Nicholson, Planning Services Manager By: Candyce Burnett, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 01-009 SUMMARY This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by Rebecca Wang to expand the hours of operation, and add the sale and consumption of beer and wine for a 1,900 sq. ft. restaurant use at 206 S. First Avenue. . The Development Services Department is recommending approval of CUP 01-009 and adoption of Resolution 1639 granting the conditional use permit subject to the conditions in this staff report, GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Rebecca Wang (tenant) LOCATION: 206 S. First Avenue REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit. to change the hours of operation and to add the sale and consumption of beer ancl wine at the subject location. SITE AREA: 6,075 sq,ft. (0,14 acres) FRONTAGES: 45 feet along First Avenue EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is developed with a 3,650 sq,ft. commercial building with 5 on-site parking spaces behind the building. Tenant improvements consist of the . . . . .. subject restaurant at 1,900 sq. ft" and a 1 ,750 sq. ft. office space, The site is zoned CBD-Central Business District. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Retail; zoned CBD South: Retail and offices; zoned CaD East: Multi-family residential; zoned R-3 West: Retail; zoned CBD GENERAL PLAN DESIGNA nON: The site is designated as Mixed Use-Commercial/Multiple Family BACKGROUND On October 28, 1997, the Planning Commission approved CUP 97-011 to operate a delicatessenlrestaurant business at 206 S, First Avenue, At that time the business was approved for indoor seating for 20 people and outdoor seating for 16 people. The hours of operation were Monday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p,m, The original restaurant use went oLit of business in July 1999, whereupon, AC Catering utilized the pre-existing CUP, and occupied the space until February of 2001. The applicant wishes to reopen a restaurant business at the subject location, and expand the hours of operation and add the sale and consumption of beer and wine, A business license was issued to the applicant in April 2001 to operate a restaurant business at the subject'location und.er the pre-existing C.U.P, 97-011. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The applicant, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to expand the hours of operation, and to add the sale and consumption of beer and wine at 206 First Avenue. Currently, the permitted hours of operation are Monday thru Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. The proposed hours are Thursday thru Tuesday, 11 :30 am to 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 11 :30 pm. PARKING Currently, there are five (5) existing parking spaces behind the subject building, Staff anticipates that such spaces will be used by the tenants and employees of the restaurant and office use, and that the customers of such businesses will either utilize street parking, or will walk from the neighboring business. CUP 01-009 May 22, 2001 Page 2 . . . . In the CBD zone, a change in use or occupancy of an existing building is eligible to utilize the shared-use parking standards. In this case, the former tenant was a restaurant/catering business. Therefore, the applicant's business requires seven (7) parking spaces and the existing 1,750 sq. ft. office use requires three (3) spaces for an on-site parking requirement of ten (10) parking spaces. Parking is not required to be provided for the incidental outdoor dining area, Based on the shared-use parking standards for the CBD zone, there is a five (5) parking space deficiency for the site. Such deficiency was approved for the previous restaurant business that occupied this space. Staff's opinion is that the parking deficiency is insignificant, because of the ample on-street parking, and that the expansion of hours of operation and consumption of beer and wine on the site should not substantially alter the type of pedestrian oriented business that was promoted and encouraged by the previous restaurant use. ANALYSIS Uses such as a restaurant requires a conditional use permit, and traffic concerns can be addressed as part of the consideration of such applications, Generally, staff does not encourage uses, which are deficient in parking, however, based upon the applicant's proposal, iUs staff's opinion that the proposed use would be appropriate for the site. The applicant shall be required to comply with all code requirements as determined necessary by the Byilding Official, Fire Marshall, Public Works Services Director and Community Development Administrator. 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 adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. CUP 01-009 May 22, 2001 Page 3 . . . . RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 01-009 subject to the following conditions: 1. The restaurant shall be maintained and operated in a manner that is consistent with the application and plans submitted and approved for CUP 01-009, 2. That the outdoor dining shall comply with the City's Incidental Outdoor Dining Regulations, 3, All City code requirements regarding accessibility, fire protection, occupancy, and safety shall be complied with to the satisfaction of Building Services and the Fire Department 4, Approval of CUP 01-009 shall. not take effect until the property owner and applicant have executed and filed the Acceptance Form available from the Development Services Department to indicate acceptance of the conditions of approval. 5, All conditions of approval shall be complied with prior to the opening of the expanded hours and sale of beer and wine, Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of CUP 01-009 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation ,of any approvals for the remedial tutoring center, FINDINGS AND MOTIONS Approval The Planning Commission should move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and adopt Resolution No. 1639: A Resolution of the Planning CommisSion of the City of Arcadia, California, granting Conditional Use Permit No. 01-009 to operate a educational learning center.

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 [ ] Agricultural Resources [ ] Air Quality [ ] Biological Resources [ ] Cultural Resources [ ] Geology I Soils [ ] Hazards & Hazardous Materials [ ] Hydrology I Water Quality [ ] Land Use I Planning [ ] Mineral Resources [ ] Noise [ ] Population I Housing [ ] Public Services [ ] Recreation [ ] Transportation I Traffic [ ] Utilities I Service Systems [ ] Mandatory Findings of Significance Form"J" -2- CEQA Checklist 4/99 . . . File No,: CUP 01-009 . DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: [Xl I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared, [l 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 revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the applicant. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. [l I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated impact" on the environment, but at feast one effect 1) 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 r~quired, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. [J I find that although the proposed 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 earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. ,."Q.~ ~~ LV Date: Mav 2. 2001 Candvce Burnett. Assistant Planner Printed Name & Title For: City of Arcadia Form IlJn -3- CEOA Checklist 4/99 . . . File No,: CUP 01-009 . -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 responses 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 Significantlmpacf' is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significantlmpacf' entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4, "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporatec!" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impacf' to a "Less Than Significantlmpacl." 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 XVIII, "Earlier Analyses," must be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEOA 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 refined 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, 7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources, uses or individuals 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 from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects i/1 whatever format is selected, 9, The explanation of each Issue should identify: ' a) The significant 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.
