A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THE DENIAL
OF A ZONE VARIANCE AND/OR SPECIAL
USE PERMIT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION
AND OPERATION OF A FIFTY-SEVEN BED
CONVALESCENT HOME.
WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission on the
24th day of September, 1959, the application of Sophia P. Johnson
and Orlando C1arizio, requesting a zone variance and/or special
use permit to allow the construction and operation of a fifty-
seven bed convalescent home upon the following described property
located at l601 South Baldwin Avenue in the City of Arcadia, Coun-
.
ty of Los Angeles, State of California, to wit:
The North l38.286 feet of Lot 4, Block G,
Santa Anita Land Company's Tract, as shown
on map recorded in Book 6, page 137, of
Maps, Records of Los Angeles County;
and,
WHEREAS, after notice required by Ordinance No. 760 of
said City, as amended, a publiC hearing was duly held on the matter
by and before this Commission on the 27th day of October, 1959, at
which time all interested persons were given a full opportunity to
be heard and to present evidence;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY DETER-
MINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That there were numerous written and oral pro-
~ tests to the granting of the zone variance and/or special use per-
mit; and there was one communication registering no objection if the
health and well being of adjoining property owners is not endangered
and if such variance does not in any way breach Ordinance No. 954.
SECTION 2. That subject lot along with other properties
in the area was annexed to the City of Arcadia in December of 1955.

That on April 3, 1956, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 954
which ordinance determined that subject lot should be placed in
Zone C-l upon the performance of certain conditions; that to date
these conditions have not been fulfilled. That in view of the
anticipated consideration for rezoning a large section of adjacent
territory included in Annexation No. l7-A, and the planned widen-
ing of Baldwin Avenue to provide means of travel between major
freeways and to handle peak periods of vehicular travel, the grant-
ing of such a variance and/or special use permit would affect the
comprehensive general plan.
SECTION 3. That it was not shown that there are excep-
tional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
the property involved or to the intended use of the property that
do not apply generally to other property in the same zone or vi-
cinity, nor that such variance and/or special use permit is nec-
essary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial prop-
erty right of the applicant possessed by other property in the
same zone or vicinity. That it was not shown that the granting
of such variance and/or special use permit will not be materially
detrimental to the public health and welfare or injurious to the
property or improvements in the zone or vicinity in which the
property is located but rather that the testimony presented at the
hearing brought out that the granting of the requested variance
and/or special use permit might well be materially detrimental and
injurious to the property and improvements in the vicinity in
which the property is located.
SECTION 4. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis-
sion recommends to the City Council that the requested variance
and/or special use permit for the construction and operation of a
fifty-seven bed convalescent home on the above described property
be denied.
