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 November 15, 1962, the application of Ethlyn Grobmeier,
as owner, for a change of zone from Zone R-2 to Zone C-2 and D
(Architectural Overlay) on property located at 423, 425, 433 and
435 East Duarte Road in the City of Arcadia, described as follows:
Those portions of Lot 1 of Tract No. 3522 in
the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles,
State of California, per map recorded in Book
38, Page 27, of Maps in the office of the
County Recorder of said County described as
follows:
Parcell. Beginning at a point in the easterly
line of said Lot 1, distant southerly thereon
224.78 feet from the northeasterly corner of
said lot; thence westerly parallel with the
northerly line of said lot, 112.5 feet; thence
southerly parallel with said easterly line of
said lot to a point in the southerly line
thereof; thence easterly along said southerly
line of said lot to the southeasterly corner

72.72 feet, more or less, to a point distant

,
line thereof; thence North 80035' East along
said southerly line to a point which bears
South 0028' East from said true point of
beginning; thence North 0028' West along said
line so bearing to the true point of beginning.
EXCEPT the east 30 inches thereof, said 30 inch
strip of land being shortened or extended to
terminate in the northerly and southerly line of
above described real property.
That after notice required by the Zoning Ordinance of said City,
as amended, a public hearing was duly held on said matter by and
before said City Planning Commission on January 8, 1963, which
hearing was duly continued to January 22, 1963, at each of which
times all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be
heard and to present evidence. That the City Planning Commission
thereon adopted its certain Resolution N~. 470 wherein and whereby
it made findings and determinations and recommended the denial
of the requested zone change. That thereafter, after notice duly
given, a public hearing on said matter was held by and before this
City Council on April 16, 1963 at which time all interested persons
were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence.
SECTION 2. That subject properties are located in a
block every lot of which is zoned R-2 and used exclusively for
residential purposes. That properties on the south side of Duarte
Road from Fifth Avenue to a point west of Third Avenue are in Zone
R-l and used exclusively for that purpose. That there is no com-
mercial zoning or commercial use of land on the north and south
sides of Duarte Road from the Arcadia City boundary at Fifth Avenue
to a point west of Third Avenue. That every lot between Third Avenue
and Fifth Avenue from Duarte Road to California Street is zoned R-2
the same as Bubject property, and every lot between Third

'. '
Avenue and Fifth Avenue south of Duarte Road all the way to Camino
Real is zoned R-l.
SECTION 3. That the requested application, if granted,
would constitute objectionable spot zoning and is not justified
by good zoning practice, public necessity, convenience or general
welfare. That subject property is located adjacent to the easterly
city boundary. That somewhat to the east of the city boundary there
is some commercial development in another city. That this fact
alone neither justifies nor requires the requested reclassification
of subject property. That if commercial encroachment into purely
residential zones is to be prevented, this can best be accomplished
at the city boundary.
SECTION 4. That subject property with respect to its
zoning, use and alleged incipient deterioration, is no different
than any other property in the general area. That although the
reclassification to some less restricted zone of subject property
or of the properties surrounding might tend to revitalize and re-
develop the area, subject property alone should in no event be
singled out for reclassification. That reclassification to some-
thing more restrictive than Zone C-2 might likewise tend to re-
vitalize the area and might be better justified by good zoning
practice. That what area should be reclassified and into what zone
such area should be placed are matters that can be properly deter-
mined only by an intensive study of the entire area.
SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons the requested
reclassification of the above described property should be and the
same is hereby denied, without prejudice however to any future con-
sideration of said or any similar application after completion of an
intensive study of the entire area of which subject property is but
a part.
