That on August 8, 1961, said City Planning Commission adopted its certain Resolution No. 417, wherein and whereby it recommended the granting of the requested variance upon specified conditions. SECTION 2. That while there were those who spoke in favor of the application and many who signed statements favoring the variance, there was also opposition to the granting of the request. -1- 3415 - - That subject property is presently zoned R-2 and is developed with five dwellings. That although property to the west and northwest is zoned R-2, the property to the northeast is zoned R-3 and C-2. That variances for commercial uses and a convalescent home have been granted on the R-l property to the east and southeast respectively and a service station is already under construction at the southwest corner of Camino Real and Baldwin Avenue. That although subject property has not been fully developed to C-2 uses, the gradual de- velopment of surrounding property to commercial uses creates excep- tional and extraordinary circumstances applicable to subject prop- erty and the requested variance is necessary for the preservation of the property rights of applicants possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity. That the granting of a variance for the development of a hotel-residence on subject property upon cer- tain conditions would not be injurious to the property and improve- ments in the neighborhood nor to the comprehensive general plan. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, a variance is hereby granted to allow the property hereinabove described to be used for the construction and maintenance thereon of a hotel~ residence for retired persons upon the following conditions: a.
