Dated: 14 May 1971 . PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CllY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA ~ '71~ /:1- CARL MOOERS, Secretary of the Arcadia Planning Commission ~,' . . . 25 May 1971 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. C.U.P.-70-18 AUTOMOBILE SERVICE STATION AND RESTAURANT 600 - 618 NORTH SANTA ANITA AVENUE ZONE M-l APPLICATION This application originally filed on 16 December 1970, was allowed continuance by the applicant's request, to be heard at a later date. This application, in the name of Harker Development ,Corporation, . now proposes to build a gasoline service station and a restaurant at 600 - 618 North Santa. Anita Avenue. . PRESENT LAND USE AND ZONING The subject site is zoned M-l. The north portion of the subject lot is occupied by an apartment while the south portion is occupied by single, family dwellings. The north- eastern. portion of the ,site is vacant. The' Foothill Freeway is north of the subject site. The Southern California Seryice Center of the U. S. Forest Service and apartments are west of the site in R-l and R-3 zones. Apartments are south of the site in Zone'M-l. To the east of the site'are single family residential homes in Zone M-l. (s,ee attached, Land Use and Zoning Map). PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The. applicant proposes to build a service station and a restaurant on a site of' approximately 48,000 square feet. The floor area, of the proposed restaurant is to be 3808 square feet and that of the automobile service station is to be 2111 square feet. . The Preliminary General Plan indicates high density residential (20+ D.U./acre) for the area of the subject'site. The applicant's development would therefore be contrary to' the Preliminary General .Plan. The proposed development is substandard in_that it does not provide for the required number of parking stalls. The Plot Plan indicates 50 parking stalls while Code requires 54 parking stalls. . . . C.U.P.-70-18 -2- 25 May 1971 Staff feels that it is the intent of the Ordinance to provide adequate parking stalls for restaurants and service stations even when located in Zone M-L Inasmuch as more than 50% of the parking stalls indicated on the Plot Plan are substandard in terms of stall widths required for commercially zoned properties, Staff would require nine foot wide stalls with hairpin stripes. The Plot Plan indicates two (2) 25 foot high free- standing signs. These signs fail to meet Zone M-l Code requirements that only, "Orie (1) square foot of sign area may be used for each two (2) lineal feet of building frontage. Every sign shall be located flat against the facad,e of the building." . The proposed development is substandard in terms of setback required by Code. The applicant's Plot Plan indicates a setback of 65 feet (from street center line) for the restaurant and approximately 6'8 feet for the service station canopy. Code requires an 85 foot setback, a diff- erence of 20 feet and 17 feet respectively. Also, the Plot Plan fails to clearly indicate the location of landscaping. Code requires that plant areas and islands, shall be surrounded by a raised concrete curb: This is not indicate,d. The Staff also wishes to point out that this particular intersection will be totally affected by the freeway inter- change. Until the interchange is completed, it is difficult to assess the impact of the freeway on this general area. It is the Staff's belief that a new environment will be created by the freeway; thus, two possibilities appear to be significant: 1. Completion of the freeway should be ~ndertaken before the application is granted so that the City can evaluate the changes the-freeway brings to the area; . 2. Th~ proposed use may be of too small a scale to efficiently utilize this land,. If the second occurance above happens, the City faces the danger of letting the site be pre-empted by an inferior use. Under these conditions, the proposed development may be a detriment to all future development. RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff recommends denial of this application. This recommendation ,is based upon the belief that the best . . . C.U.P.-70-18 -3- 25 May 1971 use of this site should occur and that the freeway should be completed befElre a decisiEln is made. At the same time, it would appear to the Staff that the propEl sed use will not take advantage of the full developmental possibilities of the site. Finally, Staff finds that the applicant's proposed develop- ment is substandard in terms of parking spaces, signs, re- quired setback, landscaping and does not conform to the Pre- liminary General Plan, The Planning Department recommends that this application be denied. However, if the Planning Commission wishes to approve this application, the follElwing recommendatiElns should be made conditions of approval: 1. ConditiElns as outlined in the attached report from the Department of Public Works shall be complied with to the satisfaction Elf the Director of Public Works. . 2. All signs shall comply with existing sign regulations. 3. Setback shall comply with Code. 4. The applicant shall prepare and submit a revised parking, irrigation, and landscaping plan to the Planning Departme~t for its approval. 5. Trash area shall be completely screened from public view by an enclosure of which three (3) sides shall consist of six (6) foot high decorative masonry walls, or other approved screening devices. 6. The applicant shall 'provide solid decorative screening which shall screen the entrance to all restrooms and shall meet the approval of ' the Planning Department 7. All merchandise, wares, and crate,s, in the form of temporary and permanent storage or display shall be within the building. 8. All required walls shall be ornamental in nature. 9. Lighting shall comply with Code. . PLANNING DEPARTMENT CARL MOOERS, DIRECTOR ~a, BRENT A. AUTLER, ASSISTANT PLANNER CM:BM; sm Attachment . . . . .
