DOES DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That proceedings were duly instituted and pUblic hearings duly held by and before the City Planning Commis- sion and the City Council of the City of Arcadia, concurrent with the proceedings for the annexation to the City of Arcadia of the property hereinafter described, for the purpose of considering and making recommendat'ions concerning the granting of a special use permit for the development of natural resources. SECTION 2. That under the provision of the City Zoning Ordinance, the development of natural resources, together with the necessary buildings, apparatus or appurtenances incident thereto, is declared to be a use possessing characteristics of such unique and special form as to make impractical its being automatically included in any class of use as set forth in the various zones. That the use of property for the development of natural resources is permissible in any zone upon the granting of a special use permit therefor. SECTION 3. That this Council deems that the imposition of certain conditions is necessary in the granting of the special use permit to insu~e that the spirit and purpose of the City Zoning Ordinance will be observed, public safety and welfare secured . and substantial justiq done; that the granting of the special use -1- 3327 permit for the production of natural resources, to wit, rock, sand and gravel, upon the conditions hereinafter set forth will not be unreasonably or materially detrimental to the public health or welfare, nor injurious to the property or improvements in the vi- cinity in which the subject property is located. That the special use permit, under such specified conditions, is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. possessed by other property in the same vicinity and in the same zone. That there are -exceptional conditions applicable to the property involved and particularly to the intended use of the property that do not apply to all property in the vicinity, namely, the fact that subject property, located near the Rio Hondo, , contains a deposit of prime material of high quality for rock, sand and gravel. That the City Zoning Ordinance recognized this excep- tional condition in permitting the production of natural resources in any zone upon the granting of a special use permit therefor. That by their very nature, natural resources must be produced in their natural location and cannot be produced elsewhere. That the granting of the special use permit as hereinafter recommended will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan nor will it be adverse to the ,land use plan of the City of Arcadia. That the City Zoning Ordinance, as and when adopted, stated in part that "The City Planning Commission and the City Council recognize, and hereby de- clare, that the City of Arcadia is a component part of a large metropolitan area, within which larger areas are contained facili- ties which in amount, location, physical characteristics and available services are preeminently suited for use by industrial enterprises; . . . that should the City of Arcadia, by provisions of this ordinance or subsequent ordinances, make no actual provision for the location of heavy industries, such determination will not constitute prohibition, but rather would conform to comprehensive -2- 3327 regulation on the metropolitan area basis." That subject property was not a part of the City of Arcadia at the time of such decla- ration nor at'the time of the adoption of said Zoning Ordinance but constituted a part of the adjacent unincorporated metropolitan area contemplated thereby.
