Duarte Road. Such a permit is required because the applicant's proposal constitutes an arcade, as defined by Municipal Code Section 6115.2. . The Development Services Department is recommending approval of C.U.P. 01-006 and adoption of Resolution No. 1634 granting the requested permit subject to the conditions in this staff report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Huang, Ke (Lessee) LOCATION: 651 W. Duarte Road REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit to operate a 2,081 sq.ft. computer arcade and internet lab at the subject location. SITE AREA: 110,932 sq.ft. (2.55 acres) FRONTAGES: Approximately 389 feet on Duarte Road, and 310 feet on Arcadia Avenue. . "-"'. ...--" . ~- 1,. " . EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is developed with a 50,399 ! sq.f.t. commercial shopping center with 214 on-site parking spaces. The property is zoned C-2 & r1-4 (Gei[leral Commercial with a Height Overlay for a maximum of 4 stories, riot to exceed 45 feet). SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Mixed family residential: zoned R-3 South: Offices: zoned C-2 & H-4 East: Offices: zoned CoO West: Offices: zoned C-2 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: The site is designated as Commercial PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS The applicant's proposal is to operate a computer arcade and an internet iab from 11 :00 a.m. to 1 :00 a.m., 7 days a week. Patrons to the store can either play computer video games or research the internet for work or for school purposes on a hourly fee. The proposed business will have 30 computer stations. . Playing games on a computer is not typically associated with an arcade; However, the applicant's proposal is considered an arcade because Section 6115.2. of the Arcadia Municipal Code defines an arcade as any place of business containing four (4) or more "game machines." Such machines are defined in Section 6115.1.1. of said code as any device for amusement, including but not limited to a pinball machine or video game, which may be activated by a coin or any consideration paid for its usage. Game machines are subject to business licensing and other related regulations under Article VI of the Municipal Code. A copy of these regulations is attached. PARKING The subject shopping center was built in 1959. and currently provides 214 on-site parking spaces (175 parking spaces within the central area of the Shopping center and 39 spaces behind the retail buildings on the northerly and easterly portion of the site). The on-site parking does not comply with the current Code requirements, as summarized in the following table: . CUP 01-006 February 27, 2001 Page 2 . . ."

The required on-site parking for the martial arts studio was seventy (70) spaces. The proposed computer arcade and lab would require 59 on-site parking spaces per the Municipal code (i.e., 1 space per 35 sq.ft. of computer gaming area). The addition of the proposal would create a parking deficiency of 154 spaces. . ANALYSIS . Based upon the applicant's proposal and background information about the site, it is staff's opinion that the proposed computer arcade and lab will be an appropriate use for the commercial center. The Development Services' staff has visited the site on numerous occasions and noted that no parking problems exist. Also, staff is not aware of any complaints regarding parking problems for the site. The Police Department has address concerns with the number of computer stations and the operating hours. They believe that if the number of computer stations exceed the number requested the business could draw customers from outside the community, which could pose a potential problem because similar type businesses have become a gathering place for gangs (See attached Police Dept. Comments). The Development Services staff believes that limiting the business to thirty (30) computer stations would mitigate the impact of the business from attracting clientele from outside the City, thereby also minimizing the potential of the business from advertising to customers from outside the City. If any problems arise from the business operation the Commission could revoke the Conditional Use Permit or CUP 01-006 February 27, 2001 Page 3 . . . \.,.., #. f " amend the conditions of approval to mitigate any negative impacts to the commercial center. Bicycle Parking: " ""- Section 9275.6.3. of the SpeCial Resulations for Game Machine Arcades requires that adequate off-street parking be provided for bicycles as well as automobiles. Because the proposed game machines primarily appeal to young children (under 16 years old) there will probably be a need for bicycle parking. The applicant will need to designate an area at the front of the building to accommodate such parking. The designated bicycle parking area will be subject to staffs review and approval to ensure that it shall not obstruct the pedestrian path of travel or any existing parking space. The applicant shall be required to comply with all code requirements as determined necessary by the Building Official, Fire Marshall, Maintenance Service Director and Development Services Director. CEOA 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. RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 01-006 subject to the following conditions: 1. A modification is granted for 214 on-site parking spaces in lieu of 368 spaces .required. This approval shall not constitute an approval for a general reduction in parking for the total site. That this parking modification shall only be for the use approved by CUP 01-006 (computer arcade and lab). 2. 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 which shall include, but not limited to the following items: a. If only one of the proposed restrooms is to be disabledlhandicapped accessible, then both of the restrooms must be unisex. CUP 01-006 February 27, 2001 Page 4 . . . b. Installation of a Knox-box with keys in conformance with the Uniform Fire Code. c. Installation of an NFPA-72 fire alarm system in conformance with the Arcadia Municipal Code. 3. The applicant shall comply with the Business Licensing and Game Machine Regulations stipulated in Article VI of the Municipal Code which include, but are not limited to the following: a. Any locations where a game machine is operated shall provide personnel over twenty-one (21) years of age to maintain supervision of each game machine and patrons thereof. b. Any locations where any game machine is operated shall prohibit persons under the age of eighteen (18) years from using or playing any game machine between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday thrOugh Friday and after 10:00 p.m. daily, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. The 8:00 a.m. through 3:00 p.m. restriction shall not apply during school holidays and school vacation periods recognized by schools within the City of Arcadia. 4. The proposed business shall be limited to 30 computer stations. 5. The computers shall have a software program to block pomographic materials. 6. Bicycle racks shall be provided and installed to the satisfaction of the Community Development Administrator. 7.

Games permit Sir, It is my understanding that the owners of the V-Games, the on-line computer games business, is requesting a permit for operation. My concern with the business is the number of computer stations and the operating hours. . I understand that the location is requesting a permit for thirty stations. I believe that if the number of stations were to increase above this number, that the owners would be looking to draw people from outside the City of Arcadia. I am involved with other Police agencies in the San Gabriel Valley that have similar businesses. These businesses have become a gathering place for Asian Gangs, and require a great deal of attention to deal with the associated problems. The late hours of operation also create a problem with under age teens being out without adult supervision. Thank you, Scott Pawlicki #450 . . . .

Aesthetics - Agriculture Resources - Air Quality - Biological Resources - Cultural Resources Geology 1 Soils - Hazards & Hazardous Hydrology 1 Water Quality - Land Use 1 Planning Materials Noise Population 1 Housing - Mineral Resources Recreation Transportation 1 Traffic Public Services Mandatory Findings of Utilities 1 Service Systems 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 find that ~lthDugh 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 project proponent. A MlTIGATED 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 fmd that the proposed project MA Ybave 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 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 re'luired, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I fmd that lllthough 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 pursuantto applicabkstandards, 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. ~ -., 2/1/2001 Si{;ature - _ Date Kenneth Phune CITY OF ARCADIA Printed Name For . CITY IR VPUB/2000200 1/546265 FORM "f' Page 2 of 4 "'" . .'" 4" 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 Impact" answer is adequately suPP't!.rted 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 wil\ 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 thata 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 EIRis 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 ErR, 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 Dr refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the proj ect. 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. .

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. . . CITYIRVPUB/2001/313785 FORM"r Page 4 of 4 . . . 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 proposed computer arcade and lab will be in an existing commercial building, any exterior improvements will be required to comply with local arcbitectural standards and ilInmination limits and will not result in any of the above impacts. II. 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 Fannland, Unique Fannland, 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 oUhe 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. m. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would t.he project: a) Conflict with or obslructimplementation of the applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existiilg 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 applicable 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?

Issues: e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? The proposed computer arcade and lab and its operation wiU be subject to local air quality regulations as administered by the South Coast Air Quality Management District which should prevent any Impacts relative to items (a) andlor (b) above. There are no exterior improvements proposed that would result In alterations to air movement, moisture or temperature, or cause a change in climate.

"" . ,.' -:1' , February 20, 2001 Attn: Commi_~sioner David Olson City of Arcadia Planbing Commission 240 W. Huntington Dr:- Arcadia, CA 91007 Dear Commissioner David Olson: As concerned parents, business owners and long-time citizens of the City of Arcadia, we would like to bring to your attention a new business coming to our neighborhood. IUs an "arcade" called "V-Games" backed by Digit Century. V -Games by Digit Century is a computer arcade with 40+ existing computer stations and plans for 30 more. Its sole function is video gaming with no other business intentions. They are owned and operated by non-Arcadian residents and seeks to attract older teen-agers from other cities. With this many computer stations, V-Games will require more customers than Arcadia can provide. Thus, this arcade will be forced to rely on business attracted from outside Arcadia city limits. Examples of such a large-scale arcade can be seen in cities like Alhambra, San Gabriel, KoreaTown etc. where gang violence is evident. Through high education standards and traditional intervention, Arcadia has been fortunate to avoid the gang problems that plague our neighboring cities thus far. Families move to Arcadia for its high standard of living, and safe neighborhoods. However the advertising and business model that V -Games has proposed will change all of that. They have already commenced mass advertising throughout the San Gabriel Valley through magazines and flyers. With this kind of promotion, we fear that our Police force will be burdened with regulating outer-city teens while parents will be obliged .to worry about the element that their children are being exposed to. Digit Century has applied for a Conditional Use Permit, and a hearing is set for Tuesday, February 27111, to operate a large-scale arcade in the City of Arcadia. We urge you to be aware of the potential impact this Applicant may have on our fair city if this C. U.P. is approved. Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent matter. Sincerely, Concerned Business owners and Long Time Arcadians. . . . ~)/~'l11I \1'f ffJI:.1l\ [!-~JIff. ;b~1t ~p b\ ~l t11~) IV' Ij! /)\ fl?,. &: [ l~\ 'i\ t~\. \~ ~ ~ ~~ j';rf I'~ Ir,--:-r /~ r;, &'>It t\<> ~ ~ I ~ ,_--' ~ ;' - _/ '--- --,.- System Configuration: - Membershlp&Sevice Fees Intel Pentium III 800Mhz 128MB PC133 Memory GeForce2 GTS 32MB Video card Sound Blaster 128 Sound card ViewSonic PF790 19" Monitor (--:in) Computers on LAN -~ --nOn Pending __--~ \.... ~-. .....~ -..---..-- -- One time Membership Fees: $10 (includes 4 bonus hours) Hourly rate: Non-members: $3.00/hr $4.00/hr Lastest Games Are Avaliable Counter-Strike Quake III Star Craft Diablo II Red aleart II Della force 2 Rainbow 6 Roque spear Address: Tel: 651 c&d w.Durade rd;'-Arcadia co 91007. / --~ (626) 294-~:-- ~ I I ~- arK. ~-l/"'<'i- R.d.
