Butler, Community Development Administrator By: Joseph M. Lambert, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Application Nos. CUP 04-014 & ADR 03-040: A Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Design Review Application to construct a 78- unit senior condominium project at 161 Colorado Place. SUMMARY The subject applications were submitted by Michael Sun to construct a 78-unit senior condominium project located at 161 Colorado Place. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the applicant's requests, subject to the conditions outlined in this staff report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Michael Sun (project architect) LOCATION: 161 Colorado Place REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Design Review application to construct a 78-unit senior condominium project on the subject lot. SITE AREA: 76,273 square feet (1.75 acres) FRONTAGES: 325 feet along Colorado Place 71 feet along San Juan Drive EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The project site is a 1.75-acre parcel located on Colorado Place between Huntington Drive and San Juan. The site is currently developed with a 60-room hotel (the Westerner) that was buih in CUP 04-014 & ADR 03-040 November 9. 2004 Page 1 , . r '. e . (e ., 1946. This building will be removed subsequent to approval of this project. The entire site is zoned C-2: General Commercial. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Pepper's Restaurant - zoned C-2 South: Office Building - zoned C-2 East: Single-Family Residences - zoned R-1 West: Santa Anita Racetrack - zoned S-1 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial BACKGROUND Design Review application No. ADR 03-040 was conceptually approved by the Development Services Department on August 18, 2004, Because any residential development is a conditionally permitted use within the C-2 zone, a Conditional Use Permit application must be approved concurrently with the Architectural Design Review. The proposed project is also consistent with the General Plan Land use designation of the project site, which allows senior residential developments with an approved conditional use permit. PROPOSAL The proposed development consists of six three-story buildings totaling 86,200 square feet (see the attached building elevations and floor plans). The applicant's proposal involves the removal of the existing structures on the site, and the construction of a 78-unit senior condominium project. The condominiums are intended for sale to private parties and shall be occupied by individuals 62 years of age or older, as set forth in a regulatory agreement between the City and the property owner(s). The units are single level, have two bedrooms each, and range from 1,000 to 1,400 square feet in size. Zonina and General Plan The proposed project is within the C-2 zone and the Commercial land use designation of the General Plan. Residential development is a conditionally permitted use within the C-2 zone, and is subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. The proposed project is subject to the development standards of the C-2 zone and the City's Architectural Design Guidelines. Typically, market rate residential condominium projects are subject to the provisions of the R-3 (Multiple-Family Residential) zone. The proposed project is located within the C-2 zone, which does not specify development standards for residential projects. Although staff has used the R-3 Regulations as a guide, this application is not subject to the specific regulations of the R-3 zone. CUP 04-014 & ADR 03-040 November 9, 2004 Page 2 , , " " e e . " The Commercial General Plan land use designation allows 50 dwelling units per acre for market rate senior housing projects and 63 dwelling units per acre for "affordable" senior housing projects. The project is on a 1.75-acre site and proposes 78 dwelling units, which is a density of 45 dwelling units per acre. The General Plan allows for senior housing within the Commercial land use designation to encourage housing for the elderly, which is identified as a strategy within the Community Development element of the General Plan. Lavout and Desion The proposed project is designed to resemble an Italian village. The multiple buildings are organized around open courtyards that serve as gathering places or garden areas. The buildings feature multi-colored stucco exterior wall treatments with ledgestone accents, wood shutters, wood trellises, tower elements, and varying rooflines. A significant ledgestone base material is featured on all elevations to visually anchor the buildings. Throughout the Design Review process, the applicant worked closely with staff and the City's architectural consultant to achieve the design as proposed. The buildings are all three-stories and approximately 40-feet in height, with tower elements extending an additional eight feet to accommodate the elevators. The C-2 regulations allow a building height of 40-feet, and architectural projections may extend 10-feet above the roofline of buildings. Typically, the R-3 zone allows a maximum of two-stories. not to exceed 30-feet in height. It is staff's opinion that the proposed building height is appropriate for this site, as it is within the C-2 zone and will accommodate senior condominiums. Concurrent with the consideration of this conditional use permit application, the Planning Commission may approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the applicant's design concept plans. Setbacks There is a special setback of 35'-0" as measured from the property line along Colorado Place (Sec. 9320.11.2). The applicant is requesting a modification for a 20 to 25-foot setback adjacent to Colorado Place in lieu of the 35-foot special setback required. The office building to the southeast has a setback of 24'-0" and the patio area of Pepper's restaurant to the northwest has a setback of 12'-0". Also, the existing Westerner Hotel building on the project site is setback 28'-0" from Colorado Place. Allowing a varied setback between 20 and 25 feet for the proposed project would result in a setback consistent with the existing and adjacent development. The proposed condominium project includes 10-foot northerly and southerly side yard setbacks. The C-2 Regulations do not require side yard setbacks; because the land uses to the north and south are commercial. Although the proposed 10-foot CUP 04-014 & ADR 03-040 November 9, 2004 Page 3 , e -- . side yard setbacks comply with the zoning regulations of the project site, based on lot frontage, 15-foot side yard setbacks would be required for such a project in conformance with the R-3 Regulations. However, because the northerly and southerly side yards are adjacent to a commercial building, the impacts associated with a 10-foot setback are minimal. The proposed easterly setback varies between 15 and 18 feet, consistent with the regulations of the R-3 zone. In staff's opinion it is appropriate to require an easterly setback consistent with the R-3 Regulations because it is adjacent to a single-family residential neighborhood. The proposed setback will provide an adequate buffer between the subject development and the residences to the east on Santa Cruz Road. The setback area shall be adequately landscaped to further minimize any impact on adjacent residential development. Parkina The site will be accessed from San Juan Drive, to provide saferingress/egress to the site. Colorado Place is designated asa primary arterial by the General Plan and does not have adequate width to provide a deceleration lane for safe approach. Also, parking is prohibited along Colorado Place. A loading and drop-off area will be provided as vehicles enter the site. Parking is accessed from a ramp leading to the two-level subterranean parking garage. The parking area for residents will be separated by security gates and the 26 guest parking spaces will be available for public use. All parking spaces are 10-feet by 20-feet, consistent with the R-3 provisions of the Municipal Code. The Police Department has suggested several security measures for the parking garages and the tinal security plan will be reviewed by the Police Department prior to occupancy of the site. The applicant is proposing to provide 158 onsite parking spaces in lieu of 234 total parking spaces required by code. In addition, eight tandem spaces will be provided, however they are not counted as "required" parking. The R-3 Regulations state that each dwelling unit shall have a two car garage and one guest parking space. These regulations are intended for standard units, which in general have at least three bedrooms and are commonly occupied by families. However, the Municipal Code does not specify the number of parking spaces required for senior housing. The proposed senior units will vary in size between 1,000 and 1,400 square feet and will each have two bedrooms. Also, the proposed units will be required to be owned and occupied by individuals at least 62 years of age or older. The residents of the proposed condominiums will most likely have fewer vehicles per household compared to families occupying "standard" units. The applicant submitted a traffic and parking study which was reviewed by the City Traffic Engineer. The study includes an analysis of off-street parking demand, and a warrant analysis for a traffic signal at Colorado Place and San Juan Drive. The study concluded that a traffic signal is not warranted and that the proposed senior housing CUP 04-014 & ADR 03-040 November 9, 2004 Page 4 . e e - . project will probably generate less traffic during peak times than the existing motel on the property. The City Traffic Engineer concurs with this analysis and also agrees that the amount of proposed off-street parking will be sufficient for the senior . condominium project. Staff conducted a survey of several surrounding communities regarding parking requirements for senior housing. The jurisdictions surveyed required between 1 and 1.5 parking spaces per unit for senior housing. The proposed project will have slightly more than 2 parking spaces per unit, significantly more than required by most jurisdictions. Also, a senior condominium project that was recently approved by the Planning Commission is parked at approximately 2 spaces per unit. It is the opinion of staff that the amount of parking proposed is sufficient for the type of senior condominium units. Open Space and LandscapinQ For residential developments within the R-3 zone, the private open space requirement is 200 square feet for ground floor units and 100 square feet for second floor units. The proposed units feature private balconies ranging between 55 and 75 square feet. As previously stated, the proposed development is located within the C- 2 zone and therefore, the private open space requirements of the R-3 zone do not apply. However, in staff's opinion, the size of the private open space areas as proposed are mitigated by the presence of the large common open space areas and the 2,000 square foot recreation room. Multiple family residential projects containing 10 or more units are required to have at least 28% of the total lot area in open space. The proposed project features over 46,000 square feet of open space. Therefore, 60% of the lot area is comprised of open space in conformance with the R-3 Regulations. The applicant is also proposing a 2,000 square foot recreation center as part of the project. A landscape plan prepared by a licensed Landscape Architect has been conceptually approved with the Architectural Design Review drawings. The City's landscape design consultant has reviewed these plans as part of the conceptual approval process. However, detailed landscaping and irrigation plans shall be submitted and reviewed by staff as a condition of approval. Staff believes that the applicant's proposal meets the intent of the design criteria set forth in the City's Architectural Design Review Regulations. The design elements of the subject buildings (I.e., stone veneer, wood shutters, tower elements, etc.) will provide the necessary visual relief avoiding flat wall areas. All elevations have been treated to avoid symmetry and to provide a high level of materials and design quality. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed design is consistent with the multiple family residential design guidelines and mitigates the requests to deviate from code requirements. CUP 04-014 & ADR 03-040 November 9, 2004 Page 5 . . e ~ ReQulatorv AQreement To ensure that the condominiums are owned and occupied by at least one senior citizen per household, a regulatory agreement (covenant) shall be filed with the Los Angeles County Recorder's office. The regulatory agreement ensures that the owner and at least one occupant of each unit shall be no less than 62 years of age, and requires that the City be notified with the sale of each unit. The agreement also gives the City the power to enforce the regulations set forth in the agreement. A draft of this agreement is currently under review by the City Attorney and will be reviewed and approved by the City prior to issuance of building permits for the proposed project. Amenities and MitiQation Measures Although this project applicant is requesting relief from several accepted development standards for multiple~family residential units, the proposed development exceeds the minimum Code requirements as follows: . PubliC Open Space - The proposed project features over 46,000 square feet of common open space in addition to the private balconies for each unit. Therefore, 60% of the lot area is in open space, significantly more than the 28% total open space required for multiple family residential units. . Recreation Center - The proposed project includes a 2,000 square foot recreation center for the use of the residents. . Design/Layout - The architectural design and proposed exterior materials meet or exceed the standards set forth in the City's Architectural Design Review Guidelines. The open courtyard areas provide gathering spaces and will include unique themed gardens with decorative wood trellises. Also, the applicant has proposed a 4'-0" high decorative fence adjacent to the Colorado Place frontage. The proposed fence shall consist of a 2'-0" high stucco wall with an additional 2'- 0" of decorative wrought iron on top. The decorative fence/wall will meander along the Colorado Place street frontage, and will be setback no less than 3'-0" from the property line. Deoartmental Requirements All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, building safety, fire prevention, detection, and suppression, police safety, and site design will be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, Fire Marshall, Police Chief, and Community Development Administrator. The Police Department has suggested several specific security measures for the proposed project and the final security plan will be reviewed by the Police Department prior to issuance of building permits. CUP 04-014 & ADR 03-040 November 9, 2004 Page 6 , . e ~ The project site is within Central Redevelopment Project Area and therefore, is subject to the review and approval of the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency. Redevelopment staff has reviewed the conceptual design plans and is in support of the project. Subsequent to Planning Commission approval, this project shall be scheduled for Arcadia Redevelopment Agency review. ANALYSIS The proposed project features exceptional open space, recreation areas, design features, and landscaping that exceed the requirements for multiple family residential projects. These features mitigate the requested variations from code that are necessary to accommodate the senior housing units. It is staffs opinion that the applicant's proposal meets the intent for such variations to be granted because, if approved, the proposed development will secure an appropriate improvement to the site. Also, it is the opinion of staff that the proposed project exemplifies and furthers the goals of the General Plan in providing senior housing. 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. 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. 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 CUP 04-014 & ADR 03-040 November 9, 2004 Page 7 . - . 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. RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 04-013 & ADR 02-072 subject to the following conditions: 1.

MEMORANDUM Development Services Department DATE: AprilS, 2004 TO: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator FROM: Ed Cline, Traffic Engineer ~ SUBJECT: ADR 2003-040-161/17S COLORADO PLACE As requested, I have reviewed the revised plans for the proposed senior housing project at 161/175 Colorado Place. My review was concentrated on the subterranean garage circulation and amount of parking. My request for a traffic signal warrant analysis at Colorado Place and San Juan Drive has been submitted and reviewed. The results of my review are submitted on a separate memorandum dated April S, 2004. The proposed project as revised consists of 78 condominium units with basement parking. There are 152 standard parking spaces and six handicap parking stalls. There are eight tandem parking spaces proposed. They are not included in the basic parking stall count. The revised plan appears to satisfy the City's Parking Code. The parking ratio as submitted provides 2.03 spaces per unit. The parking space dimensions and drive aisle width are very generous. The 30-foot drive aisle width would be beneficial to the senior drivers. Overall, the revised plan appears to have addressed the comments forwarded in my December 1S, 2003 memorandum regarding this project. EC:pa cc: Philip A. Wray, City Engineer . e . MEMORANDUM Development Services Department DATE: AprilS, 2004 TO: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator FROM: Ed Cline, Traffic Engineer ;; ~ ' SUBJECT: TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT ANAL YSIS,.....cOLORADO PLACE AND SAN JUAN DRIVE As requested. I have reviewed the Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis conducted at Colorado Place and San Juan Drive. The study was done in conjunction with the proposed senior housing project at 161/175 Colorado Place. The study was conducted using widely accepted State of California traffic signal criteria. Approach traffic on both streets was analyzed to determine if a traffic signal would be . justified. The report, prepared by Hartzog & Crabill, a consulting traffic-engineering firm, concluded that a traffic signal at Colorado Place and San Juan Drive was not warranted. Based on my review of the study, I concur with the results and conclusion. The report also concluded that the proposed senior housing project would probably generate less traffic during the critical commute periods than the existing motel on the property.

FROM: Bob Sanderson, Police Dept. ~ SUBJECT: CUP 04-0 It & ADR03-040 161-175 Colorado Place BACKGROUND A proposed 78-unit senior condominium project with two levels of underground parking. The police department has been asked to provide input with regard to crime prevention and public safety. DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS This project would replace the Elite Westerner Motel currently located at the proposed project site. The Westerner Motel has been a location where many. drug related arrests have taken place over the course of many years. The proposed project would most likely reduce unlawful drug use at that location. As the project is located adjacent the Santa Anita Race Track and two motels that are within walking distance to this proposed project, some additional considerations with respect to crime prevention and public safety should be made. The building Itself should be outfitted with sufficient exterior lighting to dissuade criminals from attempting to hide on the property to prey on a resident or visitor. There should be no Jarge bush or shrubbery landscaping around the first floor or windows to the units that could allow a criminal cover or concealment. The two levels of parking garage should be equipped with 24-hour digitaVvideo recording closed circuit camera system that is also monitored by a security service. Emergency phones and alanns should be installed in the parking garage to afford residents and visitors the ability to either call for assistance or just push an a1ann button to summon help. This a1ann system should be monitored by an alann company or on-site security service. The garage entrance should have an electronically controlled security gate.
