RESOLUTION NO. 2793
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
DENYING THE REQUESTED CONTINUATION
OF A VARIANCE TO PERMIT PROPERTY IN
AN R-l ZONE TO BE USED FOR A TRACT
SALES OFFICE.
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 May 21, 1956, the application of Camden Wilshire Com-
pany, a corporation, as owner, for the continuation of a zone vari-
ance to permit the use of property located in an R-l Zone at 1666
North Santa Anita Avenue, described as follows, to wit:
Lot 1, Tract No. 14626, as shown on map recorded
in Book 365, page 36, of Maps in the office of
the County Recorder of Los Angeles County,
as a tract sales office in connection with the sale of properties
in the Santa Anita Highlands and to allow the continuance of the
present or similar signs for the period of the variance; that after
notice as required by Ordinance No. 760 of the City of Arcadia, a
public hearing was duly held by and before said Commission on the
12th day of June, 1956, at which time all interested persons were
given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. That
thereupon said Commission on July 10, 1956, adopted its certain Reso-
lution No. 221, wherein and whereby it made certain findings and
recommendations to this Council.
SECTION 2. That there were numerous protests, both oral
and written to the granting of the variance; that over 90% of the
owners of all the property within 300 feet of subject property pro-
tested either orally or in writing to the granting of the variance,
stating that they had purchased the property for residential use with
the understand~ng that the tract sales office was a temporary use of
said Lot 1. That no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances were

..
shown applica'ble to the property; that the need for a tract sales
office at that location, which warranted the granting of the previ-
ous variance no longer exists; and that the tract sales office build-
ing is on a temporary foundation and could be easily moved. That
said property is in a high class R-l Zone and the granting of such a
variance would be detrimental and injurious to the surrounding R-l
property.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, the petition
of Camden Wilshire Company for a continuation of a zone variance to
permit the use of the above described property for a tract sales
office be and the same is hereby denied and said Camden Wilshire
Company is hereby allowed one hundred twenty (120) days to move said
tract sales office to another proper location.
SECTION 4. 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 7th
day of August
, 1956, by the affirmative
vote of at least three Councilmen, to wit:
AYES: Councilmen Dennis, Jacobi, Phillips and Hulse
