'-....J' ~ . . field of the Arcadia High School adjoins subject property on the west and the golf course of the Arcadia County Park is located north of subject property. SECTION 3. That the development of surrounding property to commercial uses on two sides, the location of the high school athletic field on a third side and the golf course on the fourth, and the fact that subject property is the only parcel in the entire large block zoned R-3, constitute exceptional circumstances not usually applicable to property zoned R-3 and the requested variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of sub- stantial property rights possessed by other property in the same zone and vicinity. That the variance requested will not be detri- mental to the public health or welfare, will not be inconsistent with good planning practice nor will it be injurious to property in the immediate neighborhood.
