SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT T.A. 72-6
REVISION OF ESTABLISHED SETBACK LINES
On seventy-seven of the City's streets, 'there are 311 special
s,etback regulations. On, one of these streets there are eleven
special setbacks on one side and twelve on the other.
These setbacks were established in May, 1931 by Ordinance 257
long before the current use and zoning of the affected properties.
Present development trends have requi~ed numerous modifications to
be made to these special setbacks, particularly in the high density
residential areas.
Because of the constant requests for modifications, and the
apparent unreasonableness of many of the setback requirements, the
Planning Department has begun study of these s~tback regulations.
Because of the number and complexity of these regulations,
the Planning Department can only examine a few areas at a, time.
This first report examines the streets in the downtown and
West Arcadia high density residential areas.
The streets examined in the West Arcadia high density resi-
dential area are Arcadia, Fairview, Golden West and Sunset. Their
predominant setbacks are 70 feet from the center line of the street
(40 feet from the front property line).
This area is zoned R-3 which requires only a 25 foot setback
from the property line. Modifications granted in this area have
permitted 30 foot setbacks. Considerable high density residential
development has taken place at either the special setback require-
ment ,or at a 30 foot from property line modification.
The Planning Department recommen,ds that a 30 fO,ot from property
line be established as the predominant setback and recommends the
following sections of the Arcadia Municipal Code, to be changed to
read as follows.

area a~e, Alta, Bonita, California, Diamond, Eldorado, Fano, Genoa,
Alice and Lucille. Their predominant setbacks are 60 feet from
center line of the street (30 feet fr.om the front property line).
This area is zoned R-3 which requires only a 25 foot setback
from p~operty line. Mod~fications granted in, this area have per-
mitted 25 foot setbacks.
The Planning Department recommends a 25 foot setback from
property line as required by the zoning of the property be established
as the general setback and recommends the following sections of
the Arcadia Municipal Code to be deleted.
