ARCADIA CITY PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT DONNA 1. BUTLER, SENIOR PLANNER CASE NO,: c.u.p, 88-026 SUMMARY The Sierra Madres Girl Scout Council has requested a conditional use permit to expand the uses of their existing Girl Scout meeting house located at 590 South Third Avenue, GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: . LOCATION: REQUEST: LOT AREA: FRONTAGE: Sierra Madres Girl Scout Council 590 South Third A venue Conditional use permit to expand the use of the Girl Scout meeting house to include: Court of Awards, cookouts, parties, vacation day camps (summer camp), overnight campouts (indoors), community service projects and council-wide planning meetings, Girl Scout Adults will use the property for training courses, planning meetings and community service projects, 18,176 square feet 80' on Third Avenue EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is developed with the Girl Scout Meeting House; zoned R-2 SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North: . Developed with multiple-family dwellings; zoned R-2 c.u.p, 88-026 November 8, 1988 Page 1 . . . South: East: West: Developed with multiple-family dwellings; zoned R-2 Developed with mixed residential uses; zoned R-2 Developed with mixed residential uses; zoned R-2 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Multiple-family residential (7+ du/ac) HISTORY A variance was granted by the City Council on September 7, 1954 for a Girl Scout Meeting House on the subject site, utilizing the existing house. In 1958, the City Council granted a variance to construct a new Girl Scout Meeting House and in November, 1961, the City Council approved another variance to erect a covered patio on the site, A condition of this variance was that it "be granted for a 10-year period and at the end of the 10 year period this activity be relocated to a location where it will be more compatible with the surrounding properties, This application expired in 1971. In August, 1976 the City approved Conditional Use Permit 76-16 to allow the continuance of the Girl Scout activities and that the use of the site be . restricted to Girl Scout activities only, In July, 1988, the City received a complaint regarding the use of the property for day care activities and the fact that the site was in need of property maintenance, Upon investigation the City learned that they were conducting "Girl Scout Day Camp" supervising children during vacation breaks while the parents worked, We advised the Girl Scout Council that this was not a permitted use and would have to be discontinued. If they wished to expand their activities they would have to apply for a new c.u.P.. PROPOSAL The Sierra Madres Girl Scout Council is requesting to use the site for meetings of Girl Scout Troops for for special activities such as Court of Awards, cookouts, parties, vacation day camps and overnight campouts, Girl Scout troops will use the building for community service projects and Council-wide planning meetings. Girl Scout Adults will use the property for training courses, planning meetings and community service projects, . C.U.P.88-026 November 8, 1988 Page 2 . . . The vacation day camp operates during the summer and spring vacations. The hours of operation are from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. There is an attendance of approximately 30 children ranging in age from 5 to 12 years of age, Evening activities are usually terminated by 9:00 -10:00 p,m, The house has 1,920 sq, ft. and contains two meeting rooms, a kitchen, two lavatories and two storage areas. There is a 982 sq. ft. garage at the rear of the property and a 792 sq, ft. covered patio behind the house, The garage is used for storage purposes. The existing garage needs to be repainted, However, Jane St. George, the Assistant Executive Director of the Sierra Madres Girl Scout Council has indicated in a letter that they have received a "Grant Proposal to the Santa Anita Foundation" for $35,000 to remove and rebuild a new garage, The proposed new garage will be the same size and located in the same place as the existing garage, . Parking is located along the southerly side of the driveway and at the rear of the property. There is on-site parking for 9 cars. The driveway is located located on the north side of the property, The planting area on the north side of the driveway is poorly maintained and needs to be cleaned up, A boat is stored on an unpaved area south of the garage and two trailers are stored on unpaved area north of the garage, ANALYSIS Although the types of activities conducted on the premises are much more intensive than would normally be found in a residential neighborhood, staff does not have a problem in allowing the continuation of the use for Girl Scout activities as originally outlined in C.U,P, 76-16, However, we are concerned with the vacation day camp activity. It is staff's opinion that this type of activity is not something which would normally be associated with Girl Scout activities; is not compatible with a residential neighborhood; and generates more traffic in the area, The complaint we received in July regarding the operation of the "vacation da.y camp" specifically addressed the noise created by the children, Also, the expansion to allow the vacation school creates more traffic to the site as pa.rents drop-off and pick up their children. . c.u.p, 88-026 November 8, 1988 Page 3 . . . Attached is a letter from Mrs, Francis Fletcher in opposition to the conditional use permit. 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. RECOMMENDA nON The Planning Department recommends denial of CU.P. 88-026 to expand the activities at the Girl Scout meeting house, However, if the Planning Commission determines that this expansion in activities would be appropriate, the Planning Department would recommend the following conditions of approval: . 1. That all planting areas including the planter strip along the north property line shall be cleaned up and maintained in a neat and orderly manner. 2, That the Fire Department shall inspect the premises to determine if fire safety is adequate for the activities being conducted on the premises, including "vacation day camp". The Girl Scout Council shall submit a copy 3. That plans for the new garage shall be submitted to the Planning Department for its review and approval, 4. That the area north and south of the garage shall be paved for the parking of the boat and trailers, 5, That evening activities shall be terminated at 10:00 p,m. 4. That Cu.P, 88-026 shall not take effect until the owner and applicant have executed a form available at the Planning Department indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. . Cu.P. 88-026 November 8, 1988 Page 4 . . . 5, Noncompliance with the provisions and conditions of this Conditional Use permit shall constitute grounds for the immediate suspension or revocation of said Permit. 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. . ..
