June 25, 1974 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: 1150 WEST COLORADO STREET (PORTION OF THE EATON PROPERTY) G.P, 74-2 APPLICATION At its regular meeting of May 28, 1974 the Planning Commission dire~ted that a general plan change be initiated for a portion of the Eaton ,Property ,located on the southeast-torner,of Colorado Street and Michillinda Avenue, having'dimensiOns as shown on the attached map. The current general plan designation of the site.is that of low density ,residential (3-4 DUlAC) which is the same as the adjoining property within the City of Arcadia, It is proposed that the general plan be amended to designate the above de- scribed property as general commercial. LAND USE AND ZONING The subject site is zoned R-land is developed 'with a restaurant, a coffee ,shop, and parking area. The buildings have not been 'actively used for the past four years. The property ,to the east and south of the subject site is zone'd,R,l and ispre,sently' developed 'with the vacant Eaton Motel ,and ,Res,!'aurant ,parking area. The Foothill Freeway is Iota ted:',direc tly north of the property, acros s Colorado Street. The property to the west, outside the city is in unincorporated count~,territorr,andis developed with a service station and City of ,Monrovia Water Department facilities and is zoned C-2, R-2 and R-l (see' attached'.Land Use and Zoning Map). ) V~?\Q . . . .; . ' . . G.P. 74-2 2 HISTORY On A~ril ~6~ ,1974 ,John M. Youngson filed 'an application for a zone change for this property, requesting that the zone be changed from R-l to C-2. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter on May 14, 1974 and..subsequently recom- mended, that a:, zone ,change tu. C'.l,' ,Limited' Gommer<:ial, be recom- mended for the subject ~ortion'of the Eato~Ptoperty. (A zone change from R-l to R-l 10,000 and R-l 10,,000 P was also recommended ,for the remainder of the property. This change would..bring the zoning into conformance with the existing General Plan designation.) ANALYSIS The staff report for Z"74-l dated May 14, 1974 stated that an envitonmental impact report done for this property in June, 1973" did not, in the opinion of' the Pl'anning"Department, dis- close any substantial adverse envirohmental 'impacts whi<:h would result from the designation,of this site as general,com- mercial. Therefore, pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department reviewed the proposed general plan change and determin~d that the pro- posal would not have a: significant effect on the" environment. ' A Negative ,Declaration has' been prepared and filed for this project. The Planning Commission in its approval or denial ,of the proc posed ,g.eneral plan ,change ,must make the determination that the proposed project,would,ot would not have a substantial adverse impact on the environment. The staff ,report for Z~74-l also states that because of the commercial ,zoning ,and/or use of the southwest and northwest corners of Michillinda and Colorado and the presence of the Foothill freeway on,the northeast corner, the designation of the subject property ,for general commercial would be consistent with other,adj.oining,developments and could provide a good buffer between residential,commercial and traffic uses.
