The keeping of such equine animals provided for herein shall conform to other provisions of law governing same." SECTION 2. The Planning Commission finds that the public convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice justify the above amendments. SECTION 3. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption . of this resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia. I HEREBY CERTIFY that ,the foregoing resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia held on the 9th day of May following vote: , 1972, by the AYES,: Commissioners Kuyper, Livingston, Reiter, Erickson NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioners Huddy, Lauber, PerIis ~C~ , Chairman ATTEST: . /j2{/~.J/f}~-'~ ~cre tary -2- 781 \',. . . . April 25, 1972 TO: PLANNING,COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT FROM: SUBJECT: REVISION OF R-l ZONING REGULATIONS TO PERMIT THE KEEPING Of ANIMALS T.A. 72"73 . This proposed Text Amendment, T.A. 72~3, was continued to the April 25, 1972, Planning Commission meeting. The purpose of this text amendment was to facilitate the admini- stration of the Zoning Ordinance and the public's general knowledge of the uses permitted in the R-l zone. Presently the R-l zone does permit the keeping of livestock. The keeping of horses is not clear in the current R-l zone regu- lations but only as an indirect reference to the R-Q zone regulations. The Planning Department had recommended that the keeping of livestock be eliminated from the. R-l zone. However, the Planning Commission felt that perhaps the keeping of livestock should be a permitted use in the R-l zone. The City Attorney's opinion was that if livestock (9attle) are to be per~itted in the R-l zone, they should also be permitted within the R-Q zone. In addition, the Planning Department received a petition signed by twenty- seven (27) property owners requesting that livestock (cattle) not be permitted in the R-l zones. The Planning Department recommends that Section 9252.1.1+ "Animals and Fowl" be revised to read as follows: . "9452.1.1+. :31l:i\Le. ANIMALS AND FOWL. Small animals and fowl shall include rabb~ts,poul:try, domestic fowl" goats and sheep. The raising or keeping for domestic, non-commerci,al us:' of' not to.e~cee~~ ~ tota~ o.f-.ten ( )fow~ or ~~rds; -'&b~ l?3..:tBUl.g ,. ~J .fil; and total of no.t to xceed five (5) small animals (and ~~~ ~q\ " .. . . T.A. 72-3 2 the offspring of each th~reof until such offspring is capableo:f being raised or maintained separately from and independently of full grown members of the same species);, pr~vided that the keeping of all small animals pr~ided for herein shall conform to other provisions of law governing same." That regulations permitting the keeping of horses be more clearly, established by the inclusion of the following Section: . "....EQUINE (HORSE, FAMILY). The keeping of not more than two (2) equine for the use of the family occupying the lot, on sites having an area of not less than sixteen thousand (i~,OOO) square feet entirely within the boundary lines of a single lot as such lot is shown on, the subdivision map recorded in the office of theC.9unty Recorder. One (1) additional equine may be kept for each additional five thousand (5,000) square feet over the minimum sixteen thousand (16,000) square feet, provided that no more than a total of five (5) equine shall be thus kept. The keeping of such, equine provided for herein shall conform to other provisions of law governing same." al consensus to permit the keep inclusion of the fol1ow~n of the Planning e on should be " . . . . BOV CATTLE FAMILY). bovin n lieu of one equine re ations sh The keeping of one (1) n lieu of the above . I . / " I,f the Planning Commission feels that JIlorethan one (1) cow, bull, steer or calf should be permitted on a lot or parcel of land having an area of not less than 16,000 square feet., it will require a textamendme~t to the Municipal Code as the Code presently defines the keeping of two or more cows, calves" steers, bulls; or. heifers, or combination thereof, constitutes a dairy. ~~ iJ~~ (e> PLANNING DEPARTMENT ~~~ RON CONTRERAS ASSOCIATE PLANNER db , . . .

Also, shouldn't the R-O and R-l zones have the same animal regulations? . I have not been able to find in the Municipal Code a satisfactory explanation as to how many Racing Homing Pigeons a penson may keep or maintain on his property. Section 4136 omits the number of homing pigeons that may be kept on a lot. However, Section 6510 states that if a person maintains more than 200 birds he is required to secure a permit from the City Council and prior to January 1, 1963, a permit was not required. Does this mean that a property owner may keep as many as 199 homing pigeons on his property and still comply with the Municipal Code? Would appreciate your corrunents on this matter. Thank you. . ... .,. . . . l DRAFT . . TO: PLANNING 'COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT T.A.
