M/S/C: IZELL/MC NEILL. There were no objections. 00- Mayor White said the joint meeting was to facilitate the processing of the General Plan. The Planning Commission is a very specialized function of City Government while the Council function is more general. He said that it was necessary to meet jointly to get together on general issues and white there may not ever be agreement on anyone issue, the general concensus will indicate the general direction of the General Plan. There are 3 items important to the development of the City in the next 15 to 20 years to be decided jointly: 1. General Plan Status 2. Land Use Development and Economics 3. Housing Projections 00- Mr. Kelly said it had been 7 months since the last joint meeting, at which time Technical Reports 1 & 2 of the General Plan were presented for public review and comment as well as Commission and Council review and comment. Since that time the Planning Staff has changed. This caused a delay in the completion of the General Plan project and there has been a redirection in many areas of the General Plan. He said the Council and the Commission will be setting policies on the completion of the General Plan. The Staff Continued EXCUSE ABSENCE COUNCILMAN AGUILAR PURPOSE OF MEETING GENERAL PLAN REPORT MR.

However, the staff cannot proceed to completion without precise direction from the Council and the Commission as to their desires as to the future develop- ment of land, such as deep lots, future streets, etc. The Commission wilt begin discussion of the General Plan about the mid-end of July, at which time there will be public reviews. The document wilt not be complete, but it deserves public input and discussion. The Commission wilt make a recommen- dation to Council setting forth their findings, modifica- tions or recommendations. The City Council will then review and hopefully adopt the General Plan. Mr. Kelly explained that since the original contract for the General Plan there had been changes in State Law which significantly effect the direction of the General Plan. The most important modification is in the housing elements which requires that land use totally use the General Plan as a guideline. The State also requires provision of housing for a11 segments of economic levels of people in the Community. If guidelines are not met the State has authority to shut down all building permits. In order to comply, the staff has had to redirect that whole part of the project related to deep lot circulation. They have reworked the circulation element details including freeway off ramps with the consultants. He hoped that the corridor study authorized by Cal Trans will coincide with the City plan. He said the consultant is redoing the open space element based upon present population requirements. The General Plan is not on a lot by lot basis but is a guide- line on which to make decisions. Mr. Ketly said that following adoption of the General Plan NEW ZONING ORD. a new Zoning Ordinance wilt be initiated and zoning on present land usage will conform to the General Plan. The zoning ordinance is an implementation tool which guarantees that General Plan policies wilt be carried out. The zoning ordinance will reduce the number of zones. Performance standards will include a more precise review process. Set back standards will be related to present uses and to create a layering effect of height and guarantee tight and ventila- tion to adjacent land uses. This will benefit a11 owners. He said guidelines wilt be established for staff in order to expedite processing of development. This will allow the Council and the Commission to address more critical issues that deal with the whole community. He said this is no longer an agricultural community and we have to create an Urban Community, which is the main focus of the General Plan. The General Plan will establish catagories of Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Institutional land, with three catagories for residential: Low density 7 units to acre Medium density 17 ii ii High density 30 ii ii A development concept is to mix uses, such as residential with downtown and low density with high density. To tie the proposed new General Plan mixture of land uses and make it work requires more comprehensive restrictions in the Zoning Ordinance.

The staff is reviewing all deep lots, carefully analyzing them and a circulation plan and alter- natives. He said a Planned Unit Development Ordinance can be applied to any zone. This would maximize land develop- ment as an overlay zone and provide better utilization. A Planned Unit Development is not altogether suitable on a 60' x 400' lot, but different proposals will be made for different areas. Future streets, now subject to development by the owner, are being studied. A land development solution for deep lots must be found and this will help eliminate the public nuisance problem. 00- Mr. Cunningham discussed land use economics and issues relating to housing. He said the majority of housing in the city were built during the 50's and much was constructed prior to 1940. There are small houses on hugh lots. Our housing stock is of lower evaluation than those of surround- ing cities due to size, age and surrounding land. $3.50 a sq. ft. for R-l makes problems to build a house you can sell when you exceed the 6,000 sq. ft. area. The city needs apartments, town houses and houses of higher evaluation. Low cost housing is scattered throughout the City and a $75,000 house often sits next to a $5,000 house. The per capita income is a little less than $4 i^OO, which is about $1,000 less than surrounding cities and the county. The city needs people who exceed the $16,000 income level which is the median income of the San Gabriel Valley. Those in the $20,000 bracket would balance this and housing must be provided that they will buy or rent. Crackerbox apartments devaluate and then undesirables move in. New construction standards are necessary to guarantee that these units hold their value and demand higher rents in the future. He said the income of a citizen directly relates to the economic status of the over a11 community. Regional and community shopping facilities must be developed and solicited. The majority of citizens are employed in crafts, trades and the retail sales area. We are far below the County average for professionals administrators and those in the higher income brackets. One way to attract these people is to provide housing they wilt buy. live in and move in to the city. 00- Mr. Kelly asked for comments from the Council and the Commission as to whether the city be left as it is and push for continued tow density classification where necessary or increase the density; whether to intermix high density with single family and whether a new Zoning Ordinance will guarantee what the community should be by mixing the General Plan designations with a tighter Zoning Ordinance. Councilman King said he would favor high density with guar- anteed construction requirements. With quality control he would favor mixed usage otherwise he strongly objected. In answer to Mayor White, Mr. Kelly said the city can control design and construction with a proper ordinance. In answer to Chairman Whittey, Mr. Cunningham said land cost in adjacent cities would run from $6.00 to $12.00 per sq. ft. and Mr. Kelly said developers were interested in the city because present development standards are weak.

CUNNINGHAM LAND USE ECONOMICS AND HOUSING REQUEST FOR COUNCIL AND COMMISSION COMMENTS COMMENTS BIB] 37657-U01 1979-U02 06-U02 13-U02 CC-U02 MIN-U02 JM-U02 LI1-U03 FO9591-U03 FO9593-U03 DO9717-U03 C4-U03 MINUTES1-U03 2/4/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 JOINT-U05 MEETING-U05 CITY-U06 COUNCIL-U06 PLANNING-U06 COMMISSION-U06 1979 06 13 CC MIN JM;¢f4Ê» Adjourned Regular Meeting of the City Jun.e 13, 1979 Council of the City of Baldwin Park Page 4 Chairman Whittey said developers are requesting a reduc- COMMENTS tion in the 6,000 sq. ft. because they say, property is so expensive. Since our property price is lower he does not see why we should reduce lot size. He questioned the percentage of high income bracket requirement when the Planning Commission is told, we need apartments, etc." He asked what we can do about high quality R-l for high income people and what type of buffer will be between mixed uses. Mr. Kelly in answer to Mr. Whitley, said the City is moving toward higher income, single family, detached, and the market cycle now justifies higher cost housing. Condominiums, townhouses, etc are now very attractive to the upper income levels. We have to guarantee to provide a mixture of both kinds of housing markets. He said strong, comprehensive performance standards, open space and a review of each project will make easier transition between high and low density development. In answer to Mr. Rumney, Mr. Kelly said, planned unit developments in the proper zone can be controlled with strong ordinances. Planned development w111 be an overlay zone. Councilman Ize11 said he would like to see high class housing in R-l and not apartments; streets should be in wherever possible. He is concerned with what Baldwin Park people want not the developers who want apartments; problem lots will provide all the apartments wanted in town; when apartments are built the old houses in front should be removed. He said most developers of apartments are from outside of town and are only interested in making money. Mr. Kelty said this was the direction in which the staff was moving. Councilman Me Neill said that in some planned unit develop- ment cases he felt a zero lot live could be used. He did not agree that a mixture of R-l & R-3 added to the valuation of R-l zoned property. Apartments can be built adjacent to existing R-l. He suggested that Mr. Cunningham make a study, based on 50,000 population and establish how many apartments should be in the city. Apartments next to a $75,000 house win not attract those from the higher income brackets. He had mixed feelings concerning allowing staff to proceed without Planning Commission or City Council input. Changing apartments over to condominiums is not the answer; the area is still congested. Planned Unit Development should include green space as well as recreation area. The type of structures built should be controlled by the City and the Planning Commission and should be what we feel will be advantageous to the City. Mr. Kelty said that concerning staff decisions versus Commission and Council, upon the adoption of the zoning ordi- nance there are certain types of uses over which Council will wish to retain control and these win be established prior to adoption at the public hearing on the zoning ordinance. He proposed that the zoning ordinance be reviewed and modified yearly. Regarding condominium conversions, this is difficult to handle as state- law will not allow prohibition of the con- versions, but the percentage of conversions can be controlled. Staff is drafting a comprehensive Ordinance for review. Per- formance standards wi11 be established so the City will have control.

In answer to Mr. Smith, Mr. KeTly said set back requirements, etc will establish green areas between R-l & R-3. The City is not required to approve projects and the Ordinance can be amended if it is not functional. Mr. Burnett concurred with previous statements and said the code should be sufficiently restrictive to control development and maintenance. Mr. Whitley suggested a 18 foot height limit on all residen- tial, whether it is R-l, R-2 or R-3. He questioned whether levying fines on property not properly maintained could be upheld. Mr. Kelly said that with Community support policing and levy- ing fines would be feasible if the housing stock is good over a11, but this would be difficult to apply to this City, al- though through nuisance abatement enforcement we are making progress. In answer to Councilman King, Mr. Ketty said that a second Code Enforcement officer will aide in more comprehensively processing the nuisance program. Nuisances are being handled on a complaint basis but the City wi11 now be seeking viola- tions and it is hoped that word of mouth" will induce land owners to take it upon themselves to act before the City contacts them. Mayor White said that a good General Plan and Zoning Code DEEP LOT DISCUSSION along with a vigorous enforcement program will only be success- ful with the cooperation of the Community. He asked for dis- cussion and suggestions on deep lots, 60' x 200', 75* x 200" and 60' x 400'. The City Council and the Planning Commission concurred that flag lots be permitted on 75' x 200' deep lots with adequate fencing, proper zoning and where there is no street access. Discussion followed on 60' x 200' lots and one house versus two, and the majority favored 2 houses on one lot. Staff was to consider zero lot lines wait of house sets on lot line) to allow ingress and egress. Discussion followed on 60" x 400' lots and possible use of zero lot lines. Many indicated that where possible these lots should be combined with an adjoining lot; that regard- less of the code, some lots may have to be considered indi- vidually; that building lots should be no less than 6,000 sq, ft. and under one ownership; these should not all be high density. Mr. Ketly said he would present a report showing specific locations of these properties and staff recommendations and why. Mayor White thanked the Staff for their reports and the Planning Commission for their attendance and input.
