Li, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 2005-12 and Architectural Design Review Application No. ADR 2005-07 for a proposed Walgreens pharmacy and drug store at 245-253 E. Foothill Blvd. . SUMMARY The subject applications were filed by Rich Development Company on behalf of Walgreens to construct and operate a Walgreens pharmacy and drug store at 245- 253 E. Foothill Boulevard. The Development Services Department is recomm~nding approval of the applications subject to the conditions of approval as outlined in this staff report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Rich Development Company on behalf of Walgreens LOCATION: 245-253 E. Foothill Boulevard REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Architectural Design Review (ADR) to construct and operate a drug store with a drive-thru' pharmacy, and a modification to allow a loading space within 100' of residentially zoned property. LOT AREA: 55,847 square feet (1.28 acres) . FRONTAGE: 200 feet along Foothill Boulevard CUP 2005-12 & ADR 2005-07 October 11, 2005 ~ . . .. . ,I I \ EXISTING LAND USES AND ZONING: 245 E. Foothill Blvd:: Shakey's Pizza: zoned PR-1 and C-2 251-253 E. Foothill Blvd.: Commercial building totaling 6,900 sq. ft.: zoned PR-1 and C-2 253-A and 253-B E. Foothill Blvd.: Duplex built in 1957: zoned PR-1 SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: South: East: West: Single-family residences: zoned R-1' Commercial offices: zoned C-2 Commercial offices: zoned C-2 Ralph's supermarket: zoned C-2 ZONING & GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS: The northerly 95 feet of 245 and 253 E. Foothill Boulevard is zoned PR-1 for single family residential at a density of one unit per 7,500 square feet of lot area and/or parking of transient automobiles for an adjacent or nearby commercial use. The southerly 184.5 feet of 245 and 253 E. Foothill Boulevard is zoned C-21 General Commercial. The General Plan Land Use Designation for the entire project site is Commercial, consistent with the C-2 zoning of the southerly portion of the site. BACKGROUND On September 20, 2005, the Arcadia City Council adopted Ordinance 2210 to approve Zone Change No. Z 2005-03, rezoning an approximate 200 feet wide by 60.5 feet deep strip of property at the centfal portion of the subject property from PR-1 (One-Family zone with an Automobile Parking Overlay) to C-2 (General Commercial). The zone change was necessary to accommodate future commercial development such as the proposed pharmacy and drug store. The proposed project involves the two properties at 245 and 253 E. Foothill Blvd. If this project is approved, the subject properties would be consolidated either through a recorded covenant to hold the two parcels as one or a lot consolidation process, prior to the issuance of building permits. CUP 2005-12 & ADR 2005-07 October 11, 2005 P;lnA? _ PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS . The proposal is to construct and operate a 12.610 sq.ft. drug store at 245-253 E. Foothill Blvd., including a drive-thru pharmacy for pick-up only. All existing buildings on the two properties, including a duplex, Shakey's Restaurant. Noda's Restaurant, Tokyo Education Institute, and Cindy's Nails, would be removed to accommodate the proposed development. A pharmacy and drug store is a permitted use in the C-2 zone. However, this Conditional Use Permit application is necessary because of the drive-thru operation. The proposed store hours would be from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., seven days a week, with the drive-thru pick-up window closing at 10:00 p.m. There will be no sale of liquor. Two of the neighboring property owners who reside to the north and northeast of the site expressed concerns during the zone change hearings about the potential impacts of this project upon their properties. The applicant has since met with the neighboring residents and came into a written agreement signed by both parties (see attached). However, the resident to the north of the subject property is requesting that the drive-thru close by 6:00 p.m. on the weekends because of the potential noise impact. Upon surveying other similar drug stores within the City, staff found that the drive-thru windows are typically closed by 7:00 p.m. on the weekends. Therefore, staff is recommending that the operating hours of the drive-thru be from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.. on Saturday and Sunday to remain consistent with the other existing establishments. The applicant has submitted an acoustical analysis report conducted by an independent noise consultant, Wieland Associates, Inc., that evaluates an existing Walgreens drug store in Moreno Valley to estimate the potential noise impacts of the subject drug store. This report prOVides a detailed analysis of the different potential sources of noise and concluded that the proposed drug store will comply with the noise standards of the City. A copy of the analysis is available for review. The proposal also provides 15.4% landscape coverage within the parking area, where 10% minimum is required. Additional landscaping will be planted along the rear portion of the property to further screen the neighboring properties from potential impacts. A final landscape plan shall be submitted as part of the plan check process, and would be subject to the approval of the Community Development Administrator. o Parkina By Code, a 12,610 sq.ft. retail drugstore is required to provide 63 on-site parking spaces. The proposed layout provides 65 parking spaces, which includes four (4) handicap accessible spaces. CUP 2005-12 & ADR 2005-07 October 11, 2005 ~- . The applicant provided a trip generation analysis conducted by an independent traffic engineering firm, Linscott. Law & Greenspan, Engineers. The report provides a detailed and technical analysis on the amount of additional traffic that would be generated by the proposed drugstore, as compared to the existing uses. From the analysis, it is estimated that an additional 35 trips would be generated dUring the moming peak hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and an additional 23 trips in the afternoon peak hours of 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. In staffs opinion, the estimated additional traffic would not have a significant impact upon neighboring streets and properties. A modification is required for the loading area to be within 100' of the neighboring residential properties. As part of the agfeement with the neighbors, Walgreens is proposing to install a 8'-0" high decorative split face block wall along the rear property line and the rear portion of the easterly property line. Also, delivery hours at the subject loading area would be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.. Monday to Friday. In staffs opinion, these measures would adequately mitigate the potential impacts of the loading area. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW .. The applicant describes the architectural style as California. Architectural details include exposed rafters and columns. stone veneer (Iedgestone) wainscoting, plaster trimmed windows, stone veneer pilaster columns with corbel brackets. Proper massing is achieved by variations in building height and architectural projections on all four elevations including covered pedestrian walkways. The elevations are further enhanced by tree wells and planters throughout the property. The driveway entry will be treated with colored stamped concrete. In staffs opinion, the proposed building is consistent with the City's design criteria. A separate Design Review would be required prior to installing any new exterior signs on the building or property. CODE REQUIREMENTS All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities. occupancy limits, building safety, health code compliance, 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. 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 ~tudy 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 , CUP 2005-12 & ADR 2005-07 October 11, 2005 D~....r.::. '" t .. I ./'"--:,..00'''''--1 historical Of aesthetic significance that could not be made less than significant with mitigation incorporation. 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.

The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefiy explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17 "Earlier Analyses" may be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program Environmental Impact Report, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed In ari earlier EIR or Negative Declaration (Section 15063(c)(3)(D)}. Earlier analyses are discussed in Section 17 at the end of the checklist. a) Earlier Analyses Used: Identify and state whefe they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and 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 that 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 appfoprlate, Include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7. Supporting Information Sources. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or Individuals contacted should be cited In the discussion. 8. 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, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. -4- CECA Env.

LLP, the proposed projec! includes the development of B 16,5]0 SF pharmacy with a drive- thru lane. Parking for the project win be provided via a surfiu;e parking lot with a total of 65 spaces. Access to the project site will be provided via two existing full- access driveways on Foothill Boulevard. &og;.oaa,,- Tndlic T~ Porldng ~Lowa G_Engiunn 1580 Colpor...

Generation factors and equations used in lhis llIIl1lysis are based on infunnation found in the 7th Edition of Trip Genera/ion. published by the lnslitute of Transportation Engineers (lTB) [Washington, D.C., 2003). The trip generation potential of the existing uses was estimated using ITE llmd Use 210: Single Family Detached Housing trip rates, ITE Land Use 814: Specialty Retail trip rates and ITE Land Use 931: Quality Restaurant trip rates. The trip generation potential of the plOpoacd project was csti""'~ using ITE Land Use 881; PharmacylDIUgstore With Drive- Tbm trip rates. The traffic generated by the "Existing Land Uses" xepresentsa "trip budget" for the project site, against which the impact of the proposed Walgrecns PhAlTllAr:yproject might be compared. Table 1, locareci at the rear of. this letter, summarizes the trip generation rates and forecast for the existing land uses and the proposed Walgrceas Pharmacy project As shown, the existing land uses have' a trip generation potential of approximately 770 daily trips, with 9 trips (S inbound, 4 outbound) during the AM peak hOur and 42 trips (27 inbound, 1 S outbound) during the PM peak hour. The proposed Walgreens Pharmacy project is forecast to generate 1,153 daily trips, with 44 trips (25 inbound, 19 outbound) during the AM peak hour and 6S trips (33 inbound, 32 outbound) during the PM peak hour. Please note that the aforementioned trip generation includes adjustments for the net internal trip capture within the project site and for pass-by for trips that come directly from the everyday traffic stream on the adjoining streets (i.e. Foothill Boulevard). The net internal trip capture is based on the ITE Intcmal Capture Summary calculation wOIksheets COIitained in the tnp Generation Handbook, published by ITE, June 2004. Pass-by reduction factors were applied to the existing rcstaunmts (Shakey's Pizza and Noda's) and the proposed pharmacy with drivc-tbru based on studic:il included in the Trip Genera/ion Handbook. The net internal trip capture accounts fur the trip interaction between the existing uses and the existing supermarket versus the trip intCl'lll:tion between the existing supermarket and the proposed pharmacy, which cOnsists of 17S daily trips and IS PM peak hour trips (S inbound and 10 outbound).

Mr. Tab Joh1lson September 26, 2005 Page 3 Comparison of the trips. generated by the proposed Walgn:cms Pharmacy project with the traffic: gencmtion potential of the existing uses indicates that the proposed Walgreeas Pharmacy project will generate more traffic on a daily, AM peak hour and PM peak hour basis thsn the existing uses. The proposed project is forecast to generate 383 more daily trips, 35 IIlOIC AM peak hour trips and 23 more PM peak hour trips than the . existing land uses. ' ConduslOD It is our understanding that the City of Arcadia does not have traffic impact study guidelines. Therefore the guidelines contained within the 1004 Congestion Management Program (CMP) for Los Angeles County will be utilized fur lhis trip generation assessment. Based on the guidelines' contained in the Los Angeles County CMP. a fonnal traffic study is required if the proposed projec:t is likely to add SO or more AM pcsk hour trips or PM peak hour trips to the adja=rt street traffic. Given the results of the trip generation fon:cast comparison and the criteria contained in the Los Angeles County CMP, we conc1ude that a tmffic impact study would not be required for the p..oposed WaIgn:ens Pharmacy project since the Los Angeles County CMP minimum peak hour criteria of 50 trips is not exceeded:' We apprecia~ the opportunity to prepare this investigation.
