WHEREAS, the Planning Commission on its own motion held a public hearing on August 14, 1973, to consider amending the provisions of the Arcadia Municipal Code relating to the minimum lot size regulations of the M-l zone; and WHEREAS, all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF . ARCADIA HEREBY RECOMMENDS TO THE CITY COUNCIL, THE FOLLOWING CHANGE IN THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE: SECTION 1. That Section 9266.2.3 be amended to read as follows: "9266.2.3. LOT AREA. Every industrial site shall have " a lot area of not less than f:l:fteen thousand (15,000) square fee,t except that the City Council may approve an industrial development of a lot of less than fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet whe~e a hardship by reason of surrounding development, location or, configuration is clearly demonstrated.

Chairman ATTE$T: ~~AI' Secre ary . . -2- 825 . . . . ~ . . . August 14, 1973 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT T. A. 73- 6 REVISION OF SECTION 9266.2.3 Due to the development patte.rn in the ,industrial area north of Huntington Drive, some of the. 'existing lots, are in an undevelopable position. The size and shape of these lots tend to vary because of the many features which tra- verse the area. Some of these features w~ich effect the otherwise rectangular lots are, the:r,i1roa~, freeway, Sa.nta Anita Wash and certain street locations. In addition to these large uses that cut through the ,industrial area, a problem also exists where separate lots are eit~er on the torner of a developed street or sandwiched between two existing industrial uses with litt1e'.chance of' consolida- tion to form the minimum IS,OOO square foot lot for develop- ment as p~r Section 9266..2_3. Staff feels that consideration should-be ,given to a revision in the code which would permit M-1 lots of less than IS,OOO square feet to be developed provided that a hardship exists by reason of location of existing develop- ment on the subject ,property or the surrounding 'properties, or by the configuration or location of the, subj ect-property I and that the proposed development is consistent with the zoning and general plan. The Planning Department recommends ,that ,Section 9266.2.3 be amended to read: "Every industrial site ,shall have a lot ar-ea 'of not less than fifteen thousand. (IS 1000) 'square ,feet ex- cept that the City Council may approve an-industrial development of a lot of less than~fifteenthousand (15,000) square feet where a hardship by reason of surrounding development, location, or configuration is clearly demonstrated. The development must be con- sis,tent with the General Plan and the zoning ordinance." PLANNING DEPARTMENT ~JPnoAA ~ LJ~ JE-m;y F. WITTE ASSOCIATE PLANNER ~~6 . ~.. . . , . . . . .
