WHEREAS, a public hearing was duly held on said matter by and before this Commission on the 12th day of September, 1967, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence; NOW, ~EREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I. That the major portion of the subject site is in Zone R-l with the balance being in Zone R-2. The property to the south is in Zone R-l; to the east in Zone C-2 and R-3; to the north in Zone C~2; and to the west in Zone R-2. The southwest corner of Camino Real and Baldwin Avenues is presently used for service station purposes. That because of the use existing on the site, the adjacent zoning, and past actions which have ruled out commercial or more intensive uses as being incompatible with the area and the impracticability of residential development, it appears that the use alternatives remaining would be those which are permit- ,ted and which could be made compatible with the adjacent residential areas. That although a prior! application for similar uses was denied particularly because of its proposed extension to the residential properties to the south, the site design presently proposed includes a number of features which indicate a high ,level of desirability in terms of compatibility with adjacent properties, such as building configuration and separation, patient security, 47% of the parking below grade, approximately 35% of the site devoted to functional landscaped areas and buffers, two-story buildings 190 feet to 225 feet from the rear line of the R-l properties to the south and all around perimeter 3etbacks. That the granting of such conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the pUblic health or welfare -2- 620 / . - . or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vie in- ity. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a conditional use permit is authorized. That the site for the proposed use is adequate lnsize and shape to accommodate said use, and all yards" spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and other features required to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generat~d by the pro~osed use. That the granting of such conditional use permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. SECTION 2. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commission . hereby grants a conditional use permit for the expansion of an exist- ing convalescent hospital and construction of a retirement home on the above-described property subject to compliance with all appli- cable regulations of the Arcadia Municipal Code, except such portions of Part 5 of Chapter 2 of Article IX thereof as may be waived by the City Council, and upon the following additional conditions: ,', m First floor elevation of the retirement cen,ter build- ing and the convalescent building (both having subterranean parking) shall be no more 'than two feet above the top of curb on Camino Real and Baldwin Avenues.
