SUMMARY The subject of this staff report isa request for a conditional use permit to operate a 5,852 sq.ft. restaurant (dba: Matt Denny's Ale House Restaurant) which includes 1,400 sq.ft. of outdoor dining area, at 143 East Huntington Drive. The proposed hours of operation would be from 11 :00 lI.m. to I :00 am., Monday thru Sunday. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the requested conditional use permit subject to the conditions that are outlined in this staff report. GENERAL lNFORMA TION APPLICANT: Dennis C. Hartman (proprietor of the proposed restaurant). LOCATION: 143 East Huntington Drive REQUEST: A conditional use permit -- with related parking and sign modifications, and architectural design review - to operate a 5,852 sq.ft. restaurant (dba: Matt Denny's Ale House Restaurant). LOT AREA: 10,875 sq.ft. (0.25 acres) . FRONTAGE: 75 feet along Huntington Drive (see the attached Land Use & Zoning Map). , . EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is within the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency's area, and is developed with a vacant 4,075 sq.ft. commercial building; zoned CBD (Central Business District). The subject building has been vacant since 1990. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North: South: East: West: East lot of Parking District No.1; zoned CBD Outback restaurant and mixed commercial uses; zoned CBD Mixed commercial uses; zoned CBD Mixed commercial uses; zoned CBD GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: The site is designated as Commercial. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS: . The applicant's proposal involves extensive remodeling of the existing building to provide the restaurant use. The new 5,852 sq.ft. restaurant would have a seating capacity for approximately 200 people which includes a 1,400 sq.ft. outdoor dining area that will accommodate approximately 70 people, as shown on the submitted floor plan. The proposed hours of operation would be from II :00 a.m. to I :00 a.m., Monday thru Sunday. Alcoholic beverages will be served. EXTERlORBUlLDING At TERA TIONS: Exterior building alterations will consist of the following improvements which are shown on the submitted site plan and building elevations: . The front facade will be enhanced by replacing the existing mansard roof with a canvas canopy and new signage. The parapet above the proposed canopy would be finished with wood veneer and raised accent trim, and stained in green and red tones respectively, as shown on the submitted material sample board. Also, French doors, masonry brick veneer and wood trim will be added as additional relief elements. . The building's rear wall and the exposed westerly wall will be finished with stucco and color coated (terra-cotta red) with a brick cap atop the parapet. Also, a rear wall sign, new glass block window panels and service doors will be added, as shown on the submitted north and west building elevations. . . A 1,400 sq.ft. open patio area is proposed on the west side of the building which would be enhanced by brick garden walls and landscaped planters. C.U.P.97-013 November 25, 1997 Page 2 . . In the rear of the building an outdoor storage area and a trash enclosure would be provided. A dark blue canvas canopy, as shown on the submitted material sample board, is proposed along the front of the building. In staff's opinion this color is not compatible with the color scheme of the building, as shown on the submitted colored rendering. Further consideration should be given to provide a color that would blend with the reddish accent colors of the facade's brick veneer and raised trim. The applicant is proposing to use chainlink fencing with inserted wooden slats to screen the proposed outdoor storage area. It is staff's opinion that such fencing would not be durable nor architectiJrally compatible with the building. The storage area should be screened with a solid 6'-0" high stucco or decorative masonry wall with solid metal access gates painted a color compatible with the walls. Such a wall should also screen the trash enclosure. PARKING: . On-site parking will consist of a new parking area with 10 spaces, which includes a space for the disabled, as shown on the submitted site plan. In addition, the subject property is allocated one space within the neighboring east lot of Parking District No. I . The proposed amount of parking for the site (I I spaces) does not comply with the current parking requirement of 59 spaces for the new restaurant use (i.e., 10 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of gross floor area@4,452 sq.ft., plus the outdoor dining area @ 1400 sq.ft.). Random parking counts have been provided by the applicant (see the attached parking survey) and verified by staff to show the available parking for the proposed use. The parking counts include the neighboring east lot of Parking District No.1 which provides a total of 47 spaces, and the adjacent street parking which consists of 5 spaces. A range from 35 to 51 available parking spaces js noted from such counts. It has been staffs experience upon inspecting the site and the surrounding area during business hours that a substantial amount of available parking also exists on the west lot of Parking District No.1. This parking lot provides 55 spaces and is within 300 feet of the subject property (see the attached Parking District No. I map). It was noted that at least 50 % of such parking was available during the various site inspections by staff. Based on the available off-site parking, staff does not anticipate a parking problem in reference to the proposed restaurant. LANDSCAPING: . The proposed landscaped areas, as shown on the submitted site plan, should provide planting materials that are compatible with the Downtown 2000 plan. Therefore, if this C.U.P.97-013 November 25, 1997 Page 3 . . . proposal is approved, staff is recommending that a final landscape and irrigation plan be submitted to the Community Development Division for review and approval, prior to the issuance of a building permit. In order to further erthance the site's parking area, staff is recommending that continuous landscaped planters with curbs (0'-39" in total width) be provided in lieu of the proposed wheel stops. The irrigation, spacing, size and quantify of the planting material within the planter curbs shall be shown on the final planting and irrigation plan. In addition, landscaping should also be used in combination with the walls enclosing the proposed storage and trash area to discourage graffiti. MODIFICATIONS: The applicant's proposal requires the following modifications to be granted: 1. 1 I parking spaces for the site in lieu of 59 spaces required (Sec. 9269.3) 2. 36 % of the site's parking (4 spaces) would be small car spaces in lieuofa 20 % maximum requirement (9269.5.1) 3. A 4' -0" wide landscape buffer in lieu of a 5' -0" requirement between the parking area and the adjacent alley (Sec. 9269.l3.A.). 4. The primary wall sign on the front facade and a rear wall sign will extend approximately 2'-0" above the top of the walls on which they would be mounted (Sec. 9262.4.4.E). The Fire Department, Engineering Division and Building Services have reviewed the applicant's proposal, and have no opposition to the requested modifications. ARCIDTECTlJRAL DESIGN REVIEW' Concurrent with the consideration of this conditional use permit, the Planning Commission may approve, conditionally approve or deny the applicant's design concept. The Community Development Division and the Redevelopment Agency have been working with the applicant to refine and improve the overall design. It is staff's opinion that the applicant's proposal with the conditions of approval in this staff report complies with the intent of the design criteria as set forth in the City's Architectural Design Review Regulations. Since this proposal is within the boundaries of the Arcadia Redevelopment Area, it is subject to Agency Design Review and will be forwarded to the Redevelopment Agency for its review and approval. C.U.P.97-013 November 25, 1997 Page 4 . . . CEQA Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Development Services DepartInent 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 an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project.

E.I.R. Checklist 7/95 2 . DETERMINATION (To be complcb:!d by the Lead Agency.) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on 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 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(s) 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, . the effect is a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." mitigated." An ENVmONMENTAL 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, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case 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 mitigation measures that are' posed upon the prop s d project. 10 /1.1/11 JAr~ Date Signature ~i YI For Printed Name . 3 I'He No,: C.U.I',97,OI) ~ o o o o E.LR. Checklist 7/95 File No.: C.U.P.97.013 _VALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: .. . 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the informationsources 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 appropiriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entires when the determination is made, an EIR is required. "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 XVII. "ealier 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). Refernce to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. E.I. R.
