Earll, Jr. 205-221 East Duarte Road Conditional use permit to allow two existing single-family residences in a C-l zone. The applicant proposes to expand the existing real ty office. C-l and R-2 P C.U.P. 78-2 2 ~ PROPOSAL The applicant has indicated (telephone conversation) that the aforementioned office expansion is the first phase of a two- phase proj ect. The second phase would take place within seven years, and wpuld consist of the removal of the single-family residences, construction of a two-story addition to the office building and completion of the parking area. PLAN REVIEW The submitted plans have the following deficiencies: 1. Parking spaces 1, 8 and 18 are only deficient if a 35-inch high wall is proposed between said parking spaces and the landscaped buffer adjacent to Second Avenue. (AMC 9269.13A and 9269.7A) 2. Code requires wheel stops for parking spaces 20-24 and 8-13. (AMC 9269.9A) ~ 3. Parking spaces 1-7 and 14-18 are required to have a 5-foot 3-inch landscaped buffer and wheel stops or an 8-foot 6-inch landscaped buffer which would allow for automobile overhang. (AMC 9269.13A) 4. Any mechanical equipment located on top of the roof must be screened from public view. (AMC 9263.6.6) 5. A trash enclosure is required. (AMC 9262.6.8) 6. "Hairpin" type striping is required for all parking spaces. (AMC 9269. 8A) 7. One tree is required for every 10 parking spaces. (AMC 9269.13A) 8. Parking space 24 does not have the required 25-foot backup distance and parking space 19 is not permitted. (AMC 9269.7A) 9. Code requires 24 parking spaces for the existing and proposed offices. (AMC 9269.5) 10. The rental and residence are required to have two covered parking spaces each. (AMC 9251.2.12 and 9253.2.9) . A discrepency exists between the submitted plans and the Tentative Parcel Map. The plans indicate 68.80 feet (surveyor's measurement) while the Tentative Parcel Map indicates 70.25 . C.U.P. 78-2 3 feet (City records) in width for the property fronting on Second Avenue. A parking layout with 90 degree parking and the required 5-foot 3-inch landscaped buffer would necessitate a total width of 70 feet in order to meet Code. The applicant has stated that the aforementioned deficiencies will be reconciled to meet the requirements of the Arcadia Municipal Code, with the exception of the following modifications: 1. AMC 9269.7A and 9269.13A -- Request to allow automobiles to encroach 1 foot 2 inches into a required 5-foot 3-inch landscaped buffer. 2. AMC 9253.2.9 -- Request to allow one covered parking space in lieu of four covered parking spaces required. ANALYSIS Residences are allowed in a commercial zone with an approved conditional use permit. . In staff's opinion, the proposal would be an appropriate improvement of the subject property and would eventually eliminate the existing legal nonconforming residences. The development would enhance the area and could stimulate improve- ments on other properties along Duarte Road and Second Avenue. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quali ty Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not dis- 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." RECOMMENDATION . The Planning Department recommends approval of C.U.P. 78-2 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. . C.U.P. 78-2 4 2. That the Final Parcel Map be approved and recorded or, a covenant approved by the City Attorney as to form and content shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder guaranteeing that the lots located at 205-221 East Duarte Road and 810 South Second Avenue shall be maintained as one. 3. That the existing legal nonconforming uses be terminated or otherwise be brought into compliance within seven (7) years (February 28, 1985). 4.
