January 22, 1974
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT C.U.P. 74-1
412 AND 418 NORTH FIRST AVENUE
APPLICATION
This appl ication was filed on January 2, 1974 by P & F Motors
and proposes to construct a garage for automotive repair at 412 '
North First Avenue. The applicants are also including their present
automotive gara'ge at 418 North First Avenue in this 'application.
PRESENT LAND USE AND ZONING
The northern lot is developed with'~'automotive garage and the
southern lot is vacant, and are zoned M~; property'to the north is
zoned M-l and is developed with a'service station; properties to the
east, wes.t and south are .zoned M-l and developed with re~idential
uses.
This project is in the redevelopment' area and, if approved,
would be reviewed by the executive'director of the redevelopment
agency for his report on what effect" if any the issuance of a building
permit would have upon the redevelopment plan.
HISTDRY
On April 14, 1966, P & F Motors filed C.U.P. 66-10 requesting
a garage-type development at 412 North First Avenue. The Planni,ng
Corrmission at, its regular meeting of April 26, 1966 denied this
application without prejudice because of insufficient lot area. The
Planning Conmission further s.tated. in Resolution 588 "that the
granting of.a,conditionaluse permit as,requested on such a substandard
site would.be contrary' to. the' plan for the area, and, therefore, detri-
mental to other properties and improvements in the area."
The Planning Corrmission later granted a C.U.P. when p' & F Motors
in May of 1966, submitted a revised, plan which used the ne~t lot to
the north (418 North First, present site.of P & F Motors) for a garage
development. In granting a conditional use permit, the Planning
~~
.
.
.
C.U.P.74-1

Commission found that development of. this site (418 North First)
would not be detrimental to the vicinity because the possibilities
for consolidation into some ultimate. use of a suitable lot size was
significantly limited by the alley on the south and the developed
service station on the north.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
.
The subject sites (412 and 418 North First) have a frontage of
53.65 feet and 50 feet respectively on First Avenue, and a depth of
135 feet adjacent to a 20 foot wide alley running the length of the
property on the south and north., . For the purpose:of- meeting the
minimum lot area requirement of' 15,000 square feet for development of
412 North First Avenue, as per Section 9266.2.3 of the code, the
applicant contends the square footage of both lots should be included
in the lot area calculations. If both lots were treated as one and
their square footages totaled as the applicant contends, then these
lots would comply with code in respect to lot area.
However, in checking the Santa Anita Tract Map it was found that
Lots 3 (412) and 34 (418) were subdivided into separate lots with
both First Avenue and the alley that separates the lots being dedi-
cated to the City at the time of the subdivision in 1887.
From 1887 until tilis date, irrespective of ownership, the two
lots have existed separately as Lots 3 and 34 of Block 83, Santa Anita
Tract. The applicallt Ilas not submitted any material which would tie
these two lots together and prevent them from bein9 sold separately
as is now possible.
On the basis of this application, staff feels it is Ilecessary to
review each lot on its own merit.
The lot at 418 North First Avenue is now developed with a garage
use. The building contains approximately 2,240 square feet with the
minimum amount of landscaping required by code, in front of the building.
The balance of, the lot is covered with hard surface material. On-site
parking consists of___four ~tandard parking spaces which meet code, and
-two smaller parking spaces which would not count toward meeting the
co_d~_ t:,equi renlents of six parking spaces.
""'"L _ ____ _~___ ___n ...
The lot at 412 North First Avenue, to the south and across the
alley is vacant., The applicant proposes to construct a concrete block
building with a flat roof. The building would be rectangular in shape,
28 feet by 84 feet, with' approximately 2,352, square feet and would be
positioned on the south property line behind the front setback.
.
.
.

C.U.P. 74-1

The plans submitted by the applicant show three large garage-type
doors to be used as entrances, each door faces, the alley and would pre-
sumably be open during some portion of the' business hours. The place-
ment of the, building is,such that,all three"of, the Vehicular entrances
to the building would' be visible from the street.
Proposed on-site parking consists of seven spaces, three of which
do not conform with the code and would not count toward code requirements
of six parking spaces, either because. of insufficient turnaround dis-
tance or because one or more cars must be moved to permit access.
Proposed on-site landscaping. consists of the minimum code require-
ment of 1 0 feet, in the front setback. The rest of the lot wou 1 d be
covered with hard surface material.
The applicant.. proposes to construct a' six foot high block wall
across the rear. property line and around portions of tre parking area
adjacent. to the alley and interior side yard, similar to their existing
development. .,
.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACi (CEQA)
Pursuant to the provi s ions of the CEQA, the Planni ng Department
reviewed this application and determined that the pr.oposal would not
have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration
has been prepared and filed for this item.
The Planning Commission in its approval or denial of this applica-
tion must make the determinatton that this item would or would not have
a substantial adverse impact on the environment.
RECOMMENDATI ON
The Planning Department feels the circumstances surrounding this
proposed development have not changed materially since the Planning
Commission~s denial of a similar application in April of 1966. Should
the Planning Commission wish to consider approval, staff recommends the
following conditions.
1..
That th ap itant furni sh an appropriate covenant to be
approved the Arcadia City Attorney which prevents lot 3
(412 NorF, t Avenue) and lot 34 (418 North First Avenue)
810ck' Santa nita Tract from being sold separately or
operated by different proprietorships. r'
That the development shall comply with the plans on file with ~.
