The site is designateq as Commercial
BACKGROUND
On May 22, 2000, RachEl1 Chung submitted a Conditional Use Permit application for
a proposed restaurant u!:e at 639 W. Duarte Road. The request was unanimously
approved by the Plannin!~ COmmission on June 27. 2000. The proposed restaurant
site has been under renovation since its approval, and is almost ready to open.
I
Recently the applicant inquired about the on-site sale of beer and wine for their
restaurant use, and was informed by staff that their request would require a
Conditional Use Permit because this request was not included in the original
application and Municipal Code Sec. 9263.1.2. requires such a permit for any use
selling liquor within one-hundred fifty (150) feet from residentially zoned property.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
I
The applicant is seeking approval for the sale of beer and wine for their 2,094 sq.ft.
restaurant. The sale of beer and wine will be incidental to the primary business
operation. The restaurant will provide seating for 59 patrons and would be open from
11 :00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.. 7 days a week.
Although, the site's parting deficiency (214 on-site parking spaces in lieu of 384
required: see attached table) is open for review with the addition of alcohol sales,
staff believes that such :sales would not create or increase any parking deficiency,
since the request, if approved, would be incidental to the restaurant use. Staff also
believes that if the applicant wished to sell other types of alcohol such as cocktails, it
would still be appropriate as the long as the alcohol sales is incidental to the
restaurant use.
The police department h:3S ~viewed the proposai and does not have any concerns
with the proposed request. ,They also contacted the owner of the adjacent tutoring
school and noted that there is no objection.

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 indic~ted by the checklist on the follo".ring pages.
- Aesthetics
Air Quality
Agriculture Resources
Biological Resources
Cultural Resources
Geology / Soils
Hazards & Hazardous
Materials
Hydrology.! Water Quality
Land Use / Planning

- Population / Housing
- Mineral Resources
- Recreation

- Mandatory Findings of
Significance
DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency):
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
.
I fmd that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will
not bea significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to
by the project proponent. A MmGATED 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.
- I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant or "potentially significant unless
mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect I) has been adequately analyzed in an
earlier docwnent 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
IMPACTREP0RT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I fiild that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, 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.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
.
I) 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 supporti:.f\ if the referenced information
sources show that the impact siJnply 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 aswell 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 impactis potentially significant, less than significant
with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impac.t" 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 XVII, "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
l5063{ c )(3 )(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earher 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) MitigationMeasures. 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.
. CITYIRVPUB12001l313785 FORM "J"
Page 3 of4
7) Supporting Information Sources. A source list should be attached, and other sources used 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 form this checklist that are relevant to a
project's environmental effects in whatever format is 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"ifany, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

Issues:
I. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but
not limited to, tress, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
The proposal is to permit the sale of beer and wine at
an existing restaurant, any exterior improvements will
be required to comply with local architectural
standards and illumination limits and will not result in
any of the above impacts.
n. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES. In determining
whether impacts to agricultural 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), as shown
on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping
and Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contract?

Issues:
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?
The proposal is consistent with the commercial
designation in the General Plan and with the C-2
zoning of the site, and is required to comply with the
regulations any other jurisdictional agency with
applicable environmental regulations. The proposal is
for a commercial use, which is consistent with the
surrounding development.
Ill. Am QUALITY. Where available, the significance
criteria established by the applicable air quality
management or air pollution control district may be relied
