OF ARCADIA HEREBY DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The subject site is zoned C-2 and is located
at the southwesterly corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Campus Drive,

a C-2zone. Apartments occupy a small parcel to the west and

is from time to time extremely congested, and that this in connection
with the large amount of pedestrian traffic generated by the
Arcadia High School creates a condition in the vicinity of said site
that makes it unsuitable as a location for an automobile service
station; that said use would substantially increase the traffic
hazard to pedestrians using adjacent sidewalks and streets.
SECTION 3. Tha~ for the foregoing reasons this Commission
denies a conditional use permit as requested by the applicant.
SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption
of this resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the
City Council of the City of Arcadia.
