RESOLUTION NO. 444
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE GRANTING
OF A 'ZONE VARIANCE TO ALLOW A SECOND
DWELLING AT 931 SOUTH EIGHTH AVENUE.
WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission on the 12th
day of March, 1962, the application of Saeed E. Murad and Gloria H.
B. Murad as owners for a zone variance to allow a second dwelling
on property located at 931 South Eighth Avenue in the City of
Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, state of California, described as
follows:
The south 87.5 feet of Lot 68, Tract No. 808,
as shown on map recorded in Book 16, pages 82
and 83, of Maps, records of said county;
.
and,
WHEREAS, after notice required by the Zoning Ordinance
of said City, a public hearing was duly held on the matter by and
before this Commission on the 27th day of March, 1962, which hear-
ing was duly continued to April 10, 1962, at each of which times
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 there were protests, both oral and
written, to the granting of the variance.
SECTION 2. That subject property contains 19,250 square
feet, which is more than the minimum 18,750 square foot require-
ment for two houses. That the property is now improved with a
single-family dwelling built in 1945 and located approximately 119
feet from the front lot line. That although the property does not

comply with the requirement of having been resubdivided since 1949,
there is no practical way for it to be resubdivided now, and be-
cause the rear lot line thereof approximates the rear lot line of
the adjacent lots resulting from the recent resubdivision thereof
it was impractical to include any portion of subject property with-
in such prior subdivision. That within the same block, 7 of the
18 lots contain 2 or more houses and other lots are eligible for
a second dwelling without the necessity of a variance. That the
foregoing constitutes exceptional conditions ~pplicable to the
property invo~ved that do not apply generally to the properties
in the same vicinity. That for the same reasons the requested
variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a sub-
stantial property right of the applicant possessed by other prop-
erty in the same zone and vicinity. That the granting of such
variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health
or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such
zone or vicinity and will not be inconsistent with good planning
practice, nor with the present or prospective development of the
neighborhood in which the property is located.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis-
sion recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a
variance be granted to permit a second dwelling on the above-
described property upon the following conditions:
a. That the entire development shall substantially
conform with the plot plan submitted.
b. That the new house shall contain not less than 1300
square feet of floor area.
c. That the existing carport attached to the present
house and located on the south lot line shall be removed.

d. That the present curb opening shall be closed and a
new driveway constructed.
e. That the City Planning Commission shall reserve the
right, without necessity of further notice or hearing, to make
minor modifications of any of the foregoing conditions, if such
modification will achieve substantially the same results and will
be no more detrimental to adjacent properties or impro~ements than
will the strict compliance with said conditions.
SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption
of this resolution and shall cause a copy of the same to be for-
warded 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
. lOth day of April, 1962, by the following vote:
AYES: Commissioners Ferguson, Forman, MiChler and
Norton
