APPLICANT: ADDRESS: PROPOSAL: EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING: AREA: FRONTAGE: SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: Volunteer Quality Foods, Inc. 9974 Las Tunas Drive A conditional use permit to construct a Wendy's drive-thru eating establishment The subject site contains two lots, one with a vacated market and the other with a vacated service station, and is zoned C-2 and R-3 P (southerly 100 feet). The subject property contains a total area of 98,528 square feet. The two lots contain approximately 369 feet of frontage on Las Tunas Drive and approximately 223 feet of frontage on Baldwin Avenue. North: South: Service station and church; zoned C-2 Apartment buildings and residences; zoned R-3 and R-l* Pic 'N Sav; zoned'C-2 D Commercial uses; zoned C-2* in Temple City East: West: *Located . GENERAL PLAN: Area is designated Commercial J . C.U.P. 78-16 2 SPECIAL INFORMATION On December 13, 1977, a Pizza Hut restaurant was approved south of the proposed location for the Wendy's drive-thru. This application has expired and the property owner has advised staff that a new application will not be filed. The existing service station will be removed. The property owner has stated that the vacant market which contains 19,200 square feet will be used for a retail business. Proposed Wendy's Drive-Thru Size: 2,400 square feet with seating for 78 persons, Exterior Design: Brick veneer with resawn trim and facia. The restaurant will be located at the northeast corner of the subject property, approximately 20 feet from the Baldwin Avenue property line and approximately 45 to 69 feet from the Las Tunas property line. The site presently consists of two lots which the applicant is proposing to consolidate (L-78-26). . A trash enclosure is proposed for the eating establishment, south of the building. Presently, there is a trash/storage area located south of the market, which does not comply with Code. This trash area should be removed and a new trash enclosure, which complies with Code, should be provided for the vacant market. Parking and Landscaping One hundred and seventy (170) 9-feet by 20-feet parking spaces are proposed on the site; 144 parking spaces are required, 48 for the eating establishment and 96 for the existing building (based on five parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area) . The drive-thru lane is located north, south and east of the eating establishment, This lane will stack five cars and circulate traffic through the drive-thru without interfering with the traffic circulation on the site. Ingress and egress to the parking lot will be from five driveways: two located on Baldwin Avenue, two on Rowland Avenue and one on Las Tunas Drive. . A five-foot wide landscape planter is proposed along the perimeter of the property as well as a wall to screen parking from the streets and residential properties to the south. There is an existing wall located along the southerly property line, This wall is damaged and in need of major repairs. ~ . C.U.P. 78-16 3 The Public Works Department is requiring a 25-foot radius corner cut-off at Baldwin Avenue and Las Tunas Drive. This requirement will reduce the landscape planter in this location and may require relocation of the building a few feet to the west in order to accommodate the drive-thru lane and required landscaping. Approximately 2,300 square feet of landscaping is required in the parking area; plans show approximately 750 square feet. Signing There is an existing free-standing sign advertising dairy products which should be removed, The applicant has not submitted sign plans; however, all signs must comply with Code. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION The applicant has noted that the hours of operation will be Sunday through Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. There will be approximately 12 to 16 employees during peak hours. . Las Tunas and Baldwin Avenue are both major arterials. The most current traffic counts show that Baldwin Avenue south of Las Tunas carries approximately 18,301 cars per day (north and southbound). On Las Tunas Drive, east of Baldwin Avenue, there is approximately 16,820 cars per day (east and westbound on a race day). There are existing light standards in the parking lot. These standards exceed the 15 feet allowed by Code. ANALYSIS A drive-thru eating establishment is a permitted use in a C-2 zone with an approved conditional use permit. The site is appropriate for this type of business and the circulation and parking are adequate to accommodate both uses. The drive-thru will be located a minimum of 120 feet away from the residential properties to the south, and should have an insignificant impact on dwellidgs located in this area. Staff believes that all landscaping, parking and wall requirements should meet Code requirements, . 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 substantial 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. , . . . ~ C.U,P. 78-16 4 Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project, Before the Planning Commission takes action on this project, the Commission should "move to approve and file the Negative Declara- tion and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment," RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends approval of C.U.P. 78-16 subject to the following conditions: 1, Conditions as outlined in the attached report from the Department of Public Works shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. 2. C,U.P. 78-16 shall not take effect until the owner and applicant have executed a form available at the Planning Department indicating acceptance of the conditions of approval. 3. That all parking, landscaping, buffers and walls shall comply with Code. 4, All signing shall comply with Code, 5. That a lot consolidation shall be approved and filed with the County Recorder's Office prior to issuance of the occupancy permit for Wendy's eating establishment. 6. That a new trash enclosure be provided for the existing building and that the existing trash/storage area be removed. 7, All lighting shall comply with Code.
