STAFF REPORT
Development Services Department
August 12,2003
TO: Arcadia City Planning Commission
FROM: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
By: Joseph Lambert, Assqciate Planner
SUBJECT: Application Nos. CUP 03-008 & ADR 03-008: A Conditional Use
Permit and Architectural Design Review Application to add a 24' by 40'
modular classroom, and install perimeter fencing at the Barnhart
School, 240 W. Colorado, Blvd.
SUMMARY
The subject applications were submitted by Bamhart School to add a 24' by 40'
modular classroom and install perimeter fencing for security purposes at the
Bamhart School located at 240 West Colorado Blvd. The proposed modular building
shall serve as a temporary classroom facility for the Barnhart School. The
Development Services Department is recommending approval of this application,
subject to the conditions Iist.ed in this report.
GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Bamhart School
LOCATION: 240 West Colorado Boulevard
REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Design Review to add a
24' by 40' modular classroom, and install perimeter fencing along
the northerly and southerly property lines and adjacent to Colorado
Place. The applicant's proposal also requires a modification to
provide 181 parking spaces in lieu of 184 required.
SITE AREA: 267,352 square feet (6.14 acres)
FRONTAGES: approximately 461 feet along Colorado Boulevard
approximately 601 feet along COlorado Place
e
.
e
EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING:
The project site is developed with the Santa Anita Church and
Barnhart School. The entire site is zoned R-3: Multiple Family
Residential.
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
North: Developed with multiple family and single family dwellings;
zoned R-3 and R-1 respectively
South: Developed with a motel and race track parking; zoned R-3
and R-1 .
East: Developed with single family dwellings and the Arcadia
Wash; zoned R-1
West: Developed with an office and race track parking: zoned CoO
and R-1
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial
BACKGROUND
The church and school were constructed in 1959, and since that time five conditional
use permits have been approved for the following site improvements:
- CUP 68-44: To const(lJcta two-story classroom
- CUP 77-13: For to temporary modular classrooms
- CUP 79-13: To add two new classrooms to replace the modular classrooms
- CUP 81-11: To constructfour new classrooms
- CUP 83-04: To construct a resource building/bookstore
- CUP 86-01: To construct a 14,636 square foot classroom
Design Review application No. ADR 03-008 for the proposed modular classroom and
fencing was conceptually approved by staff on June 20, 2003, and because the
school and church are conditionally permitted uses within the R-3 zone, a new
Conditional Use Permit application must be considered concurrently with the
Architectural Design Review in this case, as it is an expansion of a conditionally
approved use Le., the school. The proposed project is consistent with the General
Plan Land use designation of the project site.
PROPOSAL
Modular Classroom
The proposed modular building is 24' by 40' and shall be used as a temporary
classroom building. However, the applicant will not be expanding the current
enrollment of 360 students. The modular classroom will be used to alleviate
crowding in existing classrooms.
CUP 03-008 & ADR 03-008
August 12,2003

.
e
The proposed modular building location is adjacent to the southerly elevation of
Fellowship Hall, toward the center of the property, which is currently a part of the
parking lot. The on-site vehicular circulation will be modified to accommodate the
modular building. The applicant has worked with staff to find an appropriate location
for the modular building to minimize visual impacts associated with the proposed
structure. The modular building will not be visible from Colorado Boulevard and will
be minimally visible fOrm Colorado Place.
The proposed modular building features a wood panel exterior that will be painted to
match the existing buildings. The modular building will be fully skirted and will have
the appearance of a permanent structure. Landscaping Will be provided around the
modular building to further enhance the site.
Fencina
As part of the design review process, the applicant is requesting additional fencing
around the perimeter of the site. The applicant is proposing 7-foot tall wrought iron
or tubular steel fencing adjacent to Colorado Boulevard and Colorado Place, with
sliding gates across each driveway. Because the project site is within a residential
zone, staff is recommending a maximum height of 6 feet for the perimeter fencing
adjacent to the street, which is more compatible with the maximum fence height
allowed in residential zones. Staff is also recommending that the fencing be setback
at least 3 feet from the front property line to be consistent with residential fencing
r~gulations.
The Barnhart School borders Motel 6 to the south. Along the entire shared property
line is a masonry wall that is as low as 30n and transitions to a maximum height of
approximately 6 feet. There is an existing 13-foot tall chain link fence atop part of
the wall that shall remain. The applicant is requesting to continue a combination of
chain link and wrought iron fencing extending to Colorado Place. The fencing
proposed by the applicant would vary between 7 and 8 feet above the existing block
wall, which staff feels is too excessive. The intent of this fencing is to provide
additional security for the Barnhart School.
Staff recommends allowing the applicant to construct a 6-foot high fence on top of
the existing block wall. The total height of the wall/fence combination would vary
depending on the height of the existing block wall. Staff is also recommending that
the proposed fencing material be'wrought iron or tubular steel. It is the opinion of
staff that 6-foot high wrought iron or tubular steel fencing would be more attractive
than chain link, and the lower height would still provide adequate security for the
school.
Parkino
Pursuant to the provisions of CUP 86-01, the project site is required to maintain 184
parking spaces. Because the enrollment of the school is not expanding, no
CUP 03-008 & ADR 03-008
August 12, 2Q03
Page 3
e
.
e
additional parking is needed. However, the placement of the modular building will
eliminate approximately six parking spaces, but the applicant will re-stripe the
parking lot to accommodate a total of 181 parking spaces. Therefore, the applicant
is requesting a minor modification to provide 181 parking spaces in lieu of 184
required. All parking spaces meet the minimum dimensions set forth by the Arcadia
Municipal Code.
Master Plan
The applicant has indicated that the school is working on a 1,0 year Master Plan.
Incorporated in that Master Plan is the proposed expansion of the existing middle
school building, which would take the place of the proposed modular classroom. The
scheduled timeline for removal of the proposed modular building is five years, August
of 2008. Therefore, staff has included a condition of approval that requires the
proposed modular building to be removed in five years.
There are also several temporary storage structures on the project site. In
researching the property records, staff did not find approvals for the storage
structures. Staff recommends that as part of the Master Plan, all temporary storage
structures be removed from the site. Therefore, staff has included a condition of
approval requiring removal of all temporary storage strudures by August 2008.
Code Recuirements
All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, building safety, fire
prevention, detection, and suppression, and site design will be complied with to the
satisfaction of the Building Official, Fire Marshall, and Community Development
Administrator.
ANALYSIS
The proposed project conforms with all provisions of the Arcadia Municipal Code
except for the minor modification issue discussed in this report. The church and
school are permitted uses under the aforementioned conditional use permits, and the
proposed project is a minor expansion of a previously approved school use. If is the
opinion of staff that th~ proposed project, as conditioned, will be an appropriate
improvement to the school.
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.
CUP 03-008 & ADR 03-008

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.

environment and is, therefore, categorically exempt from CEOA per Section 15305.
