NOW, THEREFORE. THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That subject property is a lot 50 feet by 145 feet, ,presently zoned C-2. That the lot is developed with two build- inga, one of which is frame and used as an auto repair shop.

That subje.ct property lies between the Santa Fe main-line railroad and the Foothill Freeway soon to be constructed, and within the area under study for a light manufacturing zone. That the fore- going const~tute exceptional circumstances applicable to the prop- erty involved that do not apply generally to the property in the same ,zone. That the granting of the requested variance will not be materially detrimental to the property or class of use in the same zone or vic~nity. That subject property is in a transitional area, and the temporary use of the limited purpose structure for reason- able purposes available is necessary for the preservation and en- joyment of a substantial property right of applicant possessed by other property ~n the same zone and vicin~ty. That the granting of the requested variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. SECTION 2. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis- sion recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a variance be granted for a period of two years to permit the use of the above property for light manufacturing and assembly as proposed by applicant upon the following conditions: a. That the west 10 feet of Lot 36, Santa Anita Tract be dedicated for street purposes to become a part of First Avenue. b. That the variance be limited to a period of two (2) years from and after the date of approval thereof by the City Coun- cil; provided, however, that upon written application made prior to such expiration, this Commission may recommend and the City Council make grant an extension thereof without the necessity of further hear- ~ngs or notice. SECTION 3. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a copy of the same to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia. -2- 452 . i" . . . . .
