Berry, requests the City to change the existing R-I zoning to Zone CO - D-H in arder to allow the construction of an eight-story office building. 2. SUBJECT PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING LAND USE. The proposed site consists of approximately 94,000 sq. ft. with 286 ft. of frontage on Duorte Road and an average lot depth of approximately 330 ft. The entire site is presently in Zone R-I. The properties surrounding the subject site are in the following zones: A. Property to the east across Lovell - Zone R-l . B. Property to the west - Zone C-3. C. Property to the north across Duarte - Conditional Zone R-3. D. Property to the south Zone R-l . 3. PROPOSED SITE DEVELOPMENT.

ANALYSIS The subject property, based upon the attached precise development plan for the area, appears to be reasonably appropriate for Zone Co-D - H. . The applicants' revised preliminary plans represent a great improvement over those previously considered by the Planning Commission. The number of surface parking stalls has been increased from the 113 first proposed to 167. An additional 33 parking spaces are proposed in a sub- terranean parking lot. Thus, the total parking has been increased by 87 spaces with only a 1000 sq. ft. increase in total building floor area. The additional surface parking area was mode possible by the inclusion of another lot (22,000 sq. ft.) located immediately south of the site first proposed. The proportion of landscaping has also increased considerably. The Planning Department has based its reasoning on the attached plan and, therefore, recommends that Zone Change Application Z - 64 - 1 be approved, subject to the following D-Overlay conditions: 1. The building shall comply with all H Zone requirements. 2. Construct a 6 ft. high ornamental wall along the east and south property lines in the following manner: . A.

Useable Open Space None required 400 sq. ft. per unit 2000:!:, sq. ft. per unit CONCLUSIONS . The Planning Deportment in considering the subject proposal did so with three items in mind. The first consideration was the appropriateness of the subject property for the use for which the site is presently zoned. The sites location across from a high school and adjacent to other semi-public and public uses ruled out the single family use of the subject property, - 2 - ~ . . . V -63-23 . . 2. The use of the subject property for a typical R 3 apartment development ,on the other hand, did not seem appropriate in the sense of compatibility with the fine residential areas to the south and west. 3. Recent City Council statements appear to have eliminated the site for auditorium purposes. Having eliminated these three ,uses from consideration as well as any more intensive uses, i.e., commercial, the chaice became quite narrow. That of either continuing the use of the site for the semi-public types of uses that already exist eastward, or finding a compromise between R 1 and R 3 uses. The proposed garden-I ike residential park development appears infinitely suitable for this purpose. The fact that the plans have been modified does not alter this thinking. After having decided that the proposed use was appropriate, the second consideration became a question of site analysis. The Planning Department finding the proposed development acceptable in terms of compatibility and function, recommends that the variance be approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. The variance not be operative until complete working drawings, prepared by a Registered Architect, in substantiol complionce with the approved preliminary plot plan and elevations and including landscaping and irrigation plans prepared by a landscape architect have been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission which shall be within one year from the date of City Council approval of this variance. 2. Construct a six foot high wall on the south and west property I ines, such wall to be measured from the contiguous properties. In no case shall such wall be less than 5 ft. in height, measured from subject site. 3. Water services shall meet with the standards set forth in the Uniform Plumbing Code and shall be approved by the Water Superintendent. 4. Grading and drainage plans shall be submitted to and approved by the Department of Public Works. 5. All building, landscaping and service area illumination shall be directed away from the adjacent properties and in no case shall any I ighting fixtures be installed above a height of six feet. 6. Make all necessary dedications on Duarte Road necessary to complete road widening. Such dedications to meet with the approval of the Department of Public Works. -3- -1 . . v - 63 - 23 . 7. Install curb and gutter and paving where necessary in accordance with Department of Public Works Standards. 8. Close all existing unused curb cuts and install sidewalks and street lights in accordance with Department of Public Works Standards. 9. All buildings on south side of subject site shall be no closer than 25 ft. from the south property line. - 10. No buildings. on subject site shall be constructed closer than 15 ft. from east and west property lines. 11. Install underground electrical and telephone utility lines to buildings, No overhead services shall be permitted. 12. The working drawings shall meet with all the requirements of the Building Code. . 13. An unobstructed planting area of not less than ten (10) ft. shall be provided immediately adjacent to the required walls on both the south and east portions of the site. Such planting areas shall be planted with plant materials af a variety, size (15 gal. min.) and spacing that will provide a solid barrier within two years after completion of subject development. 14. All planting areas shall be irrigated by means of a permanent, underground sprinkler system (except for heods above grade). 15. Provide at least one elevator or staircase from below grade parking for each one hundred (100) lineal feet of parking area adjacent to Duarte Road. 16. Alter ramp approaches so as to not have below grade parking directly visible to street. 17. Ramp grades sholl meet with Arcadia Engineering Standards and in addition there shall be 0 flat spot on driveway back of the property line of not less than twenty (20) feet. 18. The City Planning Commission shall reserve the right without necessity of further notice or hearing to make minor modifications of any of the foregoing conditions, if such modification will achieve substantially the same results and will in no way be detrimental to adjacent properties or improvements than will the strict campi iance with said conditions.

The Planning Department in considering the subject proposal did so with two items in mind. The first consideration was the appropriateness of the subject property for the use proposed. The sites location across from a high school and adjacent to other semi-public and public uses ruled out the single family use of the subject property. The use of the subject property for a typical R-3 apartment development on the other hand did not seem appropriate in the sense of compatibility with the fine residential areas to the south and west. Page 2. ~ , .. .. . . . v - 63-23 Having eliminated these two uses from considerotion as well as any more intensive uses, i.e., commercial, the choice became quite narrow. That of either continuing the use of the site for the semi-public types of uses that already exist eastward, or finding ,a compromise between R-l and R-3 uses. The proposed garden-like residential park development appears infinitely suitable for this purpose. After having decided that the proposed use was appropriate, the second consideration became a question of site analysis. The Planning Department finding the proposed development well conceived in terms of compatibil ity, aesthetics and function, recommends that the variance be approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. The variance not be operative until complete working drawings in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plot plan and elevations and and including landscaping and irrigation plans prepared by a landscape architect have been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission which shall be within one year from the date of City Council approval of th is variance. . 2. Construct a six ft. high wall on the south and west property lines such wall to be measured from the contiguous properties. In no case shall such wall be less than 5 ft. in height, measured from subject site. 3. Water services shall meet with the standards set forth in the Uniform Plumbing Code and shall be approved by the Water Superintendent. 4. Grading and drainage plans shall be submitted to ond approved by the Department af Publ ic Works. 5. All building, landscaping and service area illumination shall be directed away from the adjacent properties and in no case shall any I ighting fixtures be - installed above a height of six ft. 6. Make all necessary dedications on Duarte Rood necessary to complete rood widening. Such dedications to meet with the approval of the Department of Public Works. 7. Install curb and gutter and paving where necessary in accordance with Department of Public Works Standards. 8. Close all existing unused curb cuts and instoll sidewalks and street lights in accardance with Department of Public Works Standards. . 9. All buildings on south side of subject site shall be no closer than 25 ft. from the south property line. Page 3. .. '..' ... . . . v - 63 - 23 10. No buildings on subject site shall be constructed closer than 20 ft. from east and west property lines. 11. Install underground electrical and telephone utility lines to buildings. No overhead services sh,all be permitted. 12. The working drawings shall meeLwith all the requirements of the Building Code. 13., The City Planning Commission shall reserve the right without necessity of further notice or heoring to make minor modifications of any of the foregoing conditions, if such modification will achieve substantially the same results and will in no way be detrimental to odjacent properties or improvements than will the strict compliance with said conditions.
