June 28, 1966 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 66 - 12 745-747 WEST DUARTE ROAD APPLlCA TlON This application was filed in the nome of Crocker,'Citizens Notional Bank for the purpose of operating 0 bank with drive-in facilities at 745-747 West Duarte Rood. ZONING AND LAND USE The subject property is 0 vacant parcel in Zone C-2 and D. "The properties immediately adjacent to the subject property for 0 distance of 280 feet are also classified os Zone C-2 and D. Properties further to the west and north are Zoned ,R-3 and are developed with a mixture of multiple and single-family structures. The properties to the east and south ore Zone C-2 and developed with commercial structures, the only exception being 0 church building and on apartment house. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The prapo$ed development plan would comply with the zoning ,,;,quirements except in the following instances: 1. There is 0 six foot canopy encroachment into the required fifteen foot setback area. The canopy has a clearance from grade of 21 feet. 2. A six foot high wall is required along the rear property line, a four foot wall is indicated. 3. A four foot high ornamental masonry wall between the parking area and the planting area at the front of the site is required. 4. Proposed signs exceed the "D" regulations area requirement by 25 square feet. 5. A continuous planting strip of 10 feet is required along the rear property line. Three individual planting beds are proposed, 6. A loodingspace is required -none is indicated. - 1 - '" ~/' }ytV'f() ~ . . . C. U. P. 66-12 June 28, 1966 Page Two ,ANALYSIS Although banks under normal circumstances ore automatically permitted in Zone C-2, a Conditional Use Permit is required for the facility because 0 window for drive-in services to customers is proposed. One of the primary purposes 0 conditional use permit is required for this type facility is to insure that there is proper traffic circulation to the window in order that such use is not hormfu,' to adjacent properties and during periods of heavy use, public rights-of-way will be kept clear. The circulation proposed for this site would consist of 0 separate entrance alld exit on Duarte Rood. The manner in which the window is located on the exit drive will provide ample waiting area for automobiles durillg peak periods of use. Some deviations from, the code requirements were mentioned above and it might be well to comment on each os port of this analysis. . The six foot canopy encroachment into the required front setback is approximately 21 feet from grade. This feature is on architectural part of the ,structure whiCh, in the opinion of the Stoff would comply with the intent of the front setback.. The open space and landscaping ore supplied in the same proportion as would be provided without the canopy. This feature adds ornamentation and some protection to pedes- trians outside the structure. The requirement of 0 six foot wall along the rear property linej where 'four feet is proposed, is, essential for protection of the R-3 proper,ties. It is recommended that 011 wall requirements be complied with. The "D" regulations allow for only fifty-three feet of sign area. A seventy-one square foot free standing sign (35.5 sq. ft. per side) is proposed, plus seven square feet on the balance of the site. When the "D" regulations were imposep, a larger development encompassing 520 feet of frontoge'on Duarte Rood and greater building frontages were anticipated. Under normal C-2 regulations, two hundred eighty feet of sign area could be allowed. It would appear that the design and small size of the proposed signs wou Id not be detrimenta I to the area., . - 2 - ,- '. . . . . . C.U.P. 66-12 June 28, 1966 Pag e Th ree A continuous planter, ten feet wide is required, along the rear property line by the "0" regulations. Three individual planters are proposed with a combined area of approximately 1500 square feet. The two properties to the rear of the site in Zone R -3 are developed with single-family structures which are subject to development for apartments. The typical apartment development today places garages or carports across the rear of the property. Since the bank structure is located toward the front of the site and the parking lot is landscaped, the Staff recommends that additional landscaping is not necessary. With respect to the required loading space which is not indicated on the plan, the Staff is of the opinion that this con be provided without interferring with the parking requirement layout. As port of the conditional use permit requirement, the location and adjustment of the use to the area ore required to be justified. As port of the Planning Commission action on the recent zoning studies in this area, 0 functional use plan for the area was prepared. This plan proposed that properties including the subject property be used for office and service uses. The latter would inc'lude uses such os banks. The Staff feels this determination was appropriate and concludes that the location is appropriate. Furthermore, the setbacks and landscaping satisfactorily adjust the use to adjacent properties. RECOMMENDA TlON The Planning Department recommends that the application be approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. Construct full parkway width sidewalks,gravity drainage outlets, and driveway aprons to conform to Drawing No. 148 to the satisfaction of the Deportment of Public Works. 2. Driveway and parking areas shall be paved in conformance with the provisions of the Arcadia Municipal Code. 3. Install concrete bumpers in parking stalls. 4. Drainage sholl be approved by the Department of Public Works. 5. All utilities shall be underground. (NOTE: Underground service plans to be approved by Edison Company, upon applicant's submission, prior to commencement of final structural plan check.) -3- . . . .' . . . C.U.P.66-12 6.
