WHEREAS, all interested persons were given full oppor- tunity to be heard and to present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA HEREBY DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1, The undeveloped mountainous area in Arcadia constitutes 308.58 acres and is contiguous to portions of the north and east boundaries of the City, The mountainous terrain found in the aforesaid area requires special controls not found in Zone R-1 to insure proper development of the mountainous portions of Arcadia. The Design Overlay established by Arcadia City Council Resolution 3224 previously granted a Design Overlay ("D") for a portion of the area defined in Section 1 of the aforesaid legal description. Aforesaid Arcadia City Council Resolution 4335 is by this reference . incorporated herein. This Design Overlay provides for a review process by the Highland Homeowners Association Architectural Review and Planning Committee which should be retained in the form of -1- 1009 . . Zone R-M & D, The more restrictive regulations shall apply should there be any conflict between the Design Overlay and Ordinance 1597 and any amendments to the sections specified thereunder. SECTION 2. That the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that the zoning of the property set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit "A" be changed from R-1 D 10,000 to R-M D, in Section 2 of Exhibit PAP from R-l to R-M, and in Section 3 of Exhibit "A" from R-1 to R-M. SECTION 3. The Planning Commission finds that the pro- posed change would provide uniform zoning within the area, would bring the zoning into conformance with the General Plan, provide adequate protection for hillside areas, and that the public con- venience, necessity and general welfare justify the above zone change, . SECTION 4. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and State Guidelines, an initial study has been prepared for the proposed project. We hereby find that the facts contained in the initial study are true and correct and that they do not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse effect on the environment. We hereby approve and file the Negative Declaration and find the project will not have a signifi- cant effect on the environment. Said documents are on file with the Arcadia City Planning Department, SECTION 5, The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia, -2- 1009 . . .

Exhibit "A" 1009 . . . August 23, 1977 TO: CITY OF ARCADIA PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT CASE NO. : ZONE CHfu~GE Z-77-6 PREPARED BY: JEFFREY F, WITTE ASSOCIATE PLANNER GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: City of Arcadia LOCATION: REQUEST: Undeveloped northeast portions of Arcadia Change in zoning from R-l and R-l 10,000 & D to R-M Residential Mountainous Single Family Zone SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: The property to the north and east is mountainous and undeveloped, The property to the south and west is developed with residential uses and portions of the undeveloped area is in the National Forest. The adjacent property in the City of Sierra Madre is R-l 15,000 and the property in Monrovia is zoned R-1 6,000, R-E 15,000 and Watershed Zone, AREA: 308,58 acres GENERAL PLfu~: Single Family Residential 0-4 dwelling units per acre ANALYSIS The proposed zone change is consistent with the previous Planning Commission and City Council actions designating the undeveloped portions of the Arcadia Hillside as Residential Single Family 0-4 dwelling units per acre, The proposed R-M zone would require . Z-77-6 2 a permit review process for all new residential developments and the accompanying access roads. Mr, W. T, Beckwith has requested that an eight-acre portion of the property be excluded from this zone change, The afore~ mentioned area was previously approved as Tentative Tract 27195 (see attached) by the Planning Commission and City Council in 1964, Tentative Tract 27195 provided for a 19-1ot subdivision with a connection between Oakglen Avenue and Oakhaven Road with two additional dead end streets which could have been used for the development of additional residential property, Although Tract 27195 was approved in its tentative stages by the Planning Commission and City Council, Tract 27195 was never recorded or completed and the approval by the City of Arcadia h~long since expired, . Staff feels that some additional residential development of the less severe slopes beyond the present terminus of Oakg1en Avenue and Oakhaven Road may be feasible, However, Mr, Beckwith's request to remove the old 19-10t subdivision from the area proposed to be zoned R-M Residential Mountainous Single Family would expose the area north of Foothill Junior High to potential development that would not be controlled under the stricter permit process found in the R-M zone requirements, The Planning Department believes that all undeveloped hillside property now in the Hillside Development Moratorium should be placed in the R-M Residential Mountainous Single Family Zone to insure proper development of the area. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not dis- close any substantial 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 signifi- cance. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project, Before the City Council takes action on this project, the Council should "move to approve and file the Negative Declara- tion and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment," RECOMMENDATION . The Planning Department recommends approval of Zone Change 2-77-6. JFW/at Attachments - ~ - I ~ Tl ~L. 1 -.

HUNTINGTON DR" ARCADIA, CALIF. 91006 July 2,;, 1977 HR. JEFFREY I. iHTTE, Assistant Planner Arcadia PlanninG Cor.lL,issior: 240 West HuntinBton Drive Arcadia, California 91Jv6 Dear Hr. ':Ii t te: In my letter of July 12L1 to t:,e Arcadia City Cour,cil I requested that the Planning COJmilission acd t:le City Council consider excluC:ing Tentative Tract No. 27105 from the proposed R-M Residential ~Duntaiuous SinBle Fardly Zone. . T~e Flannine Co~ission on April 27, 1965 unaninausly recommended for ap- ;Jroval the final IilB.p of Tract No. 271")5 subject to conditions outlined in ti,e Staff Report Hiti1 ti,e exception of Item 13. A c.opy of pages 6 and 7 of the Planning Comnliss~on minutes are enclosed for your information. In addition to all the enJineerins i"l.svinS been completed, togeL"ier T,.,itll t!le final drawings, some 00, UG~ cubic ~1ards of dirt ;.:ad been removed Eor Tract No. 27803. The :!illside i18d been cut and pern18r.ent sudte oenches installed. Hater ~lad 'oeen brouc;ht or. to t~1e property; Jr:.derground utili- ties brougi!t to t:.1e property, and 8 storm drain of sufficier.t size to carry the run-off waters had been extended to within 150 feet of the property, toget,'er wit:, an easer;rent to allow it to be brought to t;,e sub- division. All cuts were r~de after sample borings and geological tests were made. T:,e "illside was planted and "as withstood ttre last eleven years wit" a ninimum of erosion. There are a little less t:,an seven acres in ti,e pro- posed tract with approximately one acre of street area. This means the density is about three parcels per acre, and the average lot size is ap- proximately 13,90U feet. Oakhaven Avenue and Oakglen Avenue would be well under ten percent grade, and ~<oodland Avenue could be lleld to very close to ter, percent. . It is also requested tha t Chapter 70 of ti,e Uniform Buildins Code, 1976 Edition, regarding excavation and grading not apply to existing cuts or i . Mr. Jeffrey I. Witte, Assistant Planner - 2 - July 26, 1977 fills which have been done with the approval of the City and in conformity with geological reports submitted prior to that work being done. If this were not done, it would mean the cut which is now pretty well grown over would have to be recut, leaving another visible scar on the hillside which I think is unnecessary. I am enclosing in addition to the above minutes a complete set of working drawings for Tract No. 27195. Your favorable consideration would be appreciated. Yours very truly, 1]~~d/.r;Z{ ;;. T.
