A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
DENYING AN APPEAL IN ZONE EXCEPTION CASE NO. 1273
WHEREAS, an application was submitted to the Planning Commission for a
variance to construct a two - story, four -unit apartment building with eight
carport offstreet parking spaces, and for other exceptions, for the pro-
perty located at 8529 Fifth Street in Downey; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission at its meeting of May 5, 1976, held
a public hearing thereon; and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of said hearing and discussion by the
Commission, the vote to grant the zone exception was 2 to 2 and thereby
denied; and
WHEREAS, the applicant thereafter appealed to the City Council of the
City of Downey, and public notice having been given in the manner provided
by law and a hearing held by the City Council on May 25, 1976, and evidence
for and against said application having been heard and considered by the
City Council;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. City Council finds:
(a) That the general plan of the City provides for medium density
of development of the area in question;
(b) That the zoning on the property in question and the surround-
ing neighborhood is for single family residential use;
(c) That the general character of the neighborhood is developed
and used for single family residences;
(d) That multiple dwellings upon the property in question would
be incompatible with the uses on the adjoining property and
the uses generally developed within the neighborhood, and
that such uses upon the adjoining property and generally
within the neighborhood are for single family residential use
and not multiple dwellings.
SECTION 2. The City Council concludes:
(a) That the exception as requested, if granted, would constitute
a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limita-
tions upon other properties and zoned in which the property
is located;
(b) That an application of the provisions of the chapter would
not deprive the owner of privileges enjoyed by other properties
in the vicinity;
(c) That the granting of the exception would be inconsistent with
the purposes and intent of the existing comprehensive zoning
plan.
SECTION 3. The decision of the Planning Commission is affirmed, the
appeal is denied, the request for the zone exception shall not be granted.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 22nd day of June, 1976.
