BUTLER ASSOCIATE PLANNER Robert J. Low 333-421 East Huntington Drive Conditional Use Permit and Precise Plan Review to construct an eight story (includingmezzaninel building which will include offices, a bank with a drive-up teller, rr,<t-J.'lt'ant. delicatessen with outdoor seating an~ an aucomoDlle dealership. Approximately 204,732 square feet (4.7 acres) 582.72' on Huntington Drive The subject site is developed with the Arcadia Datsun Automobile dealership, zoned CPD-l. North: South: East: Vacant; zoned CPD-l Mixed commercial uses; zoned CPD-l Santa Anita Wash and recreational vehicle storag~; zoned CPD-l Automobile Body Shop, mixed resi- dential uses; zoned CPD-l West: Planned Development Area-l The applicant is proposing a 7-story building, plus a mezzanine, 85' in height (not including a 10' high mechanical equipment penthouse). There will be two basement levels. Page 1 , . . . Based upon staff's calculation (taken from the scaled plot plan), the building will contain 177,120 square feet of gross floor area, including the basement levels (88,720 square feet of the total is in basement area). The uses will be as follows: Use Gross Floor Area Location Automobile Dealership (Showroom area) (Service Area, new car storage, parts storage) (offices) 112,020 sq. ft. (13,220)sq.ft. 1st floor, mezzanine & basements (1st Floor) Bank Delicatessen Restaurant Office area (88,400)sq.ft. (10,400)sq.ft. 6,000 sq.ft. 600 sq.ft. 9,750 sq.ft. 48,750 sq.ft. (basement level) (mezzanine) 1st floor 1st floor 2nd floor 3rd - 7th floors The building will be contemporary in design and earth tone in colors (cream, gold and brown). The building will be set back 30' from the Huntington Drive property line, 80' from the ~esterly property line, and 175' to 305' from the easterly property line. A canopy over the entrance area will be loca- ted within 12' of the Huntington Drive property line. A 115,700 sq.ft., four-level parking structure approximately 35' in height will be located at the northwest corner of the site (each level of the parking structure will contain approximately 28,925 sq.ft.). The parking structure will be set back 20' from the northerly, easterly and westerly property lines. The "H" overlay requires 20' plus 2' for each story in excess of two (24'). Staff does not believe the setback of 20' in lieu of 24' is a substantial deviation from the Code require- ment and would recommend approval of a modification to 20'. PARKING 494 parking spaces are being proposed; 168 stalls ground le~el parking and 326 stalls in the parking structure. The applicant has indicated in his application that the upper level of the parking structure will be utilized for vehicle storage; this would result in 412 parking spaces for public use. All spaces comply with code in regards to stall length and width. Precise C.U.P. 81-13 & Plan Revie~ 8~-2 11/24/81 Page 2 . . . . , 410 spaces are required, based upon the following parking requirements: Parking Requir. Based on Gross Floor Area 6 spaces/l00l sq.ft. 20 spaces/l00l sq.ft. 10 spaces/l00l sq.ft. 1 space/300 sq.ft. Use Banx-- Delicatessen Restaurant Offices (inc. (mezzanine) Required parking 36 12 98 198 Subtotal Automobile Showroom 5 spaces/l00l sq.ft. , 344 66 410 TOTAL Because of the unique nature of the automobile dealership, parking has been calculated for the shorwoom and office areas only. The basement areas are to be used exclusively for the automobile dealership, i.e. parts storage, car storage and service area, and are secondary to the automobile dealership. Access to the site will be from two driveways on Huntington Drive. There will be a separate driveway from the drive-up teller window which will be for egress only. Because of the minimal distance between this driveway and the inter- section of Fifth Avenue and Huntington Drive, staff would recommend that egress from the easterly driveway be restricted to right turns only. Also, there could be a conflict between cars exiting from the drive-up teller window and cars exiting from the westerly driveway. The Public Works Department has advised staff that a continuous left hand turn lane will be installed along Huntington Drive in the near future. Staff has concern with the parking layout in regards to parking cir- culation, both in the ground level parking area as well as the parking structure. Staff would recommend that the applicant work with this Department in redesigning the layout of the parking area, and that any change in the design would provide a minimum of 410 parking spaces available for public use. LANDSCAPING There will be a m~n~mum 10' to 20' landscape buffer along the Hunting- ton Drive property line. A 6' - 7' planting area will be located along the westerly property line which will be increased to 20' adjacent to the parking structure. A 7' landscape buffer will be located along the easterly property line which will increase to 20' adjacent to the C.U.P. 81-13 & Precise Plan Review 81-1 11/24/81 Page 3 parking structure. There is a 20' landscape area north of the parking structure. . Landscaping exceeds the minimum 10% required by Code; the proposal provides for 15 - 18% landscaping. A 6' high block wall will be located along the easterly, northerly and westerly property line. This wall will decrease in height to 3' in the front setback area. SPECIAL USES Bank with drive-up teller: The 6,000 sq. ft. bank will be located on the westerly portion of the ground floor. The drive-up teller will be located on the westerly side of the building and will be served by a separate driveway. The 600 sq.ft. delicatessen is proposed on the ground floor and will have outdoor seating in the patio area on the east side of the building. The 9,750 sq.ft. restaurant is second floor of the building. this time. presently proposed to be located on the The seating capacity is unknown at . The automobile dealership will be a full service facility. As noted previously the showroom will be lpcated on the ground floor with offices located in the mezzanine. New car storage will be located in the 1st level basement and the 4th level of the parking structure. The service area will be located in the first level basement area and will have access from the north side of the structure. Parts storage will be located in the 2nd level basement. PRECISE PLAN REVIEW As per the CPD-l Ordinance, this zone is "intended to promote appro- priate commercial land uses and encourage the highest possible quality of design and environment, to coordinate developments on adjacent par- cels of property, in order to achieve a functionally and visually in- tegrated development". This is the second project to be submitted pursuant to the plan review procedure set forth in the CPD-l regulations. The first project was the hotel which has a Spanish-Mediterranean treatment. The contemporary design of this building and the earth tone colors will be compatible with the proposed hotel. . The applicant is tentatively proposing the following signs to be placed on the building: . 1. 2. 3. Arcadia Datsun sign in brown 20" block letters. Bank sign in brown 20" block letters. Address identification sign - 5' high block letters C.U.P. 81-13 & Precise Plan Review 81-2 11/24/81 Page 4 , A free-standing identification sign is proposed; the size and location to be determined at a later date. . The applicant has indicated that other signs may be requested as the plans and tenants for the building become finalized. All signs should be subject to subsequent review by the City. Street furniture has not been proposed at this time and will be subject to review at a later date. Staff has reviewed the plans and elevations, and believes that the pro- posed project complies with the architectural considerations set forth in the precise plan review procedure. - The findings of the Planning Commission will be forwarded to the City Council. The Council is required to hold a noticed (in the newspaper) hearing'and will consider the Commission's findings and any public testimony before acting on the Precise Plan. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION This project has been reviewed by the Water Department, Public Works Department, Fire Department, Police Department and Redevelopment Agen- cy. There were no comments from the Water Department or Redevelopment Agency. The comments from the Fire Department, Police Department and Public Works Department have been attached. . ANALYSIS The bank with drive-up teller, restaurant, delicatessen and automobile dealership are permitted uses in the CPD-l zone with an approved conditional use permit and are consistent with the General Plan desig- nation of PDA-l. Based upon the City's parking requirements, staff feels that parking is adequate for the proposed uses. If, at a later date, the auto- mobile dealership was discontinued and the showroom area and most of the basement levels are converted to offices, the top level of the parking structure along with the basement area north of the office tower could provide the parking necessary for the additional offices. The parking area should be redesigned to provide better circulation within the site. The site is comprised of several lots under two separate ownerships. These lots should be tied together by a covenant prior to issuance of any building permits. It is staff's opinion that the size, configuration and location of this site is appropriate for the proposed development. . C.U.P. 81-13 & Precise Plan Review 81-2 11/24/81 Page 5 . .
