BUTLER ASSOCIATE PLANNER GENERAL INFORMATION TO: FROM: CASE NO.: PREPARED BY: APPLICANT: LOCATION: Berger-Socoloske 601 Sunset Boulevard -- located at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Michillinda Avenue Conditional use permit to construct and operate a 103 unit retirement hotel and a modification for 42 parking spaces (14 on-site and 28 off-site parking spaces) in lieu of 124 requi red. Approximately 50,000 sq. ft. (1.14 acres) REQUEST: SIZE: FRONTAGE: Approximately 219' on Sunset Boulevard Approximately 198' on Michillinda Avenue EXISTING LAND The subject site is developed with a vacant service station USE AND ZONING: and the vacant May Company TBA building; zoned C-2 SURROUNDING LAND NORTH: Developed with single-family dwellings; zoned USE & ZONING: R-l & 0 SOUTH: Developed with multiple-family dwellings; zoned R-3 EAST: Developed with single-family dwellings and multiple- family dwellings; zoned R-l & 0 and R-3 WEST: Developed with single-family dwellings; zoned R-l Cemmerci al GENERAL PLAN: SPECIAL INFORMATION Bun di ng Infonnation The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing service station and construct a 47,000 sq. ft. building. The existing 8,000 sq. ft. May Company TBA building will be converted into a dining room, lounge and kitchen. The total building area will be 55,000 sq. ft. CUP 84-12 July 10, 1984 Page 1 ~ There will be 103 units which average 325 sq. ft. in area. Five of the units are designed for the handicapped; all of the units will have hardware in the bathrooms designed to assist the elderly. The building will be three stories with an average height of 33 feet and a maximum height of 38' to the top of the dormers. The first floor will be comprised of 25 living units, offices, craft room, lounge, dining room and kitchen. The second and third floors will each have 39 living units, lounge and laundry rooms. There will be five exit passages; the main entrance/exit will be on Michi11inda Avenue and there will be one exit onto Sunset Boulevard, one exit into the parking area which fronts along Sunset Boulevard and two exits at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Michil1inda Avenue. One elevator is being provided in each wing of the building (two total). The building will have a 9' to 15' setback along Michi11inda Avenue and a 7' to 12' setback along Sunset Boulevard. There will be a 4900+ sq. ft. landscaped interior courtyard which will have a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. PARKING AND LANDSCAPING . Parking The applicant is proposing a total of 42 parking spaces; 14 of these spaces will be on-site parking spaces (including one handicapped space) and 28 spaces will be located off-site on the upper level of the May Company parki ng deck. Four of the on-site parking spaces (including the handicapped space) will be located along Michillinda Avenue and ten spaces will be located along Sunset Boulevard. The plans do not show a separate drop-off area. Based upon the code requirements for a hotel, 124 parking spaces are required (1.2 parking spaces per guest room). This parking requirement is excessive for a "retirement" facility. The Arcadia Retirement Hotel on Duarte Road has a parking ratio of one space for each 2.5 rooms and the Arcadia Gardens Retirement Hotel on Camino Real has a parking ratio of one space for each 1.84 rooms. The on-site parking ratio for this complex would be one space for each 7.35 guest rooms. . The applicant has indicated that they will be leasing 28 parking spaces located at the northeast corner of the upper deck of the May Company parking structure. These spaces are located a minimum of 520 feet from the subject site. The applicant in his letter dated June 25th has indicated that these spaces will be used for all staff parking and, if needed resident parking. It is noted that they will have a limousine service (which will utilize one of the on-site parking spaces) and that it will be used to transport CUP 84-12 July 10, 1984 Page 2 . /~, residents to shopping, medical and grooming locations and will .also, if necessary, be used to transport residents to and from the parklng spaces in the May Company parking structure. Landscaping The perimeter of the property adjacent to Sunset Boulevard and Michillinda Avenue will be landscaped as well as a portion of the interior courtyard area. ~ MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION The applicant has indicated there will be approximately 13 to 22 employees and that the minimum age for,a resident will be 55 years. No trash enclosure is shown on the site. The following is a summary of the two existing retirement facilities located within the City of Arcadia and the proposed facility: Arcadia Retirement Hotel (Duarte Road) Lot Si ze: Rooms: Parki ng: Parking Density: Unit Density: . 27,648 sq. ft. 60 24 on-site parking spaces 1 parking space for each 2.5 rooms 1 room per 547.45 square feet Arcadia Gardens Retirement Hotel (Camino Real) Lot Size: Rooms: Parki ng: Parking Density: Unit Density: Proposed Project Lot Size: Rooms: Parking: Parking Density: Unit Density: 87,327 sq. ft. 105 57 on-site parking spaces 1 parking space for each 1.84 rooms 1 room per 831.68 square feet 50,000+ sq. ft. 103 - 14 on-site, 28 off-site (42 total) On-site ratio = 1 parking space for each 7.35 rooms Total ratio = 1 parking space for each 2.45 rooms 1 room per 485.43 square feet The subject site is located in the Alquist Priolo Specials Study Zone. A geologic study was conducted on the subject site and after reviewing this study the City's geologist concludes that "based on the geotechnical report and review of the trench logs, we recommend that the subject report be approved from a fault rupture standpoint". , ANAL YSIS . A retirement hotel is a permitted use in the C-2 zone with an approved condit i ona 1 use pe rmit. CUP 84-12 July lO,! 1984 ~ age 3 e The C-2 zone would allow a three story, 40 foot high commercial building to be constructed adjacent to the Sunset Boulevard and Michillinda Avenue property lines. The noise and traffic generated by a retirement hotel is minimal and it is staff's opinion that this use is less intensive than most other commercial uses which would be permitted in the C-2 zone. Staff's major concern with this proposal is the lack of on-site parking. Although this type of facility has a minimum amount of residents that drive, based on the other facilities within the City, approximately 16~ of their residents have automobiles. Also, there will be 13 to 22 employees during the peak hours. Based upon these requirements which do not take into . consideration visitors to the site, staff does not feel that there 1S adequate on-site parking and that the off-site parking located at the May Company is not within convenient walking distance to the property. Section 9269.6 of the Arcadia Municipal Code states that "parking shall be located on the same lot or site or on a lot or site contiguous thereto or within 495' of the building". As previously noted, the parking at the May Company is a minimum distance of 520' from the subject site. Staff is concerned that the distance from the site will discourage employees and/or residents from parking in this area and that they will park on nearby streets; i.e., California which has available on-street parking and has a stop light which enables easy access to the site and/or Balboa which is immediately across Sunset Boulevard where there is an existing sidewalk. It is staff's opinion that 42 parking spaces are adequate for this proposed retirement hotel, however, all the parking spaces should be located on-site. AttaChed for the Commission's review are the June 25th letter from Land- Development-Management clarifying the parking requirements for the facility and including a survey of seven similar facilities, and a survey conducted by the City staff of similar facilities including the two located in the city and three in adjacent cities. - 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 prepared for this project. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the insufficient amount of on-site parking, the Planning Department recommends denial of C.U.P. 84-12. - If the Planning Commission determines that this is an appropriate use and moves to approve this conditional use permit, the Planning Department would recommend the following conditions of approval: 1. That the 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. CUP 84-12 July 10~ 1984 ~age 4 . 2. - 3. 4. 5. That fire safety shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Fire Chief. That a trash enclosure shall be provided as per Section 9263.6.6 of the Arcadia Municipal Code. That a modification shall be granted for 42 parking spaces in lieu of 124 parking spaces required. That a covenant in a form and content to be approved by the City Attorney shall be filed guaranteeing that the 28 off-site parking spaces will be maintained for the use of the retirement hotel as long as said building or land use is maintained. 6. That the minimum age for residency in this facility shall be 55 years and that a covenant in a form and content to be approved by the City Attorney shall be filed guaranteeing that the minimum age of residents shall be 55 years. 7. That C.U.P. 84-12 shall not take effect until owner and applicant have executed a form available at the Planning Department indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. FINDINGS AND MOTIONS Approval If the Planning Commission intends to take action to approve this project, the Commission should move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution incorporating the specific findings and conditions of approval set forth in the staff report (or as modified by the Commission). Denial . If the Planning Commission intends to take action to deny this project, the Commission should move to deny and direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution incorporating the Commission's decision and findings in support of that decision. . CUP 84-12 July 10~ 1984 rage 5 - - . June 12, 1984 TO: PLANNING DEPARTMENT FROM: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 84-12 730 MICHILLINDA AVENUE This department's review of the subject CUP resulted in the following requirements: 1. Close existing driveways not to be used and construct new P.C.C. driveway aprons that conform to City Standard Drawing S-ll. 2. Submit a grading and drainage plan prepared by a registered civil engineer. 3. Arrange for utility service and dedicate easements to utility companies. 4. Verify the location of the 6-inch sanitary sewer connection to the main in Sunset Boulevard to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works or install a 6-inch lateral to the main according to City of Arcadia Standards. The subject property is served by the Los Angeles County Sanitat ion District. Therefore, a CSD and a City permit will be required. 5. The parkway widths at the site are eight (8) feet and twelve (12) feet on Michillinda Avenue and Sunset Boulevard, respectively. At present, street trees and plants are adequate. Th i s department will reserve further comment on the landscaping until more definitive plans have been prepared and submitted. Future plants, such as those planned at points of ingress and egress, could create site restrictions. ~ J( -k1tr/ CHESTER N.

June 25,1984 Ms. Donna Butler Associate Planner City of Arcadia 240 W. Huntington Dr. Arcadia, Ca. 91006 Subject: Regency Retirement Hotel Michi11inda and Sunset Arcadia, Calif. .~\ ; Dear Donna, As per your request, we wish to clarify the resident parking requirements for the above hotel. tt . The proposed hotel will have on-site 14 parking spaces foi~residents, or guests, plus one handicap parking spa~e, plus one loading space. One of the 14 spaces will be used for the hotel 1imosine that will be used to transport residents to shopping, medical, and groom- ing locations. It will also, if necessary, transport the residents to and from the parking spaces in the May Co. parking structure (see attached drawing>. These spaces, 28 additional, will be used for all staff park- ing and resident parking. We presently have a lease agreement with May Co. for these 28 spaces and should the requirement for additional spaces be needed, we can lease more spaces, at a considerable additional cost. Based~n all of our research, we feel that these 28, plus ~, spaces are more than will be needed. Pleale \eview the attached seven similar facilities to see ehelneed and usages of the parking spaces. 1:1 l,d Thank.~ou for all your help concerning this matter. Liri~~!~ Walter T.

C.U.P. 84-12 lA, Band G. The subject site is located in the Alquist Priolo Special Studies zone and is subject to said regulations. A geologic study which was prepared for the applicant indicates that the subject site has ex- perienced several periods of movement during the past few thousand years. The applicant is proposing structural designs to accommodate said findings. 7. Light and Glare. The proposal may result in new light and glare. However, this light and glare should not be significant as to impact the adjoining properties. 8. Land Use. This proposal will result in a significant change in the land use from retail to high density residential. However, a hotel is a permitted use in the C-2 zone with an approved Conditional Use Permit. 6. Noise. result is not Although there may be an increase in existing noise levels as a of this proposal, because of the nature of this development, it anticipated that the noise level will be significant. . 13. Effects on existing parking facilities or demand for new parking? 15 on-site parking spaces are proposed. The applicant is proposing to utilize the parking at the May Company to off-set needed on-site parking. It is the applicant's contention that th~s type of use has limited parking needs because of the age of the persons living on the site. 14. Fire Protection. Because of the age of the persons occupying the pre- mises there may be a greater need for paramedic services to the site. This will not, however, result in a need for an increase in the Fire Department personnel. . . File No. tC/~p:' /!?4rl2. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION FORM A.

Once completed, however, the Senior Citizen Hotel will not generate a lot of noise and by the nature of the project, traffic will be minimal. This proposed use will be less intensive than the gas station and tire/hattery shoo that previously existed on the site. 5. Once again, an increase in energy consumotion is to be expected during the construction period. Once complete, there will be adequate sewer facilities and electricity to serve the site.
