A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF DOWNEY, DENYING ZONE VARIANCE NO. 387
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 Waterfall Corporation with respect to the real
property described as follows: 8614 -18 Cavel Street, requesting a Variance
permitting to subdivide a parcel of land into three (3) lots with each lot
containing less than the required 5,000 square feet in area, in an R1 -5000
zone; that a public hearing was duly set for July 9, 1985, 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) 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 for
the reason there is no basis for the granting of this Zone
Variance.
(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 since most of the surrounding single family
properties meet the minimum lot size requirements for
properties zoned R1 -5000.
(3) Special conditions and circumstances would result if the
applicant is granted a Zone Variance.
(4) Approval of the Variance will not confer a special privilege
that is denied by the Zoning Ordinance to other lands in and
around this property.
(5) Granting of the applicant's applicant's request will affect
the Comprehensive General Plan in that the additional lot
requested would result in a higher density for this site than
permitted by the City's General Plan land use element.
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
justifying 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 and
Safety Division, and City Engineering Division.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 9th day of July , 1985.
