A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
DENYING A REQUESTED VARIANCE TO
ALLOW PROPERTY AT 39 AND 43 CHRISTINA
STREET IN SAID CITY TO BE USED AS A
HOME FOR PAYING GUESTS OVER SIXTY-
FIVE YEARS OF AGE,
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 July 13, 1961, the application of George W. Gilbert
as owner and C. M. Rhodes, as lessee, for a zone variance to per-
mit the use for housing, dining and recreation of paying guests
over sixty-five years of age of property at 39 and 43 Christina
Street in said City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of
California, described as follows:
Lot 19 and' the east 6.05 feet of Lot 20,
Tract No. 13252, as shown on map recorded
in Book 345, pages 6, 7 and '8, of Maps,
records of said County.
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 on July 25, 1961, at which
time all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be
heard and to present evidence. That on August 8, 1961, said City
Planning Commission adopted its certain Resolution No. 416, wherein
and whereby it recommended the denial of the requested variance.
SECTION 2. That there were numerous ,protests, both oral
and written, to the granting of the variance on the grounds that
the proposed use of the property would be commercial and thereby
depreciate the value of the residential property on the aouth side
of Christina Street. That only those with a financial interest in
the proposed project spoke in favor of it.

SECTION 3. That subject property is zoned R-3 with an
alley at the rear; that the R-3 zoning was established to provide
a buffer between the commercial zoning of property on the north
facing on Duarte Road and the R-2 residential property on the south
side of Christina Street. That the property to the west is also
zoned R-3 and developed with apartment houses. That the property
between Santa Anita Avenue and First Avenue extending south from
Christina Street is zoned R-l and so developed. That property to
the east is a parking lot, with a church on the south side of
Christina Street. That subject property is developed for R-3 uses
and there are nO exceptional or extraordinary circumstances appli-
v
cable to subject property nor is the requested variance necessary
for the preservation of any property right of the applicant pos-
sessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity. That the
establishment of R-3 zoning between commercial and residential
zoning has long been considered good plannin~ practice; that to
allow a variance for a commercial enterprise would not only be
injurious to the property and improvements in the neighborhood
but to the comprehensive general plan.
SECTION 4. That for the foregoing reasons the request
for a variance to permit the ,property at 39 and 43 Christina Street
in the City of Arcadia for the housing, dining and recreation of
paying guests is hereby denied.
SECTION 5. 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 5th day of September, 1961, by the affirmative
vote of at least three Councilmen, to wit:
