May 14, 1974 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION F.ROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGE Z-74-l 1130-1150 WEST COLORADO STREET (EATON PROPERTY) APPLICATION This application was filed on April 26, 1974, by John M. Youngson, owner in escrow, for the property located at 1130-1150 West Colorado Street, the southeast corner of Colorado Stree,t and Michi11inda Avenue, commonly known as the Eaton Property. LAND USE AND ZONING The subj ect property is zoned R-l' and developed with a restaurant and bungalow type motel buildings. The uses on the site have not been actively used for the past four years. The Foothill.Rreeway is located directly north of the sub- ject property. Properties..to the east and south are de- veloped with single family residential uses and zoned R-O & D l5,OQO, The property to the west outside the City is located in unincorporated county territory and is developed with a service.station and Ciiyof Monrovia Water Depart- ment facilities and is zoned ,G-2, R-2 and R-l. (See the attached Land Use and ~onih* Map.) SITE CHARACTERISTICS The subjec.t site contains' 352,520 square feet-"(8.09 acres) and has ,the dimensional characteristics.as indicated on the "Land Use and Zoning Map." PROPOSAL The applicant requests a change ,from the existing R-l zone classification to 'zone' c'lassifications C-2, R-l 10,000 P, and R-l 10,000. ,) ~ " ('y '"'J ~':' f\ /oJ'~i I rCd.~\ ..v V <?; . . . Z-74-l 2 The applicant requests that the northwest. corner 'of the sub- ject property upon which the eXisting restaurant buildings are located be changed to zOne classification C-2. This area ("A" on the plot plan) would have approximately 184 feet of frontage along Michillinda Avenue and 294 feet of frontage along Colorado Street, and a total area of 61,247 square feet (1.40 acres). The property to the east and south of the request~d C-2 zoned area is requested to be changed to zone cla'ssification R-l 10,000 P. This area ("B" on the plot plan) would have approximately 100 feet of frontage along Michillinda Avenue, and 95 feet of frontage along Colorado Street and, a total area of 61,801 square feet (1.42 acres), The remainder of the subj~ct property is requeste~ to be changed to R-l 10,000. This area ("C" on the plot plan) would have approximately 295 feet of fr,ontage along Michil- linda Avenue, 150. feet of fI'ontage' along Colorado Street, 780 feet of ~rontage along Altura Road,'lnd'a"tot.l area of 229,472 square feet (5.27 acres), . ANALYSIS In the analysis of the environmental impact of the requested changes and the inevitable future requests, the Planning Department considered the applicant's zone change request; lot split application; retention of the existing restaurant and/or other C-2 commercial uses (on "A" and "B" of the plot plan) ;,and the development of a single family residential project (on "C" of the plot plan). \ An environmental' impact report was prepared in Jun'e, 1973, for an 84 uni t residential planned deve'lopment proposed for this property. Said.EIR did not, in the opinion bf the Plan- ning Department, disclose' any substantial adverse environ- mental impacts ,resul ting from the proposed RPD. In the opinion of the Planning Department, the changes currently requested, and the development poSsible as a resUlt of these changes, would.not.have any'_Substailtial adverse environmental impacts. Therefore, pursuant to the provisions'of 'the Ga.lifornia Environ- mental Quality Act (CEQA)-, the Planning Departmen1= reviewed tbe proposed zone ,change and detennined that'.the proposal would not have a significant effe~t on the environment. A Negative Declaration has been prepared and filed for this project. . . . . 2-74-1 3 The Planning Commission in its approval or denial of the proposed zone change muit make the determination that the proposed project would or would not have a subst~ntial adverse impact on the 'environment. The exis;ting .Gener.al P-lan designates the subj ect property and surrounding area within.Arcadia as low density resi- dential 3-4 dwelling units per acre. The existing R-l zoning encourages a density of residential development which is not consistent with the existing General Plan designation. The zone change request to R-l 10,000 P and R-l 10,000 is consistent with the residential density encouragea by the Gene,ral Plan, The zone change request to C-2 is not consistent with the General Plan. . State law requires that a tentative subdivision must be found to be consistent 'with a ~ity'i general plan before said subdivision is ~pproved. Therefore, a change ,in the City's General Plan was',required before the previously proposed 84 unit RPD could have'been appr.oved. State law requires that general law cities and counties have zoning ordinances consistent with their respective general plans. Arcadia is a charter city and the state law provisions re- quiring consistency are not mandatory. Therefore, a change of zone per the request of the applicant could be made without constituting a violation'of state law. The Planning Department believes that Arcadia ',s General Plan and zoning should be consistent, and that ,any ~xisting con~ ditions which are inconsistent or changes resulting in in- consistencies should be followed by the appropriate general plan or zoning ordin'ance amendment eliminating said incon- sistencies. The southwest ,corner of Co-lorado Boulevard and Michillinda Avenue is zoned ..and"cdeveloped with automobi-le .oriented and other commercia-l'uses, . . . . Z-74-l 4 The northwest corner of Colorado Boulevard and Michillinda Avenue iszoned,fdr commercial uses. The northeast corner of Colorado Street and Michillinda Avenue is not developable as it is developed with the freeway and street tr~ffic improvements. The general commercial (C-2) zoning of the r.estaurant por- tion of the Eaton property ,would be consistent, wi th 'other adjoining developments, and could provide a good buffer be- tween residential, commercial and traffic uses. ' The general commercial zoning of the corner would facilitate the current.or future property 'owner's understanding of the .potential uses ,of the property. 'The general' commercial zoning would allow ,for ,other.commercialuses i.n addition to or in place of the existing restaurant use, . It should be made~clear'that if the C-2 zone change request is granted there is no certainty that the existing restaurant would be reopened. The fOllowing are alternatives which would be available under a C-2 zone. 1. Reopen the .exis,ting restaurant upon the approval of a conditional use permit application. 2. Removal and reconstruction of a new C-2 commercial use (i.e., restaurant, ,service station, retail stores, etc.) with a conditional use permit if required. 3. Leave the existing' structure and convert it to a new C - 2, us e . Regardless of the actual future use.of the commercially zoned corner', property, ,the parking' area. would have to b'e develop ed and improved in accordance with the minimum code requirements. The R-l 10,000P zone would allow for that 'portion of the property to be used for either R-l 10,000 single family resi- dential development or'for parking, with the latter being anticipa'ted.. Coinmet'cial structures' or uses, other than parking would not be permitted. Thus the proposed R-l 10,000 P would provide ,adjoining' property owners with some measure of assurance that commercial uses would 'not someday abut their properties. . . . . 2-74-1 5 The R-l 10,000 zone would permit the development 'of si,ngle family residences on lots containing not less than 10,000 square feet. The minimum front yard-s,etback would be 25 feet. (R- 0 zone requires 35 feet.) The minimum rear yard setback would be 25 feet for ,one story houses or 35 feet for two story houses (R-O zone has the same requirements). The minimum side yard setback would be 3 feet for one story houses or 5 feet for two 'story houses (R-O zone requires 5 feet and 10 feet respectiVely). If the request.d zone changes are granted it ~santicipated by the Planning Department 'that a commercial U'se o,r uses such as the existing restaurant would be opened or rebuilt on the corner C-2 zoned property, Parking necessary for the commercial us.e or uses would be developed and located on the R-l 10,00,0 P zoned property. Single family dwelling units would eventually be constructed on the remaining R-l 10,000 zoned property. Approximately eighteen such single family homes could be constructed in this area. . The residential uses are anticipated to have their rear yard areas adjacent to the probable parking area, Michillinda Avenue and the existing residential lots fronting on Volante Drive. The residential uses are anticipated to front on Altura Road and a new cul-de-sac street off of'Altura Road. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department believes that the requested zone changes would facilitate a proper development of the subject property, and provide for an adequate buffering between existing..andfuture residential uses, commercial uses and vehicular traffic. I.f the requested commercial zone change is ,apprOved, the Planning ,Department 'recommends that 'the General Plan be subsequently amended 'taking- into account said-cha~ge. . . . . Z-74-l 6 No conditions for approval have been submitted at this time. Specific conditions would be attached .to the divi,sion of the property, Le., lot'split o,r subdivision, 'and any future conditional use permit. The Planning Department recommends approval of zone change Z-74-1. PLANNING DEPARTMENT WILLIAM WOOLARD, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING WW:db . ~_-L.. d)~V~~f~.1;or~... ~ o 0 ~ / 2_' _ ../ ---L ..--?!- t=/ ,.
