Resolution No. 544 wherein and whereby it recommended the denial of the
requested special use permit;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That subject property is in Zones C-O and D which
permits professional offices without a special use permit. That prop-
erty immediately to the west is zoned c-o and D and ;s developed with
an apartment building. That property to the east, across La Cadena
Avenue, is also in Zones C-O and D and is improved with apartment struc-
tures. That property to the north is utilized for race track purposes.
That the saturation point has been reached for convalescent homes, both
in Arcadia and in the West San Gabriel Valley. That the site is too
small for the size and capacity of facility proposed, That the maximum
of 49 beds permitted by the lot area would not allow for adequate out-
door green area. That the proposed setbacks on Huntington Drive and
La Cadena Avenue are less than the established setbacks maintained by
other developments on both streets. That the seven foot interior side
yard setback proposed is inadequate to buffer this kind of facility
from the adjacent property which is improved with an apartment building.
That the service maintenance level will be more intense for subject
facility than for the uses surrounding it or those which the zoning
would allow to come into existence and would have a detrimental effect
upon neighboring properties and adversely affect the future development
of the area. The density of the proposed facility represents a depar-
ture from the present development standards in the community. That
parking, landscaping, outdoor activity areas, setbacks, room sizes and
density per lot area of subject facility are below those established by
other similar facilities in the area, and this reduction in standards
will tend to downgrade convalescent facilities in the community by estab-
lishing a precedent of lower standards.
