CITY COUNCIL INFORMATION SESSION
APRIL 1, 1981
The Rosemead City Council met in the Conference Room of
City Hall on April 1, 1981 at 7:00 p. m., to discuss Land Use
inconsistencies on approximately 2,150 separate properties in
the City of Rosemead.
John Carmona, Director of Planning, commented on some of
these inconsistencies and the areas-of specific concern and of
the proposed changes to eliminate some of the discrepencies.
John Bitterly, Urban Futures, Inc., Land Use Element Con-
sultant, presented in summarized form the recommendations of
the proposed Land Use Element. He stated that various rela-
tionship factors and constraints were considered including socio-
economic factors and trends, natural physical factors, infra-
structure constraints and current land use characteristics of
Rosemead. The current General Plan of Rosemead was prepared and
adopted in 1972. In that document, land use changes had been
proposed for many areas of the City that are not reflected by
the existing Zoning Ordinance nor by existing land uses. By
lacking consistency, the existing zoning does not effectively
implement the goals and objectives of the current Land Use
Element of Rosemead's General Plan.
There are fifteen areas of concern, involving either a
General Plan/Zoning Ordinance conflict or a need for re-study.
Within these areas lie the proposed changes to the current
General Plan/Zoning Ordinance and form the crux of the proposed
Land Use Element and Plan.
Councilman Taylor commented on the fact that P-0 Zone has
been deleted and inquired if it were going to be placed else-
where in the City. He also inquired when the zoning had
taken place of Section #13 and if the zoning of that section
had been done by the County of Los Angeles.
The Council commented on some of their concerns, but agreed
in general as to the need of consistency of the Land Use Element
and the Zoning of the City, and requested that the Public Hearings
necessary to make these corrections be proceeded with.
After three hours of discussion, the City-Council adjourned
their study session to the next regular meeting of April 14, 1981
at 8:00 p. m.
