C.U.P.-70-l0 TEEN CENTER 909 SOUTH SANTA ANITA AVENUE ZONE C-2 1,Q \ ;/ ((~ \ " APPLICATION This application, filed on 24 July 1970, in the name'of Robert A. Bonsack for Parent and Teen Help (PATH, Inc.), proposes to open a Teen Center in the former Arcadia Tribune Building which is owned by Twin Coast Newspapers, Inc. PRESENT ZONXNG AND LAND USE The subject site is the former location of the Arcadia Tribune and is zoned C-2. The Santa Anita Golf Course is north of the site in zone S-2, mixed commercial buildings are east and south of the site in C-2 & Hand C-2 zones. Apartments are to the west of the subject site in C-2 zone (see "Land Use and Zoning liIap"). PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The apPlicant proposes to utilize the former Arcadia Tribune building by operating it asa Teen Center. Although the general membership is estimated to be approximately 400 teenagers, it is not anticipated that there will be that many on the premises at anyone time. The area of the subject site is approximately 25,500 square feet with the building having a gross floor area of 11,895 square feet. The proposal indicates twenty-four (24) parking spaces which are ten (10) feet wide. Staff recommends that the applicant's proposed 'parking plan be modified to concur with the minimUm width requirement of eight and one-half (8~) feet; thus, creating an additional four (4) parking spaces, or a total of 28 possibie parking stalls. According to the Police Department (see attached memorandum from Police Chief Robert S. Seares) and the applicant, this operation caters to the non-driving, younger teenager. Appar- ently, this type of operation does not appeal to the teenager who has access to an automobile: He would prefer to go to Pasadena or elsewhere of of the City. staff recommends that relief be granted from the remaining thirty two (32) spaces. Staff also recommends that a loading zone be provided in front of the building for the dropping off and picking up of teenagers. . . . Conditional Use Permit No. C.U.P.-70-l0 11 At<gust 1970 Page Two In its present condition. the easterly wall is in a state of disrepair and does not completely extend to the southerly property line. Staff recommends that the wall be repaired and extended to the southerly wall so as to provide minimum access by users of the Center to the neighboring apartments. The applicant proposes to have a 3 foot by 40 foot wall sign which would comply with the Code requirements. Code requires that three per cent of the interior of a paI'ldng area should be landscaped. Inasmuch as there is no landscaping in the proposed parking area. Staff recommends tKat the parking area be provided with three per cent land- scaping. An irrigation plan is also required to be submitted to the Planning Department. .

August 5, 1970 TO: Planning Department FROM: Department of Public Works SUBJECT: CUP 7Q-10 - Teen Center Plans for the proposed Teen Center have been reviewed by the Public Works Department and the following should be made a condition of approval of the Conditional Use Permit: Remove the dilapidated wooden sheds on the West side of the btiilaing as they do not meet building cO,de requirements and constitute a fire hazard. ~%~ CHESTER N, HOWARD, Director of Public Works CNH/CC/fn . . . ,1UG - (;;"1 ,. I .~. t" /- \ '~;:...'''. I ,:", ~~.:< . MEMO TO: Miss Sheryl Lindrooth, Planning Assistant FROM: R. S. Seares, Chief of Police DATE: August 5, 1970 The proposal by PATH (Parent and Teen Heip) to operate a teen center in the 'former Arcadia Tribune building at 909 South Santa Anita Avenue is not expected to create any unusual police problems. It appears that the proposed operation will be a continuation of the operation recently ended at 141 Eaat Huntington Drive. The new location, in our opinion, is more suitable for a teen center than the premises recently vacated. . Present plans call for the new center to open on, or about September 8, 1970 and for the hours of operation to be from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesdaysand Thursda}19 and 6 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. A paid (by PATH) manager will be on the premiaes at all times the center is in operation. Additionally chaperones also will be present. The number of chaperones will vary depending upon the day of the week, special events planned, etc. Based on the center's experience at its Huntington Drive location we can anticipate that most of those participating in the center's activities will be young teenagers. Although the center will be open to thoae betWeen the ages of 15 and 19, in order to cover the ninth through twelfth grade paat experience indicates high school juniors and aeniors are ,in the minority. This, of course, means that most of the participants are, not yet able to drive automobiles and this is expected to alleviate any problem which might be anticipated due to the limited parking facilities . In a recent meeting with one of the representatives of PATH it was suggested that a passenger loading zone be established in front of the building to facilitate the discharge and pickup of younger members by their parents. This suggestion should be forwarded to the Public Works Department, . , " . . . Page 2. Adequate lighting should be provided in the parking area and in any o,ther open portions of the property which will be accessible to young people. PATH representatives have also been advised to establiah clear cut rules prohibiting loitering in theae areas and that they should'take a firm atand from the ope ning day in the enforcement of such rules. . . . .
