GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT:
City of Arcadia
REQUEST:
.
PROPOSAL:
".
Existing:
.
Proposal to amend the following:
I. Section 9255.1. of the Arcadia Municipal Code
to require a Conditional Use Permit for all
development within a R-3 zone, including the
conversion of existing multiple dwellings into
co-operative multiple dwellings,
2. TITLE I. (Prerequisites and Classification) of
Division 5 (Conditional Uses) of said Municipal
Code to include a classification for multiple
family dwellings.
This text amendment was initiated by the Planning
Department in order to insure that a Conditional Use
Permit procedure for R-3 development be adopted prior
to the expiration of the existing moratorium. In
the event the proposed R-3 code revisions as submitted
by Text Amendment 80-7 does not become effective prior
to said expiration on May 15, 1980, the adoption of a
Conditional Use Permit procedure would aid the Plann-
ing Commission in the review of proposals as the exist-
ing moratorium implements until such time the R-3
revisions are adopted,
This amendment is for the consideration of the follow-
ing:
9255.1. GENERAL.
"9255.1. GENERAL, No building or land shall be used
and no building shall be hereafter erected, constructed,
or established except for the uses specified in the
following sub-sect ions, "

'.
Proposed:
9255.1. GENERAL. No building or land shall be
used and no building shall be hereafter erected,
constructed, established or the conversion of,
existing multiple dwellings into cooperative multiple
dwellings except for the uses specified in the follow-
ing subsections with an approved Conditional Use Per-
mit pursuant to and in accordance with Title I (Pre-
requisites and Classification) and Title 2 (Procedures)
of Division 5, Part 7, Chapter 2, Article IX of the
Arcadia Municipal Code.
ANALYSIS: It is staff's opinion that a Conditional Use Permit
process would necessitate a total design perspective
of a proposal before the Planning Commission and in
doing so would aid in implementing Code compliance,
TITLE I. PREREQUISITES AND CLASSIFICATION
Proposal: To add to the existing Code the following section:
"9275.1.52.1.1. MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLINGf-. R-3"
AnalysiS:
The proposed addition of the aforementioned section
to the existing Code would classify multiple' family
dwellings to be allowed in a R-3 zone upon the grant-
ing of a Conditional Use Permit.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT
It has become apparent that special consideration must be taken in
order to avoid the unique problems that may beset multiple family
projects. It is staff's opinion that the proposed text amendment
would insure a more percise design procedure which would aid in
mitigating any foreseeable problems.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act, tbe Planning. Department has prepared an initial study for the
proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substan-
tial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical
conditions within the area affected by the project including land,
air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of
historical or aesthetic significance, Therefore, a Negative Declara-
tion has been prepared for this project.
Before the Planning Commission and City Council take action on this
project, the Commission and Council should "move to approve and file
the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a
significant effect on the environment."
