THE CITY PLANNING cO~wrrSSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALI- FORNIA, DOES DETEffi~INE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: . SECTION 1. That pursuant to Division 3 of part 9 of Chap- ter 2 of Article IX of the Arcadia Municipal Code, the City Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia on October 27, 196i-l adopted Resolu- tion No. 535 whereby on its own motion it instituted proceedings for the purpose of considering and making recommendations concerning the reclassification to some more restrictive zone, including ~one D (Architectural Overlay), of the commercial properties located on the north side of Huntington Drive between Baldwin Avenue and Golden West Avenue, pursuant to which notice was duly published and Given and a public hearing duly held on the 24th day of November, 1964, which hearing was duly continued to December 8, 1964, at which times all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be neard and to present evidence. SECTION 2. That subject property- is an isolated cOllunercia1 area of insufficient size to constitute an independent cOTIUllercia1 cen- . ter. That all of the property on the north side of Huntington Drive between Sunset Boulevard and 'Baldwin Avenue is zoned R-3 with the ex- ception of subject property. That the properties on the north side of Huntington Drive behleen Baldwin Avenue and Sunset Boulevard in e'very instance abut residential properties to the rear, i'or the most part zoned R-1. That good zoning practices justify the rec1assifica- of subject property to Zone C-O and Zone D. -1- 537 . . . SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission hereby recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia the re- classification to Zone C-O and to Zone D (Architectural Overlay) that portion of the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, state of Ca1i- f'ornia, described as follows: PARCEL I: Properties located at the northwest corner of Huntington Drive and Old Ranch Road being part of Lot No.6, Tract No. 949, per Boolc 17, page 13, of IV;aps, and further' described as follows: .

The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of 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 Commission held on the 12th day of . ATTEST: Secr'etary . January , 1965, by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Ferguson, Go1isch, Hanson, Kuyper, Parker, Turner and Norton NOES: None ABSENT: None 'j37 . . . . . November 24, 1964 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: ZONING EVALUATION - NORTH SIDE OF HUNTINGTON DRIVE AND BOTH SIDES OF OLD RANCH ROAD, EASTERLY TO BALDWIN AVENUE AREA CHARACTERISTICS The properties under considerotion are commonly known and developed os follows: 701 West Huntington Drive 721 West Huntington Drive 801 West Huntington Drive 807 West Huntington Drive 809 West Huntington Drive 811 West Huntington Drive 813 West Huntington Drive Union Oil Service Station Vocant lot (old Catamaran site) Standard Oil Service Station Beauty Parlor Liquor Store Veterinary and Tack Shop Self Service laundry All of the properties are presently in Zone C-2. The properties surrounding the subject parcels are zoned as fallows: Westerly Northerly Easterly (across Baldwin Ave.) Southerly (across Huntington) Zoned and developed R-3 Zoned and developed R-3 Developed with the Roce Tract - (Zone R-l) Zones C-2, CO-D and R-3 starting at Baldwin Ave. and moving westerly. REVIEW OF AREA The vacant parcel of land located in the center of the study area has not been successful when developed for restaurant purposes. Located between two service stations, and fronting a heavily travelled one-way orterial street and a residential street present site development problems difficult to overcome. ~~\ , - 1 - so . . . . . Hunti ngton Drive November 24, 1964 Poge 2 The property, olthough vacant, has been kept in a fair condition. The owner of the property should be applouded for the foresight used in removing the vacant building. The heovy traffic volumes on Huntington Drive ond Baldwin Avenues support the service station. The I iquor store, beouty porlor ond self-service laundry draw their major patronage from the residents of apartment units on the north side of Huntington Drive and from the passing traffic, while the veterinary and tack shop draw from a specialized trade area well beyond the immediate neighborhood. The close proximity "f these properties to the residential areas is the prime reason for evaluating prior zoning decisions. It would appear that the present zoning relationships lack the necessary continuity to produce maximum compatibility. To allow additional uses with intensity characteristics similar to those which already exist without additional guidance would not be appropriate for two major reasons. A. Such uses could and likely would generate vehicular traffic into the neighboring residential streets where it does not belong, B. Such uses when not developed under architectural overlays seldom are compatible in terms of visual on-site relationships with surrounding land uses. For these reasons the following three alternative recommendations are offered: 1. Rezoning of all properties excepting the immediate corner of Huntington Drive and Baldwin Avenue to a Zone R-3. Advantages (If ultimately developed for residential use) a. Improved compatibility to existing zoning and land use.. b. Improved v isua I effects. c. Improved traffic characteristics in the northerly residential areas. d. Elimination of spot commercial zoning, 2. Rezoning all of the properties to Zone CO- and D, or C-l and D. Advantages a. The kinds of uses that could come into existence would be more restrictive and less intense in character. b. The D-overlay would place architectural controls on any future developments on these properties. These controls would tend to insure a greater (visual and physical) compatibility between developments. -2- . . . . . Huntington Drive November 24, 1964 Page Three 3. Placing all of the praperties as presently zoned (C-2) under a D (arch itectural control) overlay. Advantages a. The D-overlay would place architectural controls on any flliL',re development on these properties. These controls would tend to insure a greater visual and physical compatibi I i ty between devel opmen Is. NOTE: It should be pointed out that the special use study proposed to place many of the inappropriate uses presently automatically permitted in their respective zones into a special use category whereby such land uses as service stations would have to be approved as to location. As has been pointed out each of the alternatives have merit for different reasons, Existing development within the study area should not necessarily establish the future development pattern. Rather a brooder consideration should prevail - one which looks at the total city and its future, If these were not the case zoning decisions of the post would continue to shape the city of future, even though the basic reasons for those decisions hove completely changed. The Commission has but to look at new development that has recently come into existence to test the above statement. (The market development at the northwest corner of Baldwin and Arcadia Avenues, the service station at the northwest corner of Baldwin and Fairview Avenues, and apartment buildings prior to the new ordinance, ore prime examples). Whichever alternative is chosen by the Commission (if approved by the Council) a more desirable relationship of use to use will prevail when the subject area redevelops.

SCHONE CITV MANAGeR Dear Property Owner: This notice of public hearing will probably raise many questions. The purpose of this letter is to answer some of the questions which may come to your mind. What is "Zone D"? Zone "0" is an architectural design zone. In a sense, it is on overlay zone which imposes special regulations above those already in the code which governs development in the entire city. These special regulations are sometimes necessary to insure that development of different uses when close to each other (as commercial building next to a residential building is one example) be done in a manner to minimize any adverse effects one development has on the other. . Why is the hearing necessary? The Commission has the authority to initiate proceedings to determine if the zoning classification on the properties within the City are proper. Most of the basic zoning governing Arcadia was imposed as long ago as twenty plus years. Decisions made then were probably correct but as time passes there is a need to reevaluate past decisions to see if they are still appropriate. Will the zoning on the subject property be changed? This depends on several factors most of which will be revealed at the time of the public hearing. Generally speaking, the Commission does not recommend to the City Council changes in zones on proceedings they initiate unless there ore considerable facts to prove that such changes ore beneficial to the property. the area, and the entire community. Sincerely yours, PLANNING DEPARTMENT d/~~ WilLIAM PHELPS Planning Director I- WP:ma I . . . TO: FROM: SUBJECT: . . January 12, 1965 PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT ZONE RECLASSIFICATION - PROPERTIES lOCATED ON HUNTINGTON DRIVE - EAST AND WEST OF OLD RANCH ROAD BACKGROUND The Planning Commission, at its meeting of November 24, 1964, conducted 0 public hearing to receive testimony regarding property known os: 701 West Huntington Drive 721 West Huntington Drive 801 West Huntington Drive 807 West Huntington Drive 809 West Huntington Drive 811 West Huntington Drive 813 West Huntington Drive Union Oil Service Station Vacant lot (old Catamaran site) Standard Oil Service Station Beauty Parlor Liquor Store Veterinary and Tack Shop Self Service laundry After 011 public testimony had been received, the public hearing was closed os it pertained to the basic zoning. However, the hearing is still open to consider the regulotions for Zone -"D". The Commission, ofter substantial discussion, concluded that 0 greater degree of zoning guidance was appropriate in order to insure that these properties redevelop in 0 manner compatible with the. neighboring residential uses. Towards this' end, the Commission decided that the subject properties should be reclassified from the present Zone C-2 to Zone CO (professional office zone) and "D" (Architectural Overlay zone). The Commission further instructed the Staff to undertake 0 study aimed at the enlargement of the permitted uses in Zone CO. On December 8, 1964, such 0 report was presented. On December 8, 1964, the Commission also considered prel iminary O-overlay conditions suggested for the above referenced properties and directed Staff tQ prepare 0 fino I draft of s~!"e. The balance of,this report will deal with the revised recommended O-overlay conditions: ,S;1 - 1 - ." . . . . . PRESENT ZONE C 0 REGULATIONS IN SUMMARY A.
