NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COI'IMISSION HEREBY DETER-
MINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. That there was only one written protest against
the granting of the variance and no one appeared to orally rrotest
it; that one resident in the neighborhood spoke in favor of the vari-
.
ance; that there has been a variance for the requested purpose on
subject property since 1950, with little or no complaint from SUI'-
roundtng residents. That there have been few chanees in the facts
and Circumstances as found to exist on March 25, 1952, as determined
~
by this Conunission under its Resolution No. 03.
SECTION 2. That the property involved is located on a

busy thoroughfare; the adjoining property on the west is unimproved
and is not likely to be improved in the near future under the require-
ments of Zone R-l in which it is located; tllat these circumstances
do not apply generally to property in the same zone, but do apply to
properties similarly situated on Las T11nas Drive. That such vari-
ance is necessary for the preservation and en:oyment of substantial
property rights of the applicant. That the granting of the variance ~
hereinafter recommended will !lot be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such
vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
SECTION 3. That subject property was improved for and is
still llsable as a Single family residence; that all properties
within the block east of subject property on both sides of the street
are developed for and used solely as single family residences. That
most improvements wit~n the same block but west of subject property
have been of a commercial type. That the granting of a permanent
variance at this time, as requested by applicant, would be premature,
but should await the fUl'!ti1er development of other proPerties within
the block west of subject property.
SECTION 4. That the granting of the variance for the
period hereinafter recommended will not be inconsistent with Good
planning practice or the provisions of the master zonin8 plan, or
with the present development of the neiGhborhood in which said prop-
erty is located, nor will the granting of the variance as hereinafter
rec~nmended adversely affect the comprehensive general plan.
SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis-
sion recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a
variance be granted to permit the operation of a children's day
nursery for not over twenty pupils at 530 West Las Tunas Drive for
a period of five years, on the property hereinabove described.
SECTION 6. The Secreta~J shall certify to the adortion
Resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the
