WHEREAS, after notice duly published and given, a public
hearing was dUly held on the 11th day of August, 1964, which hear-
ing was continued to August 17, 1964, and was again duly continued
to August 25, 1964, at which times all interested persons were
given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RECOMMEND
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That subject property is situated on the south
side of a major thoroughfare across the street from property owned,
.
developed and used by the Arcadia Unified School District as a high
school. That the balance of the Duarte Road frontage in the block
is developed with a public library and parking lot and is soon to
be developed with a church and Sunday SChool and with a Masonic
Temple, and with parking incidental to each thereof. That all of
the lots (with the possible exception of those abutting EI Monte
Avenue) are entirely too large and too deep to be redeveloped with
one single-family dwelling per lot. That if any relief be afforded,
-2-

.'
.
.
.
.' .
.
.
similar relief should also be afforded the lots abutting E1 Monte
Avenue. That the acquisition of a sizeable portion of subject prop-
erty by the City for a possible civic auditorium or other public
use and the previous determination by the City that subject property
should be developed to semi-public uses, together with the other
facts hereinbefore recited, are exceptional circumstances applicable
to subject property that do not apply to other properties in the
same vicinity and zone. That the reclassification of subject prop-
erty without restriction to Zone R-3 would not be justified by good
zoning practices and could well be detrimental and injurious to
other properties and improvements in the immediate vicinity. That
the granting of a variance as hereinafter recommended will not be
detrimental or injurious to other properties and improvements in
the same vicinity and zone. That the granting of a variance as
hereinafter recommended is reasonably necessary for the preserva-
tion of substantial property rights of the owners in view of the
foregoing determinations. That the granting of a variance as here-
inafter recommended will not adversely affect the comprehensive
general plan.
SECTION 2. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commission
recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia, that a vari-
ance be granted for the construction and maintenance of a planned
residential unit development on the property hereinbefore described
upon the following conditions:
1. That no single building shall contain more than four
(4) dwelling units.
2. That no more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the
total dwelling units on any lot or parcel shall consist of more than
one (1) story, and in each structure containing more than one story
substantially one-half (1/2) of each dwelling unit therein shall be
located on the ground floor.
