NOW, lHEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the factual data submitted by the Planning Department in the
attached report is true and correct.
Section 2. This Commission finds:
1. That there are exceptional ar extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property, that do
not apply generally to the property or class of use in the same zone or vicinity,
because compliance with the State requirements would make the retention of the
current gas station use economically unfeasible and to cease all service
station! garage uses would deprive the property owner! operator of his lively hood.
2. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such
zone or vidnity in which the property is located, because the repair use will remain
essentially the same as presently exists.

engaged in similar garage activities, the only difference being that they also provide
gasoline service.

comprehensive General Plan, because the existing use will not be significantly
different from the existing service station use.
