NOW, THEREFORE, THE C~TY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That subject property is in Zone R-l with an
existing variance to use the site for apartments at the rate of one
(1) dwelling unit for each two thousand (2,000) square feet of land,
-
whereas the application requests permission to have one (1) unit for
each one thousand seven hundred seventy-eight (1,778) feet, a dif-
-
ference of seventeen (17) units, That the height limit of subject
property is two (2) stories not to exceed thirty-five (35) feet,
whereas the proposed buildings have twelve (12) stories, plus a pent-
house with a total height of one hundred thirty-two (132) feet. That
- .
applicant alternately proposes an eight (8) story development.
SECTION 2. That there are no exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or

the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improve-
ments in such zone or vicinity in which the property is located. That
such variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by other prop-
erty in the same zone and vicinity as evidenced by the amount of apart-
ment development in the immediate vicinity under the same zoning and
variance as is applicable to subject property.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons the requested
