March 23, 1965 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: LIVE OAK STUDY COMMITTEE SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LIVE OAK AREA On May 26, 1964, the Planning Commission received a variance request proposing to develop a community shopping center on vacant property in the Live Oak Area. The request, because of its magnitude and likely effects upon the surrounding area, caused attention to be focused on the need for a comprehensive study of the entire Live Oak Business District. . To this end the Planning Department prepared and presented the Live Oak Study to the Commission emboding its recommendations, The Commission then placed the study in the hands of the Live Oak Study Committee, appointed by the Chairman, for the specific purpose of making a more detailed analysis of the area and presenting recommendations to the full Commission. The Live Oak Study Committee held eight meetings. Three of these meetings were with property owners from the areas affected. The study area for the purposes of analysis was divided into Study Areas A, B, C, D, and E. Briefly the area between Santa Anita Avenue and Second Avenue was designated Area "A." The properties on the south side of the street between the same intersections were designated Area "B." The south side of Live Oak Avenue between Santa Anita Avenue and EI Monte Avenue was labeled Area "C." The area commonly known os the "triangle" between Las Tunas ond Live Oak wos designated as Area "D." The remaining property in the study areo on the north side of Los Tunas Drive between Santa Anita and EI Monte Avenue was designated Area "E." With respect to the above stated study areas, the Live Oak Study Committee makes the following recommendations: AREA "A" . The public hearing was closed on Area "A" with the exception of the northeast corner of Santa Anita and Live Oak Avenues. The carner was held open to study the parking problem of the Pie King Restaurant. The reason that the public hearing was closed on the balance of the area was due to the recent study of the area and the general satis- faction of the Commission with the development trends. The Committee recommends that the residential zoning on lots commonly known as 2632 and 2626 Santa Anita Avenue be augmented with a "P" zone. The specific zoning of which would be PR-3 and PR-1 re- spectively. \ ~~ - 1 - . . . Recommendations for Live Oak Areo March 23, 1965 P<lge Two AREA "B" It is recommended that Area "B" be rezoned from C-2 to C-1 & D. Zone C-1 is more compatible with the neighborhood retail character of this area. Due to recent changes in the zone C-l regulations this category more nearly approximates the functional classification of this shopping complex. The "D" regulations would help in the al- leviation of some of the problems and upgrade future development. AREA "C" After thorough study, Area "C" is recommended to remain substantially in its present zoning classification. The Committee would request th<lt the entire south side of Live Oak Avenue between Santa Anita and EI Monte Avenue (including the property zoned M-1) be placed in zone C-M & D. The "D" regulations for this area would provide what the Committee feels is the proper framework for future development in the area. In addition, protection would be given to the residential zones to the south heretofore not provided. . AREA "D" It is recommended that Area "D" be rezoned as follows: (1) The area east of the Arcadia Wash be rezoned from C-2 to C-M & D. (2) The area west of the Arcadia Wash be rezoned from C-2 to C-1 & D. It is proposed that the PR-1 zone along EI Monte Avenue remain as 0 buffer for the residential properties ocross EI Monte Avenue. The placement of "D" regulations on property in this area would again provide for the proper future development in this location and would allow for the compatible adjustment of C-M zoning to existing and proposed use classifications. It was determined that C-M zoning wos proper for the eastern part of the triongle because of its location and present development characteristics. C-1 zoning on the western part of the triangle is compatible with the present development and would allow for a less intensive use classification near the residentiol development to the west. AREA "E" . With respect to Area "E" the Committee would like to present several alternotive proposols for study by the full Commission. This orea hos a wide ronge of development possibilities since the majority of the land is vocant. - 2 - . , . . . ~ . . Recommendations for live Oak Area March 23, 1965 Page Three Of the many possibilities, the'Committee feels that part of the large vacant property at the northwest corner of Santa Anita and Las Tunas should be developed residentially and the balance for commercial purposes. Further, the Committee would recommend the small lots fronting on Las Tunas from EI Monte Avenue to the westerly I ine of the large vacant property be placed in a residential category. Copies of the development proposals are attached to this report for your study. LIVE OAK STUDY COMMITTEE CARL F. HANSON, Chairman ~W}~~ ERNEST MAYER, JR. Secretary CFH,EM:ss - 3 -
