SECTION 2. That the fact that subject prop~rty is sur-
rounded by parking lots and R-2 property developed to non-conforming
commercial uses constitutes an exceptional circumstance applicable
to subject property which does not apply generally to, other proper-
ties' zoned R-2 in the neighborhood, and the requested varianc,e is
necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a subst~tial prop-
erty right possessed by other properties in the same ;zone and
vicinity. That the granting of the requested variance under the
conditions. hereinafter recommended will not be detrimental to the
I
publiC health or welfare, will not be inconsistent wi:th good plan-
ning or With the present or prospective development df the neigh-
,
I
borhood in which the property is located, but rather will foster
the development of the area by providing needed addi~ional parking
facilities.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons :this Commis-
sion recommends to the Arcadia City Council that a variance be
granted to permit the use of the property at 745 and '751 West
