Exhibit "A" 1545 . STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMrnNTSER~CESDEPARTMENT March 25, 1997 TO: Chairman and Members of the Arcadia City Planning Commission FROM: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator /J~ By: James M. Kasama, Associate Planner t?lf/J qr:- Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 97-002 A 122 room Extended Stay America hotel SUBJECT: SUMMARY This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by Extended Stay America, Inc. for a three-story, 122 studio-room hotel at 401 E. Santa Clara Street. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of this application,subject to the conditions in this report. . GENERAL INFORMA nON APPLICANT: Extended Stay America, Inc, LOCA nON: 401 E. Santa Clara Street -- The subject property is on the north side of East Santa Clara Street bounded on the west side by the Santa Anita Wash, on the :. north~side by the Foothill Freeway, and on the east side by a one acre vacant <'r~maihtI~r parcel. e. r.' '." REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit for a three-story, 122 room hotel (rooms to include ki tchenetles) SITE AREA: Approximately 103,50 I square feet (2.37 acres) FRONTAGES: 88.80 feet along East Santa Clara Street 674.25 feet along the Foothill Freeway ZONING: CPD-ll Commercial Planned Development . GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial . . . EXISTING LAND USE: None -- the site is vacant. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Foothill Freeway -- Not zoned South: Residence Inn Hotel & a vacant lot -- Zoned CPD-I East: Vacant remainder parcel-- Zoned CPD-l West: City water tanks & vacant lots (across from Wash) -- Zoned CPD-I PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to build a 122 studio-room hotel. There will be one, three-story, 40 foot high, 52,428 square foot hotel building, a recreation area with a. barbecue and sports court, and a satellite dish antenna. The rooms will include kitchenettes. A typical room layout is attached. There will not be any food or beverage services on the premises. Extended Stay America caters to customers that may require to be located in a particular area for several weeks due to business necessities such as corporate relocation, travel, training or other personal needs, Nevertheless, because the proposed project is intended to accommodate transient customers, 24-hour, on-site management should be provided for the project. The building will be set back on the site parallel to the freeway. A 20 foot, grass-crete emergency access setback will be maintained around the back of the building. The structure will be light gray with cream accenting and blue and white trim. Accessory stmctures will be painted to match. Specifics ofthe perimeter fencing are not indicated. SPECIALINFORMA TION The property owner, EmKay Development Company, Inc. and the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency have approved a Disposition and Development Agreement for the subject property, The proposed hotel project has been designed in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. Because the subject property is within the Redevelopment Area, the architectural design of the proposed project has been ,approved by the Redevelopment Agency. ANALYSIS The proposed project complies with the CPD-1 (Commercial Planned Development) zoning regulations and the commercial criteria of the General Plan. Holels with rooms with kitchenettes are an allowed use in the CPD-l zone with an approved Conditional Use Permit. The floor area ratio for the proposed hotel is 50.65% (52,428 I 103,501) .and its 17,476 square foot footprint covers 16.88% of the site. CUP 97-002 March 25, 1997 Page 2 . . . The General Plan includes this site within a Land U,se Transition Area (Mixed Use Area along Santa Clara Street and Huntington Drive) however, the site was not designated for mixed use. Furthermore, State law defines transient occupancies as those that do not exceed a 30-day period. Therefore, notwithstanding the extended stay aspect of the proposed project, it cannot be considered, nor can it be used for residential purposes without a General Plan amendment, and guest occupancy should be limited to 30,days, Access ,to the site will be by a 30 foot wide driveway on Santa Clara Street. 146 on-site parking spaces are proposed, Code requires 1.2 spaces per room (122 x 1.2 = 146.4), There will be 109 standard spaces, 29 compacl spaces (147 x 20% = 29.4) seven regular accessible spaces and one van-accessible space. Exterior site lighting is not indicated on the plans. Lighting should be provided for the parking areas, recreation area and emergency access setback, Code allows light standards to have a maximum overall height of20'feet. Three signs are included in the proposal. Two 45 square foot wall signs will be on the northeast and northwest walls which ,face the freeway. A 25 foot tall, two-sided, 350 square foot (175 square feet per side) pylon sign will be, at the entrance. The area of the freestanding sign was based on the 671.25 foot frontage along the freeway. The proposed landscaping exceeds code requirements. In addition to landscaped curb overhangs, and the ten foot street front setback landscaping, the code requires ten percent of the .site, and five percent of the parking areas to be landscaped with one tree for every five parking spaces. Most of the overall site landscaping is provided by the recreation area at the northwest portion of the site. There will be at least 60'trees in the parking areas and the recreation area will, be abundantly landscaped, The 20 foot wide grass-crete setback area behind the building has been calculated as 50 percent landscaped. The satellite dish antenna will probably be adequately screened by the landscaping of the recreation area, However, the antellna should be secured by ai1 enclosure. The proposal also includes landscaping of the perimeter of the one-acre remainder parcel. The site is presently enclosed by chain-link fencing. The proposed plans do not indicate any other perimeter fencing or enclosure, Chain-link fencing is not consistent with the City's Architectural Design Review Criteria, Insofar as possible, the.same building materials should be used on all structures on a site, CEQA Pursuant to the provlSlons 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 substantlal 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 CUP 97-002 March 25. 1997 Page 3 adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat tlpOn which the wildlife depends, Therefore, a . Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. RECOMMEND A nON The Development Services Department recommends approval of CUP 97-002 subject to the following conditions: I.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS.POTENTIALL Y AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentiaIly affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages, . [ ] Land Use & Planning [ ] Population & Housing [ ] Geological Problems [ ] Water [ ] Air Quality [ ) Transportation I Circulation [ ] Biological Resources [ ) Energy and Mineral Resources See attached detail of Initial Study. . [ ] Hazards [ ] Noise [ ] Public Services [ ] Utilities and Service Systems [ ] Aesthetics [ ] Cultural Resources [ ] Recreation [ ] Mandatory Finding of Sismificance .2. . DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Leod AgClCY) On the basis of this initial evaluation: [X] 1 fmd that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLAR\ TIONwill 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 J.\'1A Y have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. . [ ] I find that the proposed project J.\'L.<\ Y 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 lV1itigated," an ,ENYIRONJ.\'IE!'ffAL 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 Wll..L NOT be a significant .effect in this case because all potentially significant effects have been analyzed adequate! y 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 proj ect, rd J-~ Signature 10/31/96 Date , Ie I Peter Kinnahan Printed Name Arcadia Redevelooment A!!encv For -.\- . EV ALUA nON OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answern 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 answern 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 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 Repo~ 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" maybe 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 intothecheckli~t, 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, . -1- , Would the proposal result in potentiallmpacts involving: Potentially SigniIic:mt Impact Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation IncorpOl':lted Less Than Signific:mt Impact , No Impact 1.
