RESOLUTION NO. 1748
A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia, California, approving
Conditional Use Permit No. 06-09 to permit an enrichment center at 1010 S. Baldwin
Avenue.
There is a five working day appeal period after the adoption of the Resolution. Appeals
are to be filed by September 19th
The staff report was presented by Senior Planner Lisa Flores.
The public hearing was opened.
The applicants, Greg Shen and Shirley Noda, 841 W. Duarte Road, #3, Arcadia,
explained that the objective of the enrichment center was to encourage confidence and
leadership skills in children from three to seven years old. They both said that the center
would be a good addition to the city and offered to answer any questions the
Commissioners might have.
Commissioner Hsu asked about safety considerations in relation to the parking and drop-
off area for the children since the center is located on a busy street. Mr. Shen explained
that they do not anticipate using Baldwin Avenue for pick-up and drop-off of students
because the reception area is in the rear of the building and there are four short term
(green)parking spaces behind the building specifically for this purpose.
Commissioner Baderian asked if the applicants expect an increase in enrollment in the
future and how many teachers will be employed. Ms. Noda said that there will be one
instructor and she, herself, will be assisting, for a total of two adults. Mr. Shen explained
that the program is designed for one class at a time with a maximum of fifteen students so
they do not expect to increase enrollment.
Commissioner Baderian asked the applicants if they had carefully reviewed and were in
agreement with the conditions of approval in the staff report. Both Mr. Shen and Ms.
Noda said they will comply with the conditions of approval.
MOTION:
It was moved by Commissioner Baderian, seconded by Commissioner Hsu to close the
public hearing.
