WHEREAS, on March 23, 2011, an application was filed by Mr. Tommy Chavies
for 1,700 square -foot martial arts studio at 8 E. Duarte Road, Development Services
Department Case No. CUP 11 -05; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on July 26,

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 July 26, 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 proposed martial arts studio will be a negligible expansion of the previous
commercial use 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 martial arts studio is allowed in the C -2 zones
with an approved Conditional Use Permit per Section 9275.1.50.3 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 proposed martial arts studio complies with all applicable the City
requirements.
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 proposed martial
arts studio will not significantly increase traffic from the previous commercial use and
the surrounding streets are all adequate for the projected type of traffic.
5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan. The proposed martial arts studio is a commercial use
that is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of the site.

Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 11 -05 for a 1,700 square foot martial arts studio at 8 E.
