May 23" 1972 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT FROM: SUBJECT: T.A. 72-8 REVISION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REGULATIONS FOR PR~VATE CLUBS, FRATERNITIES, SORORITIES, LODGES, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS The Planning Department has undertaken this study as a direct result of Zone Change No. Z-72-2 which reclassi- fied R-3 property on North First Avenue between the Foothill Freeway and Foothill Boulevard to zone R-2. Both the Planning Commission and the City Council were concerned with the consequences of this zone change to the American Legion property. The City Council requested staff to research the conditions under which the American, Legion was permitted to locate in their present zoning and location. The Planning Department, City Clerk's Office, and the City Attorney's Office researched their files and no specific variances or other use peI'llli ts were found.. The main building was constructed in 1932 when the use was apparently permitted without the need of a variance. Under present regulations the use is permitted zones R-3 and C-Q or less restrictive commercial or, trial zone with an approved conditional use permit. these regulations no building permits may be issued uses which do not have the required conditional use in indus- Under for permit. The zone change to R-2 makes the use 'non-conforming and not, permitted even with a conditional use permit. By permitting such use in any zone with a conditional use permit, the American. Legion use would have the same status as presently exists as far as the existing use and changes to the existing buildings are concerned. J-/ jJ ~~'nS , VI' V "\" I ", / . . . '. . .. . T.A. 72-:-8 2 Other uses not heretofore covered by conditional use permits are community service organizations such as the Red Cross, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Assistance League, Woman's Club, etc. In the past these uses have been per- mitted by variances. However, the State has since set forth strict guidelines for variances which would all but preclude variances being granted for such uses today. Should community service organizations wish to come into Arcadia or relocate within Arcadia or otherwise alter their buildings or use beyond the limits of the original variances, there is no procedure for such changes within the present zoning ordinance. The conditional use permit process affords sufficient checks and balances to insure that uses covered by the proposed text changes would be compatible with adjacent uses. The Planning Department recommends Section 9275.1.53.2 which reads as follows, to be deleted: ",PRIVATE CLUBS, FRATERNITIES,SORORITIES AND LODGES, excepting those the chief activity of which is a service customarily carried on asa business. ~-3 and C-O or any less restrictive com- mercial or industrial zone." And a new section added to the zoning ordinance to be listed under the uses which may be permitted in any zone upon the granting of a conditional use permit, which would read as follows: "Private clubs, fraternities, so~orities lod es and community service organizat~o s, cep ~ng t ose 1 0 wh~ch ~s erv~ce customar~ y carried on as a business.

May 23, 1972 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING DEPARTMENT CONDITIONAL USE, PERMIT C.U.P. 72-10 15-21 FLOWER STREET FROM: SUl?JECT: APPLICATION This applica~ion, filed on May 5, 1972, by Vernon Crowder (tenant) on behalf of Carl & Elizabeth Reinhardt (owners), requests a conditional use permit to operate a brake repair shop within an existing industrial building. . LAND USE AND ZONING . The subject property is zoned M-l and contains an industrial buiiding, a portion of which is used for a cabi- net shop. The property to the north, east and west is zoned M-l and developed with industrial businesses, automotive garage, single family homes, duplexes and apartment buildings. The property to the south across Flower Street is zoned C-C D & H and'developed with a lumber company, building materials company and upholstery shop. (See attached Land Use and Zoning Map.) PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The industrial building has a total floor area of 2,9'00 square feet, the vacant portion contains 1,450 square feet. The site is approximately 4,428 square feet. The applic~nt is proposing to operate a brake repair shop with a~l work to be conducted entirely within the building. The applicant has another location, 401 North First Avenue, where the majority of his work is done. The proposed new location would serve as an overflow or accessory use to the present First Avenue location. The applicant has indicated that there would be no out- door storage of cars. J J-v j&t~~l\ 1\ . . . C.V.P. 72-10 2 Code requires a total of six (6) parking spaces,based upon the combined uses of the building. Proposed are a total of four (4).parking spaces. Two of the proposed parking spaces would be located directly in front of two overhead garage-type doors and the fourth space would be located directly in front of the cabinet office door. It, was noted during two field checks that the cabinet shop did not have any cars parked upon the lot. In order to provide a better circulation and parking plan as well as additional landscaping and a Code approved tra~h enclosure, a reduction of, three parking spaces from the required six spaces would facilitate a better overail plan. In addition, the revised parking plan could be designed so as to provide direct access to the vacant portion without having a parking space directly in front of the overhead garage door. The Planning Department wouid not object to having parking spaces located in front of the overhead garage doors nor a reduction of three parking spaces. . Other deficiencies noted in the applicant's plot plan include: 1. No trash area enclosure indicated. 2. No landscaping indicated. A minimum, of 3% should be provided in the front yard area. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends that this applica- tion be .approved subj ect to the following conditions: .,'1 2. ~~L this conditional use permit will apply to the entire lot including the cabin~t shop operation. ~all automotive work shall be done within the enclosed building. _ .~ ~~h' l~~~t~ ' t. . ~1~~ ~~ ~~:~~"~'~:A:~!!o~: ~ ~~e: ~~~R~pa~: r~'k-ed on thp- pll'h1;e 8l~o;;;o~LIS. 1. 3. 4. ~a revised plot plan indicating three (3) percent landscaping and a better parking pian delineation shall be submitted. . . . .
