Arcadia Stables An inspection was conducted this date of the Arcadia Stables, located at 11721 Clark Street, and the following items of interest to the fire department were noted: 1. First aid fire appliances (fire extinguishers, small pre-connected hoses, etc,) were noted to be in fair to poor condition, and inadequate in number. 2. General yard condttions ranged from fair to good. There are several groups of lumber and heavy timber being stored; however, for the most part this material was stacked and separated from buildings by an accept- able distance, posing no threat to other property should a fire start in anyone of them. 3. Buildings of interest tothe fire department were those housing the hprses. There are four of these stables, each approximately 20' x 300'. They are in two groups, of two buildings in each group, both having a separation of approximately lO' to l2' one from the other. At the time of the inspection there were around eighty horses being stabled in the four buildings. Condition of the all wood structures appears to be fair to good, for the purpose intended. Permanent wiring in these buildings was not inspected at the time. ConcluSl-ons: Generally speaking, the most obvious problem with this occupancy is the lack of adequate first aid fire appliances. If not promptly controlled, a fire, regardless of how small at its start, will quickly spread through the wood stables. One of the first objectives of arriving fire units would be that of freel-ng the horses still in the stables. Obviously, manpower utilized for this purpose will come from the fire fighting crews, and will result ina short handed operation during the first vital minutes after arrival, In order to free the horses, a man would necessarily have to travel down the ll' separation between buildings, opening stall doors on each side of the separation, until he could . . . . . " - 2 - , go no further because of fire. With horses coming out of the stable walkway, incoming fire fighters dragging heavy hose lines would experience additional hazards in the form of fleeing animals. Taking this potential into consideration, it is felt that the occupancy should install the number and type of fire extinguishers that will give reasonable protection from small incipient fires. Consideration for the installation of several yard hydrants with adequate supply lines is of prime importance also. If a fire were to start late at night, and was not immediately noticed, even the presence of first aid fire appliances would be of no Use. Therefore, in conjunction with the updating of the first aid fire appliances, it is recommended that a rate of rise, heat detector fire alarm system be installed, with warning bells located in the stable area and in the occupant's dwelling nearby. This early warning device would allow quick notification to the fire department, and 'fast utilization of fire extinguishers and hand lines (in the case of a small fire) by the occupant. Q~.l Fire Chie RCD:cbc . . . . . July 13, 1976 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: C.U.P. 76-13 11723 CLARK STREET APPLICATION This application, filed on June 28, 1976 by William Jones, requests a conditional use permit for continuance of a riding stable and residence, LAND USE AND ZONING The subject site is zoned M-l and developed with the Arcadia Stables and a residence. Properties to the north, south, east and west are zoned M-l and consist of vacant lots and industrial uses, (See the attached Land Use and Zoning Map.) HISTORY Prom 1954 to 1960, the subject site was a hog farm. On December 6, 1960, the City Council adopted Resolution 3325 which granted a special permit for a riding academy for a 10-year period, In October 1970, Keith Davidson, owner of Arcadia Stables, applied for a conditional use permit (C.U,P. 70-15) requesting the continued operation of the stables, On April 20, 1971, the City Council approved the conditional use permit and Resolution 717 for the riding academy for a 5-year period. (This application expired April 20, 1976,) PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting to continue the use of the existing residence and stable. The site contains approximately 7.88 acres and is developed with a residence, stables, corrals, riding rings and other facilities necessary for the operation of the riding stables. . . C.U.P. 76-13 2 . The existing residence is a addition was built in 1952, ments have been made, mlnlmum of 30 years old, An Since that time no further improve- The riding stable area is in disrepair, and debris (wood, old tires, etc,) is scattered throughout the property, The driveway and parking area need to be resurfaced. The debris should be removed and annual inspections made by the Building and Safety Division, Fire Department and Health Department to ensure that the buildings and grounds do not become a health and/or safety hazard.' A condition of Planning Commission Resolution 717 (C.U.P. 70-15) was that "The permittee shall pay to the City for the water main installation in the sum of $3,728.70, which sum is computed at the rate of $4,143 per front foot." This condition has not been complied with. The Water Manager has recommended that "any future permits should not be issued until payment has been received." . Pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department reviewed the proposed application and determinated that the proposal would not have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration has been prepared and filed for this project. The Planning Commission in its approval or denial of the proposed conditional use permit must make the determination that the proposed project would or would not have a substan- tial adverse impact on the environment. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends approval of c.U.P. 76-13 with the following conditions: I. The applicant shall pay to the City for the water main installation a sum of $3,728.70. 2. The driveway to the stables and parking area shall be repaved. 3. The property shall be cleared of all debris. 4. Annual inspections shall be made by Building and Safety Division, Fire Department and County Health Department to ensure that the building and grounds do not become a safety and/or health problem. .
