THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY . DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That there were no protests to the granting of the zone variance. That subject property is an L-ishaped lot on the west side of Third Avenue between Eldorado Street and Genoa Street with a frontage of 87.11 feet on Third Avenue and an area -1- 421 v ~ . . . of 22, 120 square feet; that it is zoned R~2 and developed with four living units. That although it is physically possible to place an additional house on subject property, there is not available the additional 7500 square feet required for either a dupl~x or two sin- gle family residences. There is no provision in the Zoning Ordin- ance for the addition of one single-family dwelling on less than the full 7500 square feet required for a duplex or for two single- family residences. . SECTION 2. That it has not been shown that there are ex- ceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to subject prop- erty or to the intended use thereof that do not apply generally to the prope~ty or class of use in the same zone or vicinity, or that the variance .is necessary for the preservation of any property right of the apPlicant possessed by other property in the same zone or vicinity. That the granting of the requested variance from the zon- ing requi~ements would constitute poor planning practice and might be injurious not only to the property and improvements in the neigh- borhood but to the comprehensive g~neral plan. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commission recommends to the City Council that the requested variance for the erection of an additional dwelling on the property described above be denied. SECTION 4. The Secr~tary 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.
