FROM I City Attorney
SUBJECT I Planning Resolution No. 561 - C-O Zone Changes
Attaohed ar0 oopies of Resolution No. 561 ot the Plan-
ning Commission recommending changes in the C-O Zone. Please re-
view the same as soon as possible and if there are any suggested
Ohangea, adaitions. cm1asions or after-thoughts. please let me
know in time to run new pages.
Suffioient additional copies are herewith tral~itted
to the Planning Direotor for delivery to the Planning Commission
with the agenda packet 50 that the Commissioners may sec the
resolution prior to the meeting.
Your attention i8 oalled to the wording of Paragraph 17
of Section 9261.1.2. Under Professional Offioes is listod:
"17. Phsl'ilIaoies where they are developed in
oonjunction with r'ledicBl Offices"
The term "cieveloped in conjunction with" raises mow
questions than it answers. It it be the thought thatthe profes-
sional pharmaoy io to be permitted in Zone C-O only in a building
or oomplex occupied for the most part by the medioal profession,
then we should say so. Furthermore I don't recall that we have
defined a pharmacy anywhere 1n the Code and I am sure that in this
instance the truly professional pharmaoy is here intended as d1s-
tinguished from a "drug store" which haa become a hlgh-soumling
name for a place that sells ever,ything but drugs. In a variance
on Huntington Drive we once apelled out what would be permitted
in a professional pharmacy. Perhaps this could be used aa a basis
for a detinition for professional pharmacy.

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS NO. 560 AND NO. 561 .
RESOLUTION NO. 560 - recommends the text of Zone R-O and the subdivision ordinance be
changed. The item of major significance in this resolution is the
section wh ich recommends to the City Counei I the creation of
a new R-O district. The new district would be R-0-25,OOO. The
older districts would be R-0-J5,OOO and R-0-12,500.
RESOLUTION NO. 561 - recommends the text of Zone C-O be changed. Since the drafting
of the resolution some questions have been raised about the type
of permitted uses (poge 2, Section 9261.1.2 and page 3, Section
9261.1.1), utilities; (page 3, Section 9261.2.8) lighting, (page 4
Section 9261.2.11) outside storage (page 4, Section 9261.2.12)
and outside storage refuse (page 4, Section 9261.2.13) sections of
the resolution.
After reviewing the resolution and considering the questions raised,
it is suggested that the following changes be incorporated into
Resolution No. 561:
9261.1 USES PERMITTED. Add a sentence to insure that the uses
permitted are limited to the sale of services only. The retail-,
wholesale, or manufacture of goods, waresf'products...~
is expressly prohibited except when such g~ods, waresliproducts,
~. are a. necessary adjunct to the serv ices rendered.
9261.1.2. PROFESSIONAL OFFICES. Item 17 delete after the word
"Pharmacies", where they are developed in conjunction with medical
offices'~ A pharmacy as distinguished from a drug store, if considered
as a permitted use in a medical complex should also be considered
as a permitted use if developed independently of a medical complex.

asked the Committee if she should file an application to
change the zone on her property now or wait until the Duarte Road Study is complete.
The Committee decided that on application filed now would probably not be acted
on until after the Duarte Road Study is completed. Therefore, there does not appear
to be any advantage of fil ing.

SUBJECT:
Planning Resolution No. 561 - C-O Zone Changes
In response to the memo from the City Attorney, dated Septemlier 2, 1965,
the following comments are made.
Under Section 9261. 1. 2 we would suggest that some consideration be given
to the inclusion of Building D~signers. While there may be some contention, "
that they are automatically included under Architects, we think that Architect~
would take a different view of this inclusion.
Under the. same Section," Laboratories are permitted. We raise the question
of w~ether .or not there sho\lld not be a defirtition of the type of Laboratories'
that are permitted since Jet Propulsion Lab is classified as a Laboratory and
obviously this type of operation is not the type that would be desirable in ,the
C-O area. We further agree with the City Attorney that there should be a
definition for the permitted pharmacy use:
~
t
Under Se,~t.ion 9261. 2. 11., Light Standards are once again defined as a maximum
of 10' in height and we would only point out that on numerous occasions the City
Council has changed this to a maximum of 15' in height.
I am somewhat confused regarding Section 9261. 2.12 which defines outside
storage and further states that all permanent and temporary storage of wares
flnd merchandise, crates, bottles and similar items shall be within a building.
If such items are within a building, obviously it is not outside storage. Mer-
chandise, crates and similar items would appear to me to define trash and
refuse generally. It might be suggested that.this be defined as inside storage
with a statement that all storage of wares and merchandise shall be within a
building. 1 raise this point since Sections 9261. 2.,12 and 9261. 2.13 appear to
me to be somewhat in conflict, ' ,>. ~' ,
