PtANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 12, 1958
The Planning Collll8ission of the City of Arcadia met in
rElgu1ar session in the COlDlcll Chamber of the City Hall
at 8:00 o;clock P.M., August 12, 1958
PRESENT: Collllllf.ssioners Acker, Forman, Michler, Robertson'
and Vachon
A8SENT:
Collll8issioners Davison and Stout
O'tIIBRS PRESENT: ColDlcllman Reibold, Carozza, Cook, Nicklin,
Gardner and Mrs. Andrews.
Mtnutes of the meeting held July 8,1958 and July 22,
1958 were approved as written and mailed.
Pursuant to notice given, a public hearing was held on
the application of Robert F. Williams and Louise W. ,
Wordes, of 3953 E. Live Oak Avenue, Arcadia, for a zone
change classification from Zone R-3 to Zone C-2 and Zone
D on property located on Live Oak Avenue, described as
Lots 32, 33, 53 and 54, Tract No. 13217.
Ptoponents were asked to be heard. Robert S. Williams
ot 2233 South 5th Avenue, Arcadia, representing himself
and Mrs. Wordell, who was ill and could not attend. It
was his understanding that the zoning was to be considered
on a block to block basis and this was in line. It was
also considered in the street plan that had been submitted
by Everett Mansur, several years ago. The property has
bElen IDldeveloped for 13 years. Under the present zoning
it seems unadaptable for R-3uses. The' property has been
otfered for sale at a reasonable price but has not been
considered becauoe of the zoning. People have objected
to noise, dust, etc. and the uncertainty of the future
dQvelopment.
Mr. John L. Blake, 417-419 E. Live Oak, was in favor of
the zone change from R-3 to C-2, and D as requested.
Opponents were ssked to be heard. No one appeared to
concest the ma~tcr, but the Secretary read communications
from Nathan McCray, 2529 South 3rd Avenue, and M. Dorothy
Boor, 2535 South Third Avenue, protesting the zone change.
The Staff Report was read, showing that this area was
originally subdivided as residential property with lots
facing 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue. There are various
deed restrictions which are matters for the applicants
to consider. The Commission bas also indicated that any
rezoning to commercial will be considered on a block by
block basis. This application covers an entire block.
If tbis property is zoned for commercial uses, the follow-
ing items sbould be considered:
1. Dedicate 12 feet 'tor tbe widening of Third Avenue
on tbe east side, and the west side of Fourth Ave-
nue, and construct street improvements for the
widened section.
2. Dedicate and improve an alley between Third
Avenue and Fourth Avenue, at a location consis-
tent with the parking plans previously tenta-
tively approved.

3. If a Zone D overlay is proposed. the following
items in addition to those Bet out in the Zoning
Ordinance should be considered~
(a) Commercial buildings to face Live Oak Avenue.
(b) Businesses to be conducted within a building.
(c) Public entrances to buildings from side streets
to be limited.
(d) Vehicular access by a dedicated alley only.
(e) Exclusion of billboards.
(f) Parking lot layout in compliance with an approved
plan. including walls. landscaping and an adequate
watering system.
(g) Floodlighting directed away from other property.
(h) Limit building height to one story.
Mr. H. A. Mask. 2500 S. 4th Avenue, stated that he was
a little closer to the property in queation. He WDuld
like to suggest that people who bad moved into the
area moved in with the idea that this property would be
R-l and later it was zoned R-3. The property has laid
idle. The property on tbe other side of Live Oak is in
tbe same situation. It bas 1>2en mentioned that the
property on the south side is C-2 in County territory,
but be understood tbat just recently the Marshburn
property between Farn Avenue and 6th Avenue. witbin
the .last two weeks has been cleared of ail buildings
andplantings, and it has been rumored tbat a large
apartment house was going in. If County territory :I.s
more desirable for apartments than the City of Arcadia.
then someo~e is missing the boat. The bus route on
Live Oak makes it ve:y'desirable for sn apartment house.
He suggested that the Planning Commission defer a deci-
sion until confirmation could be made as to whetber or
not this property is to be used forR-3 purposes.
The public hearing on the application of Robert F.
Williams and Louise Wordes beld over until the next
regular Zoning Committee Meeting for a report, and a
decision of the Commission.
Pursuant to notice given, a public bearing was held on
the proposal to establish Zone D on property on the
south side of Las Tunas Drive.. east of Baldwin Avenue
as contemplated by Resolution No. 302. This application
pertains to tbe Stogsdill C-2 and the proposed D over-
lay at Las Tunas Drive and Baldwin Avenue. The Staff
Report was read showing that the City Council has indic-
ated its intention to grant a change of zone to Zone C-2
on certain real property on Las Tunas Drive
Following is a list of items to be considered and comments
on present requirements:
1. The beight, bulk and area of buildings. Zone C-2
allows 4 stories or 45 feet in hsight. Area is
regulated only by lot size and parking requirements.
2. The setback distances from property lines. There
are no existing setback requirements. The existing
restaurant building is at the front property line.
Across the street the existing commercial building
is set back 10 feet.

The Chairman. called. for proponents or opponents to this
Zone D being established, and contemplated by Resolution

man declared the hearing on proposal to establish ZOne
D on property on Las Tunas Drive, east of Baldwin Avenue

10.
Pursuant to notice given, a puhl:l.c hearing was held on the
application of W. H, and F. G. Seimer for a variance to allow
one additional dwelling on property located at 1208 South
Sixth Avenue. The proposed plan 1a to put the house with
the attached garage in front of the lot which 1s now vacant.
The building site is the required 7500 square feet and the
proposed house ia over the 1000 square. foot requirement.
The setback would be in line with other properties. The
spacing of the new house would be in line with the require-
ments. At the time the Seimer's purchased the property the
zone was R-l and a second dwelling could be built.
The plans provide for 1097 square feet floor area; on August
21, 1957, the applicant applied for approval on the location
to two additional houses, side by side on the front. This
application, although protested by neighbors, was approved
by the MOdification Committee on September II, 1957. This

decision was appealed to the Comm:l.ssion and was approved by
it on OCtober 22, 1957. The Commission's decision was
appealed to the City Council and after a publiC hearing on
November 19, 1957, the application was denied. However, on
December 3, 1957, the decision was modified and permission
given for one additional house on the front building line.
The building was not constructed and the approval expired
on June 3, 1958, at the end of the six month period. The
east side of 6th Avenue, between the City boundary and P811181a
Road have 31 lots of which 7 or 22.50'Z. have two or more dwell-
ings. On the west side of the street from the boundary of
the City to Camino Real there are 31 lots of which 13 or
41.90% have two or more dwellings. t~ithin 300 feet of said
property on both sides of 6th Avenue there are 18 lots of
Which 8 or 44.44% bave two or more dwellings. Tbe proponents
were requested to speak. Mr. W. B. Selmer, stated tbat he did
not live at 1208 Soutb 6tb Avenue, but at 498 Mesa Circle,
Monrovia. He stated that he could not see any reason why
tbe lot could not be developed. The matter bad been pending
one way or another for over a year. He did not know tbat tbe
tlme bad elapsed as be bsd not applied under a variance.
Opponents were requested to speak. No one appeared against
tbe variance. There was one cOlIBDUnication from Mary S. and
Jack H. S mson, Jr. opposing the application, and a communi-
cation from 19 people in tbe area, opposing tbe granting of
a variance until sucb tlme as the cbickens and all non-con-
forming buildings are removed from tbe property.
!olr. Acker stated that the application was made for two houses
on a lot prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. .990, and
they had met all of tbe requirements and all of the COdES that
were in existance at tbe time. Mr. Acker tben r.e1terated tbe
history of the application and recommended that consideration
be given to this request due to the many misunderstand1nss
that have been made.
!olr. Nicklin also summed up tbe case history of tbe Seimer
application and added that all procedures under tbe Zoning
Ordinance would lapse if not used within six months after
tbe granting of those respective types of requests. Through
either misinformation, lack of information or some cause, no
action was taken after the Council I s action and six months
went by. In order to clarify the situation, the Selmer's
were advised to apply for a variance under Ordinance No.
990, and that. 1s before the Commission at the present time.
:tt 1s largely a technicality that tbis is presented again.
The Chairman declared the publiC hearing closed.
Moved by Mr. Robertson, that the application of W. H. Selmer
to allow the erection of an additional dwelling .at 1208 South
6th Avenue,be recommended for approval. Said motion was
seconded by Mr. Acker.

Pursuant to notice given, a public hearing was held on the
application of Foothill Jewish Community Center for a variance
to allow a temple, religious school, parking and R-3 uses at
the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard and Second Avenue.
The application was read and maps presented sbowing the area
under consideration.

The Staff Report was read showing that this property is
presently zoned C-2, Pr 1 and R-l. It is requested to use
the property for church and religious school, parking,
multiple residence and single residence purposes. Sycamore
Avenue, at this location is 50 feet wide. All new sub-
divisions have been required to dedicate their share of
additional land to make the street 60 feet wide. This
property should dedicate the north 5 feet for street pur-
poses. Also a 20 foot radius should be dedicated at the
corner of Foothill Boulevard and Second Avenue. Concrete
curb and gutter should be constructed along the entire
frontage of the property along Second Avenue and Sycamore
Avenue. It has been the practice of the city to install the
pavement where the curb is installed by the property own~r;
(The Zoning OLdinance requires that the parking lot be paveJ,
and a masonry wall separating it from residential property.
Consideration should be given to the requirement of an alley
through this property to serve it and commercial property
to the west. The alley should be at a location that will
conveniently serve the commercial property. If a portion of
the property is to be used for multiple residence purposes,
it might be well for consideration of the feas1bil1ty of
1 Uniting the structures to one story as was done on Baldwin
Avenue, north of Huntington &rive. The front 135 feet of this
property facing Foothill Boulevard is now in Zone C-2 and No.
1 'Fire Zone, if it is to be used for temple and religious
school purposes, with the usual yard separation from other
property, the matter of exempting the building from the con-
struction requirements of No. 1 Fire Zone should be considered,
thus allowing more flexibility in designing an attractive
building. If this is done the building code would still reqnire
construction normal to other buildings outside the fire
district.
A petition was filed signed by forty property owners protest-
ing the approval of the variance.
The Chairman announced that this was the time and place for
hearing the application for a variance to a temple and
religious school, parking and R-3.
Proponents were asked to be heard.
Mr. Charles Lapson, 625 W. Foothill Blvd. stated that the
report was satisfactory to them. When the land was acquired
from the Oberly Estate, it was necessary to purchase the
complete parcel. It was found that all of the land was not
necessary. That putting the R-3 in between the parking area
and the residential area on Sycamore, it would act as a buffer.
The type of building to be erected to beautify the area
would be of benefit to the entire community. He stated that
there would be an auditorium that could have a seating capa-
city of approximately 200; a social hall for entertainment
but not for rental purposes.
The opponents were asked to be heard.
Mr. Herbert Blanchard, 136 E. Sycamore, objected to the Boning
of the R-3. He felt the area was R~l and should remain that
way. He did not oppose the rerction of the Church or the
parking.
Mr. R. A. Surlock, of 1201 Oak Glen Avenue, stated that his
house was one block west of the area, and it was in a secluded
res1dential area, and he delsred it to be kept that way.
Mr_ Allen Hubbard, 1261 Oak Haven Lane, advised that he dfd
not object to the church, but objected to the granting of an
R-3 area.

Mr. Lewis Dar1s, of 1240 Oak Haven Lane stated that he
objected to the R-3 and the parking area. If .the 1-3
were elim1nated, additional parking could be constructed,
with sufficient depth .to the R-l lots and planting that wo.uld
help.
Mr. G. H. McFarland, 1260 Oak Haven Lene objected to the
R-3 area..
Mr. Lapson stated that he wanted a friendly neighborhood
and that he had suggested the R-3 as a buffer area, but
that if the lots were made deeper on the R-l portion,
and the parking area increased, there would be planting
to make it beautiful insofar as the residents were concerned.

Dr. Kent Nebeker, 150 E. Sycamore, stated that the lots
on Sycamore were 375 feet deep and that the a-3 and
parking would come almost by the house next to it, as
the set back is so deep. He felt that a change should
be made. He was not opposed to the church, but felt that
the residents in the area should be considered and
better planning made.
The Chairman del cared the hearing closed, Mr. Michler
stated that it might be well to refer the matter to the
Subdivision Committee and the 'Zoning Committee for a
report.
The matter was thereupon held over for a joint Zoning
Committee and Subdivision Committee and Staff Report to
be given at the next regular meeting,of the Planning
Commission.
No. 212 - Alma C. Goodrich, 2501 S. Second Avenue,
referred to Mr. Stout and Mr. Acker. The request is to
divide the lot which is 75 feet by 281.84 feet, witb a
result of 150 feet on the west and 131.84 feet on the
east.
The newly created lot would conform in depth and area, and
the reques t is recolIDDended for approval.
Motion by Mr. Aclcer, second by Mr. Forman, artd carried
that Lot Split No. 212, Alma C. Goodrich, 2501 S. Second
Avenue be recommended for approval, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Dedicate necessary easements for utilities at

No. 213 - Donald A. Strawn, 1133 S. First Avenue, referr-
ed to Mr. Stout and Mr. Acker. This is a lot 381.94 feet
deep. The request is to divide it into two parcels.
Parcel 2 would face .on Louise Avenue and would conform
to a reasonable subdivision plan.
Motion by Mr. Acker, second by Michler, and carried that

following conditions:
1. Remove building on Parcell to within 20
feet of rear line of Parcel 2.
2. File a final 1II8p with the City Engineer.
3. Pay $25.00 recreation fee.
No. 214 - John Richards, 1020 Burnell Oaks Lane referr-
ed to Mr. Davison and Mr. For1ll8n, The lot split is
occasioned by the fact that the drip line of roof at
1020 Burnell Oaks is now on adjoining property. The
split will provide legal yard and move ownership line to
present fence line location. Mr. Robertson stated that
there hsd been several of these lot splits wherein
through an error in the location of the building on the
lot, a lot split had become necessary so that the building
would conform to yard requirements. He woul:d recommend
that some steps be .takenwherein such an error could
be corrected without coming before the Planning Commi-
s.sion.
It was determined that such a lot split could be considered
as a modification, and the necessary steps should be taken
to handle this through the MOdiflQation Committee.
Motion by Forman, Second by Acker, that Lot Split'No.

As a stipulation to the approval of the tentative map
an attached garage at 64 W. Camino Real was to be re-
moved. A letter on file from Mads Jorgensen, 64 W.
Catuino Real requests that the garage be retained as a
condition of the final map. The retnetion of the
attached garage would place the dwelling within 2.5
feet of the newly created rear lot line.
Motion by Mr. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Acker, and
carried I that final map of Tract No. 21341 be recomDiended
for approval subject to the 'following conditions:

stated that the reason was 1n the odg1nal appl:lcat1on each
appUcant asked for an extended pedod of time :In which to
comply with the vadance, one for ten years, and the other
no specified time; there were no plot plans submitted. The
Council felt that each of, the parties hac! indicated their
willingness before the City Council to accept the normal
vadance with the elx months pedod in which to comply with
the terma thereof, that the record before the Plann1ng
Commission should show the same items, such as plot plan. and
elevations, and the desire to comply to the terma~ The
Planning Commission should have an opportunity .to review the
matter to see if it would have an effect on the:lr prior recom-
mendation which was a den:lal of the requested var:lance~ If
the dec1sion ware to reaffirm tbe pdor action, which
was a denial of the two cases, then a statement tb that
effect 1n the minutes would refer it back to the Council
without further action. If it would vary the decision, tben
it could be handled one of two ways; either by report1ng
to tbe Council that these are material ltems which were
lack1ng atthe time of the decision, and based on those the
decision might be different; technically, to be correct, if
the decision 18 ult:l.mately to permit the building of the
dwelling, it would be to amend the Resolution, and re-notice
the hearing. If the indication is that these matters were
not deemed matedal at the time, and would not I:!e so con-
sldered now, then there would be no point in sett1ng up a
new bearing.
Moved by Mr. Michler, seconded by Mr. Forman, and carded
