RESOLUTION NO. 1096
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ARCADIA MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND
APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR A 23 LOT
PROJECT IN THE R-M RESIDENTIAL MOUNTAINIOUS ZONE,
NORTH OF FOOTHILLS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, EXTENSION
. OF OAKHA VEN ROAD
"
WHEREAS. on January 23, 1979, an application was filed by
Charles P. Bluth, for a Development Permit for a residential project
in the R-M Residential Mountainous Zone, north of Foothills Junior
High School, extension of Oakhaven Road, more particularly described
in attached Exhibit "A";
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on said matter on February 13,
]979, and continued to February 27, 1979, at which times all interest-
ed persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evi-
dence;
.~ NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the fact'ual data submi tted by. the Planning Depart-
ment in the staff report and EIR is true and correct.
Section 2. This Commission finds that:
1. The granting of a Development Permit as hereinafter pro-
vided will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or in-
jurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity.
2. The use applied for at the location indicated is properly
une for which a Development Permit is authorized.
'3. The site abuts streets adequate in width and pavement
" '
type to carrythekind~f traffic generated by the proposed use.
4. 'The granting of such Development Permit will not ad-
versely affect the General Plan.
5. The environmental impact report identified potential in-
stability of the proposed 90 to 100 foot fill slopes in the possible

,~
event of earthquake shaking and potential differential settlement
a~ross the daylight line on Lots 12, 13, 14, 19 and possibly 20,
particularly in the event of a severe earthquake as significant
effects. Such significant effects mitigated by the condition of
approval requiring the evaluation of the dynamic stability and of
potential settlement at the daylight line completed by a soils en-
gineer prior to the development of the final grading plan.
6. The environmental impact report identified potential
problems associated with erosion and siltation during grading, and
to a lesser extent after grading is completed, before vegetation is
established on the slopes as significant effects. These effects will
be mitigated by the condition of approval limiting grading operations
to the dry season and in compliance with Section 8610 through 8658.l
of the Arcadia Municipal Code.
7. The environmental impact report identified the removal
of approximately 70% of the vegetation on site resulting in the limita-
tionof habitats available to rare and native plant species, and the
displacement of wildlife intolerant of human habitation and dependent
on native vegetation as significant effects. These effects will be
mitigated by the condition of approval requiring that the applicant
submit a detailed landscaping and irrigation plan to be reviewed by a
landscape architect.
8. The environmental impact report identified the additions
of emissions to an airshed that currently exceed air quality standards
for carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocarbons, and par-
ticulates, further degrading air quality. as a significant effect.
Specific economic, social, or other overriding considerations, how-
ever, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives
identified in the final EIR for this effect. Said considerations are
as follows:
a. There exists a demand, in the City. for new single
family housing.
b. Economically City needs greater tax base as a result
of Proposition 13.

.
.
.
c. The development of new homes will have to comply with
State Energy Conservation Regulations, and requirements beyond
those set forth by the State may not be economically viable.
d. Because of the limited number of homes in the project
the implementation of car pools and/or bussing is not feasible
or economically viable.
Section 3. That for the foregoing reasons, subject to the approval
of the City Council, this Commission grants a Development Permit for
a 23 lot project in the R-M Residential Mountainous Zone upon the
following conditions:
1. The property shall be improved and maintained in accor-
dance with plans on file in the subject Case No. R-M 79-1.

CASE NO.:
R-M PERMIT 79-1
The Planning Commission continued this item to tonight's meeting
to provide an opportunity for the developer to revise his plans
and submit additional information. The attached tentative tract
map has been revised to include 23 lots in lieu of 21 originally
proposed. Lot 22 is separated from Lot 20 by a 50 foot future
right-of-way designated as Lot 23. The developer proposes to
have Lot 23 held in trust for a future road way to prevent land
locking the property to north. Also the developer has indicated
the street grade on Oakhaven south of his project.

Residential/Flood Control property
The property immediately to the west of the proposed tract, now
developed with Oakglen Avenue, was approved as Tract No. 27803
by the City Council in December of 1964. A second tract (27195)
on the southwest portion of the property now under consideration
was approved for 19 lots by the City Council in 1965.
.

.
R-M 79-1

The original applicants for Tract 27195 received several time
extensions but were unable to construct the approved project, and
the tract eventually expired. The existing cut in the mountain,
drainage work and sprinkler system were constructed as a part of
the development of Tract 27803.
In 1976 a tentativ8 tract map for a 101-10t subdivision was
filed by Meeker Development for a 60+ acre site. This
proposal included Tentative Tract 27195 and substantial additional
portions of the property to the west and north. After a series
of public hearings, this tract was denied by a vote of 6 to 1 by
the Planning Commission, and later appealed to the City Council
where it was also denied. The Commission and Council considered
the proposal too intense a development for the area and instructed
staff to explore alternative development guidelines. The Planning
Commission appointed a special study committee which recommended
adoption of a new zone catagory for Arcadia. This new zone
classification (R-M) zone requires an applicant to obtain a special
permit from the City prior to development.
PROPOSAL
The applicant is proposing a 21-1ot hillside development north
of Foothill Junior Hiqh School. Twenty of the 21 lots are
proposed for development and the applicant plans to retain Lot 20
without developing it at this time. This project is consistent
with the established General Plan density of 0-4 dwelling units
per acre.
PROJECT ELEMENTS
Area:
30 acres
Number of units: 20 single-family homes
Population: The project is expected to house approximately 54
residents based on a population generation rate of 2.7 persons
per single family unit. This approximation is an area-wide
average and could increase by one person per unit to 64 persons
due to the larger than average dwelling unit size. Fifty-four to
64 persons in this area would generate population factors equal or
less in density to other similar foothill developments.
TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
The Environmental Impact Report prepared on this proposed development
estimated 196 daily vehicle trips from the proposed developemnt.
All traffic must exit the development on Oakhaven Road on which
FOothill Junior High School fronts. The plan proposed by the
applicant would seal off Oakglen Avenue and leave a cul-de-sac street
that exceeds 500 feet. Also, the proposed street pattern would
greatly handicap any further efforts to develop the eastern side of
the Flood Control property by sealing off a potential entrance to
that area with Lot 6 in the proposed tract.
.
R-M 79-1

SERVICES
The Environmental Impact Report prepared for this project concluded
that the impact on the Arcadia School District, Fire Department,
Police Department, general services, and the County Sanitation
District would be minimal. City water service for this property
would come from an extension of a 12" line (at the developer's
expense) north from Sycamore Avenue. Lots 20 and 21 would have
less normal water pressure, 33 p.s.i. static pressure in lieu
of 40 p.s.i. normally supplied by the City. The Water Division
is recommending the installation of a booster pump system to
provide normal water pressure for Lots 20 and 21.
VEGETATION
.
The Environmental Impact Report prepared by Envicom concluded that
no rare and/or endangered plants were present on the site. The
grading proposed by the applicant could have the effect of removing
up to 70% of the natural vegetation on the site which would include
several oak trees located at the southerly portion of the property
adjacent to the junior high school property. The biologist
employed by Envicom stated on Page 17 in the E.I.R. for this
project that the oak woodlands in the southwest portion of the
site are badly disturbed, with several oaks either dead or dying.
The existing area is largely covered with weeds and grasses
that have little environmental significance, but do contribute
to frequent fires in the area. As a portion of the implementation
process for an approved R-M permit, the applicant would be required
to relandscape the project with plant materIals that would not only
be aesthetically pleasing but would have good erosion control
qualities. A condition has been included in the conditions of
approval that would require a landscape plan prepared by a licensed
landscape architect and reviewed by a consulting landscape architect
retained by the City at the applicant's expense.
R-M CRITERIA vs. APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL
.
The proposal submitted by the applicant is consistent with the
design of lots specified in the R-M requirements. Each lot in the
proposed tract meets or exceeds the minimum 15,000 square foot lot
area. Streets proposed for the new development consist of a short
extension of Oakhaven Road and a new street ("A" Street) that would
run east from Oakhaven Road climbing the face of the mountain and
terminating in a cul-de-sac. The proposed streets appear to be
consistent with right-of-way and curb-to-curb standards found in the
R-M section of the code. However, "A" street and a portion of
Oakhaven Road are inconsistent with the maximum grade standards
that permit residential streets to have a maximum grade of 6% and
transition roads between residential areas to have a maximum grade
of 10%. Both proposed streets have 10% residential areas and portions
of the transition section of "A" street have a 15% grade.
.
.
.
R-M 79-1
4
Due to the low number of lots impacted by the proposed grades,
the City Council may wish to consider a modification of code
requirements. If a modification is not granted for street grades,
the project should be continued for redesign as the 10% and 15%
sections are needed for the plan. Both Oakhaven Drive and "A" street
exceed the maximum length for a cul-de-sac street of 301.8 feet
and would also require a modification by City Council. The
attached Public Works report points out that Oakhaven Drive exceeds
the allowed length by approximately 700 feet and "A" street would
exceed the allowed length by approximately 2,300 feet.
The grading proposed for the site would not, according to the
applicant's engineer, require relocating material off-site other
than slope easements on adjacent properties. As a part of the
Environmental Impact Report, a geological section was included due
to the extensive amount of grading on-site and the proximity of the
project to the Raymond Hill Fault Zone. The E.I.R. indicated that the
southeast portion of the proposed development is impacted by the
fault zone but the actual fault is located south of the project.
The applicant's engineer estimates that approximately 290,000 cubic
yards of material would have to be moved to accomplish grading
required for the proposed plan. The natural slopes in this area
range from 1.5:1 to 2:1 with man-made slopes in the area of 1:1. In
the opinion of the Envicom's geologist (E.LR. Page 11), the
existing slopes performed well even though portions of the drainage
system required maintenance.
IMPACT OF THE PROJECT ON ADJACENT AREAS
The development of the subject site could result in the likelihood
of development of the adjacent property to the north. Lot 20 is
proposed to be graded in a manner that could facilitate expansion of
this project. However, any expansion of the basic proposal at a
later date would require new environmental documents, a new R-M
permit application and tract or parcel map, all of which would
require public input. The property north of this project is
landlocked and is not easily developable from either Arcadia or
Monrovia. The 4.9 acres adjacent to the subject site on the east
is reasonably developable and could be incorporated in a development
plan entering from Monrovia. Thus, it would appear that the proposed
plan would neither seriously enhance nor detract from the possi-
bilities of developing other hillside property.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act, the Pla~ning Department has prepared an initial study for the
proposed proJect. Said initial study disclosed several substantial
or potentially substantial adverse impacts associated with this
project and an Environmental Impact Report has been prepared for this
project. Said Environmental Impact Report was processed pursuant
to provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and
certified by the City Council after public hearing was conducted
on December 5, 1978.

RECEIVED
FEB 22 1979
CITY OF ARCAPIA
'pLANNING DEPT.
Dear Mr. Witte:
.
This letter is in response to your letter of February 12, 1979
concerning the proposed tentative development located north
of Foothills Junior High School and confirms the District's
position that there will be no negative impact to the District,
as a result of this project.
After reviewing the plans from the developer, it appears that
the completion of the project will significantly help a drainage
problem that now exists at Foothills Junior High School.
This letter also reconfirms the information that was sent to
you from the District on September 8, 1978.
Again, we thank you for keeping us informed about the proposed
project.
Sincerely,
~~ J-j~
