STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT January 23, 2001 TO: Arcadia City Planning Commission FROM: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator By: Kenneth Phung, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. 01-003 SUMMARY This Conditional Use Permit (C.U.P.) application was submitted by Jonathan Barnes to construct a 6,042 sq.ft. church and Sunday school located at 614-622 S. First Avenue. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the applicant's proposal, and the adoption of Resolution No. 1631 granting the requested conditional use permit subject to the conditions In this staff report. \_ GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Jonathan Barnes (Owner) LOCATION: 614-622 S. First Avenue REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit to construct a 6,042 sq.ft. church and Sunday school. SITE AREA: 22,788 sq.ft. (.52 acres) FRONTAGES: 168.80 Feet on First Avenue 135.00 Feet on Genoa Street EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is currently developed with a three unit apartment complex and a two- story office building; zoned C-2. e . I. . SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Retail shops; zoned C-2. South: Presbyterian Church; zoned C-2 & PR-3. East: Multiple-family residential; zoned PR-3. West: Offices; zoned C-2. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: The site is designated as Mixed Use. PROPOSAL The applicant's proposal involves the removal of a three-unit apartment complex and a two-story office building to construct a one-story 6,042 sq.ft. church facility. The architectural design of the church is considered "contemporary" with varying high pitch vaulted roofs with a combination of concrete blOck, stucco, aluminum, and wood trims. The overall height of the building will be approximately 38'-0" above the existing grade. The church will provide a 100-seat auditorium, children's Sunday school, and offices for church staff. The church does not have an area for a social hall or a kitchen facility. The church building fronts both First Avenue and Genoa Street, with the parking lot located to the north and east ofthe building. Parking adjacent to the multiple-family is buffered by a 5'-0" wide landscape planter. The northerly parking area is adjacent to a 20'-0" wide alley. Seven (7) parking spaces will utilize the alley for back out. Access to the parking area will be from a driveway on Genoa Street and from the alley on FirstAitenue. . The church will, have a service on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 11 :00 a.m. in conjunction with the children's Sunday school. A second service is proposed on Wednesday night from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Two to three staff members will be available during the weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 11 :00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday for church administration and visitation with church members. According to the applicant the primary function of their church is to provide service to their members and not for gathering events, such as banquets, funerals or weddings. Parking: The Municipal code requires 1 parking space for each 5 fixed seats for a church use. The proposal has 100 fixed seats, requiring 20 parking spaces. The proposed church will provide 33 on-site parking spaces, The proposed use exceeds the required number of on-site parking spaces required per the Municipal Code. CUP 01-003 January 23, 2001 Page 2 ANALYSIS . It is staffs opinion that the proposed church is an appropriate use for this property , and is compatible with the surrounding developments. Retail shops and offices are located north and west of the subject property. East of the site are multiple-family dwellings and south of the site is the Presbyterian Church. The proposed church is located in an area where similar projects have been developed. No significant traffic or noise impacts have been associated with similar uses. The Development Services Staff believes that .the, church would be an improvement to the existing site and would service their members who live in the community. Architectural Design Review: Concurrent with the consideration of this CUP application, the Planning Commission may approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the applicant's design concept plans for the proposed facility. e The Planning Services staff believes that the applicant's proposal meets the intent of the d~sign criteria set forth in the City's Architectural Design Review Regulations. The design elements for the building will provide the necessary visual breakup of flat wall areas. Also, the architectural design of the building and the exterior materials would be visually harmonious with the surrounding commercial development. The applicant shall be required to comply with all code requirements as determined necessary by the Building Official, Fire Marshall, Maintenance Service 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, weiter, 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 01-003 January 23, 2001 Page 3 ' . 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. ,. 7. .

CEQAFORMS/CHECKLIST . . e ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that isa "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. Aesthetics Agriculture Resources Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology I Soils - Hazards & Hazardous Hydrology I Water Quality Land Use / Planning Materials Noise Population / Housing Mineral Resources - Recreation Transportation I Traffic Public Services Mandatory Findings of Utilities I 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 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 project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENT /'J... IMP ACT 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 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 requited, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find thatalthouglt 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. 12/15/2000 Date CITY OF ARCADIA For Signature Kenneth Phung Printed Name CITY IR VPUB/2000200 1/546265 FORM "J'-' Page 2 of4 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 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 ruptw"e 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 Sigilificant 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 measW'es 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 IS063(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 orand 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. . CITYfRVPUB/2001l313785 FORM "f' 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. . . CITY/RVPUB/200l!313785 FORM "f' 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 church Is surrounded by commercial and residential uses. The proposal will be required to comply with local architectural standards, ilInmination limits, and will not effect scenic vista. JI. 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 Flirmland, 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 ofthe site, and is required to comply with the regulations any other jurisdictional agency with applicable environmental regulations. The proposal is for a church 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 the proj ect: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? . b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing orprojected 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? Tbe proposed cburcb facility will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, alter climatic conditions, or result in objectionable odors. Tbe development of the site will be in acc"rdance with local air quality regulations as administered by the South Coast.Air QualityManagement District. No objectionable odors bave been as.sociated with the proposed use. IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect. either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status. species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department ofFish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by .the California Department ofFish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? c) Have a substantial adver~e effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or "rdinance?
