TO: Arcadia City Planning Commission
FROM: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
By: James M. Kasama, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 00-014 tor a coffeehouse
at 29 E. Huntington Drive.
SUMMARY
Dr. Hanfu Lee submitted this Conditional Use Permit application for a 2,110 square
foot coffeehouse at 29 E. Huntington Drive. The project also includes parking
modifications for the proposed coffeehouse, and for the applicant's 2,381 square foot
dental office which will occupy the rear 1,013 square feet of the existing building and
a 1,368 square foot addition to the rear ofthe building. The Development Services

. !3ENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Hanfu Lee, DDS - A Professional Dental Corporation
LOCATION: 29 E. Huntington Drive
REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit for a 2,110 square foot coffeehouse, and
parking modifications for the proposed coffeehouse and a proposed
2,381 square foot dental office at the rear of the building.
SITE AREA: 7,000 square feet (0.16 acre)
FRONTAGE: 50 feet along E. Huntington Drive
EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING:
The site is improved with a 3,123' square foot commercial building.
The property is zoned CaD - Central Business District.
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
North: City Parking District NO.2
South: Retail - zoned CaD
East: General Offices - zoned CaD
West: Mixed Commercial - zoned CBD
.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial
.
.
.
BACKGROUND
The applicant purchased the property in 1996 with the intention of moving his dental
practice into the existing building. However, at that time the CBD zoning included
the requirement that the front 1/3 of the building be occupied by retail uses. The
applicant, therefore, developed plans to add onto the building. His dental practice
would occupy the rear 2/3 of the expanded building, and the front 1/3 would be
leased to a retail use. Modification No. MC 96-051 was approved for 7 parking
spaces in lieu of 14 spaces for a dental office and retail use.
On May 5, 1998 the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency approved the applicant's
architectural concept plans for the addition and remodel of the building subject to
approval of a parking modification, and on July 14, 1998 the Planning Commission
.approved Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 98-013 submitted by the
Arcadia Presbyterian Church to operate a 1,371 square foot coffeehouse and a
parking modification for 7 spaces in lieu of 31 spaces for the coffeehouse and a
2,749 sqiJare foot dental office. That CUP and the related parking modification
expired without being implemented.
In August of 1999, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2112, which amended
the CBO zoning by repealing the front 1/3 retail requirement along Huntington Drive.
The applicant still wishes to add onto and remodel the building, and have a retail
space in front and his dental practice in the rear portion of the building. On March
28,2000, Modification No. MC 00-016 was approved for 7 parking spaces in lieu of
25 spaces for a dental office and retail use.
The applicant is now requesting this CUP to use. the front retail portion for a
coffeehouse. This proposal has been slightly revised from the plan submitted for
CUP 98-013 to provide a larger waiting room for the dental office. This current
remodel and addition proposal was reviewed and approved by the Redevelopment
Agency on May 2, 2000.
PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS
There are two parts to this addition and remodel project. The first part is to have the
front 2,110 square feet of the building available for use as a coffeehouse with daily
hours of operation of 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight, and entertainment two nights a
week. The second part is to use the rear 2,381 square feet of the building for a
dental office with hours of operation of 9;00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through
Saturday.
Coffeehouse
The request for a coffeehouse is only conceptual at this time. There is no specific
tenant, and a floor plan has not been developed. The applicant thinks that this
location is a good one for a coffeehouse. It is centrally located in the downtown
business core along Huntington Drive, and an existing easement through the lot
CUP 00-014
September 12, 2000
Page 2 of 7
.
.
.
provides for pedestrian access from the City's Parking District and for the
businesses to the north of the Parking District. The parking requirement for a
coffeehouse is 10 spaces per 1,000 gross square feel For 2,110 square feet, 21
parking spaces are required.
The proposal for. the coffeehouse includes allowing operation from 6:00 a.m. to
12:00 midnight, seven days a week. The hours .of operation for a retail use at this
location would not be restricted because it is not within 150 feet of residentially
zoned property. The entertainment aspect of the proposal will be subject to the
City's Entertainment Permit process, which is administered by the Business License
Permit and Review Board. Because this is a foodservice use, a second accessible
restroom is required by the Plumbing Code, and it is subject to review and approval
of a Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan as administered by the Public
Works Services Department.
Dental Office
The proposed dental office will have 2,381 square feet of gross floor area. It will
occupy the rear 1,013 square feet of the existing building, and 1,368 square feet that
is to be added to the building. The floor plan includes 6 operatories, a lab, an X-ray
room, an office, a receptionist's area, a waiting room, and a restroom. The business
hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. A dental office is not
subject to a Conditional Use Permit. It is included in this application because it
requires a parking modification. The parking requirement for dental offices is 6
spaces per 1,000 gross square feet. For 2,381 square feet, 15 parking spaces are
required.
Parkin a
The proposed remodel and addition, which was conditionally approved by the
Redevelopment Agency on May 2, 2000 includes 4 on-site parking spaces
(3 standard spaces & 1 van accessible handicap space) and the property is allotted
3.spaces in City Parking District NO.2. The proposed coffeehouse and dental office
require a combined total of 36 parking spaces. There is a defiCiency of 29 spaces,
so the required parking modification is 7 spaces in lieu of 36 spaces.
In the CBD zone, additions to existing buildings, rehabilitation of existing buildings,
or changes in use or occupancy in existing buildings are eligible to utilize the
Alternative Shared-Use Parking Standards provided that a parking agreement with
the City is signed and recorded by the property owner. In this case, there will be an
addition and rehabilitation of the existing building, and a change in use. Therefore,
this project is eligible to use the Alternative Shared-Use Parking Standards.
The Alternative Shared-Use Parking Standards prOVides the following requirements
for this proposal: 3 spaces per 1,000 gross square feet for the dental office, and 5
spaces per 1,000 gross square feet for the coffeehouse. These standards result in a
combined total parking requirement of 18 spaces for the two uses which reduces the
CU P 00-014
September 12,2000
Page 3 of 7
.
.
.
deficiency for this project by 18 parking spaces; from 29 spaces to 11 spaces. The
required parking modification under the Alternative Shared-Use Parking Standards is
7 spaces in lieu of 18 spaces.
The Shared-Use status of the parking on this property would not become effective
until an adjacent or nearby property also participates in the Shared-Use parking
provisions. At this time, there are no properties along the north side of Huntington
Drive, between Santa Anita and First Avenues that participate in the Alternative
Shared-Use Parking provisions.
Staff's opinion is that the proposed combination of uses will not have an adverse
impact upon the available parking in the area. Observations of City Parking District
No. 2 indicate that there is adequate available parkihg in the center portion of the
District. Most of the daytime coffeehouse clientele will probably be downtown
pedestrian traffic, and after business hours, there is plenty of parking available. The
dental office will operate on an appointment basis, which will limit the demand on
parking at any particular time.
Because a coffeehouse is a type of business that is being encouraged in this area to
promote pedestrian activity, and based on the available parking and participation in
the Shared-Use Parking program, it is staff's opinion that the parking deficiency is
not substantial enough to disapprove the parking modification. However, because
there will be only 3 standard on-site parking spaces, staff thinks that these spaces
should be available for the clientele of either the coffeehouse or dentist, and should
not be used for long tenn, or all day parking by the employees of either business.
Therefore, the 3 standard on-site spaces' should be restricted to a maximum time
limit of two hours. This will also facilitate the Shared-Use of these parking spaces,
should that ever be Implemented.
CeQA
Pursuant to the prOVISIons of the California Environmental Quality Act, the
Development Services 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. When considering the record as a whole, there
is no evidence that the proposed project will haveaflY potential for adverse effect on
wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a
Negative Declaration has been drafted for this project.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1. A brief explanatloll Is required for all answers except 'No Impact' answers that are adequately
supported by the Information sources a lead agency cites In the responses following each question. A
"No Impact' answer Is adequately supported If the referenced information sources show that the
Impact simply does not apply,to proJects IIkt;t the one Involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault
rupture zone). A 'No Impact' answer should be explained where it Is based on proJect-specific factors
as well as generel standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensltive receptors to pollutants, based
on a project-specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action Involved, Including off.slte as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project.level, Indirect aswell as direct, and construction as well as operational
Impacts. .
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physlcallmpact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the Impact Is potentially significant, less than. significant with
mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact' Is appropriate If there Is substantial
evidence that an effect Is significant. If there are one or more, 'Potentially Significant Impact" entries
when.the determination Ismade, an EIR Is required.
4. 'Negative Declaration: less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated' applies where the
Incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from 'Potentially Significant Impact' to a
"Less Than Slgnlficantlmpaot.' The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section
XVIII, "Eariler Analyses," must be cross-referenced).
5. Eariier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
. effect has been adequately analyzed In an eariler EIRor Negative Declaration. Section
15063(c)(3)(C). In this case, a brief discussion should Identify the following:
a) Eariler Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed In an eariier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mlligatlDn measures based on the ear1ler .
analysis
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are 'Less Than Significant With MItigation Measures
Incorporated,' describe the mitigation measures which were Incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to Incorporate Into the checklist, references to information sources for
potential Impacts (e,g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference. to a previously prepared or
outside document Should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the
statement is substantiated.
7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached. and other sources, uses or
Individuals contacted, should be cited in the discussion.
8. This Is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's
environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9. The explanation of each lssueshould Identify:
a) The significant criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.
