WHEREA$, there was filed with this Commission on the 29th day of November, 1963, the application of the Westman Development Corporation and The Thunderbird Realty Company, as owners, optionees and otherwise, for a zone variance to allow the construction of a . 105 dwelling unit planned residential park development on said prop- erty and on city-owned property known as 82, 100, 110, 118, 122, 124, 130, 146, 152, 156 and 160 West Duarte Road and described as follows: The area bounded by Duarte Road on the north; the west 108 feet of Lot 13 of Tract No. 6074 on the east; the northerly lines of Tract Nos. 13856, 13495, 13726 and 13365 on the south; and the 'not.~h~r.ly prolongation of the westerly line of Tract No. 13365 on the west; and, WHEREAS, after notice duly given as required by the Zoning Ordinance, a publiC hearing was dUly held on the matter by and before this Commission on the lOth day of December, 1963, which hearing was continued to January 14, 1964 and again continued to January 28, 1964 at which time revised plot plans were submitted, at all of which times all interested parties were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSIDN DOES HEREBY . DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That all of said property is in Zone R-l as are the properties south and west thereof. That the Arcadia Unified High School occupies the property on the north side of Duarte Road from Santa Anita Avenue to El Monte Avenue. That this 'Commission has heretofore determined and recommended that the Duarte Road frontage -1- 505 ---,. . ',- . . , on the south side of the street between Santa Anita Avenue and ~ El Monte Avenue, if to be used for any purpose other than single- family residential purposes, should be devoted to pUblic and semi- public purposes. That in accordance with said determination and recommendation, all of the Duarte Road frontage on the south side of the street between the above-described property and Santa Anita Avenue have already been in~roved with or are proposed to be im- proved with a publiC library, publiC parking lot, a Masonic Temple and a ChurCh; that the granting of a variance for purely 'multiple family uses would'be contrary to said determination and recommenda- tion, would be contrary to general planning for the area and would at best be premature. That applicant has no legal interest at all in a substantial portion of the subject property and is only an . optionee as to a iarge portion of the remainder, and the granting of the requested variance is unneceseary for the protection or preser- vation of substantial property rights. SECTION 2. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a copy of the same to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia. I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the City Planning Commission held on the 11th NOES: , 1964, by the following vote: C~~Blanere Haneon. KtJ1pe1'.
