SECTION 2. That there are exceptional circumstances ap-
plicable to the intended use of the property that do not apply gen-
erally to the class of uses in the same vicinity and zone. That
applicant is a recognized youth organization of unquestioned char-
acter and inestimable worth to the community. That the nature of
applicant's work is necessarily with the youth of the community,
involving children of school age, and requires that its facilities
be located in close proximity to the schools of the community and
in residential rather than commercial or quasi-commercial areas.
SECTION 3. That such variance is necessary for the pres-
ervation and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the appli-
cant possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone. Ap-
plicant is dedicated and devoted to the service of the youth of the
community and has no other lawful use for its property other than
that for which the variance is herein requested.
SECTION 4. That the granting of the variance requested
will not be materially detrimental to the publiC welfare or injuri-
ous to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in
which the subject property is located. On the contrary, the granting
of the variance will be beneficial to the public welfare, and the
improvement of the property for applicant's activities and the con-
duct of its activities thereon will not be injurious to the prop-
erty or improvements in the vicinity and zone.
SECTION 5. That the granting of the variance requested
will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. That the
nature of applicant's work makes the location of its facilities in
a residential zone adjacent to school facilities essential, and
such location is in furtherance of rather than contrary to the com-
prehensive general plan.
SECTION 6. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis-
recommends to the City Council that the requested variance be

after the completion of the structure erected by authority of the
variance hereby recommended.

of this Resolution and shall cause a copy of the same to be for-
warded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia.
