AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1969
a memo was received from the Planning Director, in which
he stated that the General Plan designates the area as
agricultural, thus avoiding the question of how this proper-
ty should be developed; the Planning Commission reviewed
the history of the property, namely, the two subdivision
maps which were filed for single-family residences, the many
proposed apartment house plans, and mobile home park plans,
which have been proposed but never built. It was the con-
clusion of the Planning Commission that the property south
of the railroad tracks was unique and not good residential
land. In the memo, the Planning Director also stated that
a letter was sent to the Planning Commission by Mr. R.
Stanton Avery, Chairman of the Board of Avery Products,
which read, in part, that if Avery Products does not develop
the property and decides to sell, they will notify the Plan-
ning Commission 90 days prior to any such contemplated sale;
during this period, the Commission could recommend a zone
change back to residential.
The City Clerk further reported he had received 12 letters
in favor of the zone change; plus a petition containing 924
signatures and one containing 18 signatures, all in favor.
He also received 2 letters in opposition, plus a petition
containing 16 signatures, and one containing 4 signatures,
all in opposition.

Mr. R. Stanton Avery, 430 Laguna Road, Pasadena, Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Avery Products Corp.,
appeared before Council in support of their request for zone
change, and explained that their present facilities have become
greatly overtaxed and they have been forced to lease off-site
facilities, and that the Azusa location is ideally suited for
their type of operation.
Mr. Richard J. Pearson, 808 Milmada Drive, La Canada, appeared
before Council, and exhibited the various types of self-
adhesive labels the company manufactures, andshowed render-
ings of the proposed buildings and sketches of the planned
landscaping with potential campus -like atmosphere. He stated
their planning is a two-stage plan: during 1969 they plan
to build a 50,000 square foot office building, and the second
stage would be to construct in 1970-71 a light -manufacturing
plant, up to 250,000 square feet, without the problems of
noise, odors or uncleanliness. They plan to landscape
around the entire perimeter with trees and shrubs; have
decorative walls; building exterior with brick veneer in
front; and a 135 -ft. setback, which is more than required,
to provide adequate parking for customers, with shipping and
receiving in the rear; He further added that the location
was the result of a lengthy search for a prestige site to
attract scientific and professional talent for which they must
successfully compete;' that the assessed valuation for tax
purposes would be 8j million dollarsno additional load on
the schools; sales tax in excess of 16,000 annually; approx-
imately 575 employees, many of whom would shop in Azusa, plus
being a source of employment for both unskilled and skilled
persons, as the business in growing at the rate of 15% to
20% per year. • •
Mr. Don H. McKellar, Post Office Box "U", Azu'sa, addressed
Council in favor of the zone change, as a representative of
Azusa Foot -Hill Citrus Co., who are the owners of adjacent
property, namely, the Drive -In Theatre and also land to the
south. He stated that 10 years ago, before the Drive -In
Theatre was built, they surveyed the area in question, and
the report showed that an industrial park would be the best
and highest use of the land and that residential use was
AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1969 Page 3
hazardous due to the Railroad and commercial use. They
would like to see this development go in, as it will bring in
business, which is important to the economic aspects of the
City.
Mrs. Mary G. Griffith, 702 West 4th Street, addressed
' Council in favor of the zone change, stating she feels
very strongly about Avery Products moving into the City,
and recommends the requested zone change rather than residen-
tial zoning.
Miss Gayle Avakian, 628 East Camino Real, Arcadia, appeared
before Council in opposition to the zone change, stating
she is a part-owner of property due south of the area in-
volved. She said she agrees to Avery Products coming to
Azusa, but not at this location, which should be considered
for a park or a family residential area. She further stated
that the Master Plan should not be disregarded and that the
site should not be spot -zoned, and that Avery Products could
add to the problem of the heavy traffic already existing on
Foothill Blvd because of the college.
Mr. William R. Mayes, attorney with offices at 240 West
Foothill Blvd., appeared before Council as a representative
of Mabelle,S. Anderson of'18220 East Foothill Blvd., which
is across the street from the proposed development. He
stated his client is opposed to the zone change and prefers
residential to industrial development on the site because of
the detriment to the other residents of the area. Futher,
that an additional traffic burden would be placed upon the
area with the flow of trucks in and out. He asked that the
' application for zone change be denied.
Mrs. Madelyn E. Tyck of Tyck's Jewelry Store addressed
Council in opposition to the zone change and asked Council
to stand behind the Master Plan. She feels that multiple
dwellings should be built in this area.
Mrs. Camilla Williams, 1107 North San Gabriel Avenue, and
Chairman of the Park and Recreation Commission, appeared
before Council in opposition to the zone change and stated
she feels there has been solicitation of favorable petition
signatures throughout the City by non-residents. She fur-
ther stated that the Master Plan should be considered be-
cause spot zoning is not good for any City.
Mr. Don Scherneck, 444 North Grand Avenue, Glendora, owner
of property at 963-969 West 5th Street (Azusa Towel Supply
Co.), appeared before Council in favor of the change in zone.
He stated that this is the age of the Foothill Freeway and,
although there is a Master Plan, you have to change with the
times.
,Mr. Keith Molsberry, 532 West Foothill Blvd., addressed
Council'in favor of the zone change, stating another thing
' to be considered is the need for more employment in Azusa
and the many young people who need jobs. As to spot zoning,
Mr. Molsberry stated the Planning Commission has been in
favor of this development; therefore, they should be recog-
nized and their recommendations followed.
Mr. 0. John Conforti, 321 South Enid Avenue, and member of
the Planning Commission, appeared before Council in favor
of the zone change and gave his own personal opinion that
homes will never be built in the area under consideration.
Mrs. Donna Cahill, 142 North Calvados Avenue, appeared be-
fore Council in favor of the zone change, stating she obtained
about 130 of the signatures on the petition from people she
knew in Azusa.

of the fact that the members spend many hours of time and
effort to establish elibility lists and have seen occasions
when top candidates have been lost from the time the list
was certified until an appointment is made, and that speedier
action on the part of Council and the Department Head in-
volved could give the City more outstanding employees which
are now being lost.
