MINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
.

Council on March 1, 1960 by Resolution No. 3226.

related facilities constitutes exceptional conditions not
"
applicable to property generally in the vicinity; that the need of a
library consistent withfue expansion of the school creates the ne-
cessity for the requested variance to preserve a substantial property
right of the applicant. That inasmuch as a variance WaS granted for
the establishment of the school over ten years ago, and for the use of
the bUilding as a library on March 1 of this year, the granting of
this variance will not be materially detrimental to the health or
welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the zone or vi...

comprehensive general plan but rather will be beneficial in that it
will permit access to a public street from certain landlocked property
presently undeveloped because of its .inaccessibility.
SECTIpN 4. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commission
recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a zone
variance be granted to allow the removal of the dwelling from the
property at 924 Holly Avenue to the rear of the property at 330 West
Huntington Place and its use for a library and remedial reading room.
