The proposal submitted for Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 2003-0.06 has
reduced the size of the proposed restaurant from 4,400 square feet to 3,300 square
feet, and reduced the dining capacity from 82 people to 60 people. By reducing the size
of the proposed restaurant by 1,100 square feet, the expanded parking lot proposed In
conjunction with the neW restaurant will provide the 64 parking spaces and one loading
zone required for the new restaurant and the eXisting bank.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
the proposal Is to build a new twa-story, 3,300 square foot restaurant with seating for
60 diners, and includes beer and win.e service with meals. The proposal will remove the
large overhang that covers the former entry area on the south side of the bank to make
room for the new restaurant. A new courtyard with a water feature will be provided
between the two buildings. The parking lot will be redesigned and expanded to provide
a total of 64 on-site parKing spaces and one loading zone. The proposal will result In a
total of approximately 8,430 square feet of floor area (5,130 square'foot bank and 3,300
square foot restaurant) that will result in a f1oor-area-ratio (FAR) of approximately 23
percent of the site (8,430 sq. ft. /37,100 sq. ft. = 22.7%). A Conditional Use Permit is
required for a restaurant by Arcadia Municipal Code (AMC) Section 9275.1.53.5. The
proposed hours for the restaurant are as follows:
Mondays - Fridays
Saturdays and Sundays
11 :00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
10:00 a.rri. to 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
This proposal Includes the required' number of parking spaces for both the proposed
restaurant (10 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.) and the existing bank (6 spaces per 1,000 sq.
ft.). TherefOre, staff does not think it is necessary to restrict the business hours except
as required for walk-in businesses on property that is within 150 feet of residentially
zoned property (AMC Secs. 9263.1.2 and 9275.1.53.7). These restrictions are that
such businesses not be open more than 16 hours per day or between 12:00 midnight
and 6:00 a.m.
The proposed parking plan requires the following two Parking Modifications:
A. 64 parking spaces with the five (5) spaces closest to the automatic-teller-machines
(ATMs) to be labeled, "BANK CUSTOMERS ONLY" in lieu of all 64 spaces to be
shared without restrictions by'the bank and restaurant (AMC Secs, 9269.4 and
9269.5)
B. 55-degree angled, 9-foot wide by 18-foot deep parking stalls with 14'-8" wide one-
way aisles in accordance with the Recommended Guidelines for Parking
Geometries per the Parking Consultants Council, National Parking Association in
lieu of the City's standards for commercial parking (i.e., 45- or 60-degree angled, 9-
foot wide by 20-foot deep parking stalls with, respectiVely, 15'-8" wide or 20'-0"
wide, one-way aisles - AMC Sec. 9269.7.1)

Parkino Modification 'A'
This proposal does not request a Modification for a parking space deficiency. This
Modification request is to allow the five (5) spaces closest to the ATMs to be labeled.for
"BANK CUSTOMERS ONLY". this will proVide some on-site parking for the ATM users
at all hours, which is needed because of the high demand for curbside parking on
Arcadia Avenue.
.
. ,
The existing bank can be especially busy during paydays and on weekday evenings Just
before their 6:00 p.m. closing time. Also, the surrounding uses (I.e., bowling alley,
supermarket, and Baldwin Plaza) and their cumulative parking deficiencies, which are
as follows, are causing parking problems at the subject property:

The lack of a physical barrier between the subject property and the surrounding uses
allows for the uninten!iled sharing of the parking lots. Recently, when the supermarket
opened to the east of the subject property, the bank hired a security guard to monitor
their parking lot during their business hours. This has alleviated th~ bank's parking ..
problem, but In the evenings after the bank closes, patrons of the ~t.irrounding uses still .
use the bank's Parking lot ,To reduce ,~nd dl~CClUrE!ge the use of the .parking lot by
customers of other businesses in the area, this proposal, Includes a six-foot tall
decorative wrought-iron fence (with landscapinQ) along the south and east property
lines of the subject property. Staff is not recommending that the ,restaurant hire a
security guard to monitor the parking lot because this proposal p~ovides for the ,required
number of parking spaces.
In preparing the prior- Conditional Use Permit Appli,catipn (No. C,UP 2003.,(03) the
applicant had an independent parking consultant (Walker Parking Consultants) survey
of the use of the existing bank par~lng lot during the week of February 24, 2003. The
r!'lsults are attached. The survey lndlcates that during the proposed lunch hours, there'
was an average of 16 parking spaces available. This indicates that the proposed 64-
space parking lot will adequately serve the proposed restaurant and the existing bank.
Parkino Lot Desion .." Parkinc Modification 'B'
The proposed parking lot Is not designed in accordance with the City's standards for
'commercial parking (AMC Sec., 9269.7.1)., Rather, the desig!:l Is based on the
Recommended Guidelines for Parking Geometries per the Parking Consultants Council,
National Parking Association. A copy of these standards Is attached, and they were

suggested by the City's Traffip Engineer as a way to increase the number of parking
spaces thatcol:lld be provided on this site without having to use compact spaces.
The' proposed parking lot utilizes 55-degree angled, 9-foot wide by 18-foot deep parking
stalls with 14'-8" wide one-way aisles in lieu of either 45- or 60-degree angled. 9-foot
wide by 20-foot deep parking stalls with, respectively, 15'-8" wide or 20'-0" wide, one-
way aisles as stipulated by the City;s parking standards for..commercial uses.
The parking lot for this proposal includes a 10' x 25' loading zone as required by Arcadia
Municipal Code Section 9269.10 for a use involving the receipt or distribution by
vehicles of materials or merchandise incidental to carrying on its activity. The loading
zone is required because restaurants receive food and supplies from wholesalers.
The applicant has stated that in' addition to receiving food and supplies from
wholesalers, .the kitchen In the proposed restaurant will be used to pre-prepare large
batches of certain dishes to be served at his existing Din Tal Fung' Restaurant in the
. Baldwin Plaza adjacent to the subject property, and eventually for delivery to other new
restaurants that the applicant hopes to establish in other communities. However, the
pre-preparing of food for delivery to other restauran~s is not an allowed use in the C-2,
General Commercial Zone. The proposed restaurant is not to be a "food factory".
Because there is an apartment complex nearby to the northeast across Arcadia
. Avenue, staff thinks that delivery activities should not occur late at night, or early in the
morning. Staff recommends that deliveries be prohibited from 11 :00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
Architectural Desion Review
Concurrent with the consideration of the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning
Commission may approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the applicanfs
architectural design concept plans.
This proposal does not significantly alter the architectural design of the building that was
proposed under Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 2003-003. Narrowing of
the building behind the round feature that will face Baldwin Avenue has reduced the size
of the proposed restaurant by1, 1 00 square feet, and reduced the dining capacity from
82 people to 60 people. The narrowing of the building also results in a wider courtyard
between the proposed restaurant and the existing bank.
The proposed design is contemporary. The building is shaped to complement the
adjacent buildings. The boxy shape of the restaurant is based on the shape of the
existing bank building to the north, and a round feature is included on the Baldwin
Avenue side of the restaurant to complement the round towers at the Baldwin Plaza to
the south. The round feature that accents the Baldwin Avenue elevation is intended to
resemble the container used to steam and serve dumplings; the applicant's specialty.

The east Eilevation, which' Will face the parking lot, ana which is anticipated to be the
primary entrance to the restaurant, is accented by'a'mOdemorientallahterh.;Jike feature
through which the customers will enter the restaurant. The east side of the building' also
has large recesses to resemble the' shape of the bank building. '
The existini:llarge overhang that coverS the former entry area ,on thesoutl1' side of the
bank will be removed..to make room for the restaurant and new courtyard. A water
feature will be the focus of the courtyard. The remodeled south elevation of the bank
building and the actual courtyard'and water feature designs will be subject to sEiparate
Architectural Design Reviews."
The restaurant will be set back,a minimum offive feet'from'thEi.Baldwin Avenue property
line to provide space for landscaping. There will be minimal setback along "the southerly .
property line, which is adjacent to the rear of the northerly Baldwin'Plaza Duilding;This
will screen the rear service area of that building; TIle proposed parking lot will be
landscaped in accordance with the City's regulations for parking lot landscaping, and
staff recommends that the final ,landscaping plans be prepared With consultation from
one of the City's L:andscape Archite'cts.
,"
The proposed parking lot includes decorative pavers at the driveway entries (this Was
inadvertentiy omitted from the easterly driveway) and atthe pedestrian point of access.
{' .
The signs shown on the proposed"restaurant plans are conceptual. The actual sign
designs are required to be approved through separate design,reviews, and will be
required to comply with the City's Sign Regulations and Architectural Design Guidelines.
Staffs opinion is that the design of the proposed restaurant provides substantial
architectural relief, will be visually .harmoniouswith surrounding developments, and finds
the proposed architectural design concept to be in compliance with the City's
Architectural Design Review Regulations. Colors and materials sample boards are
available for review.
Other Code Reouirements
All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities; occupancy limits, building
safety, fire prevention, detection, suppression, emergency access, transportation and
parking provisions, water supply and facilities, trash 'reduction and recycling
requirements, and NPDES measures shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the
Building Official. Fire Marshall, Public Works Services Director and Development
Services Director. In addition, the restaurant will have to COmply with the County
Environmental Health Department's regulations for restaurants, and the City's'
requirements for the posting of Health Department inspection grades and results.
Compliance with these requirements will be determined by having fully detailed
construction and tenant improvement plans submitted for plan check review and
approval.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1, A brief eicplanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the infonnation sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each
question, A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported If the referencedinfonnation 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 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 wen as direct, and construction related as well as
operationa/lmpacts.
3, "Potentially Significent 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 detennination
Is made, an Environmental Impact Report Is required,
4, "Potentially Significant Unless ~ltigatlon Incorporated" app.lies 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" miilY 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
Declaratlon.{Section 15063(c)(3)(P)). 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 10 Incorporale Inlo the checkffst, references 10 lnfonnallon sources
for potential impacts (e.g" general plans, zoning ordinances), Reference to a previously prepared or
outside document should, where approprlata, Include a reference to the pege or pages where the
statement is substantiated,
7. Supporting Infonnation Sources. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
indIviduals contacted should be cltad In"the discussion.
8. The explanation of each Issue shl;lUld identify:
a) The significance criteria or threshol~, If any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) The mitigation measure Identified, If any, to reduce the Impact to less than significant.

The project will result In an increase in vehIcle trips to the site, but these trips should not exceed the capacity of
the adjacent streets and nearby intarsections. Thare are no roads or highways under the City of ArcadIa's
jurisdiction for which LOS standards have been established by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Trensportation Agency. The project will not create 'any new traffic hazards or Incompatible uses. The project will
comply with all required. emergency access requirements,
The proposed number of parl<lng spaces complies with the City's requirements for the proposed combination of
uses (I.e., a restaurent and a bank) even though the City's parking regulations do not include any adjustment for
shared-parking by multiple uses. A parkIng study by an Indapendent consultant indicates that tha proposed
number of parking spaces will be adequate, The project will not conflict wIth any alternative trensporetion policies,
plans or programs,

BACKGROUND
This Conditional Use Permit Application is a reVISion to the restaurant that was
proposed under Application No. CUP 2003-003, That proposElI was for a 4,400 square
foot restaurant, and required a Parking Modification for 65 spaces in lieu of 75 required
for the combination of the proposed restaurant and the existing bank,
The Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 2003-003, but as
a condition of approval, the business hours are limited to dinner service only, The
lunchtime business hours were excluded because of inadequate parking, It was
determined that the requested parking space deficiency would worsen the existing
parking problems in the area.
The applicant appealed to the City Council the condition of approval that excludes
lunchtime hours. The City Council denied the appeal and sustained the Planning
Commission's conditional approval.

The proposal submittec;l for Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 2003-0.06 has
reduced the size of the proposed restaurant from 4,400 square feet to 3,300 square
feet, and reduced the dining capacity from 82 people to 60 people, By reducing the size
of the proposed restaurant by 1,100 square feet, the expanded parking lot proposed in
conjunction with the new restaurant will provide the 64 parking spaces and one loading
zone required for the new restaurant and the existing bank,
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The proposal is to build a new two-story, 3,300 square foot restaurant with seating for
60 diners, and includes beer and wine service with meals. The proposal will remove the
large overhang that covers the former entry area on the south side of the bank to make
room for the new restaurant. A new courtyard with a water feature will be provided
between the two buildings, The parking lot will be redesigned and expanded to provide
a total of 64 on-site parking spaces and one loading zone. The proposal will result in a
total of approximately 8,430 square feet of floor area (5,130 square foot bank and 3,300
square foot restaurant) that will result in a fIoor-area-ratlo (FAR) of approximately 23
percent of the site (8,430 sq, ft,/37,100 sq, f1. = 22,7%), A Conditional Use Permit is
required for a restaurant by Arcadia Municipal Code (AMC) Section 9275.1.53.5, The
proposed hours for the restaurant are as follows:
.
Mondays - Fridays
Saturdays and Sundays
11 :00 a.m. to 2:30 p,m, and 5:00 p,m, to 10:00 p.m.
10:00 a,m, 102:30 p.m. and 5:00 p,m, to 10:00 p,m,
This proposal includes the required number of parking spaces for both the proposed
restaurant (10-spaces per 1,000 sq, ft,) and the existing bank (6 spaces per 1,000 sq.
ft,), Therefore, staff does not think it is necessary to restrict the business hours except
as required for walk-in businesses on property that is within 150 feet of residentially
zoned property (AMC Sees. 9263.1,2 and 9275.1,53.7), These restrictions are that
such businesses not be open more than 16 hours per day or between 12:00 midnight
and 6:00 a,m.
The proposed parking plan requires the following two Parking Modifications:
A. 64 parking spaces with the five (5) spaces closest to the automatic-teller-machines
(ATMs) to be labeled, "BANK CUSTOMERS ONLY" in lieu of all 64 spaces to be
shared without restrictions by the bank and restaurant (AMC Sees. 9269.4 and
9269.5)
B. 55-degree angled, 9-foot wide by 18-foot deep parking stalls with 14'-8" wide one-
way aisles in accordance with the Recommended Guidelines for Parking
Geometries per the Parking Consultants Council, National Parking Association in
lieu of the City's standards for commercial parking (I.e., 45- or 60-degree angled, 9-
foot wide by 20-foot deep parking stalls with, respectively, 15'-8" wide or 20'-0"
wide, one-way aisles - AMC See, 9269,7,1)

Parkino Modification 'A'
This proposal does not request a Modification for a parking space deficiency, This
Modification request is to allow the five (5) spaces closest to the ATMs to be labeled for
"BANK CUSTOMERS ONLY". This will provide some on-site parking for the ATM users
at all hours, which is needed because of the high demand for curbside parking on
Arcadia Avenue,
The existing bank can be especially busy during paydays and on weekday evenings just
before their 6:00 p,m. closing time, Also, the surrounding uses (Le" bowling alley,
supermarket, and Baldwin Plaza) and their cumulative parking deficiencies, which are
as follows, are causing parking problems at the subject property:

Supermarket and shopping center
Baldwin Plaza shoDDino center

The lack of a physical barrier between the subject property and the surrounding uses
allows for the unintended sharing of the parking lots. Recently, when the supermarket
opened to the east of the subject property, the bank hired a security guard to monitor
their parking lot during their business hours. This has alleviated thl'l bank's parking
problem, but in the evenings after the bank closes, patrons of the surrounding uses still
use the bank's parking lot. To reduce and discourage the use of the parking lot by
customers of other businesses in the area, this proposal. includes a six-foot tall
decorative wrought-iron fence (with landscaping) along the south and east property
lines of the subject property, Staff is not recommending that the restaurant hire a
security guard to monitor the parking lot because this proposal provides for the required
number of parking spaces,
In preparing the prior Conditional Use Permit Application (No. CUP 2003-003) the
applicant had an independent parking consultant (Walker Parking Consultants) survey
of the use of the existing bank parking lot during the week of February 24, 2003. The
results are attached. The survey indicates that during the proposed lunch hours, there
was an average of 16 parking spaces available. This indicates that the proposed 64-
space parking lot will adequately serve the proposed restaurant and the existing bank.
Parkino Lot Desion - Parkino Modification 'B'
The proposed parking lot is not designed in accordance with the City's standards for
commercial parking (AMC Sec., 9269,7,1), Rather, the design is based on the
Recommended Guidelines for Parking Geometries per the Parking Consultants Council,
National Parking Association. A copy of these standards is attached, and they were
CUP 2003-006 and ADR 2002-041
June 10. 2003
Page 4
.
suggested by the City's Traffic Engineer as a way to increase the number of parking
spaces that could be provided on this site without having to use compact spaces.
The proposed parking lot utilizes 55-degree angled, 9-foot wide by 18-foot deep parking
stalls with 14'-8" wide one-way aisles in lieu of either 45- or 60-degree angled, 9-foot
wide by 20-foot deep parking stalls with, respectively, 15'-8" wide or 20'-0" wide, one-
way aisles as stipulated by the City's parking standards for commercial uses.
The parking lot for this proposal includes a 10' x 25' loading zone as required by Arcadia
Municipal Code Section 9269.10 for a use involving the receipt or distribution by
vehicles of materials or merchandise incidental to carrying on its activity, The loading
zone is required because restaurants receive food and supplies from wholesalers.
The applicant has stated that in addition to receiving food and supplies from
wholesalers, the kitchen in the proposed restaurant will be used to pre-prepare large
batches of certain dishes to be served at his existing Din Tai Fung Restaurant in the
. Baldwin Plaza adjacent to the subject property, and eventually for delivery to other new
restaurants that the applicant hopes to establish in other communities, However, the
pre-preparing of food for delivery to other restaurants is not an allowed use in the C-2,
General Commercial lone, The proposed restaurant is not to be a "food factory",
Because there is an apartment complex nearby to the northeast across Arcadia
Avenue, staff thinks that delivery activities should not occur late at night, or early in the
morning, Staff recommends that deliveries be prohibited from 11 :00 p,m, to 7:00 a,m.
.
Architectural Desion Review
Concurrent with the consideration of the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning
Commission may approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the applicant's
architectural design concept plans,
This proposal does not significantly alter the architectural design of the building that was
proposed under Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 2003-003, Narrowing of
the building behind the round feature that will face Baldwin Avenue has reduced the size
of the proposed restaurant by1 ,100 square feet, and reduced the dining capacity from
82 people to 60 people. The narrowing of the building also results in a wider courtyard
between the proposed restaurant and the existing bank,
The proposed design is contemporary. The building is shaped to .complement the
adjacent buildings, The boxy shape of the restaurant is based on the shape of the
existing bank building to the north, and a round feature is included on the Baldwin
Avenue side of the restaurant to complement the round towers at the Baldwin Plaza to
the south. The round feature that accents the Baldwin Avenue elevation is intended to
resemble the container used to steam and serve dumplings; the applicant's specialty,
.
CUP 2003-006 and ADR 2002-041
June 10, 2003
Page 5
.
The east elevation, which will face the parking lot, and which is anticipated to be the
primary entrance to the restaurant, is accented by a modern oriental lantem-Iike feature
through which the customers will enter the restaurant. The east side of the building also
has large recesses to resemble the shape of the bank building,
The existing large overhang that covers the former entry area on the south side of the
bank will be removed to make room for the restaurant and new courtyard, A water
feature will be the focus of the courtyard. The remodeled south elevation of the bank
building and the actual courtyard and water feature designs will be subject to separate
Architectural Design Reviews.
The restaurant will be set back a minimum of five feet from the Baldwin Avenue property
line to provide space for landscaping, There will be minimal setback along the southerly
property line, which is adjacent to the rear of the northerly Baldwin Plaza building. This
will screen the rear service area of that building, The proposed parking lot will be
landscaped in accordance with the City's regulations for parking lot landscaping, and
staff recommends that the final landscaping plans be prepared with consultation from
one of the City's Landscape Architects.
The proposed parking lot includes decorative pavers at the driveway entries (this was
inadvertently omitted from the easterly driveway) and at the pedestrian point of access,
.
The signs shown on the proposed restaurant plans are conceptual. The actual sign
designs are required to be approved through separate design reviews, and will be
required to comply with the City's Sign RegUlations and Architectural Design Guidelines.
Staffs opinion is that the design of the proposed restaurant provides substantial
architectural relief, will be visually harmonious with surrounding developments, and finds
the proposed architectural design concept to be in compliance with the City's
Architectural Design Review Regulations. Colors and materials sample boards are
available for review,
Other Code Reauirements
All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits, building
safety, fire prevention, detection, suppression, emergency access, transportation and
parking provisions, water supply and facilities, trash reduction and recycling
requirements, and NPDES measures shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the
Building Official, Fire Marshall, Public Works Services Director and Development
Services Director. In addition, the restaurant will have to comply with the County
Environmental Health Department's regulations for restaurants, and the City's
requirements for the posting of Health Department inspection grades and results.
Compliance with these requirements will be determined by having fully detailed
construction and tenant improvement plans submitted for plan check review and
approval.

Re: Parking Survey of the Wells Fargo Lot
103B, South Baldwin Boulevard, Arcadia
Walker Project # 37-9000.00
Dear Mr, Kasama:
Walker Parking Consultants is pleased to present the results of our porking survey conducted at
the above referenced address.
The survey was conducted from Monday, February 24 through Saturday, March T from 11 :00
a.m. to 2:30.P,M. with the exception of Saturday when we were instructed to begin our counts at
10:30a,m, We counted occupied parking spaces every half hour 011 each of the six doys, The
results ore provided in the enclosed Table 1.
A Wells Forgo security guard was statiolled on the lot at all times during the survey to discourage
non-bank customers from parking, However, we did notice that on a few occasions customers
parked for the bank, and then visited the bowling alley.
If you h.ave any questions regarding our survey, please do not hesitate to call me,
Sincerely,
w~ V...:.. T ~.r,

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.
[] J 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 Impacf' 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 except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the infonnation sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each
question, A "No Impacf answer is adequately supported if the referenced Infonnation 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 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 related 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 Impact" entries when the detenninatlon
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 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" may be cross-referenced),
5, Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program Environmental Impact Report,
or other CECA 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,' descrlbe the mitigation measures that were incorporated or reflned from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. .
6. Lead agencfes are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist, references to Infonnation 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 Infonnatlon 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:
a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.

The proposed restaurant will be between eXisting commerclel buildings and the parking lot will be in the same area
as an exIsting /Jarklng lot. Ughtlng is regulated by Code, This project will not have any of the above Impacts.
2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES - In determining whether Impacts to agriculture resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment
Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in asseSSing impacts
on agriculture and farmland. Would the project:
.
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance (Farmland) to non-agriCUltural use? (The
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program In the California
Resources Agency to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson
Act contract?
c) Involve other changes In the existing environment which, due to
their location or nature, could result In conversion of Farmland to
non-agricultural use?
There are no agriculture resources at or near the project site.

3, AIR QUALITY - Where available, the slgniflcanc;:e criteria established by the applicable air quality management or
air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
.
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air
quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an
existing or projected air quality violation?
c) Result In a cumulatively considerable net Increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an
appllceble federal or state ambient air quality standard (including
releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for
ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
