STAFF REPORT DEVEWPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT December 14,1999 FROM: Arcadia City Planning Commission Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator By: James M. Kasama, Associate Planner TO: SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 99-018 - Request for 24-hour operation of the Sav-on Drugstore at 1401 S. Baldwin Avenue. SUMMARY This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by Tait & Associates on behalf of American Stores Properties to request 24-hour operation for the Sav-on Drugstore at 1401 S. Baldwin Avenue. The Development Services Department is recommending approval subject to the conditions listed in this report. . GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Mr. Allen Sipe - Tait & Associates LOCATION: 1401 S. Baldwin Avenue REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit for 24-hour operation of the Sav-on Drugstore. SITE AREA: Approximately 209,690 sq. ft. (4.81 acres) FRONTAGES: Approximately 386-feet along Baldwin Avenue Approximately 565-feet along Naomi Avenue EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is improved with approximately 57.876 sq. ft. of retail space in 3 buildings with 275 on-site parking spaces. The property is zoned C-2. General Commercial. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial . . . . . . SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Mixed retail that is zoned C-2. South: Multiple family residential along Camino Real Avenue that is zoned R-3, and mixed commercial at the intersection of Baldwin Avenue & Camino Real Avenue that is zoned CoO and C-2. East: Mixed commercial and a church that are zoned C-2. West: Multiple family residential that is zoned R-3. PROPOSAL & AI1lAL YSI~ The proposal is to have the existing Sav~ drugstore open for business on a 24- hour basis. The current business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sundays, and deliveries are during those business hours. No physical changes to the building or premises are proposed at this time. The other uses in this retail center are as follows; Moffett's Restaurant Baskin & Robbins 2 Beauty Salons Vietnamese Restaurant Custom Apparel Shop Computer Shop Chinese Restaurant Radio Shack Staff does not think that 24-hour operation of the Sav-on drugstore would conflict with any of the other uses in this retail center. The application indicates that deliveries are conducted at 6:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. There are no general restrictions on business deliveries in the Arcadia Municipal Code. The collection of refuse is limited to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5;00 p.m. The Arcadia Police Department has expressed concern that sufficient measures be taken regarding deliveries or other activities as well as any additional lighting between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. so as not to adversely impact the neighbors, and it has been suggested that access be limited to the northerly entrance for security purposes. In this case, shipping, receiving and maintenance activities at the rear of the drugstore should be prohibited between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7;00 a.m. Late night or early morning deliveries conducted through the front of the drugstore should not cause any adverse impacts. Limitation of access is to be reviewed by the Fire Marshall, and will need to comply with emergency access and exiting requirements. No additional lighting is proposed CUP 99-018 December 14, 1999 Page 2 - . . . . at this time. However, all lighting, existing as well as new, must comply with the following provisions: 9263.6.1. LIGHTING. Lighting shall be hooded and arranged to reflect away from adjoining properties and streets. Light standards shall be a maximum of twenty (20) feet in height. The height of the light standards shall be measured from the elevation of the adjacent pavement of the parking lot. Exception. When the subject proparty abuts residentially zoned property, light standards within one hundred (100) feet of said property may not exceed fifteen (15) feet in height. Staff has not received any complaints relative to the shipping and receiving activities of this Sav-on drugstore. The recommendecl limitations will help assure that there will not be any even with the store being open for business on a 24-hour basis. CECA Pursuant to the provIsions of the California Environmental Cuality 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 have any potential for 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. CUP 99-018 subject to the following four conditions: 1. That any and all shipping, receiving and maintenance activities at the rear of the drugstore be prohibited between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. 2. That any limitations on ingress and egress be subject to review and approval by the Fire Marshall. 3. Approval of CUP 99-018 shall not take effect until the property owner and applicant have executed and filed the Acceptance Form available from the Development Services Department to indicate awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. CUP 99-018 December 14, 1999 Page 3 . . . . . 4. Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of CUP 9~18 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of any approvals. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ADDfoval The Planning Commission should move to approve the Negative Declaration and adopt Resolution No. 1601: A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia, California, granting Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 99-018 fOf 24-hoUf operation of the Sav-on drugstore at 1401 S. Baldwin Avenue. Denial If the Planning Commission intends to deny this Conditional Use Pennit application, the Commission should move for denial and direct staff to prepare a resolution incorporating the Commission's decision and specific findings.

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, but because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier ErR pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. a/rft~ Si9iure 7 James M. Kasama.Associate Planner Printed Name & Titla Date: November 10. 1999 For: Citvof Arcadia -3- CEOA Checklist 2/99 . . . . . File No,: CUP 99-018 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 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. "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 XVIII, "Earlier 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 analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVIII 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 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. The analysis of each issue should identify: a) The significant criteria or threshold used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. -4- ceOA Checklist 2/99 . . . . .
