HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 1 - CUP 15-04DATE: August 25, 2015 TO: Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission FROM: Jim Kasama, Community Development Administrator By: Jordan Chamberlin, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 1945 – APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. CUP 15-04 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A 1,550 SQUARE-FOOT RESTAURANT WITH BEER AND WINE SERVICE AT 815 W. NAOMI AVENUE, UNIT E Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 1945 SUMMARY The applicant is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 15- 04 for a 1,550 square-foot restaurant (dba: The Barn) with beer and wine service and seating for 41 customers at 815 W. Naomi Avenue, Unit E, in the Arcadia Hub Shopping Center. It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve CUP 15-04 and adopt Resolution No. 1945 (Attachment No. 1) that incorporates the requisite findings for a Categorical Exemption and approval of a Conditional Use Permit, and the conditions of approval as listed in this staff report. BACKGROUND The subject commercial unit at 815 W. Naomi Avenue is located in the Arcadia Hub Shopping Center, a 349,768 square-foot commercial center. The subject unit is currently occupied by a beauty supply store – see Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial Photo with Zoning Information and additional photos of the subject property. There are 1,138 parking spaces at the center. Previously, a parking demand study was needed for every tenant change that required additional parking because by City code, the parking for the site is deficient. These parking studies, however, always indicated that CUP 15-04 815 W. Naomi Avenue, Unit E August 25, 2015 Page 2 of 7 there is a sufficient parking supply to meet the increased demands of new tenants. The location of the available parking; however, was not necessarily near the proposed use. The property owner proposed a parking plan that established a baseline condition of building occupancies and parking utilization based on various parking areas at the Hub Shopping Center, and proposed a method for evaluating and ascribing the available parking for future use changes. On June 23, 2015, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1941, which approved MP 15-02, for a parking plan for the Arcadia Hub Shopping Center – see Attachment No. 3 for Resolution No. 1941 and the June 23, 2015 Planning Commission Staff Report. The parking plan replaced the necessity for a parking demand study for every tenant change and established an administrative process for determining additional parking needs for tenant changes. The parking plan was approved for a term of five years or until the total number of available spaces, 221, are utilized. The parking plan established a credit factor of 1.85 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for the existing uses, and the Arcadia Parking Code requirements are used to determine the number of parking spaces required for a new use. The credit is subtracted from the new requirement and the result is the number of net new parking spaces required. This number is deducted from the running total of available parking spaces that City staff monitors. As of August 20, 2015, 182 parking spaces are available. PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to open a 1,550 square-foot restaurant with beer and wine service – see Attachment No. 4 for the site plan and proposed floor plan. The restaurant will have a 729 square-foot, indoor seating area that can accommodate up to 41 seats and a 456 square-foot kitchen and food preparation area for up to eight employees based on the occupancy code requirements. The proposed business hours are from 5:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. with operational hours from 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., daily. A Conditional Use Permit is required for this restaurant because the unit exceeds 1,500 square feet of gross floor area, provides more than 12 seats, will be serving alcoholic beverages, and will be open to the public between the hours of midnight (12:00 a.m.) and 6:00 a.m.. ANALYSIS The proposed restaurant will occupy a unit that is currently occupied by a beauty supply store. The application has been reviewed by the Arcadia Police Department, and they have no objections to the requested hours of operation or the beer and wine service. Late hours of operation and beer and wine service are commonly available at full- service restaurants, including restaurants in the Arcadia Hub Shopping Center. In addition to Arcadia’s building and safety codes, the applicant is subject to licensing by CUP 15-04 815 W. Naomi Avenue, Unit E August 25, 2015 Page 3 of 7 the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, and the health codes administered by the Los Angeles County Health Department. The parking requirement for the proposed restaurant is 16 parking spaces based on a requirement of 10 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. The parking plan approved by MP 15-02 applies a credit factor of 1.85 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for the existing use. With the applied credit, 13 parking spaces are required for the proposed restaurant, which reduces the total available parking in the Hub Shopping Center from 182 spaces to 169 spaces. Therefore, the 13 space increase in required parking for the proposed restaurant can be accommodated by the existing parking. With 169 parking spaces still available, the proposed restaurant is compatible with the surrounding uses, and complies with the City’s General Plan and Zoning Code. The adjacent trash enclosure, located behind the subject building, does not comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. It is recommended that the property owner/applicant provide a fully-roofed trash and recyclables enclosure that complies with City codes and the NPDES requirements. The following Conditions of Approval are recommended: 1. Business hours shall be from 5:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. with operational hours from 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., daily. 2. Alcoholic beverage service shall be limited to beer and wine. 3. Tenant improvements to the interior of the commercial unit shall be consistent with the approved floor plan, and shall include, but not be limited to compliance with the following items, subject to the satisfaction of the Building Official and Fire Marshal, or their designees: a. Illuminated signage shall be provided above both exit doors; b. Emergency lighting shall be provided in the dining area; and c. Any and all decorative materials shall be flame retardant. 4. The Best Management Practices (BMPs) required of restaurants by the NPDES shall be complied with by the applicant/property owner to the satisfaction of the Public Works Services Director, or designee. Any changes to the facility may be subject to permits and having fully detailed plans submitted for plan check review and approval by all City, County, regional, State, and federal agencies having jurisdiction for compliance with any and all applicable regulations. 5. The use approved by CUP 15-04 is limited to a restaurant with beer and wine service and shall be operated and maintained in a manner that is consistent with the proposal and plans submitted and approved for CUP 15-04, and shall be subject to periodic inspections, after which the provisions of this Conditional Use CUP 15-04 815 W. Naomi Avenue, Unit E August 25, 2015 Page 4 of 7 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. 6. 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, including provision of a trash and recyclables enclosure(s) that complies with City codes and the NPDES, shall be complied with by the property owner/applicant to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director, or their respective designees. Any changes to the existing facility may be subject to building permits after having fully detailed plans submitted for plan check review and approval by the aforementioned City officials and employees, or designees. 7. Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of approval for CUP 15-04 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of any approvals, which could result in the closing of the restaurant. 8. 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. 9. Approval of CUP 15-04 shall not be of effect unless on or before 30 calendar days after Planning Commission adoption of the Resolution, the property owner and applicant have executed and filed with the Community Development Administrator or designee an Acceptance Form available from the Development Services Department to indicate awareness and acceptance of these conditions of approval. 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: CUP 15-04 815 W. Naomi Avenue, Unit E August 25, 2015 Page 5 of 7 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: As a commercial use, the proposed restaurant with beer and wine service is consistent with the Zoning and Land Use Designation of the site. The restaurant is required to be in compliance with applicable Health Department regulations, and with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, and will not adversely impact public health or welfare, and will not be injurious to the property or improvements of the site or those within the vicinity. 2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized. Facts to Support the Finding: In the C-2 Zone, a restaurant that exceeds 1,500 gross square feet with beer and wine service that is open to the public after midnight (12:00 a.m.) to 6:00 a.m., is allowed with an approved Conditional Use Permit per Sections 9275.1.53.5, 9275.1.53.6, and 9263.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code. The Arcadia Police Department reviewed the application and did not have any concerns with the hours of operation or the beer and wine service. The proposed use would serve as a public convenience and would not be detrimental to the area or create a public nuisance. 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. Facts to Support the Finding: The applicant will remodel the interior of the existing 1,550 square-foot commercial unit. There will be no exterior alterations, except signage. The site, as it exists, will accommodate the proposed use. The restaurant will require 13 additional parking spaces, but based on the parking plan approved by MP 15-02, 169 parking spaces will still be available in the center. Therefore, the parking is adequate to accommodate the proposed use and the other existing uses. 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 site is located along W. Naomi Avenue with access to the shopping center parking lot from Duarte Road and Naomi Avenue. These streets are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the traffic generated by the proposed restaurant. 5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan. CUP 15-04 815 W. Naomi Avenue, Unit E August 25, 2015 Page 6 of 7 Facts to Support the Finding: A restaurant with beer and wine service is a commercial use consistent with the Commercial General Plan Land Use Designation of the site. The activities that will take place at the restaurant are consistent with the allowable uses described in the General Plan. 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, or their respective designees. Any changes to the existing facility may be subject to building permits after having fully detailed plans submitted for plan check review and approval by the aforementioned City officials and employees, or designees. Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that the Planning Commission approve Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 15-04, subject to the aforementioned Conditions of Approval. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS If it is determined that no significant physical alterations to the site are necessary, then this project 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 for the use of an existing facility. See Attachment No. 5 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment. PUBLIC NOTICE Public hearing notices for CUP 15- 04 were mailed on August 14, 2015, to the property owners, tenants, and occupants of those properties that are within 300 feet of the Hub Shopping Center. 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 August 19, 2015, no comments were received in response to the public hearing notices. CUP 15-04 815 W.

MP 15-02 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A PARKING MODIFICATION PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE ARCADIA HUB SHOPPING CENTER AT 1201 to 1325 S. BALDWIN AVENUE, and 733, 745 and 815 W. NAOMI AVENUE Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 1941 SUMMARY The applicant, Patsy Ma on behalf of Baldwin Arcadia Center, LP, is requesting approval of a parking modification for the entire Arcadia Hub Shopping Center that would replace a requirement for a parking demand study for every tenant change with a parking plan that establishes an administrative process for determining additional parking space needs for tenant changes for a term of five years or until the total number of available spaces is reached, whichever comes first. The plan will not physically expand or alter the existing parking facilities. It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve MP 15-02 and adopt the attached Resolution No. 1941 (Attachment No. 1) that incorporates a finding that this project qualifies as a Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the requisite findings for approval of a Modification Permit, and the conditions of approval as listed in this staff report. BACKGROUND The Arcadia Hub shopping center was originally constructed in 1957 and fronts Duarte Road, Baldwin Avenue, and Naomi Avenue. The site is approximately 772,134 square feet in area with surface parking and a single deck parking structure adjacent to the Burlington Coat Factory. Major tenants include the Burlington Coat Factory/Baby Depot, L.A. Fitness, Spring Bamboo restaurant, and Vons Pavilions - refer to Attachment No. 2 for an aerial photo and zoning information. The center has 1,138 parking spaces. The Resolution No. 1941 – MP 15-02 Arcadia Hub Shopping Center June 23, 2015 – Page 2 of 7 westerly portion of the center is zoned C-2, General Commercial, and the portion along Baldwin Avenue is zoned C-2 & H4. The parking for the site is deficient by the City’s Code, but there does not appear to be a parking capacity problem. For a development of this size and type, the parking code requirement is generally not realistic because the mix of uses creates a synergy where different uses have different peaks, some uses are underachieved, and a patron may visit more than one tenant using one parking space. All these factors contribute to an overall more efficient use of the parking lot. In the interest of allowing the owner to change out tenants, the City has allowed tenant changes based on parking demand studies that evaluated the overall impact of each proposed tenant on the parking situation. The studies have indicated that overall, there is a sufficient parking supply to meet the increased demands. However, considering the site layout, a significant share of the parking supply is undesirable and inconvenient to the public, behind buildings and on the deck of the parking structure. Because there have been several recent use changes approved, with one being a 15,000 square foot restaurant at 1271 S. Baldwin Avenue, the property owner’s representative was asked to wait on additional requests until all current changes are completed and to determine a more comprehensive way to analyze the parking impact on new use changes. PROPOSAL The request is to replace a requirement for a parking demand study for every tenant change with a parking plan that establishes an administrative process for determining additional parking space needs for tenant changes for a term of five years of until the total number of available spaces are reached, whichever comes first. Arcadia Hub Shopping Center is the largest shopping center outside of Westfield Santa Anita Mall and it is currently has 349,768 square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) and 1,138 parking spaces. The current land uses at this center include: • 157,274 sf of GLA retail • 45,084 sf GLA non-retail (schools, banks, day spa, dental) • 42,020 sf of GLA restaurant • 43,000 sf of GLA health/fitness center (L.A. Fitness) • 62,390 sf of GLA supermarket (Pavilions) The center is unique since it was designed for small retail businesses, it does not have an allowance for non-retail uses built into the parking rate like Westfield Santa Anita Mall does, each use is calculated as a single, standalone use, and the parking requirement does not take into consideration the mix of uses and the different parking demands. Because this center was designed for small retail businesses, it has a high turnover since the tenants do not have the same lifespan as the large established business and those spaces are usually filled with other uses such as real estate office, Resolution No. 1941 – MP 15-02 Arcadia Hub Shopping Center June 23, 2015 – Page 3 of 7 art school, and restaurants. Every parking study that was conducted for this center has shown that the parking demand rates are very low as a whole, versus what the code expects the demand to be, therefore the activity is much lower than an average center of this size and this site does not generate a high level of parking demand. The property owner has prepared a parking plan that establishes a baseline condition of building occupancies and parking utilization, and proposes a method of evaluating future use changes in a conservative and realistic manner. For the purpose of the parking plan, the site parking was divided into eight zones with the number of spaces in each zone, as shown below: The parking data was gathered in October 2014, and it represents a snapshot of the parking conditions after all the permitted use changes were in place and the restaurant activity from the two newest restaurants had leveled out. The plan includes an inventory of the total usable building space and any unoccupied space at the time the parking data was gathered. The parking plan in the master parking study documented the parking demand for weekday and weekend conditions, and the hour-by-hour results per area for both are shown in Attachment No. 3. The weekend results were used as the baseline condition because they reflect the higher usage of the two. The results indicate that the parking demand for the entire site at the weekend 3:00 PM peak hour is 627 spaces. Dividing this number into the total occupied building space of 339,248 square feet (10,520 square feet of space is currently vacant), results in an peak usage of 1.85 spaces for 1,000 square feet. As a comparison, the City code requirement for a regional shopping center is 4.75 spaces per 1,000 square feet. However, for a retail center of this size, the code requires the parking for each use to be calculated separately as a stand-alone need, and results in a total parking requirement of 1,946 spaces. Resolution No. 1941 – MP 15-02 Arcadia Hub Shopping Center June 23, 2015 – Page 4 of 7 Given this information, a conservative and realistic approach was developed to evaluate the feasibility of allowing more parking-intensive use changes. Two factors were proposed to achieve the goal; no additional available parking spaces in zones E-G shall be considered in the plan, and when all other areas reach 90% capacity, the entire parking lot will be considered full. Zones E-G are considered undesirable and inconvenient, and the 90% capacity factor is commonly used in studies of large parking lots. As a result, the baseline data and parameters for the parking plan are as follows: • Total number of parking spaces on site - 1,138 • Number of parking spaces in zones A-D and H - 836 • Number of parking spaces in zones E-G - 302 • Number of unoccupied spaces in zones E-G during peak weekend hour (3:00 PM) eliminated from further consideration - 207 • Number of spaces considered capacity of zones A-D and H (90%) - 752 • Number of occupied parking spaces in zones A-D and H during peak weekend hour (3:00 PM) - 531 • Number of unoccupied parking spaces in zones A-D and H during peak weekend hour (3:00 PM) - 305 • Number of unoccupied parking spaces in zones A-D and H during peak weekend hour to reach capacity (90%) - 221 As a result of eliminating available parking in zones E-G from further consideration, and limiting the capacity to remaining available spaces to 90% of the total, the conservative net number of available spaces out of the 752 spaces is 221. The parking plan then recommends a step-by-step process for evaluating future use changes as follows: • Determine credit for existing use - Use the site specific factor of 1.85 spaces per 1,000 SF • Determine the new use type • Use Arcadia Parking Code rates to determine the number of parking spaces required • Subtract the credit for the existing use from the new requirement • The result is the number of net new parking spaces required Resolution No. 1941 – MP 15-02 Arcadia Hub Shopping Center June 23, 2015 – Page 5 of 7 • Deduct this amount from the available parking supply (starting with 221) • Keep a running total of available parking supply after each new request. No use changes shall be allowed for parking needs exceeding the 221 spaces. The recommendation is to use the parking plan for a period of five years or until the 221 space supply is used up, whichever comes first. At that point, only like for like use changes would be allowed, and the results of this parking plan would need to be analyzed to determine if the parking demand is substantially different. A traffic analysis was also analyzed of the four nearest intersections: • Golden West Avenue and Duarte Road • Baldwin Avenue and Duarte Road • Baldwin Avenue and Naomi Avenue • Baldwin Avenue and Camino Real Avenue The study also took a conservative approach, assumed higher intensity than retail uses for new tenants and the study demonstrated that the programmatic study for the entire shopping center would not generate any significant traffic impacts. FINDINGS 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 As stated earlier, this center is the second largest shopping center outside of Westfield Santa Anita Mall and the largest neighborhood shopping center in the City, but it is unique in that each use is considered as a standalone use with its own parking rate and based on the mix of uses the center has a very low demand rate as a whole versus what the Code “expects” the demand to be. Therefore, approval of the parking modification to the entire center would replace a requirement for a parking demand study for every tenant change with a parking plan that establishes an administrative process for determining additional parking space requirements on tenant changes for a term of five years of until the total number of spaces are reached, whichever comes first. The new program would be an appropriate improvement to the center since it Resolution No. 1941 – MP 15-02 Arcadia Hub Shopping Center June 23, 2015 – Page 6 of 7 would also allow the property owner to repurpose the buildings with the right mix of uses for this center while still providing the now-required parking requirements for those units. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT This project would not physically expand or alter the existing parking facilities, and qualified as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption per the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. Refer to Attachment No. 4 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment. PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS Public hearing notices for this item were mailed to the property owners and tenants of those properties that are located within 300 feet of the subject property. Staff did not receive any comments during the notification period. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission conditionally approve the project and find that the project is exempt per CEQA Section 15301, subject to the following conditions of approval. 1. This Parking Plan is approved for evaluating use changes requiring up to an additional 221 parking spaces, or for a five (5) year period, whichever comes first. 2. The management company should regularly post maps to remind their tenants that their employees must be in the designated employee parking areas, as new employees are hired may not be aware of this requirement. 3. 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, Modification Committee, 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.
