WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission on March 31, 1958, the application of Philip C. Cain and Kathleen F. Cain, as owners, for a zone variance to permit the erection of one addi- tional dwelling on the rear portion of the following described property in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, state of California, to wit: . The north 90 feet of the south 190 feet of the west 220 feet of Lot 29, Tract No. 808, as shown on map recorded in Book 16, pages 82 and 83, of Maps, Records of said County, located at 1320 South Second Avenue; and, WHEREAS, after notice required by Ordinance No. 760 of said City, as amended, a public hearing was duly held on the matter by and before this Commission on the 22nd day of April, 1958, which hearing was duly continued to May 13, 1958, at each-of which times all interested persons were given a full opport;uni ty to be heard and to present evidence; .' NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY DETER- MINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: ... SECTION 1. That there were protests" both written and oral, to the granting of the variance on the g:rounds that although subject property is a large lot, it is in a neighborhood with many expenSive single dwellings; that the construction of a rental on the rear of the property would deteriorate the value of the single resi- dences in the neighborhood, and would not be c(lmpatible with the t., h-" 'J' J It' .~ . 291 -l- (,' .- --. ? ...... . . . construction in the area. That subject property was owned by appli- cant for some three years during most of which t:lme applicant could have built an additional dwelling, as could have owners of other lots in the same vicinity; that very few lots in the vicinity were so de- veloped, and applicant's property was not used to its fullest extent during said period of time. SECTION 2. That it was not shown that there are excep- tional circumstances applicable to subject property, nor that the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substan- tial property rights of the applicant possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone. That the granting of the requested var- iance would be injurious to property and improvements in the same vicinity and zone and would adversely affect the comprehensive gen- . eral plan. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing re~~sons, this Commission recommends to the City Council that the requested variance for the construction of an additional dwelling at 1320 South Second Avenue be denied. SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and shall cause a copy of the same to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia.
