A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DOWNEY, DENYING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 331.
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 Kent Burns, with
respect to the real property described as follows: 9655 Fire-
stone Boulevard, requesting a Variance to modify a requirement
of a previous Zone Exception approval (ZEC #775) by replacing
a required five foot wide landscaped setback with a paved
surface and planter barrels on property zoned M- 1 /C- 1 /P -B;
that a public hearing was duly set for August 24, 1984 at
7:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the Downey City Hall
11111 Brookshire Avenue, 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 Council and in its behalf reveal the following
facts:
(1) The applicant has failed to demonstrate any special
circumstances which are peculiar to this site which
could be used to justify a Variance.
(2) The subject property is not unusual nor are there
any special conditions due to the property's configuration
which make the granting of a Zone Variance appropriate.
(3) Literal interpretation of the provisions of the
City's Code would not deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the City.
(4) The granting of this Zone Variance would confer
special privileges which have been denied to other
similar properties in the City. •
(5) The granting of this Zone Variance would adversely
impact the City's General Plan because the reduction
of development standards would help to diminish the
aesthetic criteria established in the plan and seriously
affect the Firestone Boulevard Revitalization Plan.
(6) The environmental impact of the proposed project has
been reviewed and has been certified to be in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (C.E.Q.A.)
and the City's Guidelines, and is Class 11, Categorically
exempt.
SECTION 2. The City Council further finds and determines that
facts do not exist as required in Section 9164.18 of the
Downey Municipal Codejustifying the granting of a Variance.
SECTION 3. Based upon the aforementioned findings, the Council
hereby denies with respect to the property described in
Section 1, above, a Variance.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution and shall transmit a copy to the applicant ,Building
acid Safety, City Engineering Division and Planning Division.
