RESOLUTION NO. 290 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE GRANTING OF A ZONE VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITIONAL DWELLING AT 535 WEST LEMON AVENUE. WHEREAS, there was filed with this Cow~issi.n on April 2, 1958, the application of Richard M. and Norma G. Canzoneri, as own- ers, for a zone variance to permit the erection of one additional 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 west 71.41 feet of the south 234.33 feet of Lot 48, Tract No. 4869, per map recorded in Book 52, page 13, of Maps, records of said County, located at 535 West Lemon 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 opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING CO!'l[]'-1ISSION HEREBY DETER- MINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That there were no protests, either oral or . written to the granting of the variance; that many of the immediate neighbors in writing approved the granting of the petition and sev- eral spoke in favor of it. SECTION 2. That subject property was purchased in r~y of 1957 with the intention of constructing an additional dwelling there- immediate future; that three months later on August 20, -1- , 290 / ,.t.- . . .. . . 1957, Ordinance No. 990 was adopted which precluded construction of the additional dwelling thereon. That the foregoing constitutes an exceptional circumstance applicable to subject property and the intended use thereof that does not apply generally to the property in the same zone or vicinity. SECTION 3. That subject property contains 16,733 square feet with a depth of 234.56 feet; that properties to the rear of subject property have already been resubdivided into lots of standard width and of more than the required area and there is no practical means of resubdividing subject property so as to permit the con- struction of additional dwellings thereon. That thirteen lots on the same side of the street within the same block as subject prop- . erty have been developed to two or more dwellings; that the two lots adjacent to subject property on the west have been improved with more than one dwelling; that lots directly across the street from subject property have been improved with more than one dwelling. That within 300 feet of subject property there are twenty lots other than subject property, eleven of which or 55% thereof are now de- veloped with two or more dwellings; that the requested variance is therefore necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substan- tial property rights of the applicant possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone. SECTION 4. That the granting of the variance as herein- after recommended will not be materially detrimental to the public . welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the same vicinity and zone and will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commission recommends to the City Council that the requested variance be granted -2- 290 ....1..-.-. ,~ . . . . . to permit the erection of an additional dwelling upon the condition that the additional dwelling contain at least IOOO square feet of floor area as is required for dwellings in Zone R-l; that said addi- tional dwelling comply with all other regulations applicable to dwellings in Zone R-l, and comply substantially with the plot plan, plans and elevations submitted with the application; and that a solid masonry wall, at least five feet in height, be maintained across the rear property line; provided, however, that the continued maintenance of the existing solid masonry wall on the rear property line of the adjacent property to the rear of subject property shall be deemed compliance with this condition. SECTION 6. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and shall cause a copy of the same to be for- warded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia. I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the City Planning Commission held on the lOth day of June, 1958, by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Acker, Davison, Forman, Michler and Vachon NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioners Pratt and Robertson ~~JJ~at-. airma ----- -3- 290
