Howard H. Riddle & E. S. Kimrey Tract No. 17325 and Lot 4 of. Tract No. 16233).
NO ACTION TAKEN Request for unclassified use (Dancing Studio in
• existing C-1 Zone). Variance granted:.by Plan-
ning Commission March 21. (If further action required by Council, set date of
hearing.) No appeal was made regarding this Zone Variance No. 149 to Council;
Mayor Hurst stated no further action need be taken by Council.
MODIFICATION OF OVERALL Mayor Hurst stated that since many people pre -
ZONE MAP sent were waiting for the decisions reached by
the City Council on a good portion of the Zoning
Map, they should now be stated. Intersection of Barranca and Garvey originally
proposed C-1 cannot be ultimately determined until Freeway intersection is redesign-
ed. Probably no change in potential zone at this intersection. On south side of
Garvey east of Barranca R-3 and west of Barranca is proposed R-3 to extend beyond
south side of Walnut Wash to include the flat land below mesa, which cannot be des -
cribed orally, but which goes around the hill below Plateau Drive over to Citrus and
hooking up with "U.' zone and "R" zone at Citrus Avenue. No changes at Citrus and
Garvey or at Hollenbeck and Garvey. Azusa Avenue, north of Garvey - -originally
Rowland Ave. had four corners that showed potential zoning of approximately one
acre for each corner granted there. Either side of Azusa Avenue both east and west
approximately 660 ft. back to lot lines will be R-3 with recommendation from Plan-
nin Commission that.variance be considered for professional offices and buildings.
AllgR'=3 and commercialzones to be subject to precise plan and this R-3 to inclu e
professional offices to be constructed with back ups or, service roads to Azusa. At
Garvey and Azusa, three corners are zoned R-1 and C-1; the other will. have zone
subject to Precise Plan. Rest of area north of Garvey is pretty well taken care of.
Lot 203 - on south side of Service Ave. between Valinda and Glendora R-3 from'
ValiRpda to a point approximately 200 ft. west from that point to Glendora C-1. The
triangle on the north side of Service from Valinda to Glendora C-1 north to the
proposed extention of Valinda. From the extenti.on of Valinda north to Walnut Creek
Wash R-3. The triangle at the intersection of Vincent Ave. extension and Glendora
C-1. West side of Glendora beginning at a point opposite Service Ave. north to
Walnut Creek Wash C-1 one lot !depth excepting part already granted for R-3 church
use directly opposite Service Ave.
