NOW, THEREFORE, the City Planning Commission of the City
of Aroadia, Oalifornia, dOBS hereby determine and resolve as
tollows:
SECTION 1. That there were no protests to the granting
of the varianoe requested. That the only person appearing other
than in support of the application was the owner of adJaoent
property who requested that adequate fencing be plaoed between his
property and subJeot property.
SEOTION 2. That for many years applicant has been the
owner of extsnsive properties located at the southeast corner of
Huntington Placs and Holly Avenue and contiguous to subject property.
That at said location applioant has. for many years, lawfully
maintained and operated a church and parochial achoo~ and facilities
incidental thereto. That said properties and improvements are both
extensive and expensive. That the tremendous growth of population
1n the Oity of Arcadia has caused a proportionate growth in the
needs of and att.endanoe at applicant's facilities. That the vsry
nature of applicant's aotivity reqUires the 10oation of all needed
faoilities at one general location. The foregoing oonstitute
exoeptional oonditions applicable to the intended use of the subject
property and do not apply generally to the olass of uses in the same
vioinity and zone.
SECTION'. That the variance requested is neoessary for
the preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property right
Of the applioant possessed by other property in the same vicinity
and zone. That subject property has no aocess to publio streets
other than across other property of applicant already improved for
and irrevooably dedioated to the uses for which a variance is
requested herein. That applicant is engaged solely 1n religious,
educational and charitable purposes at adjacent location and may
use subJeot property only for such purposes.

SECTION 4. That the granting of the variance requested
will not be materially detrimental to pUblic welfare, nor
injurious to the property or improvements in the vioinity and
zone in which the sUbJeot property is located. On the oontrary,
public welfare will better be served by allowing the orderly and
propsr planning and development of the facIlities required for
applicant's oocupation thereat. The requested varianoe will
oreate no new condition but will permit the expansion of the
present laWful uses of adJaoent properties in a manner more
benefioial to the vioinity and zone than if further expansion
were limited to the original properties previously used for such
uses.
SECTION 5. That the granting of the varianoe requested
.
will not adversely affeot the oomprehensive general plan, but, on
the oontrary. permits oontinuation of present laWful and wholssome
J
uses in an orderly and well planned manner.
SECTION 6. That for the foregoing reasons, this
Commission reoommends to the City Council that the requested
six foot high
varianoe bs granted upon the oondition that ~chaln link fenoe
or masonry wall be construoted along the southerly line of such
property connecting at its easterly end with the existing fence
or wall on adjacent property of applicant; that such fence or wall
be construoted prior to the use of any portion of subject property
for other than single family residential purposes, and that suoh
fence or wall be maintained at all times subject property is used
.
for the purposes permitted by the variance hereby recommended.
SECTION 7. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution and shall oause a copy of the same to be
forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia.
I HEFlEBY CERTIFY that ths foregoing Resolution was
