Arcadia City Councilman, Roger Chandler, calls the Planning Commission's proposal for a moratorium on small street corner shopping centers a "knee-jerk reaction."
Arcadia's Mini-Mall contains several shops and services all housed in what residents still call the old Market Basket building at 30 S. First Ave. Past and present occupants are mentioned.
A report from the Arcadia Planning Commission recommending restraints on mini-malls was "received and filed" by the Arcadia City Council who decided current building restrictions are adequate.
