Live Oak Avenue. TO: FROM: l SUMMARY . This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by Jiang Hao Quan to operate a 995 sq.ft. martial arts instruction studio at 616 E. Live Oak Avenue. There will be four (4) martial arts session per day, one in the moming, one in the afternoon and two at night. Each session will have a maximum of 15 students. The hours of operation, will be 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. The Development Services Department is recommending' approval of CUP 99-007 and subject to the conditions listed in this report and adoption of resolution 1590. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Jiang Hao Quan LOCATION: 616 E. Live Oak Avenue 1 REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a 995 sq. ft. martial arts instruction studio in an existing commercial shopping center. Each session will have a maximum of 15 students. The hours of operation will be 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p..m., Tuesday through Sunday. SITE AREA: 30,730 square feet (0.71 acres) FRONTAGES: Approximately 204 feet on Live Oak Avenue, and 132 feet on Hempstead Avenue. EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is developed with retail, church services, and restaurant establishments, and is zoned C-2. . . . . SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: A church and mixed commercial uses: zoned C-2. South: Single-family residences. which are located within the Los Angeles County area. East: vacant city-owned property; unzoned West: Restaurants; zoned C-2 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial PROPOSAL Schools and instructional studios are permitted uses in the C-2 zone with an approved conditional use permit. The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit to operate a martial arts instruction studio. The hours of operation will be from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. There will be four (4) martial arts session per day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon and two at night. Each session will have a maximum of 15 students. The proposed studio would occupy 995 sq. ft. of retail space within a 9,539 sq. ft. commercial shopping center which fronts on East Live Oak Avenue, as shown on the attached site plan. parking On-site parking is located in the front and rear of the subject building. A total of 58 on-site parking spaces exist on the site. When the site was first developed it was required to have 48 parking spaces to accommodate the commercial uses. Conditional Use Permit 89-018, granted on December 12, 1989 permitted the operation of a restaurant at the subject site. The restaurant occupied 1,990 square feet of retail space. This request required 20 spaces, which resulted in a net increase of 10 spaces for the site (i.e., 5 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of retail as compared to 10 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. for an eating establishment). The addition of the restaurant required the shopping center to maintain its. 58 parking spaces. Since the approval of CUP 89-018, two additional CUPs have been granted requiring additional parking spaces for the subject site: 1. Conditional Use Permit 90-018, granted on December 1, 1990, permitted a 995 sq.ft. martial arts studio at the same location as the proposed martial arts studio. With the approval of CUP 90-018, 70 on- site parking spaces were required for the site. Said spaces resulted in a net increase of an additional 12 parking spaces. CUP 99-007 April 13, 1999 Page 2 . . . 2. Conditional Use Permit 91-009, granted July 23, 1991 permitted an eating establishment at the SUbject site. This request required 24 spaces, which resulted in a net increase of 18 additional spaces for the site. With the approval of CUP 91-009, 88 on-site parking spaces were required. The proposed martial arts studio will replace the previous martial arts studio, which closed on December 31,1994. However, within the proposed 995 square foot space there will be a larger instructional area of approximately 700 square feet as compared to 600 square feet for the previous martial arts studio, and requires 15 parking spaces as compared to 12 spaces for the previous martial arts studio. This net increase is due to the difference in the parking standards (i.e., 5 required spaces based on 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet for retail as compared to 20 required spaces based on 1 space per 35 square feet for instructional area). With the addition of the new martial arts studio, 91 on-site parking spaces are required for the site. Proposed Mix of Uses and Current Parking Requirements Approx.

Notes CUP 91-009 CUP 91-015 CUP 99-007 ANALYSIS The maximum of 15 students at a time, as proposed by the applicant, should prevent the martial arts instruction studio from creating a parking problem, particularly if the students use the rear parking area. The through circulation afforded by this commercial shopping center's design and comer location should also prevent any potential pick-up and/or drop-off traffic from creating a congestion problem. The site has been operating under a l!imilar business layout since the Planning Commission granted a take-outldelivery eating establishment on July 23, 1991. CUP 99-007 April 13, 1999 Page 3 . . . Since 1991 similar types of businesses have been operating in the commercial center, i.e. retail, two restaurants and a martial arts studio. The Development Services' staff has visited the site on numerous occasions and on those occasions no parking problems exist. The City of Arcadia has also not received any complaint regarding parking problems for the site. Because the previous business was a martial arts studio, it is staff's opinion that the proposed martial arts instruction studio will not have a negative impact upon the other uses. The applicant shall be required to comply with all code requirements .as determined necessary by the Building Official, Fire Marshall, Maintenance Service Director and Development Services Director. CEQA Pursuant to the prOVIsions of the Califomia 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 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 99-007 subject to the following conditions: 1. The martial arts instruction studio shall be maintained and operated in a manner that is consistent with the application and plans submitted and approved for CUP 99-007. 2. . The applicant shall provide the following: a. An on-site disabled van accessible parking space with an accessible path of travel for the entire Shopping center shall be provided. b. If only one of the proposed restrooms is to be disabled/handicapped accessible, then both of the restrooms must be unisex. c. Installation of a Knox-box with keys in conformance with the Uniform Fire Code. d. Installation of ar;t NFPA-72 fire alarm system in conformance with the Arcadia Municipal Code. CUP 99-007 April 13, 1999 Page 4 . . . 3. Approval of CUP 99-007 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 acceptance of the conditions of approval. 4. All conditions of approval shall be complied with prior to completion of the tenant Improvements, and opening of the martial arts instruction studio. Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of CUP 99-007 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of any approvals that could result in the closing of the martial arts studio.. FINDINGS AND MOTIONS Approval The Planning Commission should move to approve the Negative Declaration and adopt Resolution No. 1590: A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia, California, granting Conditional 'Use Permit No. 99-007 for a 995 sq.ft. martial arts studio at 616 E. live Oak Avenue. Denial 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.

File No.: CUP 99-007 measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. [ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, but that at least one effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards and has been addressed by mitigation measures based on that earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, and if any remaining effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated," an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it only needs to analyze the effects that have not yet been addressed. [ ] I find that although the proposed proj ect could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Environmental Impact Report pursuant to applicable standards and have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

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 such as the one involved (e.g., the project is not within a fault rupture zone).. A "No Impacf' 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 welI as direct, and construction related as well as operational impacts. 3. ''Potentially Significant Impacf' 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 Environmental Impact Report is required. 4. ''Potentially Significant Unless 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 17 "Earlier Analyses" may be cross-referenced). . 5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program Environmental Impact Report, 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 17 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. . -4- CEQA Checklist 3/99 File No.: CUP 99-007 .
