CITY OF ARCADIA
PLANNING 'DEPARTMENT
TEXT AMENDMENT 82-7
TO:
CASE NO.:
PREPARED BY:
WILLIAM WOOLARD
DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: City of Arcadia
REQUEST: Text Amendment to amend the Arcadia Municipal Code
to provide for regulations governing identification
and temporary signs in the City's residential zones.
BACKGROUND
.
The City Council, at its meeting of October 5, 1982, directed
staff to prepare a text amendment for the Council's consideration
which would allow for additional arrow-type real estate signs
and for larger subdivision-type signs for new multiple-family
residential projects.
A request for the changes was made to the City Council by the
Arcadia Board of Realtors (letter attached).
ANALYSIS
.
The existing R-M, R-O, and R-l zoning sign regulations are essen-
tially the same, and "where property is located on a cul-de-sac,
one (l) directional arrow-type sign not to exceed one toot by
two feet (l'x2 ') may be placed on private property located at
the next through'street intersection pointing toward the "Open
House" during daylight hours. This sign shall only be permitted
if: (l) the owner of said property consents to such use of his
property, and (2) the house offered for sale is open and attended
by the owner or an authorized representative of the owner during
any time the,sign is in place." (emphasis added)
The proposed amendment would permit ~n arrow-type sign to be
used as well for properties which are not located on a cul-de-sac.
(i.e., a house for sale on Longden Avenue may have an arrow-type
open house sign located on private property at the intersection
of Longden Avenue and Santa Anita Avenue.)
.
.
.

T.A. 82-7
November 9, 1982
Page 2
The arrow-type sign would not be permitted in either City parkway
areas or street medians.
Only one such arrow-type sign would be permitted on the private
property pointing to the property offered for sale,
Each open house would only be permitted to have one (ll such arrow-
type sign located on property other than the property offered for
sale.
Flags, pennants, etc. still remain prohibited.
The existing R-M, R-O and R-l zoning sign regulations allow for
"two temporary signs each not to exceed thirty-two (32) square
feet in area per face, advertising the property for sale, erected
and maintained in a new subdivision during the period an active
sales campaign is being conducted for such subdivision but in no
event for a period longer than six (6) months."
The proposed amendment would permit a larger sign in the R-2 and
R-3 zones for new multiple-family residential projects during the
active sales, lease or rental campaign but no longer than six (6)
months.
The proposed amendment allows the standard real estate signs and
arrow-type signs to be used during subsequent sales, etc.
The proposed amendment would permit a sign of sixteen (l6) square
feet for new multiple-family projects containing more than one (l)
dwelling unit but less than five (5) dwelling units, and a thirty-
two (32) square feet sign for projects containing five (5) or more
dwelling units.
The language has been clarified and made consistent from one zone
to another in an attempt to simplify the interpretation and en-
forcement of the:regulations.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for
the proposed text amendment. Said initial study did not disclose
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 significance. Therefore,
a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project.
To approve this text amendment the City Council should "move to
approve and file the Negative Declaration 'and find that the
project will not have a significant effect on the environment and
direct the City Attorney to prepare the ordinance for adoption".

RE: REAL ESTATE "FOR SALE" SrC:;NS
Dear George:
The Directors of the Arcadia Board of REALTORS do request
the city council consider some changes in the Arcadia City
Municiple Code.
The first request would pertain to that section of the Code
which restricts agents or the owner of a property that is
for sale, to only one "open house" directional arrow pointing
to the premises. We request a change that would allow two
"open ,house" signs, one as the code presently allows on the
premises and one located at the next through street inter-
section pointing toward the "open house" as is presently
allowed when a house is located ona cul-de-sac. (A.M.C. 925l.
1. 9 .1)
The second request pertains to the code section that restricts
a builder of new condominiums in an R-2 and R-3 zone to a
sign less that is allowed in a R-l subdivision.
We have made a' great effort to comply with these code require-
ments, but find them too restrictive. We request that you
notify us of any hearing so we can give testimony that might
assist you with your decision.
, ' ,
We thank you for y6ur consideration. If I can be of any
assistance, please call ,at 574-7201.
Sincerely,
~ .!L' '- \ \ '. J ..:'\ _ It
