STAFF REPORT

FROM: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
By: Thomas P. U, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 2003-010 and Architectural
Design Review Application No. ADR 2003-028 for a tutoring center at 208-
212 E. Duarte Road
e SUMMARY
Conditional Use Permit 03-010 and Architectural Design Review 03-028 were submitted
by Robert H. Daggett, on behalf of Stephen Hu for a tutoring center with 85 students in
an existing 5,070 sq.ft. commercial building located at 208-212 E. Duarte Road.
The Development Services Department is recommending approval of this application
subject to the conditions in the staff report and adoption of Resolution 1700, a
resolution granting Conditional Use Permit 03-010 for a tutoring center at 208-212 E.
Duarte Road.
GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Robert H. Daggett (Architect)
LOCATION: 208-212 E. Duarte Road
REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit for a tutoring center with 85 students in an
existing 5,070 sq.ft. commercial building. The proposed hours are
3:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
on Saturday.
I LOT AREA:
21,000 sq.ft. (0.48 acre)
I
e
I
FRONTAGE: 101 feet along Duarte Road
EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING:
The subject property is improved with two commercial buildings; the
front utilized as a liquor store and the rear building is vacant; the
westerly portion of the site is zoned C-1, and the easterly portion is
zoned R-2.
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
North: Vacant buildings; zoned C-1.
South: Single-family resi.dence; zoned R-2
East: Single-family residence; zoned R-2.
West: Bank (Eastwest Bank); zoned C-1.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
Commercial
BACKGROUND
There are three units in the existing two structures on the subject property that were
constructed in 1961. The front unit is a liquor store that has been in operation since the
1970's. The two rear units have been vacant since 1999, previous uses in the rear
units include bike sales and repair shop and a taxi dispatch center.
The total square footage of the existing buildings is 6,570 sq.ft.
'PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to vacate the liquor store and remodel the buildings and
combine the two front units for a 5,070sq.ft. tutoring center with a maximum of 85
students. There are no plans to occupy the rear unit at this time. There will be five
classrooms, each with approximately 260 sq.ft. of floor area (for a total of 1,280 sq. ft.
of classroom). The applicants have indicated in their application that they will have five
(5) teachers and two (2) staff persons. The remainder of the building will be utilized as
a lobby, parents waiting area, office, toilet, and kitchen and storage areas. Based on
the maximum occupancy limits by the Building Code, each classroom could
accommodate 10-12 students at anyone time. Therefore, with five classrooms, there
could be 60 students at maximum occupancy.
The tutoring program will be offered Monday through Friday at 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The proposal also includes Saturday sessions from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This
program would serve students in grades one through nine.
A tutoring center is a permitted use in the C-1 zone with an approved conditional use
permit.

Parkinq
The current parking area is deteriorated and needs to be resurfaced. The applicant is
proposing 32 parking spaces, six (6) of which are tandem spaces. The Arcadia
Municipal Code does not permit tandem spaces and although the applicant may wish to
keep the spaces, for code purposes there are only 26 legal parking spaces on site.
Based on the current code requirements of one space per 35 sq. .ft. of classroom area,
37 parking spaces would be required for the tutoring center. In addition, the 1,500 sq.ft.
building in the rear, if occupied with an office use would require an additional 6 spaces.
This would result in an overall parking requirement of 41 spaces, and a parking
deficiency of 15 spaces.
Since the students are not of driving age, the parking would be utilized for teacher and
office parking as well as the loading and unloading of students. In staffs opinion, there
is both adequate parking and adequate circulation with access from Duarte Road to the
front and an alley to the rear that accesses onto Second Avenue.
With the parking deficiency, the rear unit should be restricted to office use only since
office uses are generally less intensive than retail and requires less parking per code.
An office use would also be more compatible with the proposed tutoring center.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW
It does not appear that there have been any improvements to the site since the original
construction of the building. The applicant is proposing to significantly remodel the
existing buildings to a style described as "Institutional Simplified Federalism". A parapet
cornice will be added to the top of the buildings along with enhancements to the
building entrances. Planters will be added adjacent to the building as well as wire grids
for climbing plants. A trash enclosure and additional landscaping will be included in the
parking area.
Planning Services conducted a design review and felt that the design is very attractive
and would greatly enhance the buildings' appearance as well as the site. The' applicant
a~so proposes to install new signs (to be reviewed under a separate Sign Design
Review process).
It is the Community Development Division's opinion that the proposed building redesign
is consistent with the City's Architectural Design Review criteria.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits, building
safety, health code compliance, parking and site design shall be complied with to the
satisfaction of the Building Official, Community Development Administrator, Fire
Marshall, and Public Works Services Director.
