IcJ~O -1,/ 4, PUBLIC HEARING 4a. (J.,~: () . 6l TA 00{X)4 Consideration of the report and recommendation to approve Text Amendment 99- (Revisions-R-1 ard 004, proposed revisions to the R-1 and R-O zoning regulations. The text amendment R-OZonin;J Reg,) was initiated by the Development Services Department at the direction of the City 0f'PROVED) Council to address revisions to the Arcadia Municipal Code relating to the scale, mass and bulk of residential dwellings, The Planning Commission at its June 8, 1999 meeting recommended approval of Text Amendment 99-004 subject to specific changes outlined in July 20, 1999 staff report, In the late 1980's the City began to experience what would soon be coined "mansionization" in the single-family zoned areas. Dwelling were constructed which were significantly larger and more massive than the traditional ranch-style homes that were the predominant architectural style throughout the City. As a result the I City, in an attempt to address these issues initiated text changes to reduce the scale and massiveness of the dwellings being constructed. including overall allowable building height, increasing the setback requirements and including a lot coverage requirement in the code, Although these regulations have been effective in increasing the setbacks and lowering the building heights, the regulations proposed in text amendment 99-004 are another attempt at reducing the mass and scale of Single-family dwellings. In addition, the proposed regulations incorporate all sections of the code relating to single-family zones, providing a complete package of regulations that address all residential requirements, Following the presentation Mayor Chandler OPENED the public hearing. Kenneth Schmidt, 534 Workman Avenue, stated in part that he was in receipt of a recent flyer produced by the Arcadia Association of Realtors which opposed the proposed regulations under consideration. He questioned the number of realtors in the Association who actually live in Arcadia, Mr. Schmidt mentioned the newer "monstrous" homes constructed adjacent to his property and the beautiful old trees that were torn down, and flower beds which were cemented over. He believes the Arcadia Board of Realtors is trying to frighten Arcadians by intimating that homeowners might lose money if tighter zoning laws are approved. Mr. Schmidt believes the new zoning would enhance property values, along with Arcadia schools and fine neighborhoods and add to the quality of life. Terry Earll, President of the Arcadia Association of Realtors, stated in part, a large I percentage of Arcadia realtors have always been for the preservation of private property rights, protecting property values and controlling govemment regulation on 2 7/20/99 41:0178 I private property, The Association agrees with most of the recommendations of the Planning Commission, Mr. Earll pointed out the Planning Commission recommendations to which the Association is opposed, and noted changes the Association would prefer, On behalf of the Board, Mr, Earll said, overall the Association wished to continue with the 1991 R-O and R-1 regulations. In the opinion of the board, the proposed new regulations would result in an immediate reduction in property values in many cases, and would cause almost all properlies in the City to become non-conforming, RalDh Bicker, 101 White Oak Drive, member of the Highland Oaks Home Owners Association, Chairman, Architectural Review Board (ARB). reported the Highland Oaks HOA Board supports staffs original recommendations regarding 50% Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and other newly proposed regulations, The Board believes the new regulations would help the ARB maintain reasonable compatibility with the areas architecture, I Gordon Maddock, 45 Christina Street, Arcadia realtor, stated in part, the Arcadia Board of Realtors reviewed the new regulations proposed by staff and the Planning Commission and agreed with all but five out of twenty-seven proposals, The Association's greatest concerns are the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and the increase in rear yard setbacks, These proposals would drastically reduce the buildable area of a lot, the value of a residential lot in Arcadia would probably drop 20-40%, according to Mr. Maddock, It is his belief if these regulations are adopted it would throw 10,000 Arcadia homes into non-conforming status, and impact those homeowners who purchased such property with the intention of adding additional space to their hDme, Such owners would have to go before the City's Modification Committee for a modification, Mr. Maddock questioned the modification process and the guidelines the Committee might apply to its decision making process, Mark Dmvtrow, 2506 Greenfield Avenue, realtor, commented that he agrees with the majority of the Planning Commission recommendations regarding the proposed regulations, However, in his opinion, the size of a home based on square footage does not necessarily dictate whether or not a home will look offensive. Architectural style and geometric makeup has a greater impact on overall appearance. Controlling setbacks and angle projections can accomplish more and address overall size of appearance. Mr. Dmytrow suggested the FAR be eliminated. He would also like to see the garage limitations changed to a 60% front footage and the garage linear footage at 40% for lots with 75 feet of frontage to allow for three garage spaces. Mr. Dmytrow was also in favor of new regulations that would require the addition of mature trees to new home construction sites. Larry Hasbrouck, 2721 Caroline Way, noted that he agrees with the proposed changes to the R-O and R-1 zoning regulations, It is his opinion that the new larger homes being built are basically very ugly. And it is not true that real estate values will decline if new regulations are imposed, It is projected that Los Angeles County will have tremendous growth in the future. People want to locate in Arcadia because the schools are safe and Arcadia is a nice piace to live, The building of the large homes in his area has created a "serf and lord of the manor" atmosphere which he does not like. I Tonv Henrich, 431 North Altura Road, Past President of the Rancho Santa Anita Residents Homeowners Association, stated in part, that the issue before the Council is the quality and preservation of homes and neighborhoods. Arcadia has always been a community of beautiful homes and the Village and Lower Rancho HOA's want to keep it that way, The voice and opinions of the home owners is represented by a petition signed by 600 residents in these areas, He believes the Homeowners 3 7/20/99 41:0179 Associations and ARB's have helped preserve the beauty and harmony of neighborhoods in these two areas, The zoning changes under consideration will help I ensure that the expected growth in his area will in fact, be harmonious and help preserve home values, Mr. Henrich noted that neighboring cities have adopted similar regulations, some of which are considerably more stringent in some areas than those proposed for Arcadia, including lower encroachment levels and caps on square footage of houses. The Village and Lower Rancho Associations strongly support the Planning Department's recommendations for the FAR, moreover, they request an additional FAR limitation of 35% which could be specific to these two HOA's, Laurie Thompson, 229 Altura Road. Chairperson, Village Association, ARB, explained in detail the guidelines the ARB must address when considering a proposed project within its area, Mrs. Thompson advised the Village Association retained a certified real estate appraiser to perform an analysis of existing homes within the Village area which she distributed to the Council for review. She noted the average FAR in the Village area is 19% without a garage and 24% with a garage, Further, statistics were presented of home size, to lot size, noting that 90% of the Village homes fall below 40% FAR and almost 95% below a 35% FAR. Dolores Folev, 320 Cambridge Drive, Vice-President of the Rancho Santa Anita Residents Association, stated in part that Arcadia should maintain reasonable parity with surrounding cities with regard to building standards and not become a mecca for breakneck over building in San Gabriel Valley. Mrs, Foley presented a survey taken in said surrounding cities which indicated that no comparable city has a FAR as low as the 50% proposed by the Planning Commission. Jim Kellv, 946 Coronado Drive, Village ARB, stated in part that the Association recognizes that Arcadia is a community of neighborhoods and one size FAR does not fit all when it comes to scale and scope of homes. On behalf of the Association, Mr. Kelly requested that Council approve a 35% FAR ceiling within the Village and Lower Rancho HOA boundaries which would still allow for tremendous expansion of existing homes and construction of new residences while placing some reasonable limit that would assist the Association in maintaining design harmony. It has been proven that reasonable control of design and architectural harmony does not reduce property values, but does in fact bolster values, Mr. Kelly urged Council to adopt the new residential zoning requirements drafted by the Planning Department, and commence the process to consider the adoption of a zoning overlay for the Homeowner Association areas which would reflect reasonable size limits based on the data presented. I Robert Ho, 51 West Palm Drive, realtor, stated in part, that he do not like some of the big mansions although there have been some nice looking larger homes built also, He realized the problem is architectural harmony and design. Nancv Quon, realtor and Arcadia home owner, expressed concem about the proposed FAR and garage size for people who have small lots. She hoped Council would compromise with a 75 foot minimum frontage, 60% building and 40% garage space, which would accommodate a three car garage, Bill Spuck. 531 Campesina Road, Board Member, Rancho Santa Anita Residents HOA, stated in part, that the City needs to recognize that the 1991 R-O and R-1 zone changes did not fix the problem of huge home building even in areas of homeowner I associations which have architectural review. The architectural review cannot over power the size and other restrictions established by the City Council. Mr. Spuck noted his Association concurs with the staff recommendations and urged Council 4 7/20/99 41:0180 I approval. He noted also, the Association prefers a 35% FAR which, as demonstrated to Council, is quite adequate for the homes within the area of these Associations. Nancv Dom, 1410 Rancho Road, realtor, stated in part that not all realtors agree with the Realty Board, She believes the realtors who have spoken at this meeting mostly represent builders, Mrs, Dorn does not believe that limiting the size of Arcadia homes would be detrimental to property values. The majority of her clients come to Arcadia because they like the mature trees, landscaping, the view of the mountains, the privacy of their own backyards, the conformity of the neighborhoods,.. these are the amenities that make Arcadia so popular. Mrs. Dorn noted neighboring cities have more strict building codes which has not hurt their property values at all, in fact, this has increased property values, Mrs, Dorn urged Council to vote for the staff recommendations, Svlvia Bartlett. 910 Hampton Road, Past President of Rancho Santa Anita Property Owners Association, realtor, stated in part that she supports the staff recommendations because she believes the changes will help retain the qualities that make Arcadia a special place to live, Ms. Bartlett does not believe stricter zoning regulations will reduce property values, conversely, property values will increase, Julie Swab, 1717 South Second Avenue, noted she does not like what has happened on Second Avenue, the 1991 zone changes did not prevent big monster houses from being built. Ms. Swab expressed concern that the large houses build adjacent to her home will hurt the value of her property when she decides to sell her home. I Robert Tono, 141 West Naomi Avenue, designer, noted that he is basically happy about the zone changes recommended by the Planning Commission, He noted that 'his clients want to build large homes and garages facing the street. They also like two story houses, Mr, Tong further explained his experience with the design of homes for small lots and clients who wish to have three car garages and two-story entrances. Bob Franklin, 255 West Las Flores, noted that, of all the issues mentioned by other speakers, the privacy issue was not part of the discussion, He feels the new mega two-story houses destroy the privacy of the neighbors backyards. He has planted sixteen trees in his backyard in order to block the view from his neighbors second story . Miles Naoasaki, 427 Old Ranch Road, a new resident in Arcadia, stated, in part, that it took him sixteen years since graduating college to be able to afford a home in Arcadia, He is proud that he is able to provide a good school system and nice community living for his family. Mr. Nagasaki urged the City Council to adopt staff recommendations and vote yes for a 50% FAR, or even go further with the recommendation of the Village Association of having a %35 FAR in order to preserve the human and natural element of community. I Ginoer Jerosz, 46 North Golden West, expressed her appreciation to the Homeowners Association representatives for representing her interest very well, however, she is concerned about the south Arcadia residents who donl have Homeowners Association, These citizens pay their taxes, lived in Arcadia for years and raised families, now they have found their rights as homeowners have been encroached upon and their privacy has been affected, Ms. Jerosz noted, she is in favor of restricted FAR and she would like to see Arcadia, with the help of the people's elected officials, maintain not only for represented areas but also for entire 5 7/20/99 41:0181 City and for people that have invested their entire lives in the City, I Ron Eilev, 242 East Newman Avenue, expressed his disagreement with the required additional parking space for dwellings with five (5) or more bedrooms, stating, in part, that he has four children and would like to have five bedrooms but because of the lot width he will not be able to have a' three car garage, Also he expressed concem in regard to rear yard setbacks, reducing pedestrian walkways, vehicular accessways and paved areas from 50% to 40%, He felt pUlling all these restrictions on will generate problems and would become increasingly difficult to fit all situations, Ji Han, 436 Catalpa Road. commented tonight is the real reason why he moved to this great country twenty-five years ago. The process is working. we hear both sides of issues, debate it, argued it, now it is up to the City Council to make a wise decision, We need to move on and live with the outcome, so don't come back in year 2005 and say 1999 did not work, just move on and we will live with it. Pamela Olender, 1000 Coronado Drive, President of Santa Anita Community Homeowners Association, stated in part, the Village HOA is asking for 35% FAR because of the larger lots in the area, The Village area is meant for people that have small young children, the area is not meant to be mansionized, She is not in favor of the three car garages facing the front of the property and in her opinion a solution to that problem is to make double deep garages by putting two cars in front and one in the back, Mrs, Olender noted during the past ten days when she was walking the street to collect signatures for the petition she noticed that 99% of the Village residents are in favor of 35% FAR, and reducing not only the size in math, but the actual size of the homes in their neighborhood, No one else came forward to address the Council. I It was MOVED by Councilmember Kovacic, seconded by Councilmember Marshall and CARRIED to CLOSE the Public Hearing, Following the public hearing staff responded to concerns expressed by the Council regarding building height, front yard setback and number of parking spaces, Mayor Pro tem Harbicht commented that most of the proposed restrictions affect smaller lots, A 7500 sq, ft, lot, which is a standard lot size in Arcadia, these various restrictions, in terms of setbacks. angles from the street, already addresses some of this floor area (FAR) concern, Codes that are currently in place have some restrictions on lot coverage and angles, Councilmember Kovacic felt that the City is ignoring landscaping, which goes a long way in mitigating the impact of the size of a structure, Staff is hoping that by reducing the size of a structure, somehow compatible architecture will follow. Mayor Chandler felt that residents within Homeowners Association areas have a way to meet and share ideas and therefor they are more united, Mr. Chandler expressed concern in regard to south Arcadia residents. who do not belong to any association. r I ! Counilmember Kovacic stated, in part, that two of the homeowner associations requested that the City Council adopt overlays affecting properties within their association areas. Mr. Kovacic requested the City Council direct staff to bring back information for Councils consideration at a future date in regard to a procedure that a homeowners association should follow in order to request an overlay on property, I 6 7/20/99 41:0182 I Mayor Pro tem Harbicht stated, in part, that the City has rules and regulations in regard to forming a homeowners association. He felt the City should initiate an apparatus in regard to requested overlays affecting properties within homeowner association areas and he would like to see that issue put to a vote of the affected people. Councilmember Roncelli requested the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners Association be included in this study of overlay on properties within a homeowner association, Hearing Council consensus, the Mayor said this was direction to staff to prepare the appropriate document for Council's consideration, Councilmember Roncelli expressed appreciation to tonight speakers and thanked staff for their hard work, Mr. Roncelli stated, in part that the problem we are facing tonight started few years ago, We have homeowners associations and architectural review boards and they have succeeded in not letting over-sized homes to be built. Mr. Roncelli suggested all residents form homeowners association and have their own architectural review board to protect their neighborhoods. I Council member Marshall commented that stricter building controls would lead to better neighborhood appearance and consistency. She felt the Planning Commission and staff did an excellent job of addressing the requested zone changes. Ms, Marshall stated, in part, although the City can not limit property owners on the style of a structure, but could adjust codes to force architects to make these homes more harmonious in the neighborhoods. Ms. Marshall prefers a sliding scale type regulation for both. small and large lots in the City to address each lot individually. In consideration of staffs summary of R-1 and R-O regulations, the City Council discussed and determined as follows: R-1 Zoning Regulations: Minimum lot dimensions: Width - 75 feet, Depth - 100 feet.
