time all interested persons were given a full opportun1t, to be
beard and to present ev1dence.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City PlanniTlg Commiss1on of the C1ty
of Arcad1a does hereby find, determ1De and resolve as follows:
That theI'e were no protests against the granting ot the
va.r1ance l'equested, that the Rancho Santa An1ta, Inc., Buron Fitts
and the Los Angeles Turf Club, as owners of large parcels of pro-
perty 1n the vic1D1 ty filed with th1s Commission thelr written
consent to and approval of the granting of the variance requested,
the latter consent predicated upon the imposition of certain oon-
ditions as therein recommended.
That subject property lies between a triangle formed by
the intersection ot two major heav111' travelled veh1cu1ar arterials,
and is situated d1rectly across .from the Santa Anita Race Track
and part1cularly aoross from the large parking lot thereof.
That the size and shape of the property, 1ts locat1on
between two major traffic arterials and its prox1m1t1' to the Race
Track and the parking lot thereof and 1 till prox1m1 ty to other com-
mercial uses are exceptional c1rcumstances that do not app1, gener-
ally to the property in the same zone and warrant the granting of
the variance hereinafter recommened.
That tbe granting of the variance as hereinafter recommend-
ed w111 not be injurious or detrimental to other properties or
improvements in the same vleinity and zone; that the granting
of the variance 1s reasonably necessary for the preservation of
substantial property rights of the owners; that the granting of
the variance hereinafter reeommended will not be materially
detr1mental to nor will it adversely affect the eomprehensive
general pltUl.
Th>.t t for the forcgoine; reasons this Co!ll!ll1ss:ton recommends
to the City Council a varie.nce be granted to permit the propp,rty
h~~einbefore described to be used for the construction, msintennnce
and opere. tion of' a. bungalow h':ltel, swimm1.ng pool, ge.rages nnd
