AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1971 Page 2
A memo was received from the Planning Commission, which stated
that the petition for change of zone, which was filed on 1/7/71,
requested a change from C-3 to R-3. If densities are not designated
by a "letter" ("a", "b" or "c"), R-3 is considered to be R -3c,
according to the Municipal Code. However, a letter from Mr. Glenn
Soelberg, to the Planning Commission, dated 1/27/71, stated the
density requested is R -3b. The development as presented to the
Planning Commission has a total of 106 units for a density of
1 unit per 1800 square feet of land (between R -3c and R -3b).
The memo further stated that the requested change is for the
southerly 310 feet, with the northerl" 300 feet remaining in
the C-3 zone. The change as requested would act as a buffer
between this remaining commercial and the single-family resident-
ial to the south. The General Plan makes use of this type of
buffer to the east, but not at this parcel, which could be
intentional or simply an oversight. Since R -3b would permit
a total of 128 units, and R -3a would reduce this to 96, it is
the recommendation of the Planning Commission that, if applicant
is agreeable to R -3a zoning, this request be approved, with
the Associate Planning Director to include the following in
the review of the Precise Plan:
1. All applicable development standards of the Azusa
Municipal Code be met.
2. All garage parking spaces, as required by Section
9230.51(b)2 of the Municipal Code, be assigned
to a specific unit and located within 150 -feet
walking distance of the unit to which assigned.
3. A minimum of one open guest parking space be
provided for each four units. Said guest park-
ing shall not be located over 150 -feet walking
' distance from the units served and shall clearly
be marked as "guest" or "visitor" parking.
4. Adequate trash storage shall be provided and
conveniently located through the entire develop-
ment, and shall be screened from view.
5. All utilities shall be placed underground.
Glenn B. Soelberg, 2030 Lorain Road, San Marino, husband of the
applicant, appeared before Council and gave a resume of the
history of this request. HF informed Council that he would
accept the R -3a zoning for the purpose of constructing 96
apartment units. In response to the five items of protest, it
was his feeling thattraffic would be increased regardless of
the use of the property. He further felt that the streets in
the area which are already closed would add to the traffic
problem by limiting the routes of circulation. He further
felt that the school does have sufficient reserve to accept
the reasonable number of children to be expected from a 96 -
unit apartment complex. The apartments would rent in the
general area of $165 to $220 per month.
Mr. E. J. Wachter of J. H. Hedrick & Co., 900 S.San Gabriel Blvd.,
San Gabriel, addressed Council and explained that it would not
be possible at this time to give a definite rental amount,
except that it would be a function of the costs of land, con-
struction, and other miscellaneous items. In response to
questions from Council, he stated that his company does not
plan to participate in a rent supplement program, but would
consider F.H.A. backing for a loan on the property.
Kenneth McCutcheon, 6256 Calera Avenue, appeared before Council
in opposition to the granting of the zone change, and re -directed
Council's attention to the five reasons contained in the
petition.
AZUSA AUDITORIUM AZUSA, CALIFORNIA MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1971 Page 3
Dave Simmerman, 6250 Hanlin, appeared before Council and
stated that, as a home owner in the area, he wants the dead-
end streets to exist as they are now. It is his feeling
that R-3 zoning would generate more traffic than C-2 or C-3.
He further felt that people patronizing businesses in a C-2
and C-3 zone would not be aware of the through residential
streets and would use Alosta and Citrus Avemies. However,
if the subject property is R-3, the people living there
would use the residential streets. He further contended
that the older residents in the area are moving out and
younger residents are taking their place, which would, in
his estimation, bring in more children and this, added to
the children from apartment residents, would overload the
school and result in busing children to other schools. In
response to a question by Councilman Rubio about closing
Calera Street at Hollyyale, he said he did not wish it
closed but would accept it if the zone change is granted.
This did not, in his thinking, solve the school problem.
At the request of Councilman Rubio, the City Clerk .read
the report of the Director of Public Works with regard
to the proposed closing of Calera Street. It was the recom-
mendation of the Director of Public Works that Calera Street
not be closed to -through traffic as a matter of police and
fire protection, good traffic engineering, and planning con-
sideration.
Councilman Rubio also pointed out the problem of traffic
backing up on Calera Street while waiting to turn west
from Calera onto Alosta. He suggested the need for some
sort of traffic control to solve this problem.
'Mr. Wachter again addressed Council and suggested that
any parking problem created by apartment residents on the
public street could be alleviated by either "restricted
time" parking or complete "no parking" on the west side of
Calera from Mauna Loa to Alosta.
Charles Rupert, 6262 Calera, appeared before Council and
responded to the suggested limited time or no parking
proposal, claiming that this would do nothing more than force
the apartment people to park across the street in front of
the residents' homes. There still remains the problem, in
his mind, that backing out of the driveways will be made more
hazardous by the number of cars coming out of the apartment
driveway.
The following matters were discussed by Council: The
problem of egress with regard to the apartment complex and the
need for such egress onto Alosta Avenue. It was noted that
the applicant had indicated a dedicated 60 -foot wide right-
of-way for a street which would run across the C-3 property
north of the subject property, connecting the apartment
complex to Alosta Avenue. The location of this right-of-way
was a matter of discussion. It was noted by the City Attorney
that such a restriction could not be placed on a zone change,
but could be directed by Council to the Planning Commission,
to be included in the requirements for approval of the precise
plan of design for either the R-3 property or the C-3 property
developments.
No one else wishing to speak regarding this matter and no
further communications having been received, it was
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Snyder
and unanimously carried that the hearing be closed.

for development on the C-3 property; and, further, that any
said plan of design be submitted to Council for study and
approval.

The Director of Public Works addressed Council and.
gave a report on the findings of his investigation with
regard to the fencing in the area of the subject.property.
In respect to the area of the wall which was inspected,
it was found that a 6 -ft. height barely met the Code
requirements for strength and stability. He stated that
any wall higher than this must have additional strength
and engineering.
John Rogers, 170 N. Viceroy, addressed Council, indicat-.
ing he felt :zis wall was safe, and invited inspection
by an engineer.
Walter Howes, 160 N. Viceroy, appeared before Council,
questioning the advisability of restricting the added
portion of the wall to materials, texture, and color
identical to the original wall.

The Superintendent of Light & Power addressed Council
and stated that, based upon the City's experi6nce with
regard to increase of costs for supplying electricity,
the request for rate increase by Southern California
Edison Co. appears to be unjustifiably large. He pointed
out that the petition by Southern California Edison Co.
before the Public Utilities Commission does not affect
'the rate paid by the City of Azusa for wholesale electricity.
However, other cities which have residents who receive elec-
trical power from this company have protested the rate
increase on behalf of such citizens. Inasmuch as there are
residents in the City of Azusa who do receive electrical
power from Southern California Edison Co., the City of
Azusa could, on their behalf, express opposition to P.U.C.
Page 5
A Resolution was proposed which would embody the opposi- Res. #55827
tion to the rate increase on behalf of those citizens of opposing req.
the City who are served by Southern California Edison Co., rate incr. by
which opposition is based upon the City's belief that, S.C. Edison
from its experience, the rate increase is unjustifiably (Application

A communication was received from the Personnel Board,
regarding a proposed amendment to the Civil Service
Ordinance for the 1972 Municipal Election, which would

that the period of extension should be somewhat flexible,
dependent upon the Department and classification
involved; and, therefore, should be part of the Rules
and Regulations in the event that subsequent revision
was desired.
The Board recommended that the following should be
placed before the electorate:
To delete from the (initiative) Civil Service
Ordinance (entire Section 2513 of the Municipal
Code) the following two paragraphs:
"SECTION 8 PROBATIONARY PERIOD. All original
and promotional appointments shall be for a
probational period of six months during which
the employee may be rejected at any time without
right of appeal or hearing in any manner.
An employee rejected during the probationary
period from which he was promoted shall be
reinstated to the position from which he was
promoted, unless charges are filed and he is
discharged as provided in this Ordinance and
the rules."
To be replaced with the following one paragraph:
"SECTION 8 PROBATIONARY PERIOD. The rules of the
Personnel Board shall provide for a period of
probation not to exceed one year before appoint-
ment or promotion is complete, during which the
employee may be rejected at any time without
right of appeal or hearing in any manner."

with just enough interior finish work so that the
building will be functional.
Phase II - further development of the building and
some work in the City Yard.
Phase III - would include the relocation of the
gasoline pumps and setting ulfor a diesel pump.
