AVENUE.
THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
.
SECTION I. That the present parking requirements and re-
strictions as to setbacks, alleys and parking lot access have so
restricted the enlargement, alteration and modernization of exist-
ing buildings and retarded the construction of new buildings on
Lots 1 to 17, inclusive, Block 74, Santa Anita Tract, per map re-
corded in Book 15, pages 89 and 90, of Miscellaneous Records of Los
Angeles County, situated on the north side of Huntington Drive be-
tween Santa Anita Avenue and First Avenue, as to preclude the full
or proper utilization of said properties and of the off-street park-
ing facilities heretofore provided in connection therewith. That
the majority of the existing buildings on said lots were constructed
thereon before the regulations presently in effect were established;
that the strict adherence to all regulations presently applicable to
aforesaid properties will further retard rather than foster the mod-

of the above described properties, and will not best accomplish the
aims and purposes of the overall purpose of aforesaid regulations,
SECTION 2. That because of practical difficulties, unneces-
