STAFF REPORT
Development Services Department
January 13, 2004
TO:
Arcadia City Planning Commission
FROM:
Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
By: Joseph M. Lambert, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 04-001 for a coffee house
with 23 seats at 305 N. Santa Anita Avenue, Unit A.
SUMMARY
This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by John Vision Restaurant (Tri
Truong), to allow seating for 23 patrons including incidental outdoor dining at an
existing take-out only coffee house at 305 N. Santa Anita Avenue, Unit A The
Development Services Department is recommending approval of this application.
subject to the conditions listed in this report.
GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: John Vision Restaurant (lessee)
LOCATION: 305 N. Santa Anita Avenue, Unit A
REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit to allow seating for 23 patrons including
incidental outdoor dining at an existing take-out only coffee house in a
1,400 sq. ft unit within the C-MI CommerciaJ-Manufacturing zone.
Proposed hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., seven days a
week_
SITE AREA: 68,258 square feet (1.57 acre)
FRONTAGES: 235 feet along Santa Anita Avenue
291 feet along St. Joseph Street
235 feet along Rolyn Place
.
I
.
EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING:
The site is bounded by Santa Anita Avenue to the east, St. Joseph
Street to the north, and Rolyn Place to the west. It is developed with a
warehouse, climbing gym, a restaurant, two office buildings, and the
existing John Vision takErOut coffee house, zoned C-MI Commercial-
Manufacturing.
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
North: Small Animal Hospital- zoned C-M
South: Domenico's Restaurant - zoned C-M
East: Building Materials Yard - zoned C-2
West: Jungle Gym Climbing Facility - zoned C-M
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
Mixed Use (Commercialllndustrial)
BACKGROUND
On September 18, 2003, a business license was issued to the applicant for a coffee
house for take-out drinks and food only with no seating allowed. This license was
approved subsequent to the applicant receiving a parking modification for a retail use
in a unit historically used for office uses. The applicant proposes to add seating for 23
patrons onsite.
Section 9275.1.45.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code allows eating establishments in the
CPD-1, C-2 or any less restrictive commercial or industrial zone, subject to a
Conditional Use Permit. Although a coffee house is a unique use, the definition of an
eating establishment most closely resembles the proposed use.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The existing take-out establishment sells specialty coffees and teas, sandwiches,
salads, and rolls, prepared in the onsite kitchen. It is similar to a .Start>ucks. coffee
shop in that many customers are there to order only a specialty drink and perhaps get a
snack. The applicant intends to better serve his customers by offering seating, as is
common in many similar coffee shops.
The eating establishment is a 1,400 sq.ft. unit located within an existing commercial
building, and 790 sq.ft_ would be used for seating area. The remaining floor area
consists of the kitchen, men's and women's restmoms, and an office area. The
proposed hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 11 :00 p.m., seven days a week.

.
Six of the proposed seats are located on the outside terrace directly adjacent to the
front of the building. The Arcadia Municipal Code allows incidental outdoor dining at all
eating establishments that have a valid conditional use permit.
Three of the interior seats are equipped with computer terminals for patrons to utilize
while onsite. The applicant intends to allow free computer use and internet access for
patrons of the eating establishment. The computer terminals do not require special
approval unless there are four or more computers located onsite.
Parkina
AJs an existing take-out only business, 8 parking spaces are required for the coffee
house. The code does not specify a parking ratio for "coffee houses,. but staff
generally uses the parking standards for restaurant uses, if the business offers food
and has seating. Using this classification, a coffee house with tables and chairs is
required to provide 10 parking spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of floor area, requiring 15 spaces
for the 1,400 sq.ft. establishment.

There are 78 parking spaces onsite. Based on the code requirements, the existing
uses require 237 parking spaces. There is an existing deficiency of 159 spaces. The
proposed coffee house would increase the parking deficiency to 166 spaces, an
increase of only seven spaces.
The coffee house is already existing as a take out only business, and the only change
to the use is the addition of 23 total seats, including outdoor seating and the three
computer terminals. Although the proposed use is considered a restaurant for parking
purposes, a coffee house is unlike a true restaurant or eating establishment. Many
customers come in only for specialty drinks and are there for only a short time.
Another unique aspect of the proposed use is that it serves the immediate
neighborhood, which is a mixed-use commerciallindustrial area. The applicant
currently experiences a high volume of walk-in business from neighboring commercial
uses during business hours. This means an unusual portion of the daytime business is
CUP 04-001

"___ 0")
.
from foot traffic generated by nearby businesses. Because of these circumstances, it is
the opinion of staff that the proposed coffee house will not result in a significant impact
upon the existing parking situation.
Other Code ReQuirements
The applicant is required to comply with all development requirements and policies
determined to be necessary by the Building Official, Fire Marshall, and Community
Development Administrator.
CEQA
Pursuant to the provIsIons of the California Environmental Quality Act, the
Development Services Department 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.
. FINDINGS
Section 9275.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code requires that for a Conditional Use
Permit to be granted, it must be found that all of the following prerequisite conditions
can be satisfied:
1. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the
public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone
or vicinity.
2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a
Conditional Use Permit is authorized.
3. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
said use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and
other features required to adjust said use with the land and uses in the
neighborhood.
4. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to
carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use.
5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan.

DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
[X] 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, 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 EIR, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1, A brief explanation is required for all answers excepl "No Impacf' answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead egency cites In the parentheses following each question,
A "No Impacr answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
Impacl simply does not apply to projects such as the one involved (e.g,. the project Is not within a
fault rupture zone), A "No Impacr answer should be explained where It Is based on project-specific
factors as well as general standards (e,g., the project will nol expose sensitive receptors 10
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-sile,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction relaled 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 Impacr entries when the delermination 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 Impacr 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.
a) Earlier Analyses Used: Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed, Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on
the earlier analysis,
c) Mitigation Measures, For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures that were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
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,
7, Supporting Information Sources, A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the. discussion.
8, The explanation of each issue should Identify:
