A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
DENYING AN APPLICATION FOR
RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN PROPERTY
ON SOUTH SECOND AVENUE AND ON DUARTE
ROAD.
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 of ~he City of Arcadia on the 28th day of June, 1956,
the application of Fred M. Coxon and others, as owners, for a zone
reclassification from Zones R-l, R-2 and C-l to Zones C-2 and P of
the following described real property in the State of California,
County of Los Angeles, to wit:
Lot 9, and the west half of Lot 10, Block 62,
Santa Anita Tract, as shown on map recorded in
Book 16, page 58, Miscellaneous Records of Los
Angeles County; and the East 104.96 feet of Lot
13j the West 113.28 feet of Lot 14; and Lot 33,
except the South 80 feet of the West 120.46 feet
thereof, Tract No. 808, as shown on map recorded
in Book 16, pages 82 and 83, of Maps, in the
office of said Los Angeles County Recorder,
which is located at 902 South Second Avenue and 125, 134, 140 and
208 East Duarte Road. That after notice as required by law, a pub-
lic hearing on the matter was held by and before said City Planning
Commission on the 24th day of July, 1956, which hearing was duly con-
tinued to August 14, 1956, at which times all interested persons
were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence.

tain Resolution No. 228, wherein and whereby it made certain find-

were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence.
SECTION 3. That the City Council has fully reviewed the
files in the matter and fully considered all evidence presented.
That in addition to over eighty written protests filed with and
many oral protests made to the Planning Commission, written protests
signed by over 140 individual residents in the neighborhood and
from the Home Owners Association of Southern Arcadia were filed
with the City ~ouncil; that there were oral protests from a repre-
sentative of t~e Arcadia Presbyterian Church nearby, from an attor-
ney representi~g residents on Greenfield and Magna Vista and from
residents themselves. That in addition to those speaking in favor
of the proposed zone change, there were written petitions with
several hundred signatures in favor of the change, but that many
of those signing such petitions were neither residents of the City
of Arcadia nor owners of property which might be affected thereby.
That neither the public necessity, convenience nor general welfare
requires or justifies the requested change of zone at this time.
SECTION 4. That much of the subject property has been
reclassified to Zone C-l within the last year; that there has been
no commercial development of the property since such rezoning;
that sufficient time has not elapsed to show the need of a different
zoning; that there is still much vacant C-2 and C-3 property in the
City of Arcadia available for such commercial development that
should be used before more property is changed to general commercial
use. That the rezoning of subject property comprising separate par-
cels in three different blocks on Duarte Road would constitute spot
zoning; that any rezoning of Duarte Road property should consider
the street as a. whole and not individual parcels. That many of the
uses presently allowed in Zone C-2 would be objectionable to the
nearby residents.
SECTION~. That for each of the foregoing reasons, the

application of Fred r,l. Coxon and others for a zone reclassification
from Zones R-l, R-2 and C-l to Zones C-2 and P of the above described
property should be and the same is hereby denied. That this Coun-
cil's determi~ation is based upon each of the foregoing facts and
reasons and its decision would remain the same even if anyone or
more, but less than all of the foregoin3 facts or anyone or more,
but less than all of the reasons were removed.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was
adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of
Arcadia, held on the
