' ANALYSIS Approximately a year ago the City of Arcadia undertook a study of conditional uses which re- sulted in the adoption of 0 set of new regulations March 16, 1965. It included a new title regul,ating drive-in businesses which applies to the subject application. This title established the requirements to be met before ri conditional use permit could be grante,p. . In analysin9 the subject property and ,its location, the staff is of the opinion that it can be harmoniously adjusted to the surrounding uses and the community if the above mentioned reg- lJ!ations are generally applied. The corner location which affords ease of ingress and egress - 1 - SVA , -\ J, . . . ~ , . . c.

TO: FROM: SU BJECT: PROBLEM: . . August 24, 1965 PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT CODE INTERPRETATION - B. F. GOODRICH STORE Should automobiles be serviced (i.e., tires sold and installed, brakes adjusted and installed, etc., etc.) from retail stores without a Conditional Use Permit? Section 9275.1 Declaration of Pol icy. "Uses may be permitted by the Planning Commission and Council in Zones in which they are otherwise prohibited by this Chapter, where such uses are found by said Commission and Council to be essential or desirable to the public con- venience or welfare, and can be harmoniously adjusted to the surrounding uses and the community. This declaration is based upon the fact that all of the uses enumerated in this Title posses charocteristics of unique and special form as to' make impractical their being automatically included in any class of use as set forth in the various zones herein defined. Such uniqueness may consist of one or more of the following: 1. Uses which require special consideration to the effect such uses may have on the property values, heolth, safety and welfare on adjacent properties in the neighborhood or in the community as a whole. 2. Differences in the size of the area needed for full development of such uses. 3. Unusual traffic characteristics. 4. Problems incidental to an operation but outside the regular standards of the zone. 5. Special location requirements not related to zoning. 6. Uses which an approximate location is indicoted on the general plan but which exact location and arrangement must be carefully studied." - 1 - ,:,/ . I I Ie . " ',\' . . Code Interpretation August 24, 1965 Page Two This section sets forth the need for the conditional use permit procedure. If the Commission finds all or part of the retail activities proposed by the B. F. Goodrich Co. store to possess the unique characteristics cited in the ordinance they should rule that a Conditionol Use Permit is required. The Commission should be awore that all other automotive oriented activities are required to hove a Conditional Use Permit, i.e., auto laundries, garages, used car sales, and automobile service stations. In addition, other uses when oriented to the automobile rather than to the pedestrian require a Conditional Use Permit. The Commission should also note that the ruling they make in this request is also applicable to other similar type businesses in existence or likely to come into existence. The Planning Department recommends the request be denied and the Commission rule that a Conditional Use Permit is required. PLANNING DEPARTMENT WP:ma Attachments Copy of B. F.

THE PANTRY FOOD MARKETS, INC. GENERAL OFFICES, 309 SOUTH RAYMOND AVENUE. PASADENA, CAL'FDRN'A . 9"0' TELEPHONE 448~3210 MURRAY '.2603 August 18, 1965 J ~. .. Planning Commission Ci ty of A,rcacUa 249 W. Huntington Drive Arcadia, California Gentlemenl As you are aware, The Pantry Food Markets, Inc., has, during the past year, been in the process of developing plans for a neighbor~ood shopping center to be located on Golden West, between Duarte Road and Naomi Avenue, in the City of Arcadia. We have prepared plans for what we believe will be the outstanding neighborhood shopping center in Southern California, both in design and layout. Our company has made every effort to be certain that we accomplish our aims in this facility. We have extended ourselves financially in the development beyond that which would be normal for a food service firm because of our high regard for the City of Arcadia, and the sh9pping habits of its residents. We recognize that some members of the Planning Commission were opposed to the establishment of this facility, in the early stages. Now that the zoning is an accomplished fact, we would hope that the members of the Planning Commission would join with us in making certain that the' facilities to be constructed are in keeping with the character of the City of Arcadia. The plot plans submitted by the original developer were approved with rigid restrictions placed upon the property under the D regulations. A preliminary plot plan for such a development is similar to a general plan for the development of a total city in that circumstances change' and make it necessary for the plan to change as well, to keep in step with current ~vents. In the development of our construction plans and as a part of our' negotiations for leases in the center, we have found it neces- sary to make some minor changes which the Planning Commission " . . . Planning Commission City of Arcadia Page 2 ' August 18, 1965 is being requested to approve. These changes are brought about by the Architect's desire to improve the aesthetic appearance of the development, and to meet the needs of the tenants of the property. The proposed development is now entirely leased on long' term leases, except for 7,200 square feet for which we are now in the process of negotiating a lease. Anyone who is familiar with this type of development will immediately recognize that if tenants are obtained for the development we need to provide structures that meet their needs, which may result in some change of layout from the preliminary plot plans. This has been the case in every development that we are aware of, and we have had considerable experience with these matters. . We have secured the best architects available, in our opinion, to prOVide the architectural plans for the develop- ment, and have likewise secured what we consider to be the best in interior designers and landscape architects for the develop- ment. As a result of their long experience. we feel that they have produced an unusual and outstanding design and the deVia- tions from the D zone regulations have been insignificant. The plans, as developed, more than comply with the normal regula- tions governing C-l zoning. The free standing sign proposed to be erected on the property is limited to 50 sq. ft. on each side. This is in accordance with the severe restriction imposed by the D regula- tions. The height of the sign is limited to 25 feet and this has been complied with also but one of our requests is that you permit an unlighted architectural design feature to rise above the 25 feet to tie the sign in with the chapel type windows which are an architectural feature of the main structure. We can eliminate the architectural feature which extends above the 25 feetr but the architect feels that since it is an open design, it is not in violation of the spirit of the Zone D restrictions, and he strongly believes that the design will i~prove the aes- thetic appearance of not only the sign structure but of the ,de- velopment as well. . ,~ ..1 I, . . . Planning Commission city of Arcadia Page 3 August 18, 1965 considerable time has been devoted by the architect in the designing of the signs for the structure itself and the signs as proposed are aesthetically pleasing to everyone who has had an opportunity to observe the material with which the signs are proposed to be constructed, as well as the type of sign proposed to be installed to identify our various tenants. While the proposed signs may in some cases exceed the limited restrictions in the Zone D regulations, they are uniform in size and design and coordinated in color with the entire shopping center. In our opinion, this will add to the attractiveness of the development as compared with' irregularly placed signs for the Various types of businesses to be located in the center. . Our original plot plan proposed to have all the tenant entrances facing to the west entering from the main parking lotI however, during the leasing process, we ,found it necessary to have tenants in the center which required relatively small spaces and this was impossible to provide without utilizing entrance facilities from the parking lot on Duarte. The set back at this location is considerable and we fElel that the space provided will add to the center with- out any detrimental effects on properties located on the north side of Duarte Road. In fact, the distance from the north side of the shopping center structure to the buildings on the opposite side of Duarte Road is greater than was provided in the original plot plan, and thus prOVides more space for planting. This project has been underway for over a year and we have been faced with a number of delays which were not of OUr making. Every month of delay places our firm in the position of expending in excess of $6,000.00 in interest and taxes on the vacant property for which there is no return. . Any further delay in the start' of construction on the project would be a serious handicap, not on~y to our firm, but to the prospective tenants and perhaps the aesthetics of the structure itself. For this reason, we would urge that the Planning Commission study, in an objective manner, our submitted renderings and plans which are now in the office of the Planning Department. . ., '. . . Planning Commission City of Arcil.dia Page 4 ' August 18, 1965 It is anticipated that the total investment in the shopping center will be in excess of $3.000,000. We believe that your approval will help us bring to reality a project which will be a credit to the City of Arcadia. ... " In view of the fact that we are now in the ,final design stage, we respectfully request that a decision be made at your next meeting so that these plans can be completed and submitted for a building permit. We will, of course, be happy to have a principal of our architectural firm attend your regular meeting or the informal conference held before your regular session. Very truly yours, .

August 24, 1965 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF TIME - TRACT NO. 30284 Location: Zone, No. of Lots: Developer, Southeast corner of Orange Grove and Michillinda Ave. R-O Seven William Hovanitz HISTORY Tentative map filed Tentative map approved by PI. Commission Tentative map approved by City Council Final map approved by PI. Commission final map approved City Council Reconsideration of approval requested Council Date to consider request Council action to sustain original action November, 1964 December 8, 1964 December 15, 1964 May II, 1965 May 18, 1965 May 27, 1965 July 6, 1965 July 6, 1965 ADDED INFORMATION An approval of a tentative map is valid for a one year period unless an extension of time is granted by the legislative body. Within the one year period the map must be recorded or the approval given becomes void. In past cases the Commission has recommended that the City Council approve extensions of time when it has been found that the original conditions of approval were still applicable and that the same characteristics of the site and the area were unchanged. This case is different than past cases in that the property owners in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision feel the lots proposed are too smoll for the area. In this connection the Commission is reminded that at the time of approval, the 15,000 square foot lot size prevailed by Code. The property owners most interested in this tract have been notified. WP:ma ~M~ WILLIAM PHELPS, Planning Director ~~ ,~ . . . . . 1160 w.~ange Grove Arcadia, Calif. August 18, 1965 Ave. City of Arcadia Arcadia, Calif. Gentlemen: This 1s a request that the approval of Subdivision Map # 30284 be extended for one year from the date of present expiration, Dec. 15, 1965 to Dec. 15, 1966. The reasons for this request are due to a conflict of two interests: (1) As a result of normal planning for the 1965- 66 academic year, I was awarded a sabbatical leave at the California State CollRge at Los Angeles for the purpose of research and study. My p~ans included travel and research in Chile, Argentina and Bolivia this fall and in the U.S.S.R. and the near east in the spring and summar of 1966, with a short return here in the early months of 1966. (2) Unexpected problems connected with the efforts of some persons to upset the subdivision approval have, greatly delayed our efforts to have the plans ready for city approval and signing before I must leave Arcadia for the first part of my sabbatical leave. It is possible that during my short return in the early months of le66, these problems might be resolved but in any event. this is not certain, and therefore. the year's extension is proposed as allo~ing more time after my return in August 1966 to attend to these matters. It should be borne in mind that the City Council itself requested that approval of the nwp be dalayed for a period of thirty days (this ac'i;ually vas five "eeks). It would seem logical that this dolay. uhich was not voluntary on the part of the petitIoner might be addMd to the original one year period but would be unneceasary if the additional year were grsnted. Failure to grant this extension of time uould work a great hardship on the petitione~. for the college budget and planning are of necessity worked out a yearl~n advance. Sabbaticals are not automatic but are based upon projects for research or sbudy. Failure to carry out my planned projects could place the pettioner in an embarrassing and unjustifiable position. .
