I 2 11/17/98 I I I 40:0285 10. PUBLIC Consideration of the report and recommendation to approve Zone Change 98-001. This HEARING zone change was initiated by the City to amend the current C-2 (general commercial) Z 98-001 zoning designation for the property located at 55 West Huntington Drive, the fonner ADD H5 HIGH Foulger Ford site, by adding an H5 high rise overlay to allow a maximum of six (5) RISE OVERLAY stories (55' height limit). (55 W. Htg.) (APPROVED) O<::'f!v- '/0 The Planning Commission at its August 25th meeting, by a majority vote, voted to recommend approval of an H5 overlay on the front 200' of the subject property, extending back from Huntington Drive. The remaining portion of the lot would remain C- 2 which allows a maximum height of three (3) stories (40' height). The November 3, 1998 staff report noted that the Commission's recommendation to restrict the H5 overlay to the front 200 feet of the property is a compromise that provides flexibility, and at the same time protects the residential property owners west of the site. In addition. the Arcadia Municipal Code requires a conditional use pennit for any building in excess of three (3) stories (40' height). The staff report noted also that the Development Services Department recommended that the H5 high rise overlay be added to the entire site, which would remove the stated 200' restriction at the front of the property. Following the staff report. staff responded to Council's questions regarding the proposed zone change. Councilmember Roncelli questioned the process of rezoning the property at this time which could increase the selling price and make it harder to find a buyer. Mayor Kovacic opened the hearing for public comment. Art Garcia, representing Mr. Adkins, owner of 55 West Huntington Drive, as his real estate representative, stated in part, that he and Mr. Adkins concur with the staff recommendation to zone the entire property H5 with an high rise overlay. Mr. Garcia advised that there is presently no offer in place for the subject property, which he has been attempting to sell for two years. The real estate market, until recently, has been very soft. With the improvement in mortgage interest rates there is now more opportunity for a sale. Michael Guidolin, San Antonio Road, stated in part, that he paid a lot to move into Arcadia, mostly for the view of the mountains and the beautiful area. He visits the County Park nearly everyday with his wife and daughter. It is his opinion that high rise construction on the site under discussion would obstruct the view of the mountains from the County Park. Mr. Guidolin urged Council to consider why people come to live in Arcadia. No one else desiring to address the Council, it was MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Marshall and CARRIED to CLOSE the public hearing. In the discussion Mayor Kovacic noted the role of the Council is to decide the zoning on this property and the use. He is in favor of the H5 high rise overlay on the entire site. Councilmember Harbicht stated in part that, zoning is the way Council expresses to the world at large that this is the kind of development Council is willing to accept in this particular area. He is in favor of the H5 55' height and staffs recommendation that the H5 high rise overlay be added to the entire site. Councilmember Marshall is in favor of rezoning the property to the 55' height limit. Mayor Pro tem Chandler commented that Council needs to express what is acceptable 3 11/17/98 11. 40:0286 on the subject site. He IS in favor of an H6 high rise overlay on the entire site. It was MOVED by Council member Harbicht, seconded by Mayor Pro tern Chandler and I CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE Zone Change 98-001, adding an H6 (High Rise Overlay) to the C-2 zoned property located at 55 West Huntington Drive without the 200' restriction to the front of the property, and; DIRECT staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance for adoption at a later meeting.

This element of the project addresses maintenance and repair problems with City Hall restrooms. These restrooms are outdated and need of major plumbing improvements. Currently, the men's restroom is partially out of service and cannot be repaired without major expense.

City Manager Kelly stated. in part, that this POSITION position is budgeted within this fiscal year and is an approved position. (Fire Dept.) In response to Councilmember Marshall's question regarding re-hiring the firefighters that the City lost previously, Mr. Kelly stated, from the four firefighters that left City service three have permanent jobs with other agencies, one came back on a contract basis as an interim firefighter. It was MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht, seconded by Mayor Pro tern Chandler and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to AUTHORIZE staff to fill one Firefighter position in the Fire Department. Council member Harbicht commented, in part, that he feels it is time for the City Council to consider getting back to running the City in a business like manner and letting the department heads fill the positions which the City Council has already authorized, instead of coming before the Council every time an employee retires or leaves the City. Mayor Pro tern Chandler, suggested Council discuss this issue at a future meeting. Mayor Kovacic stated that he felt that this policy plays a role in training and education of not only the public but also the Council about the operations of the City. And he is in favor of seeing the policy remain intact for the balance of the year: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Chandler, Harbicht, Marshall, Roncelli and Kovacic None None 14b. on~'" 70 RESOLUTION As a result of the possible sale of the race track property, the City Council at its NO. 6086 November 3, 1998 meeting directed staff to prepare a resolution reaffirming the City's (Live Horse position of supporting live horse racing at Santa Anita Park. Resolution No. 6086 was Racing) presented for adoption to that end this date. (ADOPTED) Consideration of the report and recommendation regarding land use issues on the Santa Anita Race Track property and, if determined to be appropriate, direction of staff to proceed with the actions necessary to support Council's land use recommendations for the subject property. With the potential sale of the subject property, the City must be prepared to respond to possible buyers who may wish to maximize the potential of the overall property. Depending on the buyer, the opportunities for development mayor may not include the continued operation of the racing facility, according to the staff report. The City, by law, has certain land use authority. Any land use changes on the Santa Anita property require City Council approval. The General Plan adopted in 1996, designated 85 acres in the south parking lot as "Commercial" with a floor area ratio of thirty percent (30%) which would allow approximately 1.1 million square feet of commercial'development on site upon approval of a specific plan. The underlying zoning of the site is S-1 (Special Use Zone) and R-1 (Second One-Family Residential). The S-1 zoning is the predominant zoning; primarily located in the center of the property where the race track and grandstands are located. The R-1 zoning is located along the northerly property line adjacent to Colorado Place and the "college" streets, and the 7 11/17/98 ROLL CALL 40:0290 southerly property line adjacent to Huntington Drive. The R-l area is primarily developed with parking, stables and ancillary uses. The S-l zoning regulations permit I the operation of the race track as well as any use permitted in R-O and R-l zones. Residential is currently inconsistent with the General Plan "Horse Racing" designation. The S-l zoning is consistent with the "Horse Racing" designation. The proposed Specific Plan filed by Santa Anita Enterprises, Inc. for a commercial center on the southerly eighty five (85) acres of the race track parking lot would create a special zone (SP-l) which would be consistent with the "Commercial" General Plan designation. The R-l zoning designation on the perimeter of the property is inconsistent with the "Horse Racing" and Commercial designations. The Development Services staff provided the following options for Councils consideration relative to the future land use of the race track site: 1. Rezone the R-l areas to S-l (horse racing); making the zoning for the entire site 5-1 and initiate a text amendment changing the 'Permitted Uses' allowed in the S-l zone by eliminating uses permitted in the R-O and R-l zones and gasoline service stations. The S-l zoning would be consistent with the goals set forth in the General. Plan. 2. Rezone the R-l areas along the northerly and westerly property lines to R-O 22,000 consistent with the adjoining residential properties. This is inconsistent with the goals and policies set forth in the General Plan and any future development consistent with the zoning would require a General Plan amendment. , . In the ensuing discussion staff responded to Council's questions that the S-l zoning regulations permit only the uses that are mentioned in November 17, 1998 staff report. I,.'. , It was then MOVED by Council member Harbicht, seconded by Mayor Kovacic and CARRIED on a roll call vote to.ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 6086, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, REAFFIRMING THE CITY'S SUPPORT FOR LIVE HORSE RACING AT SANTA ANITA PARK AND ENCOURAGE ANY NEW OWNERS OF SANTA ANITA RACETRACK TO CONTINUE TO CONDUCT LIVE HORSE RACING AT SANTA ANITA PARK AS ONE OF THE NATIONS' PRE-EMINENT HORSE RACING FACILITIES', and; DIRECT staff to prepare a text amendment that reflects Recommendation NO.1. Rezone the R-l areas to 5-1 (horse racing); making the zoning for the entire site S-l and initiate a text amendment changing the 'Permitted Uses" allowed in the 5-1 zone by eliminating uses permitted in the R-O and R-l zones and gasoline service stations. The $-1 zoning would be consistent with the goals set forth in the General Plan. .... '::. -,,' In further discussion Councilmember Roncelli commented that he was opposed to changing the zoning on the race track property at this time since a new owner of Santa Anita may want something else. '.,: :.,- ,.:.:.- The Mayor noted the motion would just eliminate residential development as a permitted use on $-1 zoned property. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ':-. ..' Councilmembers Chandler. Harbicht, Marshall and Kovacic Councilmember Roncelli (the timing is wrong for a change in zoning) None Mayor Kovacic referenced a portion of the November 17. 1998 staff report which provided the City Council with information related to the requirements for designating a property or facility as an historical site. The information included the brochure "Historical I" .' " 8 11/17/98 '1 I I 40:0291 Resource Registration Programs in California". and listed four different registration programs offered by the Office of Historic Preservation. This provided relative to the possibility of designating the Santa Anita Race Track as such a site. Mayor Kovacic stated. in part, that he would not mind if City staff broached the subject with the new owner of the race track to see if there is any interest in any such designation, and if so, the City could participate in trying to obtain the designation. The Mayor noted, in reading the material, it appears that "owner consent" plays a major role in any type of a designation. In reference to other situations regarding historical preservation designations, Mayor Kovacic expressed concern regarding demolition permits. It was Council consensus to direct staff to analyze an ordinance to provide for a reasonable cooling off period before a demolition permit is issued for presentation to the Council at a later date. 14c. ARCADIA Ruth and Charles Gilb, long-time Arcadia residents and community leaders, have HISTORICAL announced their plans to donate $300,000 to the City of Arcadia and the Arcadia MUSEUM Historical Society to build a new Historical Museum at the Arcadia Community Center. DONATION The actual donation will come from the Ruth V. and Charles E. Gilb Foundation. (Ruth & Charles Gilb) The current museum is located at the Arcadia Community Center, 375 Campus Drive. It #\3 is housed in two (2) doublewide modular units totaling' 1,800 square feet. Previously, V' 5'"""0-60 they, were utilized as temporary offices for the American Savings Bank. When this ()/..') 0 ~ institution moved into its permanent facility on south First Avenue, the bank donated the ,~. - /:. modular units to the City and the Arcadia Historical Society for use as a Historical Museum. While site planning and space requirements will determine actual costs for a new museum building, it is anticipated that the Gilb donation will finance the majority of costs for this new facility. The balance of monies needed for this project will come from funds previously earmarked for this purpose by the Arcadia Historical Society, and if needed, other outside donations. ,While a needs assessment will determine the actual size of a new museum, the new facility will be approximately 3,000 square feet in size, which would be about 67% larger than the current building. Preliminary, a suitable location for the museum building may be east of the shuffleboard courts along Huntington Drive. . There is a separate parking area that is underutilized adjacent to this location and it appears to be large enough to accommodate the required space. City staff is of the opinion that it would be advisable to use the same architect who designed the Community Center and Recreation Department offices. Their familiarity with the site and architectural style of the buildings would be an asset and could help expedite the project. Council member Harbicht presented and read a letter from Ruth and Charles Gilb to the Mayor and Members of the City Council, which stated: "The Ruth V. and Charles E. Gilb Family Foundation is pleased to offer to the City of Arcadia and the Arcadia Historical Society, a donation in the amount of $300,000.00 to be used for the construction of a new Arcadia Historical Museum on the property adjacent to the Recreation Department offices and Community Center. We feel an improved and expanded Historical Museum will be a great benefilto the Arcadia Community and we are delighted that we are able to make this project happen. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions concerning this matter. Ruth V. Gilb and Charles E. Gilb." Mayor Kovacic accepted Mr. and Mrs. Gilb's letter on behalf of the City Council and presented the letter to Ms. Carol Libby, Curator, Arcadia Historical Museum. Mrs. Libby expressed appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Gilb for their generous donation and stated, that 9 11/17/98 15. 40:0292 Arcadians are very fortunate to have a couple with this type of generosity that will be utilized by the community for years to come. It was MOVED by Councilmember Harbicht. seconded by Councilmember Roncelli and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to ACCEPT the $300,000. charitable donation from the Ruth V. and Charles E. Gilb Foundation via The Arcadia Historical Society for a new Historical Museum, and; DESIGNATE the new Museum to be named after the Gilb Family. and; DIRECT staff to proceed with the architectural/construction process for a new Historical Museum at the Community Center.
