Butler, Community Development Administratpr By: Thomas P. Li, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 2005-16 and Architectural Design Review No. ADR 200&-19 for an automobile service garage at 28 W. Live Oak Avenue .. SUMMARY The subject Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Design Review applications were submitted by the architect, Robert H. Daggett, to construct an automobile service garage at 28 W. Live Oak Avenue. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the applications subject to the conditions as set forth in this report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Robert H. Daggett (architect) LOCATION: 28 W. Live Oak Avenue REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Architectural Design Review (ADR) to construct an automobile service garage. SITE AREA: 22,791 sq. ft. (0.52 acre) FRONTAGES: Approximately 80 feet along Live Oak Avenue . .~ 4D . n EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site Is currently improved with a vacated self-service coin- operated car wash building constructed in 1978 and a parking area in the rear. The zoning is CoM (Commercial Manufacturing). SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: No rt h : Commercial Center - zoned C-2 South: Multiple-family Resldential- Temple City E a s t: Tutoring Center - zoned CoM We s t: Vacant Office and Warehouse bldg. - zoned C-M GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial BACKGROUND A self-service coin-operated car wash building, constructed in 1978, occupies the front half of the subject property. The rear portion of the property is separated from the front by a solid block wall and was utilized as a parking area by the property to the west and has a driveway accessing the property to the east. This project was originally scheduled for the October 11th Planning Commission meeting; However, staff requested a continuance because of unforeseen vehicular access issues that involve the two adjacent neighboring properties to the east and west. A carpet company occupied the vacant property to the west, at 36 W. Live Oak Avenue, until December 2003. With only a twelve-foot wide driveway accessing the rear parking area, the carpet company was utilizing the rear portion of the subject property to access a 20'-0" wide driveway easement that runs along the property line between the subject property and the property to the east at 22 W. Live Oak Avenue (see attachment). However, there was no written agreement for the carpet company to use the subject property for such access since the same person owned both properties for an extended period of time. The original proposal would have blocked access to the driveway easement and create a potentially hazardous fire access situation for the property to the west. Staff has since met with the applicant to discuss this matter, and they have agreed to provide an easement for the property to the west. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The proposal is to demolish the existing structure on the property and construct an 8,118 sq.ft. automobile service garage that would provide eight tenant spaces, with a total of eighteen (18) service bays. The service hours wili be determined by the CUP 2005-16 & ADR2005:19 October 25,2005 Pace 2 .. .. . .I , I \ individual tenants: but staff suggests to limit the hours to 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., due to abutting residential properties to the south of the site. The adjacent property to the east is a tutoring center. The operator of the school is concerned about potential traffic. that may be generated by the auto service garage; specifically, they are concerned about the use of the recorded driveway easement that is mostly on their property. Staff feels that the easement would not be heavily used, since the proposed driveway on the subject property would accommodate two- way traffic. Furthermore, the applicant has the legal rights to use that easement. The applicant is proposing to install a trash enclosure adjacent to the rear property line, as shown on the submitted site plan. However, in accordance with applicable zoning requirements, it must comply with a minimum building setback of 20'-0". Staff suggests to relocate the enclosure to the planter area labeled "LT on the submitted site plan. Such an enclosure shall comply with the minimum dimensions required by the City (8'x10' or 5'x14') and shall be finished to match the proposed building. An automobile service garage is a permitted use in the CoM zone with an approved conditional use permit. Parkina By Code, an 8,118 sq.ft. automobile service garage is required to provide 16 on-site parking spaces (2 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of gross floor area). The proposed service center has twenty-four (24) on-site open parking spaces. In addition, the 18 service bays would accommodate another 18 automobiles, but they will not be striped as required per Code. From experience with other similar establishments, the non-permitted on-site storage of vehicles takes up many ofthe parking spaces. By posting signs prohibiting vehicle storage, and limiting the type of auto service allowed, staff feels that there would be adequate parking for the proposed auto service garage. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW In conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission may approve, conditionally approve, or deny the applicant's .architectural design. The proposed building provides architectural features to achieve proper massing and architectural relief. Staff feels, however, that the parapet on the front elevation should have a 5'.0" deep return to create a more substantial appearance. Furthermore, the cornice should be carned through the entire front fagade, and the driveway area should be enhanced with colored interlocking pavers. In staffs opinion, the proposed building would be consistent with the City's design criteria provided that the above revisions were made. A separate Design Review would be required prior to installing any new exterior signs on the building or property. Since this proposal is considered an industrial use, CUP 2005-16 & ADR 2005=19 October 25,2005 PAnA:'! .. the maximum allowable signage would be limited to one square foot for each two lineal feet of building frontage. Therefore, with a 33'-0" building frontage, the allowable wall signage for proposed building shall be limited to a maximum of 16.5 sq.ft. The applicant indicated that there is no designated wall sign area above the bays because there would not be individual wall signs for each unit other than the suite numbers. Therefore, staff suggests limiting wall signs to the .sign panel" area as shown on the submitted plans; and that the individual identification signs should be limited to the valance of the awning. 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 Califomia Environmental Quality Act, the Development Services 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 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. . FINDINGS Section 9275.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code requires that for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted, it must be found that all of the following prerequisite conditions can be satisfied: 1. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. 2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized. 3. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and other features required to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. .

[] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, but that at least one effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards and has been addressed by mitigation measures based on that earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, and if any remaining effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated: an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it only needs to analyze the effects that have not yet been addressed. [] 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 have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Environmental Impact Report pursuant to applicable standards and have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. ~~-~ ~ Signature October 3. 2005 Date Thomas Li Printed Name For EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources 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 such as the one involved (e.g., the project is not within 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 pfoject- specific screening analysis). CEOA Env. Checklist Part 1 -3- 4/03 File No. CUP 2005-16 2. All answers must take account of the whole action Involved, including off-site as well as on- site, cumula~ive as well as pfoject-Ievel, indirect as well as direct, and construction related . as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impacf is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significant Impacf entries when the determination is made, an Environmental Impact Report is required. 4. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect ffOm "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 17 "Eaflier Analyses" may be cfoss-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 an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration {Section 15063(c)(3)(D)}. Elilrlier analyses are discussed in Section 17 at the end of the checklist. a) Earlier Analyses Used: Identify and state where 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 suc/:l effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. 4. 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 fOf the project. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate Into the checklist, references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ofdinances). Reference to a previously pfepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7. Supporting Information SOUfceS. 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 Of threshold, If any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure Identified, If any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. .
