NOirl, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMr-USSION HEREBY DETER-
MINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOirlS:

for a commercial master antenna and, by its Resolution No. 334
adopted June 23,1959, has made its, determinations and recommenda-
tions relative thereto; that thereafter the Arcadia City Council,
by its Resolution No. 3152 adopted July 7, 1959, determined that
the use of property for a commercial master antenna should be clas-
sified as a special use under Section 17 of Ordinance No. 760 of
the City of Arcadia, and that authority for the location and opera-
tion of commercial master antennae should be granted only under the
provisions of and upon compliance with the procedure outlined for
variances.
SECTION 3. That the City has recognized the unique char-
acter of the use of property for which the within variance has been
requested. That master television antennae must, by their very
nature and purpose, be erected and operated at locations which will
provide adequate television reception and cannot be arbitrarily
confined to geographical zones. That this constitutes an excep-
tional and extraordinary circumstance applicable to the intended
use of subject property that does not apply generally to other
property and class of uses within the City. That the requested
variance and/or special use permit is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a property right possessed by other property owners
in the City of Arcadia in that the construction and maintenance of
a commercial master antenna to serve the fringe areas of the City of
Arcadia is the only feasible method of providing adequate television
reception to persons within such fringe areas. That the granting of
the requested variance and/or special use permit will not be con-
trary to good planning practice but rather that it will be in har-
mony therewith as it will eliminate the necessity of individual
property owners erecting a multitude of sizeable and unsightly tele-
vision antennas for their individual use.

master television antenna upon the above described property.
