UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. PUBLIC HEARING 7:30 P.M. - APPEAL OF A DECISION BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVING A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A CHURCH IN AN R -3 ZONE - ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH (5561 Sultana Avenue) City Manager Koski presented background information stating on March 13, 1984, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit for the First Assembly of God Church to renovate and re -use an exist- ing church facility in an R -3 Zone.. The Planning Commission found the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon the use, enjoyment or valuation of adjacent property or upon public welfare since the use will upgrade the property by providing maintenance. The appel -.. lants felt that a church is not an appropriate land use for R -3 zoned property and that the facilities on -site are inadequate. Planning Director Shaw presented a videotape of the buildings and grounds in their present condition. Mayor Swain declared the public hearing open and invited anyone wish- ing to speak to come forward. Reverend Phillip Derry, Pastor of First Assembly of God Church, stated they are presently using the Masonic Temple for their services; they have a large number of church members who will donate their time in upgrading the church; presently they have two buses transporting ap- proximately 120 children and parents to the Sunday services and their all day Sunday activities; there is a separate service geared for the children and for adults; and other member churches have offered their financial aid. Linda Farr, 5758 Kauffman, stated Temple City has never had a First Assembly of God Church and she was glad to have one now. Council Minutes, Apirl 17, 1984 - Page 5 Kenneth Compton, 10684 Arrowood, stated he would like to see a church of this denomination established in Temple City since there are a number of families in the couuuunity of that faith. Tom Breazeal, 9462 Daines, made the impartial comment that his wife and mother -in -law were members of the church that previously occupied this site and at lectures on Sunday afternoon they would have between 150 to 200 in attendance and never had an on -site parking problem. Charles Rosencrans, 4905 Pioneer Boulevard, Whittier, Assistant Pastor, stated in addition to the Sunday service, they have children that go to the Convalescent Homes and wheel patients to a church service and they were getting the children off the street. Earl Hallinan, 5552 Sultana, stated he was not opposed to churches but feels Sultana is already used as a thoroughfare and the excess traffic and all day church services were disturbing and additionally the streets were not made to tolerate the weight of the heavy buses. Frank Schumann, 5611 -A Sultana, stated when the site was occupied by the Christian Science Church, the grounds were beautifully main- tained and since no one has been there, it has become an overgrown fire hazard. Hal Kleeworth, 5617 -B Sultana, stated that Sultana, which is approxi- mately 90% apartment houses and condos, is a long street with no stops and therefore heavily traveled and the addition of another 100 people on Sunday would be unreasonable. Kenny McCullar, 1628 Huntington Drive, South Pasadena, purchased property on Sultana as an investment; disagreed with the Planning Commission in that it would not have an adverse effect on the value of surrounding properties; the condition of the property is a public nuisance; and felt that granting a conditional use permit is not the way to solve the problem. Peter Rorbel, 5549 Sultana, echoed the objections of his neighbors regarding the noise and heavy traffic and felt there would be no playground area for the children. Sharon Peak, 5564 Sultana., stated fire destroyed her home a year ago and was greatly concerned that the overgrowth of weeds and grass was a fire hazard. Hugh Smith, representing the Foothill Apartment Association, was con- cerned about the growing shortage of multiple family land in the San Gabriel'Valley and their association has a commitment to provide reasonable shelter housing at rates people can afford. Steven Bracci, 5611 Sultana, did not feel the other churches in the community were in such close proximity to neighboring residences. There being no one else that came forward to speak, Councilman Gillanders moved to close public hearing, seconded by Councilman Atkins, and unanimously carried. Councilman Tyrell had no argument with the religious concept, but felt the church was trying to make the improvements on a limited budget and felt he would like a better cost assessment of what was involved in the rehabilitation of the building. He felt a contin- uance would be in order to determine what the financial requirements are going to be and also to give the church an opportunity to take stock of their resources before granting the permit. Councilman Gillanders stated most churches in Temple City are sur- rounded by residences and even churches that are larger such as St. Lykes have a larger number of children in and around school property five days a week in addition to Sundays; that a church was there when a number of people moved in and they moved in anyway; but would be in favor of a continuance to determine the true conditions of the buildings, their safety, and an approximate cost analysis. Council Minutes, April 17, 1984 - "Page 6 !. Councilman Dennis felt that since the Planning Commission approved the specific requirements that would be needed to bring the property up to building code, it is not up to the Council to determine whether the church can meet these requirements, but added that he would like some limitation as far as the number of occupants in the church at one time. Councilman Atkins agreed that the conditions were spelled out in the CUP rather completely although we may want to modify one or two; felt the church could co -exist in a residential neighborhood as do many others that are larger and open seven days a week; and would be in favor of the CUP. Mayor Swain also felt the conditions as set forth by the Planning Com- mission are explicit but would ask that time limits be established for upgrading of the property concerning the aesthics of the neighbor- hood. Churches do take time to grow and did not think Council should deny them the opportunity to start because they may not have adequate funds. All the Councilmembers concurred that the overgrowth should be delt with in a timely manner; instructed staff to implement the necessary steps for a possible property nuisance; and felt a condition should be added tothe CUP concerning proper maintenance. Councilman Dennis movedrto approve .the,a:Conditional Use Permit and in addition to the requirements outlined by the Planning Commission added Condition 14 that the occupancy load shall not exceed 200 persons; and Condition 15 that the vacant areas be landscaped with grass including an automatically timed irrigation system, seconded by Councilman Atkins and carried on a roll call vote: ROLL CALL: AYES: Councilmen - Atkins, Dennis, Gillanders, Swain NOES: Councilmen - Tyrell B. PUBLIC HEARING 7:30 P. M. - (2nd reading) PROPOSED. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 82 -3 OF THE ELECTRICAL CODE RE: RADIO CONTROLLED RELAYS ON PRIVATELY OWNED AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT City Manager Koski presented background information stating at their last meeting, Council set public hearing on the ordinance amending Section 82 -3 of the Electrical Code which allows radio controlled relay equipment to be installed on a voluntary basis by Southern California Edison. Company without a permit. It would allow the utility company to disconnect appliances as necessary during peak periods of electrical demand. At the request of Council, Edison has provided additional information relative to the responsibility of liability of the program and its maintenance. Eileen McClure, representative of Southern California Edison, re- sponding to Council inquiries, stated SCE would assume liability for the relays as the responsibility would be between the property owner and SCE; Electrical Systems Testing was selected as the licensed contractor after a thorough screen process; the relays would be used primarily on commercial buildings; the customer could have the device removed at approximately $30 charge along with losing their discount; and in the initial interview with the customer they would be informed of all facets of the program including discount and cost removal. Mayor Swain declared the public hearing open and invited anyone wish- ing to speak to come forward. There being no one to come forward, Councilman Gillanders moved to close public hearing, seconded by Councilman Atkins and unanimously carried. Councilman Atkins moved to certify the Negative Declaration of En- vironmental Impact, waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 84- 547 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY AMEND- ING SECTION 82 -3 OF THE ELECTRICAL CODE RELATING_TO RADIO CONTROLLED RELAYS ON PRIVATELY OWNED AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT INSTALLED BY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, seconded by Councilman Gillanders and unanimously carried. Council Minutes, April 17, 1984 - Page 7 8. NEW BUSINESS: A. APPEAL OF TRAFFIC COMMISSION DENIAL OF OVERNIGHT PARKING PERMIT PAUL R. PINSAK, 9509 FLAHERTY STREET City Manager Koski presented background information stating the Traffic Commission denied applicant an overnight parking permit on the basis that the number of vehicles owned by members of the house- hold did not exceed the number of available parking spaces. The applicant contends that two cars parked in.the garage, side by side, would preclude the occupant from getting out of the vehicle. Paul R. Pinsak, 9509 Flaherty Street, stated his garage width is only 16'11" which does not allow sufficient space to park two cars and still allow the driver to properly exit the vehicle and if parked in the driveway, the car would hang in the street. Councilman Atkins moved to grant applicant an overnight parking per- mit for the pickup truck, seconded by Councilman Dennis and unani- mously carried. B. RECOMMENDATION FROM TRAFFIC COMMISSION - MEETING OF APRIL 4, 1984 REQUEST FROM TEMPLE CITY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT MARCHING BAND PRACTICE ON TRELAWNEY AVENUE City Manager Koski stated that Temple City High School has again re- quested a permit to allow the high school marching band to practice from 8:0011.M. to 9:00 A.M. Mondays through Fridays from September to Christmas vacation in December and during the same hour prior to the Camellia parade in February on Trelawney Avenue. The Traffic Commission recommended granting the permit subject to the required Certificate of Insurance and proper barricading by a 2 to 1 vote. The one dissenting Commission vote was on the basis that differences should be resolved by the School withthe residents before the permit is granted. Pursuant t� discussion Councilman Tyrell had with school officials, the school district changed their request from Trelawney Avenue to Camino Real. . Councilman Tyrell moved to approve the request for a permit for the Temple City High School Marching Band to conduct their practice on Camino Real subject to the required certificate of insurance and the proper barricading, seconded by Councilman Atkins, and unanimously carried. 9. COMMUNICATIONS: None. 10. TIME FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK: No one came forward to speak.

REQUEST TO USE CITY HALL AS CHECK -IN CENTER - JUNE 5 PRIMARY 4,,ari Council Minutes, April 17, 1984 - Page 8 Councilman Gillanders moved to approve the request from Registrar - Recorder's office to use the City Hall facilities as a check -in center for the Primary Election on June 5 subject to an appropriate wage rate, seconded by Councilman Atkins and unanimously carried. B. CALIFORNIA CONTRACT CITIES SEMINAR - PALM SPRINGS, MAY 17 -20, Councilman Tyrell moved to authorize registration and conference expenses for City Officials attending the 25th Annual Municipal Seminar, seconded by Councilman Atkins and unanimously carried. C. LIVE OAK PARK IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED DESIGN CHANGE City Manager Koski stated once the project was under way, it was apparent that the prior gate was inadequate for proper access into the patio. The new design includes crash bars and provides the opportunity to swing back both gates to allow for a full 8' opening which is needed for special community and department activities. Councilman Atkins moved to authorize the design changes for the Northeast patio entry as outlined in staff memo of April 17, 1984, and amend the adopted budget in the amount of $4,356.50 to accom- plish the work, seconded by Councilman Tyrell and unanimously carried. D. ILLUMINATED STREET NAME SIGNS SANTA ANITA AVENUE AT FREER STREET City Manager Koski stated the County is proposing installation of illuminated street name signs on Santa Anita Avenue at Freer Street at no expense to the City. While the work is in process, they need jurisdiction of the street. Councilman Atkins moved to adopt Resolution No. 84 -2260 A.RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY, CALIFORNIA,•CONSENT- ING TO ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PORTION OF THE INTERSECTION OF SANTA ANITA AVENUE AT FREER STREET WITHIN SAID CITY AS A PART OF THE SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS OF THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, seconded by Councilman Gillanders and unanimously carried. E. CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION Councilman Dennis requested Council concurrence for a Certificate of Recognition to John Price, District Superintendent, El Monte School District, who is retiring after 35 years with the School District. Council concurred. F. POLITICAL SIGNS Councilman Dennis requested Council take a stand regarding political signs in future elections. Either the placing of signs on the utility poles violates a law and any person violating the law should be pros- ecuted, or it is made fair so that everyone has the same opportunity to display the signs. Councilman Gillanders stated if Council chooses to prosecute then all violators should be included, including the two from El Monte who posted signs in Temple City. Responding to Council inquiry City Attorney Martin stated we are dealing with three difference Code Sections: 1) the PUC regulation which Edison has the authority to enforce if they wish, since it is private. property; 2) the Penal Code Section which is rather doubtful because it relates to commercial rather than first amendment signs, and; 3) the City's own regulations which does not address the ques- tion. If the Ordinance was amended to control this at the present time, there is no guarantee that the City's own local regulation would ultimately be declared valid since a Supreme Court decision is pending. Therefore, at the present time, the only valid regula- tion is from the PUC and that would be up to Edison to enforce. Council Minutes, April 17, 1984 - Page 9 Robert Pitts stated it was his understanding that no FPPC complaint had been filed; that when notification was given to him by Edison, he personally took the signs off within two days. He stated further he had no request from the City asking removal of the signs. Councilman Tyrell referred to staff memo wherein it was noted that the City Clerk's office notified Robert Pitts and Dixie Mc Intee that the posting of signs on utility poles was in violation of the PUC general rule. Staff was instructed to forward the documentation of all known violators to Southern California Edison for their information and disposition. 13 ADJOURNMENT: On motion by Councilman Atkins, seconded by Councilman Gillanders, meeting adjourned at 10:10 p.m. Next regular meeting of the City Council will be held Tuesday, May 1, 1984, 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the City Hall.
