BUTLER, ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION SOUTHEAST OF THE CITY BOUNDARY The City has received a letter and petition from Annette E. Phillips who resides at 827 East Longden Avenue requesting that the City of Arcadia consider annexation of the area set forth in the attached map (area bordered by Boley Street on the north, Longden Avenue on the south, the properties along the east side of Doolittle Avenue on the east and the City boundary on the west). There are 75 homes within this area and Ms. Phillips has secured the signatures of owners of 37 residences. If the City Council is interested in pursuing annexation of this area, the Council should direct staff to prepare a report which will include the following: 1. Changes in services which would occur with annexation. 2. Impact of annexation on the City and the owners within the area. 3. Alternative procedures by which this property can be annexed (i.e., initiated by property owners or City). Attached for your information is the letter and petition from Mrs. Phillips including a map showing the subject area. APPROVED: • //.. �� /s r William D. Woolard Acting City Manager LASER IMAGED 52 CITY OF ARCADIA JUL Z 1'9L CITY COUNCIL wry OF:■RC•," Enclosed is an informal petition signed by a majority of homeowners from a small portion of the unincorporated area of Arcadia requesting Annexation to the City of Arcadia. A map is attached indicating the borders involved. The area is compatible with your surrounding areas and would be an important step that has been long overdue. The homeowners respectfully request that this be taken under consideration by the City Council and-the Planning Commission. If approved, we would gain police and fire protection and your public services. The City would gain new citizens willing to become involved in (and vote for and vote on) City issues. Revenues allocated to the County would be a new revenue source for the City. I have obtained 39 signatures representing at least 50% of the homeowners. Please acknowledge receipt of this Petition and advise if this is in acceptable form. Sincerely, Af74'NZ2 —.25'/ 6/.* /S, /9;72__ Annette E.

BUTLER, ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: BUILDING CODE VARIANCE - MM 92-002 25 SOUTH FIRST AVENUE SUMMARY - The Planning Department has received a request from Dennis Manning for a building code variance to keep the security grates and security bars which were unlawfully installed at 25 South First Avenue (Santa Anita Loan and Jewelry, aka Pawn Shop). The Planning Department is recommending denial of this request. GENERAL INFORMATION In early June, staff noticed that security bars had been unlawfully installed installed on the exterior of the building at 25 South First Avenue. On June 22, the Planning Department sent a letter to Dennis Manning, owner of Santa Anita Loan and Jewelry and David C. Cross, owner of the property advising them that the security bars and grates which had been installed on the exterior of the building were illegal. The letter noted that the security grates and bars must either be removed or they could apply to the City Council for a variance from the building code. On July 13, 1992, Mr. Manning submitted the attached request for a building code variance to keep the security grates and bars noting in his letter that: "The reason for the request is that I feel the City has allowed a pawn shop and clearly doesn't understand the need for good safe security." BACKGROUND INFORMATION On June 21, 1988, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1885 prohibiting installation of security bars, metal grates and similar security devices on the exterior of commercial and industrial buildings. The Council noted in the ordinance that the City is: MM 92-002 August 4, 1?92 Page 1 LASER IMAGED "concerned about the trend to use unsightly, and at times hazardous bars and other similar security devices on commercial and industrial building throughout the City and.... the negative aesthetic affect and the detrimental impact of such devices on the community, and the hazard that the unregulated use of such devices may pose." The ordinance further noted that: "the Downtown Revitalization Strategy of the City of Arcadia recom ends nonexterior use of security devices in order to promote and preserve the appearance and economic vitality of the City of Arcadia...." REQUEST The applicant is requesting a building code variance of Sections 8130.21.5 an. 8130.2.5 of the Arcadia Municipal Code. Section 8130.21.5 of the Arcadia Municipal Code prohibits the installation o' security bars, panels, sliding metal grates, or other similar security devices on the ex erior of any commercial or industrial building. Section 8130.2.5. notes that it shall be unlawful to install security bars, grates, etc. without first obtaining a permit. As noted above, the business owner Mr. Manning, unlawfully installed security grates on the front exterior of the building and security bars on the outside q f the windows at the back of the building at 25 South First Avenue. Section 8130.21.5 permits the installation of security devices on the interior pf a commercial or industrial building provided that the entire building is equipped with an automatic sprinkler system. ANALYSIS The subject property is located within the Redevelopment Area. The Agency staff reviewed the requested building code variance (see attached memo) and commented that the "Exterior security bars are an inappropriate improvement within the Redevelopment Project Area and contrary to the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan." Further, "Agency staff will only support installation of such bars on the inside of the building in a manner which is unobtrusive from the street while in use and screened from view when stored during store business hours." MM 92-002 August 4, 1992 Pa 2 The Planning Department concurs with Redevelopment staff's findings tha; installation of security grates and bars on the exterior of a building is an "inappropriate improvement". In addition staff feels that exterior security evices do have a negative aesthetic affect on the community. It is the Planning Department's opinion that Mr. Manning has not shown cruse as to why a Building Code variance should be granted and that the reason cited "for good safe security" can be accomplished by other means, i.e., security bars intalled on the inside of the building. Wayne Crabb of the Fire Department has indicated that the Fire Departmen has no objections to the security bars on the rear windows if the security grates in tle front of the building are removed and as long panic hardware is installed per theik requirements. - Pete Kinnahan, Assistant City Manager of Economic Development, commented that the security bars on the outside of the windows at the rear of the building is not acceptable to Redevelopment staff. The building is highly visible from the parking area which services the buildings between the alley and Alta Street. ACTION The City Council should open the public hearing and receive all testimony regarding the requested building code variance. Based upon the testimony received and the evidence presented at tonight's meeting, the Council may: 1. Deny the building code variance and require removal of the security grates in the front of the building and the security bars in the back of the building within 15 days from the date of the Council's action or whatever date the City Council deems reasonable; or 2. Deny the building code variance for the security grates in the front of the building and approve the security bars on the windows at the rear of the building, subject to Fire Department requirements and securing a bui ding permit. The security grates at the front of the building shall be removed within 15 days from the date of the Council's action or whatever date the City Council deems reasonable; or 3. Approve the variance as requested, subject to fire sprinklers being ins tailed in the building. Said sprinklers shall be installed within a time frame specified by the Fire Department. If sprinklers are not installed within said time frame to the satisfaction of the Fire Department, the matter shall be referred to the City Attorney for immediate legal action.

First Avenue. Staff is opposed to the request for the following reasons: 1. Both the City of Arcadia and the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency have a special interest in the ongoing evolvement of Downtown Arcadia as evidenced by the establishment of the Downtown Central Redevelopment Project Area. Section I.424 of the Redevelopment Plan establishes the Design Review process as an integral part of the overall redevelopmen effort. Further, it states that: "One of the objectives of this Plan is to create an attractive and pleasant environment in the Project Area. Therefore, such [improvement] plans shall give consideration to. . . amenities to enhance the aesthetic quality of the Project Area.
