Director of Planning Kilgour gave a brief resume of the
case. 4019/21/23 are neighborhood commercial and resi-
dential and the coinnercial use would require abatement
in 1981 with the Zone Chanqe as the lot has mixed usage.
He presented maps showing present and proposed zoning.
Mayor Waldo declared the Public Hearing open.
Fernando Carrasco, 4021 La Rica, represented his parents
regarding 4019/21/23 La Rica and he asked how the zone
change would affect taxes and land values.
Mr. Kilgour said the assessor relates to taxes and
value is established by what is on the property,
not the zoning. The zoning relates to land use
and the General Plan.
Mr. Carrasco said the actual value changes when you
change zoning. It would have more value under
commercial zoning than under Residential zoning.
Councilman Hamilton said a zone change does not chanqe
the value but the usaqe and development does. Rezoninq
did not affect his porperty.
Mr. Carrasco felt the property would have more resale
value if it was commercially zoned. He was also
concerned with the abatement factor of the Barbershop
in 1981. This is a family business only. Five years
pass quickly and he wanted to be sure there would
be no problems for his parents at the end of five
years. He asked for clarification of the value change.
Mayor Waldo said the could apply for a conditional
use permit in 1891 and there should be no problem.
Mr. Sexton spoke regarding the effect of zoning on
the value and said that improvements on the property
to be assessed on the appraisal will determine the
difference, if any, between the two uses. Zoning
could either up grade or down grade property value
depending on the area and the demand for certain
usages. In the absence of precise figures it is
difficult to come to grips with the question.
Mr. Carrasco said he always thought that commercial
would be higher. You start out with industrial zoning
and work down to residential zoning.
Mr. Sexton said in this case the value may be higher.
It may work for him either way. It is not possible
for Council to make a commitment. In 1981 it wilt
come up for review based on its merits and what is
going on at that time.
Mayor Waldo said the City Attorney had informed him
that it would be possible for his parents to come
before the Council to ask for a Conditional Use
Permit to operate their barber shop 5 years from now
or that they could ask for it now to protect them.
Mr. Carrasco asked if it would be a variance.
Mr. Ritchie said it would be a variance and could
extend beyond the abatement period, but this must
be done with notice of a public hearing that Mrs.
Orozco would have to request.

Councilman Hamilton said he has five years before the
abatement and sometimes Council will extend this If
it is an unreasonable period. He said there was
no reason a zone variance could not be granted at that
time to continue to operate the barber shop.
Mrs. Orozco, 4021 La Rica, said the barber shop is their
sole support and felt it should remain there.
Mr. Kilgour explained there were 10 properties involved
in the zone change. The Planning Commission is trying
to develop the General Plan and the zoning ordinance to
relate to the uses that will happen there and this neighbor-
hood is already developed to a good degree in the direction
of multiple family residences. He read a paragraph from
the Planning Commission minutes where Chairman Wittig went
on record after the public hearing was closed to say that
if they felt the abatement period of 1981 is unreasonable,
it was the consensus of the Commission that the 5-year
abatement period was unreasonable), then a change in the
ordinance, allowing commercial and residential mixed, would
not be the best way to handle it. They would want to review
each case as it came before the Commission. Mr. Kilgour
said they would want to consider each case on its own merits
regarding the abatement of its use, such as the economic
value of the structure and its use and set a reasonable
period of time for each individual case.
Mr. Ritchie clarified that it can be a variance from the
provisions of the zoning ordinance and that the case could
be initiated now or wait and take the automatic review that
comes at the end of 5 years. The city might take another
look at the abatement provisions of their ordinance and
not put the property owner to that expense.
Tom Cotwick, 3706 North Puente, asked if it was the
proposal to change the vacant lot at 4017 La Rica next
to the barber shop that is presently being used as a
parking lot from C-1 to R-3.
Mr. Kilgour said that was correct.
Tom Carpenter, 4346 Jerry, opposed Z-393, and said that
the variance should be issued now to ease the worry of
the property owners.
As there was no further testimony in favor of or in
opposition to Z-393, Mayor Waldo declared the Public
Hearing dosed.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
It was the time and place fixed for a public hearing on
AZC-72, an amendment to the Zoning Code, Section 9452,
Uncertainty of Boundaries." Initiated by the Planning
Commission.
Publications and postings had been accomplished.
There were no written protests.
Director of Planning Kilgour stated that administration
of the Zoning Code has been hampered by definitions of
zone boundaries. This amendment would clarify location
of such boundaries. Furthermore, rights-of-way which are
presently designated R-1 would be reclassified. This
classification will aid the development of contiguous
commercial and Industrial^zoned property. Some properties
are used for railroad rights-of-way and are not designated
on the zoning map with any particular zone. He read from
Ordinance Section 9452 which stated that where there are
railroad rights-of-way they shall be considered as R-1
zone, and explained that with industrial zone backed up
to R-1 zoned land, technically there should be a 20 ft.
setback from the railroad for industrial property. There
seems to be no need for a setback in the case of rights-
of-way of flood control channels. He read the proposed
amendment to Section 9452,"Uncertainty of Boundaries,"
as it was recommended to the Council from the Planning
Commission.
Mayor Waldo opened the Public Hearing on AZC-72.
Tom Carpenter, 4346 Jerry, asked the Planning Director
if this had anything to dp with zero lot tines where
the railroad runs by Nichols Lumber Company.
Mr. Kilgour said this would have the effect of allowing
a no set back" in commercial and industrial areas lands
adjacent to railroad rights-of-way so that there could be
a zero side yard or zero lot line development. The Building
Code would then qualify the type of structure that could
then be permitted on or adjacent to the property line.
Mr. Carpenter said he had been strongly opposed to zero
lot lines and feared that this might open the door to
more of this use. He felt the proposed amendment should
be studied more carefully to see how it affects the residential
areas and what the impact might be in putting commercial
next to residential areas.
Mr. Kilgour clarified that the change in the Zoning Code
will not allow commercial or industrial development to be
right on the property line adjacent to residentially zoned
properties and that a set back will still be required.
As there was no further testimony in behalf or in objection
to AZC-72, Mayor Waldo declared the Public Hearing closed.

Ernest Perez. 15133 Nubia Street, said neiqhbors directly ERNEST PEREZ
across the street had more home improvements than he and
they had no sidewalk and they were not required by City
Halt. 200 meters north of his house there 1s a new home and
no sidewalk. He cited other instances in the same block.
His construction was handled by Sunset Builders who acquired
the permit and they did not advise him of the sidewalk
requirement.
Mr. Lathrop explained that when a permit was taken out
for home improvements the applicant is advised and
given a printed list of requirements including side-
walks if the valuation exceeds $2500. If a contractor
applies he is advised and the staff contacts the
property owner by phone personally or by tetter of
the requirement. The permit itself states sidewalks
are reouired.
Mr. Perez said he was not advised by the contractor.
If they could afford it they would prefer a fence to
sidewalks. He said he had not been contacted by the
City.
Mr. Lathrop said records indicate that Mr. Perez was
contacted May 1, 1976.
Mr. Perez said the contract was signed and about a month
after the work began, then the inspector came and advised
his wife of the sidewalk requirements.
Acting City Attorney Ritchie said the code did not
provide for any exception if improvement is over
$2500. A code amendment would be the only solution.
Councilman Hamilton suggested that considering build-
ing costs that the City increase home improvements to
$5000 before requiring street improvements.
Mayor Waldo explained that the sidewalk costs would be
about $300.
Mr. Perez said he had extended the kitchen 10 feet and
the living room 5 feet. He said he could not afford a
sidewalk as he had just been back to work for three
months. If he had been aware of the requirements, he
would have made this a part of his loan.
Mr. Ritchie said usually contracts were signed sometime
before permits are applied for and the contractor would
not be apt to convey this unhappy news. So the City
puts the owner on notice after the fact. He questioned
whether a code change to $5000 would alleviate this
situation.
Mr. Lathrop suggested d retroactive proviso. Mr. Ritchie
said this was not feasible; however the work is done but
there has been no final inspection or certificate of
completion. He would prepare an Ordinance for consideration
later in the meeting. Mr. Perez has utilities and with
no city action at this time there is no problem.

Mr. Lathrop explained that on May 1, 1975 Mr. Gutierrez
applied for a permit to add 435 square feet of dwelling.

The permit evaluation was $9,831. Mr. Gutierrez
signed the permit statement that improvements over
$2500 would require sidewalks and drive approach.
At this time he cannot afford the sidewalk and is
asking for a time extension. The Code requires
improvement installation or posting of a cash bond
or an instrument of credit. Some sidewalks are
in on the block.
Discussion followed regarding removal of a large
e1m tree. Mr. Lathrop said that on the Master Plan
of parkway trees this species of elm is considered
undesirable. The City has been removing these
trees as the need arises.
Councilman Aguitar expressed concern for a homeowner
trying to improve his home who was now unemployed.
He felt there should be some relief.
Discussion followed that the permit was signed for
by the owner and the evaluation was $9,831; that
possibly there should be a provision in the Code
to grant reasonable extensions, but the present
Code has no such provision.
Mr. Ritchle said an extension should only be under
extreme circumstances. The utilities are in, and
remodeling should not be started unless the appli-
cant is prepared to conform. There is a waiver
provision in the Code, but it does not apply in
this instance. An extension could be granted
until the tree is removed.
Mr. Lathrop said a neighbor of Mr. Gutierrez is
presently Installing sidewalk and the tree is
being removed.
Mr. Ritchie said no Council action would require
confonnance with the Code. There was no Council
action.

Director of Public Works Lathrop referred to Federal Aid
Urban System Highway Funds and an agreement that the
City Council had approved at the last Council Meeting
with the City of Manhattan Beach for an exchange of
Federal Aid Urban System Highway Funds allocated to
that City for Gas Tax Funds allocated to the City of
Baldwin Park at the rate of 55i of Gas Tax dollars for
each dollar of Federal Aid Urban System Highway Funds.
He said that the City of Manhattan Beach has previously
entered into this executed agreement and adopted the
appropriate Resolution and recommended that the City
Council of Baldwin Park authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to sign the agreement on behalf of the City and
adopt a Resolution.

Director of Public Works Lathrop referred to the Property
Maintenance Program presented at the last Council Meeting.
Councilman Hamilton said he had discussed whether the
program could be carried out from in-house by buying an
automobile, without the cost of $42,000 with Mr. Sexton
and that Mr. Sexton had indicated he had found no way
to do this.
Mr. Sexton said the staffing assignments had been evaluated
and carrying out the program to the level indicated was
perceived to be impossible unless priorities were changed
and personnel reallocated and trained in this specialized
area. One person suggested as having skills in these areas
would have his effectiveness reduced by adding this burden

to his efforts. Stop-gap measures are being accomplished
on a complaint basis, but there are no selected Code
enforcement programs being implemented without further staff
and level of funding to enable achieving success in those
areas. He said he did not foresee any other approach at
this time without the funding to implement the goat
with personnel, materials and a car to make it an effective
program.
Councilman Aguilar was concerned with homeowners who might
be told to repair their home and can not afford to do so.
He felt if a homeowner gets hurt, the program is not worth
it.
Councilman Hamilton said it had been agreed at the joint
meeting with the Planning Commission that something was
needed to improve the situation, but that a budget had
not been adopted yet and he was very concerned with the
$42,000 cost of an enforcement program. But the City is
deteriorating and what other recourse is there?
There was discussion about a HUD grant of $150,000, but
that it had not been received yet and could not be used
for rental properties. It would have to be used on owner
occupied properties rather than commercial.
Mr. Sexton said that a program was under way that may
not meet the desired level expressed by the Planning
Commission and City Council, but they are doing the
best they can at this time.
CONSIDER PROPERTY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM AFTER BUDGET STUDY.
M/S/C: AGUILAR/HAMILTON. There were no objections.
Director of Public Works Lathrop said the Council has
received an Ordinance for consideration that would amend
the property maintenance provisions of the Municipal Code
and would facilitate the implementation of a property
maintenance program whether the additional staffing
and equipment is provided, as set forth in this report,
or whether it is continued on a stop-gap type of program
as presently being implemented.
Mayor Waldo said the Council had decided to hold over
the decision on the Ordinance.

Director of Planning KHgour referred to his report on
a policy recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission which would establish some directions for
the Staff to follow in residential, commercial and
industrial areas relating to sidewalk location, width
of sidewalk and similar situations.
Councilman Hamilton said there were many sidewalks in
town less than 5" and asked how this would affect those
sidewalks.
Mr. Kitgour explained that 4" sidewalks would remain as
4" and that additional sidewalk would match up with
equal 4' width, with uniformity which helps the esthetics
of the neighborhood.

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Director of Public Works Lathrop said the latest
information regarding animal control concerns action
that has been taken by the Contract City's Association
of Los Angeles County as a group and by various in-
dependent cities within the County to request the
Board of Supervisors to continue the present Animal
Control Agreement with a11 cities being served, under
the existing terms of the Agreement. This would
provide the same level of service for collection of
license fees, impounds and other charges. The County
is being asked to study the new fees and charges that
are being proposed during this continuation period,
as they apply to cities who wish to continue contract
services with the County and to unincorporated areas,
and to come up with an appropriate fee schedule.
The Board of Supervisors has further been requested
to consider the formation of special service districts
throughout the County to provide animal control services,
if they are desired, whereby everyone in the special
service district win pay the same rate. The special
district could impose a tax rate or choose to provide
services by license fees and impound charges. He
said he understood the Board of Supervisors had two
very staunch supporters of this request that has been
submitted to them and that it is on the agenda for
the next Board of Supervisors meeting. The staff
recommendation is that the City Council take no action
and await the action of the Board of Supervisors.
Discussion followed regarding bringing free enterprise
into the matter and whether it had ever been tried
by selling a franchise to a private company. Refer-
ences were made to the experiences of El Monte, Azusa
and San Gabriel.
Mayor Waldo asked the Assistant City Manager to make
a study regarding what Baldwin Park could do to save
costs on animal control.
Mr. Sexton said the County probably will continue for
another year and the approach taken by the Board of
Supervisors wilt be analyzed to see what becomes of the
study.

Assistant City Manager Sexton referred to a Resolution
which is an action necessary to formalize the action

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
City Clerk Balkus referred to a request received for
participation in the Los Angeles County Bicentennial
Parade on July 4th. She stated it had been forwarded
to Mr. Hybarger, the Chairman of the Bicentennial Committee,
and read his response in full. Letter in official files)
He indicated no participation in the All Nation Parade
should be attemped, due to summer vacation and holiday
absences, and that no financi&l support can be expected
for reconstruction of the city float used in the
Baldwin Park Days Parade, but suggested that City
officials or representatives participate by riding
in the parade. He expressed that a news release
indicating the intent of the parade should be provided
by the City and City recognition be offered to those
who are designated as a representative of the City
as a participant in the parade.
It was suggested that Mayor Waldo participate by
riding in the parade. He agreed to do so and asked
the Acting City Manager to make the proper response.

Michael Dargus, 13260 E. Francisquito, asked why
no citations had been issued to Moran's for violations.
He stated that the past weekend 14 trucks were parked
on Moran's property, 8 40" semis and 6 30" bulk cement
trucks, and that C-1 or C-2 zoning does not call for a
truck terminal.
Mr. Sexton said the Planning Department has analyzed
that problem and asked Mr. Kilgour for results of the study.
Mr. Kilgour explained a regulation that indicates that in an
R-1 zone, commercial vehicles over 3/4 of a ton may not be
parked in any required-yard area of an R-1 zoned property
within the City. As long as they did not park the trucks
within the 20' setback in the front or the rear or the
5" setback on the side, it is legal and nonenforceable.
Mayor Waldo said he understood that the gentleman has
posted signs there for no parking but they have been
ripped down.
Acting City Attorney Ritchie said there is a Vehicle Code
Section about posting private property, and if it is
continued)

Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Councilman Aguilar asked if there was street lighting
on Rhodes Lane.
Mrs. Beverly said that there was.
Councilman Aguilar suggested it might be advisable to
dedicate the street, if the neighbors were wilting.
Mr. Lathrop stated there would have to be unanimous
dedication of right-of-way on the street and agreement
to improve the curb, gutters and sidewalks in order
for the street to become a public street.
Mrs. Beverly stated the paramedics are often called to
Rhodes Lane, because of heart patients, and that going
down to Barnes Avenue to turn around causes a delay.

James Garrow, 1011 North Baldwin Park Blvd., stated
that the County Pound was one of the finest he had
ever seen and it does cost money to operate it.
He was in favor of retaining its services versus those of
the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society or the City trying
to provide facilities.

Councilman Aguilar clarified, in response to Mr. Dargus,
that his Washington trip wi11 cost him $444 of his own
money to take a week of his vacation not including his
fringe benefits), and that he could have done something
different with his weekend than to go see a bunch of
bureaucrats. He said if the City had worked more on
Federal grants they would have more than they now have,
and that he had polled the Council relative to his trip.

properly posted and the Section cited, the Police Department
can enforce it.
Mr. Kilgour agreed that this can be accomplished outside the
Zoning Code, with cooperation between the property owner and the
Police Department, as part of the Vehicle Code, and keeping
the area pos'tpd. He'confirmed that some of the conflicting
provisions in the Zoning Ordinance are being corrected in
the draft revision of the new Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Sexton stated that he had talked to the property owner,
Mr. Moran, who had indicated a desire to eliminate the
condition and asked for directions from the City after
the analysis was completed.
Mayor Waldo requested that Mr. Sexton write a tetter to
the property owner, informing him of the process under
the Vehicle Code.
Mr. Ritchie instructed Mr. Sexton to explain to Mr. Moran
that he must follow the Vehicle Code language and not
buy a sign from the store.
Mr. Kilgour said the Police Department is helpful in getting
the proper wording on the posting so that it is enforceable.
Mr. Dargus was opposed to money being spent on pleasure
trips called educational trips." He said it was not
necessary to travel to acquire CETA grants and others
if forms were filed properly. He was opposed to the
money spent on the trip to Washington and asked what
is going to be learned from it.
Ruet Ritchie, 12916 Ramona Boulevard, said he operates a
drive-in restaurant on Ramona Boulevard at Francisquito
and has a problem with entrance to his business because
of the medians being installed there. It is necessary to
go down to Barnes Avenue and make a U" turn to come
back to the restaurant and has become a hardship to
everyone living in that area. He presented a petition
to the City Council to authorize a break in the median
strip on Ramona Boulevard, signed by 100% of the citizens
on Rhodes Lane.
Councilman Aguitar explained that when a similar case
on Country Liquor came before the City Council the Council
had investigated and found that the City could lose 100%
of the federal allocation for the project if the break
in the median was permitted.
Director of Public Works Lathrop confirmed that this
would represent $62,000.
Councilman Hamilton felt this was a different situation
than the Country Liquor case, as there is no left turn
pocket in the median on Ramona Boulevard for access to
the 23 homes on Rhodes Lane, even though it is a private
street, and that the City shouldn't be penalized by
losing the funds. He suggested that Mr. Lathrop check
the Federal policy to see if the left turn pocket would
be permissable.
Bess Beverly, 3736 Rhodes Lane, said all the residents
of Rhodes Lane are property owners, with the majority
being senior citizens. When they go shopping or take
their grandchildren out, they have to go all the way
to Barnes and risk the traffic coming off the 605 Freeway.
