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) CUP 2003-006 and ADR 2002-041 June 10, 2003 Page 3 ;<-.

"". .,l.d:-.\..l: .' \:' ......." _. ,~ !-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: Use Bowling Alley and Cocktail Lounge Supermarket and shopping center Baldwin Plaza shoooino center Totals Parking ReQuired 230 373 150 753 Parking Provided 95, 195 135 425 Parking Deficiencv 135 178 , 15 328 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 CUP 2003-006 and,ADR 2002-041 June 10, 2003 Page 4 . -,\'. . e . .,.~;;- .,' ~\.' . I . ~. ,~~~~. .~~. :! :;~ '~;;::~..-'-. ~~7~-;J:~;~ ~[~~'~.~,:'i~. ,~ ~:.,' r.. . 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.

File No. CUP 2003-006 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.

SUMMARY Conditional Use Permit Application No, CUP 2003-006 and Architectural Design Review No. ADR 2002-041 are to build and operate a two-story, 3,300 square foot restaurant with a dining capacity of 60 people, with beer and wine service with meals at 1038 S, Baldwin Avenue. The new restaurant would be next door to the Wells Fargo Bank at Baldwin Avenue and Arcadia Avenue, This Conditional Use Permit Application is a revision to the restaurant that was proposed under Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 2003-003. This revised proposal 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 squ,,!re 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. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of Conditional Use Permit Application No, CUP 2003-006 and Architectural Design Review No, ADR 2002- 041 , subject to the conditions listed in this report, GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Mr, Frank Yang LOCATION: 1038 S, Baldwin Avenue REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit, Architectural Design Review, and Parking Modifications to build and operate a two-story, 3,300 square foot restaurant with a dining capacity of 60 people, with beer and wine service with meals, . . . SITE AREA: Approximately 37,100 square feet (0,85 acre) STREET FRONTAGES: Approximately 111 feet along S, Baldwin Avenue Approximately 338 feet along Arcadia Avenue EXISTING LAND USE: The site is developed with a 5,130 square foot bank and 35 on-site parking spaces. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial with a maximum f1oor-area-ratio (FAR) of 50 percent ZONING DESIGNATION: C-2 - General Commercial SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: North: South: East: West: Bowling Alley and Cocktail Lounge - zoned C-2 Baldwin Plaza commercial center - zoned C-2 Supermarket and shopping center - zoned C-2 Neighborhood commercial center - zoned C-2 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. CUP 2003-006 and ADR 2002-041 June 10, 2003 Page 2 . 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) . CUP 2003-006 and ADR 2002-041 June 10, 2003 Page 3 . . . 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: Use Bowling Alley and Cocktail Lounge Supermarket and shopping center Baldwin Plaza shoDDino center Totals Parking Reouired 230 373 150 753 Parking Deficiencv 135 178 15 328 Parking Provided 95 195 135 425 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. . CUP 2003-006 and ADR 2002-041 June 10, 2003 Page 6 . . . 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. CEQA Pursuant to the provisions of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the Development Services Department has 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.
