4. 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. The wall on the east side of the property shall be set back five feet
from the property I ine and the area between the wall and the property
line landscaped.

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.

.
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.

visible to street.
17. Ramp grades sholl meet with Arcadia Engineering Standards and in addition

than twenty (20) feet.

CONCLUSION
.
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.
