A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
SUSTAINING THE ACTION OF THE CITY
PLANNING COMMISSION AND DENYING A
REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO CONSTRUCT NEW SERVICE STATION
FACILITIES AT 901 WEST DUARTE ROAD
IN SAID CITY.
WHEREAS, there was filed with the City Planning Commission
on May 6, 1966, the application of Harbor Service Stations, Inc., as
Lessee, for a conditional use permit to construct a new service sta-
tion facility on property located at 901 West Duarte Road in the City
of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, more specifi-
cally described as follows:
Lot 133 of Tract No. 2731, per'map recorded in
Book 33, page 29, of Maps in the office of the
County Recorder of said County;
EXCEPT the north 50 feet measured along the
east line of said lot;
which property is situated at the northwesterly corner of the inter-
section of Duarte Road and Golden West Avenue. That after due notice
as required by the Zoning Ordinance of said City, a public hearing
was held on the matter by and before said City Planning Commission
on May 24, 1966, at which time all interested persons were given
full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. That said
City Planning Commission thereafter on June 28, 1966, adopted its
certain Resolution No. 590 wherein and whereby it made certain findings
and determinations and denied the requested conditional use permit for
the reasons therein stated. That within ten (10) days thereafter a writ-
ten appeal from said decision was duly filed by applicant, in accordance
with Section 9275.2.9 of the Arcadia Municipal Code, pursuant to which
after notice duly given, a pUblic hearing was scheduled for July 19,
1966, before the City Council of the City of Arcadia, which hearing was

interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to pre-
sent evidence;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That subject property is in Zone R-3 and pres-
ently developed with a single-family residence. That the property
to the southeast is developed with a shopping center and the property
to the south with commercial uses. That the property north of Duarte
Road on both sides of Golden West Avenue is in Zone R-3 and developed
with a mixture of single-family residences and apartments. That in a
recent study undertaken by the City Planning Commission, a land use
plan for this area was prepared, which made no provision for increased
commercial zoning north of Duarte Road and which firmly established
the boundaries and limited the expansion to a specific area which was
integrated with the balance of the commercial zoning. That there is
no commercial zoning, development or uses on the north side of Duarte
Road from the westerly city limits to the C-2-D zoning in the middle
of the block east of the block in which subject property is located.
SECTION 2. That the granting of a conditional use permit
in this location would not serve a need that cannot be provided
through existing service stations and upon available commercial zoning
in the area. That such development would, in effect, constitute spot
zoning, by permitting an extensive commercial business on the north
side of Duarte Road in an area where the north side of said street is
zoned and used exclusively for residential purposes, which would be
injurious to adjacent properties and improvements, and would be adverse
to the comprehensive general plan. That the property is well suited
for and readily usable for the purposes for which it is zoned.

facilities on the above-described property, and said request is hereby
denied.
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

least three Councilmen, to wit:
AYES:
Councilmen Butterworth, Hage and Considine
