AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Counc i 1 members Gi 1 b, Hannah, Lojesk i, Young and Pe 11 egri no None None Consideration of a request for a .Building Code variance to permit the use of temporary mobile office structures at 212-300 E. Live Oak Avenue (Resdel Engineering). It was noted in the staff report dated September 17 that, due to their business increase, additional facili- ties are needed. Council reviewed the various exhibits indicating locations on the property. I Mayor Pellegrino declared the hearing open and Dennis Denlinger, 1753 Alexandria, Los Angeles, presented himself for questions. In response to a question concerning just how long would the temporary structures be in place; would it not be best to proceed with the building of' perma- nent structures, parking spaces and the proximity of the residences, Mr. Denlinger said, in part, that it is their intention to construct an office building but it would take at least a year and that the need for additional space is immediate, that the parking should not present a problem ... they would have 253 spaces and only have 220 employees, and would not have to park on adjacent streets. Charles Chivetta, 106 E. Longden Avenue, felt the City's ordinances should be upheld and said that in the past temporary structures had remained in place for long periods of time and felt this development would be of little benefit to the City. No one else desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Lojeski, seconded by Councilmember Gilb and CARRIED unanimously. It was MOVED by Councilmember Hannah, seconded by Councilmember Gilb al~d CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that the request for Exhibits 2 and 3 or a combination thereof of staff report dated September 17 be APPROVED not to exceed 9,000 sq. ft., of additional temporary office space, subject to all conditions set forth in said report -- for a period not to exceed one year. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Gilb, Hannah, Lojeski, Young and Pellegrino None None Council considered the proposed text amendment 85-6 concerning identification of businesses by safety personnel and the public when signs for businesses are not written in the Roman alphabet, The proposed amendment provides for readable and understandable signs enabling safety personnel and the public to quickly identify a business. This is extremely important in emergency response situations where time may mean the difference between life and death and/or increased property loss, I The amendment requires that property address be displayed on the front of all commercial and industrial buildings and where a commercial or industrial building abuts an alley, the address be displayed on that portion of the building facing the alley. The Planning Commission 9/17/85 -2- ~ ~'. . .-.. 25:1329 on August 27 voted 5 to 0 (two members absent) to recommend this amendment with an additional clause which would permit discretionary review by staff of all signs to ensure compliance with the purpose and intent of the code ... if the sign did not comply, the City would require supplementary wording or identification on the sign. The Planning staff felt discretionary language would be difficult to apply and is not necessary... that the proposed ordinance requiring two-thirds of the sign tq be in the Roman alphabet achieves the purpose of the code. In the event Council desires to include the Commission's recommendation to include discretionary review, staff set forth the wording in the staff report of September 17, 1985. I During the Council discussion, Council agreed with Councilmember Gilb's observation that in the event a question arose with regard to a particular sign, i.e., something not specifically covered in the ordinance that the decision be made by the Planner or by the Associate Planner. if the Planner were not available ... the decision should not be made by any Pl anni ng Department employee.' In response to Counc il- member Lojeski's question as to what would be done about existing signs if they do not comply with the code, staff advised it was felt all signs were presently in conformance. Councilmember Hannah was advised on the method taken by staff in determining what is readable at various distances. Mayor Pellegrino declared the hearing open and David Robinson, 144 Alta Street, spoke at length questioning the section of the proposed ordi- nance which states that 1/3 of allowable sign area may contain a non- English translation of the business, but the remaining 2/3 of allow- able area must be in the Roman alphabet and include Arabic numerals. Councilmember Young said she thought 2/3 readable a very fair division. Councilmember Gilb stated that he felt it was a fair way to do it -- there are different kinds of signs. I Mr. Robinson stated further, in part, that in regard to retroactivity, the last version requires that problem signs must be corrected within 6 months, per Section 9262.4.17. He did not think this was fair -- the City granted a permit for these signs and followed the existing codes; the business spent money putting up signs and then the City changes the rules. He felt there are two issues -- safety issue and economic issue. There is an existing ordinance that buildings must hnve street numbers on them -- wouldn't the police or paramedics look for the addresses, rather than the signs? In regard to the economic issue, is there concern that proliferation of non-English signs in t:",e City will adversely affect real estate values? Noted Monterey Park where there has been huge proliferation of Oriental signs, but real estate values have not gone down; they have increased. Alhambra has also experienced an increase in Oriental population along with some Oriental signs - area seems to be prospering. Also, San Marino has increased Oriental population, but have had no sign problems. Mr. Robinson also commented on what had transpired at the Planning Commission meetings during the Commission's deliberations. Mr. Robinson felt City officials should see to it that there are no public utterances which might contribute to a negative reaction. Herb Fletcher, 175 W. Lemon Avenue, said, in part, that he doesn't see a problem with signs and commented, in part, that people can't read other signs in languages such as German, French, etc., but, of course, they are in Roman letters; whereas the Oriental signs are in script form... he felt the proposed sign ordinance is racist, he has never had a problem with the Oriental people living in the City. 9/17/85 -3- 4. PUBLIC HEARING BEST DISPOSAL (CONTI NUED) 25: 1330 Charles Chivetta, 106 E. Longden Avenue, felt that legibility and readability are terms for definition ... that it appears the City is coming up with regulations which are diametrically opposed to the community's goodwill. It was MOVED by Counci1member Young, seconded by Counci1member Lojeski and CARRIED that the public hearing be CLOSED. Counci1member Gi1b said the sign ordinance is not racist; that the letters and/or possibly some illustration on the s1gns would let the people know what the business was even if they did not read English. This will merely conform to the community and felt it is a fair ordinance. I Counci1member Lojeski said he totally agreed with Counci1member Gi1b He.had received telephone calls from a representative of the Los Angeles Times trying to tie this into a certain group of people. He felt the Planning Commission and staff had spent a lot of time on the matter of the readability of the signs. He also felt it important to add the discretionary clause that only the Staff Planner or Associate Planner should have discretionary power. Counci1member Young agreed. Mayor Pe 11 egri no a 1 so agreed and noted he once had an Ita 1 ian restaurant in Arcadia and he would not have lasted 22 years if he had put his sign up in Italian -- he needed to have everyone able to read his sign so he would have business. If, after all, the purpose of a sign is to bring in business, it should be readable by a large percentage of the population. Counci1member Gi1b stated that anyone who wants to come into the community should come -- he felt that everyone should know something of the histOrY of the City and how we live here. Charles Chivetta was permitted to again address Council, He asked if the matter of safety was a real issue. Police or paramedics could request addresses of buildings. On a call, they are looking for addresses not signs. It was MOVED by Counci1member Young, seconded by Counci1member Gi1b and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that Text Amendment 85-6 be APPROVED; that the Negative Declaration be approved and filed; find the Text Amendment will not have a significant effect on the environ- ment; and staff be directed to prepare the appropriate ordinance for introduction including the discretionary language. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Counci1members Gilb, Hannah, Lojeski, Young and Pellegrino None None I The request of the Best Disposal Company for an increase in its s i ng1 e fami 1y res i denti a,l refuse rates was CONTINUED to an i ndefi n ite date pending pertinent data from the Company. When the material is submitted, this will be placed on a future agenda. 9/17/85 -4- 5. DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION PROGRAMS " ,i f :~'o8 1- I T R A N S C R I P T P R E p A R E o I 25: 1331 Council scheduled this public hearing to afford the public an opportu- nity to comment on the proposed specific implementation programs con- tained in the Downtown Revitalization Plan. The recommendations con- tain specific implementation programs, priorities, cost estimates, funding sources and timing estimates. These are the result of all the various inputs received to date including those from the con- sultants (Willdan Associates), Planning Commission, Parking Place Commission, Downtown tenants, owners and the general public. Mayor Pellegrino declared the hearing open and the,following persons spoke: TRANSCRIPT HAS BEEN PREPARED ON THIS ITEM. SUMMARY Arthur Hershey, President of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, said, on behalf of the Chamber, that it is a step in the right direction as far as revitalization is concerned. There are problems in the down- town area that will take years to resolve. Charles Chivetta, 106 E. Longden Avenue, said he felt the entire City should be considered, not just one area ... all business areas need help. Bill Connelly, 21 S. First Avenue, submitted his observations about ~report and cited parking as one of the major problems for the businessmen in the area. He asked if Council approves the recommenda- tion how long would a businessman have to improve his property or would he have to wait or could a date be set as to when he could obtain financial assistance? Staff advised that the program would have to be set up before he could go ahead... that it cannot be made retro- active. Eugene Palozzi, 9146 E. Huntington Drive, San Gabriel, spoke briefly to what he could do with his corner ... the 100 to 1 Club at 100 W. Huntington Drive. (Mr. Palozzi spoke later in the meeting to this particular subject.) Robert E. Caldwell, 326 Joyce Avenue, owner of a business at 29 S. First Avenue, said he has witnessed many accidents at Alta and First Avenue ... that if a traffic signal is placed at Wheeler and First Avenue synchronized with the signal at First and Huntington, vehicles would be able to speed through the intersection and proceed south on First Avenue with no stopping until Diamond Street. He suggested that this problem be solved by including it in the revitalization implementation program. Don Kleckner, 27 Hidden Valley Road, Monrovia, said, in part, that ~has taken so long to get something going in the area ... twelve years ... that recently the owners were given a period of only lB days to submit plans for a letter of intent... that if the Council wants revitalization it should go ahead ... if it wants redevelop- ment, it should go ahead ... that he supports the Council as long as it is fair. Arthur Palfrey, 15, 17, 19! Alta Street, felt a little discouraged ... he and his tenants do not know what to do ... there is talk about a- parking district being formed on the south of Huntington ... it is all hearsay... he would appreciate knowing what is being contemplated and what is going to come about in the next few years. Mr. Palfrey will discuss this with the City Manager. No one else desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilmember Young, seconded by Councilmember Gilb and CARRIED. 9/17 /85 -5- 6. 7. 7a. ROLL CALL 7b.

Lemon, referred once again to the City charging~for Paramedic Service, which he felt is unfair., He I read portions of a report from Fire Chief Gardner which was in- cluded in a communication to him (Fletcher) from Mayor Pellegrino dustifying charging to transport patients in the Paramedic ambulance. Mr. Fletcher still felt the City is overcharging Arcadia residents for the service. Eugene Palozzi, 9146 E. Huntington Drive, San Gabriel, said, in part, that he had received a communication from Pete Kinnahan advising him that the City was sending appraisers out to his property and business at 100 W. Huntinqton Drive (the 100 to 1 Club). He asked how the City is involved and submitted what he felt the property is worth and what Charles Bluth has offered. Mr. Palozzi said further, in part, that he would like to improve his property but not if the City is going to make a parking lot out of it. He was advised that the City does not have an interest in his property.,. that any transactions or discus- sion are between Mr. Palozzi and Mr. Bluth ... that having the appraisals must have come from previous discussions when Mr. Bluth said he would pay for the appraisals ,.. the City is not in any way involved.

The' tower is being designed to accommodate up to three, six foot parabolic dishes ... only one is to be installed. Council expressed concern and a representative from the USFS, Robert Jeffrey, 701 N. Santa Anita, introduced Vaughn Hayes, Supervisor/Electronic Technician in charge of all communication electronics for the Angeles National Forest who responded to questions thusly; The antenna would be 30 feet above the freeway (have to bring them 15' above truck height); the parabolic dish would. be 6 feet in diameter ... be mounted vertically and aiming toward Mt. Lukens to the north- west ... toward Mt. Wilson. The tower is designed for 3 dishes, but they have no intention of adding two more. The Planning Director said, in part, that the residential people could be visually affected, but did not believe it significant enough to require an environmental impact report. The tower, Mr. Hayes said, would blend in with the existing tower. Council reviewed some pictures. As to alternate sites, Mr, Hayes said there aren't any... except to spend a lot of taxpayer's money to figure out where to put it in another relay system. They have to be above the large trucks on the freeway and have to be above for a fade margin. Counci1member Gi1b submitted, in part, that, for instance, the Union Oil signs are so high they are seen from the freeway... they are about 60 feet... they are 1 ighted ... at least this one is not going to be lighted '" that if they do not put up the antenna, how are they going to carryon with their business ... if a forest fire should occur, everyone would be glad it is up there. Counci1member Lojeski felt that, due to the visual impact, he would like to see other alternatives researched ... he did not like the 60 foot high tower and would like to protect the aesthetics of the mountainsides for the homeowners. He would like to go on record and restated his views as a MOTION which was seconded by Counci1- member Young. Roll call was then taken on the record motion made by Counci1member Lojeski, seconded by Counci1member Young.
