PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS
The applicant operates a 2,900 sq. ft. restaurant and cocktail lounge in the basement of the
bowling alley at 1020 S. Baldwin Avenue. The proposal is to add "karaoke" and/or
"sing-along" entertainment to the activities at the restaurant and cocktail lounge. The
restaurant and cocktail lounge were permitted by CUP 85-1, and the applicant was granted an
entertainment permit for live music, dancing, a pool table, a jukebox and 2 game machines in
November of 1997.
"Karaoke" entertainment was being provided by the applicant without an approved Conditional
Use Permit. The applicant was unaware that a CUP is nCC('OOAry. The City became aware of
the "karaoke" entertainment when the applicant submitted a temporary banner application to
advertise the "karaoke" entertainment.
Karaoke Regulations
In 1993 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1998 establishing regulations for "karaoke"
and/or "sing-along" entertainment. The ordinance was adopted in response to problems being
encountered primarily at "karaoke parlors". The regulations are as follows:
1, Karaoke and/or sing-along businesses sha1l only be allowed in open areas. There sha1l be
no private rooms, booths or enclosures,
2. No person under the age of twenty-one (21) shall be permitted unless otherwise
authorized by the specific Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license issued by the
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
3. No minors (persons under eighteen (18) years of age) sha1l be aIlowed on the premises
after 10:00 p.m., unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and specifically
authorized by the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license issued by the Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control.

.
4. No alcoholic beverages may be consumed or sold in any business exclusively operated as a
karaoke and/or sing-along. Alcohol may only be consumed or sold in conjunction with a
restaurant and cocktail lounge when karaoke and/or sing-along is an incidental or
nonprimary use.
5. All businesses shall be located with street visibility to allow direct inspection and response
by emergency personnel.
6. All entrance and exit doors shaI1 remain unlocked and unobstructed during business hours
and when any patrons are on the premises.
7. The business premises sha1l be open and available for inspection by any lawful agent of the
City of Arcadia during regu1ar business hours.
8. All conditions of the Conditional Use Permit sha1l be posted at a conspicuous location at
the premises and all employees sha1l be apprised of the conditions,
SPECIAL INFORMATION
The Arcadia Police Department has reviewed this proposal. They are not opposed to this
request provided that the business complies with the City's regulations, and they did not
recommend any conditions of approval.
Attached for the P1anning Cornmkqion's consideration is a petition from the Baldwin Stocker
Elementary PT A opposing this request.
CONCLUSION
The applicant's proposal is to include "karaoke" and/or "sing-along" as an incidental use with
the other types of entertAinment (i.e" live music &. dancing). Staff's opinion is that as an
incidental use subject to the City's regulations, "karaoke" and/or "sing-along" entertainment
supplements the live music and dancing and is an appropriate activity for restaurants and
cocktail lounges that provide entertainment.
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 not disclose any substantial or potential1y 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.

Dear Mr. Kasama:
As PTA President of Baldwin Stocker Elementary of Arcadia I and other concerned
parents strongly oppose the permit to allow "J(aroke" and/or sing-along entertainment at
the existing restaurant at the basement, of Bowling Square known as Gina's Restaurant. 1.
am unable to attend the hearing for it faIls on the evening of the PT A meeting which I
preside over, Many parents will also be at attendance of this imporatnt school meeting.
Therefore, I am taking this opportunity to state that I and other members of the PT A
have become alarmed at the rising number of nightlife entertainment which is invading
the city limits. We are also opposed to and have written to our mayor about the opening
of the Tattoo parlor on Duarte Avenue very close to our high school. 'We were
dismayed to read the article written about the tattoo parlor's grand opening where the
owner states that he was surprised how quickly he received a permit to open his shop
and how accommodating the city was in allowing him to open his shop where other
towns.had held him up for long periods of time. As aboard member of the high school
PT A and a PT A president I am in touch with many parents of children of all ages.
These sort of business do not belong within our city limits.
Arcadia was designed to be a bedroom community for family living and late night
entertainment, tattoo and body piercing businesses which have been shown to have a
connection to many gang groups directly contradicts what the founding fathers of
Arcadia and what most residents wish to have operate within the city limits. Please do
not allow Arcadia to be turned into a high entertainment area where the safety of its
citizens become at risk!

DETERMINATION
(To be complclcd by the Lead Agom:y)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
[Xl I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect oil 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 bCCAttOC the mitigation
measures descn'bed 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 bas been adequately ana1yzed in an earlier document
pursuant to applicable legal standards and has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on that earlier analysis as descn'bed on attached sheets, and if any
remaining effect is a "Potential1y Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant
Unless Mitigated," an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but
. itonly needs to anal}'2:e the effects that have not yet been addressed.
[ ] 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 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 Em, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

EV ALUA nON OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
I. 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 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, AIl 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 related
as well as operational impacts.
3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there issubstantiaI 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
R.eport, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier Em or
NegativeDeclaration (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.
