ANALYSIS The applicant submitted a parking survey af the imrnediatearea to. the prapased learning center far a week periad (the caunts accurred at 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m.). The survey indicated an abundance af available parking spaces in the immediate area (See Attached Survey). Althaugh the propased use wauld have an an-site parking deficiency af 17 spaces, staff believes that such a deficiency wauld be mitigated because the students are nat af driving age. Staff has visited the subject site an several different days, at different times, and has abserved that there are ample an-site parking spaces available in the vicinity af the prapased learning center. Staff does nat faresee that the prapased use wauld campaund any existing deficiency ar traffic circulatian. The applicant shall be required to. comply with all cade requirements as determined necessary by the Building Official, Fire Marshall, Public Warks Services Director and Cammunity DevelapmentAdministrator. CEQA Pursuant to. the pravlslans af the Califarnia Enviranmental Quality Act, the Develapment Services Department has prepared an initial study far the prapased praject. Said initial study did nat disclase any substantial ar patentially substantial adverse change in any af the physical canditians within the area affected by the praject including land, air, water, minerals, f1ara, fauna, ambient naise and abjects af histarical ar aesthetic significance. When cansidering the recard as a whale, there is no. evidence that the prapased project will have any patential far adverse effect an wildlife resaurces ar the habitat upan which the wildlife depends. Therefare, a Negative Declaratian has been prepared far this project. RECOMMENDATION The Develapment Services Department recommends appraval af Canditianal Use Permit No.. CUP 00-003 subject to. the fallawing conditians: 1. The learning center shall be maintained and aperated in a manner that is consistent with the applicatian and plans submitted and appraved far CUP 00- 003. 2. Emplayees af the learning center shall park their vehicles in the parking lat that is behind the subject building. 3. There shall be no. parking ar stapping alang the driveway aisle far picking-up/ar dropping aff af students. CUP 00-003 May 9, 2000 Page 3 . . . 4. The maximum number of students at anyone time shall not exceed twelve (12). 5. All City code requirements regarding accessibility, fire protection, occupancy, and safety shall be complied with to the satisfaction of Building Services and the Fire Department. 6.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmentalfactors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. Aesthetics Agriculture Resources Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources - Geology 1 Soils Hazards & Hazardous Hydrologyl Water Quality Land Use 1 Planning Materials Noise - Population 1 Housing Mineral Resources Recreation Transportation / Traffic - Public Services MandatOry Findings of Utilities I Service Systems Significance DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency): On the basis of this initial evaluation: I fmd that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MTIlGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTREPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect I) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. :-:-~ Signature Kenneth PhunR Printed Name ~- 4/13/2000 Date CITY OF ARCADIA For CITY/RVPlnB/20002000/546265 "f' FORM Page20f4 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: . I) A brief explanation is required for aU answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses 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 wiU 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 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 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 effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." 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 XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may 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 analyzed in.an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(O). In this 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 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. . CITY/RVPUB/2000/313785 FORM "]" Page 3 of 4 . . . 7) Supporting Information Sources. A source list should be attached, and other sources used 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 form 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 significance 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 significance. CITYIRVPUB/2000/313785 FORM "J" Page 4 of4 . . . ISSues: I. AESTBETlCS~ Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenkvista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, tress, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? The proposed use will be in an existing commercial building, any exterior improvements will be required to comply with local architectural standards and illumination limits and will not result in any of the above impacts. U. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the Califomia Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project: a)Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?

Issues: c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? The proposal is consistent with the commercial designation in the General Plan and with the C-2 zoning of the site, and is reqnired to comply with the regulations any other jurisdictional agency with applicable environmental regulations. The proposal is for a commercial use, which is consistent with the surrounding development. lli. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?

Issues: e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? The proposed learning center and Its operation willbe subject to local air quality regulations as administered by the South Coast Air Quallty Management District which should prevent any impacts relative to items (a) and/or (b) above. There are no exterior improvements proposed that would result In alterations to air movement, moisture or temperature, or cause a change In climate. No objectionable odors have been associated with the proposed use. IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department ofFish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations. or by the California Department of fish and Game or U.S. fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adverse effect on.federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
