RESOLUTION 89- 1485PC
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF TEMPLE CITY DENYING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE
CONVERSION OF NON- CONFORMING RESIDENTIALLY USED
BUILDINGS TO CONFORMING COMMERCIAL USES WITH A TOTAL
OF 8 PARKING SPACES RATHER THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIRED
12 PARKING SPACES IN THE C -2 ZONE AT 9211 LAS TUNAS
DRIVE.
The Planning Commission of the City of Temple City does
hereby resolve:
Section 1. Zone Variance 89 -984 is hereby denied based on
the following findings;
1. That there are no exceptional or extraordinary circum-
stances or conditions applicable to the property involved
or to the intended use of such property which do not
generally apply to other properties in the same zone in
that the subject site contains 8,396 square feet of area
and 50 feet of street frontage on Las Tunas Drive, which
is quite similar to other commercially zoned properties
along this commercial corridor; and
2. That the variance is not necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of substantial property right possessed by
other properties similarly situated, but which is denied
to the property in question in that other similarly zoned
properties are required to meet the minimum parking re-
quirements for new commercial uses. Other new commercial
developments which have been constructed have met the
minimum required parking standards and have made substan-
tial improvements to the property rather than minimal
upgrades; and
3. That the granting of the variance would be materially
detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to the
adjacent property in that the proposal would perpetuate an
existing older development which was improved originally
with inadequate parking; additionally, permitting the
conversion of structures toward the rear of the lot from
residential to office would not benefit the other commer-
cial businesses or the community in that the existing
commercial building located along Las Tunas Drive is
proposed to essentially remain the same, which is in a
rather deteriorated condition. If the property is to be
converted to a conforming commercial use and remodeled, it
should be significantly improved so as to contribute to
the overall vitality of the commercial area.
