, contradicting 44 years of prior history and would establish a precedent for multiple use of busines property. . He continued in part that it has been said throughout the meetings that racing would continue as long as economically feasible and that the proposed development may make the operation economically feasible for a longer period of time than if the property remains vacant. He said it has been demonstrated that Santa Anita is not in financial need and the remarks carry the suggestion, if not the threat, that if Fashion Park is not approved racing will end in the city. That it is an unde- sirable principle of zoning to grant an application on a suggestion or threat. Mr: Steck stated further in part that zoning is one of the most important functions of the legislative body; its action is permanent and valid; that once. a property is zoned it cannot be taken from the property owner without his consent except through condemnation or some superior govern- ment emergency action. That with the granting of the zone change it would become increasingly difficult to turn down additional applications for further business use of Santa Anita. That while Council is being asked to take a permanent action the applicant has made no commitments; there is no assurance that racing will continue if the zone change is granted or if racing will remain under particular circumstances. In conclusion he stated in part that the citizens are entitled to the consideration of Council, to the fullest possible debate on this important issue, and on behalf of those appearing in opposition expressed gratitude for the opportunity to present their views in a complete and orderly manner; that except for those who have troubled themselves to oppose the application, much of what Council now knows about the situation would never have come to light. Gene Moscaret, 1125 Encanto Drive, stated in part that it is illogical to him to hear it' said that this center would not have a ~rofound effect on the economic development of the San Gabriel Valley - both positive and negative. He referred to a study prepared for the City of Pasadena by the Economic Research Development Association relative to a shopping mall projected to open in the city about a year beyond the scheduled opening date of Fashion Park. He said some very interesting things had come to his attention about Pasadena's plan and urged Council to contact the appropriate city officials in that city; that there is information available which overlays the total pulling power and the economic activity as projected by other Planners and Studies in the San Gabriel Valley. I Robert L. Caveney, 1100 Paloma Drive, stated in part that he now finds it easy to take a position in opposition to Fashion Park because in his opinion Santa Anita has not acted in good faith as evidenced by sketches and overall plans for the race track property. OPPOSITION TESTIMONY COMPLETED. 12-1-70 - 8 - REBUTTAL SCHEDULED I ADJOURNMENT I 19:7755 (e) Mayor Butterworth advised the applicant that Council would resume deliberations on DECEMBER 15, 1970, at which time it would hear rebuttal testimony.
