A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
DENYING AN APPEAL IN ZONE VARIANCE CASE NO. 5
WHEREAS, an application was submitted to the Planning Commission for a Zone
Variance to establish a residential lot with less than the required street
frontage width on property located at 8515 Cherokee Drive in Downey; and
WHEREAS, the proposed lot would establish a lot frontage of 12 feet at the
street line which would not be in keeping with the frontage widths within the
'—' neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission at its meeting of February 15, 1978, held
a public hearing thereon; and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of said hearing and discussion by the Commission,
the vote to deny the variance 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 14, 1978, and evidence for and
against said application having been heard and considered by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. City Council finds:
(a) That the General Plan of the City provides for single
family residential lots in the area in question;
(b) That the general character of the neighborhood is
developed and used by single family units with lot
frontage widths in keeping with Zoning Ordinance
requirements;
(c) That the creation of a lot with a 12 foot wide street
frontage width on the property in question would be
inconsistent and incompatible with the surrounding
and adjoining properties;
(d) That the creation by this lot split would result in
two undersized lots.
SECTION 2. The City Council concludes:
(a) That no special conditions or circumstances exist
that is peculiar to the land which are applicable
to other lands in the same vicinity to justify the
grant of zone variance for the lot in question;
(b) That literal interpretation of the provisions of the
zoning ordinance would not deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the
same vicinity and zone in which the property is located;
(c) That the granting of the zone variance would be
inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the exist-
ing comprehensive zoning plan.
SECTION 3. The decision of the Planning Commission is affirmed, the
appeal is denied, the request for the zone variance shall
not be granted.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution.
