RESOLUTION NO. 3041
A,RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
DENYING A REQUESTED ZONE
RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN REAL
PROPERTY .
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES
FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That there was filed with the City Planning
Commission on the 17th day of January, 1958, the application of
.-
Herbert W. Ambs and others, as owners, for a zone reclassification
'"
from Zone ,R-l to Zone R-3 of the following described real property
in:the State of California, County of Los Angeles, to wit:
Lots 3 to 6 inclusive; the west 50 feet of
. Lot 15; Lots 16 to 20 inclusive; Lots 27,
28 and 29; Lots 36 to 43 inclusive, Tract
No. 6641 as shoWn on map recorded in Book
126, page 67, of Maps, Records of said
County,
located in the. general vicinity of Baldwiri Avenue and Las Tunas
Drive, extending east approximately 600 feet from Baldwin Avenue.
That after notice as required by Ordinance No. 760 of the City of
Arcadia, as amended, a public hearing was duly held by and before
said Commission on the 25th day of March, 1958, which said hearing,
,at the request of the applicant, was continued to April 22, 1958
and still further continued to May 13, 1958, at each of which times
all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard
and to present evidence. That upon the conclusion of said hearings,
said Commission adopted its certain Resolution No. 288 wherein and
whereby it made certain findings and recommendations to thisCoun-
cil.
SECTION 2. That in addition to many oral protests, written
protests to such rezoning were filed by the owners of more than one
;'

...
hundred parcels in the general neighborhood, on the grounds that
the proposed use of apartment houses would create noise and park-
ing problems in a quiet single-family residential neighborhood
thereby reducing property values. That although the'applicant re-
quested a continuation of the hearing set for March 25,1958 for
the purpose of filing the amended application, no such amendment
was filed and the petition filed on April 18, 1958 requesting that
a portion of the original area,be excluded from the application
was not signed by the owners of all the property for which exclu-
--r
sion was requested. That the petition, as originally filed, re-
quested rezoning on only one side,of Woodruff and Workman Avenues
leaving R-l zoning at the'southwest corner of Woodruff Avenue and
Baldwin'Avenue with a probability of further applications for zon-
ing relief. That even with the requested exclusion of some area~,
the petition still proposed R-3 zoning on the north side of Las
Tunas Drive across the street from Zones C-l and R-l, resulting in
an island of R-3 zoning of Baldwin Avenue without regard to other
properties.
~
SECTION 2. That no exceptional or extraordinary circum-
stances were shown applicable to the property. That it was not
shown that pubiic necessity, convenience, general welfare or good
zoning practife justify the requested zone change but rather that
the request is premature and not in the interest of good planning
and would be'detrimental to the residential property in the neigh~
borhood.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons the request
that the above described property be reclassified from Zone R-l
to Zone R-3 is hereby denied.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution.
