RESOLUTION NO. 449 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE GRANTING OF A ZONE VARIANCE FOR A DAY NURSERY AT 530 WEST LAS TUNAS DRIVE IN SAID CITY. . WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission on the 3rd day of May, 1962, the application of Dorothy M. Stevens, as owner, for a zone variance to permit an extension of the presently existing zone variance to allow the conduct of a children's day nursery upon the following described property located at 530 West Las Tunas Drive in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, to wit: Lot 28, Tract No. 6641, as shown on map recorded in Book 126, page 67, of Maps, Records of said County; and, WHEREAS, after notice required by the Zoning Ordinance of said City, as amended, a public hearing was duly held on said matter by and before this Commission on the 22nd day of May, 1962, at which time all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; . NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY , . DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That subject property is a lot 75 feet wide and 250 feet deep, presently zoned R-l. Th~t the lot on the east is used for residentia~ purposes and the lots at the rear are residential, but the lot on the west is zoned PR-3and is next to Sugar's Cafe. That this is the fourth time a variance for a chil- dren's day nursery has been requested of this Commission. TLlat the City Council by Resolution 2066, adopted September 19, 1950; by -1- 449 ,/ . . . . . Resolution No. 2230, adopted April 1, 1952; and by Resolution 2912, adopted August 6, 1957, granted and extended the variance for a children's nursery on said property; that the variance granted by Resolution No. 2912, expires in August of 1962. SECTION 2. That the fact that subject property is on a busy street and adjoining commercial property constitutes excep- ~n~l or extraordinary circumstances or conditions that do not gen- erally apply to residential property. That the development of the property for a day nursery with fencing and amusement devices for small children and that the fact that the Zoning Ordinance makes no prOVision for the operation of a nursery school makes a variance necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial prop- erty right of the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone and vicnity. SECTION 3. The location of subject property on the periphery of a residential area and next to a neighborhood shopping center makes the granting of such variance not detrimental to public health or welfare nor injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity; and that such use serves as a buffer between residential and commercial property. That the granting of the ~e- quested variance for a period of five years will not adversely af- fect the comprehensive general plan. That the rezoning, develop- ment and use of properties west of subject property which has oc- curred since the granting of the prior variance for the same pur- pose on subject property only further supports and strengthens the reasons heretofore existing for the granting of the requested variance. SECTION 4. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commission recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a variance be granted for a period of five years to permit the use of the above described property for a day nursery. -2- 449 / . . . .
