Butler, Community Development Administrator By: William E. Stokes, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. 95-009 1900 S. Santa Anita Ave. SUMMARY This Conditional Use Permit was filed by the, Arcadia Christian School for an expansion of their faclities to include the usage of an existing building for classroom purposes. The Development Services Department is recommending approval subject to the information contained in the staff report. . GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Arcadia Christian School LOCATION: 19005. Second Ave. REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of an existing school (grades K through 8) which includes an existing building to be used as a classroom, per Section 9275.1.35. of the Municipal Code for the operation of schools. EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING The site is currently developed with a school and is zoned R-1. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING .

GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION Residential BACKGROUND The subject site has maintained a school for approximately 45 + / - years. A Conditional Use Permit was never recorded for said use at the site. The original school name was the Santa Anita School. According to the applicant, for the last 15 years the school has been leased from the Arcadia Unified School District under the name of the Arcadia Christian School (a private entity). PROPOSAL . The CU.P. process was initiated by the school's proposal to use an existing building for art classes. The subject building, named the "youth hut," has been used by private/non- school entities such as the Boy Scouts of America, the Cub Scouts and Brownies to conduct meetings after school hours. The Development Services Department sees the annexation of the youth hut for school purposes as an expansion of the existing facilities. Therefore the filing of a C U.P. was deemed a requirement. The school will be conducting art classes for students within the youth hut/ classroom (during regular school hours) approximately 5 hours a day, Monday through Friday. The maximum number of students anticipated at anyone time is approximately 20 to 30. The existing youth hut/proposed classroom is approximately 960 square feet with male and female lavatories currently under construction. According to the applicant, the adjacent room (designated as a storage facility on the submitted site plan) will not be a part of the proposed classroom expansion. ANALYSIS By staff's observation, the youth hut building, located in an uninhabited rear comer of the school grounds, is not in the best condition at this time. The proposed exterior and interior re-model (re-roof, electrical upgrade and bathroom additions) will be an improvement to an otherwise substandard condition. .. Because the school and youth hut buildings are pre-existing, staff does not feel that the subject classroom expansion will result in any negative impact upon the property. The request involves a minimal amount of square footage and therfore, the normal or existing daily operation of the school should go unchanged. CU.P. 95-009 November 14, 1995 Page 2 . Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Community Development Division 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, rninerals, 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 Planning Division recommends approval of C.U.P. 95-009 subject to the following conditions: 1. The maximum number of students within the youth hut shall not exceed 50 at any one time. If the proposed number of students is to be increased beyond 50 persons, two exits shall be maintained per City of Arcadia Fire Department requirements. .. 2. Building Code compliance and conditions of approval must be met to the complete satisfaction of the Building Division. 3. Fire safety shall be provided to the complete satisfaction of the Fire Department. 4. That C.U.P. 95-009 shall not take effect until the owner and applicant have executed an Acceptance Form (available at the Planning Division) indicating awareness and acceptance of all conditions of approval. 5. Noncompliance with the provisions and conditions of this Conditional Use permit shall constitute grounds for the immediate suspension or revocation of said Permit. FINDINGS AND MOTIONS Approval . If the Planning Commission intends to take action to approve this project, the Commission should move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and adopt resolution 1529 incorporating the specific findings and conditions of approval set forth in the staff report (or as modified by the Commission). C.U.P, 95-009 November 14, 1995 Page 3 . Denial If the Planning Commission intends to take. action to deny this project, the Commission should move to deny and direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution incorporating the Commission's decision and findings in support of that decision.

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 the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project.

An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. o 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 all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. 0 1v!?8i/ q - 20 - 9S Signature Date W E.. 01-0 ke:s Printed Name For -3- E.I.R. Checklist 7/95 .. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: . . 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the informationsources 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. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropiriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entires when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. "Potentially Significant Unless 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. "ealier 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 lS063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist. 6. Lead agenCies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Refernce to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. E.I.R.
