Bertha Staskus, 4111 Walnut Street, stated she was in favor of the proposed Ordinance. TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WAS CALLED FOR BY MAYOR MCCARON. Mr. John McCoy, 4539 North Center, stated he objected to the 6,000 square ft. lots; that this would be inequitable as far as deep lots were concerned; that people could create their own larger lots or buildings; that the increased cost would put certain houses out of reach of working men; that only two houses on deep lots could cause rubbish accumulation; that twenty feet between dwellings was to much and 12 ft. driveways were not necessary; that a 20 ft. set back on a cul-de-sac was excessive and the County only required 15 ft. He inquired as to what would happen if on a two bedroom house the owner wanted to add a third bedroom, would they have to build a 300 square ft. room under the new regulations? City Attorney Flandrick stated that If the new ordinance went into effect builders would have to comply with the regulations as set forth.

TESTIMONY Bill Messeik, 4402 Landis, stated he thought the City had BILL MESSEIK enough chicken coops; that the City should be improved by 4402 Landis larger homes on larger lots; that if people have small homes they try to enlarge them; that a look into the future, say 1970, is larger lots and houses with more recreation area; that small size invites builders to build cheap houses; that a ten foot driveway was not adequate, but twelve feet allowed room for landscaping and more privacy. In answer to Mayor McCaron's question regarding Deep lots, Page 9, Section 9554, Mr. Chivetta stated that on a corner lot it could be more specific and read, 20 feet minimum set back from the face of the garage to the sidewalk." Mayor McCaron stated there should be a minimum building size regardless of the number of bedrooms; 1,000 square ft. mini- mum excluding the garage area and a minimum yard depth to encourage larger rear yards, however he questioned the 60' lot width and suggested a 55' mimimum width with a 6,000 square ft. minimum as this would allow for more open space and yard. Mr. Chivetta'explained the present code states 1300 square ft. and up". Mayor McCaron and Councilman Crites stated that Page 4, No. 7, off street parking facilities, not to exceed two cars", should be clarified providing for residents and roomers, etc. City Attorney Flandrick suggested deleting on Page 4, No. 9 a, Commercial Vehicles: for longer than a 24 hour period". Councilman Crites stated he would like to see larger houses and Councilman Morehead stated that 55 ft. frontage would not provide an adequate rear yard area for recreation. Mayor McCaron stated his reason for preferring a 55 foot wide lot rather than a 60 foot lot; that the remaining 5 foot could be better utilized either at the rear of the dwelling or for a future driveway, if the lot is so designed; that a 60 foot lot would be a greater expense economically while 55 feet would give more recreational area at the side or rear of the lot and make it possible to store campers, etc. in the rear of homes. Discussion followed regarding the economic factors involved in relation to lot width. Final decision on the matter was reserved until after the Council had heard comments from the Commission on lot width. As there was no further testimony regarding AZC-19 Mayor McCaron declared the public hearing closed. City Attorney Flandrick stated that the ordinance would be redrafted, submitted to the Commission for their comments, and resubmitted to the Council. 00- It was the time and place fixed for the continuation of a public hearing on Case No. ZV-150, an appeal from denial of Board of Zoning Adjustments, an appli- cation submitted by Richfield Oil Corporation, William Continued) PUBLIC HEARING, AZC-19 CLOSED DRAFT TO BE REWRITTEN SUBMITTED TO COMMISSION FOR COMMENTS, AND RE- SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL ZV-I50, CONT'D FROM AUG. 17, 1966, APPEAL FROM DECISION OF BZA, REQ.

Planning Director Chivetta stated that the Board of Zoning Adjustments reason for denial of ZV-150 was that it was not compatible with the surrounding area and that it was abutting a duplex and that the illumination of the sign would be a detriment to the property and to the residents residing therein. He continued that this evening the Council had con- sidered the Service Station Regulations proposed by the Planning Commission; that one of the proposals was to limit sign height for service stations to 45 feet maximum height and sign face area for free standing signs to 100 square feet. Based on this, the staff recommends that the Council concur with the Planning Commission's Service Station Regulations and limit the sign, if they wish to overrule the Board, to 45 feet in height and sign face area of 200 square feet. Mr. Chivetta indicated the subject property on a map posted on the wall and its proximity to the apartment house; he also called attention to the proposed location of the sign and the sign itself proposed to be 7 feet in height and 34.8 feet in width bearing the copy Richfield" for a total sign face area of 269 square feet. Mayor McCaron asked if there was any new testimony to be given this evening. September 7, 1966 Page 9 NO. 357 TO ALLOW ERECTION AND MAINT. OF FREE STANDING SIGN IN EXCESS OF 100 SQ. FT.

Mr. Leonard Diestard, 1786 Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, LEONARD DIESTARD, 1786 California, stated that a 45 foot maximum sign height Lincoln Ave., Anaheim would be acceptable to them; that it would be discrimina- tion to deny the Variance after consideration of that fact; that others have been granted Variances for the same request. Mayor McCaron stated that it seemed to him that from the recommendations made that the point to consider here is the interference of the sign with the apartment house. Mr. Diestard stated that the service station has been in existence longer than the apartment house; that it is a matter of opinion whether the sign was detrimental; they did not think so. In answer to a question from Mayor McCaron, Planning Director Chivetta stated that existing upon the property at present is a free standing Richfield sign at the same general location as the proposed sign; that most residents in the area are tolerant of that sign; that when a change is to be made the residents become aware of the situation and complain.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council September 7, 1966 Page 10 Mayor McCaron asked if the present sign is more in line with the windows at the present height. Mr. Chivetta replied yes", that the existing sign is more in line with the structure; that the proposed sign would be considerably higher. Mayor McCaron asked if this would not alleviate some of the light shining directly into the apartment house, if the sign were higher rather than at the same level. Mr. Chivetta replied that this would be the case. Mr. Diestard stated that this was a point that was brought out at an earlier meeting; that the sign would be higher than the windows or roof line of the apartment building. Mayor McCaron stated that it would appear that there would be an advantage in raising the sign; that the application was filed prior to the proposed Service Station Regulations; that he felt that this applica- tion should be treated in a different way; that any future applications would be required to conform to the new regulations; that if it would be to the benefit of the apartment to raise the sign he had no objection to raising the sign, if the illumination would not be increased on the apartment house. Discussion followed regarding sign illumination, and the height of the proposed sign in relation to other service station signs in the area. Councilwoman Gregory questioned whether raising of the sign might not illuminate the whole of the apart- ment house rather than only the lower portion of the building. Mr. Diestard offered in testimony a photograph of the existing sign with the apartment house in the back- ground. He stated that it appeared to be 30 feet and the sign at this elevation appeared to be higher than the apartment; therefore, if the sign were to be raised as high as the Texaco sign it would be approximately 40 feet higher than the apartment building. This would allow the light from the sign to go out rather than down because of the metal portion at the bottom of the sign to deflect the light. Mayor McCaron asked if the sign could be shielded on the ends to further deflect light from the apartment. Mr. Diestard stated that there is no illumination from the end; that there is a covering around the bottom and sides so that the light reflects directly out, away from the sign. As there was no further testimony the public hearing PUBLIC HEARING DECLARED was declared closed by Mayor McCaron. CLOSED ZV-150 Councilman Morehead stated that this case is one that caused Council to issue a moratorium on service stations so that a study could be made and new regulations written; that he was wondering whether this case should be considered under the old or new regulations in view of the fact that he had tentatively approved the new service station ordinance which does not allow signs of this size and height.

Councilman Morehead stated that, in his opinion, to permit the sign to be more compatible with other signs in the area he wondered if the applicant would consider a sign higher than 45 feet and limit the sign face area to 200 square feet. As there were no objections, Mayor McCaron reopened the public hearing. Councilman Morehead directed his question to Mr. Kalinak as to whether the applicants would prefer a sign as high as their competitors or a sign of the height as recommended by the Board of Zoning Adjustments with a larger sign face area. September 7, 1966 Page It PUBLIC HEARING REOPENED Mr. Kalinak replied that he felt the larger sign face area was the most important. Mayor McCaron asked if the sign had already been made. Mr. Kalinak replied that it was the standard freeway size sign and that the existing sign was 83 square feet. Mayor McCaron stated that he would not object to granting the sign at the square footage requested and at 45 feet in height if after the sign is erected it is found that there is an increase in light being directed at the apartment house. Mr. Kalinak replied that some shielding of the light might be possible by placing a metal shield across the end. Councilwoman Gregory stated that the way the sign is situated that shielding will not be of help if the sign face area is enlarged. PUBLIC HEARING DECLARED CLOSED As there were no further questions the hearing was declared closed.

He stated that the matter was referred to the Planning Commission for study of the C-2-A Zone; that the Commission conducted a public hearing Case No. AZC-20); that after considerable deliberation, the Commission determined that the C-2-A zoned properties within the city were appropriately classified; that the Variance procedure had been abused; that in order to insure proper protection of the area that no further Variances be granted unless the same comply with Chapter 4, Article 3, Section 65906 of the Planning and Zoning Law, State of California, which sets up the requirements for granting of a Variance. Mr. Chivetta further stated that the hearing has been closed for Case No. ZV-158. Posted on the wall was a land use and zoning map of the subject property; also a plot plan of the proposed development which Mr. Chivetta called to the Council's attention. He again stated that the public hearing was closed. Mayor McCaron stated that the Council had a communication from the Planning Commission regarding their hearing; that testimony of the owners of property in the area indicate that they are satisfied with the C-2 A zoning; that he did not feel that the granting of Variances parcel by parcel would aid in the development of the area; that he was not altogether certain that C-2-A zoning was sufficient to induce proper development over the entire area; that the area might need further study in order to ensure that the entire area would benefit from any type of development; that he would be against allowing the Variance to go through for that reason. He suggested that perhaps an overlay zone would be another way in which to ensure an orderly development of the area.

She questioned how denial of the Variance would affect Mr. Schavoni Mayor McCaron stated that if someone proceeds with a development before the matter is resolved, that the City has no control over that; that others should not suffer simply because someone jumped the gun; that this is development of one parcel with no thought as to what happens to other properties; that the only properties to benefit from this application and continue to develop would be those facing Francisquito. Those properties facing onto Maine Avenue were practically shut off. He was of the opinion that development should not be allowed on less than an acre parcel of land; that if the City continued to grant Variances for lesser developments that this would be to the detriment of the City and other property owners in the area. Councilwoman Gregory said that the property abutting Mr. Schavoni's was granted a Variance in the past to develop less than an acre; that the parcel had been cleared; that she would like to know what was planned to be constructed upon the property. Planning Director Chivetta replied that the adjacent property which has its frontage on Francisquito Avenue had a Variance granted to develop less than an acre; that there has been a permit issued to construct a drive-in taco stand. Mr. Chivetta continued that there have been previous Variance approved for less than acre development for the Union 76 service station on the corner of Tracy and Baldwin Park Boulevard; the Mobile Oil Station; the Shelf Oil Station on the corner of Francisquito and Baldwin Park Boulevard. Councilwoman Gregory said this was a larger problem than just Mr. Schavoni's case. In answer to Mayor McCaron's question as to which parcel had been granted a Variance adjacent to Mr. Schavoni's, Planning Director Chivetta stated that this was the parcel facing onto Francisquito Avenue, opposite the prolongation of Paddy Lane; that this Variance had been granted approximately 9 months ago. Mayor McCaron and Councilman Morehead stated they were not aware that this property had been granted a Variance. Discussion followed regarding the fact that if a Variance should be approved by the Board which did not meet with the favor of the Council, if the Council was not aware of this before their next meeting date, then the Variance would become final. Discussion involved finding a solu- tion to this problem; some way in which the Council would be aware of each action taken by the Board before such action became final. Councilwoman Gregory spoke of the Information Sheet prepared by the Planning Department after each meeting of the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Planning Commission which informs the Council and citizens of action taken by those bodies. Mayor McCaron stated that a Zone Variance that is tantamount to a zone change should be referred to Council.

He stated that this would be a double check on the Information Sheet; that if there is some item with which a Council member is not familiar with, it could be explained at the time of the Council Meeting by the Planning Director. Mayor McCaron stated that if there was no further discussion a motion for dismissal of ZV-158 was in order. COUNCILMAN MOREHEAD MOVED THAT THE COUNCIL CONCUR WITH MOTION MADE THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION AND DENY ZV-158. MAYOR MCCARON SECONDED. Councilwoman Gregory questioned what legal implications might arise with Mr. Schavoni. City Attorney Flandrick stated that this Variance is only because of lot size; not because of usage or anything else; there is no problem with uses permitted. The same problem can be noted on any of the lots in the area. These lots cannot be used for anything in the absence of a Variance. If the Council feels that the granting of the Variance would have an adverse effect upon the surrounding properties and was not compatible with the provisions of the ordinance and the General Plan, then the Council was free to deny the case. He stressed that the Council should be satisfied on these points and be fully aware of the problems that confront Mr. Schavoni. Mayor McCaron stated that he felt granting of this type Variance would be detrimental to the entire area; that even on an acre basis development might still be detrimental without a planned development of the entire area. Councilwoman Gregory stated that even though the Variance pending before the Council this evening might be denied, the adjacent property's Variance could not be revoked. Mayor McCaron maintained that testimony heard from property owners within the area indicated that they wished the area to remain C-2.A; that they did not want developments on less than an acre. Councilman Morehead stated that property owners of the area were in the audience this evening. City Attorney Flandrick stated that this is a peculiar situation in that this was a lot which could not be used for any purpose without the Variance, because of the lot size; that this is an inherent problem in the C-2 A Zone. Mayor McCaron asked if there could be a check to determine if this property owner objected to the C-2-A Zoning at the time this was up for public hearing. He stated that if the property owner did not object at that time, then he couldn't complain if Council should deny this case.

City Attorney Flandrick stated that if the owners of the property did not want the Variance that all they had to do was file a letter with the City Clerk and withdraw the application; this case would then be dropped. Mayor McCaron asked Mr. Farmer if he was the owner of the property in question. Mr. Ralph Farmer, 3090 North Maine Avenue, Baldwin Park stated that he had lived at this address for 20 years; that he did not apply for the Variance. City Attorney Flandrick asked Mr. Farmer who did apply for the Variance. Mr. David Gilman, 9040 East Huntington Drive, San Gabriel, stated that possibly he could clarify the situation. He said that he was in the real estate business; that Mr. Farmer was selling his property to the applicant; that the property had been in escrow since April II, 1966; that the sale is subject to the granting of the Variance; that at the time the application for Variance was filed there was no communication given to anyone, either Mr. Farmer or himself or Mr. Schavoni the applicant) that there was an impossible situation to get a Variance. City Attorney Flandrick repeated that the public hearing on this matter was closed. He suggested that the matter be held over so that he could examine the escrow papers before any action was taken on the matter. Mayor McCaron asked Mr. Farmer what his attitude was towards the case. Mr. Farmer replied that at the time the property was listed with the real estate firm there were two properties, enough land to provide an acre development. In answer to a question from the Mayor, Mr. Farmer repeated that he owned the corner lot, the one that was being sold, and that nothing was done about the property next door; that they had a chance to sell what he had, they sold it and forgot about the other one.

He asked if, as the Personnel Board has the final say, if it was necessary to have a record of proceedings. City Attorney Flandrick stated the reason for having the services of a court reporter was that if there were any kind of a judicial review involved, that without the reporter, the City Clerk was put in the position of preparing a manuscript; that this was time consuming that the cost of the reporter $50 to $75 per hearing) was in his opinion well worth having. Mayor McCaron asked if, as in Zone Variance Case No. ZV-158, a decision was rendered that was not to the liking of the Council, could the Council appeal such a decision to themselves. City Attorney Flandrick replied no, not under the revised resolution. Councilwoman Gregory stated that the resolution was drafted in accordance with the employees' wishes; that if there should be some problem in the future that they could ask for a revision of the resolution.

H. Sandquist, Agent, for a Zone Variance pursuant to the Baldwin Park Zoning Ordinance No. 357, Section E I) to allow the erection and maintenance of a free standing fin sign in excess of 100 square feet per sign face area, 600 feet high, in the C-2 heavy commercial) Zone, upon a parcel of land located at 13755 Francisquito Avenue. Planning Director Chivetta stated that this case was basic- ally the same as the previous case heard; only that the Board approved a maximum sign height of 45 feet. The applicant was appealing to the Council to increase the height limit to 60 feet. He stated that originally the applicant had submitted an application for Variance for a sign 70 feet in height; the Board of Zoning Adjustments approved the same, but limited the height to 45 feet. The applicant appealed to the Council; Council upheld the Board's decision. Subsequently, the applicant reapplied for a Variance for a sign 60 feet in height; again the Board limited the sign to 45 foot maximum height. The applicant again appealed; this appeal was now before Council. The applicant is requesting a sign, 227.50 square feet of sign face area and 60 feet in height, so that the sign may be viewed from the freeway. Mr. Chivetta further stated that the staff has made a comprehensive study and had determined that the sign was visible at 45 feet, and this was the staff recommendation to the Board. The applicant was not in the audience. Mayor McCaron requested testimony in behalf of the request or in opposition to the request. As none was offered, the public hearing was closed. Mayor McCaron stated that since the topography in this location resembled that of other service station signs in the area, he thought that in fairness to the applicant, this sign also should be allowed a height limit of 60 feet; also that the size of the sign was in keeping with others already installed in the area. He further suggested that all future signs be in keeping with the new Service Station Regulations. Since this application was filed prior to the new regulations, Mayor McCaron felt that in. this case there could be an exception to the new regulations. Discussion followed regarding height of service station signs in the area. MOTION WAS MADE BY MAYOR MCCARON THAT THE REQUEST BE GRANTED FOR A 60 FOOT HEIGHT AND 227 SQUARE FEET OF SIGN FACE AREA, WITH THE SAME RESTRICTIONS AND PROVISIONS AS GRANTED BY THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS.
