WHEREAS, on April 19, 2012, an application was filed by Vivien Cheng to
expand the existing bakery into an adjacent 1,200 square -foot vacant unit within an
existing 6,900 square -foot commercial building to establish a restaurant/bakery that will
be 2,300 square -feet with a dining area for 12 patrons at 1010 S. Baldwin Avenue,
Development Services Department Case No. CUP 12 -09; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on June 12,
2012, 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 June 12, 2012 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 restaurant is 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 C -2 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. Based on the proposal and the parking availability, this site is adequate
for the proposed project and only minor adjustments are necessary; that is having the
employees park at the rear of the property, and the adding of signage regarding the
proper parking spaces to be used by the customers.
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
restaurant will not significantly increase traffic from the previous tutoring center use and
the surrounding streets are all adequate for more than the projected type of traffic
expected to be generated by the proposed use.
5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan. The proposed restaurant/bakery is a commercial use
that is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of the site.
6. That the project approved under Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 12 -09
qualifies as a Class 3 Categorical Exemption of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) per Section 15303(c) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Arcadia and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, action, or
