That the factual data submitted by the Development Services Department in the staff report dated June 12, 2012 are true and correct. SECTION 2. This Commission finds: A. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity because the on -site parking facilities are inadequate to support the proposed tutoring center and the proposed business would intensify traffic at an intersection that is already congested. B. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized; however, the applicant could not satisfy the -1- 1857 parking and traffic requirements for the requested conditional use as specified in Section 9269.5 et seq. of the Arcadia Municipal Code. C. That the site for the proposed use is not adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use due to inadequate on -site parking and traffic congestion at the adjacent intersection. D. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use, but the intersection of Campus Drive and Santa Anita Avenue is congested at peak times and the proposed tutoring center would adversely impact this intersection. Also, the on -site parking is insufficient to accommodate the proposed use. E. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan. The proposed tutoring center is a commercial use that is consistent with the General Plan Conditional Use Designation of the site. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission denies Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 12 -06 for a 580 square -foot tutoring center for children ages 14 -18 with a maximum attendance of 15 students at one time, Development Services Department Case No. CUP 12 -06, at 909 S.
