OF DOWNEY, DENYING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 312.
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 Kimberly Associates with respect to the real property described as
follows: 8747 -49 Imperial Highway, requesting a Variance to Section 9150 of the
Downey Municipal Code to reduce the required number of off - street parking spaces
in order to increase the number of dwelling units within an existing apartment
complex, on property zoned C -2; that a public nearing was duly set for April 10,
1984 at 7:30 p.m., in the Council Chamber of the Downey City Hall, 8426 East
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 tne land involved which are not generally applicable
to other lands in the same vicinity and zone for the granting of
relief to the parking requirements to expand the existing apartment
complex from 3U to 32 units.
2) Literal interpretation of tne provisions of the ordinance would
not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties
in the City under tne terms of the Zoning Ordinance since the apartment
as originally established is now substandard with respect to off - street
parking.
3) Special conditions and circumstances would result from actions of
tne applicant if this Zone Variance is granted.
4) Approval of the Variance will confer a special privilege that is
denied by tne Zoning Ordinance to other lands.
5) Granting approval of the applicant's request will adversely affect
the Comprehensive General Plan.
6) That the environmental impact of the proposed project has been reviewed
and nas been certified to be in compliance witn tne California Environmental
Quality Act (C.E.Q.A.) and the City's Guidelines and is Class 1, categorically
exempt.
SECTION Z. Tne City Council further finds and determines that facts do not exist
as required in Section 91b4.18 of tne Downey Municipal Code, justifying the granting
of a Variance,
