Miller, as owner, for a zone variance and/or special use permit to allow an addition to the ex- isting mortuary located on the following described property in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, to wit: Lot 36 and the North 10 feet of Lot 35, Block 63t, Tract No. 866, as shown on map recorded in Book 16, pages 198 and 199, of Maps, records of Los Angeles County; located at 500 South First Avenue; and, . WHEREAS, after notice required by Ordinance No. 760, as amended, a publiC hearing was duly held on the matter by and before this Commission on the 28th day of April, 1959, at which time all interested persons were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; which said hearing was duly continued to May 12, 1959, for reports and decision; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY DETER- MINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That there was one written protest against the granting of the variance, but no one appeared at the hearing to speak either in favor or against said variance. . SECTION 2. That the property is zoned C-2 and the original building was constructed at a time when mortuaries were a permissi- ble use in Zone C-2. That additions were made in 1951 and 1954. That Ordinance No. 900, adopted on December 7, 1954, classified ? -1- 332 ~. . . . 1'... .. . . mortuaries as a special use, thus making the present operation non- conforming. That the proposed addition will not provide extra seat- ing capacity thereby creating additional traffic, but will provide extra conveniences for the mortuary use. SECTION 3. That at the time the original building was constructed, off-street parking was not required and none was pro- vided. That in order to comply with the present requirement of one off-street parking space for each four seats provided in the mortu- ary appllcant has purchased and proposes to improve Lot 33, Block 63t, Tract No. 866, for off-street parking, and to construct a garage wlth an apartment over it on said lot. SECTION 4. That the reclassification of mortuaries as a special use and the adoption of off-street parking requirements constitute exceptional conditions applicable to subject property and the :l.ntended use thereof that do not apply generally to prop- erty in the neighborhood or vicinity and that a variance is neces- sary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by other property in the same vicinity. That the granting of the requested variance and special use permit upon certain required conditions of off-street parking will not be materially detrimental to the public health or welfare or injur:tous to the property or improvements in the zone or vi- cinity where the property is located, nor will it adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis- sion recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a variance and/or special use permit be granted to allow an addition to the existing mortuary located on the above described property upon the condition that the owner record a covenant stipulating the following: -2- 332 .... ...... -- ~ . . .- l.
