A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
DENYING AN APPEAL IN ZONE EXCEPTION CASE NO. 1327
WHEREAS, an application was submitted to the Planning Commission
for a variance to establish and maintain a caretaker's quarters, in-
cluding kitchen and sleeping facilities in conjunction with a T.V.
and Appliance Store on property located at 12111 Lakewood Boulevard
in Downey; and
WHEREAS, the proposed use would permit a residential use within
the C -3 zone, which use is specifically prohibited within said zone;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission at its meetings of February 2,
1977 and February 16, 1977, held a public hearing thereon; and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of said hearing and discussion by
the Commission, the vote to deny the zone exception was 5 to 0 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
March 22, 1977, 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
commercial development of the area in question;
(b) That the zoning on the property in question and
the adjacent property on both sides is for
commercial use;
(c) That the general character of the neighborhood
frontage on Lakewood is developed and used for
commercial uses;
(d) That a residential use upon the property in question
would be incompatible with the uses on the adjoining
properties and the uses generally developed within
the area, and that such uses upon the adjoining
property and generally within the area are for
commercial use and not residential use.
SECTION 2. The City Council concludes:
(a) That the exception as requested, if granted, would
constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent
with the limitations upon other properties and zones
in which theproperty 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 incon-
sistent with the purposes and intent of the existing
comprehensive zoning plan.
