STAFF REPORT
D~OPMrnNTSER~CESDEPARTMENT
July 11, 2000
TO:
Arcadia City Planning Commission
FROM:
Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
By: Corkran W. Nicholson, Planning Services Manager
SUBJECT:
Conditional Use Pel1T)it No. 2000-010
SUMMARY
.
The subject of this staff report is a request for a conditional use permitto provide
outdoor dining areas for the patrons of the mall's existing food court, and Kelly's
Coffee and Fudge Factory (a new tenant) at 400 South Baldwin Avenue. The
Development Services Department is recommending approval of the requested
conditional use permit subject t9 the conditions that are outlined in this staff
report.
GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Terry Walton (General Manager of the Westfield Shoppingtown -
Santa Anita)
LOCATION: 400 South Baldwin Avenue
REQUEST: A conditional use permit to .provide outdoor dining areas for the
patrons of the mall's existing food court, and Kelly's Coffee and
Fudge Factory (a new tenant). Concurrent with the consideration
of the requested conditional use permit the applicant is also
requesting approval of the proposed design concept plans.
LOT AREA: 80.13 acres
FRONTAGE: The site is in the vicinity of the northeast corner of Baldwin
Avenue and Huntington Drive (see the attached Land Use &
Zoning Map).
.
. EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING:
The site is developed with a regional shopping mall, and is zoned C-2 &
D, and C-2 D & H8 (General Commercial with a design and height
overlay).
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North: Santa Anita Park Race Track and associated stables, zoned S-1
and R-1
South: Office buildings, zoned C-2, CoO & D, and multiple-family
residential units, zoned R-3
East Santa Anita Park Race Track and associated parking, zoned S-1
and R-1
West Arcadia Fire Station No.2, zoned R-1; a service station, zoned C-
O & D; multiple-family units and the Los Angeles county Office of
Building and Safety, zoned R-1
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
.
The site is designated as Commercial.
SPECIAL INFORMATION:
The need to encourage outdoor d'inh1g areas is recognized by the City because it
can add needed vitality to our business districts and enhance the quality of life
for Arcadia residence. In 1996, the Arcadia City Council adopted an "Incidental
Outdoor Dining Ordinance" to set forth specific regulations for outdoor dining on
private property for up to 12 persons without a conditional use permit. The
ordinance is similar to the sidewalk dining regulations that were adopted by the
City Council in 1995. The applicanfs proposal requires a conditional use permit
because he is requesting two outdoor dining areas for a combined seating
capacity of 64 to 80 people.
PROPOSAL:
The applicant is requesting a cor{ditional use permit to provide outdoor dining
areas for the patrons of the mall's' existing food court, and Kelly's Coffee and
Fudge Factory (a new tenant witt;ln the mall's food court). Two patio areas for
outdoor dining purposes are proposed: a 975 sq.ft. patio with seating for 40
people would be provide for the 'patrons of the mall's existing food court, and a
610 sq.ft. patio with seating for 24 people would be provided for the Kelly's
. Coffee and Fudge Factory, as shown on the submitted floor plans. Both of the
C.U.P.2000-010
July 11, 2000
Page 2
.
.
.
patio areas would be incidental to the mall's 4,805 sq.ft. interior food court which
currently provides seating for 375 patrons.
The proposed outdoor dining areas would be used during the mall's current
business hours, which are from ~O:OO a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday;
10:00 a.m. to 7:pO p.m. on Satutdays; and 11 :00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays.
All food items would be prepared ~nd purchased inside the food court facility.
PARKING:
Staff does not anticipate a parking problem in reference to the proposed outdoor
dining areas because their use would be incidental to the primary food court
seating; and it has been staffs experience upon inspecting the site that a
substantial amoUnt of available on-site parking exists during the business hours.
Currently, the on-site parking consists of 5,768 spaces.
SIGNAGE:
No wall signs are being proposed in reference to the outdoor dining areas per
staffs recommendation to the appljcant. Staff feels that such signage would be
inconsistent with the character' of the existing mall facility Le., the existing
exterior wall signs only pertain to the identification of the mall, major department
stores, and a primary restaurant (a 1"3,084 sq.ft. "Todai" restaurant). The intent
of maintaining such signage is to prevent tenant signage from dominating the
exterior appearance of the mall..
EXTERIORAL TERATIONS:
Exterior alterations would consist of the fOllowing site improvements, as shown
on the submitted floor plan and building elevations:
. A patio for outdoor dining purposes will be constructed on each side of the
northwest entrance to the mall and food court.
. Each patio area will be secured by a 3'-0" to 4'-0" high fence that would
consist of metal fencing atop .8 masonry block base. The design of the metal
fence would match the design elements of the existing entry canopy, and its
masonry base would match the exterior masonry wall of the mall building.
. A 5'-0" to 6'-0" high water fountain would be placed within the patio area for
the Kelly's Coffee and Fudge Factory, which is shown on the submitted
"overall rendering"; and
\.
C.U.P.2000-010
July 11, 2000
Page 3
.
.
.
. Movable table and chairs with umbrellas would be placed within each outdoor
dining area. Red umbrellas with mall logos would be used to designate the
patio area for the food court patrons, and green umbrellas would designate
the patio area for the patrons of the Kelly's Coffee and Fudge Factory.
Concurrent with the considerati.on of the requested conditional use permit the
applicant is also requesting. architectural design review approval, which
incorporates the above mentioned improvements.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed outdoor dining areas are permitted within the mall facility with an
approved conditional use permit. It is staffs opinion that the site is more than
adequate to accommodate the applicant's proposal, and that the mall's shopping
environment would be further enhanced by the diverse dining features of the
proposed patio areas. Also, staff believes that the applicant's proposal meets
the intent of the design criteria S1~ set forth in the City's Architectural Design
Review Regulations. Specifi~liy, the proposed exterior alterations would be
visually harmonious with the mall's commercial development (see the attached
building elevations). ..:, " '.,
The applicant shall be required to comply with all code requirements as
determined necessary by the 'Building Official, Fire Marshall, Maintenance
Service Director, City Engineer, and the Development Services Director.
CEOA
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 hot disclose any substantial or potentially
substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area
affected by the project including'limd, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient
noise and objects of historical 9,r",ael'thetic significance. When considering the
record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have any
potential for an adverse effect on..wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the
.. .
wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this
project.
RECOMMENDATION
The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional
Use Permit No. 2000-010 subject to the following conditions:

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1. A brief explanation 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 like 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 general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a
project-specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level. indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical Impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impac~ is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation,
or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence
thal.an effect Is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the
determination is made, an EIR is' required.
4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has'reduced an effectJrom "Potentially Significant Impacf' to.a
"Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefiy
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant Ilevel (mitigation measures from Section
XVIII, "Eariier Analyses: must be cross-referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyze~ in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration. Section
15063(c)(3)(D), In !his case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier 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 earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis . .
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less Than Significant With Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mltigation"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 issue should identify:
a) The significant criteria or threshold, if any, 'used to evaluate each question; and
b) The mitigation measure identified, if Bny; to reduce the impact to less than significant.
