STAFF REPORT Development Services Department July 24, 2007 TO: Arcadia Planning Commission FROM: Jason Kruckeberg, Community Development Administrator :;1.."- B~m Kasama, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Resolution No. 1761 granting Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 07-04 and approving Architectural Design Review No; ADR 07-05 to expand and remodel the restaurant at 21 E. Huntington Drive Attached is Resolution No. 1761 that grants Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 07-04 and approves Architectural Design Review No. ADR 07-05 to expand and remodel the restaurant at 21 E. Huntington Drive. Please note that Conditions of approval nos. 1 and 6 in Section 3 of the Resolution have been amended from those presented in the July 10, 2007 staff report. The amendment to Condition No. 1 adds the following language to specifically describe the expansion approved by the Planning Commission, which includes the 875 square- foot second floor deck along with the landscaping recommended in the staff report: Full utilization of the existing 5,200 square-foot building for restaurant purposes with the existing bar on the ground floor, expansion of the ground level outdoor dining area to approximately 755 square feet with a five (5) foot setback area to accommodate the easterly neighbor's parking access, and addition of an 875 square-foot second floor deck with planters or potted plants (e.g., 24-inch width or diameter) to be placed around the perimeter of the deck and along the rear of the building/stairway. The amendment to Co~dition No. 6 is a change in the Parking Modification from "zero (0) on-site spaces in lieu of 92 spaces," to "zero (0) on-site spaces in lieu of 102 spaces." This change in the Parking Modification accounts for the changes to the required parking amount due to the reduced size of the ground floor patio and the inclusion of the 875 square-foot second floor deck. .
