January 9, 1972 TO: PLANNING CO~WISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGE' 2l'~ 7Z -1 0 The Planning Department has in-itiated' zone change pro- ceedings for the consideration of the reclassification of all property lying to the southwest of Forest' Avenue and First Avenue, presently zoned R-l. LAND USE AND ZONING The subj ec,t lots arefi ve CS} individua-I lots zoned R-l, three (3) of which are undeveloped, and two (Z) of which have single family residences. Properties to the north are zoned R-l and R-2 and developed with single family residences. Property to the east is zoned R-2 and is developed with four (4) single family residences and the vacant Monrovia- Arcadia Baptist Church, and one duplex. Property to the southeast is zoned R-2 and is comprised of three (3) vacant lots. The property immediately to the south and west is State-owned freeway property. HISTORY In April of 1965 the State took possession of properties in th.e area, including the ,Southwestern 'portions of Lots 1 and 2, 3 and 4 for development of the Foothill Freeway. This produced a triangle of 'land to the north of the freeway, with eight (8) irregular and triangular shaped lots, including the subject lots. Three (3) of the subject lots (1, 2 and 3) became land-locked, and ,ostensibly useless. Lot 1 was bought by the owners of 711 ,First Avenue and ,forms the tear portion of said lot, but Lots 2 and 3 remain land-iocked and State owned. In May of 1972 the -City Council adopted Ordinance 1451 which reclassified all R-3zoned, property 'in' the area on both sides of First Avenue between the Foothill Freeway and Foothill Boulevard, to "zone -R-2;' This lef.t the 'subject lots in the R-l zone, with the p.roperty:immediate}y adjacent to the east reclassified to zone R-2. . . . : . . 2-72-10 2 The General Plan ,indicates this ar~a to be low density residential. ANALYSIS Lots owners of said lot. R- 2. 1, ,2 and, 3 al'e unimproved.' Lot 1 is owned by the 711 First Avenue and-forms th~rearportion of Presently the lot at 711 First Avenue is zoned Lot 1 is irregular in shape due t,o the freeway construc- tion, and is a total of 8,&59.4 square feet, or .19 acres. It is suggested that Lot 1 be rezoned R-2 to bring it into conformity with the zoning of the properties fronting on Fi rs t Avenue. Lots 2 and 3 are owned by the State, and are zoned R-l~ They have no access to any thoroughfare, and are essentially land-locked and undevelopable. In order to increase the potential for the future use of these lots, 'i tis recommended to rezone the property to R-2. They are composed of 7,925 square feet, or .18 acres. If, how~ver, they are changed to R-2 it may act as an incentive for future use of the land in conjunction with other R-2 property ,development. Lots ~ and 5 are developed with single family residences fronting on Forest Avenue; and both are zoned R-l. Lot 4 is irregular in shape due to. the freeway 'construction, but still cont&ins 7,428 square feet, or .17 acres. Lot 5 is rectangular and contains 6,820 square feet, or .15 acres. Both of these lots, while zoned R~l, are nonconforming with respect to the minimum allowable R-l lot size (7,500 square feet). It is recommended to rezone Lots 4 and 5 to R-2 in order to provide uniformity of zoning with other R-2 property in the area, RECOMMENDATION Rezone the subject ,lots from R-l to R-Z in order to provide uniform zoning within the area; This is contrary to the recommendations ,of the General .Plan; 'however, it is felt that uniformity of zoning in this"par-ticular area is more in conformity with good zoning pr~ctices, .than duality of zoning. It is also felt that R-2 zoning will be more of an impetus for future use of the land. PLANNING DEPARTMENT pr~ER~ PLANNING INTERN \ . I I ell , . F'OO'TtUL.L. 8L.v 1) . " III FL.OR.AL.
