STORY APARTMENT BUILDING ON PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 614, 620, 624, 630, 634

WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission on April 29,
1963, the application of Mike T. Vallone, as owner, for a zone vari-
ance to permit the construction of a 200 unit eight-story apartment
building on property located at 614, 620, 624, 630, 634 and 642 West
.
Huntington Drive in the City of Arcadia, described as follows:
Lots 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of Tract No. 2828
as shown on map recorded in Book 33, page 63,
of Maps, Records of Los Angeles County;
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 14th day of May, 1963, which hearing was duly
continued to May 28, 1963, again continued to June 11, 1963, and
again continued to June 25, 1963, ~t which times all interested
parties were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present
evidence;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY
DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That subject property has a total frontage on
~ Huntington Drive of 408.72 feet and an area of 299,000 square feet
with an average depth of approximately 537 feet. That subject prop-
erty is in Zone C-O and D. That Zone C-O permits professional office

. than two (2) stories high. That there are no exceptional or extra-
ordinary conditions applicable to the property involved or to the
intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties or classes of use in the immediate vicinity and in the
same zone. That the granting of the requested variance would be
injurious to properties and improvements in the zone or vicinity in
which the property is located. That a study of the described area
indicates this location is not appropriate foI:' buildings exceeding
in height the basic height limitation presently applicable to sub-
ject property. That to permit one building to be eight (8) stories
would set an undesirable precedent in this area and accord subject
property an advantage not enjoyed by adjacent properties. That the
requested variance is not necessary for the preservation or enjoy-
.
ment of a substantial right of applicant possessed by other property
in the same zone or vicinity.
SECTION 2. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commis-
sion recommends to the City Council of the City of Arcadia that a
va~iance to permit the construction of a 200 unit eight-story apart-
ment building on the above described property be denied.
SECTION 3. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption
of this ~esolution 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 on the 9th
, 1963, by the following vote:
