I THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance No. 760 of the City of Arcadia, adopted May 3, 1949, the Planning Commission of said City has considered the verified application of Carl D. Thomas and Ruth B. Thomas as owners, and Collins Radio Company as optionee, requesting a zone variance on the following described property in the City of Arcadia, to-wit: That portion of Lot 6 of Tract No. 948; in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, as per map reeorded in Book 17 page 21 of Maps in the office of the county recorder of said county described as follows: Beginning at the intersection of the east line of said lot wi th the north line of Colorado Boulevard "formerly Orange Ave." as described in the deed recorded in.book 11397 page 220 official records of the said county; thence west 1056.93 ft. to the northeasterly line of Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad right of way in the southwest line of said lot; thenco along said line south 51034'0" east 725.1+3 feet to the northerly line of Colorado Boulevard as described in deed recorded in Book 11397 page 220 of said official records; thence easterly along the north line of said boulevard 488.68 feet more or less to the point of beginning. to permit the use of said property for all purposes for which property zoned as "C-2" is now or may hereafter be permitted to be used, including light manufacturing employing the use of such industrial machinery and equipment as may pertain to or be useful in light manufacturing; to permit the use of said premises as a site for the conduet of the business (or any phases thereof) of designing, developing, and manufacturing electrical, electronic, and mechanical apparatus, equipment, devices, and instruments useful in, relating to, or an aid in communication and navigation fields as well as for scientific experimentation and research; and -1- 'N08<EO WHEREAS, the Planning Commission after consideration of such application and acting in an advisory capacity to the City Council has made its findings and recommendations thereon under its certain Resolution No. 38 enti tled: "A RESOLUTION OF ']JIE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, RECOJ'ltMENDING THE GRANTING OF A ZONE VARIANCE AFFECTING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN SAID CITY TO PERMIT SAID PROPERTY TO BE USED FOR CERTAIN C-2 AND LIGHT MANUFACTURING USES", a true copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference the same as if hereinagain fully set forth, NOW, THEREFORE, the City Couneil does hereby find, determine and resolve as follows: SECTION 1. That there were numerous protests against granting of the variance requested; that although the majority of the protestants were residents or owners of property not in the im!nedia te vieini ty of the property involved, their protes ts are entitled to considerable weight as their property, health and well-being would be, in the opinion of this Council, adversely affected by the granting of the variance requested even with the modifications and conditions recommended by the City Planning Conunission. SECTION 2. That although there are numerous circumstances concerning the property involved which are exceptional and do not apply generally to the property in the same vicinity and zone, nevertheless the granting of the requested variance, even with the modifications and conditions recommended by the City Planning Commission, would be inconsistent with the provisions of the master zoning plan and would adversely affect the compre- hensive general plan in that the City of Arcadia is predominately a city of homes and the grantIng of the requested variance, even as modified, would enlarge the amount of property in the city -2- devoted to manufacturing uses and would encourage the influx of further manufacturing concerns and Poster and encourage a diver- sion of the present planning and trends of residential development to commercial and manufacturing development. SECTION 3. That the variance requested, even with the modifi- cations and conditions recommended by the City Planning Commission, is not necessary for the preservation or enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicant for the reason that this Council finds, upon the evidence presented, that the property involved can be profitably sold or developed for the uses for which it is now zoned. SECTION 4. ~hat the granting of the variance requested, even with the modifications and conditions recommended by the City Planning Commission, will be materially detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to the property and improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located, for the reason that the granting of the varianee will permit the installa- tion and operation of an extremely large manufacturing center the effects of whic]l will in general depreciate the value of surrounding residential territory, particularly all property not immed~ately contiguous to tile property in question. SECTION 5. That insofar as the findings and recommendations of the City Planning Commission are contrary to or inconsistent with the foregoing, the same are hereby disapproved. That the variance requested, be and the same is hereby denied, and that the granting of the variance upon the conditions and with the modificiations as recommended by the City Planning Commission be and the same is hereby denied for each and all of the reasons hereinbefore set forth. SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was adopted -3- ~t a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Arcadia, held on the 6tll day of February, 1951, by the affirmative vote of at least three Councilmen, to-wit: AYES: NOES: Councilmen Kennett, Aiiiq5, 8chmocker and Sullivan eounc1lman Klomp ABSENT: Councilman Nottingham CltY~.{ th~~"dl' SIGNED AND APPROVED this 6th day of February, 1951 ~ ATTEST: ,,,r;:.t kf -4-
