July 9, 1974 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: C.U.P. 74-11 14.2 WEST LIVE OAK APPLICATION , This application filed on June 25, 1974, by the San Gabriel Valley Gymnastic Center, is for a conditional use permit to operate a gymnastic school at 142 West Live Oalso Avenue. PRESENT LAND USE AND ZONING . The subject property is zonedC-M and is developed with a commercial building. Properties to the north are zoned C-l and C-M and are developed with a dry cleaning business; pro- perties to the south in Temple City are zoned R-l and de- veloped with single.family dwellings; properties to the east and west are zoned C-M and developed with commercial uses. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The applicant proposes to utilize an existing commercial building to conduct a gymnastic school. The school is pre- sently operating at 146 West Live Oak under C.U.P. 73-4. Classes will consist of approximately 12 students from 6 to IS years of age. Hours of instruction will be between 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Equipment for the facility will consist of floor mats, parallel and high bars, rings and balance beams. The only alterations which will be made to .the building.will be the removal of a wooden loading platform presently con- structed.along the east and south perimeters of the building to make room for additional parking. The school will occupy . .Y ~~~ 5'1 ,; . . . C.U.P. 74-11 2 approximately.6,600 square feet of space. General C-M re- quirements of.five spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross. floor area would require 33 parking spaces. This is not considered to be a realistic requirement for this use. Most students will not be of driving age and will have to be dropped off and picked up by their parents. In addition, the class size .is relatively small. The plot plan submitted by the applicant indicates' 19 parking spaces. Most of these parking spaces, . plus the . driveway a}.ong the side of the building would be substandard. . The Planning Department feelsapproxilllately 12 space.s is more realistic for the site. These spaces would meet code requirements relating to .stall size. If 45o.angle parking is provided, the substandard width of the driveway shou14 not be a problem. Concrete wheel stops are also required. Because .the.parking area fronts Dn a street, a five foot landscaped border is required, as is a three .foot high solid ornamental masonry wall between the landscape buffer and the paved parking area. In addition, three perc,nt of the interior of the parking area should be landscaped. All landscaped areas should be served by a permanent irrigation system. The Planning Department feels the proposed use of the building would .be .an improvement. over the existing use as an egg farm inasmuch as the exterior appearance of the building would be.improved.and the noise and congestion resulting from truck traffic and loading would be eliminated. Pursuant.to the provision of the California Environmental Quality:Act,.the Planning~Department reviewe~the proposed condi tionaI . use permit :'an'd" determined ,that. the proposal would not have.a .significant effect. on the' environmenL" A Negative Declaration has been prepared and filed for this project. The Planning Commission. in its approval or denial.of the proposed conditional.use.permit must make the determination that. the proposed project would or would not have a sub- stantial adverse impact on the environment. RECOMMENDATION Because the proposed use would be consistent with the sur- rounding uses, the Planning Department recommends approval of C.U.P. 74-11 subject to the following conditions. It . . . . C.U.P. 74-11 3 should be noted-that-if-all the following conditions are the only substandard condrtions 'which- will 'exist will be parking deficiency and a too narrow driveway. 2.
