STAFF REPORT
Development Services Department
May 10, 2005
TO: Arcadia City Planning Commission
FROM: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator
By: Thomas P. Li, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 2005-07 for a tutoring
center at 19 E. Live Oak Avenue, units A, C, & D.
SUMMARY
This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by Kate Kyungmi Ha, lessee
of the subject property, to operate a tutoring center with 60 students at 19 E. Live
Oak Avenue, units A, C, & D. The Development Services Department is
recommending denial of this application because the subject site is inadequate in
size and shape to accommodate such use.
GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Kate Kyungmi Ha (lessee)
LOCATION: 19 E. Live Oak Avenue, units A, C, & D
REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit for a 3,300 sq.ft. tutoring center with 60
students in a 3,300 square foot unit within an existing 2 story
commercial office building.
SITE AREA: 19,055 sq. ft. (0.43 acres)
FRONTAGE: Approx. 183 feet along Live Oak Avenue
Approx. 61 feet along Louise Avenue
.
.
.
EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING:
The site is developed with a 2-story, 9,000 sq.ft. commercial office
building constructed in 1986, and is zoned CoO & 0, Professional
Office with an Architectural Design overlay.
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
No rt h :
South:
East:
West:
Single-family dwellings - zoned R-1
Commercial Retail units - zoned C-2
Bank - zoned CoO & 0
Restaurant - zoned C-1 & 0
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
Commercial
BACKGROUND
This application is the result of a code enforcement citation. The subject use was
originally pennitted in 1989 as a 2,000 sq.ft. art school with ten (10) students and
four (4) teachers under Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 1989-010. Upon a recent
inspection, staff discovered that the subject art school has expanded the use as well
as the square footage of the school without pennits.
PROPOSAL
The proposal is to operate a 3,300 sq.ft. tutoring center that would occupy three units
(A, C, & D) within the 9,000 sq.ft. office building at 19 E. Live Oak Avenue. Classes
would be provided to students aged sixteen (16) and younger on weekdays. These
classes would cover subjects such as Art, Speech, English, and Math. Piano
lessons would also be provided. SAT ,preparation classes would be provided on
Saturdays to high-school students. There would be one to two sessions a day, with
a maximum of sixty (60) students at anyone time. The proposed class hours are as
follows:
Summer Class Hours (Julv and Auaust)
Monday through Friday 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Winter Class Hours (September throuah June)
Monday through Friday 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
The applicant would typically be there from noon to 6:00 p.m. to handle
administrative functions and teach class. In addition, there would be eight teachers
CUP 05-07
May 10, 2005
Page 2
.
.
.
who come in for a period of 2-4 hours each day; each teacher has 5-8 students. The
teachers would typically come in a few hours before class for preparation, and stay
an hour after to complete their tasks.
A tutoring center is a permitted use in the COO zone with an approved conditional use
permit.
Parkina
There are 32 on-site parking spaces. By Code, a tutoring center with students of
non-driving age is required to provide 1 space per employee plus 1 space for every 5
students. Under this regulation, the proposed 3,300 sq.ft. tutoring center with sixty
(60) students and nine (9) employees would require twenty-one (21) parking spaces.
Together with the existing office uses, the proposed use would result in a parking
deficiency of 12 spaces. The following is a break-down of the on-site parking
requirements:

In response to a previous Conditional Use Permit application for a proposed job-
training center at the subject location, a neighboring resident to the north of the site
adVised staff that traffic near the intersection of Live Oak Avenue and Louise Avenue
is heavy due to the site's existing art school, and the existing bank located across the
street at Louise Avenue.
ANALYSIS
The Development Services Department received numerous calls from concemed
parents, stating that the school serves a need in the city. Staff acknowledges the
parents' concerns. However. in staff's opinion, the proposal is too intense for the
subject property, and is inconsistent with the design of the building to accommodate
general office uses. This is evident as the Building Official and Deputy Fire Marshal
are requiring substantial upgrades to the building to accommodate this use (see
attachments). Furthermore, the typical noise level associated with children may have
a negative impact on the existing office uses, as well as adjoining residential uses.
Although there will be a parking deficiency, staff observed that there is available on-
site parking throughout most of the day. However, there is a substantial problem
CUP 05-07
May 10,2005
Page 3
.
.
.
with the site not providing an adequate on-site area to accommodate the loading and
unloading of the students within a short period of time. The lack of proper on-site
traffic circulation for the proposed use causes traffic to back out onto Louise Avenue
and Live Oak Avenue especially when parents are dropping off and picking up their
children at the same time. Staff is recommending denial of this application because
the configuration of the parking areas are inadequate in size and shape to
accommodate the expanded use.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits.
building safety, health code compliance, parking and site design shC!1I be complied
with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, Community Development
Administrator, Fire Marshall, and Public Works Services Director.
Any exterior improvements, such as any new signs, sign face changes, and awnings
shall be subject to architectural design review and approval by the Community
Development Division.
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 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. However, this
proposal would result in traffic impacts. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration
has been prepared for this project; mitigation measures would be those that address
the traffic issues.,
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.
CUP 05-07

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.
4. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement
type to carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use.
5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
The Development Services Department recommends denial of Conditional Use
Permit Application No. CUP 2005-07, because the subject site is Inadequate in
size and shape to accommodate said use.

approval:
1. There shall be no more than twenty (20) students and nine (9) employees at
anyone time.

through June, the class hours shall be 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
4. The use approved by CUP 2005-07 is limited to the tutoring center. The
tutoring center shall be operated and maintained in a manner that is
consistent with the proposal and plans submitted and approved for CUP 2005-

on the premises.
6. Any exterior alteration to the building requires the filing and approval of a
design review application.
7. All conditions of approval shall be complied with prior to opening the tutoring
center. Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of approval
CUP 05-07
May 10, 2005
Page 5
.
for CUP 2005-07 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of
any approvals, which could result in the closing of the school and office.
8. All City code requirements regarding accessibility, fire protection, occupancy,
and safety shall be complied with to the satisfaction of Building Services and
the Fire Department.
9. Approval of CUP 2005-07 shall not take effect until the property owner(s), and

Development Services Department to indicate awareness and acceptance of
these conditions of approval.
.
10. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Arcadia
and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, action, or
proceeding against the City of Arcadia, its officers, employees or agents to
attack, set aside, void, or annul any approval or condition of approval of the
City of Arcadia concerning this project and/or land use decision, including but
not limited to any approval or condition of approval of the City Council,
Planning Commission, or City Staff, which action is brought within the time
period provided for in Government Code Section 66499.37 or other provision
of law applicable to this project or decision. The City shall promptly notify the
applicant of any claim, action, or proceeding concerning the project and/or
land use decision and the City shall cooperate fully in the defense of the
matter. The City reserves the right, at its own option, to choose its own
attorney to represent the City, its officers, employees, and agents in the
defense of the matter.

required prerequisite conditions for a Conditional Use Permit, and adopt
Resolution No. 1729 to affirm the Commission's decisiOn and specific findings.
Approval
If the Planning Commission intends to approve Conditional Use Permit Application
No. CUP 2005-07, the Commission should move to file the Negative Declaration,
state the supporting findings, and direct staff to prepare a resolution incorporating
the Commission's decision, specific finding~, and any conditions of approval.

[Xl 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 the
mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the
project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[l I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
[l 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.

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 project-
specific screening analysis).

2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-
site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction related
as well as operational impacts.
3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect
is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significant Impact" 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 from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less
Than Significant Impact." 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 an
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 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 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 appropriate, 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.

The proposed tutoring center will be in an existing commercial building in a fully developed area that has an on-
site parking defiCiency according to code requirements. This proposal would increase the intensity of the use
and would increase the parking shortage. Also, the loading and unloading of students would cause a temporary
congestion near an intersection. The congestion could be mitigated by limiting the number of students to where
the provided spaces would be sufficient to serve as loading spaces.
UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS - Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable
Regional Water Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater
treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities. the
construction of which could cause significant environmental
effects?
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage
fac:liities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of
which could cause significant environmental effects?
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from
existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded
entitlements needed? In making this determination, the City shail
consider whether the project is subject to the water supply
assessment requirements of Water Code Section 10910, et seq.
(SB 610), and the requirements of Govemment Code Section
664737 (SB221).
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider
which serves or may serve the project determined that it has
adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in
addnion to the provider's existing commitments?
