TO: FROM: SUBJECT: . . March 9, 1965 PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION Z-65-2 KENT CHEVROLET BACKGROUND: ANALYSIS. Planning Commissian first cansidered Zone Change application Z-65-2 submitted by Kent Chevrolet at its February 9, 1965 meeting. At that time the application requested C 2-D zoning an the rear, or nartherly 100 feet and PR-3 zoning on the front, or southerly 170 feet of property known as 653 Fairview Avenue. The Cammission, after considering the application, decided that since no construction plans for the C 2-D property were shown, Zone PR-3 was appropriate for a part of the parcel and PR-2 for the remainder. Subsequently, the appl icant requested reconsideration based on a plan wh ich programmed future construction of a small one story service building, thereby necessitating the Zone C-2 classification. The applicant has likewise amended his application to include a smaJ.Hx>\cel of land (40 ft. x 61 ft.) presently zoned PR-2 property located to the rear ~est Fairview, in order to unify' the zone classification of all of the applicant's property. The Commission, after considering the revised request, felt that in light of the new facts presented reconsideration was justified.. Staff was directed to renotice all property owners with in 300 feet regarding the new request wh ich has been done. As wos mentioned in the Staff report af February 9, 1965, the need of Kent Chevrolet to hove additional parking area and a secondary means of ingress and egress appears quite real. In addition to satisfying these needs the applicant proposes to construct a 1380 sq. ft. one story service building on the reor of the subject property. The proposed building is shown to be buffered from the residentially utilized property to the north by a 20 ft. wide planting strip and an existing fence. , " '-' - 1 - / c'\d ~ " \ . . Property to the east is shown to be buffered by 0 five foot plonting strip ond a wall to be not less than 6 feet high, nor more than eight feet high (height to be negotiated between Kent Chevrolet and property owner to the east). From the standpoint of zoning pattern, the request for a partial C-2 classification on the property appears in order since this classification would encroach no further east than other similiarly zoned properties located to the south. (See accompanying map). , , From a site planning viewpoint the proposed building would appear to be sufficiently buffered to not interfere with the amenities of the properties located to the north and east. (Proposed building would be located adjacent to the driveway and parking areas of the apartment building to the east). Planning Staff, considering zoning reclassification application Z-65-2 in order, recommends that it be approved, subject to the following 0 overlay conditions of approva I. These conditions are recommended to guarantee the compatab iI ity of the subject site with contiguous ro erties and the area in general. . I I . . .. TO: FROM: SUBJECT: . . February 9, 1965 PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION Z - 65 - 2 PARKING lOT - 653 WEST FAIRVIEW AVE APPLlCA nON The appl ication filed in the name of Kent Chevrolet requests a zone change from Zone R-3 to Zones PR-3 ond C-2-D on property known as 659 Fairview Avenue. The request seeks C-2-D zoning on the rear or northerly 100 feet of the subject site in order to line up with the existing zone C-2 property to the west and PR-3 zoning on the front or southerly 170 ft. in order to line up with the existing, Zone PR-3 property to the west. SUBJECT PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING LAND, USE ANALYSIS .."... ,..,...., The subject property is in Zone R-3 and improved with an older single-family house. Property to the north is in a combination of zones, consisting of PR-2, R-3, and C-O and 0 and is improved with a number of dwelling units. Property to the east is in Zone R-3 and is improved with an apartment building. Property to the south (ocross Fairview Avenue) is in Zone R-3 but is utilized for pub I ic parking purposes. Property to the west is in Zones C-2 and PR-3 and util ized for public ond private outomobile parking purposes, The applicont seeks the zone change in order to provide additional convenience, and safety for h is customers. At present the applicant's porking needs appear to exceed his supply. There is also a problem of traffic conflicts on Baldwin Avenue which is at present the only meons of ingress and egress to the site. The subject property, if approved, would supply the necessary additional parking and also provide a secondary means of entering and leaving the facility which is particularly important during race track season. - 1 - '"'~~ . . . Z-65-2 Feb. 9, 1965 Page Twa WP:EM:ma . . If approved, the subject site would be cleared of a non-conforming use (single-family frame house). In addition, the property would be improved with paving and landscaping', thus providing a greater space buffer between the existing apartment house next door and the commercial activities to the west. Planning Staff considers the Zone change request reasonable in terms of Zone compatibility, and proposed useage and, therefore, recommends that it be approved, subject to the following Zone "0" regulations condition: 1. Construct a six (6) ft. high decorative masonry wall along the east property I ine such wall to decrease to a 36 inch height in the front setback area along Fairview Avenue. 2. Construct a 36 inch high decorative masonry wall 5 ft. back of the south property line along Fairview Avenue. NOTE: A 25 ft. wide wall opening shall be permitted for automobile ingress and egress. 3. Install, plant, irrigate and maintain a 5 ft. wide landscaped strip adjacent to and inside of the wall to be constructed on the east property line. 4. Install, plant, irrigote and maintain a 5 ft. wide landscaped strip adjacent to and outside of the wall to be constructed parallel to the south property line. NOTE: All landscaping and irrigation shall be shown on plans and approved by the Planning Department. 5. Submit complete grading, drainage, and constructian plans to the Department of Publ ic Works for their approval. 6. The zoning shall not become operative until all required plans have been submitted to and approved by City of Arcadia Staff which shall be within six months of the effective date of such rezon i ng.

Does public necessity require the proposed change: Is there a real need in the community for more of the types of uses perm i tted by the zone requested than can be ,accommodated in the areas already zoned far such uses? (Fully explain your onswers, considering the surrounding property as well as the property proposed to be reclassified.) Zoning Change needed to supply ample customer parkin~. as well as having exit onto side street to eliminate Hazardous traffic Conditions during Race Track Season. Property directly across the Street South is desilnated PR3 and has been utilized as such. B. Is the property involved in the proposed reclassification more suitable for the purposes permitted in the proposed zone than far the purposes permitted in the present classification? (Answer completely; give all reasons for your answer). Yes property in present zoning not suitable for multiple dwellin~s but is much more suitable as PR3 and C2 Zoning - Which will serve as a buffer between the residential development East and the Commercial Development to the West. " - 2 - ." t.e. o. ,. C. Would the uses permitted by the proposed zone be detrimental in any way to the surrounding property? (Explain reasons supporting your answer.) No - Property adjacent to the East is Large Apartment House. Property at 653 Fairview now has one Two bedroom dwelling with detached garage.' By removing this dwelling it would greatly enhance the beauty of surroundin& property. ~ D. What were the original deed restrictions, uses permitted on the property involved? tions. if any, concerning the type and class of Give the expiration date of these restric- .
