A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE
CLASSIFICATION OF THE BUSINESS OF
DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
AS A WHOLESALE BUSINESS, A USE PER-
MISSIBLE IN ZONE C-M UNDER CHAPTER 2
OF ARTICLE IX OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL
CODE.
WHEREAS, there has been requested a classification under
Chapter 2 of Article IX of the Arcadia MuniCipal Code of the busi-
ness of distribution of electronic components; and,
.
I~AS, ambiguity has arisen concerning the appropriate
classificdtion of such use within the meaning and intent of said
Chapter 2 of Article IX of the Arcadia Municipal Code; and,
WHEREAS, Section 9213 of said Municipal Code provides in
part that "if ambiguity arises concerning the appropriate classi-
fication of a particular use within the meaning and intent of this
Chapter .
it shall be the duty of the Pll:l.l1ning Commission to
ascertain all pertinent facts concerning said use and by resolution
of record set forth its findings I:l.I1d the reasons thereforj" and,
WHEREAS, at a regular meeting of the City Planning Com-
mission said Commission ascertained all pertinent facts concerning
the use of property for distribution of electronic components;
.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ARCADIA DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, RESOLVE AND RECOMMEND AS
FOLLOWS:

That though a numerical majority of individual sales conducted
thereby will be to the ultimate consumer, it appears that a .major
portion of the gross sales volume will be not to the ultimate con-
sumer but to manufacturers for resale; that except for the fact
that large quantity buyers can buy directly from the manufacturing
supplier at lower prices, the percentage of gross sales to other
than ultimate consumers would be even greater.
SECTION 2. That for the foregoing reasons, although
this type of business is not noisy nor patently obnoxious and at
least at the outset would not be uncomplimentary to the immediate
community, this Commission finds and determines, from the evidence
~ presented to it, that the business of distributing electronic com-
ponents as proposed to be conducted by Thomas A. Lynch, is primarily
a wholesale business and as such would and should properly be clas-
sified as a use permissible in Zone C-M.
SECTION 3. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption
of this resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded 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
27th day of
June, 1961, by the following vote:
AYES:
NOES:
Commissioners Ferguson, Forman, Golisch. Norton,
Rutherford, and Acker
