City Clerk Balkus announced that the hour of 8:00 p.m.
having arrived that it was the time and place fixed for
the continuance of a public hearing on CP-8, an applica-
tion submitted by Rosehaven Rest Home requesting Condi-
tional Use Permit for a 150 Bed Convalescent Home for
30 years in the A-I light agriculture) zone at 3562 Vine-
land Avenue.
Chief Administrative Officer Nordby stated that he had
written three 3) explanatory memorandums to the Council
concerning the subject request; that the first one was
dated August 6, 1963, as a result of a telephone call to
the Regional Planning Commission requesting any documents
that permitted Rosehaven to exist under a Special Permit;
that the documents were received and the August 16, 1963
memorandum set forth the information contained in the
documents; that there were two Special Permits granted by
the Regional Planning Commission, the first one in 1950,
the second 1952 effective 1953; that it appeared from his
reading and interpretation that the second Special Permit
which was effective January 1953, Permit No. 812, that
Rosehaven was granted the capacity of thirty 30) patients
total; that approximately one year later in 1954 the third
request was made to the Regional Planning Commission, this
request which was to increase the capacity was denied by
the Commission; again in 1955 a second request was made
to the Regional Planning Commission to enlarge Rosehaven,
this again was denied, and as a result of this denial
Rosehaven made an appeal to the Board of Supervisors;
the Board of Supervisors reversed the denial of the Regional
Planning Commission and granted permission to house six
6) to thirty 30) patients at 3556 North Vineland; that
he also received from the operators of Rosehaven their
current license issued by the State copy in C.A,0. files);
that this was called a License to conduct an institution
for Aged Persons; that in his brief investigation of the
operation he found all of the people housed in Rosehaven
were not aged persons; that one of the conditions imposed
by the permits granted by the County and again by the
Board of Supervisors restricted the use to aged persons
excepting mental cases; that he found, In his layman's
opinion, there were several patients in Rosehaven that
were mental cases, sub-normal, retarded which seemed to
be in violation of the Special Permit issued by the
County and the reversal of the third request granted by
Board of Supervisors; that the license issued by the
State Department of Social Welfare, the number is 52
of which six are housed at 3556 Vineland; that he could
not justify the 52 from the permits and the granting by
the Board of Supervisors; that he was'still awaiting the
letter which was written to Rosehaven in 1955 by the
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to find out if there
were any additional conditions imposed by the Board of
Supervisors; that he requested this from Dr. Dietz, the
former owner, who had said he would supply the permissive
letter, however, a few hours later Dr.Dietz called and
stated that on the advise of his attorney he would not
supply this information, therefore, I had to make the
request by telephone and the information had not yet
reached his office; that until he received that document
he could not make recommendations or draw any conclusions.

concerning the six 6) retarded patients who were presently

with thirty 30) and one with twenty-two 22); that

with Sections a) and b); that their only objection
should the permit be granted was c) requirement to post
a cash deposit or a letter of credit; that there had been
no indication as to what amount the cash deposit would be,
and secondly it would possibly be discriminatory against
them since there was no indication that this had been applied
to owners or users of land In similar circumstances; that
they had no objections to carrying the matter over and in
the meantime they would cooperate.

Francisquito Avenue, would also be considered at this
time.
City Clerk Balkus stated the required publications had PUBLICATION

Discussion followed.

MAYOR BLOXHAM.
Mr. George Voigt, 617 South Olive Street, Los Angeles, GEO. VOIGT, 617 S.
stated he represented Petro Development Company; that Olive St., L.A.
this request started April of last year; that they had
the misfortune of being the first case to come before
the Planning Commission and City Council under the new
Zoning Ordinance; that the City Council suggested that the
Planning Staff come in with a study and recommendation
for how large an area should be rezoned commercial; that
they believed in their arguments before they had shown
that the trend was to commercial; that the widening of
Baldwin Park Boulevard seriously depreciates the value
of the property as residential; that it took the setback
off of many of the houses; that this street would run
through the front porch and the front rooms of some of
the houses; that the traffic Itself would depreciate the
value as R-I property.
At 9:15 p.m. Councilman Bishop stated he had just received COUNCILMAN BISHOP
notice that his niece had been involved in a serious EXCUSED
accident and asked to be excused.
Mr. Voigt continued stating that the traffic patterns
indicated commercial zoning; that as far as Ramona being
a commercial street, conpideration should be given
to the fact that comnerc al investment Inds its own
neighborhood; that they were now asking for the two corners
even though they understood that the Planning Staff had
just about completed their study and recommendation for
the area; that the Petro Development Company was very
interested in building a shopping center much larger
than the area being asked for commercial zoning now if
he could put together the amount of property necessary;
that the indications he and Mr. Schabarum have had from
the nieghbors were that they were willing to go along
with it and make their properties available for such
development.
Mr. Peter Schabarum, 109 West College, West Covina, PETER SCHABARU'A, IC
applicant, reviewed his previous application, Z-lll; W. College, W. Cov.
that his long range plan was to have four or five
acres for installation of a neighborhood shopping center;
that it was his opinion that the area would warrant a
super market; a variety store etc.
In answer to a question by Michael V. Dargus, 13260 APPLICATION CONCERNt7'
Francisquito, Baldwin Park, Planning Director Kalbfleisch NORTHEAST AND SOUTH
stated the application was for the northeast and the EAST CORNERS
southeast corner.
Mr. Schabarum commented that the City presently was
going through condemnation proceedings on the corner lot
and the one next to it for widening of Baldwin Park
Boulevard; that this would reduce the lot size twenty
20) feet making the lots below 5,000 square feet.

Mayor 3loxham commented that the Council had frowned upon
spot zoning.
Mr. Schabarum stated that he concurred this would be
considered a spot zoning; however he hoped by making this
application and it were approved the City would perhaps
initiate a larger area for commercial zoning; that the
Planning studies showed the trend in this area toward
commercial zoning.
P:1r. Voigt stated he did not see how under the circumstances
this would be considered spot zoning; that in view of the
studies of the Planning Commission this would not stand out
as a spot by itself.
Mrs. Dargus asked how many square feet this would involve.
Mr. Schabarum stated that one parcel corner) was 140 x AREA INVOLVED
160 feet and the northeast parcel was gross 135 x 110,
taking in three parcels; that he was initiating this
application with the hope, that there would be Council
action to commercial or activity on the part of other
owners in this area.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that, in his opinion, if the
Council wished to rezone this that the second reading of
the ordinance could be withheld until the City had obtained
the necessary dedications so that there would be no addi-
tional cost to the City in connection with this action.
condemnation proceedings Baldwin Park Boulevard)
Mr. Schabarum stated that they had not intended to be
argumentative about the dedication; that in certain
instances they had indicated a willingness to install
street improvement.
Mayor Bloxham and Councilwoman Taylor stated this should
be all rezoned rather than spot zoning.
COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD MOVED TO APPROVE THIS ACTION AND SEE MOTION MADE
IF SOMEBODY CAN'T GET GOING.
The motion was withdrawn. MOTION I4ITHDRAWN
Mr. Maurice Chez, 705 North Elm Drive, Beverly Hills, MAIRICE CHEZ, 705
