A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. CUP 13-19 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) TO OPERATE
A 1,200 SQUARE-FOOT NAIL SALON AT 202 EAST LIVE OAK AVENUE
(DBA: NICELY NAILS)
WHEREAS, on November 27, 2013 an application was filed by Ms. Ngoc Hien
Thi Le for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a nail salon at 202 E. Live Oak Avenue,
Development Services Department Case No. CUP 13-19; 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 March 11,
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 March 11, 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. The proposed use is to be operated as a nail salon providing only manicures
and pedicures. This use will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare, or the
surrounding properties. A nail salon is a retail personal service business that is
consistent with the Mixed Use Zoning and General Plan Land Use Designations of the
site, and will not conflict with the other uses on 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 MU, Mixed Use Zone, a nail salon is
allowed as a personal service business 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. The applicant intends to occupy a 1,200 square-foot commercial retail
unit that was previously occupied by a nail salon. The proposed nail salon will maintain
the same floor plan and operate at a similar capacity as the previous occupant. The
property features parking, lighting, and other improvements typical of commercial
developments. The proposed nail salon will not require any adjustments to the site.
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 site is located at the
corner of Tyler Avenue and Live Oak Avenue, which are adequate to carry the 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. A nail salon is a commercial use that is consistent with
the Mixed Use General Plan Land Use Designation of the site.

Code requirements prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or a City

pedicure services only. This nail salon shall be operated and maintained in a manner
that is consistent with the proposal and plans submitted and approved for CUP 13-19,
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 and
properties.
4. 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

5. Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of approval for CUP
13-19 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of any approvals, which
could result in the closing of the nail salon.
6. 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
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.

days after Planning Commission adoption of this Resolution, the property
owner/applicant has executed and filed with the Community Development Administrator
