.
All those portions of said lots bounded on the

WHEREAS, after due notice as required by law, a public

SECTION 1. That there were numerous protests, both
written and oral, to the requested reclassification, and considera-
ble evidence received, by and from owners and tenants ot 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.
SEC'TION 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

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 Santa Anita Avenue. is in
Zone C-3 under the applicable county zoning ordinances.
SECTION 3. That the requested reclassification of the sub-
ject property is not necessary for the preservation or enjoyment of
substantial property rights of the appllcanmnor would the same con-
form to good planning practices. That subject property does not even
approach its full utilization for uses presently permitted; that its
full development and utilization have been retarded by the poorly
planned and ill advised useage of the area by the owners and tenants
thereof. That subject property is highly desirable for the uses
presently permitted thereon and that it can be economically and profit-
ably used for such purposes if the owners and tenants would pro~erly
plan its use and development. That down grading of subject pro~erty
as requested will not materially benefit the subject property but will
only foster and perpetuate the ill advised planning and development
of the ares, as in the past;will retard if not prevent proper develop-
ment and utilization of adjacent areas, and will further depreciate
desirable properties in the adjacent area. "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
recommends to the City Council that the request of Reuben V. 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 p.lanning Commission held on the
