RESOLUTION NO. 762 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A RESIDENTIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AT 310 WEST FOOTHILL BOULEVARD. WHEREAS, on September 24, 1971, John K. Asder filed an application for a conditional use permit, Planning Department Case No,. C.U.P. 7l-2l, for a residential planned development on property known as 310 West Foothill Boulevard, more particularly described as follows: That portion of Lot 7, Tract No. 948, in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, as shown on map recorded in Book 17, page 21, of Maps, in the Office of the County Recorder of said County, situated between the east line of Tract No. 15430, Map Book 470, page 38 and the west line of Tract No. 20642, Map Book 59~, page 78; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on said matter on October 26, 1971, at which time all intereste'd persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; thereafter the application was modified and plans were submitted for approval of a 10-unit development, and public hearings were held on said modified plans and application on November 23 and December l4, 1971, at which times 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 DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION l. The subject site is zoned R-l single family and developed with a single-family residence, two accessory buildings and two greenhouses. The property is bounded on the north by Foothill Boulevard, on the south by the Foothill Freeway, -l- 762 v! . . . and on the east and west by singl~-family residences in Zone R-l. The applicant proposes to develop a ten lot planned residential development on a site of approximately l02,000 square feet (2.34 acres). The proposed density is within that allowable by co.de; however, the site is less than the three acre minimum requirement. A total of 52 parking spaces (26 covered and 26 open) are proposed, meeting code requirements. A perimeter masonry wall five feet in height has been indicated for all but the Foothill Boulevard property line. The applicant's plot plan indicates that none of the new buildings will be located within 25 feet of the site's perimeter, or exceed two stories or 35 feet in height. ~ The existing 3,800 square foot residence is proposed to remain and encroaches two feet into the 25 foot perimeter setback. SECTION 2. This Commission finds that a development, constructed in substantial compliance with the prelimina~y plans which have been approved by this Commission and in compliance with the conditions of this permit, will be well-related to and will harmonize with existing and future uses of adjacent prop- ertiesand circulation patterns thereon; will not constitute a disruptive element in the neighborhood; and will provide a better environmental design than would be possible under standard sub- division procedures. The Commission further finds that: l. The location of the site between Foothill Boulevard . and the Foothill Freeway and between the rear property lines of residential properties on the east and west makes it difficult to develop this property in a conventional manner. For this reason, a waiver of the site area requirement of a three, acre, -2- 762 . . . . . minimum is justified and said requirement is hereby waived. 2. The granting of a conditional use permit as herein- after provided will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. 3. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, and all yards, parking, load- ing, landscaping, and other. features required to adjust said us,e with the land and uses in the neighborhood. 4. The use applied for at, the 10,cation indicated is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized. 5. The site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use. 6. The granting of such conditional use permit will not adversely affect the general plan. SECTION 3. For the foregoing reasons, subject to approval of the City Council, this Commission grants a conditional use permit for use of said property for a residential planned development subject to compliance with all applicable regulations of the Arcadia Municipal Code, except as specifically waived herein, and upon the following conditions: l. The final plans shall comply with the preliminary plans and shall be approved by the Planning Commission. The final plans shall include elevation plans for all structures and complete landscaping plans, both of which plans shall have been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission prior to the time that the applicant submits the final plans for approval. -3- 762 , . . . . . . 2. The regulations set forth in Sections 8l30.20 and 8130.2l of the Arcadia Municipal Code shall apply to all construc- tion, and the effect of saia regulations shall be incorporated in the final plans. 3. The residential planned developments regulations shall be met with the exception of those specific sections that may be modified by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council. 4. The existing accessory buildings shall be removed before construction begins. 5. Final plans shall include grading and drainage . plans which have been submitted to and approved by the Depart- ment of Public Works. o 6. A five-foot sidewalk and trees shall be installed in the parkway in accordance with standards of the Department of Public Works. 7. All utilities shall be installed underground. 8. The northerly ten feet of the property shall be dedicated for street purposes for the future widening of Foothill Boulevard. SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the City Council. 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 25th day of January , 1972, by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Huddy, Livingston, Perlis, Reiter NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: Commissioner Commissioner COJIUllissioner Erickson Kuyper LaUber9L-~ 7~ Chairman ATTEST: tt J(/i!/&4J7 )/-1 JOr1/3}'// .J ecretary -4- 762 , , . t . . . .. , . .

ASdel', proposes to develope a Planned Unit Development of thirteen (13) lots. PRESENT LAND USE AND ZONING ~ IThe subject site is zoned R-l single family an~ developed with a single-family residence, two accessory buildings and two greenhouses. The property is bounded on the north by Foothill Boulevard, on the south by the Foothill Freeway, and on the east and west by single. family residences in zone R-1. (R,:r.e- .at'taCfl9d T ~nd Use ann' ~eRil~6 lIa.p). . PROPOSAL AND AN~J::S. ~ ~ The~:if~nt proposes to develop a tlliI l~cu nSi lot Planned . Development on a site of approximately 102,000 square feet (2.34 acres). The proposed density is within th~ allow~le by~de~ however, the site is less than the three (3) acre minimum requirement. A total of 52 parking spaces (26 covered and 26 open) are proposed, meeting code requirements. A perimeter masonry wall five feet in height has been indicated for all but the Foothill Boulevard property line. The applicant's plot plan indicates that none of the new buildings will be located within 25 feet of the site's . perimeter, or exceed two stories or 35 feet in height. The existing 3,800 square foot residence is proposed to remain and encroaches two (2) feet into the 25 feet perimeter setback. ... 1.,~'cY Y~1\P'} . . . C,U,P',71-2l 2 There is a 90 foot, setback from center line requirement along Foothill Boulevard. The applicant's proposal indicates a 75 foot setback. The setback from center line along Foothill Boulevard for the houses adjacent to the subject site on the east, fronting on Burnell Oaks Lane is 70 feet, and 'on the west, fronting on,,san Carlos Road is 75 feet. A tentative tract was filed and approved in, 1966 for a six (6) lot subdivision on the subject property (the appli- cant's original request was for seven,(7) lots); At that time concern, was expressed regarding protection of the adjoining developed residential areas. The ,proposed planned Unit Develop- ment, setbacks' and common lands'caping maintenance would provide for adeq~ate protection of adjoining areas. REC0MMENBATION . The Planning Department believes that a Planned Unit Development would be an appropriate method of developing this property which would provide a,better and more compatible development'thanpossible through a conventional subdivision. Because of the location and dimensional characteristics of the ,site, and the character and quality of the adjoining residential developments which preclude the possibility of acquiring additional lot area, the Planning Deparxment would recommend that the three (3) acre minimum site requirement be waived. The Planning Department also believes .that the front set- back could be modified to 75 feet from center line (35 feet from property line) in light, ,of existing developments and .set- backs in the same area. On the othe~ hand, the Planning Department does not view the proposed plot plan as a "Planned Unit :Development." The somewhat equal dispersion of units throughout the site fragments the lot area creating numerous small common open areas rather than creating a significant open, space which can be participated in either passively or actively by the majority of the,property owners. . This dispersion ,of units and fragmentation of open space presents a plan which has t~e appearance,of'R-2 zoned and develOPed property fronting on, what: would be a.sub-standard street. It is the recommendation ,of this Depart~ent that the Planning Commission grant a continuance'of thits item until two meeting's hence in order to allOW for the subndttal..and_review., of revisedplan~ which would comply more with the spirit ,and iritent of the Planned Unit Development ordinance. . . . . . C.U.P. 7l~21 3 However, should the Commission wish to approve this-appli- cation at this time, the following conditions should be made conditions of said approval: l. Conditions as outlined in the attached report from the Department of Public Works shall be complied with to the satisfaction of, the Director of Public Works. 2. That all of the requirements of Ordinance No., 1420, Sections 9277 et. seq. of the Arcadia Municipal Code (Residential Planned Developments) shall be met'with the exception of those specific sections that may. be modified by the Planning Commission and approved'by the City Council. 3. That the two accessory 'buildings and two greenhouses shall be removed. PLANNING DEPARTMENT tfB.-L ~ RON CONTRERAS" ASSOCIATE PLANNER RC:db Attachments . . .
