RESOLUTION NO. 359 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE DENIAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF ZONE FROM ZONE R-3 TO ZONE C-3 OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF DUARTE ROAD FROM 745 TO 917 WEST DUARTE ROAD IN SAID CITY. WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission on October 30, 1959, the application of Paul B. Caler and others, as owners of por- tions of the property, for a change of zone from Zone R-3 to Zone C-3 of property located on the north side of Duarte Road from 745 West Duarte Road to and including 917 West Duarte Road in said City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, to wit: Lots l25 to 131, inclusive; Lot 132 except the North ll4 feet thereof; Lot l33 except the North 50 feet thereof; and Lot 134 except the West 34 feet thereof, measured along the north line of said lot; all in Tract No. 2731, as shown on map recorded in Book 33, page 29, of Maps, records of said county; and, WHEREAS, after notice as required by Ordinance No. 760, as amended, a public hearing was duly held on the matter by and before this Commission on the 8th day of December, 1959, which said hearing was continued to January 12, 1960, at each of which times all inter- ested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and to pre- sent evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY DETER- MINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That sixteen owners of property signed the petition with Mr. Caler and twenty property owners within a 300-foot radius signed as approving the requested zone Change; that there were numerous other property owners in the vicinity who spoke in favor of the change and others who signed written approval of the -1- 359 . . . proposed change. That although there were no written protests filed, there were many who appeared at the hearing and spoke against the change of zone to commercial uses. SECTION 2. That property immediately east of subject prop- erty has had commercial zoning since 1952 and is still undeveloped; that the property in the Golden West area that has been zoned for commercial uses under county regulations is developed with small businesses only; that the public necessity and convenience do not re- qUire the change of zone. SECTION 3. That the present commercial uses are carried on in small buildings, some of them old, and none of them complying with the No.1 Fire Zone restrictions. That subject property com- ... prises a shoestring strip not suitable for desirable commercial uses. That granting the requested zone change would not follow good zoning practice nor would it be for the general welfare, and would be detri- mental to the residential properties on the south side of Duarte Road. SECTION 4. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission recommends the denial of the requested reclassification of subject properties. SECTION 5. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a copy of the same to be for- . warded 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 26th day of AYES: January , 1960, by the following vote: NOES: Commissioners Acker, Davison, Forman, Norton, stout and Wallin None ABSENT: Commissioner Michler /~~dA~ti;!~~~ fh ( (1 _( . -2- 359
