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 continued upon request of applicant to August 2, 1966, at which time all -1- 3893 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. -2- 3893 SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this City Council sustains the action of the City Planning Commission in denying the request for a conditional use permit to construct new service station 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 16th day of August, 1966, by the affirmative vote of at least three Councilmen, to wit: AYES: Councilmen Butterworth, Hage and Considine NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Forman ABSTAINING: councilman~~ ~ Ci Y C erk 0 e y '0 Arca a SIGNED AND APPROVED this 16th day of August, 1966. a -3- 3893
