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 April 25, 196~, the application of Ralph G. and Vir- ginia S. Rose, as owners, for a zone variance to permit the con- struction of a new dwelling on the front portion of the lot, and to retain the existing dwelling on the rear portion of the lot at 535 East Camino Real in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, described as follows: The west 96.92 feet of the east 184.92 feet of the south one-half of Lot 58, Tract No. 808, as shown on map recorded in Book 16, pages 82 and 83, 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 May 9, 1961, which hearing was duly continued to May 23, 1961, at each of which times all in- terested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. That on June 13, 1961, said City Planning Com- mission adopted its certain Resolution No. 411, wherein and where- by it recommended the granting of the requested variance upon speci- fied conditions. SECTION 2. That there were no protests to the granting of the proposed variance, either oral or written, and while no one -1- 3398 ~ '. other than applicants appeared to speak in favor of the variance, owners of five surrounding properties to the east, north and west signed consent to the granting of the variance. That although the existing house and garage on the rear of the lot do not meet all the requirements of the present Building Code, a report from the Chief Building Inspector stated that minor wiring, roofing, paint- ing and proper venting of the kitchen range would put the house and garage in as good a condition as other small structures built in Arcadia in 1939. That plans for the proposed new house indicate it will have approximately 1800 square feet and that there is ample room on the lot for it to meet all yard requirements. SECTION 3. That although the property is located in an R-1 Zone, the lot contains 20,959 square feet which is considerably more area than the area required for two houses in such zone. That of the four lots facing Camino Real in this block, two of the lots now have two houses each. That the only Zone R-l requirement for two houses which this lot does not meet is that no portion of it has been resubdivided; that because of the size, shape and location of the lot, resubdivision thereof is impracticable. That the fore- gOing constitutes an exceptional circumstance applicable to subject property which does not apply generally to other properties in the same zone, and the requested variance is necessary for the preser- vation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity. That the granting of the variance under the conditions hereinafter recommended will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare, and will not be inconsistent with good planning practice or with the present or prospective development of the neighborhood in which the property is located, but rather will increase the value of the property and upgrade the area. -2- 3398 ~ . SECTION 4. That for the foregoing reasons, a variance is hereby granted to allow the construction of a new dwelling on the front portion of the property at 535 East Camino Real and to retain the existing dwelling on the rear portion of the lot upon the following conditions: a. That minor wiring repairs and proper venting of the kitchen range be made to the satisfaction of the Building Inspector. b. That the roof be recovered and the building be re- painted. SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution.
