November 23, 1965 PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDED TEXT CHANGES FOR ZONE C-M The following are the Planning Department's recommended changes for Zone C-M in the order in which they should appear in the Zoning Ordinance. TITLE I. TITLE 2. USES PERMITTED. To remain the same excepting Section 9265.1.1 should be amended as follows: 9265.1.1 SAME. C-2 Uses. Any use permitted in the C-2 zone. NOTE: This amendment would make Zone C-2 the reference for the type of commercial uses permitted rather than Zone C-3. If Zone C-3 were to be deleted from the Code at a later date, it would not require the amend- ment of this section. REGULATIONS. Sections 9265.2 and 9265.2..1 should remain the same. The remoining sections should be amended or repealed as set forth below: 9265.2.2 Yard Requirements. To be amended to read as follows: Yard Requirements - Commercial. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 9265.2.3, the requirements for front yard, side yard and rear yard shall be the same os specified in Title 2 of Division 3 of this Part. NOTE: This section would also use C-2 as a reference rather than C-3 as is presently done. 9265.2.3 Dwelling Yard Requirements. To be amended to read as fallows: 9265.2.3 - Yard Requirements - Manufacturing. Buildings erected or structurally altered and used for manufacturing purposes where 50% or more of the floor area of the building is used in the manufacture, pro- cessing or treatment of products shall comply with the requirements for front yard, side yard and rear yard as specified in Title 2 of Division 6 of this Part. NOTE: Since residential uses are no longer permitted in commercial zones, the reference to residential uses should be eliminated. In the place of residential yard requirements, a reference should be made to the yard requirements for manufacturing uses. It is suggested that these be the some as those applied to industrial areas (10 ft. front yards; 5 ft. side yards and no rear yard excepting 25 ft. where adjacent to a residential zone). c:;1 \ - 1 - 1". . . . . . 9265.2.4. Lot Area Per Fam i1y. Repeal th is section (no longer requ ired) 9265.2.5. Parking. Repeal this section and establish a new Title regulating parking. ADD A NEW TITLE TITLE 3. PARKING REGULATIONS The regulations establishing parking requirements for Zone C-M shall be the same as those specified in resolution No. 570 for Zone C-2, excepting manufacturing uses shall provide one space for each 500 sq. ft. of floor area. ADD A NEW TITLE TITLE 4. SIGN REGULATIONS The regulations establishing sign requirements for Zone C-M shall be the same as those specified in Resolution No. 570 for Zone C-2. ADD A NEW TITLE TITLE 5. LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS The regulations establishing landscape requirements for Zone C-M shall be the same as those specified in ,Resolution No. 570 for Zone C-2, excepting where 50 percent or more of the floor area of the building is used in the manufacture, processing or treatment of products, the landscaping requirements shall be the same as those regulations for industrial development as specified in Title 2 of Division 6 of this Part. ADD A NEW TITLE TITLE 6. GENERAL REGULA TIONS The regulations establishing the general requirements for Zone C-M shall be the same as those specified in Resolution No. 570 for Zone C-2. - 2 - . . . ... .- . . SUMMARY The above suggested changes provide the outl ine for the City Attorney to aid in drawing a resolution. The concepts used in suggesting certain changes recognize that Zone C-M is a dual purpose zone. It allows both C-2 and manufacturing uses. It is for this reason that it is recommended that where the use is C-2, C-2 regulations should prevail and where the use is Manufacturing, Zone M-l P.I.D. regulations should prevail.

November 9, 1965 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: INFORMATION ITEMS - AGENDA NOVEMBER 9, 1965 Item 4 Committee Reports The Subdivision and Zoning Committee held meetings on Wednesday and Thursday (November 3 and 4). The results of those meetings will be presented Tuesday evening, The Commission will be considering the pro- posed changes to the ordinance for the reg- ulations governing Zone C-2. The hearing on the C-2 amendments has been closed but action by the Commission not taken. The staff sug- guests that a review of the regulations of Zones C-3, etc., be continued until action is taken on those governing C-2. As the Commission is aware there is a great deal of similarity between Zones C-2 and C-3. It may well be that the changes approved for C-2 will also be appropriate for Zone C-3. Continued Public Hearing Proposed Amendments to the Text of the Zoning Ordinance Item 5 . This hearing was instituted by the Commission to determine the propriety of the existing zoning on the area bounded by Duarte Road, the south property line of the property on the south side of Camino Real, Baldwin Avenue, and Golden West Avenue. The hearing stems from a staff recommendation made as a result of the West Arcadia Study, The recommendations of the staff also are based on the study. For easier understanding and assuming the Commission may want to adopt a resolution on the same evening of the hearing, the area has been divided into three parts. A summary of the recommendation made for each part is as follows: Public Hearing Duarte Road, - Baldwin Avenue Area Item 6 Pa rt 1 Duarte Road, Baldwin Avenue, Naomi Avenue and Golden West Avenue. This area is in four different zoning categories. In between Zone C-l & D and C-2 are some properties in Zones R-3 and R-2. The Commission recently had two zone change applications in the area. One application was filed by the El Rovia Co. It pro- posed to change the zone only on the property owned by the church. The second application was initiated by the Commission and pro- posed to consider the possibility of changing the zone for all the properties in Zones R-2 and R-3. After the public hearings the Commission did approve a resolution making a recommendation to the City Council that the R-2 and R-3 properties be zoned C-2 and D. The staff recommends the Commission consider that its previous decision was correct. . - 1 - . I !. . . . . Information Items November 9, 1965 Page Two Part 2 Golden West Avenue, Westerly City Limits, Camino Real Avenue, Baldwin Avenue and Naomi Avenue. This area is in several zoning categories ranging from Zone R-l through Zones R-2, PR-2, R-3 and C-2. In accordance with the plan in the West Arcadia Study the staff recommends the following changes: 1. The properties at 752-748, 744 and 734-740 Naomi Avenue which are in Zone R-2 and PR-2 be placed in zone C-2 & D. 2. The R-3 property at 1429-1429~ be placed in zone C-2 & n. 3. The C-2 property at 711, 707, 701 Camino Real and at 1445, 1439, and 1431 South Baldwin Avenue be placed in zone C-l. Part 3 Westerly City Limits, Camino Real Avenue, Baldwin Avenue and the rear property line of the lots fronting on Camino Real Avenues. This area was the subject of a public hearing several months ago, Albertson's market wished to build a store. The Planning Com- mission and Department recommended the application not be ap- proved. The Commission and Council both denied the request, The West Arcadia Study indicates that this property should be utilized for convenience type shops and as such the proposal recently dis- approved should be reconsidered in light of the new facts. The staff recommends the following changes: 1. The properties now in Zone R-l with variance rights for a service station and commercial buildings at 1505-1529 South 8aldwin Avenue and at 710-716 Camino Real Avenue be placed in Zones C-l and D. 2. The property now in Zone R-2 at 720-728 Camino Real be placed in Zone C-l and D. The Zone "D" regulations recommended for the C-2 changes are those set forth in Resolution No. 552. The Zone "D" regulations recommended for the C-l changes are as follows: 1, Preliminary plans for the development of the property shall be submitted for approval of the Planning Commission. 2. Final working drawings in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plans shall be submitted for approval of the Planning Department within one year from approval of the preliminary plans. (NOTE: Added "D" regulations are not necessary since the approval of the amendments to Zone C-I.) - 2 - . . . Information Items November 9, 1965 Page Three Suggested Proceedure For the sake of explanation this report described the recommended changes in three parts. However, the staff does not suggest that the Commission action be in three parts but rather by ~ recommendation in one resolution. To aid the Commission in moving this item along the staff report suggests good and valid reasons which could be stated to guide the City Attorney in the preparation of a resolution, These same reasons could be used to deny all or any part of the report simply by stating the same reason preceded by a negative. The reasons for approval ~r disapprova~ are as follows: 1. That within the last five years there has been filed five' variances and five zone change applicationsJ some of which were approved and some of which were denied. Each indicated the development trends in the area. These applications alone indicated a need to evaluate the entire area with a need to change (or not to change) the zoning in the area, . 2. The land originally zoned for commercial development has (or has not) been sufficient to accommodate the normal expansion of ex- isting businesses and to accommodate new business desiring to locate in the area. More (or no more) should be added. 3. The development decisions were compelled to be made on an application by application basis which fostered the need to relate those past decisions to a broader scope encompassing not only the individual lots but rather the area, the other areas nearest the development and the entire city. The broad scope does indicate several (or no) changes in zone. . 4. Previous decisions (some made as long ago as 30 years) have fostered development of the number and type of businesses which now need to be classified as to function, to insure the greatest advantage to the area, the surrounding areas, and the City. This advantage places an order of priority to the stated wishes of a substantial part of the Community to remain essentially a community of quality single family homes; to foster only development which compliments the single family areas in terms of location and quality; to encourage by private enterprise the renewal of run-down areas (commercial, industrial, and residential) to the same qualitive standards of the single family areas; to foster change in a qualitive rather than a quantitive sense in areas where such change will re- inforce the residential character of the city. These have (or have not) pointed to a need for a functional land use classification system or design to insure the appropriate zoning classification in the same manner as areas of the city were classified as single family areas and later classified as Zone R-l. - 3 - . , . . . . . . Information Items November 9, 1965 Page Four 5. The need exists (or does not) to classify areas of the city not already classified according to the function they should perform. The areas previously classified are the residential areas into two parts, one single family, the other multiple family; the industrial areas into two parts, one a commercial-manufacturing, the other a planned in- dustrial area. The remaining areas to be classified are those with the commercial activities. To these areas three classes have been assigned, 1. Convenience 2, Shopping 3. Service With this classification system decisions become clear. The staff report to the Commission presented at the last meeting has been unchanged. As mentioned in the report the Commission can recommend approval to the City Council of the subdivision if in its opinion the intent of the resolution granting the use of the property to six units is properly being fulfilled. The staff, however, cannot recommend that property in Arcadia be di- vided unless all the lots front on a public street. Item 7 Final Map Tract No. 24351 156-160 Duarte Road Item 8 Public Hearing Revised Tentative Map Tract No. 30284 Southeast corner of Michillinda & Orange Grove The Commission has previously approved this lot to be divided into lots with 15,000 sq. ft. The new map proposes fewer lots with 19,000 sq. ft. plus or minus. The history of the property to date is as follows. 1. Tentative map approved by Commission and Council 12/8/64 & 12/15/64. 2. Final map approved by Commission and Council 5/11/65 & 5/18/65. 3. Request by property owners to reconsider approval 6/1/65. 4. Council denial to reconsider 7/6/65. 5. Request of Commission to extend time denied 8/24/65. 6. Revised tentative map filed. The final map has been officially approved by the City with 15,000 sq. ft. lots. It could have been recorded. The approval is valid until December 15, 1965, The property is deed restricted to December 31, 1965. Recording of the map could violate the deed restrictions. Civil action has been brought against the tract by property owners, and the court has issued a restraining order prohibiting the map to be recorded. The subdivider and property owners have agreed to arbitrate. ... , . ~ .. ., . . . '. . Item 9 Resolution This resolution includes the proposed amendments to Zone C-2, It is recommended for approval.
