That on April 12, 1960, said Commission adopted its certain Resolu- tion No. 370, wherein and whereby certain findings, determinations and recommendations were made. SECTION 2. That there were numerous, oral protests to the granting of the requested zone variance and/or special use permit, all from neighboring property owners. That only the attorney for applicants and, a member of the American College for Hospital Adrninis- trators spoke in favor of the application. -1- 3258 ! SECTION 3. That subject application is a revision of a previous request denied by the Planning Commission on November 10, 1959 by its Resolution No. 350 and later denied by this Council on December 15, 1959, by Resolution No. 3199. That although this ap- plication does show architectural changes that would make the build- ing more desirable and allow for more parking, the basic reasons for denying the previous application still remain. That the question is not whether the plans presented are desirable and whether there is need for more convalescent facilities in Arcadia, but rather the use of property at the particular location for the purpose of a convalescent home. SECTION 4. That it was not shown in connection with the previous application that there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other property in the same zone or vicinity, nor that such variance and/or special use permit is necessary for ~he preservation and en- joyment of a substantial property right of the applicant po'ssessed by other property in the same zone or vicinity. That it has not now been shown that there is any change in the conditions appli- cable to subject property that would cause exceptional or extra- ordinary circumstances or make necessary the granting of any such variancesibr protection of property rights. SECTION 5. That it has not been shown that the granting of the requested variance would not be detrimental to property or improvements in the neighborhood or would not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. On the other hand, the 'granting of a variance and/or special use permit for a convalescent home at the above location at a time when the rezoning of Annexation 14 and Annexation 17-A is under consideration by this Council could well -2- 3258 be materially detrimental and injurious to the property and improve- ments in the vicinity in which subject property is located; and at a time when the widening of Baldwin Avenue 'is being planned to handle peak periods of vehicular travel between freeways, would undoubtedly affect the comprehensive general plan. ' SECTION 6. That for the foregoing reasons, the application of Sophia P. Johnson and Orlando Clarizio for a zone variance and/or special use permit to allow the construGtion and operation of a 57-bed convalescent home on the property hereinabove described, be and the same is hereby denied. SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution.
