Christian Center of Arcadia; zoned C-l D Approximately 43,996 square feet Approximately 211 feet on Morlan Place North: South: East: West: Vacant; zoned C-l D Offices and parking; zoned C-l D Commercial; zoned C-l D Automobile storage; zoned C-2 D GENERAL PLAN: Commercial HISTORY . The subject site is developed with the Christian Center of Arcadia, Inc. This use was approved by the City Council on . C.U.P. 78-11 2 February 7, 1978 (Resolution 4720; C.U.P. 77-27). SPECIAL INFORMATION Building Size: The building contains approximately 18,884 square teet. ~aranatha School is proposing to use four classrooms com- prising approximately 2,850 square feet of the building. Maranatha High School is requesting the use of the four class- rooms to conduct Bible classes, English classes and mathematics classes. The classrooms will be in use from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. There would be a maximum of 22 students per classroom. The school would use their busses to transport students to and from the Christian Center. Parking and Access: C.U.P. 77-27 for the Christian Center granted a modIfication for the parking from 95 spaces to 63 spaces (including the properties at 121-159 North Santa Anita). Access to the site will be from Morlan Place and from Santa Clara Street (across the rear of the properties at 121-159 North Santa Anita). MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION . Rev. Cherry of the Christian Center has indicated that classes for Maranatha School will begin in mid-September. Maranatha is also request~ng the use of the church sanctuary for special school chapel services held approximately once a month, normally on Thursdays at 11:00 a.m. Attendance at these services will be approximately 350 students. Those students not attending class at the Christian Center will walk to the chapel service under the supervision of Maranatha staff. Presently Maranatha School is using the Santa Anita YMCA on Foothill Blvd. in Monrovia for two classrooms. Maranatha needs more space and because of the close proximity of the Christian Center to the school, the school is. requesting use of these classrooms to accommodate its students. The Christian Center has indicated that the only meeting which is held at the center during the week is a women's Bible class conducted on Tuesday mornings from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Attendance at this meeting is approximately 80 persons. This is held in a separate portion of the main building and will not interfere with classroom activities. ANALYSIS . A school is a permitted use in a C-l Zone with an approved conditional use permit. . C.U.P. 78-11 3 Staff believes that use of these classrooms by Maranatha High School is not inconsistent with the church use. The classes will not create a need for additional parking and would provide classrooms which are closer to the Maranatha campus. It is staff's opinion that approval of this conditional use permit would not be detrimental to the surrounding properties. 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. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been pre- pared 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. 78-11 subject to the following conditions: 1. That not more than four of the on-site parking spaces shall be utilized by students and teachers of Maranatha High School. 2. That all conditions of C.U.P. 77-27 (Resolution 4720, attached) be complied with prior to occupancy by the school. 3. That the Planning Commission shall within one year review this use for any possible parking problems. Should a problem be identified, the Commission shall reserve the right to review and revoke this conditional use permit.
