A7, t' . /► �.- W 1 4 /ft, y -..
The City Council of the City of Downey does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council does hereby find and determine that an
application was duly filed by Hospital Corporation of America with respect
to the real property described as follows: 8300 Telegraph Road, requesting
deletion and modification of certain conditions attached to the Planning
Commission approval of Zone Variance No. 207; that a public hearing was
duly set for June 22, 1982, and continued to July 13, 1982, at 7:30 p.m.
in the Council Chamber of the Downey City Hall, 8425 E. Second Street,
Downey, California, and a notice of the date, time, place and purpose of
aforesaid hearing was duly given; that a hearing was duly held at the
aforementioned time and place. Studies and investigation made by the City
Council and in its behalf reveal the following facts:
(1) Special conditions and circumstances do not exist which are peculiar
to the land involved which are not generally applicable to other lands in
the same vicinity and zone to justify modifying or deleting conditions.
(2) Literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance would not
deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the
City under the terms of the Zoning Ordinance,
(3) Special conditions and circumstances do not exist to justify a Variance.
(4) Approval of the Variance without proper conditions safeguarding adjacent
properties would confer a special privilege that is denied by the Zoning
Ordinance to other lands.
(5) Granting approval of the applicant's request for modification or deletion
of conditions will adversely affect the Comprehensive General Plan.
SECTION 2. The City Council further finds and determines that facts do not
exist as required in Section 9164.18 of the Downey Municipal Code to justify
the granting of deletion or modification of the conditions in Zone Variance
No. 207.
SECTION 3. Based upon the aforementioned findings, the City Council hereby
denies with respect to the property described in Section 1, above, a
deletion or modification to the following conditions:

the obstetrics section of the hospital and shall include a 3,000
square foot remodeling of the obstetrics area.

February 24, 1982, Deviations or exceptions from said plot plan

City Planning Commission.

Telegraph Road and Stamps Avenue to the standards of the City
Engineering Division.
4. Damaged or hazardous sidewalk sections on Birchbark Avenue shall
be repaired or replaced to City standards.

policy. Any relaxation of strict parking enforcement by the hospital
