October 26, 1976 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: C.U.P. 76-24 166 BONITA STREET APPLICATION This application was filed on October 6, 1976 by the American National Red Cross and requests a conditional use permit to continue operation of its facility at 166 Bonita Street (the southwest corner of Bonita and Second). LAND USE AND ZONING The subject site is zoned R-3 and developed with the Red Cross offices. Properties to the north, south, east and west are zoned R-3 and developed with mixed residential uses. (See the attached Land Use and Zoning Map.) HISTORY The existing house was built in 1952. In June, 1964, the American Red Cross filed an application for a zone variance (V-64-11) which was approved by the City Council on August 18, 1964. A condition of this variance was that "the period of the variance be limited to five years and that such use shall thereupon cease...unless prior to such time the property be reclassified to a zone permitting such use or the variance be duly extended." This application expired on August 18, 1969. In April of 1976, the Planning Department notified the Red Cross that their variance had expired and they would have to have an approved conditional use permit to continue the use of the facilities at this location. . . C.U.P 76-24 2 . PROPOSAL fu~D ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting to continue operation of the American Red Cross in their existing offices on Bonita Street. The subject site contains 15,200 square feet. It has 95 feet of frontage on Bonita Street and 160 feet of frontage on Second Avenue. The site contains a 1,792 square foot house and a 491 square foot garage. The garage is used mainly for storage. Parking for 13 cars is located south of the building. Code requires 8 spaces. These parking spaces are not clearly marked, and the lot should be cleaned of all weeds. The two trees located in the lot should be trimmed so that they don't interfere with vehicular circulation. Entrance to the parking area is from Second Avenue and the alley. There is one full-time employee. The Red Cross uses this site as headquarters for its Arcadia Branch. This building contains offices, sewing rooms, meeting room and storage rooms. The Planning Department does not believe the continued use of this site for Red Cross offices would be detrimental to the area or inconsistent with the General Plan. 4It. Pursuant to the provision of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department reviewed the proposed conditional use permit and determined that the proposal would not have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration has been prepared and filed for this project. The Planning Commission in its approval or denial of the proposed conditional use permit must make the determination that the proposed project would or would not have a substantial adverse impact on the environment. RECOMMENDATI ON The Planning Department recommends approval of C.U.P. 76-24 subject to the following conditions: I. That the parking area be cleared of all weeds and the trees trimmed so that they do not obstruct vehicular circulation. 2. That the parking area be restriped as per Section 9261.3.8 of the Arcadia Municipal Code. 4It. DEPARTMENT ,~ ONNA L. BUTLER ASSISTANT PLANNER DLB/at Attachments 50 (I'IZ) (i) : 1.
