RESOLUTION NO. 3257
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
DENYING AN APPLICATION FOR A ZONE
VARIANCE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND
OPERATION OF A TRAMPOLINE CENTER AT
910-912 SOUTH SANTA ANITA AVENUE IN
SAID CITY.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES
FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That there was filed with the City Planning
Commission on February 4, 1960, the application of Charles L. Baca
and Robert P. Mahoney, as lessees, for a zone variance to permit
the establishment and operation of a trampoline center at 910-912
South Santa Anita Avenue upon the fOllowing described property in
the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, to
wit:
Lot 3, Block 3, Tract No. 101, as shown on map
recorded in Book 13, page 52, of Maps, records
of said County.
That after notice as required by Ordinance No. 760 of said City, as
amended, a public hearing was duly held by and before said Commis-
sion on the 23rd day of February, 1960, which hearing was continued
to March 8, 1960, and still further continued to March 22, 1960, at
each of which times all interested persons were given a full oppor-
tunity to be heard and to present evidence; that on April 12, 1960,
said Commisston adopted its certain Resolution No. 369, wherein and
whereby certain findings, determinations and, recommendations were
made.
SECTION 2. That although there was but one written pro-
test to the granting of the variance, the only people speaking in
favor of it were those interested financially in the project. That
while the lot is in a C-2 zone, the plan submitted for fourteen
-1-

trampolines would not leave sufficient parking space on subject
property to fill the need for off-street parking in connection with
such a trampoline center.
SECTION 3. That it was not shown that there are excep-
tional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
subject property that do not apply generally to other property in
the same zone or vicinity; nor that the requested variance is neces-
sary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property
right of the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone
, or vicinity. That it was not shown that the granting of the variance
would' not be injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity
in which the property is located, but rather that its location within
a block of the proposed new library facilities would create an at-
mosphere of an amusement center rather than an educational or cul-
tural atmosphere appropriate to the area.
SECTION 4. That it was not shown that the granting of the
variance would not be materially detrimental to the public health
or welfare. Rather it was brought out at the hearings that there
are hazards involved in this type of recreation; that certain cities
have established requirements and restrictions to be imposed upon
such trampoline centers; that trampoline centers for use by the gen-
eral public are a new type of recreation facility, and it has not
yet been determined precisely 'what regulations are necessary for
the protection of the patrons of a trampoline center; that until
such determinations are made and such necessary regulations im-
posed, such type of recreational facility will be detrimental to
the public health and welfare.
SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons, the applica-
tion of Charles L. Baca and Robert P. Mahoney for a zone variance
-2-

to permit the establishment and operation of a trampoline center at
910-912 South Santa Anita Avenue on the property hereinabove de-
scribed be and the same is hereby denied.

this resolution.
