September 24, 1991 TO: ARCADIA CITY PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT DONNA L. BUTLER, ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR CASE NO.: CU.P.91-013 FROM: SUMMARY An application was filed by Magno Freire to operate a truck driving school on Parcels 2046 through 2055 on Randolph Street in the Chicago Park area. The Planning Department is recominending approval subject to conditions outlined in this report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPUCANT: . LOCATION: REQUEST: LOT AREA: FRONTAGE: Magno A.

GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION Industrial BACKGROUND In April, 1991 we received a complaint that a truck driving school was operating on the subject property. Based upon an investigation, the Planning Department sent a letter to the property owner Xavier Contreras advising him that illegal activities were being conducted on his property. The City received no response from Mr. Contreras. In May, the City's Code Enforcement Officer went out to the site and contacted two persons regarding this matter. The same day, Angel Chavez and Eddie Freire came to the City to determine what was necessary to operate a driving school. At that time staff advised that they could not continue to conduct driving classes and they would have to apply for a conditional use permit. This application is a result of several meetings with the applicants and their desire to operate a driving school. Currently they are operating International Transport at 11725 Goldring Road, which does long-distance hauling. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing to utilize the 100' by 300' vacant property on Randolph Street to operate a truck driving school. This area will be primarily used for the skill maneuvering course. Driving will be done on the surrounding streets. Classes will be held every two hours with a maximum of ten students per training session. The applicant has indicated that the hours of training will be 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight, Monday through Saturday. The extended hours allow persons who work during the day to take lessons during the evening hours. It is possible based on the proposed hours that they could have up to nine driving classes per day. Residential property in the City of El Monte is located east of the subject property. Staff has observed trucks from both the Dootson and Dial Driving Schools driving on the industrial streets in close vicinity to these neighborhoods. Staff does not feel that it is appropriate to allow the school to operate until 12:00 midnight and recommends that hours be limited from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. C.u.P.91-013 September 24, 1991 Page 2 . . . There will be a maximum of 12 trucks/trailers used to conduct training. The trucks/trailers will be stored on the subject property when training classes are not in session. The applicant has indicated that the "training area will not be used for any mechanic services at any time". The lot will be paved and a wrought iron fence with a 40'-0" wide gate will be installed along Randolph Street. A 150' long wrought iron fence will also be installed along the east property line extending from Randolph Street to Goldring Road. In addition a fence will be installed adjacent to the building on Goldring Road, extending to the east property line. Steel poles will be located along the north and west perimeter of the property to protect the adjacent buildings walls. Access to and from the property will be from Randolph Street only. There will be no access off of Goldring Road. Randolph Street is 20'-0" in width; there is no designated parkway. Traffic volume will be increased, with the ingress and egress of trucks onto the site; however, no driver's training should be done on the street. Driving lessons should not be conducted on Randolph Street because of the narrow street width. The applicant has not indicated where the students will park their vehicles; there is no on-street parking available on Randolph Street. There is adequate room on the subject property to park trainees' vehicles and the Planning Department recommends that all students park their vehicles on the subject property and that this condition be strictly enforced by the driving school operators. Staff has received two letters in opposition to the proposed driving school (see attached). MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION The Dootson Truck Driving school has a conditional use permit to operate a driving school at 11629 Clark Street. They are limited to 76 students at anyone time. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning 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. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. C.U.P.91-013 September 24,1991 Page 3 . . .

We are writing in regard. to t~ truck driving school which is going to be using the property behind our building and r~ also use the parcel of land next to us on the east eleva- tion of our property. Driving or parking of trucks on it .. raises a great amount of dust. ' In the past when it was used for this purpose, there were a lot of people coming into our building by mistake. Also, some of them parked in our lot or cut across our lot to access. the school. This is very disruptive to any business and is a liability risk. We feel that a wall is needed to control all of the above for any business to operate on the property next to us. HANSTEG SYSTEMS INC. GHK:ab . . I ~o~,~ech HE-I Sp,'('i"fi:illg in Cllmpfete War",.

Ms. Donna Butler Assistant Planning Director City of Arcadia Planning Department 240 West Huntington Drive Arcadia, CA 91006 RE. APplication C.U.P. 91-013 Magno A. Freire Truck Driving School Dear Ms. Butler, My business is located at 11626 GOldring Road, Arcadia. The property backs up to that proposed for the diving school to be located on lots 2046 and 2055 on Randolph Street in Arcadia. At this time, Dootson Driving School operates in our Vicinity and uses property on Randolpb Street for training. That property is not paved and causes extreme dust to be generated by the trucks. I have had to call the City of Arcadia numerous times to bave them cease using that property as it makes it impossibLe for the four businesses located on our property to operate. After the City of Arcadia issues warnings to Dootson, they stop for awhile, but in a few weeks begin again. As you can see it bas been an on-going problem. ' My concern is with the Environmental Document. Negative Declaration. We, nor any of our tenants, were contacted to see if there would be a negative impact on our businesses. I definitely do not want a new driving school to create, on a regular' basis, what bas been an intermittent problem to us for some years. As I cannot be present on September 24, 1991 at 7.30 p.m. I would like this letter to be submitted VOicing my objection to the driving school. . . . . . , ~-.. ~- ..,.... ..,- ~ Page 2 September 11, 1991 City of Arcadia Planning Department If the request is granted I would request that it be based on a conditional approval. 1. All property be completely paved prior to the granting of the request. 2. The training sChedule be coordinated with the existing school (Dootson), so that extreme traffic problems are not generated on Goldring Road. Our businesses require regular deliveries of trucked materials, and at times our deliveries are delayed while the street is being cleared of the training trucks. Thank you for considering our comments on the proposed application. u : Regards, Jonathan J. rown President cc. Riverland Inernat1onal, Inc. Temple Graphics, Inc.

Generation of substantial additional vehicular movement? The truck driving school will increase truck traffic in the area. However, classes will be limited, according to the applicant to ten students per class. If classes are restricted to ten students, staff does not believe that this will result in a substantial increase in traffic within the area. 13c. Substantial impact upon existing transportation systems? Randolph Street is only 20'-0" in width and access to the site is from this street. In order to minimize the amount of truck tra~fic, the Planning staff will be recommending that no driving instructions take place on this street. 13f. Increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians? The school will increase truck traffic in the area. This traffic will be incidental to the other truck driving schools in the area (Dial and Dootson). This area is zoned and developed with industrial uses. There is very little pedestrian and bicycle traffic on the streets. Because of the isolated nature of this area, there is minimal vehicular traffic that is unrelated to the industrial uses and the Planning Department does not anticipate that there will be a substantial increase in traffic hazards. 14e. Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? The addition of another truck driving school in this area could add to future street maintenance problems. Although the streets are designed to commercial standards, truck driving schools have more of an impact on the roadways than the normal industrial type use. However, even if the school operated outside the City, there is nothing to prohibit the training-from taking place in the City. , . . . FILE NO. .c.LlP C1' -(') ~3 ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMA nON FORM A.

BEING THE LOCATION WHERE DRIVING STUDENTS WILL BE FIRST INSTRUCTED IN BASIC TRUCK MANUEVERING, SUCH AS BACKING-UP AND TURNS, BEFORE CONDUCTING THEM TO THE CITY STREETS, THERE WILL BE A MINOR NOISE CAUSED BY NORMAL DRIVING OF A POWER UNIT, SUCH AS A TRACTOR. THIS NOISE IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY MINIMAL AS THE GENERAL AREA IS USED TO TRUCK-TRACTORS MAKING REGULAR DELIVERIES AND DRIVING STUDENTS PASSING BY FROM ANOTHER TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOL. THE TRUCKS USED FOR DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS ARE ALWAYS MAINTAINED TO THEIR MAJOR CONDITION AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA MOTOR ACT.
