NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOL VE AS FOLLOWS: ~ 6507 Section I. That the factual data submitted by the Community Development Division in the attached report is true and correct. Section 2. The City Council finds: 1. That four (4) of the five (5) proposed lots comply with all development standards and requirements of the Arcadia Municipal Code and the zoning code, and that Lot 3, the proposed corner lot, complies with the lot area and lot depth requirements but has a width four feet less than that required for a corner lot (instead of the required 85 feet in width, it has a width of 81 feet); 2. That Section 9113.6 of the Arcadia Municipal Code provides "that [if] a modification of the requirements of this Division [Design of Lots] is necessary by reason of the size, shape, topography, or other conditions of the property within the subdivision or of adjacent property, [the City Council] may, by majority vote grant such modifications to this Division as are not prohibited by the Subdivision Map Act and as are not inconsistent with the General Plan"; 3. That the 85'-0" lot width requirement for comer lots was adopted in ] 988 and prior to that time, the minimum lot width for a corner lot was 75'- 0"; that based upon evidenced presented at the public hearing, there are forty- seven corner lots within the area that have lot widths less than the 85'-0" 3- 6507 required by the Arcadia Municipal Code and only two existing corner lots within the area comply with the current 85'-0" wide standard; that for this reason, and in particular due to size, shape and other conditions of the proposed subdivision and the fact that other similarly situated corner lots in the vicinity of the proposed corner lot enjoy the benefit of a lot width less than 85 feet, a modification of the width requirement in the amount of four (4) feet (a modification of less than 5%) is reasonable and appropriate for the proposed corner lot; 4. That the design of the subdivision and improvements will not cause serious public health problems; 5. That the site is suitable for the density of development and that the design will not cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; 6. That the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the City's General Plan; and 7. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system will not violate existing requirements prescribed by a California regional water quality control board. 4 6507 Section 3.
