Mayor Young declared the hearing open, and
Narcis Aroyan , 529 E, Live Oak, the applicant, explained in detail
that the lot is 24,000 square feet and 10,000 square feet are not
paved; that the building and the canopy over the pumps are old. The
remaining 14,000 square feet are utilized by the service station
and 4~000 square feet of this would accommodate retail stores excluding
the sale of liquor and fast food, New service bays would be installed I
and the canopy would be remodeled. Over 1,700 square feet of landscaping
would be installed. Flow of traffic shou~.i!t be no problem, since there
are four driveways -- two on Live Oak and two on Sixth Avenue. Minor
repairs only will be performed on autos and, if parked overnight, will
be parked in the service bays. Two handicapped restrooms are to be
added. The retail shops will include a gift shop and florist shop.
There will be a total of 30 parking spaces -- more than required.
Mr. Aroyan felt the neighborhood is very attractive with new buildings
across the street -- new homes with nice landscaping and very well
maintained. He felt this would be the best use of the property to make
an attractive corner.
Councilmember Gilb questioned if body work on autos would be performed
and if cars under repair would be parked indefinitely, Also, if cars
with repairs not paid for would be kept at the station, Mr, Aroyan said
that this had never been a problem -- customers always able to pay for
repairs.
Harold Witt, 2523 Sixth Avenue, owner of an apartment building next
door was in favor of the project .,. that it will help beautify the
neighborhood.
Dick Davis resides in subject neighborhood, said he felt the corner has
been an eyesore for 39 years and that, since the people who presently'
own it have been there,it has been neater than he could ever remember
and felt this development would definitely improve that corner.
Tony Tatre, 3102 Hempstead, spoke in favor of the project and said the
new litt e shopping center across the street has done wonders for the
nei ghborhood and thi s one wi 11 " too.
Ray Brockus, 1309 Standish Street said that he would like to know if
the City had a plan. Says there are mini-shopping centers springing up
allover town and wanted to know if the City was moving in any direction
in this regard, He felt Council should decide.
Narcis Aroyan, 529 E. Live Oak, submitted a petition which has been I
signed by a number of the neighbors including the minister of the '.
neighboring church, landlords, tenants of nearby apartment'.buildings as
well as homeowners, He also read an excerpt from the Arcadia Tribune
of March 12, 1986 which stated that this "may be the best utilization
of this lot that we are going to see".
Councilmember Gilb inquired about the hoursr,ilf operation. Mr. Ardyan
said 8 a. m. to 8 p. m,
No one else desiring to be heard, the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councileember Gilb, seconded by Councilmember Lojeski and CARRIED.
During the discussion, Councilmember Chandler said, in part, that he
has visited the corner and felt the neighborhood needed the convenience
of a gas station, and there would be no alcohol or fast food sold and
that two. of the businesses would be. owned and operated by the owners
of the station there should not be any problems.

BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
Consideration of Planning Commission recommendation regarding petition
requesting zone change for properties on Eighth and Tenth Avenues and
consideration of temporary ordinance placing a moratorium of 45 days
on new development. Staff report presented. Counci1member Harbicht
inquired how many of the 88 parcels were large enough for horses - staff
replied 39, Councilmember Harbicht inquired if some of the parcels could
be broken into two lots. Staff replied "no" because they are long and
deep and would not have the frontage necessary, Councilmember Harbicht
wondered about the 15 of 39 who did not sign the petition and whether~or
not a moratorium was the way to go. Staff replied that a "grandfather"
clause for the horses was a possibility. Mayor Young felt that a
moratorium would be useful until decision is made as to where Council
js going with this.
Counci1member Chandler inquired about the effect this might have on
properties presently being sold or in escrow. Staff replied that it
would affect an escrow, Councilmember Chandler said further, in part,
that it might possibly affect plans of property owners in the area
because of the possibil ity of a change in zon,ing, and did not see the
value of a moratorium. Councilmember Lojeski said he would like to
have staff come forth with more information and that the moratorium could
provide a period for fact finding. Mayor Young reminded Council that
owners of certain of the horse properties had been before Council previously
and had pointed out that if new developments come into the area and .
build houses within 100 feet of their property line, the horses would
have to be moved away even though the proprty owners may have kept
horses there for 50 years. It was noted that the Text Amendment would
not be unique to this area but would be City-wide. The City Manager
advised, in part, that the moratorium could be extended beyond the
45 days. Councilmember Chandler inquired if this moratorium would prohibit
the issuance of building permits in the area. Staff replied that it
would not; and that property owners in the area can sell their property
on an "as is" basis.
The City Attorney then caused to have read in full by the Planning
Di rector, Urgency Ord i nance No, 1834, entitled: "AN URGENCY ORDINANCE

Proposed Disposition and Development Agreement for a commercial mixed
use development on the South side of Huntington Drive, East of Second
Avenue, by Stanley W. Gribble and Associates. It is a 9.1 acre site
which presently consists o( the City Yard, the Continuing School. 4
residences and 6 commercial properties. The proposed qeve10pmeDt
would include a retail shop section of a minimum of 26,465 sq. ft., and
a maximum of 41,165 sq. ft.. at least two quality restaurants of a minimum
of 14,000 sq. ft. to a maximum of 29,000 SQ. ft.. and one and Dossib1y two
office buildings of three to five stories,_ totalJ.ing a minimum of 88,000 I
sq, ft" and a maximum of 149,000 sq. ft.
Staff advised that the Agency offered the owners and the tenants the
opportunity to participate in the South side Gribble Development in
August of 1985 and later extended their time period to reply. Follow-
ing consideration, the Agency on February 18, 1986 determined that all
owners and tenants had an opportunity to participate in the Agency's
development. Both the Developer and the Agency have complied with the
terms of the Exclusive Right to Negotiate and the Developer's Good Faith
deposit of $60,000 for the ERN period should therefore be returned.
The Environmental Impact Report prepared by the Planning Center with
the traffic and parking analysis prepared by Barton-Aschman and Associates
reviewed all of the environmental impacts of both the original site plan
and the site plan and uses as revised during the Exclusive Right to
Negotiate period.
THE ABOVE IS A SUMMARY OF THE REPORT PRESENTED BY STAFF, (REPORT ON
FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK.)
~layor/Chaini1an Young declared the hearing open and
Bruce Low, 333 E. Huntington Drive said, in part, that he is in favor
of the proposed project; that it will be good for the area and for
business, However, he is concerned about the traffic pattern and would
hope that provisions are taken which would permit traffic going east
on Huntington Drive to have a turn-in pocket to his place of business
as they depend on such traffic ... being able to enter his automobile
agency is very important,
No one else to be heard, the hearing was closed on MOTION by Member
Gi1b, seconded by Member Lojeski and CARRIED.
The Assistant City Manager for Economic Development then presented and
read the titles of the following resolutions: RESOLUTION NO. 5297:

reason for this condition was that it was felt that with the bays
open, persons travelling on Santa Anita Avenue will be able to see into
the building, The Applicant, La Porte Street, Ltd,) strongly objects
to this change.
Councilmember Lojeski stated that he felt anything will improve the
area and he did not think it would be possible to see into the business
if the doors were open.
Chairman Young declared the hearing open.
I
Ron O'Day one of the developers, stated, in part, that they had the
same concerns, but did not think it would develop into a problem
because there would be a three foot wall and landscaping so people
probably would not be able to see from the street. Mr. O!Day felt that
there might be animosity between the tenants of the building and
apartment house if the building were reversed from the original plan,
Bill Lieschman, Developer, 77 W. Del Mar, Pasadena, general.partner of
La Porte, Ltd., stated, in part, that the building would be almost
identical to one built at 127 E. St. Joseph, Pictures of that building
were circulated, He said it will be a handsome project and an improvement
to the neighborhood.
Chairman Young felt there would be a problem of auto doors being opened
and closed late at night thereby disturbing the tenants of the apartment
building if the parking lot were next to the apartments. Inquiry was
made of the developer as to the type of businesses occupying the premises.
Answer was that it would be light use enterprise and possibly sometimes
work would be done in the evenings or perhaps Saturdays since these
would be small businesses. Member Harbicht inquired if the awnings
shown were to be installed. Answer yes. Member Harbicht said he was
somewhat concerned about the visibility from Santa Anita but thought
that parking away from apartments was also important.
It was MOVED by Member Gilb, seconded by Member Lojeski and CARRIED
on roll call vote as follows that the Design Review at 15 E, La Porte
Street be APPROVED per Applicant's proposal (on easterly part of the
site - not the westerly).

Consideration of the City Manager's recommendation concerning an I
addition to the police facility... that is, to complete the range
building alterations as originally planned at a cost of $100,000 ".
estimated alteration costs at $60,000 and estimated furnishings and
equipment costs at $30,000 with $5,000 for minor repairs and alterations
within the police facility itself and $5,000 for design assistance.
Police Chief Johnson responded to questions and felt this addition
would inur to the benefit of all personnel in his department -- both
women and men -- the need for women's facilities was emphasized and
the new addition would include those,
Councilmember Gilb MOVED to approve the recommendation of the Citv
Manager for the $100,000, mot i on seconded by Mayor Yo.unq,Jl':undLiD_

Councilmember Lojeski also referred to the cash flow summary which
to him was very sobering '" he would rather wait until the budget
is reviewed and considered ... there may be changes there and then
there would be bigger problems, He felt that Council had demonstrated
good faith with the three year package voted last year for the police.
Councilmember Harbicht agreed and said that he felt that they need to
tighten their belts at this time.
Mayor Young said that the Council has tightened its belt from a major
remodeling job to this $100,000 remodeling, She does not feel that it
is wasted money, but will provide for more efficient operation of the
police facility,
Councilmember Chandler said he did not feel that the $100,000 was too
much money, More than just cost is involved here ... the City loses
$40,000 every time an officer leaves because it costs that much to
train an officer. He cited personal experience with such situations,
Councilmember Harbicht replied that the question is timinq -- not
need and that $100,000 at this time is just wrong,
Councilmember Gilb said he felt the Council had demonstrated good
faith with the Police Department last year with the retirement plan
which the City could barely afford at the time.
Councilmember Chandler said further, in part, that the cash flow projec-
tion shows that there may be enough money to build a new police facility
in 1988 and felt that Council could just keep adding six months and
another six months indefinitely. -- ----
