A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.
CUP 12 -16 TO AMEND AN EXISTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
(CUP 01 -028) TO APPROVE THE SERVING OF MEALS AND THE USE
OF THE REAR OUTDOOR PATIO AREA AT THE EXISTING COFFEE
SHOP AT 203 S. FIRST AVENUE.
WHEREAS, on August 27, 2012, an application was filed by Ms. Helen Wang for
the expansion of the existing 700 square -foot coffee shop to include meal service and
the use of a 900 square -foot rear outdoor patio area at 203 S. First Avenue,
Development Services Department Case No. CUP 12 -16; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on April 9,
2013, 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 April 9, 2013 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 coffee house is consistent with the zoning and land use designation of the
site and area, and with certain conditions 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 coffee house is allowed in the MU zones with
an approved Conditional Use Permit per Section 9268.10 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.
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 expanded activity at
the coffee house will not significantly increase traffic, and the surrounding streets are all
adequate for more than the 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 coffee house 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 CUP
12 -16 for the expansion of the existing 700 square -foot coffee shop to include meal
service and the use of a 900 square -foot rear outdoor patio area at 203 S. First Avenue,
subject to the following conditions:
1. The business hours of the coffee house shall be limited to 6:30 a.m. to 7:00
p.m., Monday through Friday, and 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.

limits, building safety, emergency equipment, and parking and site design shall be
complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community

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