CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 30, 1971
The City Council of the City of Arcadia, California, met in adjourned
regular session on Thursday, September 30, 1971 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Council Chamber of the Arcadia City Hall.
Mayor James R. Helms, Jr.
PRESENT:
ABSENT,
Councilmen Butterworth, Considine, Hage, Helms
Councilman Arth
May", Helms explained the purpose of this meeting stating in part that
in order to devote sufficient time to the proposed General Plan it has
become necessary to schedule meetings for its primary and specific
consideration, and that the proceedings at this meeting will be on that
one subject. The Consultant and Acting Planning Director participated
in all of the proceedings.
At the meeting of September 16 Council concluded its discussion of items
up to and including Land Use Item No. 13 (Acting Planning Director's
communication dated September 1, 1971).
ITEM 14: West side of Baldwin between Huntington and Hugo Reid
indicated on the General Plan as low density residential,
zoned R-l and developed with medium density residential
7 to 12 dwelling units per acre. It was noted that the
improvements on the west side of Baldwin are all single
story residential type apartments.
Consensus: Remain as recommended in the General Plan - with the 7
to 12 dwelling units per acre category governing.
During the discussion on this item Leo Nicholson, 958 Hugo Reid Drive,
was informed the subject area will remain as it is. Any application
for two story apartments would require an application for a modifi-
cation of the existing zoning variance and a public hearing. This is
not a General plan matter but one of zoning which would have to be
considered at the time a request is made.
ITEM 15, Area on the east side of Santa Anita from the freeway north
to Foothill indicated on the General Plan as low density
residential, zoned R-3 and currently developed with mixed
medium and high density residential. It was noted that at
present there are apartments, commercial and professional
office uses on Santa Anita.
Considerable discussion ensued on this particular area,
both east and west sides. It was felt that the area would
be subject to pressure for change of zone - what with the
freeway on and off ramps making it highly susceptible to
change for commercial use. However, commercial would then
abut R-l developed property... the present R-3 acts as a
buffer for the single family homes.

Consensus: Need for additional data was expressed and the Acting
Planning Director will submit expanded reports.
ITEM 16: East and west sides of First Avenue between the Foothill
Freeway and Foothill Boulevard - indicated on the General
Plan as low density residential and zoned R-l, R-2 and
R-3 --- currently developed with mixed residential uses.
Consensus: Remain as recommended on the General Plan - low density.
ITEM 17: Area on the west side of Baldwin from Garibaldi to the
southern city limits - indicated on the General Plan as
low density residential and zoned R-3 - with mixed
residential uses.
I
Consensus: Recommended that the area be high density residential
except existing commercial corners.
ITEM 18:
Race track property - will be discussed October 27, 1971.
ITEM 19:
High-rise-zoned areas throughout the city.
a. Towne Centre area - east side of Santa Anita north
of Huntington to the railroad. Recommended for
high rise commercial (no change). It was noted
that the west side of Santa Anita would not be
desirable for high rise as it would encroach too
much on the adjoining low density area (R-l zone).
b. South of Huntington to Duarte between Santa Anita and
Second. It was noted that the Planning Commission
recommend the deletion of the residential 'H' zone
entirely from this area. Planning Department will
initiate proceedings for the deletion which will
afford the property owners in the subject area an
opportunity to be heard.
c. West Arcadia high rise. Planning Department to deline-
ate areas which they would recommend for retention of
the 'H' zone. Commercial only.
ITEM 20: East and west sides of.Naomi from Baldwin to Lovell.
Area is zoned R-l with conditional commercial zoning.
The area has deteriorated during the years due to the
hope of the property owners for the establishment of
some total commercial use. However, due to recent
developments, this liklihood is almost remote.
I
Consensus: Area should be zoned R-2 on the north side of Naomi
and R-l on the south. (Council was not unanimous on
this. Councilman Butterworth felt it should be R-3
on both sides with R-2 closer to Lovell.)
Mayor Helms announced that at the next meeting on the General Plan
(October 20) the area at the southeast corner of Michillinda and
Colorado will be reviewed. Interested parties to be notified.
On October 27 the race track property will be reviewed, and
sp,eakers will be heard.
