WHEREAS, on February 13, 2002, a conditional use permit application was filed by Denira Izadi, d.b.a. Subway Sandwiches & Salads, to retain the interior seating i.e., a total of five tables with fixed seating for nine patrons at her existing eating establishment (Development Services Department Case No. C.U.P. 2002-004) at property commonly known as 733-G Naomi Avenue; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on March 26, 2002, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. . NOW THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Development Services Department in the attached report, dated March 26, 2002, is true and correct. SECTION 2. This Commission finds for reasons set forth in the above . report: 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 a proper use 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 are adequate to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. 1654 . . . 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 because the subject use will continue to operate as an eating establishment within a developed commercial shopping center, 6. That the evaluation of the environmental impacts as set forth in the initial study is appropriate and that the project will have no significant effect upon the environment within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, and, when considering the project as a whole, there was no evidence before the City that the proposed project would have any potentially adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which wildlife depends, and, therefore, a Negative Declarati'on was approved. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission grants Condition Use Permit 2002-004, to retain the interior seating that currently exists within the eating establishment at 733-G Naomi Avenue, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the interior seating arrangement for dining purposes shall be limited to a maximum of 9 persons. 2. A modification be granted for 760 on-site parking spaces in lieu of 1,401, and that this approval shall not constitute an approval for the general reduction in parking for the total site - this parking modification shall only be for the use approved by C.U.P. 2002-004 (an eating establishment). 3. Approval of C.U.P. 2002-004 shall not take effect until the property owner and applicant have executed and filed the Acceptance Form that is available from the Development Services Department to indicate awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. 4, Noncompliance with the provisions and conditions of this conditional use permit shall constitute grounds for its immediate suspension or revocation of said permit. 2 1654 ~ . .

Butler, Community Development Administrator By: Corkran W. Nicholson, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. 2002-004 SUMMARY The subject of this staff report is a request for a conditional use permit (C.U.P.) to retain the interior seating Le., a total of five tables with fixed seating for nine patrons at an existing eating establishment (d.b.a. Subway Sandwiches & Salads) at 733-G Naomi Avenue. . The Development Services Department is recommending approval of C.U.P. 2002-004 subject to the conditions set forth in the staff report, and adoption of Resolution No. 1654 that grants Conditional Use Permit No. 2002-004 to retain the existing seating arrangement for dining purposes at 733-G Naomi Avenue. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Denira Izadi (owner of the subject business) LOCATION: 733-G Naomi Avenue REQUEST: A conditional use permit to retain the interior seating for dining purposes at an existing eating establishment (d.b.a. Subway Sandwiches & Salads). LOT AREA: 391,720 sq.ft. (8.99 acres) FRONTAGE: 660.00 feet along Baldwin Avenue 680.00 feet along Duarte Road 535.00 feet on Naomi Avenue EXISTING LAND USE &ZONING: . The site is developed with the Burlington Coat Factory, a Ross department store, and various retail shops; zoned C-2 and C-2 & H (along Baldwin Avenue). SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: . North: South: East: An on-site, two-story parking structure; zoned C-2 On-site parking lot; zoned C-2 The Burlington Coat Factory and general commercial uses; zoned C-2 & H Vons Pavilions and retail'shops; zoned C-2 West: GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: The site is designated as Commercial. BACKGROUND The majority of the buildings that exist on the site were originally constructed in 1964. Hinshaws was the site's major department store at that time. In 1984 the on-site parking areas were redesigned to provide 760 spaces. Such spaces currently exist on the site, and do not comply with the current Code requirement of 1,401 spaces for the center (including the subject business). . The subject business has been at the same location since 1987. At that time a conditional use permit was not required since the food service was for take-out purposes only. . Approximately 10 months ago the applicant purchased' the business, which included the current seating arrangement Le., a total of five tables with fixed seating for nine patrons. Until recently, the applicant was not aware that having such seating required a conditional use permit. Staff informed the applicant of the requirement when she made an inquiry about having an outdoor dining area. The applicant wishes to retain the existing seating for dining purposes. PROPOSAL The applicant is requestin9 a conditional use permit to retain the interior seating that currently exists within the eating establishment at 733-G Naomi Avenue (d.b.a. Subway Sandwiches & Salads). Currently, the business occupies a retail space of approximately 900 sq. ft., which is within a 276,905 sq.ft. shopping center, as shown on the attached aerial photo. Business hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week. PARKING Eating establishments require 20 parking spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of gross floor area. Based upon this requirement the subject business requires 18 spaces; . however, the existing on-site parking ratio of 2.745 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of C.U.P. 2002-004 March 26, 2002 Page 2 . . . gross retail floor area results in a net parking space requirement of 16 spaces for the use. Staff has made random vehicle counts on the site, and noted a peak parking demand of 277 spaces (count occurred at 1 :30 p.m. on March 1, 2002), which in staffs opinion indicates that there has been ample on-site parking for the applicant's business, since the site currently provides 760 parking spaces. Also, there is a reciprocal easement agreement with the neighboring Vons Pavilions center to utilize the parking areas in common. The Vons' site provides 428 parking spaces. ANALYSIS Generally staff does not encourage uses that are deficient in parking; however, the subject business has apparently been active for a substantial period of time, and staff has not been advised of any parkin9problems in reference to this use. Staff feels that the requested seating is minimal, and that the eating establishment is an appropriate use for the center, provided that the operation of such use remains consistent With this application. The applicant shall be reqUired to comply with all code requirements as determined necessary by the Building Official, Fire Marshall, Public Works Services Director, and'the Development Services Director. CEQA Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, 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 an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2002-004 subject to the fOllowing conditions: 1. That the interior seating arrangement for dining purposes shall be limited to a maximum of 9 persons. 2. A modification be granted for 760 on-site parking spaces in lieu of 1,401, and that this approval shall not constitute an approval for the general reduction in C.U.P.2002-004 March 26. 2002 Page 3 . . . parking for the total site - this parking modification shall only be for the use approved by C.U.P. 2002-004 (an eating establishment). 3. Approval of C.U.P. 2002-004 shall not take effect until the property owner and applicant have executed and filed the Acceptance Form that is available from the Development Services Department to indicate awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. 4. Noncompliance with the provisions and conditions of this conditional use permit shall constitute grounds for its immediate suspension or revocation of said permit. FINDINGS AND MOTIONS Approval The Planning Commission should move to adopt the Negative Declaration, and approve C.U.P. 2002-004 by adopting Resolution No. 1654 that grants Conditional Use Permit 2002-004 to retain the interior seating that currently exists within the eating establishment at 733-G Naomi Avenue (d.b.a. Subway Sandwiches & Salads). Denial If the Planning Commission intends to deny this conditional use permit application, the Commission should move for denial and direct staff to prepare a resolution which incorporates the Commission's decision and specific findings. If any Planning Commissioner, or other interested party has any questions regarding this application prior to the scheduled public hearing, please contact Corkran W.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. - Aesthetics Agriculture.Resources - Air Quality Biological Resources - Cultural Resources Geology /Soils - Hazards & Hazardous Hydrology / Water Quality Land Use f Planning Materials Noise Population f Housing - Mineral Resources - Recreation Transportation / Traffic Public Services Utilities f Service Systems Mandatory Findings of Significance DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency): On the basis of this initial evaluation: w1' fmd that the proposed project COULD NOT have a'significant effect on the environment, and a NEGA TIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [] I fmd that although the proposed project could have a significant effecton the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [] I fmd that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONME~ AL IMPACT REPORT is required. o I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect I) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the. effects that remain to be addressed. [] I fmd that although the pI:oposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, but because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlc' EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or m'ligation m\Deasur~~~~ :r[' P::d. upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside 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 as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant 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 determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) ''Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With 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 XV1I, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: 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, which were incorporated or refmed 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. CITY IR VPUB12002l3 13785 FORM ''r' Page 3 of4 . . . 7) Supporting Information Sources. A source list should be attached, and. other sources used orindividuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions form this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever fonnaHs selected. 9) 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 significance.
