Section 1. That the factual data submitted by the Planning Department in the
attached report is true and correct.
Section 2. This Commission finds:
1. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit can be detrimental to

zone or vicinity if allowed to continue in the future.
2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is a proper use for
which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized.

BACKGROUND
In October, 1975, conditional use permit 75-16 was granted allowing a pre-
school at 141 West Las Tunas Drive. In May, 1983, conditional use permit
83-9 was approved granting the expansion of the preschool to allow 48
children per session. These conditional use permits were granted to Victoria
Zahody.
In June/July, 1983, Mrs. Zahody sold the preschool to the current owner,
Holly Oaks Christian School.
In September, 1983, the operator of Holly Oaks Christian School requested a
conditional use permit (CUP 83-16) to conduct church services at this site in
addition to the operation of the pre-school. This conditional use permit was
. denied by the Planning Commission and the City Council.
In June, 1988 it came to the City's attention that Holly Oaks Christian School
had expanded and was operating a kindergarten through 6th grade school as
well as a preschool on the above premises. We notified the school that the
original conditional use permits for the property were for a preschool only
and that a new conditional use permit would be required to operate the
kindergarten through 6th grade classes.
In response to our letter, John Gottuso, Administrator of Holly Oaks
Christian School sent us a letter stating that their "public profile had been
known since Day-one" and that it was "common knowledge" that they were
operating K through sixth grade school.
In a third letter dated June 16, 1988, we advised Dr. Gottuso that although he
may have assumed it was "common knowledge" that they were operating a K
through sixth grade school, the Planning Department was not aware of the
expansion and a conditional use permit would be required to continue
operation of a K through sixth grade school.
This application has been filed as a result of this action.

PROPOSAL
The applicants are requesting a conditional use permit to expand the existing
preschool to allow kindergarten through eighth grade classes and to increase
the number of students from 48 to 58. The school is currently conducting a
preschool and kindergarten through sixth grade classes.
The building contains approximately 2,100+ sq. ft., not including the garage
which contains approximately 250 sq. ft.. According to a 8 1/2" x 11 "plan
(Exhibit B) the Fire Department received from the school, there are six
classrooms in the main building and a seventh classroom in the garage. The
Fire Inspector during his investigation noted that the garage has been
panelled and is currently being utilized for classroom purposes. The original
conditional use permit for the preschool approved use of the main building
only for classroom purposes. The garage was to be utilized as a storage room.
No permits have been issued for the conversion of the garage into a habitable
area.
There is adequate building area to accommodate 58 children without the use
of the garage. If the garage was legally converted into a habitable room, a
maximum of seven students would be allowed based upon Fire Department
. occupancy standards.
The applicant has submitted the attached information (Exhibit A) regarding
the number of students and the basic class pattern. It appears that there is a
rotating schedule in the morning and afternoon with 48 students per session.
There is 4,300 sq. ft. of outdoor play area.
In response to a question regarding the number of employees/teachers on
staff, the school indicated it depends on the number of children but that there
would be a maximum of eight teachers/employees at anyone time.
There are four marked parking spaces located along the easterly property line.
SPECIAL INFORMA nON
Staff contacted the State of California K-12 Nonpublic Schools Unit in
Sacramento and they advised that there are no regulations for operating a
private school with the exception that all private schools are required to apply
for a "Private School Affidavit". This affidavit is kept on me with the State,
county and the local public school district as well as a copy is to be kept on file
.
C.U.P.88-018
July 12, 1988
Page 3
.
at the school. The affidavit is renewed yearly. Said affidavit requires
approval of the local health inspector and fire department.
According to the State, a private school is technically operating illegally
without said affidavit. It is a violation of the compulsory attendance
regulation; if an affidavit is not on file with the State, the children are not
legally exempt from public school attendance. Also, without an affidavit on
file a private school is unable to obtain children's records from other schools
and when a child transfers from that school to another school there could be
problems if the school is not on file as having an affidavit.
In checking with the State, L. A. County and the Arcadia School District, their
records do not indicate that there has ever been a "Private School Affidavit"
filed by Holly Oaks Christian School.
ANALYSIS
.
A school is a permitted use in a C-O zone with an approved conditional use
permit.
Staff has the concerns regarding expansion of the operation to allow
kindergarten through 8th grade classes on the site
According to the Chief Building Official, in order to utilize the garage for
classrooms, the building must be legally converted into a habitable area which
involves insulating both the walls and ceiling, and providing proper light
and ventilation to meet the building code requirements. A permit must be
obtained for any remodeling done in the building. The Fire Department
advised that the garage has been panelled, however, it did not appear that
there were any other major improvements made to the structure.
Staff is concerned that the outdoor play area, although adequate for
preschoolers is not suffident for preschoolers as well as kindergarten through
eighth grade students. In contacting the State regarding California State
Building Codes for schools, their standards require that a substantial portion
of a school site be set aside for playground/PE areas; e.g., a two acre parcel
would have 3/1Oth of an acre set aside for buildings, 3/l0th of an acre set aside
for parking and the remaining 1.4 acres for PE and playground area
(approximately 70% of the site). In discussing this matter the State indicated
it is their feeling that it is crudal to have adequate outdoor play area for
children. Although these regulations do not apply to a private school, staff
does not feel that 4,300 sq. ft. is adequate play area for kindergarten through
8th grade students.
.
C.U.P.88-018
July 12, 1988

.
There are four marked parking spaces on the site. U they have the maximum
number of staff members on the premises at anyone time (eight) there is not
adequate parking for all the employees as well as any parents or visitors who
may come to the school.
Generally there is more noise associated with grade school children than
preschool children. This property abuts single-family residential property on
the north, and because the site is so small, the children are concentrated in
one play area.
For the reasons set forth above, staff feels the site is appropriate for a
preschool, however, it is our opinion that the site is too small to adequately
accommodate kindergarten through 8th grade students, and that such grades
in a confined area are not compatible with the adjacent residential uses.
Attached for the Commission's consideration are Exhibit A, Exhibit B, copies
of the June 6th letter to the applicant, Dr. Gottuso's letter dated June 13th, and
the June 16th letter to the applicant.
.
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 C.U.P. 88-018.
U the Commission determines that the expansion of the school is appropriate,
approval should be subject to the following conditions:
1. That prior to operation of the kindergarten through eighth grade
classes, the applicant shall obtain a "Private School Affidavit". A copy
of the approved affidavit shall be submitted to the Planning
Department.
2. That the garage shall not be utilized for classroom activity until said
structure is made into a legal habitable room as per the Building Code
.
C.U.P. 88-018

.
requirements and all the required permits are secured from the
Building Division.
3. That the number of students shall be limited to 58 per session.
4. That C.U.P. 88-018 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.
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.

SUBJECT: C.U,P.83-9
Dear Mr. Gottuso:
In regards to your letter dated June 13th, there are several statements in
your letter which are inaccurate. Your letter is incorrect in stating that
your "public profile has been known since Day-One". As you will note in
the attached staff report for C.U.P. 83-16 relating to the church we referred
to the school as a "pre-school".
The Fire Department inspects businesses for fire violations, not zoning
violations and unless they have sufficient knowledge about the conditional
use permit, they would not know if you were in violation of zoning
restrictions.
As a matter of information this came to our intention through inquiries by
persons who were interested in an application you had pending in another
jurisdiction. These persons were under the understanding that your
operation in Arcadia was for an approved K through sixth grade school as
well as a pre-school. It is very clear in the original conditional use permits
(C.U.P. 75.16 and C.U.P. 83-9) that the use is strictly for a "pre-school".
Although you may have assumed it was "common knowledge", our
department was not aware of the expansion which is not in conformance
with the previously approved conditional use permit, until it was brought to
our attention.
In order to make the K through 6th grade school a legal activity, a new
conditional use permit will be required. Until a new conditional use permit
is approved, continued operation of anything other than a pre-school on the
premises is a violation of the code and must be discontinued.
.

our department by June 27,1988 as to resolution of this matter.

HISTORY
The existing structure was built in 1946 (house and garage). In 1957 the
property was rezoned to C-O 1\ 0 and in 1965 changed to CoO. The house was
converted to an office use in 1971 and on October 14, 1975, the Planning
Commission approved C.U.P. 75-16 for a preschool on the subject site. In May
of 1983 the Planning Commission granted C.U.P. 83-9 increasing the enrollment
of the preschool to 48 children and extending the business hours to 7:00 a.m.
. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
PROPOSAL
~ Parkview Christian Church recently acquired the property and is at present
operating the preschool. They are requesting a conditional use permit to
expand the activities on the site to include a church and church-related
activities.
According to the appl icant, Or. Guttuso, pastor for the church, there will be
two church services on Sunday; one morning service at either 9:00 A.M. or
10:00 a.m. and one evening service from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. or 10:00 p.m,
They will also have Bible studies and prayer meetings Tuesday and Thursday
ni9hts or Wednesdays and Thursday nights from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Or. Gottuso has advised staff that the maximum congregation size
will be 50 persons.
.
They are also proposing to convert the existing garage/storage room on the
east side of the preschool into two offices which will be used during the day,
Parking
There are currently four marked parking spaces adjacent to the easterly
property line and two marked spaces adjacent to the landscape buffer along Las
Tunas Drive (a total of 6 spaces). The plans also indicate parking in the
paved play area behind the garage/office building. In order to get to this
area you have to cross over the four existing parking spaces and go through
the gate located between the garage and the easterly property line. Also,
this area is currently occupied with playground equipment which would have to
be moved.
The applicant has obtained permission from Joe Dana, operator of the Pet and
Jungle shop located at 124 Las Tunas Drive, to utilize the parking lot for
"their overflow parking needs both week nights and Sundays". Mr. Dana,
however, is not the property owner, but only the operator of Pet & Jungle.
Dr. Guttuso has also received a letter from Mario Tse, son of the property
owner of the MarketTowne property. It is noted in Mr. Tse's letter that the
general parking area to be used on his site is bordered on the east by the
Muffler Shop, the south by Live Oak Avenue and on the north by the flower shop
- this area fronts Live Oak Avenue (see attached aerial).
Code states that when required parking areas are located on a separate lot
from the main building or land use there "shall be recorded in the office of
the County Recorder a covenant in the form approved by the City Attorney that
such owner or owners will continue to maintain such parking space as long as
said building or land use is maintained.
Mi sce1l aneous Information
The Fire Department has reviewed the requested conditional use permit and has
advised staff that additional outside exits will be required fn the "Worship
Hall" and "Fellowship Hall". According to Jim Bateson, Fire Inspector, a
.
C.U.P. 83-16
9/13/83
Page 2
.
maximum occupancy of 180 persons would normally be allowed in a building of
this size (both rooms); however, he has advised staff that based on this type
of structure he would recommend a maximum of 50 persons.
ANALYSIS
Churches are a permittted use in all zones with an approved conditional use
permit. The City does not have any specific parking requirements for places
of assembly and churches.
.
One of staff's main concerns regarding the use of this site for a church is
the limited number of on-site parking spaces.
There are only six legal on-site parking spaces. The area indicated on the
plans as "parking area" located in the back yard area does not comply with any
of the City's parking requirements, i.e. stall size, turn-around, etc. In
addition access is not available without moving the four cars parked adjacent
to the east property line.
Although the applicant has submitted letters from Pet & Jungle and MarketTowne
for use of their lots and portions of the lots for parking, staff is concerned
with the distance of these parking areas to the subject property. Las Tunas
Drive is denoted as a "major arterial" on the General Plan and is a four-lane
roadway with an approximate 70' width of paved area. There is a crosswalk
located at MarketTowne, however, it is doubtful that persons parking at Pet
and Jungle would utilize said crosswalk (see attached aerial).
It is staff's opinion that there is not adequate on-site parking to
accommodate said use and that the location of the additional parking presented
by the applicant creates a potential safety problem for persons parking in
this area and having to cross a major arterial to go to the church with only
limited protection of a crosswalk.
Also, there is no assurance that these parking areas will always be available
to the ch urch.
Staff feels that the proposed church is too intensive a use for this site and
cannot recomemnd approval of this conditional use permit. The site as it
exists is not designed for church-type activities.
Attached is a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Zahody in favor of the requested
conditional use permft.
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.

RECOMMENOATION
.
Because of the inadequate parking and the intensity of the use, the Planning
Department recommends denial of C.U.P. B3-16. However, if the Planning
Commission determines that this is an appropriate use of the property, the
Planning Department would recommend the following conditions of approval:
1. That the maximum occupancy at anyone time shall not exceed 50 persons.
2. That the required exits shall be installed and that all Fire Safety
requirements shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Fire
Department.
3, That a covenant in a form and content approved by the City Attorney
shall be recorded noting that such owner or owners of the property at
120-126 Las Tunas Drive and 150 Las Tunas Drive will continue to
maintain their parking area for said use of the church as long as the
church is maintained.
4. That the church shall not operate until all conditions of approval have
been complied with.
5. That C.U.P. 83-16 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.

SUBJEC'l': C.O.P. 83-9
Dear Donna:
In your letter dated June 6, 1988, paragraph 2, you state, "It has come
to our attention.... which seems to imply that you were unaware of the
operation of our school prior to this time.
May I give you a quick historical update:
1. At the time of purchase, both the owner and the realtor knew we had
purchased this facility and business, to expand it to include the qperat~on
of a school -- and both said it was appropriately zoned for that, but would
require filing an application for a C.O.P. for .churchusage". 'Which we did.
At that time, had we known it was necessary, we would have applied for a
C.U.P. for operation as an elementary school as well.
2. During the pursuit of said C.O.P. (which the Council first approved,
and then, because of .parking., reversed itself--which, per our attorney's
cOllllllunication to Mr. Miller, was contrary to leqal precedent). It was CQIIIIIlOn
knowledge ttol!lt we were running a school and not merely a pre-school. When
we originally applied, 1 talked to you in the planning department, and
you and I sketched out different ways to get adequate parking to meet staff
requirements, which we concluded was a minimum of nine spaces. Transcripts
of the Planning Oammission meeting and the City COuncil meeting make reference
to the operation of the school. At no time did we "hide" tbis fact. Transcripts
will 8180 clarify that .intensity. was the big concern. We clearly end openly
expressed what we were doing, to the extent of giving you the breakdown of
student/teacher ratios.

3. When we first began, the Star-News ran an article about the school
and our program here.
4. We have continuously run ads in the two local telephone directories
showing the full scope of our program here.
s. We have run support ads in the Arcadia Police, Fire, and Junior Chamber
of Commerce magazines reflecting the full program.
6. For the last five. years, your Fire Inspector and Health Inspectors have
given us clean ratings, and have us recorded as Holly Oaks School and have
known the program. .
7. Each year, the reports to the Arcadia School Board requiring student
counts, have ~~llected UUL status pbL grau~.
8. All of our field trips including Police Department, Fire.Department,
and Library, on premises and off, have been with full awareness of our school
structure.
9. All of your correspondence has been addressed to Holly Oaks Christian SchOOl,
(not pre-school), even this last communication.
I could go on, but surely, this is ample demonstration that our public
profile has been known since Day-Dne -- to the community-at-large, to your
office, to the City departments, as well as to the Board of Education, other
schools, and to the scores of parents whose children we have faithfully served
for the last five years.
Our entire participation has been excellent -- and it has been public. There-
fore, I can only surmise that there must be some other reason (without even a
word of notice) behind this sudden action. The school's operation has certainly
been common knowledge, and never did we even consider that we'were operating
outside the parameters of the C.O.P. We, therefore, need clarification and
relief, and at least some good-faith-negotiations and understanding in this matter.
Respectfully yours,
~~ ,iJ.

SUBJECf: C.U.P. 83-9
Gentlemen:
In 1975. Conditional Use Permit 75-16 was granted to allow the
operation of a ~re-school at 141 Las Tunas Drive. In May. 1983. C.U,P.
83-9 was approved granting the expansion of the pre-school at 141
West Las Tunas Drive to allow 48 children per session.
It has come to our attention that you are operating a kindergarten
through 6th grade as well as a pre-school at the above premises. The
conditional use permit is for a pre-school onlv. Operation of a grade
school on the premises is In violation of the approved conditional use
permit.
Operation of the kindergarten through sixth grade classes must be
discontinued Immediatelv. In order to allow kindergarten through
sixth grade classes you will have to apply for a new conditional use
permit.
An Inspection of the premises will be conducted the week of June
20th, 1988 to Insure compliance.
If you have any questions you may contact me at (818) 574-5423.

6a, Noise, Grade school children generate more noise and are louder than
preschool children, It is anticipated that the noise is greater, however,
the noise increase is not considered to be significant enough to require
an environmental impact report.
13b, Parking, Effects on existing parking facilities or demand for new
parking, There are only four parking spaces on the site, If the
maximum number of teachers are on the site at one time (8) or if there
are any visitors or parents which come to the site there will not be
adequate on-site parking.
