SECTION 3. That the use or property for public utilities
~ such as that for which the variance is herein requested is by its
very nature an exceptional circumstance applicable to the intended
use of the property that does not apply generally to the class of
use in the same vicinity and zone and such public utilities must be
located where required in order to serve a community. That the grant-
ing of the requested variance as hereinafter recommended will not be
materially detrimental to the public health or welfare, or injurious
to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. That such
variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a sub-
stantial property right of the applicant possessed by other property
in the same zone and in the vicinity for the reason that variances
have been granted to neighboring properties to permit and promote
their proper use and development; that the granting of the requested
~ variance as hereinafter recommended will not adversely affect the
comprehensive general plan.
SECTION lj,. That tor the foregoing l'easons, this Commis-
sion recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a
