NO. 33014 Request: Approval of a tentative tract map NEGATIVE DECLARATION for an 18 lot subdivision with certain OF ENVIRONMENTAL variances from standards of the West Covina IMPACT, MAYER Municipal Code, on a 9.71 acre parcel and CONSTRUCTION CO.INC. certification of the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact. Denied by Planning Commission Resolution No. 2698. Appealed by the Applicant on December 7, 1976. (Proof of Publication in the West Covina Tribune on December 16, 1976 received. 38 Notices mailed.) Staff presented the Report. Staff recommended that the City Council reaffirm the decision of the Planning Commission and reject Tentative Tract Map 33014, both Alternates I and II, and Variance No. 731. - 6 - CITY COUNCIL Page Seven Hearings December 27, 1976 Variance No. 731 PUBLIC HEARING -OPENED IN FAVOR • Mr. D. L. Ingram (Sworn in°by City Clerk.) P.O. Box 5922 Reviewed Alternate I - an 18 lot subdivision El Monte, Ca.. with no provision for dedication to West Covina. Parkway. Based on the theory that the applicant should not be required to dedicate for the Parkway, but should the -City make such a requirement, the applicant should be given credit for the dedication in the lot sizes and not be required to request lot size variances. Noted three precedences in the City for this type of action - (1) the apartment development on Citrus Avenue where a building was permitted to be constructed within the so-called West Covina Parkway area; (2) the Mayer Construction Company Barranca. I development -where credit was given for the entire parcel for purposes of density and portions of the Parkway were permitted to be used for parking, landscaping and private purposes; and, (3) the seven house tract to the east of the subject property and west of Grand Avenue where the developer was given credit for frontage road dedication. Was of the opinion, therefore, that if the City required dedication, it would constitute excessive taking - some 40 percent of the parcel would be then dedicated. Pointed out that the Parkway would be of no use to the development, which . would take access to Ba.rra.nca Street. Reviewed Alternate II - a 17 lot subdivision with a. 60 foot dedication for West Covina Parkway. Based on the possibility that the Parkway width might be reduced. Reviewed the need for a. variance for Lot 1 on both Alternates I and II - a lot encumbered with many detri- mental factors that would have to be sold at a. lower cost. Realized City's past and current studies and concern for a need for the Parkway. Pointed out that the residents of the subject area had thus far not come forth 'to oppose the proposed development, and were not desirous of having the Parkway extended through the subject area. Briefly reviewed the history of the property, noting that originally the applicant proposed a. 200 unit apartment development. Alternates I and II would be the base developments that the applicant would propose. The applicant never wanted to argue with the City; his only desire has been to build a quality development, as he did with the Barranca I development. Pointed out that at the Hearing before the.Planning Commission, three • Commissioners indicated -they would: look fa.vora.bly upon Alternate II should West Covina: Parkway be reduced. =Re'quested'that the Council consider the results of studies concerning a.need for the Parkway, the desires of the residents in the -area, and to (1) hold over the subject application a.nd instruct ,Staff to begin proceedings to reduce the Parkway width, or to eliminate the Parkway completely, or to 7 - CITY COUNCIL Hearings Variance No. 731 Page Eight December 27, 1976 (2) return the subject application to the Planning Commission for reconsideration along with instructions for a General Plan • amendment to accomplish Parkway changes. Recognized that if the Council should be willing to go forward and make some changes that there would be some delays. The applicant would be happy to be patient and work with the City under those circumstances. • IN OPPOSITION None.. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED COUNCIL DISCUSSION Chappell noted that the subject property had never been zoned for apartment use. Felt that because the Parkway is under study for consideration of reduction in size, it would be fitting to hold over the application until completion of the study and Staff recommendation. •Browne reviewed the study currently being done to consider West Covina..Parkway width, and explained that until that study has been'comple ed, the Council would not take action on the Parkway. Concurred with Chappell'srecommendation to hold over the -,subject applica.-tion.' Tice concurred, noting that he has never felt there is a need to extend the Parkway,.., -'although the Parkway will probably go through at some width yet to be determined. Shearer concurred, noting that if the Council had at this time a Plan designating the Parkway to be 60 feet, he would support Alternate II. (Browne concurred.) Miller concurred with the statements made by his fellow Councilmen. The City Attorney advised what action could be legally taken in this matter. Mr. Ingram, on behalf of the applicant consented to hold over the matter. Motion made by Chappell, seconded by Tice that the City Council, with the consent of the developer, hold over the consideration of Variance 731 and Tentative Tract No. 33`014 until April 25, 1977. Motion carried. THIRD YEAR DRAFT APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL FUNDS UNDER THE; HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOP- MENT ACT OF 1974 (TITLE I) BLOCK GRANTS First Public Hearing held on December 13, 1976, and continued to this date for Second scheduled Public Hearing. Staff reviewed the Report, clarifying certain sections upon Council request. Some Council- men recalled .that certain City parks had been Master Planned in the past; Staff will look into any such possibility;, and furnish a report to Council. - 8 - CITY COUNCIL Hearings Third Year Draft Application PUBLIC HEARING OPENED Mrs. C. Jones 1428 Sandia Ave. West Covina, Ca. Page Nine December 27, 1976 Wondered if bar-b-que pits were planned for any of the City parks. Browne explained that the Recreation and Parks Department is considering bar-b-que pits, but that same had not been included in the subject proposal for spending of the Grant. Mrs. K. Jackson Requested clarification of Item (E) (Planning/Management - Citizen -Communication Program - $5,000) and Item (F) (Administration - Citizen/Staff - $71,000) of the Proposed Third Year CD Projects List. Staff explained Item (t) would finance the Citizens Participation Program; Item (F) would finance the salaries of the personnel assigned to the program, however, there was a typographical error on the List, it should be corrected to read: "(F) ADMINISTRATION - $71,000." Mrs. Jackson noted that the Report referred to "restrooms01 that had been made accessible to the handicapped during the second year funding of the Grant, and questioned what restrooms. Staff explained that one restroom at Cortez Park had been made accessible to the handicapped; it had not been possible to --modf,fyr,-; the second restroom because a bearing wall of the building was involved. The restrooms at Palm View and Del Norte Parks will be modified. Mr. Jeffers Since only'one restroom had been modified 131 S. Barranca at Cortez Park, wondered if the handicapped West Covina, Ca.-.. were expected to post.someone outside while in use. Felt that would be an inconvenience and an infringement on his civil rights. :'Staff explained that procedure would probably have to be followed. The modifications have to be made on existing buildings that were constructed prior to the regula- tions for the handicapped; the City is trying to do the best with what exists. Noted that the exterior restrooms in Cortez Park will be modified for the handicapped. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED COUNCIL DISCUSSION Council concurred that the overall.Program and intent of the Program was favorable.

Jackson Had read in the newspaper that the Police Officers are giving citations to vehicles parked illegally, including vehicles • parked illegally in handicapped stalls. Commended the Police Force for their action. However, had heard that the merchants were quite irate about the situation, and were going to request the Council to void.the citations. Requested Council explain the situation. Browne explained that the information the Council had was that the Police Department was issuing a number of parking violation citations. This Council would not become involved in directing the Police Department to "fix" or rescind any citations written as long as they are written in adherence to vehicle ordinances and codes.
