Huntington Drive, Units #2011203 SUMMARY Angie Cho of Vision 21 Art & College Prep Center submitted:the subject application to operate an art tutoring and college preparation center at 411 E. Huntington Drive, Units #201-203. It is staff's opinion that the proposal is a limited use that is appropriate for the site and would not have any negative impacts upon the neighboring properties. Therefore, the Development Services Department is recommending approval of the application subject to the conditions in this staff report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Angie Cho (representative of Vision 21 Art & College Prep Center) LOCATION: 411 E. Huntington Drive, Units #201-203 REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit with a parking modification to allow an art tutoring and college preparation center for l,lp to 15 students that would occupy a 2,400 square foot unit within an existing commercial building. 1 SITE AREA: 166,000 sq. ft. (3.8 acres) I " v FRONTAGE: Approximately 550 feet along Huntington Drive - EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is developed with a3-story, 69,700 sq.ft. commercial office and retail building and two freestanding restaurants totaling 11,600 sq.ft. constructed in 1990, and is zoned CPD-1, Commercial Planned Development. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: N 6rth: Santa Anita Wash - unzoned South: Commercial Office building - zoned CPD-1 East: Santa Anita Wash-unzoned W es t : Hotel and Restaurant - zoned CPD-1 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Mixed Use - Commercial/Multiple-Family Residential PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The proposal is to operate an art tutoring and college test preparation center that .... would occupy a 2,400 square-foot unit on the second floor of an existing commercial .... office and retail building at 411 E. Huntington Drive. The students will typically be younger than high school age and attendance will be limited to a maximum of 15 students per session, with one session at any given time. Each session would be approximately two to three hours long. The propoSed class hours are from 1 :30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Mondaythrough,Friday, and 9:30 a.m. to 8:30p.m. on Saturdays. An art tutoring and college test preparation center is a permitted use in the CPD-1 zone with an approved conditional use permit. A college test preparation center has occupied unit #309 (approximately 1,300 sq.ft.) within the building since 2004., That use was approved by CUP 04-08 for.a maximum of 44 students for each session and operates 4:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 4:00p.m. to 6;00 p.m. on Fridays, 8:00 a.m. to 6;00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. ,on Sundays, No problems have been associated with this operation. Parkina There are 428 on.site parking spaces. By Code, a tutorial center that enrolls students that are of driving age is required to provide 1 space per employee plus 1 space for every 3 students. Under this regulation, the proposed 2,400 sq.ft. art ~ tutorial and college preparation center with 15 students and 3 employees would ~ CUP 08-07 August 26, 2008 Page 2 ~ - - require eight (8) parking spaces. This is in comparison to the ten (10) spaces required for the original general office use designation of the subject unit (4 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of gross floor area). As a result, this use would decrease the current parking deficiency by 2 spaces. Parking Requirements for the subject Commercial Site Approx. Tvpe of business Sa. Ft. Ground Floor Retail 24,860 (3) Restaurants with <5,001 sq.ft. 7,680 (1) Restaurant with >5,001 sq.ft. 6,600 Sandwich Shop (Subway) 1,090 2nd & 3rt! Floor Offices 37,370 Princeton Test Prep. Center 1,300 (4 employees & 44 students) Proposed Tutorial Center 2,400 (3 emplovees& 15 students) Totals 81,300 Parking Ratio 5/1,000 10/1,000 15/1,000 15/1,000 4/1,000 1/ employee + 1/ 3 Students 1/ employee + 1/ 3 Students Spaces Reauired 124 77 99 16 150 19 8 493 With this tutorial center, a total of 493 spaces would be required for the subject commercial center, resulting in a parking deficiency of 65 [spaces. The parking modification would be 428 spaces in lieu of 493 required. The applicant submitted a parking survey indicating a substantial parking surplus (see attached). The survey states that there is a minimum of 180 parking spaces available between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Upon site visits, staff confirmed such findings and believes that this use would not create a parking deficiency. If limited to the number of students and hours as proposed, this art tutoring and college preparation program could have a lesser parking impact than a general office use and would not conflict with the existing permitted uses. I Therefore, it is staffs opinion that the proposal would satisfy all the prerequisite conditions for a Conditional Use Permit.' I CODE REQUIREMENTS All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits, building safety, parking and site design shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshall, and Public Works Services Director.
