SUBJECT: CALL UP /APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S CONDITIONAL
APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. TPM 14 -07 (72892),
MODIFICATION NO. MC 14 -04, AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
REVIEW NO. ADR 14 -06 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A
NEW 3,995 SQUARE -FOOT, TWO- STORY, ART -DECO STYLE OFFICE
BUILDING AT 130 S. FIRST AVENUE
Recommendation: Affirm Planning Commission Decision
SUMMARY
At its November 12, 2014, meeting, the Planning Commission conditionally approved
Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 14 -07 (72892), Modification No. MC 14 -04, and
Architectural Design Review No. ADR 14 -06 with a Categorical Exemption under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for a new 3,995 square -foot, two - story,
Art -deco style office building that would be subdivided into two commercial
condominium units at 130 S. First Avenue — see Planning Commission Resolution No.
1924 (Attachment No. 1). There was no public opposition to the project, and the one
vote against the project was due to parking concerns. On November 18, 2014, Mayor
Pro Tempore, Gary Kovacic called up for review the Planning Commission's decision.
The proposed project is subject to approval of a Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the
office building into two commercial condominium units, a Zoning Modification to allow
nine (9) on -site parking spaces in lieu of sixteen (16) required with two other minor
deviations from the City's parking standards, and Architectural Design Review approval
of the new building. It is recommended that the City Council affirm the Planning
Commission decision.
BACKGROUND
The subject site is a 6,750 square -foot, corner lot developed with a one - story, 5,000
square -foot commercial building constructed in 1952 with four (4) on -site parking
spaces. There is a 10 -foot (10') access easement over the easterly portion of the
property that provides vehicular access to the parking areas at the rear of the adjacent
TPM 14 -07, MC 14 -04 & ADR 14 -06

commercial properties to the north. The subject property is zoned MU, Mixed Use — see
Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial Photo with Zoning Information.
DISCUSSION
The applicant proposes to demolish the existing 5,000 square -foot, one -story
commercial building and construct a new 3,995 square -foot, two -story commercial office
building with nine (9) on -site parking spaces. The design of the building is
contemporary Art Deco in style. The applicant states that their real estate development
company will occupy the entire building following construction, but the building is
proposed to be subdivided into two commercial condominium units; a 995 square -foot,
ground floor unit, and a 3,000 square -foot, two -story commercial unit. In addition, there
is a second -story roof garden — see Attachment No. 3 for the architectural plans.
The proposed new building will be a highly visible addition to the area — see Attachment
No. 4 for photos of the subject property and the surrounding properties. And, while the
request for a reduced number of on -site parking spaces (9 in lieu of 16 required) is
significant, it is an improvement over the existing parking situation of four (4) spaces in
lieu of 20 required for the 5,000 square -foot commercial building, which is an existing
legal- nonconforming situation. The proposed project reduces the parking deficiency by
nine (9) spaces.
A new driveway approach will provide access to a nine (9) space surface parking lot at
the rear of the building, and the existing driveway approach that provides access to the
ten -foot (10') easement at the rear of the property will remain. New trees and
landscaping, a new trash enclosure, and new parking lot lights will be added at the rear
of the building.
Parkina Modifications
Because of the small size of the property and the ten -foot (10') access easement along
the east property line, the applicant is requesting the following Zoning Modifications
from the City's parking requirements:
1. Nine (9) on -site parking spaces in lieu of 16 required for a 3,995 square -foot
office building.
2. An 18' -0" stall depth for one (1) parking space in lieu of the 20 -foot requirement
in order to accommodate a new trash enclosure.
3. Three parking spaces within 20 feet of the new driveway approach in lieu of the
20 -foot setback from the parking lot entrance.

Section 9292.1.4 of the Arcadia Municipal Code states that the purpose of the
Modification procedures is for the following:
1. Secure an appropriate improvement of a lot;
2. Prevent an unreasonable hardship; or
3. Promote uniformity of development.
The applicant has conducted a parking survey of the public parking in the vicinity of the
site — see Attachment No. 5. The survey indicates that of the 70 public parking spaces
within the immediate vicinity of the site, parking usage during the weekday business
hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. peaks at 46 spaces during the Friday lunch hour, with an
average peak parking demand per day of 34 spaces. For the non -peak hours, parking
usage averaged about 25 spaces. The public parking in the vicinity is sufficient to
accommodate any spill -over parking demand of the proposed development.
The requested Modification to allow nine (9) parking spaces in lieu of 16 required will
secure an appropriate improvement of the subject lot as the development will
substantially improve the parking situation of the site by providing five (5) additional
parking spaces for a building with a lesser parking requirement than the existing
nonconforming development. The street parking along First Avenue and the intersecting
east -west streets accommodate the majority of the parking demand of the local
businesses. The parking survey prepared by the applicant shows that during normal
weekday business hours, there is adequate public parking to accommodate any
increased parking demand by the new development.
The requested Modification to allow an 18 -foot depth rather than a 20 -foot depth for one
of the parking stalls will secure an appropriate improvement by allowing construction of
a covered trash enclosure in accordance with pollution reduction requirements at the
minimum 15 -foot setback from the east property line. Also, an 18 -foot deep parking stall
is the standard in some other jurisdictions, and is the standard in the California Building
Code for disabled- access parking spaces.
The Modification to locate parking spaces within 20 feet of the parking lot entrance is
appropriate given the small size of the lot, the limited number of parking spaces, and the
low level of traffic on Bonita Street. The intent of the 20 -foot requirement is to ensure
that traffic circulation on an adjacent street is not impeded by vehicles waiting for
another vehicle to back out of a parking space. But, for a small parking lot off of a side
street, it is not critical. The proposed parking lot design is the most efficient use of the
available parking area. The requested Parking Modifications and the proposed design
will secure an appropriate improvement of the lot.

Architectural Desian Review
The contemporary Art Deco design features off -white walls, a gray metal awning
wrapping around the ground floor along the west, south, and east sides of the building,
gray storefront glass, blue second -story accents, and Art Deco detailing at various
locations, including a clock tower entrance feature. The proposed design of the building
is consistent with the City's Commercial Design Guidelines and appropriate for the
surrounding commercial district. This area on First Avenue consists predominately of
Mid - Century Modern buildings constructed in the 1940s and 50s. There are several Art
Deco style buildings in the vicinity, particularly the half -block diagonally across the
intersection from the subject site, which includes the building occupied by Belle n Beau
photography studio that was built in 1949 — see Attachment No. 4 for Photos of the
Subject Property and Surrounding Properties. The use of blue accents, gray metal
awnings, a clock tower entrance feature, and angled windows on the second floor are a
fanciful and contemporary take on the Mid - Century Modern and Art Deco architecture
found in the area. The design uses similar materials and architectural features found on
buildings in the immediate vicinity. The building will be unique in appearance, but
architecturally compatible with the surrounding commercial district, and an improvement
over the existing concrete block building.
Tentative Parcel Map
The proposal for two commercial condominium units requires that they be subdivided
through the Tentative Parcel Map process — see Attachment No. 6 for the Tentative
Parcel Map. The proposed subdivision complies with the subdivision regulations of the
Arcadia Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will not violate any
requirements of a California Regional Water Quality Control Board. The following two
findings are required for approval of a Tentative Parcel Map:
A.1. That the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement, is consistent with the City's General Plan.
The proposed project will remove the existing 5,000 square -foot, one -story
commercial building and replace it with a new 3,995 square -foot, two -story
commercial building that is consistent in character with the Mixed Use designation
as described in the City's General Plan.
A.2. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the community
sewer system will comply with existing requirements prescribed by a California
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The Arcadia Public Works Services Department confirmed that the proposed
development will be adequately served by the existing sewer infrastructure and
the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board will be
satisfied.

Research on Public Parking in Downtown Arcadia
FOR 130 SOUTH FIRST AVE PROJECT
SH
Background Introduction '00
Arcadia is centered at Huntington Drive and First Ave. the City has made extensive
efforts to create a pleasant pedestrian experience and attractive business fronts. However, the area
has struggled commercially and has never really found the right mix of businesses to allow the
corridor to thrive. (2 -39, Land Use and Community Design, Arcadia General Plan, Nov 2010)
Founded on 2013, Sun's Residential Development LLC is going to invest on the Downtown Arcadia to
support the development of the area. Sun's Residential Development owns the land on 130 South
First Ave, where a brand new office building is proposed for own use. Due to the constraints of the
land size and other building codes, the parking requirement could not be met. This research is to
study the off - street parking in Downtown Arcadia to see the current parking conditions in the area.
Research Areas
The research areas are:
(1) South First Ave, from Alta St to Bonita St.
(Z) South First Ave, from Bonita St to California St.
(3) Bonita St, five properties to the east of First Ave.
Those three areas are the most likely areas that the guests
for 130 South First Ave will park at.
S11 Z
SH
Methods .rte= A R���.
The methods we use for this study are as follows:
(1) Counting the total parking spaces in those three areas.
(2) Counting the number of cars that park on those three areas in each hour.
(3) Analyzing the data using graphics and charts.
(4) The time is from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday.
(5) One week data from 09/15/2014 to 09/19/2014. No special events observed.
(6) Exclude the two parking spaces in front of the Citi Bank, which are 24 min parking.
(7) Exclude any irregular parking that is not on the space such as street tree trimming parking.

Conclusions
SH
A02 i�Z1% 1,4,
From the Hourly Analysis, it is obvious that during the lunch hour (11:00- 3:00), the parking numbers
in South First Ave (Bonita St to California St) is much higher. The peak is 20.6 out of 27 spaces occupied.
One explanation could be the parking shortage for the popular restaurants Boiling Point. The other
two areas has very smooth parking situations during the day.
From the Daily Analysis, the parking numbers in South First Ave (Bonita St to California St) is the
highest, and the parking numbers in Bonita St is the lowest. More parking spaces are occupied on
Friday, due to the weekend effect (more entertainment on Friday).
From the Percentage Analysis, in average all three Areas have less than half of the parking spaces
occupied. South First Ave (Bonita St to California St) has 45% occupied, South First Ave (Alta to Bonita
St) has 35% occupied, and Bonita St has only 17% occupied.
Suggestions
SH
,f-= .:.Z!%
According to the Analysis, we have the following suggestions for future guests that want to park
near 130 S. 1st Ave:
(1) We recommend avoid parking during lunch time on the South First Ave (Bonita St to
California St).
(Z) We recommend parking on the South First Ave (Alta to Bonita St) except Friday.
(3) We recommend parking on Bonita St in front of 130 S. 1st Ave everyday.
(4) We recommend using public transit and bicycles for a green future.
