Deitsch, City Attorney 4 1680 - - e STAFF REPORT Development Services Department January 13, 2004 TO: Arcadia City Planning Commission FROM: Donna L. Butler, Community Development Administrator By: Joseph M, Lambert, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 04-001 for a coffee house with 23 seats at 305 N. Santa Anita Avenue, Unit A. SUMMARY This Conditional Use Permit application was submitted by John Vision Restaurant (Tri Truong), to allow seating for 23 patrons including incidental outdoor dining at an existing take-out only coffee house at 305 N. Santa Anita Avenue, Unit A. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of this application, subject to the conditions listed in this report, GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: John Vision Restaurant (lessee) LOCATION: 305 N. Santa Anita Avenue, Unit A REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit to allow seating for 23 patrons including incidental outdoor dining at an existing take-out only coffee house in a 1,400 sq, ft, unit within the C-MI Commercial-Manufacturing zone, Proposed hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 11 :00 p.m., seven days a week, SITE AREA: 68,258 square feet (1.57 acre) FRONTAGES: 235 feet along Santa Anita Avenue 291 feet along St. Joseph Street 235 feet along Rolyn Place -- . e EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is bounded by Santa Anita A~enue to the east, St. Joseph Street to the north, and Rolyn Place to the west. It is developed with a warehouse, climbing gym, a restaurant, two office b\Jildings, and the existing John Vision take-out coffee house, zoned CoM! Commercial- Manufacturing. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Small Animal Hospital - zoned CoM South: Domenico's Restaurant - zoned CoM East: BUilding Materials Yard -zoned C-2 West: Jungle Gym Climbing Facility - zoned CoM GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Mixed Use (Commercial/Industrial) BACKGROUND On September 18, 2003, a business license was issued to the applicant for a coffee house for take-out drinks and food only with no seating allowed. This license was approved subsequent to the applicant receiving a parking modification for a retail use in a unit historically used for office uses. The applicant proposes to add seating for 23 patrons onsite, , Section 9275.1,45,1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code allows eating establishments in the CPD-1, C-2 or any less restricti~e commercial or industrial zone, subject to a Conditional Use Permit. Although a coffee house is a unique use, the definition of an eating establishment most closely resembles the proposed use, PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The existing take-out establishment sells specialty coffees and teas, sandwiches, salads, and rolls, prepared in the onsite kitchen. It is similar to a .Starbucks. coffee shop in that many customers are there to order only a specialty drink and perhaps get a snack. The applicant intends to better serve his customers by offering seating, as is common in many similar coffee shops, The eating establishment is a 1,400 sq.ft, unit located within an existing commercial building, and 790 sq,ft. would be used for seating area. The remaining floor area consists of the kitchen, men's and women's restrooms, and an office area. The proposed hours of operation are 7:00 a,m, to 11 :00 p.m., seven days a week. CUP 04-001 January 13, 2004 Page 2 - . e Six of the proposed seats are located on the outside terrace directly adjacent to the front of the building. The Arcadia Municipal Code allows incidental outdoor dining at all eating establishments that have a valid conditional use pennit. Three of the interior seats are equipped with computer terminals for patrons to utilize while onsite, The applicant intends to allow free computer use and internet access for patrons of the eating establishment. The computer terminals do not require special approval unless there are four or more computers located onsite, ParkinQ As an existing take-out only business, 8 parking spaces are required for the coffee house, The code does not specify a parking ratio for "coffee houses," but staff generally uses the parking standards for restaurant uses, if the business offers food and has seating. Using this classification, a coffee house with tables and chairs is required to provide 10 parking spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. of floor area, requiring 15 spaces for the 1,400 sq,ft, establishment. Parking Requirements for the subject Commercial/industrial Site Tvpe of business Engineering Office Insurance Offices Proposed Use Restaurant (Domenico's) Ind, use at subject bldg, JunQle Gvm ClimbinQ Facilitv Totals Approx.

Based on the code requirements, the existing uses require 237 parking spaces. There is an existing deficiency of 159 spaces, The proposed coffee house would increase the parking deficiency to 166 spaces, an increase of only seven spaces. The coffee house is already existing as a take out only business, and the only change to the use is the addition of 23 total seats, including outdoor seating and the three computer tenninals. Although the proposed use is considered a restaurant for parking purposes, a coffee house is unlike a true restaurant or eating establishment. Many customers come in only for specialty drinks and are there for only a short time. Another unique aspect of the proposed use is that it serves the immediate neighborhood, which is a mixed-use commercial/industrial area. The applicant currently experiences a high volume of walk-in business from neighboring commercial uses during business hours. This means an unusual portion of the daytime business is from foot traffic generated by nearby businesses. Because of these circumstances, it is the CUP 04-001 January 13, 2004 Page 3 -- . e opinion of staff that the proposed coffee house will not result in a significant impact upon the existing parking situation. Other Code Reauirements The applicant is required to comply with all development requirements and policies determined to be necessary by the Building Official, Fire Marshall, 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 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 carty 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 approval of Conditional Use Permit Application No, CUP 04-001, subject to the following conditions: CUP 04-001 January 13, 2004 Page 4 -- . . 1.
