BUD LORTZ ASSISTANT PLANNER GENERAL INFORMATION ApPLICANT: LOCATION: William L. and Mee H. Wong 16 3/4 E. Huntington Drive REQUEST: To expand an existing restaurant LOT AREA: 7,300 square feet FRONTAGE: 50 feet on Huntington Drive GENERAL PLAN: Commercial ZONING: C-l D H SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: C-2 H; commercial uses C-l D H; commercial uses North: East & West: South: R-3 P H; multiple-family dwellings (See land use and zoning map.) PROPOSAL . The applicant proposes to combine the existing restaurant and existing cocktail lounge in order to expand the restaurant use. The expansion would be accomplised by constructing two doorways which would conbine the two facilities. The applicants have C .U . P. 7 S - 7 2 . indicated that the seating capacity will remain the same as presently exists in the two facilities (approximately SO to 100 patrons). MISCELLANEOUS 'INFORMATION Parking: Requi red: Existing: 50 spaces S spaces Ingress and egress to the parking spaces is from the alley. Landscaping: None Trash Enclosure and Loading Space: None Mechanical Equipment: Roof-moanted equipment is not screened and can be seen from the rear of the easterly adjoining properties. BUSINESS INFORMATION . Proposed Hours of Operation: 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. Employees: The applicant has stated that three employees would be necessary to operate the proposed facility. Presently, both operations require a total of five employees, according to business license records. ANAlYSIS A restaurant is a permitted use in a C-l zone with an approved conditional use permit. During recent public hearings regarding a proposed restaurant at ,14 East Huntington Drive, public testimony indicated that the existing cocktail lounge at 16 East Huntington Drive (Clown Town) has created parking problems and has caused "closing hour" disturbances for the residents south of the subject properties. Denial of,this conditional use permit may result in the applicants' continued operation of the existing cocktai'l lounge and restaurant as separate facilities, thus prolonging the proble~ associated with the existing uses. The proposed hours of operation could mitigate the late night closing hour disturbances associated with the existing cocktail use. . 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 dis- C.U.P. 78-7 3 . close 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 signifi- cance. 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." RE COMMENDATION It is Planning staff's oplnlon that denial of the conditional use permit would force the continuation of the existing facilities and their associated problems. .Therefore, the Planning Depart- ment recommends approval of C.U.P. 78-7, subjectto the follow- ing conditions: ~ 1. That landscape plans for all unused portions of the parking area be submitted to and approved by the Planning Department. 2. That all employers and employees be encouraged to park in the public parking district area. 3. That a trash enclosure be provided in a location approved by the Planning Department. 4. That the hours of operation be restricted to 11:30 a.m. through 10:00 p.m. daily. 5. That no loading activities take place during operating hours. 6. That a modification be granted for 5 parking spaces in lieu of 50 required. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Redevelopment Agency staff has reviewed the proposed project and suggested the following conditions: 1. That plans for improvement of the exterior design be sub- . mitted to and approved by the Planning Department. 2. That payment be made into an "in-lieu" parking fund in an amount determined by the Director of Planning. . If the aforementioned recommendations are determined to be appropriate, the Planning Commission should include these recommendations as conditions of approval for this conditional use permit. C.U.P. 78-7 4 ~ In addition, if said conditions are imposed, the Planning Department recommends that a design theme for the area be recommended for adoption by the City Council and Arcadia Redevelopment Ag~ncy in order ~o provide City staff with at least some broad guidelines in the review of plans. If the concept of Condition 2 of the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency staff is determined to be appropriate, the Planning Department recommends that Condition 6 be revised to read as follows: 6. That a modification be granted for 5 parking spaces in lieu of 50 required, providing that a parking fund "in-lieu" payment be made to the City in the amount of $13,754.28. This fee is approximately one fourth of the actual cost of the land area necessary to provide for the parking space deficiency. This amount having been determined by the following: Code required parking 50 spaces ~ Less the number of on-site spaces which could be provided in compliance with City code Resultant parking space deficiency - 5 spaces 45 spaces The formula used then being: deficiency x number of square feet required per space x assessed land value per square foot = in-lieu fee. (45 x 350)$0.873 = $13,754.28. BNL/at Attachments . . J ~ . 1r~ID ~ ~ CD o ..
