Flores, Senior Planner Conditional Use Permit No, 2005-009 and Architectural Design Review No. 04-028 to allow a new automobile fueling station, permit the sales of beer and wine within the convenience store, and a modification to allow 6 fueling positions in lieu of 8 required at 625 W. Las Tunas Drive. SUBJECT: e SUMMARY The subject applications were filed by Mr. David Sabin, on behalf of the Arco Company. to allow a new automobile fueling station at 625 W. Las Tunas Drive. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the applications, and adoption of Resolution No. 1728, subject to the conditions of 'approval outlined in this staff report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: David Sabin on Behalf of Arco Company LOCATION: 625 W. Las Tunas Drive REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Design Review to allow a new automobile fueling station, and the sales of beer and winewithin the convenience store. The applicant's proposal also ~e e requires a modification to provide 6 fueling positions in lieu of 8 required. LOT AREA: 34,024 square feet (.78 acres) FRONTAGE: Approximately 123 feet along Baldwin Avenue Approximately 178 feet along Las Tunas Drive EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The project site is developed with an existing 1 ,694 square foot service station with 6 fueliRg positions. The property is zoned C- 2. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Commercial and Residential; zoned C-2 and R-1 respectively Commercial; zoned C-2 Commercial; zoned 0-2 Commercial; zoned C-2 South: East: West: e GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: ':- Commercial BACKGROUND On November 2, 2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2201, approving Text Amendment No. 2004-003 that was initiated by the applicant, to allow an automated self-service car wash in conjunction with an automobile fueling station and convenience store. At that time the Arcadia Municipal Code did not have a provision to allow such a facility. PROPOSAL The subject site currently has an existing Arco Service Station that has been in operation since 1968. The service station consists of a 1,694 square foot AM/PM 24"haur convenience store with 3 service lube bays at the rear of the building, and 6 fueling positions: The fueling station and convenience store currently CUP No. 05-009 and ADR No. 04-028 June 14, 2005 Page 2 e e - operates 24-hours a day with an attendant on-site at all times. The service lube bays operate from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The applicant proposes to demolish all of the existing structures and construct a larger convenience store that will be approximately 3,058 square feet, a 958 square foot automated self-service car wash at the rear of the building, permit the sale of beer and wine within the convenience store that will be located less than , 50' from residentially zoned property, and a canopy with 6 fueling positions in lieu of 8 required by Code. The site will no longer have any service lube bays. The fueling station and convenience store will continue to operate 24-hours a day with at least 3 attendants on-site at all times, and the automated self-service car wash will operate everyday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. There will be three 8- hour shifts each day with three employees on-site at.all time. ParkinQ The Arcadia Municipal Code requires three (3) parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of retail sales area in addition to the fueling positions. The actual retail sales area within the convenience store is 1,625 square feet, which requires a total of 9 parking spaces. A total of 10 parking spaces will be provided in front of the convenience store, which exceeds the minimum on-site parking requirements. The existing driveway approach on Baldwin Avenue will be widen from 34'-0" to 40'-0" to provide adequate queing into the car wash area, and the driveway on Las Tunas Drive that is located furthest east will remain at the same location. The driveway closest to the intersection will be removed. Interlocking pavers will also be placed behind several parking stalls as a pedestrian walkway to the convenience store. Architectural Desion Review After working with staff and the City's consultant on the architectural design of the building, the applicant re-designed the building from an initial contemporary style that was similar to the Area Service Station at 5 W. Foothill Boulevard to a Craftsman style building. Some of the defining elements of the Craftsman style building include deep roof eaves with exposed cornices, and wide front porches with tapered wood columns and river rock veneer at the base. Further enhancements include half-sided gable roofs on all sides of the building with a CUP No. 05-009 and ADR No. 04-028 June 14, 2005 Page 3 e e - trellis at the front and rear side of the car wash, and over the trash enclosure. Also, the river rock veneer will be used on all of the support columns for the canopy and monument sign to create uniformity. The proposed signs, with the exception of the window signs would comply with all applicable codes. The window signs exceed the allowable area requirement, as noted in the following analysis. ANALYSIS Section 9275.4.7(4) of the Arcadia Municipal Code requires that an automobile fueling station must provide at least 8 fueling positions as the primary use. There will be no change in the number of fueling positions since 6 fuel dispensers are more than adequate for this site. As for the sale of beer and wine within the convenience store, it is staff's opinion that although the convenience store will be located less than 150' from residentially zoned property it would not have an adverse impact since they will be contained inside the refrigerator coolers and there will be no on-site consumption. In regards to signage, the applicant is requesting that the two end windows in front of the convenience store be fully covered by window signs. According to Arcadia Municipal Code Section 9262.4.8, the total area of a window sign in any one (1) wall shall not exceed twenty-five (25%) of the window area provided that the total area of directly lighted window signs does not exceed ten percent (10%) of said window area. It is staff's opinion that there is no hardship or unique situation to warrant this request since 25% of window signs are sufficient for the size of this store's frontage. It is staff's opinion that the proposed use and signage, with the exception of the full 'window signs, are appropriate for the site, provided that the operation of such use remains consistent with this application. 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. CUP No. 05-009 and ADR No. 04-028 June 14, 2005 Page 4 e CEQA Pursuant to the provIsions of the Califomla 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 that cannot be mitigated to a level that is less than significant 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. When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Staff received one letter of concern from the adjacent neighbor at 525 W. Woodruff Avenue opposing the proposed project because ofthe potential noise impacts the car wash would generate (refer to the attachment). e The noise levels are not anticipated to be substantially higher than what currently exists on the auto service station site and the car wash will be located approximately 64'-0" from the side property line of the residentially zoned property. However to ensure that the noise will be mitigated, a condition of approval has been imposed that the vacuum units shall be skirted with a mechanical equipment blanket to reduce the noise by approximately forty percent (40%). 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 No. 05-009 and ADR No. 04-028 June 14,2005 Page 5 e 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.

A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impacr 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., tile project is not within a fault rupture zone). A "No Impacr 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 Impacr 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 "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)}.

AGRICULTURE RESOURCES - In determining whether impacts to agriculture resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the Califomla Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland) to non-agricultural use? (T.he Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program in the Califomia Resources Agency to non-agricultural use? b) ConOict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could resulhn conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use? e D D D D D D D D D IZI IZI IZI CEQA Checklist 4 e Potentially Significant Impact File No.: CUP 05-009 and ADR No. 04..()28 Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporation less Than Significant Impact No Impact The proposal is consistent with the Commercial land use designation of the General Plan and with the underlying zone since It is required to comply with the regulations of any other Jurisdictional agency environmental regulations. As such, the proposed project will have no impacts on agricultural resources. 3. AIR QUALITY - Where available, the significance criteria established by the appllcabie air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: e a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to ,an existing or projected air quality violation? c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment uhder an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (Including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? e) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? f) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? o o o o o o o o o o o [8J o [8J o [8J o [8J [8J o The proposed project Is consistent with the South Coast AIr Quality Management District Air Quality Ma'nagement Plan (SCAQMD) based on the discussion below. Accollling to SCAGMD Rule 1138, Control Emissions for a Food Preparation area requires that the owner install a catalytic oxidizer to the kitchen equipment within the convenience store whIch Is a device that controls the emission Into the air and reduces the particulates In the air.

A Phase I Report was prepared by Secor Inc., dated February 1, 2005. A review of a previous environmental investigation report Indicates that numerous environmental investigations has been performed from April 1987 to present and determined that the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board Issued a "No Further Action" letter requiring no further assessment on the subject site. But, because the existing service station building was built prior to 1978, SECOR Inc. recommends prior to demolition that a comprehensive, EPAlHUD.level Lead Based Paint Survey and a complete AHERA level pre-demolition Asbestos Survey prior to any demolition activities since it may disturb any lead paint present. 8. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY - Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? o o o ~ eb) Supstantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere SUbstantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume ora lowering of the local groundwater table level (i.e., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? o o o ~ c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, In a manner which would result in substantial erosion or sill.ration on or off-site? o o o ~ d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattem of the site or 0 0 0 ~ area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff In a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the 0 0 0 ~ capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted ,runoff? en Otherwise substantially degrade water quality 0 0 0 ~ CEaA Checklist 9 e el) e g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area, as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? h) Place within a 100-year floOdplain structures which would Impede or redirect flood flows? i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, Including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami or mudflow? k) Potential impact of project construction on storm water runoff?
