THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: \'lHEREAS, on the 4th day of August, 1949, there was filed before the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia the petition of Bernard R. Nolan and Margaret F. Nolan, requesting a zoning variance on the following described property in the City of Arcadia, to wit: That portion of lot 125, Arcadia Acreage Tract, as per map recorded in Book 10, page 18 of Maps, records of Los Angeles County, beginning at a point in the north- erly line of said lot distant 393.75 feet easterly from the northwesterly corner thereof; thence easterly parallel with the northerly line thereof 124.51 feet to the easterly boundary line of the City of Arcadia; thence northeasterly thereon to the northerly line of said lot; thence westerly thereon to the point of beginning, except the westerly 87 feet thereof, being located on the southerly side of Longden Avenue east of Sixth Avenue, and known as 704 East Longden Avenue; to permit the conduct of a riding academy and a boarding stable for horses, and WHEREAS, said property is now located in a residential zone, to wit, R-l zone, and WHEREAS, after notice as required by Ordinance No. 760, a public hearing on the matter was held before the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia on the first day of September, 1. \NDE.X~O 1949, and all interested parties were given the full opportunity to be heard, and WHEREAS, in the opinion of the Planning Commission the maintenance of the several commercial uses petitioned for in a residential zone would be detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to the surrounding property and would adversely affect the comprehensive general plan of the City of Arcadia, and WHEREAS the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia recommended in its Resolution No.8, dated September 15th, 1949, that the aforesaid petition be denied for the following reasons, 1. The request of petitioners is contrary to the spirit and intent of the Master Zoning Plan of the City of Arcadia, which was adopted and became effective on June 3rd, 1949, after a series of public hearings, and which Plan was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council; 2. The action requested by the petitioners is, in the opinion of the Commission, contrary to good planning prac- tice as it involves "spot" re-zoning of the property, without regard for the effect of such action on the properties in the immediate vicinity; 3. The Planning Commission recently recommended for denial a similar petition for an extension of an existing var- iance which terminated on June 16,1949; there have:been no changes since this recent action of the Commission which would justify a reversal of its prior decision so as to make legal the present unlawful operation of the enterprise now being conducted at the aforesaid location. AND, W~EAS, the aforesaid Resolution No. 8 of the ~lanning Commission of the City of Arcadia was adopted by the Commission on the 15th day of September, 1949, 2. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows: SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Arcadia does hereby approve the recommendation of the Planning Commis- sion and deny a zoning variance affecting the real property located at 704 East Longden Avenue in said City.
