Section 54957.6. the City Council had met in CLOSED SESSION to discuss labor negotiations and negotiations with the City's designated represent- atives. I Proposed Text Amendment (85-1) changing the side yard setback require- ments in the M-l and C-O zones. This would.eliminate the required 5'0" side yard setbacks in the M-l zones when a project is located adjacent to industrially or commercially zoned property. It would also require a minimum 10'0" side yard setback when a development is proposed adjacent to residentially zoned property. The existing side yard setback requirements create unusable spaces which result in areas that collect debris and are often not maintained.

COUNCIL RECONVENED AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Muriel1e Rose, 2427 S. Baldwin Avenue (apartment) spoke once again to the sit~ation at her address .,. it has not improved although the police have checked into it when she has called them. She felt the complex should have a manager to oversee the ~onduct of the tenants, the noise and the like. She acknowledged receipt of a communication concerning the matter from the Planning Director. During her presentation, staff advised that, based on the information it has received to date, there is nothing the City can do. It is a private nuisance problem and, Mrs. Rose should probably seek a private remedy through her own attorney. Angela ~, 1320 Oakwood Drive, asked for and, received a repeat of a statement made by Mayor Pellegrino concerning signs -- "that the City Attorney has been directed by Council to proceed with the preparation of a text amendment for Council consideration which would provide that all signs would have to be in English but they may .have diff.erent types of translations". Mrs. Supp spoke of the numerous telephone calls she received on' the sub~ect and felt some info,rmation ,!'hould have been available to the publ ic by now. She also said henceforth she will refer all such calls to'the City. Tan Shih-Ying, 123 Garden Glen Street, West.Covina, a Chinese reporter working for a Chinese Language newspaper said, in part, that the foreign language signs have caused some concern on the part of the vi Chinese community residing in ~rcadia and asked what the City is Plan- ning to do about it. Miss Tan Shih-Ying was advised that Council has asked staff. ,to prepare a report on a text amendment which would be made public '" it was the intention of the Council to maintain a uniform sign ordinance so that in emergencies the police and fire personnel would be able to identify commercial enterprises. Until such time, Council has not made a decision. .; 7/2/85 -3- / / / 25 : 1269 Don Loftus, 165 W. Naomi Avenue, spoke to the sign 'matter and questioned why it is necessary to have non-English signs on business fronts ... that English is the generally accepted language in this country and part of the strength of the nation is the use of a common language. ~raig Bushey, 215 Pamela Road, said, in part, that the fact the City oes not have a problem with non-English signs works in favor of the I City... because there is the opportunity to use hin4sight and take a look at what has happened in Monterey Park, Alhambra and San Gabriel. He noted that Temple City has a sign ordinance which prohibits signs in any language but Engl ish and requires the us'e of only Arabic numerals. He urged the Council to do the same with Commercial signs. Mr. Bushey also said, in part, that he agreed with a,comment made by Counci1member Gilb some time ago -- that all new residents be provided with copies of City laws and codes in their appropriate languages ... this in order to maintain properties by knowing what the require- ments a're. Coumcilmember Gilb referred to what was said by Mayor Pellegrino at a meeting some time back ... The Mayor said "if I can't read the sign, I don't go in". This was misquoted in the press by saying, "Mr. G 11 b. if you can 1 t read the sign. you don't ha ve to go in". Councilmember, Gilb then explored what had transpired to bring up his suggestion that all new residents be provided with property maintenance regulations -- trash pickup information, no'parking on the lawns or on streets at night, etc. This was in an endeavor to help those coming into the community to know something about the City... and then the matter of the signs came up ... including signs in English which have been erected without 'a permit ... it wasn't, to single out any individual langeage '" it was a general discussion on the matter of signs.
