Exhibit "A" . . STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT January 13, 1998 TO: . Chairman and Members of the Arcadia Planning Commission FROM: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator By: John Halminski, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 98-001 SUMMARY This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by Ming Wang for a proposed 713 sq.ft. eating establishment (Subs 2 Go) with seating for 15 persons at 1 West Duarte Road. . The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the applicant's proposal subject to the conditions as outlined in the staff report. GENERAL INFORM A TION APPLICANT: Ming Wang for Subs 2 Go LOCATION: I W. Duarte Road, Unit #D REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit for a proposed 713 sq.ft. eating establishment (Subs 2 Go) with seating for 15 persons. LOT AREA: Approximately 33,202 square feet FRONTAGE: Approx. 114 feet along Duarte Road, and 210 feet along Santa Anita Ave. EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is developed with a 9,200 sq.ft. retail center that consists of two retail buildings with 55 on-site parking spaces and one loading zone. The site is zoned C-2. . . . . . . GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Office building, C-2; and Los Angeles County Park, zoned S-2 South: Arcadia.Public Library; unzoned East: Mixed commercial and gas station; zoned C-2 West: Mixed commercial, zoned C-2; and Arcadia High School, zoned R-l PROPOSAL The applicant is seeking a required conditional use permit to operate an eating establishment with seating for 15 patrons (11 indoor and 4 outdoor), as shown on the submitted site plan. This business is already a "food take out" operation within a retail space of approximately 713 sq,ft., which is within a 9,200 sq. ft. retail center, as shown on the submitted site plan. Business hours would be from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. PARKING Eating establishments require 20 parking spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of gross floor area. Within the proposed eating establishment there is 713 sq.ft. of gross floor area, which amounts to a parking requirement of 14 on-site spaces. The existing on-site parking ratio of 5.97 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of gross retail floor area results in a net parking space requirement of 10 spaces for the proposed eating establishment. The existing 9,200 sq.ft. commercial center was originally built for a retail purposes, and began with a parking ratio of5.97 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of gross retail floor area (55 spaces provided) which exceeded the code requirement of5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of retail (46 spaces). However, the existing amount of on-site parking (55 spaces) does not comply with the current code requirement of 134 spaces for the existing mix of uses (i.e., 5 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of gross retail floor area plus 16 spaces for the on-site yogurt shop seating - CUP 88-004, 18 spaces for the tutoring center - CUP 93-004, and 54 spaces for the EI Pollo Loco - CUP 96-010). With the addition of the proposed restaurant use the total number of on-site spaces required for the retail center would be 144. The attached traffic counts were submitted by the applicant, which indicates the number of available stalls during projected peak parking periods in reference to the proposed use (counts occurred at 12:00 p.m. for a two week period). The survey indicates that on an average, during the times of the survey, 34 on-site parking spaces were available. Staff has made random traffic counts and concurs with the applicants parking survey. CUP 98-00 I January 13. 1998 Page 2 . . . Since the addition to the center of EI Polio Loco (CUP 96-010), the City has not received any complaints nor has the center experiences any parking problems. ANAL YSIS Uses such as eating establishments and restaurants require conditional use permits, and traffic concerns can be addressed as part of the consideration of such applications. Generally, staff does not encourage uses which are deficient in parking; however, based upon the applicant's proposal and random parking counts by staff, it is staffs opinion that the proposed use would be an appropriate addition to the retail center. Attached for your consideration are copies of the proposed plans and traffic counts. 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. 98- 001, subject to the following conditions of approval: I. Building code compliance and conditions of approval must be met to the complete satisfaction of the Inspection Services Manager. 2. Fire safety shall be provided to the complete satisfaction of the Fire Department. 3. Hours of operation shall be 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. 4. A modification be granted for 55 parking spaces in lieu of 144 spaces. This approval shall not constitute an approval for a general reduction in parking for the total site. That this parking modification shall only be for the use approved by CUP 98-001 (an eating establishment). 5. That CUP 98-001 shall not take affect until the owner and applicant have executed an Acceptance Form available at the Planning Office indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. . CUP 98-00 I January 13. 1998 Page 3 . .' . . . 6. Noncompliance with the provisions and conditions of this conditional use permit shall constitute grounds for its immediate suspension or revocation. FINDINGS AND MOTIONS Approval If the Planning Commission intends to approve this conditional use permit application, the Commission should move to approve and file the Negative Declaration, find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and direct staff to prepare a resolution which incorporates the Commission's decision, specific findings and conditions of approval as.set forth in the staff report, or as modified by the Commission. Denial If the Planning Commission intends to deny this conditional use permit application, the Commission should make specific findings based on the evidence presented, and move for denial and direct staff to prepare a resolution which incorporates the Commission's decision and specific findings. Should the Planning Commission have any questions regarding this matter prior to the scheduled public hearing, please contact John Halminski at (626) 574-5447 at your earliest convenience. rr]:' ~1i~LL Corkran Nicholson Planning Services Manager Attachments: Land Use and Zoning Map, environmental documentation, floor plan, parking survey CUP 98-001 January 13, 1998 Page 4 . . , 100' ~ 53. .

File No.: CUP 98-00 I DETERMINATION (To be completed by IheLcad Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation; [Xl I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ 1 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 the mitigation 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 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 ErR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. rJA- ~. Si~ature December I7 1997 Date John Halminski Print Name City of Arcadia For .3.. CEQA Checklist 7/95 . . . . . File No.: CUP 98-001 EVALUATION 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. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cwnulative 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 is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significant JpIpact" 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 7/95 . . . .
