THEREFORE, the City PlaIllling Commission does hereby find. determine and resolve as follows: SECTION 1. That there were protests to the !,;I'anting cf the requested zone change, including persons signing the petition :l,'oI' tlJ." change; that the principal basis of the protests was the. increase of traffic congestion and the impairment of the adjacent single-family residential area. That contrary to the petition, much adjacent territory is zoned R-l or R-2 rather than R-3 and most of the subject property is already improved as presently permitted. Th~over 5% of the City of Arcadia by area is already zonedR-3. That this is twice the national average and more than _ twice the average in metropolitan Los Angeles and more than eight times the percentage of R-3 zoning in surrounding communities. That since the bulk of the subject property is already substan- tially developed to R-1 and R-2 uses presently permissible. the requested reclassification, if granted. would result at best in sporadic but spotty R-3 development, and the possible reconversion ~ v..Y ,I t' - 1 - 14-8 ~ ~ . to . . . ..
