C.U.P.- 70-9 ' RESTAURANT 516 EAST LIVE OAK AVENUE ZONE C-2 APPLICATION This application, filed on 18 June 1970 in the name of Yet F. ,Wong, owner of the property at 516 East Live Oak Avenue, commonly known as the Arcadian Bar-B-Q, proposes to reopen and operate an existing restaurant. PRESENT ZONING AND LAND USE The subject site is an existing one-story vacant restaurant located on the southwest corner of Live Oak Avenue and Hempstead Avenue and is zoned C-2. A Texaco service station and a church are north in zones C-2 and R-2. Mixed commercial buildings are east and west in zone C-2. Single family residential homes are south and located in the County of Los Angeles (see attached Land Use and Zoning ~lap). PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The subject site is an irregularly shaped parcel containing approximately 9,835 feet, with the existing building having a gross floor area of approximately 2,130 square feet. The applicant proposes to remove an existing garden wall at the front of the building and reopen a restaurant. The proposed development is substandard in that it does not provide the required screening of the mechanical equipment on the roof. In addition, the proposed five (5) foot landscape border and three (3) foot wall facing Hempstead Avenue both project into the ingress driveway, resulting in a vehicular hazard which could jeopardize the safety and welfare of the public.' Staff recommends that this driveway opening be modified in a manner meeting with the approval of the Director of Public Works. Inasmuch as the Ordinance states that a free-standing sign may extend a maximum distance of one (1) foot into a public way, and inasmuch as the free-standing sign is located in the public right-of~way, Staff recommends that this sign be removed. Also, the proposed wall sign facing Live'Oak Avenue contains a total" area of approximately 238 square feet, .whereas, a maximum area of 94 square feet would be permitted by code. Finally, although this proposal indicates nineteen (19) parking spaces in lieu of the twenty-two (22) required, it is the opinion ,-J-. of the Planning Department that the Planning Commission could grant ~"', r 1 relief from the additional three (3) required parking spaces. 10 {lY-~ . . . . .
