Flores, Senior Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 1863 FOR CUP 12 -08 At the last regular meeting on September 25, 2012, the Planning Commission considered Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 12 -08 for a restaurant at 1271 S. Baldwin Avenue. The Commission voted 4 -0 with one Commissioner absent to approve the CUP, and directed staff to prepare a Resolution for adoption at the next meeting. Attached is Resolution No. 1863 for the granting of CUP 12 -08. After the meeting, however, it was noticed that the proposed floor plan did not include a true entrance on the Baldwin Avenue end of the subject commercial space as required by General Plan Land Use Policy Statement No. LU -14.5. That Policy Statement requires that new developments on Baldwin Avenue have entries that will encourage increased pedestrian use of Baldwin Avenue. This is a requirement that would have been noted during the plan check process, but staff is adding it to Resolution No. 1863 so that it is memorialized in a document that will be provided to subsequent owners /operators should there be a change in the ownership and /or management of the restaurant. The applicant is in agreement with this requirement, and the architect has prepared the attached revised floor plan and elevation to meet this requirement. The new condition reads as follows: • The glass entry doors that front Baldwin Avenue shall remain open during business hours and each door must have a handle on both sides. And, no window coverings shall be allowed on the windows that face Baldwin Avenue and the westerly parking lot area. Attachments: Resolution No. 1863 Revised Floor plan and Elevation RESOLUTION NO. 1863 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. CUP 12 -08 WITH A PARKING MODIFICATION FOR A NEW SEAFOOD RESTAURANT IN AN EXISTING 15,000 SQUARE -FOOT COMMERCIAL UNIT AT 1271 S. BALDWIN AVENUE WHEREAS, on April 9, 2012, an application was filed by the Architect, Mr. Twen Ma on behalf of the property owner Baldwin Arcadia, LLC for a new seafood restaurant in an existing 15,000 square -foot commercial unit at 1271 S. Baldwin Avenue; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on September 25, 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 September 25, 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. A restaurant is consistent with the Zoning and General Plan Land Use Designations of the site and will not conflict with the other existing uses at the site, or in the neighborhood. 2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized. In the C -2, General Commercial Zones, a restaurant is allowed with an approved Conditional Use Permit per Section 9275.1.55.1 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, the existing parking availability, and the on- site circulation, the site is adequate for the proposed 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 proposed restaurant will not increase the traffic that is expected at this location, which fronts on Baldwin Avenue. This street and the other streets around this center (Naomi Avenue, Duarte Road, and Golden West Avenue) are adequate for the type of traffic that is to be generated by this use. 5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan. The proposed restaurant is a commercial use that is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of the site. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission grants Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 12 -08 with a parking modification, subject to the following conditions: 1. Business hours shall be from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily. 2.

Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of approval for CUP 12 -08 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of any approvals, which could result in the closing of the restaurant. 12. 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 City of Arcadia, its officers, employees or agents to attack, set aside, void, or annul any approval or condition of approval of the City of Arcadia concerning this project and /or land use decision, including but not limited to any approval or condition of approval of the City Council, Planning Commission, or City Staff, which action is brought within the time period provided for in Government Code Section 66499.37 or other provision of law applicable to this project or decision.
