RESOLUTION NO. 3605
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
DENYING A REQUESTED VARIANCE TO ALLOW
A THREE STORY BUILDING ON PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 1102 FAIRVIEW AVENUE IN
SAID CITY.'
, ,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES
HEREBY DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That there was filed with the City Planning
Commission on April 29, 1963; the application of W~lliam J. Knight,
as owner, for a zone variance to permit the const~uction of a third
story penthouse above a proposed two-story apartment building on
real property located at 1102 Fairview Avenue in the City of Arcadia,
County. of Los Ange~e3, described as follows:
The nor~herly 150 feet of Lot 53, Tract No. 2731,
Map Book 33, Page 29, Records of said County.
That after due notice as required by the Zoning Ordinance of said
City, a public hearing was dUly held on the matter by and before
said City Planning Commission on May 28, 1963, which hearing was
duly continued to June 11, 1963, at which times all interested per-
sons were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evi-
dence. That said City Planning Commission thereafter on June 25,
1963, adopted its certain Resolution No. 479 wherein and whereby
it recommended the denial of the requested variance.
SECTION 2. That subject property is in Zone R-3 which
allows a maximum height limit of two stories or 35 feet. That there
are no exceptional or extraordinary conditions applicable to the
property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not
apply generally to other properties or classes of use in the immed-
iate vicinity and in the same zone. That the granting of the re-
quested variance would adversely affect the comprehensive general
-1-
3605
plan and would be materially detrimental to the public health and
welfare and injurious to properties and improvements in the zone or
vicinity in which the property is located. That a study of the de-
scribed a~ea indicates that only two story buildings are appropriate
now and for the foreseeable future. That to permit one building to
be three stories would set an undesirable precedent in this area and
accord subject property an advantage not enjoyed by adjacent prop-
erties. That the requested variance is not necessary for the preser-
vation or enjoyment of a substantial right of applicant possessed by
other property in the same zone or vicinity. On the contrary, the
City Planning Commission recently granted a modification to allow
construction of the proposed apartment building within ten (10) feet
of the side property line, thereby increasing the building site on
subject property.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons a variance to
allow the construction of a third story penthouse above a proposed
two story apartment building at 1102 Fairview Avenue 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 July
, 1963, by the affirmative vote of at
least three Councilmen, to wit:
AYES:
