NOH, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING CO]V]]\uSSION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLL01'~S:
.
SECTION l. That the reclassification of the above-described
even vIi th
property to Zone C-2 as requested will, ~ the imposition of regulations
under the Zone D Architectural Overlay, permit uses that will be detri-
mental to adjacent properties, improvements and uses and the requested
C-2 reclassification is neither necessary for the proper utilization
of subject property nor is it justified for good zoning practice and
the requested C-2 classification should be denied. That for the most
part the uses proposed by applicant on subject property would be per-
missible under Zone C-l and the uses permissible in Zone C-l would not
be unduly or unreasonably detrimental to adjacent properties, improve-
ents or uses and the reclassification of subject property, particularly

June 23, 1964
TO:
PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM:
PLANN lNG DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT:
Z-64-2 EAST SIDE OF GOLDEN WEST AVENUE BETWEEN DUARTE ROAD AND
NAOMI AVENUE
The Commission, in hearing this case, will be considering two items.
1. Should the area located on the east side of Golden West Avenue and
approximately 330 feet north of Naomi Avenue be annexed to the City
of Arcadia?
2. Should the area proposed for annexation, as well as the area
presently in the City of Arcadia, be placed in a zoning category
which would permit the development of a neighborhood shopping center?
.
The application specifically requests that the property presently in the City
of Arcadia be changed from Zone R-3 to Zone C-2 and D, except for that property
at the immediate corner of Golden West and Duarte Road that is presently in
Zone C-2.
From a planning viewpoint it appears that the area presently unincorporated
should be annexed because:
1. The present development of the property does not appear to be in line
with the market value of the property. Change, therefore, seems
likely to occur in the immediate future. When the change of land use
does happen, it would be advantageous to the City to be able to guide
the new development in a direction compatible with the areas
presently developed in the City rather than to have this power ex-
ercised by the County.
2. The annexation would straighten out the City boundaries in this area.
If the Commission decides to recommend to the City Council that the subject
property should be annexed to the City, it should also recommend the proper
zoning for the area. The balance of this report is, therefore, devoted to
the characteristics of the development proposed, an analysis of those
characteristics, and a summary and conclusions which are the Planning Depart-
ment's recommendations.
CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

ANALYSIS
The evaluation of this proposed shopping center is based on the following four
factors:
1. Feasibility and economic analysis
2. Site evaluation
3. Site planning
4. Type of center
FEASIBn.ITY AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
.
An economic analysis would determine the type and size of the project by
measuring the trading area and spendable income. Such a study would also
evaluate the competition and estimate the buying power which might be attracted
to the center. However, in this case the Department has not had sufficient
time to make such a study, nor is it aware of one completed by the developers
of the project. In fact, in the past, such evidence has not been required.
The mere fact that investment money was available to buy the land and build
a center gave commercial projects their justifications. However, because of the
many commercial developments proposed for the City, the Commission may want to
make such studies mandatory as part of future applications.
SITE EVALUATION
1. LOCATION
The site is accessible for both walk-in trade and customers using
automobiles.
2. SIZE AND SHAPE
The site is under one ownership and undivided by dedicated streets
or alleys. There appears to be no grading difficulties. There is
also sufficient area for the required parking and landscaping.
SITE PLANNING
.
1. PARKING
The off-street parking areas appear to be arranged in a manner pro-
viding ease of access from the street to the aisles, to the stalls.
Separation of customer traffic from truck servicing traffic appears
to be adequate, providing the service areas of the buildings are

Using the above table, it is apparent that the proposed site development has the
characteristics of a neighborhood center.
SUMMARY
1. The subject property is developed ~ith older structures.
2. The subject property is in Zone R-3 except for the immediate corner of
Duarte and Golden West, ~hich is C-2.
3. One-half of the subject site is in the county area.
4. The site can either remain as is (~hich is not like1y~; develop ~ith
apartment buildings; or develop as a neighborhood shopping center.
Of the possible alternatives, the Planning Department recommends that the area
in the County be annexed to the City, and that the entire site be developed as
a neighborhood shopping center in accordance ~ith an approved plot plan. The
latter recommendation also means that rather than place the property in Zone
C2-D, it be placed in Zone C1-D. The C-l classification should also include
that portion of the site presently in Zone C-2.
