persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evi-
dence. That upon the conclusion of said hearings, said Commission
adopted its certain Resolution No. 318, wherein and whereby it made
certain findings and recommendations to this Council.
t
SECTION 2. That there were protests, both oral and writ-
ten, to the granting of the variance on the grounds that the noise
and traffic thereby created would be detrimental to surrounding
residential property and that there was other vacant property avail-
able in the vicinity for such purpose; however, there were those,
other than the proponents, who spoke in favor of granting the vari-
ance under certain conditions.
SECTION 3. That subject property is situated at the north-
west corner of Foothill Boulevard and Secon~ Avenue; that the south-
erly portion of the property facing on Foothill Boule~ard is zoned
C-2 and the north'~rly portion facing on Sycamore Avenue is zoned
R-l. That all of the property fronting on Foothill Boulevard in the
- vicinity is zoned for commercial purposes. That applicant's prop-
erty is the only property abutting the north side of Foothill within
the block that extends northerly to Sycamore A~ti,; that all of the
other properties abutting the north side of Foothill within the
block are zoned for and usable for commercial purposes and parking
incidental thereto, whereas only a portion of applicant's property
may be used for c(lmmercial purposes and the parking incidental thereto
and the balance is restricted to single family residential purposes,
although all of applicant's property comprises but one lot or parcel
of land. That the variance as hereinafter granted is therefore rea-
sonably necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant possessed by other property in the
same zone and vicinity. That the intended use of applicant's prop-
erty for a temple and religious school which is a use permissible
~ in zone R-2 is an exceptional circumstance applicable to the intended

t'
use thereof that does not apply generally to the use or class of
use in the same zone or vicinity. That the granting of the vari-
ance as hereinafter provided will not be materially detrimental
to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or
improvements in such zone or vicinity in which the property is
located; that the granting of such variance will not adversely
affect the comprehensive general plan. That the public welfare
and convenience reasonably require the granting of the variance,
and upon the conditions hereinafter set forth, said variance will
not be inconsistent with good planning practice, nor with the
present or prospective development of the neighborhood, in whi9h
the property is located.
