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

Incorporated, as owner, signed by Marvin T. Launius, Jr., Vice

That after notice as required by the Zoning Ordinance of said City,
as amended, a public hearing was duly held on the matter by and
before said City Planning Commission July 11, 1961, at which time
all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and
to present evidence. That on August 8, 1961, said City Planning
Commission adopted its certain Resolution No. 415, wherein and
whereby it recommended the granting of the requested variance upon
specified conditions,
SECTION 2. That there were no protests, either oral or
written, to the granting of the requested variance. That subject
property is presently zoned R-2 and the lot at 745 Naomi Avenue
could be used for parking without the requested variance under
-1-
3413
- ,-
T
Section 9253.1.7 of the Arcadia Municipal Code. That the property
to the east, owned by the applicant and zoned C-2, is used for a
parking lot; to the north is a parking lot for a church; across
the street to the southeast is the parking lot for a large market;
and while the property adjoining on the west is zoned R-2, it is
the headquarters for a transfer and storage company under a non-
conforming use. That under prior ownership subject property was
used as a commercial plant nursery.
SECTION 3. That the fact that subject property is sur-
rounded by parking lots and R-2 property developed to non-conforming
commercial uses constitutes an exceptional circumstance applicable
to subject property which does not apply generally to other proper-
ties zoned R-2 in the neighborhood, and the requested variance is
necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial prop-
erty right possessed by other properties in the same zone and
vicinity. That the granting of the requested variance under the
conditions hereinafter recommended will not be detrimental to the,
public health or welfare, will not be inconsistent with good plan-
ning or with the present or prospective development of the neigh-
borhood in which the'property is located, but rather will foster
the development of the area by providing needed additional parking
facilities.
SECTION 4. That for the foregoing reasons, a variance
is hereby granted to permit the use of the property at 745 and 751
West Naomi Avenue hereinabove described as a public automobile
parking area upon the following conditions:
a. That a concrete block wall be constructed along the
west property line, the front twenty-five (25) feet thereof to be
four (4) feet high and the remainder to be six (6) feet high;

tions and to grades approved by the Director of Public Works;

erty and owned by applicant;
