GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial
BACKGROUND
The proposed restaurant would occupy a 1,273 square foot unit within the President
Square shopping center, which was most recently utilized as a hair salon. The
shopping center currently features approximately 50,400 square feet of retail uses, and
12,000 square feet of restaurant uses including a food court area. The existing
restaurants and the food court were established by previous conditional use permit
. approvals,
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to operate a Japanese "Shabu-Shabu" style restaurant,
which involves customers cooking their own food at the table. Section 9275.1.53.5 of
the Arcadia Municipal Code allows restaurants in the C-1 zone, subject to an approved
Conditional Use Permit.
Approximately 760 square feet of the 1,273 square foot unit would be used for seating
area. The remaining floor area consists of the kitchen, restroom, and a storage area.
Although the applicant is proposing a maximum of 40 seats, 37 seats are shown in the
current seating configuration (see attached), According to the Building Official, the
proposed restaurant could accommodate 43 patrons, based on the Building Code. The
proposed hours of operation are 11 :30 a.m, to 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.,
seven days a week.
Parkinq
Seven parking spaces were required for the salon that previously occupied the subject
commercial unit. using the required parking ratio of 5 spaces per 1,000 sq,ft. of floor
area. The proposed restaurant use is required to provide 10 parking spaces per 1,000
sq,ft. of floor area, requiring 13 spaces for the 1,273 sq.ft. restaurant.

.
There are 383 parking spaces onsite. Based on the code requirements, the existing
uses require 372 parking spaces, The proposed restaurant would require an additional
seven parking spaces, resulting in a total parking requirement of 379 spaces.
Therefore, based on City parking requirements, the parking complies with code.
The applicant submitted a parking survey including all 383 of the parking spaces in the
shopping center (see attached). The survey was conducted from October 4 to October
17,2004 at fifteen-minute intervals beginning at 12:00 PM and ending at 2:00 PM, as
lunchtime hours are typically the busiest at the President'Square shopping center. The
survey indicates that there are an average of 61 spaces available out of 383 total onsite
spaces during weekdays and an average of 14 spaces available during weekends. The
busiesttime surveyed was Saturday, October 9, at 1 :00 PM, when it was indicated that
only three spaces were available for the entire shopping center. According to the
parking survey, the weekends were significantly busier, but there were still an average
of 14 spaces available during the busy weekend lunchtime hours.
According to the submitted parking survey, the center experiences a high rate of
vehicular tumover; therefore, many people visit the center for short periods of time.
Based on this information and the parking survey, the proposed restaurant should not
result in a significant increase of traffic at the shopping center.
Other Code Reauirements
The applicant is required to comply with all development requirements and policies
determined to be necessary by the Building Official, Fire Department, and Community
Development Administrator.
CEQA
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Development
Services Department 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, 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

I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required,
[] 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.

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 Impacf' 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 Significantlmpacf' 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 Impacf' 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 H "Earlier
Analyses. may be cross-referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program Environmental Impact Report,
or other CEOA 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 Adclressed. 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 \0 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.

related zoning requirements as set forth in the Arcadia Municipal Code.
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.

..-. comprehensive General Plan because the land use and current zoning are consistent with
. the General Plan.
6. That the use applied for will not have a substantial adverse impact on the
environment, and that based upon 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.

DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
[X] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[] 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.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
[] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment,
butthat 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.

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 Impacr answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show thatlhe
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 Impacf' 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 Impacf' 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 enalyzed 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) Millgation 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 millgation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.
