and are not readily adaptable to other commercial uses; that con-
venience, modern methods and competition require the installation
of mechanical equipment in order that the continued use of the
premises as an automobile wash will be feasible; that the fore-
going constitute exceptional conditions applicable to the in-
tended use of the property that do not apply generally to proper-
ties or classes of use in the same zone or vicinity. That the
granting of a variance upon the conditions hereinafter recommended
will not be materially detrimental to the public health or welfare
or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicin-
ity in which the property is located. That.such variance 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 and general vicinity in that at least one other variance for
a mechanically operated car wash has been granted with respect to
C-2 property in the same general vicinity. That the granting of
such variance, as hereinafter recommended will not adversely affect
the comprehensive general plan.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis-
sion recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a
variance be granted to permit the installation and use of mechani-
cal equipment in an existing auto laundry, located upon the above
described property upon the conditions that all compressors,
boilers and exhaust fans be constructed and maintained in a closed
section of the structure and adequately sound-proofed in accordance
with the requirements of the Building Department and Planning Com-
mission.
SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the
City Council of the City of Arcadia.
