WHEREAS, on November 19, 1996 the City Council held a public hearing to
consider the appeal, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be

WHEREAS, as part of the record, the City Council reviewed and considered the

b. The minutes of the October 22, 1996 Arcadia City Planning Commission
meeting;
c. Traffic survey, submitted by the appellant;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Arcadia Municipal Code Section 9275.2.11, the City

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Arcadia approves the appeal and
pursuant to Arcadia Municipal Code Section 9275.1.2(1) finds that the granting of the
conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
property or improvements in such zone or vicinity because:
1. It was determined that the eating establishment will not conflict with the other
uses in the retail center. The peak hours of operation are different than the other uses in
the retail center.
2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is a proper use for which a
Conditional Use Permit is authorized as established in the zoning ordinance.
3. That the site for the proposed eating establishment is adequate in size and
shape to accommodate said use. All existing yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking,
loading, landscaping, and other features are adequate to adjust said use with the land and
uses in the neighborhood.
4. The City Council reviewed the traffic report submitted by the applicant which
analyzed traffic, parking and circulation for the proposed project. It was determined that
the intersection of Duarte Road and Santa Anita Avenue, which currently operates at a
level of service "C", is adequate to accommodate the proposed eating establishment.
Furthermore, with the proposed City's improvements to the signaling, there will be no
negative impact to the intersection and surrounding roadways. The applicant will be
required, as set forth in this Resolution, to provide off-site employee parking at the
adjacent business (dive shop to the west) in order to free up more parking on the site. In
addition, the City Council agreed with the traffic report's findings that the existing on-
site parking will be sufficient for the proposed use.
5. The subject site is designated as commercial on the General Plan. The
proposed project is consistent with said designation and will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan.

7. That "stop" signs shall be placed at exits along Santa Anita Avenue and
Duarte Road.
8. Shall provide off-site parking for employees during normal business hours.
