25:1059
The Planning Commission on August 28, 1984 voted 5 to 0 with two
members absent to adopt Res. No. 1268 which denied a Conditional
Use Permit to expand the existing Arcadia Convalescent Hospital
from 74 beds to 148 beds at 1601 S. Baldwin Avenue. The owner,
Orlando C1arizio, has appealed this decision to the City Council.
The Commission felt that the proposed project was too intense a
development for the site and also that it did not comply with
Section 9275.5.3 of the Arcadia Municipal Code which allows a
maximum density of one bed for each 800 sq. ft. of lot area. (A
total of 117 beds would be allowed under this regulation.)
Discussion held on how the convalescent hospital was increased from
its initial 66 beds to 74 beds. Staff will research this. Staff also
advised that, with reference to another convalescent hospital at 400
W. Huntington Drive which had less density at 657 sq.ft.per bed and lot
coverage of 39% whereas, in the subject instance, there will be a
density of 636 sq. ft. per bed and a lot coverage of 45%. With a
Conditional Use Permit, Mr. Clarizio could go to 117 beds pursuant
to compliance with the Code. The fact that his request has been denied
twice was primarily because it is surrounded by R-l development, where-
as the Huntington Drive facility is located across the street from the
Holy Angels Church and a school and adjacent to multiple-family resi-
dential area. Staff explained that, by the Code, you take the total
lot area and divide by 800 (our Code) and that would indicate the max-
imum number of beds permitted on the site.
I
Mayor Hannah declared the hearing open and HENRY HEGE, attorney for
the applicant, stated, in part, that since the original application
was denied many changes have taken place .., the number of beds has
been reduced from 170 to 148; the underground tandem parking has been
eliminated, the driveway to the north and the turn-around area in the
rear parking area have been approved by the City Fire Department. The
entry on Baldwin has been widened and a circular drive has been provid-
ed for loading and unloading the patients and their visitors. The drive-
way for ingress and egress to the underground parking has been expand-
ed from 20' to 24' ... the driveway to the south has been eliminated
to reduce the noise for the properties to the south which are R-1 zoned.
This area will be landscaped along with a 5 foot walkway for improved
absorption of any noise. Mr. C1arizio is willing to comply with the
modification conditions. .
Mr. Hege continued, in part, that surveys indicate the Arcadia Code
is much more restrictive than any other city in the number of beds
and parking. The plan now covers only 45% of the lot leaving 55%
for driveway and landscaping. The State has issued its Certificate
of Need for 160 beds which is based on a survey of the Arcadia area.
The Methodist Hospital has verified the need and there are petitions
from physicians to verify this need also. The stay in hospitals has
been reduced from 9 days to 6 days and a patient requiring skilled
nursing and intermediate care must go elsewhere.
Additional legislation has completely changed the method of reimburse-
ment to hospitals for Medicare and Medi-Ca1 patients ... instead of a
cost plus basis, there is now a fixed cost amount for each type of
procedure. Based on its review, the Planning Department has recommend-
ed approval of the project ... the building is one story whereas a 35
foot structure would be allowed. There is a 6 ft. block wall completely
surrounding the facility... 34 subterranean parking spaces have been
provided ... this will further reduce the noise. He asked Council to
grant the appeal and approve the Conditional Use Permit, subject to
all conditions, Mr. Clarizio would also sign a covenant that he would
not go beyond the requested number of beds.
I
In response to a question by Counci1member Gi1b, Mr. Hege said, in
part, that the patients in the main are recovering from surgery need-
ing skilled nursing ... they are not ambulatory... and upon rehabili-
tation, they return to their homes ... some may never leave due to
the fact that they require constant nursing care because they have
no one at home to look after them.

OPPOSITION
25:1060
In response to a question by Councilmember Pellegrino, Mr. Hege
said, in part, that there is only one other such facility in Arcadia
-- the one on Huntington Orive the closest others are in El Monte
and Monrovia.
Orlando Clarizio, the owner of the Arcadia Convalescent Hospital,
said, in part, that the State License is predicated upon the permit
which the City issues ... he could not have additional beds without
Council approval. As far as the increase in beds from 66 to 74, he
could not have done that without City permission. If he should increase
without a permit, he could be fined by the State anywhere from $5,000
to $25,000.
Russell Jack, 1716 Encino, Monrovia, submitted the number of beds in
surrounding such facilities -- with almost no vacancies. He is in
the chemical business and serves the convalescent hospitals and is
aware of the situation. He said people usually go to Board and Care -
a Retirement Hotel - before they need a convalescent facility. He
felt the area is in dire need of beds .,. it is critical. The closer
to home a patient can be, the better for the family... they may visit
more often and that is so important to a patient.
Marjorie Hullinger, 711 Call ita Street, spoke in opposition stating,
in part, that Mr. Clarizio has met on several occasions with the home-
owners and she has discussed the project with him personally. . She
has the same objections she had previously -- she spoke on behalf of
those who signed the opposing petition -- their homes are their major
investment ... the basic objection is the increase in density for the
size of the lot; the need for adequate green space and the negative
impact on property values. She felt there would be an increase in
noise. She also submitted, in part, that she feels eventually this
property will be developed, but it needs to come closer to the guide-
lines of the existing City Code. She referred to the denial by the
Planning Commission and the City Council and urged Council to deny
the appeal.
No one else desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION
by Councilmember Pellegrino, seconded by Councilmember Young and
CARRIED on roll call vote as follows:
AYES:
NOES:
ABSENT:
Councilmembers Gilb, Lojeski, Pellegrino, Young and Hannah

Councilmember Young felt that the rooms at the Huntington Drive
facility do not set a precedent .., the units are individual...
The City has good zoning laws and there are adequate codes. She has
visited the facility, looked at the residential areas adjacent there-
to and felt that the convalescent hospital is a proper buffer for
P',l properties. She would be fully in favor of the allowed number
of beds (l17) but felt that the request for the additional beds results
in too much density.
Councilmember Pellegrino felt that the convalescent hospital should'
be operated according to City Code, the 117 beds, which is 43 more
beds than are there now.
Councilmember Lojeski submitted, in part, that his comments are the
same as stated the last time this matter was before Council. He
expressed concern about open green space '" this project abuts
R-l development and it is only appropriate to have the proper buffer.
He would not be opposed to a less dense project. He would also like
to see more parking -- not something with substandard parking.
Councilmember Gilb said, in part, that an increase from 74 to 117
(which is allowable) would be quite an increase. He did not see

anything wrong with the City restrictions .,. restrictions do have
something to do with the abutting areas. The residential area does
have to have protection. He would not oppose an addition to 117
beds... see how Mr. Clarizio gets along with that change rather
than making one mass jump. He recognized the need is tremendous
and felt the facility must be good or people would not keep going
back to it. He would have to uphold the Planning Commission in
its denial.
In response to a question propounded by Mayor Hannah, staff advised
that there are currently 46 parking spaces .,. the applicant would
go to 52 ... 74 would be required by Code.
Mayor Hannah stated, in part, that he has no argument about the need
the question before Council is whether or not our ordinance is fair I
and equitable. In his opinion, it is ... that to deviate from the
800 sq.' ft. per bed and the required parking, Council would be remiss
if it did that ... for that reason, he would vote for denial of the
application.
Councilmember Young then MOVED to DENY the APPEAL and to direct
staff to prepare the appropriate resolution incorporating the
Council's decision and findings in support of that decision.

It was also the unanimous consensus of Council that should Mr,

is acceptable to Council, all fees connected therewith would be
waived.
Consideration of the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the
Beck-Target Development at Third and Huntington Drive. Council
reviewed the site plan and a rendering is available for all to
inspect. This public hearing procedure is to afford citizens
an opportunity to comment on the content of the DEIR. The final
EIR will come back to Council for certification at the same time
the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency and the City Council will con-
sider entering into a Disposition and Development Agreement with
Back. The Planning Commission reviewed the DEIR on September 25,
1984 and its comments were included in the staff report. Representa-
tives of the developer, the environmental consultant and the traffic
consultant were present at this hearing.
Mayor Hannah declared the hearing open and RICHARD MARVIN, 28 N.
Third Avenue, stated in full as follows: "The EIR for the Beck
Retail Center fails to discuss the impact which the proposed project
will have on housing. The ErR refers us to earlier Environmental I
Impact Reports, quote, 'for issues which are not addressed in this
focused EIR'. However, the earlier EIR for the East Huntington Drive
Redevelopment Area is likewise inadequate in its discussion of hous-
ing. That EIR confines itself to a superfiCial discussion of the
need to relocate residents, but does not mention the more basic
issue -- namely, the destruction of housing stock. The Draft EIR
dated September 1984 contains in Appendix A the Environmental
Check List - Item 12, Housing, asked. 'Will the proposal affect
existing housing or create a demand for additional housing?'. The
response on the check list is, 'No'. I fail to understand this
answer in light of the fact that 30 to 40 dwelling units on Third
Avenue will be demolished. The impact of the loss of this part-
icular housing would be all the more severe because older units
with moderate sale or rental prices have become difficult to find
10/2/84

25: 1062
in Arcadia. In addition to the identification of the impact
which a project will have on the environment, an EIR is supposed
to outline steps to minimize environmental harm. At present the
lack of affordable housing in the Los Angeles area can be described
as nothing less than an emergency. Under the circumstances, when
a development involves the destruction of part of the housing stock
available to lower and moderate income people, the appropriate
mitigating measure is the construction of replacement housing.
Thank you."
I
Eloise Ward, 1420 Rancho Road stated, in full, as follows: "I
have a business that is located at 1027 South Baldwin Avenue in
Arcadia. Just a couple of personal comments. I acknowledge that
I don't have a lot of information about the Target development, only
rumor in the community and what I've read in the newspapers, so I
know that I don't know all the facts. It just seems to me that
when we've been so particular in our community as to - to look very
hard and long to find a beautiful hotel to put in our town - in our
Redevelopment Area, and we've put a beautiful restaurant in our
hotel, and now we're talking about putting a major department store
that caters to the lower economic purchases that we all make -- it
seems to me -- it just feels like it's an inconsistent project to
put next to the other project. It just doesn't feel right and
that's just plain old personal opinion. I have nothing to base
that on -- it just doesn't fit and I have fear that we are not
doing proper planning. And, I want us to be very, very careful about
that because we're going to be' living with this for a very long time
and I'm very proud of where I live. I want to continue to live here
for a long time and I want us to do a good job. It doesn't seem fair
to me to lead the developer to believe that we're in favor of this
project, because the community organizations that I belong to give
me a lot of opportunity to talk to my friends and my neighbors about
the different things that are going on in town and one of them that
we talk about a lot is the Target development. I know that there are
a lot of people who just don't -- who feel as I do that it is not a
proper development for that particular location. And, I suspect that
when we get to the"point where we're ready to vote an this you may
have this chamber filled with people who don't approve of it and
I don't think it's quite fair for us to let the developer think
that we all are in favor of it. Thank you very much."

Councilmember Young; "I have great concern for the closing of,
Santa Clara, and if, as I understand this, there will be an entrance
to the development from the east side at Santa Clara and there will
be an exit-entrance on Second Avenue. Closing the street, to me,
isn't going to do any good, cars will drive through the development.
I think that could be a problem. I also feel that the Second Avenue/
Huntington Drive point will be very congested. I understand there
is a chance of relining Huntington Drive, but the overpass creates a
limitation'there. I have some questions about the traffic studies
because in one figure and another figure the numbers are the same on
a race day and a non-race day. I can't believe that, so that I
have some concerns about that. I have concerns that, if we're plan-
ning other developments along Huntington Drive that are going to
create other traffic, I feel that all the EJR's should be worked
together or we could have a tremendous traffic problem. There's

talk about the small stores and in our Willdan report we're
going to, hopefully, help downtown Arcadia. I'm sure one of
those is going to have impact on the other and I don't like seeing
empty small stores. Like the recent lady just said -- 1, too,
have concerns for the developer because he's spending time and
money -- but I just haven't had enough answers on some of this.
So, I hope the next EIR can address some of them."
Councilmember Pellegrino agreed with Councilmember Young. "It
would be nice to have an EIR from the City instead of piece-
mealing it together and patch quilting it around the City. One-
go to one developer who wants to build something - he needs an EIR.
Down the street another fellow pops up - he needs an EIR. Now, it's
too bad there isn't a general plan that can take it all in at one I
time and say 'no', this is done - already has been done - this is
the way it's done. I couldn't make a decision until we have more
information. I just think that we're looking at a retail area and
we have to judge it according to the tax revenue it will increase
in the City - what we're losing with the car agency going out, and
how we can replace that kind of revenue back in the City coffers."
No action required at this time. The Final EIR will be considered
by Council at a later date.

Staff noted the parking deficiency which the owner-manager
intends to eliminate by leasing property adjacent to his for
about 20 spaces. Non-conforming use of property is permitted
if the owner is willing to execute an Owner Participation Agree-
ment (OPA) consistent with the plan and that it details certain
conditions. Other locations have been investigated but none have
surfaced which provide the need.
Staff submitted that an appraisal of the land and improvements
is necessary and would cost $2,000. It was MOVED by Member
Lojeski, seconded by Member Gilb and CARRIED on roll call vote
as follows that staff be directed to work with the Agency Attorney

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Ken Mullen, 2999 El Monte Avenue, owner of 334 E. Huntington
Drive (corner Fourth and Huntington) expressed concern about the
traffic should the Target Store become a reality... that even
without the new store, traffic is a very serious situation as
far as entering and leaving Fourth Avenue onto Huntington Drive.
He felt additional traffic will be very detrimental to his
business. He submitted further, in part, that he did not think
the Target Store will be an asset to the City and said careful
consideration and study is needed by the Council and by traffic
engineers.

CONSENT ITEMS
Council considered and APPROVED the substandard lot widths for
tentative Parcel .Map 84-11 to create two lots from one lot at 622
W. Norman Avenue subject to all conditions outlined in the staff
report. It was noted therein that the two lots would exceed the
minimum lot depth and lot area requirements of 100' and 7500 sq.
ft., respectively.
I
APPROVED the request of the Southland National Bank at 800 S. Santa
Anita Avenue for an eleven month extension to building code variance
which permitted a temporary bank facility. The Bank plans to move
to a permanent location at Fifth and Huntington as soon as the
Larmor Project is completed.
ACCEPTED the work and AUTHORIZED final payment pursuant to the terms
of the contract for work performed by Vernon Paving Company in the
reconstruction of various streets (Job No. 557). The final contract
amount of $163,624.66 is funded by State Gas Tax.
Bids were received for the award of contracts for a recreation
facilities improvement project which encompasses a variety of
construction trades. Council had authorized the work to be split
into four separate projects for bidding purposes. The formal bid
received for the playfield improvements (Job No. 553A) from Artistic
Landscapes exceeded the Engineer's estimate by some $20,705 or almost
100% and this was rejected and will be reevaluated to determine a more
cost effective method of accomplishing the needed work. The Purchas-
ing Officer was AUTHORIZED to issue purchase orders to the following
low bidders in amounts indicated.

Funding for the three projects will be 75% from State Recreational
Facilities Grant Funds and 25% from the Parks and Recreation Facilities
Fund.
APPROVED the request for proposals for the preparation of the City's
Short Range Transit Plan. Staff was also granted AUTHORITY to
select the consultant and negotiate the contract for the completion
of the plan if the total project cost does not exceed $5500. Con-
tract to be executed by the Mayor and City Clerk in form approved

MATTERS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
YOUNG
Advised that at a recent meeting of the San Gabriel Valley
Association of Cities discussion was held toward dropping out
of the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California
Cities and forming another group of the Foothills Cities which,
it is hoped, would include Glendale, Burbank and as far east
as Ontario ... plus there would be an Airport at each end '"
it would encompass two Supervisors from Los Angeles County and
would give a better representative vote.
In response to a question by Councilmember Lojeski, staff advised I
that as yet it has not received an official reply from Group W
Cable concerning service to residents living in the Hacienda
Drive/Santa Anita/Woodland Lane area, however, the Cable Company
has said they are going ahead to provide service to those residents
and at the rates set forth in the Cable TV franchise ... no indica-
tion as to when the work will be completed. That will all probably
be outlined in the written response. A specific time limit will
be placed on this and if they cannot comply, they will be in viola-
tion of the Franchise Agreement. Staff has scheduled meetings
with Group W to work on negotiations and will keep Council informed.

HANNAH
In response to Mayor Hannah's inquiry, staff said, in part, that
the plans for the Senior Citizen Housing project on Naomi Avenue
have gone from the structural engineer back to the contractor,
eventually to come back for plan check for approval... it was
felt that it will be a couple more weeks before they get underway.
Staff will contact the owners of the property of the Senior Citizen
Housing project to see if they will clean up the lot the weeds
are taking over.
