125 EAST SANTA CLARA STREET
ZONE M-I
APPLlCA TION
This applications filed on 18 August 1970 in the name of Mr. Arthur F. Giffis,
buyer in escrow, proposes to operate facilities fora garage and used car sales.
PRESENT ZONING AND LAND USE
The subject site is the location of the old City of Arcadia Department of Public
Works Yards and is zoned M-1. Mixed commercial, industrial and residential
property are north, east, south and west of the site in M-I zone (see attoched
Land Use Zoning Map).
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
This proposal is a request to operate a garage and to sell used cars. The
applicant has stated that he intends to use the subject site for minor repair work
(painting, tune-ups and tire mounting) on automobiles and trucks he purchases
from institutional and public agencies, such as railroads, city and state motor
pools. He would then distribute said vehicles to his automobile sales lots in
,
Monrovia and Lang Beach. He also indicated that the subject site will not be
open to the public for sales or repair work; however, hedbes occasionally expect
to wholesale some of his surplus inventory to other automobile dealers.
The subject site contoins approximately 8,145 square feet af building area on a
rectangularly shaped parcel comprising approximately 48,000 square feet. It
is alsa the applicant's intention to lease to Consolidated Pool Mart of Arcadia
an area of approximately 9,715 square feet at the northweit corner of the

subject site, which contains a building area of approximately 3,110 square feet.
The proposed development does not comply with the Arcadia Municipal Code in
that it does not allow for the required minimum front'yard of ten (IO)feet, nor does
it provide the required seventeen (17) delineated parking stalls and wheel stops.
In addition, truck beds are being stored precariously against a seven (7)- foot
high chain link fence located along the alley at the northeost corner of the
subject site, which is a potential hazard to the safety of the public. And
whereas Section 9266.2.7. of Code states," OUTSIDE 'l:JSAGE. Property out-
side a building may be used for parking, loading, and stdrage areas provided
that all such storage activities conducted thereon are-screened' from view from
adjoining properties and public rights-of-way," it is'Staff's opinion that a
si" (6)-foot high block wall should be installed adjacent to the northerly property
line in lie,u of the existing chain link fence.
Furthermore, it is Staff's apinion theseven(7)-foot.high"chain link fence fronting
Santa Clara Road should be removed, and replaced"wITh a six (6)-foot high block wall.
Said replacement wall should be a minimum of ten~IO}"feet from the southerly property
line, and the area between the southerly property.lil'/eel:l1'ld the subject wall should
be landscaped and irrigated. This would provide the,screening and front yard re-
quirement necessary to camply with Code.
