NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1, The City Council finds:
I. That the granting of CUP 85-23 will not be detrimental
to the public health or welfare, or injurious to property or
improvements in the zone or vicinity because the proposed use is
a low traffic generator and is a less intense use than the
typical industrial development for which the property is zoned,
Subject property is zoned M-2 which allows a number of heavy
manufacturing uses as set forth in the zoning code of the City of
Arcadia, The operation of a public storage facility as proposed
involves minimal traffic impact and customer usage, and will have
-2-

security and hourly controls. Further, based on sewage studies
and other related evidence concerning this project, ground water
quality will not be affected by installation of the on site
disposal system. For these reasons and those set forth below CUP
85-23 is consistent with the public convenience and welfare and
can be harmoniously adjusted to the surrounding uses and the
community.
2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is
properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized
because subject zone allows for the proposed use subject to a
conditional use permit,
3. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size
and shape to accommodate said use and all yards, spaces, walls,
fences, parking, loading, landscaping and other features required
to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood
because of the following reasons:
a. Those set forth in *1 and *2 above,
b. Traffic study surveys conducted regarding the operation
of similar self service facilities disclosed that these uses do
not need the amount of parking that other permitted uses in the
industrial zone require. Typically, businesses in an industrial
zone are engaged in processing, assembling, manufacturing and
warehousing of products which require parking for employees, The
parking needs for a self-storage facility are limited to persons
paying their monthly bills and persons making inquiries, All
loading and unloading of material is done at the storage unit,
-3-

4, That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in
width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by
the proposed use for the reasons set forth in #3 above and
because Lower Azusa Road is designated as a major arterial on the
General Plan and is adequate in width and pavement type to carry
the limited amount of traffic generated by this use,
5, That the granting of this Conditional Use Permit will
not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan since the
General Plan designation for this site is industrial.
6, That conditions as set forth below have been applied to
assure the proposed use is desirable and essential to the public
convenience and welfare and can be harmoniously adjusted to the
surrounding uses and the community.
SECTION 2. That for the foregoing reasons this Council
grants Conditional Use Permit 85-23 to construct and operate a
public storage facility with a security manager's unit subject to
compliance with the following conditions:
l, That the use may be serviced by a septic tank which
shall be designed and installed to the satisfaction of the
