RESOLUTION NO. 90 -2975
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMPLE CITY DENYING A MODIFICATION OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 71 -342 AND ZONE VARI-
ANCE 89 -1036 A REQUEST BY SANTA ANITA VILLAGE
SCHOOL TO ALLOW THE EXPANSION OF AN. EXISTING
PRE - SCHOOL FROM AN ENROLLMENT OF 24 STUDENTS
TO 56 STUDENTS, TO ALLOW INCREASED HOURS OF
OPERATION AND TO ALLOW A PARKING DESIGN WHICH
NECESSITATES THE BACKWARD MOTION OF VEHICLES
RATHER THAN THE FORWARD MOTION OF VEHICLES AS
REQUIRED BY THE ZONING CODE FOR SUCH PARKING
AREAS WITHIN THE LIGHT MULTIPLE (R -2) ZONE.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. .Based upon a public hearing for the above Modi-
fication of Conditional Use Permit and Zone Variance, the City
Council finds:
MODIFICATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
1. That the site for the proposed use is not adequate in size,
shape, topography and circumstances in that existing im-
provements on the site preclude the expansion of the facil-
ity to adequately accommodate additional pupils; and
2. That the site does not have sufficient access to streets and
highways, adequate in width and pavement type to carry the
quantity and quality of traffic generated by the proposed
use in that the existing and proposed parking lay out neces-
sitates the backward motion of vehicles into or nearly into
the street in order to exit parking spaces; this results in
inadequate parking, poor circulation and possible traffic
safety hazards; and
3. That the proposed use will have an adverse effect upon the
use, enjoyment or valuation of adjacent property or upon the
public welfare in that the proposed expansion does not
adequately address existing inadequacies on the site and
does not provide for improvements for ingress and egress;
the site is inappropriate for expansion without substantial
modifications to accommodate parking and vehicular move-
ments.
Resolution No. 90 -2975 Page 2
ZONE VARIANCE
1. That there are no exceptional and extraordinary
circumstances or conditions applicable to the property which
do not generally apply to other properties in the same zone
in that the site is 81.74 feet by 185.74 feet and a proposed
addition could be constructed to meet minimum code require-
ments; and
2. That such variance is not necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other
property similarly situated but which is denied to the
property in question in that other similarly zoned proper-
ties throughout the City are developed with pre - schools
which have been constructed in accordance with the Zoning
Code requirements in effect at the time of construction;
and
3. That the granting of'the variance will be materially detri-
mental to the public welfare or injurious to adjacent
property in that the proposal to double the current pupil
enrollment will substantially increase vehicular movement on
the site. As proposed inadequate provisions are provided
for parking and ingress and egress; the existing structures
on the lot are not of substantial quality and could have a
negative impact on surrounding properties if not substan-
tially upgraded or replaced; and
4. That there are no special circumstances as provided in
Section 65906 of the California Government Code in that the
subject lot is rectangular in shape and generally level in
grade and does not possess any unique features relative to
size, shape, or topography.
SECTION 2. This project should result in significant ef-
fects upon the environment and a Negative Declaration has been
prepared in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 3. Accordingly, Modification of Conditional Use
Permit 71 -342 and Zone Variance No. 90 -1036 are denied.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of
this Resolution.
