RESOLUTION NO. 189 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE DENIAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF ZONE FROM ZONE C-2 TO ZONE M-l AFFECTING CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY IN SAID CITY WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission on April 1, 1955, the petition of Reuben V. Senior and others, as owners, for a change of zone classification from Zone C-2 to Zone M-l on the following described real property: Portions of Lots 68 and 69, Santa Anita Colony, as shown on map recorded in Book 42, page 87, Miscellaneous Records of Los Angeles County, described as follows: . Beginning at the intersection of the north line of Live Oak Avenue with the east line of the right of way of the Los Angeles County Flood Control District; thence northwest along the east line of said right of way to a point 164.37 feet south of the south line of Las Tunas Drive; thence east parallel with Las Tunas Drive 117.04 feet; thence south 5.63 feet; thence east 147.52 feet; thence north 70 feet; thence east along a line parallel with and 100 feet south of the south line of that portion of Las ~lnas Drive adjacent to lot 68, and along the easterly pro- longation of said parallel line to the east line of the west 351 feet of lot 6 9 (measured at right angles to the west line of said lot); thence south to the north line of Live Oak Avenue; thence west thereon to the point of beginning, being that property on the north side of Live Oak Ave- nue between the Flood Control Channel and the intersection of Live Oak Avenue and Las Tunas Drive, to be changed from Zone C-2 (General Com- mercial Zone) to Zone M-l (Light Manufacturing Zone) , and, . WHEREAS, after due notice as required by law, a public hearing was duly held on the matter by and before this Commission on April 26, 1955, at which time all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, the City Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia does hereby find, determine and resolve as follows: SECTION 1. That there were munerous protests, both - 1 - 189 . . . " . . written and oral, to the requested reclassification, and considera- ble evidence received, by and from owners and tenants of property in the area of subject property, to the effect that the requested reclassification was undesirable, unnecessary, and would be detri- mental to and depreciative of other properties in the same area. SECTION 2. That the property on the north side of Las Tunas Drive, between El Monte Avenue and Santa Anita Avenue, lying across the street from subject property, is all zoned R-3 except the northwest corner of Santa Anita Avenue which is zoned C-3. That the property on both sides of Las Tunas Avenue and Live Oak Avenue west of El Monte Avenue for many blocks is in Zone R-l. That the property on the south side of Live Oak Avenue across the street from subject property, lying between El Monte Avenue and San~Anita Avenue, is in Zone C-3 under the applicable county zoning ordinance, SECTION 3. That the requested reclassification of the subject property is not necessary for the preservation or enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicants nor would the same conform to good planning practices. That the present C-2 Zone classification of subject property is more nearly comparable with existing uses on las Tunas and with the existing C-3 Zone classifi- cation of county territory on the south side of Live Oak Avenue than an M-l Zone would be. That subject property is highly desira- ble for the uses presently permitted thereon but that it does not even approach its full development and utilization for such uses. That down grading of subject property, as requested, will not materially benefit the subject property but will only foster and perpetuate the ill advised planning and development of the area and will retard if not prevent proper development and utilization of adjacent areas. That the public welfare, convenience and neceSSity require, not the reqUested reclassification of subject property, but its stabilization under zoning presently applicable. SECTION 4. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission - 2 - 18g . . recommends to the City Council that the request of Reuben V. 4It Senior and others for reclassification from Zone C-2 to Zone M-l of the above described property be denied. SECTION 5. 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 24th day of May, 1955, by the following vote: AYES: Acker, Daly, Pratt, Robertson and Vachon NOES: None ABSENT: Bala~.(f~~ Chairman pro tern .
