THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I. That there was filed with the City Planning Commission on the 3lst day of October, 1962, the application of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company as owner, for a zone variance to permit the addition of a second story to a building heretofore constructed under a variance upon Lots 7 and 8 of Block I of Tract No. 101, per map recorded in Map Book 13, page 52, in the office of the County Recorder of Los Angeles County, which property is commonly known as 15 Alice Street, Arcadia, California, and to permit such construction two (2) feet in excess of the thirty-five (35) foot height limit otherwise applicable thereto, and as optionee of Lot 9 of said Block I, Tract No. 101, commonly known as 19 Alice Street, Arcadia, California, to permit the use of said Lot 9 for automobile parking required for the proposed use and construction on said Lots 7 and 8. That after due notice as required by the Zoning Ordinance of said City, as ~nended, a public hearing was duly,held on the mat- ter by and before i3aid City Planning Commission on November 13, 1962, at which time all :Lnterested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. That at the conclusion of said hearing said City Planning Commission adopted its certain Resolution No. 463 wherein and whereby it recommended the granting of the -l- 3546 requested variance upon certain specified conditions. SECTION 2. That all of subject property is presently zoned R-3; that the existing building on said Lots 7 and 8 and its present use thereof was authorized under a variance granted for such purpose over fifteen years ago. That there has been no neighborhood objection to its continued use for such authorized purpose through- out this entire time and there were neither oral or written pro- tests to the granting of the variance herein requested. That the use of the property for a public utility ~s by its very nature an exceptional circl@stance applicable to the intended use of the sub- ject property that does not apply generally to the class of use in the same vicinity and zone since public utiltities must be located where required best to serve the community. That the granting of the requested variance upon the conditions hereinafter specified will not be matel'ially detrimental to the public health or welfare, or injurious to property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. That due to the growth of the area, the increased demand for tele- phone service and anticipated further need therefor, it is abso- lutely necessary that applicant expand and enlarge its facilities. That the granting of the requested variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity in that applicant: has lawfully invested exceptional sums not only in the development of its facilities at said location but likewise in the installation of related facilities in connection therewith. That the relocation of said facilities to a new location is totally unfeasible particularly in view of the cost of the relocating of the related facilities. That the granting of the requested variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan particu- larly in view of the commercial development of the adjacent Santa Anita properties in this area. -2- 3546 SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, a variance is hereby granted to permit the construction of a two-story addition thirty-seven (37) feet in height on Lots 7 and 8, Block I, Tract No. 101, hereinabove described, and the use of Lot 9 of said block and tract for automobile parking required in conjunction with the build- ing on Lots 7 and 8, upon the following conditions: a.
