8. PUBLIC HEARING: 7:30 p.m. AMENDMENT TO TEMPLE CITY ZONING CODE RELATING
TO NUMBER OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS IN .R -ZONES
City Manager Koski presented background information, stating the
Planning Commission, at their regular meeting held January 10, 1978,
adopted a resolution recommending a limitation on household pets
in R -1 zones containing two or more dwelling units; two dwelling
units to be allowed two household pets, with three or more dwellings
one pet per dwelling unit. The Planning Commission further certified
that the Negative Declaration was prepared in with the
Environmental Quality Act of 1970 as amended. The proposed amendment
was initiated by a property owner who bought an R -3 zoned property
with a single- family residence, and who had three dogs. No action
was taken by the Planning Commission to increase the number of house-
hold pets on multiple residential lots containing a single- family
residential use. On May 16, 1978, City Council set public hearing,
having had a joint study session with the Planning Commission on
May 15, 1978.
Councilman Gillanders stated as proposed, the change in ordinance
would not change the current allowable number of pets on R -3 pro-
perty regardless of use, and the Planning Commission resolution does
not address the problem as originally initiated.
Planning Director Dragicevich stated the public .hearing before the
Planning Commission included all zones.
Councilman Atkins advised the Planning Commission considered all
zones and opted to recommend a change for R -1 zone only.
Councilman Dennis moved to include the Planning Commission minutes I/
as a part of the public record, seconded by Councilman Atkins and
carried.
Mayor Tyrell declared the public hearing open and invited anyone
wishing to speak to come forward.
Mary Lou Swain, 5758 Agnes Avenue, stated both sides of this issue
were heard at great length by the Planning Commission, the requests
for change were considered and the decision was made not to change
the zoning code limitations for R -2, R -3 and R -4 property because
Council Minutes, June 20, 1978 - Page 3
of the possibility of more residents and an increase in dogs.
It was the Planning Commission decision not to change the code
for all zones. Mrs. Swain stated R -3 and R -4 should be left as
it is, that she is in favor of further restrictions in R -1.
Elizabeth Shelby, 4839 Agnes, requested a clarification of the
differences in R zones. City Attorney Martin reviewed the limi-
tations on all R -zoned property.
Carla Damrill, 5957 Primrose Avenue, stated she is in favor of
of the original amendment as requested by property owners; that
she has two animals on R -3 property and was told as long as her
neighbors did not complain she was not in violation. Prior to
the Planning Commission hearing, she obtained 200 signatures on
a petition in mixed zones and 90% of the people she talked with
were not aware of the code. She feels the number of animals
allowed should be based on land use and not the zone.
Hal Gaffrey, 5822 Rosemead Boulevard, stated he is the owner of
an R -4 property, has two dogs and dared anyone to take one away.
Control of animals, in his opinion, should be on a nuisance basis.
He does not feel residents should be told how many pets they can
have unless there is a nuisance problem.
Elmer Milch, 6155 Kauffman Avenue, stated in his opinion pets are
a luxury and he thinks a solution would be to tax residents on the
number of pets they have on an excalating scale.
Councilman Gillanders stated people could pay a tax and still main-
tain animals in a manner to harrass their neighbors; perhaps more
severe fines for animals at large would be the answer.
Don Middlebrough, 9053 Olive, stated he does not feel a dog is a
luxury; that dogs provide security for many households. He feels
if there is one house on an R -3 lot, there should be one animal.
Ralph Harpster, 5466 Sultana, felt the limitation should not be
on licensed animals only, and requested a definition of pets.
Councilman Atkins read the definition of household pets from the
Zoning Code.
Rosemary. Cabrera, 6023 Primrose, stated when she moved into Temple
City she called City Hall and inquired how many pets were allowed
and no one mentioned zoning; when she moved in neighbors told her
only one dog was allowed. She stated she lives in a single house
on a 50 x 185 R -3 lot and can have only one dog; there is an apart-
ment next door with five units and they can have five dogs. Miss
Cabrera spoke to the complaint filed by the District Attorney against
her; she feels it is very unfair. Her dogs got out one time and the
problem has been taken care of.
Bill Hart, Animal Control'Officer, spoke to the complaint against
Miss Cabrera at Council's request. He advised he had received a
complaint regarding a dog bite; when he responded to the call three
dogs were running at large; one was confined, one was missing and
Miss Cabrera arrived prior to impounding the third; citation under
the leash law was issued for one dog. Following that incident, he .
received a call whether Miss Cabrera could maintain three dogs on
the property, notice was issued to remove two of the dogs. An
appeal was made and proceedings were continued pending the outcome
of Planning Commission hearing and possible change in the ordinance.
Mr. Hart stated enforcement is difficult under the present code.
In answer to question from Councilman Gillanders whether the basic
problem is a matter of violation of the leash law and the inability .
to: control animals, rather than the number of animals allowed on any
given lot, Mr. Hart stated he does'nt feel the number of animals
allowed in any particular zone will take care of the problem; there
will still be the problem of dogs getting out; however, if the
number of pets allowed reduces the number of dogs it would reduce
the number of dogs loose on the street.
Council Minutes, June 20, 1978 - Page 4
Jack Savell, 5451 Sultana, stated that land use should be the main
consideration for animal regulation; whether its one or three dogs
does not matter, care of the dog is important.
Richard Orcutt, 9046 Rancho Real, felt the issue is not the zone or
the number of residents on the property; care of the animals is
the important issue and if people don't take proper care the animals
should be taken away from them. He sees no rational reason three
pets can be allowed on R -1 with exactly the same units on it as an
R -3 property which allows only one.
There being no one else wishing to speak to the matter, Councilman
Dennis moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman
Merritt and carried.
Councilman Atkins moved to certify the Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact, seconded by Councilman Merritt and carried.
Councilman Atkins stated at this point he would be inclined to
adopt an ordinance amending the Zoning Code as recommended by the
Planning Commission relating to R -1 lots and refer the matter back
to the Commission for their review regarding other R zoned property
to be consistent with land use.
Councilman Gillanders stated he would prefer to settle this issue
now; that he feels R -1 property with one house should be limited
to three animals; R -1 with more than one house, two per house;
R -2, R -3 and R -4 with one house should be treated the same as R -1
with one house; with a limit of three animals per property.
Councilman Merritt stated zoning should not control the number of
animals, he would like to see the number allowed the same regardless
of zone, three household pets for any zone would be a proper
restriction.
Councilman Dennis stated he concurred with Planning Commission recom-
mendation regarding R -1 multiple dwellings by reducing the number of
pet allowed as units increase; the reverse should apply in the case
of multiple dwelling zones, as the number of units decrease the
number of animals increase. He would' favor concurring with Planning
Commission recommendation regarding R -1 property and refer back to
the Commission to review the code,as it relates to'R -2, R -3 and R -4.
Mayor Tyrell felt the City Attorney should draft an ordinance to
the Council's desires and ask the Planning Commission to review the
ordinance prior'to second reading rather than go through another
public hearing.
City Attorney Martin introduced Ordinance No. 78 -466 AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY AMENDING SECTIONS 9331,.
9350, AND'9360 OF THE TEMPLE CITY ZONING CODE. AS THEY RELATE TO
DOMESTIC ANIMALS for first reading by title only. Councilman
Gillanders moved to waive further reading, seconded by Councilman
Atkins and carried.
9. PUBLIC HEARING: 7:30 p.m. STREET IMPROVEMENTS.- CURB, GUTTER AND
DRIVEWAY APPROACHES (Pursuant to Chapter, 27) - SULTANA AVENUE,
BROADWAY. TO SOUTHERLY TERMINUS
City Manager Koski presented background information, stating petitions
for improvements were circulated and returned to the City with less
than a total of 60% of the front footage of the entire project limits
the percentages were Broadway to Rancho Real, 48 %; Rancho Real to
Olive, 26 %; and Olive to southerly terminus, 80 %. In staff's follow
up contact with property owners, it was learned the primary objection
of those opposed was monetary considerations due to fixed incomes;
it is estimated the cost for the project will be $78,224, with pro-
perty owners share $15,578; the proposed project has not been funded
in the 1978 -79 budget and should the improvements be authorized, an
amendment to the budget would be required. The project comes under a
Categorical Exemption as defined under the Environmental Quality Act
of 1970 as amended.
Mayor Tyrell declared the public hearing open and invited anyone
wishing to speak to come forward.
Council Minutes, June 20, 1978 - Page 5
Elaine Kelty, 9056 Rancho Real, stated the letter sent to the
property owners misrepresented the facts; that she likes the street
just the way it is, she -does not want 'any place for parking, the
drainage is good.
Jack Savell, 5451 Sultana, stated he is located at the corner of
Rancho Real and Sultana, he has made 15 complaints to the Sheriff
regarding protection for the property and his children and nothing
has been done to date; he met with the City Manager about the
continuous car racing, midnight parties. What the residents need
in that area is more patrol and not curbs and gutter and requested
Council do something about the problem.
In answer to question from Council, Lt. Wallace advised he was
not familiar with the problem Mr. Savell was referring to.
Mr. Savell stated he had given license numbers to the Sheriff and
he has the names of the officers at home.
Don Middlebrough, 9053 Olive, stated that curbs will not help the
situation there; that widening the street will increase drag races.
He state he personally could not afford the improvements.
Richard Orcutt, 9046 Rancho Real, stated in his opinion curbs and
gutter are not needed in that area; the storm drain diverts the
runoff and there is no drainage problem; curbs and gutter improve-
ment will increase traffic hazard; he feels that within a few years
large developers will be coming in and these curbs and gutter will
no longer be useful. Mr. Orcutt also stated he has the impression
the City is talking about the project area as one and as he under-
stands it, they should be talking about three separate areas.
City Manager Koski explained that if the City received one petition
they will set the matter for public hearing in order to ascertain
the feelings of the residents; that this project has been broken
down into three separate areas with percentages given for each;
that the Council can overrule and proceed if there is less than
60% signatures.
Jacqueline Sanders, 9055 Rancho Real, stated she moved from Temple
City because she could not park in the street and that she is the
owner of the property about which Council received complaints
earlier, however, she knew nothing about the problems and was sorry
for any inconvenience to the neighbors. She is against curb and
gutter, because if they are installed here driveway will be too
short to park a car on it.
Ralph Harpster, 5466 Sultana, stated he does not see any benefit
from curb and gutter and is opposed to the project.
Barbara. Gay, 9064 Olive, stated she does not see a need for curb
and gutter; her property is in escrow at the present time and this
would add to the new owner's cost of the property.
There being no one else to come forward, Councilman Dennis moved
to close public hearing, seconded by Councilman Gillanders and
carried.
Councilman Gillanders stated that 64% of the residents are opposed
to the curb and gutter based on the entire area and he sees no
reason for Council to consider it further.
Councilman Atkins stated it is clear the people,do not want curb
and gutter; that if the percentage was half and half he might be
in favor of it, however, he would not approve it at this time.
Councilman Merritt stated with curb and gutter there is a certain
amount of protection to keeping cars from driving onto front yards.
Councilman Dennis moved to terminate proceedings, seconded by
Councilman Atkins and carried.

TO ABATEMENT OF MORAL PUBLIC NUISANCES LAW

circulated by organization known as Decency in the Environment Today
to qualify for the November statewide ballot, on motion by Councilman
Atkins, seconded by Councilman Dennis, Council received and filed
the proposed resolution supporting same, on the basis the courts have
already provided a tool to prosecute moral nuisances.
Mayor Tyrell directed Council's attention to the magazines being
sold at the Temple City Newstand since new owners have taken over,
being magazines which are anti -law enforcement in connection with
narcotics. Council instructed City Attorney to pursue abatement
of this nuisance.
11. UNIFORM FIRE CODE - 1978 EDITION
City Manager Koski advised that this matter, having been referred
to the Planning Commission for their review, was discussed by the
Planning Commission at their regular meeting held June 13, 1978,
and felt this is a highly technical area and not in their purvue,
and that they are not sufficiently knowledgeable to make a qualified
statement on these amendments.
City Attorney Martin advised the proposed ordinance has been prepared
to retain that section of the Municipal Code relating to fireworks.
Mr. Martin introduced Ordinance No. 78 -465 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
OF TEMPLE CITY AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 71 -330 BY ADOPTING ORDINANCE

reading by title only. Councilman Atkins moved to waive further
reading, seconded by Councilman Gillanders and carried.

12. RECOMMENDATION FROM TRAFFIC COMMISSION - Meeting of June 7, 1978
TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SURVEYS RE: SECTION 40802, VEHICLE CODE
City Manager Koski presented background information, stating pursuan III
to Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code, an engineering and
traffic survey must be taken every five years where enforcement of
speed limits involves the use of radar. The purpose of the code is
to produce realistic speed limits which are consistent with the
traffic and are reasonable and safe. Data taken on certain streets
were presented to the Traffic Commission by the Traffic Engineer;
Traffic Commission concurred with the findings and recommends approval
by City Council as set forth in memo dated, June 8, 1978 and on file
in the City Clerk's office.
Traffic Engineer Envall stated his recommendations are based on
accident statistics, existing speed, changes in condition of the
streets; all of these factors are considered in his recommendation
for increase or decrease of speeds.
In answer to questions from Council, Mr. Envall stated he recommends
an increase from 30 to 35 mph on Muscatel from Las Tunas Drive to
Longden because of the recent upgrading of the street; an increase
from 30 to 35 mph on Live Oak Avenue from Encinita to Baldwin Avenue
there being sufficient stop signs to slow traffic down; Olive Street
from Rosemead to El Monte Avenue, increase from 30 to 35 mph; El
Monte Avenue, Lower Azusa Road to Live Oak Avenue, increase from
35 to 40 mph; and Lower Azusa Road from Temple City Boulevard to
Glickman Avenue, which is a prudent speed between those limits and
traffic is broken at Arden Drive because it is a signalized inter-
section.
Councilman Merritt moved to approve the speed limits as recommended,
seconded by Councilman Atkins and carried.

respect to an additional use to be permitted in the C -2 classifi-
cation. A request was submitted to establish and operate a
distribution center for plastics ware at 5841 Rowland Avenue, a

ever it is closely related to newspaper distributors which are
allowed in the C -2 zone; the proposed use is classified by the Board
of Equalization as a retail operation for sales tax purposes; eight
