foot, restaurant; and
WHEREAS, on May 3, 2011, an application was filed by the Derby Restaurant Arcadia,
Inc. for a Conditional Use Permit for a 5,448 square -foot, two -story addition to an existing 6,458
square -foot restaurant; Development Services Department Case Nos. ADR 10 -01 and CUP 11-
07 at 233 E. Huntington Drive; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on May 24, 2011, at
which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present
evidence.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Development Services
Department in the staff report dated May 24, 2011 are true and correct.
SECTION 2. This Commission finds:
1. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the
public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity.
The existing restaurant and addition are consistent with the zoning and land use designation of
the site and area, and will not have any adverse impacts to the neighboring businesses or
properties.
2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a
Conditional Use Permit is authorized. A restaurant is allowed in the CPD -1 zones with an
approved Conditional Use Permit per Section 9275.1.53.5 of the Arcadia Municipal Code.
3. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
said use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and other features
required to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. The existing restaurant
and addition are well situated on the site. With valet - parking service, the 89 -space parking lot
and additional valet- stacking capacity are sufficient to accommodate the parking demand of the
expanded restaurant.
4. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to
carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use. The property is served by Huntington
Drive, which is a primary arterial roadway that is adequate to serve the expanded restaurant.
5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan. A restaurant is a commercial use that is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Designation of the site.
6. That the project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to
allow for maximum development, and the area is not environmentally sensitive; therefore, the
project, as an addition of less than 10,000 square feet qualifies as a Class 1 Categorical
Exemption of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301(e)(2)
of the CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission grants Conditional Use
Permit No. CUP 11 -07 and Architectural Design Review No. ADR 10 -01 for a 5,448 square -
foot, two -story addition to an existing 6,458 square -foot restaurant at 233 E. Huntington Drive,
subject to the following conditions:
1. The second -story shall not be used for dining or other customer service purposes.
-2- 1837
hours.
2. The restaurant shall have on -site valet - parking service available during all operating
3. This approval of CUP 11 -07 and ADR 10 -01 includes a parking modification for 89
spaces in lieu of 179 spaces required, including the 4 tandem spaces and the ability to
accommodate at least 25 additional vehicles by valet- stacking. This is not an approval of a
general reduction of the parking requirements for the subject building, or the subject site.
4. The use approved by CUP 11 -07 and ADR 10 -01 is limited to this restaurant, which
shall be operated and maintained in a manner that is consistent with the proposal and plans
submitted and approved for CUP 11 -07 and ADR 10 -01, and shall be subject to periodic
inspections, after which the provisions of this Conditional Use Permit may be adjusted after due
notice to address any adverse impacts to the adjacent streets and /or neighboring businesses or
properties observed during these inspections.
5. In accordance with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Standard
Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) requirements, a SUSMP report, calculations and
all proposed Best Management Practices (BMPs) are required to be submitted, reviewed, and
approved by the City Engineer prior to issuance of building permits.
6. All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits,
building safety, emergency equipment, and site access shall be complied with to the
satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community Development Administrator, Fire
Marshal, and Public Works Services Director.
7. Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of approval for CUP 11 -07
and ADR 10 -01 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of any approvals,
which could result in the closing of the restaurant.
8. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Arcadia and its
officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, action, or proceeding against the
