A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ARCADIA APPROVING M-79-92 (AT 250
COLORADO BLVD,) AND MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT.
WHEREAS, on July 24, 1979, and August 28, 1979, the Planning
Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and after making find-
ings of fact unanimously approved M-79-92 filed by Glendale Develop-
ment Company, Inc., for the property at 250 Colorado Boulevard,
Arcadia, legally described as Part of Lot I, Tract 949, City of
Arcadia, Map Book 17, Page 13, Los Angeles County Recorder, herein-
after referred to as "subject property", at which time all interested
persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evi-
dence; and
WHEREAS, aforesaid decision of the Planning Commission was
appealed to the City Council by the Los Angeles Turf Club, Inc" In
its appeal the Turf Club was opposed to the Planning Commission's
approval which granted a reduction in the setback line along Colorado
Place and the condition that the median strip on Colorado Place be
extended southerly to block left turns to or from the driveways on
the property. The Turf Club noted in its appeal that the reduction
in setback as granted by the Planning Commission would seriously
interfere with the possibility of a future widening of this street.
A duly noticed hearing was held by the City Council on October 2,
1979, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity
to be heard and to present evidence;
