December 3D, 1975
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: ZONE VARIANCE V-75-3
APPLICANT
The application was filed by Martin Yurich on December 18,
1975 requesting a zone variance to use a portion of the Santa
Anita Race Track parking to supplement the parking of the
Westerner Restaurant. The proposed application requires a
zone variinc~ from the City because the race track parking lot
is zoned S-l which does not permit parking for commercial
uses other than those allowed in the S-l Zone.
LAND USE AND ZONING
The subject site is zoned S-l and developed with a portion of
the Santa Anita Race Track parking lot. Properties to the
northeast are zoned C-2 and developed with the Westerner
Restaurant and the Westerner Motel. Properties to the south-
east are zoned S-l and developed with the race track entrance
and parking area. Properties to the west are zoned R-l and
developed wi th the Arcadia Wash and race track parking. (See
the ittached Land Use and Zoning Map.)
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The site which the Western~Restaurant proposes to use is
located directly actoss Colorado Place (see Map A) and will be
entered from a 38-foot driveway located approximately 65 feet
south of the center line of San Juan Drive. This parking area
contains 76 parking spaces, The Westerner Restaurant site con-
tains 52 parking spaces which would create a total of 128 spaces.
Landscaping is located along Colorado Place, the Wash, and
along the southerly and easterly boundary of the area.
The applicant proposes to use this area in addition to the
parking at the restaurant in order to alleviate the parking
.

problems on San Juan, Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Drives. Other
methods attempted to ease the parking problem in the area such
as "No Parking" signs, red curbing and policing have not been
totally successful.
The property on which the Westerner Restaurant is located is
landlocked with no possibility for expansion of the parking area.
The only nearby parking is the race track which is in the
wrong zone and, therefore, creates an exceptional circumstance
which requires a zone variance.
The restaurant would utilize this parking area during evening
hours and its use would not conflict with that of the race track.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act, the Planning Department reviewed the proposed zone
variance and determined th~t the proposal would not have a
significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration
has been prepared and filed for this project.
The Planning Commis.sion in its approval or denial of the pro-
posed zone variance must make the determination that the
'proposed variance would or would not have a substantial adverse
impact on the environment.
RECOMMENDATION
The Santa Anita Race Track is a permi,tted activity in the Sol
Zone and is a commercial/recreational use. The subject site
is presently used for parking by this facility. The Planning
Department believes the use of this parking area by the Westerner
Restaurant would be consistent with its present use ~nd consis-
tent with the General Plan and, therefore, recommends approval
of V-7S-3.
Should the Planning Commission wish to approve this application
for a zone variance, the Commission should make the following
findings:
1. That t,here are exceptional or 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.
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 vicinity
in which the property is located,
3. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the

applicant possessed by other property in the same zone
and vicinity.
That the granting of such variance will not adve~sely
affect the comprehensive general plan.
