SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT 76-6
TWO-FAMILY DWELLINGS IN AN R-l ZONE
The Arcadia Municipal Code Section 9252.1.2 now provides for
two-family dwellings in s.inl?;le-family zones if the lot to' be
developed is adjacent to property zonedR-3, P, commercial or
industrial.
The possible intent of the aforementioned Code section could
have been to provide a transition in the land use intensity.
However, Section 9252.1.2 predates the more recent require-
ments for buffers between uses now in the existing multip1e-
family, commercial and indus'tria1 zones. For example, C- 2
zone developments constructed since 1967 adjacent to any type
of residentially zoned property are required to have a six-
foot high block wall and five feet of landscaping to buffer
the effects of commercial uses from residential property.
The present Code section allowing an R-2 type use in an R-l
zone (double the density) is inconsistent with the established
General Plan designation of Residential Single-Family (0-6 du/ac).
Pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental
Quality Act, the Planning Department reviewed the proposed text
amendment and determined that the proposal would not have a
significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration
has been prepared and filed for this text amendment.
The City Council in its approval or denial of the proposed
text amendment must make the determination that the amendment
would or would not have a substantial adverse impact on the
environment.
Staff feels that Section 9252..1.1... of the Arcadia Municipal Code
is obsolete and inconsistent with current City development
