Exhibit "An Res. 965 . . . . . November 9, 1976 TO: PL~~NING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: G.P. 76-2 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION FOR ANNEXATION NO. 46 APPLI CATION The Planning Department has received annexation requests from all of the property owners on the north side of Huntington Drive between Michillinda and South Woodward Drive. This application filed by the City of Arcadia proposes a General Plan designation of Commercial for 3905, 3917, 3921, 3925, . 3935, 3939 and 3951 Huntington Drive' (Los Angeles County). PRESENT LAND USE AND ZONING The area is generally bounded by Huntington Drive on the south, Michillinda Avenue (Arcadia City limits) on the east, South Woodward Boulevard on the west and the alley at the rear of the subject sites on the north. The area is currently zoned R-3 (by the County of Los Angeles) and developed with medical offices and general office space. Property to the east within the City of Arcadia is zoned C-2 and developed with the EI Rancho-May Co. commercial area. The area to the west is developed with a neighborhood park. The area to the south is zoned R-3 (Los Angeles County) and developed with multi-family dwelling units. The area to the north is zoned R-I-20,000 and developed with single-family dwellings. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The proposed annexation consists of approximately 2.02 acres contained on five lots and a portion of Huntington Drive. The subject area is contiguous and consistent with commercial areas in Arcadia. However, the office buildings do not meet parking and landscape requirements as stated in the Arcadia zoning ordinance. . . . G.P. 76-2 2 The subj ect area is fully developed and no maj or addition to the existing buildings is anticipated. If this area is subsequently annexed, the City of Arcadia will gain control of the traffic signal at the corner of Huntington Drive and Michillinda Avenue which would be an asset for the Arcadia Police Department in control of race track traffic. In order to ascertain the potential environmental impact of an annexa- tion application, the Lo~al Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) needs to know the General Plan designation and zoning classifi- cation which would be applied to the subject area by the City of Arcadia. Pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department reviewed the proposed General Plan change and determined that the proposal would not have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration has been prepared and filed. (Negative Declaration and Initial Study are attached). The City Council in its approval or denial of the proposed General Plan change must make the determination that the proposed change would or would not have a substantial adverse impact on the environment. 4It RECOMMENDATION . The Planning Department recommends approval of this application because the use of the property would be compatible with the General Plan designation of Commercial.
