RESOLUTION NO. 3356
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
DENYING A CHANGE OF ZONE OF CERTAIN
PROPERTY ON DUARTE ROAD AND HOLLY
AVENUE AND GRANTING A VARIANCE TO
PERMIT SAID PROPERTY ON DUARTE ROAD
TO BE USED FOR ANY R-3 PURPOSE UNDER
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
DOES HEREBY DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Planning Commission did, on its
own mo~ion, initiate proceedings pursuant to Resolution No. 396
for the purpose of considering and making recommendations concern-
ing the reclassification from Zone R-I to Zone R-3 or to some more
restrictive zone, of property on the north and south sides of Duarte
Road between Holly and Baldwin Avenues and of two lots facing on
Holly Avenue, pursuant to which a public hearing thereon was duly
held by and before said Commission on January 10, 1961, at which
hearing all interested persons were given full opportunity to be
heard and to present evidence. That on January 24, 1961, said
City Planning Commission adopted its certain Resolution No. 403,
wherein and whereby it made certain recommendations for the various
parcels of property above described. That after notice duly given
as required by law the Council did on February 20, 1961, hold a
public hearing on said matter, at which time all interested persons
were given full opportunity to be heard.
SECTION 2. That owners of or representatives for the
properties on Duarte Road hereinafter described in this section
requested that their properties remain in the present R-l Zone
classification; that although general principles of planning might
indicate the reclassification would be desirable at this time,
-l-
3356
placing said property in a less restrictive zone contrary to the
wishes of the owners at this time would serve little useful pur-
pose. That for the foregoing reasons the following described real
property in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, should
remain in and the same is hereby reestablished as property in Zone
R-l, to wit:
Parcel I. The east one-half of Lot 43, Tract
No. 3430, as shown on map recorded in Book 42,
page 300f Maps, records of said County.
)
Parcel 2. Lots 1 to 4 inclusive and the north
60 feet of Lot 5, Tract No. 8487, as shown on
map recorded in Book 114, page 4~ of Maps,
records of said County.
SECTION 3. That the parcels of property hereinafter in
this section described are zoned, developed and used for church
purposes and no useful purpose would be served by changing the
R-2 zoning at this time. That for the foregoing reason the follow-
ing described real property in the County of Los Angeles, State
of California, should remain in and the same is hereby reestablished
as property in Zone R-2, to wit:
Parcell. The west 170 feet of that portion of
Lot 1, Tract No. 4090 as shown on map recorded
in Book 43, page 4~ of Maps, records of said
County, lying north of the north line of Tract
No. 6548, as shown on map recorded in Book 82,
page 45, of Maps, records of said County.
~
Parcel 2. The east 436 feet of that portion
of Lot I, Tract No. 4090, as shown on map ,
recorded in Book 43, page 47, of Maps, records
of said County, lying north of the north line
of Tract No. 6548, as shown on map recorded in
Book 82, page 45, of Maps, ,records of said
County, and west of Holly Avenue (60 feet wide),
excepting therefrom the south 200 feet of the
east 277 feet thereof.
SECTION 4. That under a variance and a special use
permit, one lot hereinafter described has been completely de-
veloped as a mortuary and ,no further zoning relief is necessary
at this time. That for the foregoing reason, the following
property in the County of Los Angeles, State of California,
-2-
3356
should remain in Zone R-I, to wit:
Lot 44, Tract No. 3430, per map recorded in
Book 42, page 32, of Maps, records of said
County.
SECTION 5. That except for churches and schools which
are a necessary incident to residential areas, Holly Avenue from
Duarte Road to the southerly city limits is zoned for single
family residences. That this exclusive residential character
should be maintained and for that reason the following described
property in the County of Los Angeles, state of California,
should remain in its present R-l classification, to wit:
'The south 200 feet of the east 277 feet of that
portion of Lot 1, Tract No. 4090, as shown on
map recorded in Book 43, page 47, of Maps, records
of said County, lying north of the north line of
Tract No. 6548, as shown on map recorded in Book
82, page 45 of Maps, records of said County, and
west of Holly Avenue (60 feet wide).
SECTION 6. That no owner of any portion of the property
described in Section 7 hereinafter expressed a desire to have his
or her property reclassified to any zone less than Zone R-3, and
all owners thereof who expressed themselves, either orally or in
writing, insisted upon R-3 zoning. That subject property is
bounded on the north by the rear of lots facing Fairview Avenue
presently zoned R-3j that properties from the westerly end of
subject property to the westerly side of Baldwin Avenue are zoned
for and developed to commercial uses. That although Duarte Road
is a main East-West thoroughfare permitting even truck travel,
portions of subject property are improved with beautiful churches,
and Duarte Road east of subject property contains the Holly Avenue
School, the Arcadia High School, the Arcadia City Library and some
very fine single family residences. That although subject prop-
erty by reason of its proximity to commercial properties on the
west and its location upon a heavily travelled street is not
-3-
3356
ideally suited for single family dwellings, its proximity to a
fine residential area, chu~ches, schools and public buildings
through and to which Duarte Road serves as a principal means of
access requires the preservation to a reasonable degree of a
residential atmosphere and less density of dwelling construction
than would otherwise be proper.
SECTION 7. That for the foregoing reasons a variance
from the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance is hereby granted so
as to permit the following described property in the County of Los
Angeles, State of California:
Parcell. Lots 45 to 55 inclusive, Tract No.
3430, as shown on map recorded in Book 42,
page 32, of Maps, records of said CountYJ
Parcel 2. Lot 2 and that portion of Lot I, Tract
No. 4090, as shown on map recorded in Book 43,
page 47, of Maps, records of said County, lying
north of the north line of Tract No. 6548, as
shown on map recorded in Book 82, page 45, of
Maps, records of said County, and west of Holly
Avenue (60 feet wide) excepting therefrom the
