RESOLUTION NO. 3708
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA
DENYING A. ZONE VARIANCE FOR PARKING
ON R-1 PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9977
WOODRUFF AVENUE AND 2580 BALDWIN
AVENUE IN SAID CITY.
WHEREAS, there was filed with the City Planning Commission
on June 19, 1964, the application of the First Baptist Church of
Temple City by Kermit G. Dunkelberger, Pastor, for a zone variance to
permit the use of two Zone R-l lots for church parking lot purposes
on property located at 9977 Woodruff Avenue and 2580 Baldwin Avenue
in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California,
described as follows:
Parking Lot No. 1 - 9977 Woodruff Avenue: Portion of
Lot 6 of Tract No. 6561 per map recorded in Book 72,
pages 34 and 35, Official Records of said County;
Parking Lot No. 2 - 2580 Baldwin Avenue: Lot 14 of
Tract No. 6501, per map recorded in Book 66, page 84,
Official Records of said County;
That after due notice as required by the Zoning Ordinance of said City,
a public hearing was duly held by and before said City Planning Com-
mission on July 14, 1964, at which time all interested parties were
given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. That
said City Planning Commission thereafter on June 28, 1964, adopted
its certain Resolution No. 522 wherein and whereby it recommended
the denial of the requested variance;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That applicant's need for additional parking
results from its construction of additional church and related faci1i-
ties on property owned and heretofore used by applicant for parking
purposes; that such construction is being done under a variance
granted by an adjacent jurisdiction, which variance requires applicant
-1-

to furnish additional parking. That it has not been shown either by
the application itself or by any testimony presented that the granting
of the requested variance is necessary for the preservation or enjoy-
ment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by
other property in the same zone and vicinity; on the contrary the evi-
dence presented shows that applicant owns other property within the
same block and within the same political jurisdiction as its church,
which property is not being used for church or church parking purposes;
likewise that applicant does not even own Parking Lot No.1. That the
granting of the variance will be materially detrimental to the publiC
health or welfare by permitting parking lots across the street from
the facility intended to be served thereby; that particularly with
respect to parking Lot No. 2 situated on the east side of Baldwin Avenue
the users thereof will have to cross a heavily travelled thoroughfare
at an unsignal1ed intersection, while the users of Parking Lot No. 1
will have to cross a less heavily travelled street but at its inter-
section with a heavily travelled thoroughfare. That neither in the
application nor by any evidence presented was it shown that the grant-
ing of the requested variance will not adversely affect the comprehen-
sive general plan of the area; on the contrary, the properties on both
sides of Woodruff Avenue from Baldwin Avenue to Holly Avenue and in fact
all the properties between Baldwin Avenue and Holly Avenue from Wood-
ruff Avenue northerly to at least Longden Avenue are zoned R-1, and all
of the properties on the west side of Baldwin Avenue between Woodruff
Avenue and Garibaldi Avenue are zoned R-3, in neither of which zones are
permitted the proposed uses of subject property.
SECTION 2. That for the foregoing reasons the requested zone
variance for parking on R-1 property as hereinbefore described is
hereby denied.
