NOW, THEREFORE,THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY DETER-

. .,
.
.
SECTION 1. That in addition to numerous oral protests,
. the owners of more than one hundred parcels in the general neigh-
borhood filed written protests to the requested rezoning on the
.
.
grounds that the proposed commercial uses in a residential neigh-
borhood would create noise and parking problems and would reduce
residential property values.
SECTION 2. That although the applicant, through his
attorney, requested a continuation of the hearing set for March 25,
1958, for the purpose of amending his application, no amendment was
filed in time for notices to be circulated for the hearing date of
April 22, 1958.
SECTION 3. That although Las Tunas Drive west of Baldwin
Avenue is in county territory, such adjacent county territory should
be given proper consideration when considering the rezoning of the
subject property. That Las Tunas Drive in the Temple City area is
zoned C-3 tapering down to C-2 west of Baldwin Avenue, C-I east of
Baldwin Avenue in the City of Arcadia and then into a residential
zone. That a variance for certain uses then permissible in Zone
C-2 and (other than used car sales area) now permissible in Zone
C-l which was thereafter created, was granted by Resolution No. 2319
in 1952 with respect to a portion of subject property at the south-
east corner of Las Tunas Drive and Baldwin Avenue. That a variance
for certain uses then permissible in Zone C-2 and now permissible
in Zone C-I, which was thereafter created, was granted by the City
Council by Resolution No. 2550 in 1954 with respect to a portion of
subject property; that each of said variances has expired by reason
of non-user. That in 1955, Lots 23, 24 and 25 were rezoned to C-l,
and to date the only C-l use thereof has been the construction of a
restaurant on Lot 25.
That the granting of C-2 uses on Las Tunas
,
Avenue could reasonably cause further requests
Drive east of Baldwin
for additional commercial zoning or some transitional use further
into the existing residential zone.

SECTION 4. That no exceptional or extraordinary circum-
stances were shown applicable to subject property; that no need for
C-2 zoning on this particular oorner was shown; that it does not
appear that public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good
zoning practice justify the requested zone change, but rather that
the requested change would be detrimental to the residential prop-
erty in the area.
SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis-
sion recommends to the City Council that the request of Ralph D.
Stogsdill for a change of zone be denied.
SECTION 6. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of
this Resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded 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
27th day of
May ,1958, by the following vote:
AYES: Commissioners Acker, Forman, Pratt and Robertson
NOES: None
