Community Development Administrator By: Candyce Burnett, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Supplemental staff report to Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 99- 017. An expansion of a garage business for automotive repair at 400 N. First Avenue SUMMARY: . This is a supplemental staff report to the Conditional Use Permit application that was submitted by Randy Rizzi to expand a garage business for automotive repair at 400 N. First Avenue. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 99-017 subject to the conditions asset forth in the staff report. BACKGROUND: In response to a complaint, the Fire Department and Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the subject property on May 4, 1999 to determine if any code violations existed at this location. Mr. Rizzi, the business owner, was present during the inspection. Based upon staff's investigation, it was noted that the site's parking area was being used for outside storage, and occupied by an illegal lean-to, a canopy, and two illegally installed hoists. Following the inspection, Mr. Rizzi was advised of the procedure to bring his property into compliance and to apply for a conditional use permit if he wanted to expand the use. The existing 1,890 sq.ft. automotive repair shop does not have a conditional use permit and is considered a legal non-conforming use. The Arcadia Municipal Code prohibits expansion of legal non-conforming uses without obtaining an approved conditional use permit. . . Mr. Rizzi submitted a Conditional Use Permit on November 8, 1999, and a public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on January 11. 2000 to consider his request. At that time, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing to February 8, 2000, to give the applicant the opportunity to revise his plans and bring the property into compliance by removing the outstanding code violations from the site prior to such hearing. Currently. Mr. Rizzi has removed the illegal hoists, canopy, outside storage, and cleaned the property of refuge. The illegal lean-to is . still remaining on the site. The proposed site for the expansion was originally designed to provide needed parking for the existing business. Specifically, this parking area was supposed to be used for employee parking as well as parking for vehicles waiting to be repaired. I , PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to expand an eXisting automotive repair shop. The revised proposal will add an additional 1,102 sq.ft. of garage area, which also requires a parking modification to be granted because of the site's limited parking area. The additional garage would be constructed over a property line to accommodate three new work bays, indoor storage, and a trash enclosure area, as shown on the submitted sitelfloor plan. In addition, two oversized parking spaces will be provided for disabled access purposes. The current business hours would continue from 7:30a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. PARKING MODIFICATION: . Concurrent with the consideration of the request to expand a garage business for automotive repair, the applicant is also requesting a parking modification. Currently, the site has 6 on-site parking stalls. Per the submitted site plan, the applicant will provide two oversized parking spaces per the request of staff for disabled access purposes. The current parking regulations require that in an industrial zone, 2 on-site parking stalls shall be provided for every 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The applicant's proposal requires 6 on-site parking spaces of which one space must provide access for the disabled per such regulations. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW: Concurrent with the consideration of this modification, the Planning Commission may approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the applicant's design concept plans. The applicant's design concept plan proposes a building of approximately 1,102 sq.ft., which will have brick veneer applied over the structural concrete block to match the exterior of the existing building. . CUP 99.017 February 8, 2000 Page 2 . ANALYSIS: . . The purpose of the conditional use permit process is to allow the City an opportunity to review uses which require special consid~ration in regards to traffic, impact on adjoining properties, parking, etc. Currently, ;the applicant's existing operation has created an on-street parking problem because there is inadequate on-site parking, Staff believes that the revised on-site parking with the additional garage, which will accommodate 3 cars for overnight parking purposes, will mitigate the on-site parking deficiency. In staffs opinion, the applicant's revised proposal would be an appropriate improvement. 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 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 have any potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. RECOMMENDATIONS: The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 99-017. If the Planning Commission intends to approve the Conditional Use Permit application, such approval should be subject to the following conditions: 1. Building code compliance and conditions of approval must be met to the complete satisfaction of the Inspection Services Officer. All ADA requirements shall be meet for disabled access; parking, restrooms, door hardware, and entrances. 2.. 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 which shall include, but are not limited to the following items: a.

FINDINGS: Conditional Use Permit Before a conditional use permit may be granted, the Planning Commission must make the following findings: 1. That the granting of such Conditional Use permit will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injUrious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. CUP 99.017 February 8, 2000 Page 4 . . . 2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use permit is authorized. 1hat the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking loading, landscaping, and other features required to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood.

This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by Randy Rizzi to expand a garage business for automotive repair at 400 N. First Avenue. The Development Services Department is recommending denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 99-017. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Randy A. Rizzi LOCATION: 400 N.

Planned Industrial; zoned M-1 Planned Industrial and Multiple Family Residential; zoned C-2 . South: East: West: PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to expand an existing automotive repair shop. The proposal will enclose two illegally installed hoist adding an additional 1,125 sq. ft. of repair area which requires a parking modification. Business hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The existing automotive repair Shop does not have a conditional use permit and is considered a legal non-conforming use. The Arcadia Municipal Code prohibits expansion of legal non-conforming uses without obtaining an approved conditional use permit. BACKGROUND In response to a complaint, the Fire Department and Planning staff conducted a site inspection of the subject property on May 4, 1999 to determine if any code violations existed at this location. Mr. Rizzi, the business owner, was present during the inspection. Based upon staff's investigation, the following violations were noted: outside storage, illegal lean-tos, an illegal canopy, and two illegally installed hoists. Mr. Rizzi was apprised of these violations and advised that he must discontinue use of the hoists until installation details were submitted and permits were obtained from Building Services, Following the inspection a letter was sent to Mr. Rizzi, addressing all code violations and further advised him that he had until May 28,1999 to bring the property into compliance. Mr. Rizzi contacted Planning staff on May 26'11, and asked if it was possible to extend the compliance date because of the hOliday. During the conversation it was explained to Mr. Rizzi that he could apply for a Conditional Use Permit to request that the outdoor hoists remain on the site. If he intended to apply for a CUP, he had until May 31, 1999 to submit an application. CUP 99-017 January 11, 2000 Page 2 . On May 27th, Building and Planning staff made another site inspection and noted that the hoists were still being used and the canopy had not been removed. Mr. Rizzi was again advised that he must immediately discontinue using the hoists and that the illegal canopy had to be removed by June ?fh. On June 1,1999 Mr. Rizzi came into the office with questions about the CUP application. His questions were answered and he was given another extension until June 21st for the July 13th meeting, to apply for the CUP. Staff was concerned that he was stili using the illegal vehicle hoists at that time, which is a public safety issue. . Because of the continued use of the illegal hoists and other violations, the City Attorney's office sent a letter to Mr. Rizzi on July 6th informing him that he had until July 21, 1999 to bring the property into compliance or a criminal complaint would be filed. Again, Mr. Rizzi came into the Planning office for information about completing the Conditional Use Permit application. At this time, he was given an extension to August 9th, to file his application for the next Planning Commission Meeting on September 14th. On Monday, August 10th, a CUP application was submitted to Planning for the September 14th meeting. The application was reviewed and found to be incomplete i.e., the Architectural Design Review application and complete plans for Design Review and CUP submittal were missing. Staff informed Mr. Rizzi that the missing items were to be submitted prior to August 23m. On September 14,1999, because of non-compliance with the August 23m deadline, a letter was sent to Mr, Rizzi, with a refund of the filing fee. Pat Rizzi, from Gary Hill Automotive contacted Planning staff on September 29th to discuss how to complete the additional Architectural Design Review application. As a result of non- compliance with the code, the City' Attorney's office filed a criminal complaint against the applicant on October 14,1999. On October 28, 1999 and again on November 4, 1999, staff received a call from Mr. Rizzi's attorney inquiring about the code sections that the property at 400 N. First was in violation of: A fax was sent on both occasions. ' Mr. Rizzi attended court on November 16,1999 regarding the criminal complaint which is pending the outcome of this application. A follow up letter was sent to his attorney after the count appearance to reiterate upon the cited violations. . On November 8th, Mr. Rizzi submitted a new Conditional Use Permit application, which had an incomplete site plan and elevation. Staff was contacted by Mr. Rizzi's attorney regarding information on completing the CUP application. The revised plans were submitted to Planning on December 1,1999. In addition, the applicant submitted the hoist installation details. CUP 99-017 January II, 2000 Page 3 . . . On Wednesday, December 1,1999, staff again inspected the site at 400 N. First Ave. At this time it was noted that Mr. Rizzi had removed the illegal canopy. However, the lean-tos adjacent to the building had not been removed, equipment and parts were still being stored outside in the required parking stalls, and the hoists were still being used (see attached photos). PARKING MODIFICATION Concurrent with the consideration of the request to expand a garage business for automotive repair, the applicant is also requesting a parking modification. Currently, the site has 6 on-site parking stalls. The illegally installed hoists are located on 3 of the stalls. Per the submitted site plan, the applicant has provided 3 substandard parking stalls. In addition, a trash enclosure will be required if this application is approved, which may further reduce the amount of on-site parking. The parking regulations as set forth in the Municipal Code require that in an industrial zone, 2 on-site parking stalls shall be provided for every 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The applicant's proposal requires 6 on-site parking spaces per such code requirements. The purpose of the conditional use permit process is to allow the City an opportunity to review uses which require special consideration in regards to traffic, impact on adjoining properties, parking, etc. Currently, the applicant's existing operation has created an on-street parking problem because there is inadequate on- site parking. Adding the additional garage space and reducing the number of on- site parking spaces will exacerbate the current on-site and off-site parking problems. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW Concurrent with the consideration of this' modification, the Planning Commission may approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the applicant's design concept plans. The applicant's design concept plan, proposes a building of approximately 1,125 sq.ft. with a brick veneer over concrete block, to match the exterior of the existing building. ANALYSIS There has always been a parking problem along La Porte Street. The proposed site for expansion was originally designed to provide needed parking for the existing business. This parking area was supposed to be used for employee parking as well as parking for vehicles waiting to be repaired. The installation of the hoists and CUP 99-017 January 11, 2000 Page 4 . . . expansion of the building eliminates necessary parking spaces for this business resulting in a significant impact upon the on-street parking, In staffs opinion, the site is not adequate in size to accommodate the expanded use; and the proposed expansion,. if approved, would only increase the already existing on-street parking problem in this area. I . 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 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 have any potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. RECOMMENDATIONS: The Development Services Department recommends denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 99-017. If the Planning Commission intends to approve the Conditional Use Permit application, they should file the Negative Declaration and adopt Resolution 1602 approving Conditional Use Permit 99-017 to expand a garage business for automotive repair at 400 N. First Avenue, subject to the following conditions of approval: 1. Building code compliance and conditions of approval must be met to the complete satisfaction of the Inspection Services Officer. All ADA requirements shall be meet for disabled access; parking, restrooms, door hardware, and entrances. 2. 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 which shall include, but are not limited to the following items: a. A Knox-box with keys shall be installed in conformance with Uniform Fire Code, per UFC 904. b. An NFPA-72 Fire Alarm System shall be installed in accordance with the Uniform Building Code and all other applicable provisions of the Arcadia Municipal Code (3114.1).

Exit illumination shall comply with Sec. 1211 UFC. e. The calculated occupant load is over 50, all exit doors shall be equipped with panic hardware as defined in the building code. All interior doors shall open in the direction of travel. 3. A modification be granted for 3 on-~ite parking spaces in lieu of 6 required for the garage business, This parking Modification does not constitute an approval of a general reduction of the parking requirement for the entire site, but rather only for the specific use approved by this CUP. 4. That there shall be no outdoor storage of merchandise, crates, bottles, equipment, cars, and car parts permitted. 5. That a trash enclosure be provided on site with the review and approval of Planning Staff for location and design. 6. That CUP 99-017 shall not take affect until the owner and applicant have executed a form available at the Planning Office indicating awareness and . acceptance of the conditions of approval. 7. Noncompliance with the provisions and conditions of this conditional use permit shall constitute grounds for its immediate suspension or revocation. If the Planning Commission intends to deny this conditional use permit application, the Commission should move for denial and direct staff to prepare a resolution which incorporates the Commission's decision and specific findings.

D I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" on the environment, but at least one effect 1) 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. D 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 pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or m' tion measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is requi ~ 12116/99 Date . Candyce Burnett Printed Name The City of Arcadia For EIR CHECKLIST 2 01107100 . . . 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 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 project 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-specifi9 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) "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required, 4) "Negative Declaration: Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated' applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less 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)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist. 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 orpages 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) The analysis of each issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance ElR CHECKLIST l 01107100 File No:: CUP 99-017 .
