THE CITY OF ft~CADIA. CALIFORNIA. DECLARING PUB-
LIC POLICY ~ITH REFERENCE TO THE CRD~~LY SUBDI-
VISION OF PROPERTY ~ITHIN THE CITY OF fu~CADIA
THE CITY PLANNING COLIlolISSION OF THE C ITY Ol~ A..'1C"DIA DOES
DETERMINE. RESOLVE AND DECLARE AS FOLLC;IS:
SECTION 1. That the rapid growth of the City of Arcadia
has practicallY exhausted the large unimproved areas of land
normally available for subdivision; that future subdivision within
.
the City must necessarily be comprised of existing lots too large
for retention as sin~le units but seldom large enough individually
to allow proper subdivision;- that the orderly planning and develop-
ment of such parcels require the cooperation of the respective
o~ners and the encouragement and assistance, so far as may be proper
and legal. of all governmental agencies having jurisd.ic ti:>n.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to the foregoing. it is hereby de-
clared to be the policy of the City Planning Commission of the City
of Arcadia to foster the orderly development and proper planninG of
areas to be subdivided. To this end this Conwission will encoura~e.
without partisanship. the collective subdivision of all adjacent
parcels properly includable under one plan or within one subdivision.
':::'0 this end this Commission will approve reasonable measures for the
.
reimbursement of a subdivider of the costs incurred by hun in sub-
dividin~ property, when such costs are incurred at least in part for
the ultimate benefit of properties not ~mbraced within such subdi-
vision; that tne proper development of many areas require the in-
stallation of i~provements out of proportion to the property
presently being s~)divided. ~~d that adequate provisi@n should be
made for the eventual spreading of such im~rovement costs over areas
actually benefited thereby when and if such other areas desire to
and are ready to avail themselves of such benefits.

will. as a matter of policy, recommBnd in connection with all
future subdivisions that properties not witrin such subdivisions,
but abutting improvements made therein at the c~st of the subdi-
vider and to be dedicated to the public, shall be precluded from
access to or use of such improvements by (1) the granting of inter-
veninG property in fee to the City of Arcadia. or (2) ~anting
intervenin3 property in trust to an impartial corporate title
holder upan such conditions as this Comnis~ion shall find and recom-
~end to be fair and equitable to such subdivider. to the ouners of
adjacent properties and to the inhabitants of the city Goner-ally, 01'
(3) by such other or furths!' means as may be lawful and proper.
In furtherance of this pulicy and for the purpos e of facilitatinf;

be available for inclusion therein, this Commission ~lill cause
timely notice of all determinations to be made within the SC098 of
