CUP 13-12 WITH A CLASS 1 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR THE EXISTING RELIGIOUS FACILITY, AND THE USE OF A TENT FOR OUTDOOR EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, AND SERVICES. THE TENT IS 40 FEET BY 60 FEET (2,400 SQUARE FEET) AND 14 FEET IN HEIGHT AND CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 300 PEOPLE Recommended Actions: Find that the Project qualifies as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption from CEQA; approve CUP 13-12, and adopt Resolution No. 1893. SUMMARY The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the existing religious facility, and the use of a 2,400 square foot tent for outdoor events, activities, and services — see the attached aerial photo, photos of the site, and plans. It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve these applications, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report, and adopt the attached Resolution No. 1893. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: Rev. Dr. Jolene Cadenbach of Arcadia Congregational Church LOCATION: 2607 S. Santa Anita Avenue REQUEST: A conditional use permit for the existing religious facility, and the use of a 2,400 square foot tent for outdoor events, activities, and services. SITE AREA: 28,597 square-feet (0.66 acres) FRONTAGE: The lot has 235 feet of frontage on S. Santa Anita Avenue. EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The lot is developed with a 4,000 square foot sanctuary, 3,692 square foot office/study, 3,600 square foot hall, 1,375 square foot daycare, three small storage buildings, and an unpermitted 2,400 square foot tent. The original sanctuary and hall buildings were constructed in 1966. There is also a parking lot with 100 parking spaces. The zoning is R-2, Medium Density Residential. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Single Family Residences, zoned R-1 South: Retail Center with Goodwill, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and Rite Aid, zoned Mixed Use East: Single Family Residences, zoned R-1 West: Single Family Residences, zoned R-1 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Medium Density Residential (6-12 dwelling units per acre) — This designation accommodates varied housing types and sizes within a suburban neighborhood context. Permitted residential uses include detached and attached residences with private and/or shared yards and open space areas. Other uses that may be appropriate, consistent with zoning regulations, include public and private schools, public parks, and other open space uses. The site is developed with a church sanctuary and hall, an office/study, a daycare, storage buildings, and an unpermitted tent. There are also 100 parking spaces in a surface parking lot. The church sanctuary and hall were built in 1966 and at that time a Conditional Use Permit was not required. In 1985, the Arcadia Congregational Church was granted Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 85-10 to add the daycare for a maximum of 25 children — see attached Resolution No. 1293. The tent was erected in 2003 to accommodate outdoor activities and events, but the structure was never permitted. DISCUSSION Tent and Outdoor Activities The applicant is proposing to legalize a tent that is located just west of the church hall for the purposes of holding outdoor events and activities (e.g., wedding receptions and congregational meals) — see attached Site Plan. The tent is 40 feet wide, 60 feet long, and is 14 feet tall. It is made of flame retardant white vinyl, is free of damage, except for a 2 square foot discoloration on the north side of the canopy. The capacity of the tent is 240 people for parties and 300 people for meetings. The tent is used 2 to 4 times a month for regular activities and is used more frequently in the spring and summer for CUP 13-12 2607 S. Santa Anita Ave. January 14, 2014— Page 2 of 7 wedding receptions. The tent is available for use from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and amplified music is permitted in accordance with the Arcadia Municipal Code. The Building Official and Fire Marshall have reviewed the plans for the permanent placement of the tent on the property and have determined that the structure will meet safety requirements as long as type 2A:10BC fire extinguishers are mounted at approved locations and permanent emergency lighting is provided. Tents are not permitted by right in the R-2 zone and would not be appropriate for long term use at a multiple family residential development. Churches, however, are places for regular public gatherings and tents provide a practical option for regular outdoor events. Several other community service uses in the City have permanent tents or shade structures for similar purposes. One concern regarding tents on permanent bases is the visual impact it could have on the neighborhood. The subject tent, however, is not visible from public rights-of-way and is screened by vegetation and other buildings from the neighbors to the south and west. The neighboring properties to the north have the only direct sight line of the tent and there have not been any complaints regarding its appearance in the 11 years that the tent has been in place. Another concern regarding tents is the maintenance of the structure. The subject tent is vinyl with metal framing which will not hold up to the elements as well as a standard structure. It is recommended as a condition of approval that the tent structure be subject to periodic inspection and required to be repaired or replaced as deemed necessary by the Community Development Administrator. Existing Church Activities The primary use for this property is religious services and community gatherings. This facility currently hosts four separate faith communities. Religious services for these communities are held in the sanctuary. A daycare has been in operation since 1985 (CUP 85-10, Resolution 1293 attached) for a maximum of 25 children and is located in a 1,375 square foot building at the rear of the site. Also, a 50 foot tall monopole cellular facility was approved in 2006 (CUP 06-08, Resolution 1748 attached). It is located between the sanctuary and the daycare. In addition to religious services and the daycare, there are other church-related activities, such as fellowship and administration meetings — see the attached Schedule of Regular Events. These activities utilize a 3,692 square foot office/study, and/or a 3,600 square foot hall. Parking There are 100 parking spaces, including four handicap spaces, located in one large parking lot that occupies the northern half of the site. The parking requirement for religious facilities is 1 space per 5 permanent fixed seats, 1 space per 35 square feet of area with non-fixed seating, and 1 space per 28 linear feet of bench area. The parking requirements for this site are summarized in the following table: CUP 13-12 2607 S. Santa Anita Ave. January 14, 2014 — Page 3 of 7 tk'H ry`C' i`* 1 7 C i`lWtY' '1*a y 4a g a � Y ? �a b J $R Sanctuary '��`'`�'�' �-" 20 Fireside Room 7 Hall 20 Day Care 3 Pastor Office 1 Unpermitted Tent 7 Storage Sheds 0 Total Requirement 58 While the parking requirement for the site is 58 spaces, the amount of parking needed to satisfy actual demand is significantly higher (see attached Parking Demand Table). Based on the demand generated by the regularly occurring uses, the highest demand occurs on Sundays for a maximum of 95 parking spaces. Special events can also require a large amount of parking. These events (e.g., weddings and baptisms) are scheduled so as not to compete for parking with the regularly scheduled events. Saturdays are the most common days to hold such events and there are no regularly scheduled events on Saturday afternoons and evenings. The parking provided onsite satisfies the parking requirement of the Municipal Code and satisfies the parking demand for the regular and special events. The existing parking is sufficient for the existing church activities. FINDINGS Section 9275.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code requires that for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted, it must be found that all of the following prerequisite conditions can be satisfied: 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. Facts to Support the Finding: A church is consistent with the Zoning and General Plan Land Use Designation of the site, and if operated in conformance with the Arcadia Municipal Code and the applicable conditions of approval, 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 autll M--y Facts to Support the Finding: In the R-2, Medium Density Residential Zone, a church is allowed with an approved Conditional Use Permit per Section 9275.1.43 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. CUP 13-12 2607 S. Santa Anita Ave. January 14, 2014— Page 4 of 7 Facts to Support the Finding: Based on the proposal, the existing parking availability, and the on-site circulation, the site is adequate for the existing church, including the tent. 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. Facts to Support the Finding: The tent will not increase the traffic at this location. The streets around the subject center (S. Santa Anita Avenue, W. Live Oak Avenue, Las Tunas Drive, and W. Woodruff 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. Facts to Support the Finding: The church is a use that is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of the site. The proposed project, with the recommended conditions of approval will satisfy each prerequisite condition, and all City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits, building safety, health code compliance, emergency equipment, environmental regulation compliance, and parking and site design shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director. Any changes to the existing facility may be subject to having fully detailed plans submitted for plan check review and approval, and to Building Permits. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS If it is determined that no significant physical alterations to the site are necessary, then this project, as a minor addition to an existing facility qualifies as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption per the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. A Preliminary Exemption Assessment is attached to this staff report. It is recommended that the Planning Commission determine that this project is exempt from CEQA. PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS Public hearing notices for CUP 13-12 were mailed on January 3, 2014 to the property owners, tenants, and occupants of those properties that are within 300 feet of the subject property — see the attached radius map. Because staff considers the proposed project exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the public hearing notice was not published in a local newspaper. As of January 8, 2013, two comments in opposition to the proposal were received in response to the public hearing notices. The first comment was from Mr. Martin Koeth of 22 W. Woodruff Avenue, which is located north of the subject property, and the second comment was from an anonymous caller. Both comments were in opposition to the proposal based on the noise generated from the activities held in the tent. CUP 13-12 2607 S. Santa Anita Ave. January 14, 2014— Page 5 of 7 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 13-12, subject to the following conditions: 1. Use of the tent structure shall be limited to 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sundays through Thursdays. 2. The tent structure shall be subject to periodic inspection and required to be repaired or replaced as deemed necessary by the Community Development Administrator. 3. The accessible parking spaces onsite shall comply with the current accessibility standards to the satisfaction of the City's Building Official and shall be upgraded if necessary. 4. Permanent emergency lighting shall be provided for the tent, subject to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshall. 5. A minimum of one type 2A:10BC fire extinguisher shall be mounted in a visible area adjacent to the tent, subject to the approval of the Fire Marshall. 6. All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities; occupancy limits; building safety; fire prevention, detection and suppression; health code compliance; emergency access, egress and equipment; water supply and facilities; sewer facilities; trash reduction and recycling requirements; environmental regulation compliance, including National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) measures; and parking and site design shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director. Compliance with these requirements shall be determined by having fully detailed construction plans submitted for plan check review and approval by the foregoing City officials and employees. 7. The use approved by CUP 13-12 is limited to a church, which shall be operated and maintained in a manner that is consistent with the proposal and plans submitted and approved for CUP 13-12, and shall be subject to periodic inspections, after which the provisions of this Conditional Use Permit may be adjusted after due notice to address any adverse impacts to the adjacent streets, rights-of-way, and/or the neighboring businesses or properties. 8. Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of approval for CUP 13-12 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of any approvals, which could result in the closing of the church. 9. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Arcadia and its officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, action, or proceeding against the City of Arcadia, its officials, officers, employees or agents to attack, set aside, void, or annul any approval or conditional approval of the City of Arcadia concerning this project and/or land use decision, including but not limited to any approval or conditional approval of the City Council, Planning Commission, or City Staff, which action is brought within the time period provided for in Government Code Section CUP 13-12 2607 S. Santa Anita Ave. January 14, 2014— Page 6 of 7 66499.37 or other provision of law applicable to this project or decision. The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any claim, action, or proceeding concerning the project and/or land use decision and the City shall cooperate fully in the defense of the matter. The City reserves the right, at its own option, to choose its own attorney to represent the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents in the defense of the matter. 10. Approval of CUP 13-12 shall not be of effect unless the property owner and applicant have executed and filed an Acceptance Form available from the Development Services Department to indicate awareness and acceptance of these conditions of approval. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Approval If the Planning Commission intends to approve this proposal, the Commission should move to approve Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 13-12, and adopt the attached Resolution No. 1893 that incorporates the requisite environmental and Conditional Use Permit findings and the conditions of approval as may be modified by the Commission. Denial If the Planning Commission intends to deny this proposal, the Commission should move to deny Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 13-12; state the finding(s) that the proposal does not satisfy with reasons based on the record; and direct staff to prepare a resolution incorporating the Commission's decision, and specific findings for adoption at the next meeting. If any Planning Commissioner, or other interested party has any questions or comments regarding this matter prior to the January 14, 2014 hearing, please contact Assistant Planner, Nick Baldwin at (626) 574-5444, or nbaldwin nci.arcadia.ca.us.

RESOLUTION NO. 1893 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. CUP 13-12 WITH A CLASS 1 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR THE EXISTING RELIGIOUS FACILITY, AND THE USE OF A TENT FOR OUTDOOR EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, AND SERVICES. THE TENT IS 40 FEET BY 60 FEET (2,400 SQUARE FEET) AND 14 FEET IN HEIGHT AND CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 300 PEOPLE WHEREAS, on September 23, 2013, a Conditional Use Permit application was filed by the Arcadia Congregational Church for the existing religious facility, and the use of a 2,400 square foot tent for outdoor events, activities, and services at 2607 South Santa Anita Avenue, Development Services Department Case No. CUP 13-12; and WHEREAS, an environmental assessment was conducted and it was determined that the proposed project meets the categorical exemption criteria under Article 19 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Categorical Exemptions Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on January 14, 2014, 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 January 14, 2014 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 church is consistent with the Zoning and General Plan Land Use Designation of the site, and if operated in conformance with the Arcadia Municipal Code and with the applicable conditions of approval, 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 R-2, Medium Density Residential Zone, a church is allowed with an approved Conditional Use Permit per Section 9275.1.43 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 existing church, including the tent. 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 tent will not increase the traffic at this location. The streets around the subject center (S. Santa Anita Avenue, W. Live Oak Avenue, Las Tunas Drive, and W. Woodruff 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 church is a 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 13-12 qualifies as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. -2- 1893 SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission grants Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 13-12, subject to the following conditions: 1. Use of the tent structure shall be limited to 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sundays through Thursdays. 2. The tent structure shall be subject to periodic inspection and required to be repaired or replaced as deemed necessary by the Community Development Administrator. 3. The accessible parking spaces onsite shall comply with the current accessibility standards to the satisfaction of the City's Building Official and shall be upgraded if necessary. 4. Permanent emergency lighting shall be provided for the tent, subject to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshall. 5. A minimum of one type 2A:10BC fire extinguisher shall be mounted in a visible area adjacent to the tent, subject to the approval of the Fire Marshall. 6. All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities; occupancy limits; building safety; fire prevention, detection and suppression; health code compliance; emergency access, egress and equipment; water supply and facilities; sewer facilities; trash reduction and recycling requirements; environmental regulation compliance, including National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) measures; and parking and site design shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director. Compliance with these requirements shall be -3- 1893 determined by having fully detailed construction plans submitted for plan check review and approval by the foregoing City officials and employees. 7. The use approved by CUP 13-12 is limited to a church, which shall be operated and maintained in a manner that is consistent with the proposal and plans submitted and approved for CUP 13-12, and shall be subject to periodic inspections, after which the provisions of this Conditional Use Permit may be adjusted after due notice to address any adverse impacts to the adjacent streets, rights-of-way, and/or the neighboring businesses or properties. 8. All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities; occupancy limits; building safety; fire prevention, detection and suppression; health code compliance; emergency access, egress and equipment; water supply and facilities; sewer facilities; trash reduction and recycling requirements; environmental regulation compliance, including National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) measures; and parking and site design shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director. Compliance with these requirements shall be determined by having fully detailed construction plans submitted for plan check review and approval by the foregoing City officials and employees. 9. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Arcadia and its officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, action, or proceeding against the City of Arcadia, its officials, officers, employees or agents to attack, set aside, void, or annul any approval or conditional approval of the City of Arcadia concerning this project and/or land use decision, including but not limited to any approval or conditional approval of the City Council, Planning Commission, or City Staff, -4- 1893 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. The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any claim, action, or proceeding concerning the project and/or land use decision and the City shall cooperate fully in the defense of the matter. The City reserves the right, at its own option, to choose its own attorney to represent the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents in the defense of the matter. 10. Approval of CUP 13-12 shall not be of effect unless the property owner and applicant have executed and filed an Acceptance Form available from the Development Services Department to indicate awareness and acceptance of these conditions of approval.
