Council Minutes, October 19, 1971 - Page 2
present commitments did not allow for extension of the option
to Humble Oil for a longer period of time.
Ray Carter, 2508 Fairgreen, Monrovia, Acting Manager for the ser-
vice station presently at the location, supported Mrs. Lee Carter's
remarks, and urged Council consideration of the proposal because
of the improvement to the community. He stated that their ingress
was presently too close to the corner, causing back -up of traffic
across the intersection.
7?
Jerry Zernickow, 9669 Olive, owner of the motorcycle shop adjacent
to the proposed improvement, stated that in conjunction with the
improvement by Humble Oil, his business would be relocated at the
corner of Live Oak and Rosemead where they would be remodeling a
building and expanding their motorcycle business.
Darwin Shaw, 3444 Damien, owner of property housing the motorcycle
business, also spoke in favor of the proposed development for the
betterment of the City.
No one else came forward to speak.
Councilman Briggs moved to close the Public Hearing, seconded by
Councilman Merritt and unanimously carried.
Following discussion by the Council, it was moved by Councilman
Tyrell, seconded by Councilman Merritt and unanimously carried
that the public hearing be reopened for further review. City
Attorney Martin stated for the record, that the hearing was now
reopened, that all interested persons speaking on the matter were
still present and so notified.
Councilman Tyrell moved that in view of an item to be resolved,
namely the requirement of a 35' radius to be provided at the
southwest corner of Las Tunas Drive and Rosemead Boulevard, and
the costs related to the relocation of the traffic signal, street
light and accessories to be borne by the applicant, listed as
Item No. 19 of staff recommendations, which had not been acceptable
to the applicant at the Planning Commission hearing; that for the
purpose of resolving this controversy and to enable the Council to
make a field survey of the proposed service station, and to
correlate the proposed development with the development of Rosemead
Boulevard, that the hearing be continued to Tuesday, December 7,
1971, at 7:30 p.m. The motion was seconded by Councilman Briggs
and unanimously carried.
PUBLIC HEARING: 7;30 p.m. Zone Change Cases No. 71 -352 and 71 -354
Re. Appeal from Denial by Planning Commission (Ragsdale, Hinkley
and Lovell).
City Manager Koski advised that requests for change of zone in
Zone Change Cases No. 71 -352 and 71 -354, at 6404,- 06, -12 N.
Rosemead Boulevard, from R -3 to C -2, had been denied by the
Planning Commission on September 21, 1971, as not being adequate
for commercial development and not compatible with the general
plan of the City. He advised further that joint appeal by the
applicants, on the basis of the proposal to the Planning Commission,
had been received by the City Council at their regular meeting held •
on September 14, 1971, at which time Public Hearing was set by
the Council for October 19, 1971, at 7:30 p.m., and that due
notice was given for the hearing. He advised that the cases would
be heard jointly, however action could be separate.
Mayor Gilbertson declared the Public Hearing open.
Planning Director Dragicevich gave the factual report, advising
that this request involved three lots (2 of which are vacant, and
the other containing two dwelling units), with a total area of
approximately 26,000 sq. ft., and described the properties by use
of exhibits. The proposed development of the properties, it was
noted, would have no bearing on the change of zone, since conditions
as to the use of the property cannot be attached to the granting of
a zone change.
Council Minutes, October 19, 1971 - Page 3
Zoning history of the property was clarified by Mr. Dragicevich
as R -1 single family from 1930 -38; R -5 from 1938 -53; R -A from
1953 -59; C -2 from 1959 -64 when the first City zoning was adopted;
and after 1964, R -3 multiple residential. He stated that access-
ibility to the proposed parcels would be limited to northbound
traffic only, and that staff recommendations were that the parcels
as they exist today are too small and inadequate for separate commer-
cial development, however if the three lots were together, ingress
and egress from one lot to the other would alleviate some of the
problem.
Mayor Gilbertson invited those present who wished to speak for the
matter to come forward.
Clyde Hinckley, 4521 Lasheart Drive, La Canada, speaking in behalf
of the Ragsdales, owners of the properties to the south, discussed
the zoning of the property as having been C -2 prior to its present
zoning, stating that he felt the four public hearings held by the
Planning Commission prior to its present zoning, did not properly
notify owners who resided out of state, even though legally published,
and that the zone change at that time had been accomplished without
their knowledge; further that he could find no reasons as to why it
was changed. He felt that if the parcels were too small for commercial
development, they would also be too small for R -3, and considered that
the commercial development would be the most suitable use of the
property and would also bring revenue to the City. He stated that
if it was previously compatible as C -2, that it should again be
compatible as C -2.
Mr. Hinckley further stated that there seemed to be a question as
to whether a joint plan would make a difference for zoning consider-
ation, since what was going on the property was not a consideration
for zoning.
Councilman Tyrell inquired as to what would be proposed as adequate
and reasonable development and still give equal regard for the
property owners; whether it would be advisable for Mr. Hinckley to
take some time to try to resolve the issue with the other property
owner and with the assistance of staff.
Mr. Hinckley stated that he was willing to take the time, that the
appeal had to be made at this time in order to meet legal deadline,
or it would have been a closed matter for a year.
City Attorney Martin stated that recently this Council was faced with
a similar decision with regard to R -3 for two properties when each
individual piece was too small, and that the applicants were
instructed to combine for R -3 use; and that this matter tonight was
similar in that these parcels are too small, but that a consolidated
parcel might be acceptable, and inquired of Mr. Hinckley if he were
willing to examine this possibility, to-which Mr. Hinckley agreed.
Dr. Robert Lovell, 255 S. Arroyo, San Gabriel, spoke regarding his
porperty (the northerly parcel) being ready for improvement with
a fine restaurant willing to locate there. He stated that the
restaurant owners do not intend to put a bigger building on the
property than the Planning Commission will allow. He further stated
that considerable effort had been spent in 1959 in getting the
property zoned C -2, which he felt was the only reasonable use, and
that since that time it had been rezoned to R -3. Upon inquiry, he
stated that he too would be agreeable to considering joint use of
the properties.
Angela Wong, 1309 Colorado, Pasadena, described the kind of restaurant
planned for the location (Dr. Lovell's property). It was noted that
parking requirements for a restaurant would be based on gross floor
area.
Frank Zrna, 9021 Emperor, owner of adjacent R -3 property, stated that
C -2 seemed to be the most logical zoning and that it should not have
been changed from that zoning in the first place.
No one else wished to speak in favor of the matter.
Coync i 1 M.i n tes` October- .19, -1971; - Page 4...
Mayor Gilbertson •invited those who wished to speak against the
matter to come forward.
Don Bauman, 6438 Sultana, stated that he was opposed to strip
zoning as:proposed, and that he felt inadequate parking would
result in inconvenience to residents.
Donald Buchanan, 9018 Emperor, stated he was opposed to the
commercial development, and felt that the Planning Commission
should be upheld in their decision.
Mary Bindernaqel, 6411 Sultana, stated that businesses in the
area are already having a rough time and that as a resident she
was opposed to any more business coming in.
Arthur Oliver, also a resident in the area, was opposed to an
additional business in the area.
No one else came forward to speak against the matter.
Mrs. Letha Kent, 6406 Rosemead, came forward to speak in behalf
of the applicant, stating that the property was not suitable
for residential use.
Mr. Hinckley spoke again re. the traffic problem, advising that
as long as there are people, whether for residential or commercial
development, there are traffic problems involved.
Councilman Tyrell moved to continue the public hearing
to December 7, 1971, at 7:30 p.m. seconded by Councilman Merrit
Councilman Merritt stated that he felt the area was too small
for R -3, but that a plan might be developed to make the area
acceptable for C -2 zoning. He suggested that by knowing in
advance what is going to be on the property, that some of the
problems of C -1 or C -2 use could be avoided.
Mayor Gilbertson stated that he was not in favor of commercial
development and that this would be strip zoning. He stated
that if it was too small for R -3, it was also too small for C -2
There being no opposition to the motion to continue the public
hearing to December 7, 1971, it carried unanimously.
