J~~ 1182 , . . NOVEMBER 10, 1981 FROM: PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF ARCADIA PLANNING DEPARTMENT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 81-12 TO: CASE NO.: PREPARED BY: CORKRAN W. NICHOLSON ASSISTANT PLANNER GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: LOCATION: California Federal Savings & Loan Association 41 East Live Oak Avenue REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit to operate two (2) drive- up teller tube lanes which would be added to an ex\sting Savings and Loan Branch facility. Approximately 37,008 square feet (.85 acres) 170.97 feet on Live Oak Avenue 184.70 feet on Louise Avenue LOT AREA: . FRONTAGE: EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: The subject site is developed with a Savings and Loan branch facility; zoned C-O & D. North: South: East: West: Single-family dwelling; zoned R-l Retail businesses; zoned C-2 A real estate office; zoned C-O & D Single-family dwellings; zoned R-l, and a vacant parcel; zoned C-O & D GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: The subject property is designated as commercial. HISTORY In 1964 the proposed plans for the construction of the existing sav- ings and loan building went before the Planning Commission as a result of a variance application, since at the time C-O zoning did not permit financial institutions to be conducted in a C-O zone. As a result of the hearing before the Planning Commission, it was recommended that the text of the zoning regulations be changed to permit banks and savings and loan associations to be located in C-O zones. . 11/10/8l Page 1 . . . The City Council, at its meeting of July 7, 1961, adopted Ordinance No. 1247 which amended the C-O regulations to include banks and savings and loan facilities; the present 7,880 square foot building was then constructed in the latter part of 1964. PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing the addition of two (2) drive-up tellertube lanes; one land which would be built immediately and the other in the future. The proposed tellertube lanes would utilize an existing 25'-0" wide aisle which runs along the easterly side of the building. This aisle presently provides ingress and egress to nine (9) public parking spaces (see attached plot plarl. In order to provide the tellertube lanes with one-way southbound ingress with limited traffic, said parking spaces would be designated to all day employee parking as in- dicated on the proposed plans. PARKING AND LANDSCAPING There are a total of forty-nine (49) parking spaces existing within the perimeters of the parking lot; forty-eight' (48) parking spaces are required based on six (6) parking spaces per 1,001 square feet of gross building floor area. The applicant has provided (see attached) a graph which illustrates a typical week of parking occupancy. Said graph indicates that there are 14 employee cars on the site at all times, and the highest parking spaces occupancy is 39 spaces on Thursday, 4:00 - 4:40 p.m.; leaving 10 spaces unoccupied. The parking area will maintain two existing interior landscaped islands and perimeter planting buffer strips with a 6'-0" high ma- sonry wall which separates the parking area from the adjacent residen- tial and commercial properties. ANALYSIS A savings and loan branch with a tellertube facility is a permitted use in a C-O & D zone with an approved conditional use permit. It is staff's opinion that the site is appropriate for this type of business, and the circulation and parking are adequate to accommodate the proposed use. However, during a field investigation of the subject site it was noted by staff that the dense landscaping which separates the parking area from Live Oak Avenue interferes with the visibility of pedestrians and vehicular egress and ingress to the property as per the visibility standards on file with the Planning Department. Therefore it is staff's recommendation that the landscape buffers along Live Oak Avenue and C.U.P. 81-12 11/10/81 Page 2 Louise Avenue be sO maintained that the height of the ground cover and shrubs shall not exceed a maximum height of 3'-0" as per the visibility ~ standards on file with the Planning Department. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substan- tial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historical or aesthetic significance. Therefore, a Negative Declara- tion has been prepared for this project. Before the Planning Commission or the City Council take action on this project, they should "move to approve and fi le the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment". RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Department recommends approval of this project subject to the following conditions: 1. That a ramp for the handicapped shall be constructed at the north- east corner of Live Oak and Louise Avenue to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. ~ 2. That the landscaped buffers along Live Oak Avenue and Louise Ave- nue be so maintained that the height of the ground cover and shrubs shall not exceed a maximum height of 3'-0" as per the visi- bility standards on file with the Planning Department. 3. That C.U.P. 81-12 shall not take effect until the owner and applicant have executed a form available at the Planning Depart- ment indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. After taking action on this application, the Planning Commission should direct staff to prepare a resolution for adoption at its next meeting. The Planning Commission's action shall not be final until adoption of the resolution. The appeal period for this action com- mences at the time the Commission adopts the resolution. ~ C.U.P. 81-12 11/10/81 Page 3 , \ 9 piN".' ~ 91." _ ~r- ",,'3 oJ '-C 1f3.'7 200 }-XACp.ANT ~~ C-O~ 0 c'c9 t<:9 \8'.34 ,Jo . !30 1'7, '100 b \'20 {<..- \ u o II Co< <C o ".33 .

Date I October 19. 1981 ~~f~ / s~gnature of Ap i t ~'k If. INONq.. Arrl't'f'/ltNr "'leG I'lIlhfPENT -2- . . . J. On a separate sheet, describe the following: 1. The environmental setting of the project site as it exists. The site is at the North East corner of Live Oak Avenue and Louise Avenue. The building is located in a landscaped area so that it is separated from the street and the parking area by landscaping on all four sides, The parking area has two interior islands of planting and perimeter planting strips as well as a 6 foot high concrete block wall separating it from adjacent residential and commercial properties on the North and East sides. Also landscaping separates the park- ing from Live Oak Avenue and Louise Avenue. In the original development, some of the existing trees were preserved and now are a part of the parking lot landscaping. 2. The proposed alterations to the project site. . The drive-up teller tubes will be located on the south side of the double row of parking and the 9 spaces on the west, (towards the building) will be assigned to all day employee cars. In this manner the westerly aisle adjacent to the building will become one-way southbound and used only by drive-up teller tube traffic. Customers entering from Live Oak Avenue or Louise Avenue will be able to decide whether to join the drive-up line or park, depending upon the length of the line. The line will accomodate a minimum of six cars before there is any interference with traffic headed for parking spaces. We believe that no customers will join a line this long, but will prefer to park and walk into the building instead, It follows that there will be no inter- ference with street traffic because of the drive-up lane. In addition, should any driver present a transaction which would delay the line, the teller will direct this customer to turn left and park, coming inside to complete the trans- action, It should be noted that in the plan presented, the driveways, the landscaping and the stall striping is as existing. There will be: no alteration to driveways, no reduction in landscaped area and no loss of existing parking spaces. In fact, the 6 cars in the drive-up lane are a net gain in parking, The total floor area, according to the building permit,is 7,880 square feet, By the present requirement of 6 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet for a Financial Institution, this works out to 47 or 48 spaces being required. In fact, 49 spaces are provided and the drive-up lane will handle six more. . See attached graph of typical week space occupancy. There are 14 ~mployee cars on the site at all times and yet the highest occupancy lS 39 spaces on Thursday, 4:00-4:40 PM, leaving 10 spaces still unoccupied. . . . . . > J.
