RESOLUTION NO. 542 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNIN COMMISSION RECOMMENDING THE DENIAL OF A REQUESTED ZONE CHANGE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 710, 716, 720 AND 728 CAMINO REAL AVENUE AND 1505 AND 1529 SOUTH BALDWIN AVENUE IN SAID CITY. WHEREAS, there was filed,with this Co~ssion on the 25th day of January, 1965, the application of the Herbert M. Piken Company, as agents for the owners, for a zone change from Zones R-l and R-2 to Zone C-2, which application was amended on February 9, 1965 to request a change to Zone C-l and D, on property located at 710, 716, 720 and 728 Camino Real Avenue and 1505 and 1529 South Baldwin Avenue, in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, more ~ specifically described as follows: Lot 1, Block G, Santa Anita Land Company's Tract, excepting therefrom the westerly 264 feet thereof; and, WHEREAS, after due notice as required by the Zoning Ordinance of said City, a public hearing was duly held on said amended applica- tion by and before this Co~ssion on February 23, 1965, at which time all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That subject property is presently in Zone R-l . and R-2, and 1s vacant except for a service station on the immediate corner of Baldwin and Camino Real which came into existence as a re- suIt of a variance granted in November, 1960. That property to the north across Camino Real is zoned C-2 and R-3 and improved with com- mercial and multiple dwelling uses. That property to the east across -1- 542 . . . . . Baldwin Avenue is in Zone C-2 and R-3 and is improved with commercial, single-family and multiple dwelling uses. That property to the south is in Zone R-l and is improved with a convalescent home which came into existence as a result or a variance granted in September, 1960. That property to the west is in Zone R-2 and is improved with single- family and duplex housing. SECTION 2. That the basic purpose of zoning is to divide a community into districts segregating compatible from incompatible uses, in order to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the community. Once this has been accomplished in a cOmmuni~y, evaluation of all zone change applications must be primarily based upon a consideration of whether or not such rezoning would be in harmony and consistent with the surrounding zoning and land uses as well. That subject application, by seeking to introduce a com- mercial zone on the subJect property, fails to meet this most basic requisite for two reasons. First, it proposes commercial zoning on property surrounded on three sides by residentially zoned and used property. Second, it proposes to extend commercial zoning further ~outh on a street already overburdened with strip commercial zoning and development. That sound community planning seeks to curtail rather than encourage such land use. That the proposed development plans fail to meet the criteria of compatibility from the site planning viewpoint. That the activity and noise levels attendant to a supermarket operation can in no possible way mesh compatibly with the neighboring residen- tially used properties. This fact is particularly true since one of the contiguous properties is improved with a recently developed con- valescent home the whole existence of which is based upon a reasonably quiet and peacerul environment. That in view of the foregoing the re- quested reclassification is not justified by good zoning practices. -2- 542 . . ~ . SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, this Co~ssion ~ecomme~ds to the City Council that the requested zone change on the above-described property be denied. SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a copy hereof to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia. I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the City Planning Co~ssion held on the 9th day of March , 1965, by the following vote: AYES: Co~nissioners Ferguson, Golisch, Parker"Turner and Norton .

PIKEN COMPANY, Acting as Agents far the awners af real praperty lacated within the City of Arcadia, California, and hereinafter described, has filed with the Planning Cammission of the City of Arcadia, a petitian requesting a ZONE CHANGE from Zane R-1 and R-2 to Zane C-1 and D. Q) vyt" cr The east 132 ft. af the west 396 ft. af Lot 1, in Black G, Santa Anita Land Com'pary's Tract, in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, as per Map recorded. in Book 6, page 137 of Maps, in the office of the County Recorder. Santa Anita Land Company's Tract, Block G, POrifl~ot 1, In the' City of Arcadia, excepting therefrom, the eds.! 396, ft. thereof; and ,. ., ',.. di. p - .., ') j...lo , . The subject properties are commonly known as 710, 716, 720, and 728 Camino Real; and 1505 and 1529 Sauth Baldwin Avenue. The applicant requests a zone change to permit construction of an "ALBERTSON'S SUPERMARKET". The ariginal application scheduled for public hearing" February 9, 1965, requested a change to Zone C-2. At that meeting the appl icant requested their appl ication be amended to request Zone C-1 and D. The difference between the two zones is that Zone C-2 permits a larger number of commercial uses of a more intensive nature than woull be permitted in Zone C-1.. The Zone "0" request would allow the establishment of architectural controls on the property. NOW, THEREFORE, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday, FEBRUARY 23, 1965, at the hour of 8:00 o'clock P.M., in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 240 West Huntington Drive, Arcadia, California, said Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the question of said proposed application, and an opportunity will be afforded to persons particularly interested, and the public generally, to be heard on all matters concerning said zone change.
