WHEREAS, Standard Oil Company of California on August 13, 1971, filed an application for a conditional use permit, Planning Department Case No. 71-16, for an automobile service station on property known as 909 South Santa Anita Avenue, more particularly described as follows: . That portion of Lot 3, Tract No. 950, in the City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, as per map recorded in Book 17, Page 25 of Maps in the office of the County Recorder of said County, described as follows: Beginning at a point in the easterly line of said lot, distant northerly thereon 239.97 feet from the southeasterly corner of said lot; thence westerly at right angles to said easterly line 150.00 feet; thence northerly parallel with said easterly line of said lot 184.57 feet, more or less, to a line parallel with and distant 15.00 feet southerly, measured at right angles, from, the northerly line of said lot; thence easterly along said last men~ioned parallel line 130.00 feet to the beginning of a tangent curve concave southwesterly having a radius of 20.00 feet,' said curve being also tangent at its southerly terminus to the easterly line of said Lot 3, thence e'asterly and southerly along said curve 31.42 feet to its point of tangency with the easterly line; thence southerly,along said easterly line 164.97 feet to the point of beginning; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on said matter before the Planning Commission on October 12, 1971, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. . NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA HEREBY DETERMINES AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: -1- 752 .' . . .. '. SECTION 1. The subject site is zoned C-2 and is located at the southwesterly corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Campus Drive and is presently developed with anll,460 square foot, one-story building and related off-street parking facilities. The Santa Anita Golf Course is northerly of the site in a S-2 zone. Mixed commercial . buildings are east and south of the s,ite in a C-2 & H zone and a C-2 zone. Apartments occupy a parcel to the west and immediately adjacent to the subject site. Arcadia High School occupies property to the west of said apartments. ,The applicant proposes to remove existing improvements'and construct a service station. SECTION 2,. This Commission finds that the circulation . of, vehicular traffic in the immediate vicinity of the subject site is from time-to-time extremely congested and that this, in connec- tion with the large amount of pedestrian traffic generated by the Arcadia High School, creates a condition in the vicinity of said site that makes it unsuitable as a location for an automobile ' service ,station; that said use would substantially increase the traffic hazard to pedestrians using adjacent sidewalks and streets;' further, an automobile service station at this location would not . be in conformance with the proposed general plan, Further, there is no substantial evidence to support a finding that the proposed use is essential or desirable to the public convenience or welfare and therefore this Commission finds that the proposed use is not essential or desirable to the public convenience or welfare. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this Commis- sion denies a conditional use permit as requested by the applicant. SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the ..' , City Council of the City o,f Arcadia. -2- 752 j. \' ~ . . .. .

The-applicant proposes to develop a thtee bay service station. The plot plan indicates reasonable conformity to' devel6pment standards required by the zoning ordinance. Land- scaping, irrigation, driveways and buildings are all withi~ code requirements. However, there are plan changes needed. These changes are listed below: 1. Plan indicates parki~g stalls 8 x 18 feet in size (zoning ordinance requires 9 x 20 foot stallsl. J) )'! \t\\i(.'r ~ '\ I, ';l . . . C.U.P. 71-16 2 2. Free standing sign at the intersection of Campus and South Santa Anita indicates 28 feet hi9h (zoning ordinance permits 25 foot height limit). RECOMMENDATION The proposed service station us~ does not conform to the land use intensity indicated on the propos'ed General Plan which has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and is presently being cqnsidered by the City Council. This area is indicated on the General Plan as being an extension of Public Uses, i.e., either Arcadia High School, Cultural Center, or other public use fa~iltty. Based on the land use recommendations in the General Plan, the Planning Department recommends denial of the a p pI i ca t ion. Approval of this application would permit new and addi- tional land uses which do not conform with the proposed General Plan, thus acting as a serious detriment to the implementation of the Plan. . If approved, C.U.P. 71-16 shall comply with the following conditions: 1. All conditions as outlined in the attached report from the Department of Public Works shall be complied with to the satisfaction of. the Director of Public Works. 2.

PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AUTOMOBILE SERVICE STATION SANTA ANITA A VENUE AND CAMPUS DRIVE ANALYSIS DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST - In its Application, Standard Oil Com- pany is requesting approval of, a Conditional Use Permit to develope an Automobile Service Station facility on property generally located at the southwest~rly corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Campus Drive. In addition to the Application, Stand- ard Oil Company submits the following evidence supporting its request: 1. In the best interests of the community, approval of the requested Conditional Use Permi t \~ill provide the highest and best use of a present non-productive parcel of land. The sub- ject property is neither serving the existing use of land nor the present zone classification to its best advantage. There- fore, in order to eliminate a land use liability to the City of Arcadia and to better serve the general area, this Condi~ tional Use Permit will allol~ full utilization of the existing zoning pattern and balance the land use distribution. The sub- ject property would best serve'the community of this area by catering to the local service needs and the motoring public. 2. The property in question is more suitable for the pro- posed use than for the existing use because tt will be in the interests of furtherence of the general public welfare to im- prove the zoning pattern by providing well balanced uses of land. The subject property would provide for a new and attrac- tive commercial consumer complex that would eliminate economic stagnaSion and stimulate a healthier economy by creating a revenue producing asset to the community.

The proposed development will not be detrimcnt~l in any way to other neighboring properties because such develop- ment will be designed so as to blend with the surrounding ev- vironmental elements, be self-contained, set precedented phys- ical design features that will benefit and maintain the character of the area, broaden the tax base, and promote, stabilize and increase the value of property in the vacinity in which it is loca,ted. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY - The property under consideration is located in the C-2, general Commercial Zone at the southwesterly corner of Campus Drive (150 feet of street frontage) and Santa Anita Drive (185 feet of street frontage.) Said property is presently developed with an 11,460 square foot, one story, con- crete block building and related off-street parking facilities. The subject premises is being used by PATH Incorporated for a community teen center and related activities. REVIEW OF LAND USE AND TRAFFIC SAFETY ENGI~mERING: 1. h~ND USE - When considering the requested use of land, it must be taken into consideration whether or not the existing use has been effective in implementing and influencing develop- ment in the general vacinity, and also whether the property is realistically serving the community in terms of overall contrib- uted benefits. It is pointed out that the present land use has created a tendency to freeze development and not produce expected results. When applying the principals and practice of land use planning, approval of this Conditional Use Permit can be relied on as the major device for correcting the present land use defic- iency. 2. T&~FFIC SAFETY ENGI~mERING - Attached hereto and made a part of this analysis, is a Traffic Volume Flow Map which shows vehicular traffic movements, the counts of ~lhich l'lere taken at peak hours over a 12 hour period. Campus Drive and Santa Anita Avenue are designed, respectively, with pavement road surface markings and physical island channelized dividers, both streets of which are further controlled wi th si~,mali7.ed traffic control facilities, that regulate vehicular traffic trip destination movements. It is further pointed out, that although this type of trarfic control greatly reduces traffic safety hazards, there are no absolutely safe traffic control facilities. . . . ~ " .. .

CONCLUSION - The question lll",-y arise relative to the disposition of PATH Incorporated teen center. During the entire lease period to date, Standard Oil Company has not cashed rent pay- ments, and will return all uncashed checks in order that PATH Incorporated may have sufficient funds for relocation. Futher- more, upon Conditional Use Permit approval, Standard Oil Comp- any will discontinue its Automobile Service Station operation presently located at the corner of Baldwin Avenue and Camino Real Avenue. Approval of this requested permit will encourage activity that will produce a desirable pattern of growth and development. It will also encourage the most appropriate use of land, and conserve, stabilize and promote the value of property in the best interests of the Community. l>
