WHEREAS, there were numerous applications filed with this Commission requesting zone variances for various parcels of real pro- perty on Huntington Boulevard between Baldwin Avenue and Holly Avenue, located at 722 and 728 West Huntington Boulevard and 400 to 650 West . Huntington Boulevard; and, WHEREAS, by reason of the foregoing, this Commission did, on its own motion, under and pursuant to its certain Resolution No. 246, adopted March 26, 1957, institute proceedings for the considera- tion of and making recommendations concerning the reclassification of said property from Zone R-3 to Zone C-O and Zone D, pursuant to which a public hearing was held on Tuesday, April 23, 1957, which said hear- ing was duly and regularly continued to May 14, 1957, at which time the matter was referred to the City Staff for study and report; that on May 28, 1957, the Staff recommended that Ordinance No. 760 be amended to require a 30-foot rear yard in Zone C-O instead of 20 feet, and the within matter was held in abeyance pending consideration of such change; that on June 11, 1957, this Commission instituted pro- . ceedings for the consideration of and making recommendations concern- ing such suggested amendment of rear yard requirements culminating in the adoption on November 19, 1957, of Ordinance No. 1001 amending Ordinance No. 760 by changing the rear yard requirements and making other related changes. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, RESOLVE AND RECOMMEND AS FOLLOWS: -1- 276 ,/ . . . SECTION I. That, until the adoption of Ordinance No. 900 in December of 1954, medical offices were a permitted use in an R-3 Zone; that with the amendment of Ordinance NO..760, creating Zone C-O, the location of medical offices in an R-3 Zone requires a zone vari- ance, but that property zoned C-O may be developed for any R-3 use. That the regulations of Zone D, as hereinafter recommended, will not apply to property developed to R-3 uses only. That the placing of the property hereinafter described in Zone C-O will tend to channel future medical buildings into this area near the hospital rather than to seek other locations by variance.
