lVEST LAS TUNAS DRIVE.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES

SECTION 1. That there was filed with the City Planning
Commission on August 26, 1957, the application of Reuben V. Senior
and Fanny L. Senior, as owners, for a zone variance to perrnit the
following descrlbed property in the City of Arcadia, County of Los
Angeles, State of California, to wit:
The West 75 feet of the East 135 feet, exclusive

shown on rnap recorded in Book 42, page 87, Mis-
cella~eous Records of said County,
located at 108 Nest Las Tunas Drive, to be used for the construc-
tion and rnaintenance of a pet hospital; and that after notice as
required by Ordinance No. 760 of the City of Arcadia, as amended,

sion adopted its certain Resolution No. 267, wherein and whereby it
made certain findings and recommended that the application for a
variance to perrnit the construction and maintenance of a pet hos-
pital upon the above described property be granted upon certain con-
ditions therein specified.

pursuant to which appeal the City Council did, on November 5,
1957, fix November 19, 1957, at the hour of 8:00 o'clock p.rn., in
the Council Ch~nbers in the Arcadia City Hall, as the tirne and
place for a public hearing to consider the aforesaid recommendation
of the City Planning Commission and the said appeal therefrorn.
That at said public hearing, duly held on Novernber 19, 1957, by and
before this City Council, after notice, all persons interested in
the matter were given full opportunity to be heard.
SECTION 3. That there were numerous protests, both oral
and written, to the granting of the variance, largely upon the
grounds that it would in effect constitute spot zoning and would de-
preciate properties in the area, particularly residential properties.
SECTION 4. That the granting of the variance is not neces-
sary for the preservation of any substantial property right of the
applicant inasrnuch as subject property is presently zoned C-2 and
recent developments in the area clearly indicate that prpperty in
the area is highly deSirable and readily usable for C-2 purposes; that
proposed developrnent of vacant areas in the vicinity have reduced,
if not rernoved, both the need and the desirability of further vari-
ances affecting property within the so-called "Triangle". That it
has not been shown that the granting of the variance, either as re-
quested or as recommended, will not adversely affect the cornprehen-
sive general plan. That it has not been satisfactorily shown that
the granting of the variance, either as requested or as recommended,
will not be rnaterial1y injurious to property or irnprovernents in
the zone or vicinity in which the subject property is located.
SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons, the City Coun-
cil sustains the appeal heretofore filed with the City Clerk, disap-
proves the findings and recommendations of the City Planning
Commission conta.ined in aforesaid Resolution No. 267 insofar as

they support and recommend the granting of a variance; and a vari-
ance to perrnit the construction and rnaintenance of a pet hospital
upon the above described property, both as requested and as recorn-
rnended by the City Planning Commission, is hereby denied.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution.
