P. 65-2) SOUTH SIDE OF DUARTE ROAD Bm'\'EEN EL MONTE AVENUE AND SANTA ANITA AVENUE APPLlCA TlON The application is filed in the name of the Elrovig Company by the City of Arcadia on City-owned land for the purpose of granting a conditional use permit to allow the property. to be used for church purposes. The property is located on the south side of Duarte Road between Santa Anita Avenue and EI Monte Avenue, and is commonly known as 82, 100, 110 and 118 West Duarte Road. . SUBJECT PROPERTY, SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING The proposed site consists of approximately 122,067 sq. ft. with 442 ft. of frontage along Duarte Road, and an average depth of 300 ::. ft. The entire site is in Zone R-l. Under provisions specified in Resolution No. 3714, however, the property can be used for Planned Residential Unit Development. This would allow a greater density than is permitted under existing R-l regulations. The properties surrounding the subject site are in the following zones: A. The property to the north is zoned partially R-l and partially R-2. The use is for school purposes. B. The property to the east is portially zoned R-l and partially unzoned. The area is developed with public and semi-public uses consisting of a church, Masonic Temple and ,th:~ City l,ibrary. C. The property to the south is in Zone R-l ond is developed with single- family residences. . D. The property to the west is zoned R-l and like the subject property, has the Planned Residential Unit Development option, granted by Resolution No. 3714. The properties in the area with the exception of those along EI Monte Avenue are developed with older residential structures. - 1 - / J/:' ~ \./ - ' ~ '. " " ~ . - , . . c. U. P. 65-2 April 27, 1965 Page Two PROPOSED SITE DEVELOPMENT Although no specific site development plan accompanies this appl ication, it is proposed that the property be used for church purposes. ANALYSIS Churches are allowed by Conditional Use Permit to locate in Zone R-l. The analysis of the subject application must, therefore, be based upon the compatibility of the use with surrounding uses. Pertinent to this discussion is a determination made by the City Council that the property is appropriate for uses other than R-l (See attached Resolution No. 3714). Th is resolution allowed the property to be used for Planned Unit Residential Development. This concept would allow a greater density than R-l. It was cited in making this decision that one of the considerations was the previous determinotion by the City that the subject property should be developed for public and semi-public uses. The additional development option for Planned Unit Residential Development was given. Since that time no interest has been shown for development under this original concept. The subject application is certainly within the intent of the original concept of public and semi- public uses. In order to grant a conditional use pennit, however, the use must be evaluated on the following requirements set forth as prerequisite conditions before a Conditional Use Permit can be granted: A. Such Conditional Use will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. The property across the street is owned by the Arcadia Unified School District and is developed with the Arcadia High School buildings. The proposed use can be adjusted to be compatible with residential area to the south and west. -2- ..- -; ., '-' . . , C.U.P.65-2 April 27, 1965 Page Th ree B. The use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use permit is authorized. As has been stated previously, churches are permitted by Conditional Use Permits in Zone R-l. C. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, land- scapin9. and other features required, to adjust the use with the land and uses in the neighbarhood. There is sufficient area for this purpose since the subject property has in excess of 122,000 square feet and ample width and depth. D. The site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use. Duarte Road is one of the City's arterial streets and qualifies in this manner. The proposed use would be the fourth major traffic generator to locate in this area. The Staff, however, does not anticipate any any severe problems prov ided that adequate park ing is prov ided. E. The granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. If the previous policy of the City Council and Planning Commission that the site is appropriate for public and semi-public use is still applicable, then this use would not affect the general plan for the area. In terms of environment and accessibility, the site is an appropriate location for a church. The site is on an arterial street where it is easily accessible from scattered parts of the community. The above analysis is based upon the use of the subject property and not a specific set of development plans. Based upon the use, the Planning Department recommends that the application be approved, subject to the following~onditions:
