NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY DETERMINES AND RESOLVES.AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Thatothe proposed extension of the existing convalescent hospital
far exceeds the density of development permitted by the original variance under which
the hospital was constructed and is far in excess of the density of development contem-
plated by such variance. That the proposed expansion would encroach into what is now
open space and would be entirely too close to the properties to the south facing Callita
Street; and that the praperties on Call ita Street would be seriously and adversely affected
by the proposed expansion. That though the type of develapment would appear to be a
proper use of the vacant property to the north, the tying of such proposed addition'with
. the addition to the front and rear of the existing convalescent hospital would permit
over-development of the property, excessive density of development, and an unsatisfactory
resulting condition. That for the foregoing reasons the application for a c,onditional use
permit to permit the eniarging of the existing convalescent hospital and the construction
of a retirement home as proposed by applicont should be and the same is hereby denied.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was adopted at a regular
meeting of the City Planning Commission held on the llth dcy of July, 1967, by the
following vote:
