CUP 09-10 TO OPERATE A TUTORING CENTER WITH A MAXIMUM OF EIGHT (8) STUDENTS IN A 2,000 SQUARE- FOOT COMMERCIAL UNIT AT 34 E. HUNTINGTON DRIVE. WHEREAS, on May 26, 2009, an application was filed by Robert Granger of Golden State Education Associates, Inc., for a tutoring center with a maximum of 8 students in a 2,000 square-foot commercial unit; Development Services Department Case No. CUP 09-10, at 34 E. Huntington Drive; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 23, 2009, 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 RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Development Services Department in the report dated June 23, 2009 are true and correct. SECTION 2. This Commission finds: A. That the granting of this Conditional Use Permit would be detrimental to the public health and welfare and injurious to the property and improvements in such zone or vicinity because there is inadequate on-site circulation to facilitate the dropping-off and picking-up of children. B. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized. C. That the site for the proposed use is inadequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use; the site does not provide for a sufficient pick-up and drop-off area. 1797 D. That the site abuts a street that is inadequate in width to carry the kind of traffic that would be generated by the proposed use. E. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan. F. That the categorical exemption determination is appropriate under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, but the project was not approved, and therefore, a Notice of Exemption is not required. SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission denies Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 09-10, for a tutoring center with a maximum of 8 students in a 2,000 square-foot commercial unit at 34 E. Huntington Drive. SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

Huntington Drive SUMMARY Mr. Robert Granger of Golden State Education Associates, Inc. submitted Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 09-10 to operate a tutoring center at 34 E. Huntington Drive. It is staff's opinion that the limited proposal is appropriate for the location and will not have any adverse impacts upon the neighboring properties. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of CUP 09-10, and the related Parking Modification, subject to the conditions in this staff report. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Mr. Robert Granger (Lessee, dba: Golden State Education Associates, Inc. - Chyten Educational Services) LOCATION: 34 E. Huntington Drive REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit to operate a tutoring center with a maximum of eight students in an existing 2,250 square-foot commercial space SITE AREA: 7,340 square feet (0.17 acre) FRONTAGES: 50 feet along Huntington Drive 50 feet along an alley EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is developed with a one-story, 4,500 square-foot commercial building constructed in 1927 and is zoned CBD - Central Business District SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Commercial Offices and Retail -zoned CBD South: Multiple-Family Dwellings - zoned R-3 East: Commercial Offices and Retail - zoned CBD West: Beauty Salon - zoned CBD GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial PUBLIC HEARING NOTIFICATION Public hearing notices of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09-10 were mailed on June 12, 2009 to the property owners, tenants and occupants of those properties that are within 300 feet of the subject property (see the attached radius map). Because staff considers the proposed project exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the public hearing notice was not published in the Arcadia Weekly newspaper. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS The proposal is to operate a tutoring center that would occupy a 2,250 square-foot unit of an existing two-unit, 4,500 square-foot commercial building at 34 E. Huntington Drive. A tutoring center is a permitted use in the CBD - Central Business District zone with an approved conditional use permit. The students will be of middle school and high school age, with a maximum attendance of eight (8) students at any time. Tutoring sessions will occur mostly on a one-on-one basis with occasional group practice testing sessions. The tutoring and practice-test taking will occur during the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekends. Administrative office hours will be from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. There will be a maximum of eight (8) part-time instructors and not more than one (1) administrative employee at any time. The 2,250 square-foot commercial unit will be remodeled to provide eight (8) private tutoring rooms, an administrative office, a lobby, and a test taking room that will be used for occasional group practice testing. This room will not be used during private tutoring sessions, and attendance will not exceed a maximum of eight (8) students at any time. Parking There are ten (10) on-site parking spaces accessible from a rear alley, and one (1) space in the City's public parking lot is allotted to this property. The 2,250 square- foot space for the proposed tutoring center was previously occupied by a printing shop, and the other 2,250 square-foot space is occupied by a beauty salon. By Code, these uses required a total of 23 parking spaces. Therefore, there was a legal-nonconforming parking deficiency of 12 spaces. For a tutorial center with students of driving age, the Code requires one (1) parking space per employee plus one (1) space for every three (3) students. Under this regulation, the proposed tutoring center with a maximum of eight (8) students and nine (9) employees would require 12 parking spaces. In combination with the beauty salon in the other 2,250 square-foot space, the total parking requirement is 23 spaces. The proposed tutoring center does not change the parking requirement from that of the prior occupancies. The proposed tutoring center will not increase the legal-nonconforming parking deficiency of 12 spaces; however, because the use is changing, a Parking Modification of 11 spaces in lieu of 23 spaces is being requested in conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit. The applicant states in the proposal that the employees will use the City's public parking lot on the north side of Huntington Drive in order to make the on-site parking available for customers. In this case, only three (3) on-site parking spaces would be needed for the students of the tutoring center. In order to alleviate the demand for the on-site parking, staff recommends a condition of approval requiring that all employees park their vehicles in the City parking lot. The applicant has stated that in the student's registration packet, it will be specified that all drop-off and pick-up of students is to be performed in the rear parking area, and that it is illegal to double-park on Huntington Drive. Staff recommends that there be a condition of approval that requires that a draft of the drop-off and pick-up agreement that is to be signed by the clients be subject to City review and approval. Given the limited number of students, and the proposed parking arrangement for the employees, the proposed tutoring center should not have any adverse impact upon the neighboring businesses. It is staff's opinion that the proposal would satisfy all the prerequisite conditions for a Conditional Use Permit. CODE REQUIREMENTS All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits, building safety, parking and site design shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director. CUP 09-10 34 E. Huntington Dr. June 23, 2009 Page 3 CEQA Proposed projects that are not approved, are by virtue of being denied, exempt from any further environmental assessment. If approved, however, and if it is determined that this project involves negligible or no expansion of the use of the property, then this project is categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301. A Preliminary Exemption Assessment has been prepared and is attached to this staff report. FINDINGS Section 9275.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code requires that for a Conditional Use Permit to be granted, it must be found that all of the following prerequisite conditions can be satisfied: That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. 2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is properly one for which a Conditional Use Permit is authorized. 3. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use, and all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and other features required to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. 4. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the kind of traffic generated by the proposed use. 5. That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan. RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 09-10, subject to the following conditions: 1. There shall be no more than eight (8) students and nine (9) employees at any one time at the tutoring center. 2. The tutoring and practice-test taking sessions shall occur during the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekends. 3. All employees of the tutoring center shall park in the City's public parking lot. CUP 09-10 34 E. Huntington Dr. June 23, 2009 Page 4 4. The tutoring center shall prepare an agreement to be signed by its clients that states that the clients acknowledge and accept the requirement that all pick- ups and drop-offs are to be done at the on-site parking area to the rear of the tutoring center. A draft of this agreement shall be submitted to the City for review and approval by the Development Services Director or designee prior to occupancy. 5. The tutoring center shall be operated and maintained in a manner that is consistent with the proposal and plans submitted and approved for Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09-10. 6. A Parking Modification for 11 spaces (ten (10) on-site spaces and one (1) space in the City's public parking lot) in lieu of 23 spaces is granted for this tutoring center and the existing beauty salon/retail use. This Parking Modification does not constitute an approval for a general reduction of the parking requirements for the subject property, but rather only for the tutoring center that is herein conditionally approved and the existing retail use. Uses other than this tutoring center and/or retail use may be subject to a new Conditional Use Permit and/or Parking Modification. 7. All City code requirements regarding accessibility, fire protection, occupancy, and safety shall be complied with to the satisfaction of Building Services and the Fire Department. 8. Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09-10 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of any approvals, which could result in the closing of the tutoring center. 9. Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09-10 shall not take effect until the property owner(s) and applicant have executed and filed an Acceptance Form available from the Development Services Department to indicate acknowledgement and acceptance of these conditions of approval. 10. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Arcadia and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, action, or proceeding against the City of Arcadia, its officers, employees or agents to attack, set aside, void, or annul any approval or condition of approval of the City of Arcadia concerning this project and/or land use decision, including but not limited to any approval or condition of approval of the City Council, Planning Commission, or City Staff, which action is brought within the time period provided for in Government Code Section 66499.37 or other provision of law applicable to this project or decision. The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any claim, action, or proceeding concerning the project and/or land use decision and the City shall cooperate fully in the defense of the matter. The City reserves the right, at its own option, to choose its own CUP 09-10 34 E. Huntington Dr. June 23, 2009 Page 5 attorney to represent the City, its officers, employees, and agents in the defense of the matter. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Approval If the Planning Commission intends to approve this proposal, the Commission should move to approve Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 09-10, state the supporting findings; and direct staff to prepare a resolution incorporating the Commission's decision, specific determinations and findings, and the conditions of approval for adoption at the next meeting. Denial If the Planning Commission intends to deny this proposal, the Commission should move to deny Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 09-10, state the finding(s) that the proposal does not satisfy, and direct staff to prepare a resolution incorporating the Commission's decision and specific findings for adoption at the next meeting. If any Planning Commissioner, or other interested party has any questions or comments regarding this matter prior to the June 23rd public hearing, please contact Associate Planner, Thomas Li at (626) 574-5447, or tli ci.arcadia.ca.us.

Associate Planner Redstone MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Department FROM : Carole Walker DATE: May 1, 2009 RE: Conditional Use Permit - 34 East Huntington Drive I am enclosing an information packet and a letter from Chyten explaining their history and services. Also, I am enclosing information necessary for obtaining a C.U.P. The quality and types of Tenants along East Huntington Drive have greatly improved. Chyten would be another quality Tenant in that area. Pictures of their current facilities show a professionally designed interior conducive to a learning environment. One of Chyten's main goals is to be good neighbors and to abide by regulations of the City's in which they locate. Parking for these facilities have never been an issue in Chyten's other locations. Their employees will park in the City public parking area on the north side of Huntington. The other parking at the rear of the building shall be for students that drive to the location and for pick-up and drop off of the other students brought by parents. In their registration packet, Chyten will specify that all students dropped off shall be at the rear of the building and also advise prospective parents and students not to double park on Huntington Drive. They have eight one on one tutoring rooms and a testing area which are not used at the same time. If testing is being administered, there is no tutoring planned. Chyten's choices of locations are well thought out and planned. Arcadia was chosen for it's demographics and parent involvement in the student educational process with regard to higher education. The owner of the building, Faye Stabler, who has owned the building for 33 years would like to have Chyten as a Tenant. She is asking the staff and planning commission to consider this use for her building and that the findings through the Conditional Use Process will be favorable.

Neil Chyten, the company's founder and President, has developed, over the past twenty-five years, very successful learning strategies and test taking strategies which have helped Chyten achieve unparalleled success and attain a reputation as the finest service of its kind in the country. As stated by Harvard University Dean of Admissions, Marlyn McGrath Lewis, "I've never heard anything but very high praise and gratitude from both students and their parents." Chyten is the only franchise of its kind in America and has established a whole new way of doing business in the supplemental education industry. Chyten brings to California a new style of curriculum and individualized one on one tutoring by tutors who all must have at least a Masters Degree and teaching experience. Chyten has set new standards in the tutoring and test preparation industry. Chyten centers are professionally designed with an emphasis on providing an educationally conducive atmosphere and a sense of security for every student. We are very selective about our locations and our franchise owners. We look for professional people to bring the Chyten methods to students in a professional manner and in a professional atmosphere. Our administrative hours are generally 9:30am - 5:30pm M-F. Our tutoring takes place primarily from 3pm-9pm M-F and from 9am - 5pm on weekends. Since 90% of what we do is individualized one on one tutoring, our centers are always quiet, safe and well kept facilities. The target market for our services is middle school to high school students who are on a college track. Thus, we generally have a respectful, intelligent and motivated student in our centers. As we have opened 16 franchise locations in 8 states in the last 16 months, we have been very careful about the quality of our franchise owner and in the ability to provide the backup and support to help our owners successfully operate our franchise locations. There is nothing like Chyten anywhere in the country and we hope to make our services available to students in the Arcadia area to help them achieve and hopefully exceed their potential - one student at a time. I hope this overview provides you with a look into the Chyten philosophy and the Chyten franchise model. If you have further questions or need additional information, please contact me directly.

We provide exclusive programs, sound strategies that are skills based, customized programs for each student, and a guaranteed match between student and teacher.

Boston Sunday Globe "If studying up is the name of the game in getting a leg up over the competition, local students might consider another name toward that end - Chyten Educational Services." Lexington Minuteman "I've never heard anything but very high praise and gratitude from both students and their parents." Marlyn McGrath Lewis Harvard University Dean ofAdmissions "The Chyten course helps (students) focus their attention on the task at hand, improves preparation, and instills confdence - a needed attribute when one enters some foreboding test center with #2 pencils at the ready." Tom Walsh, Jr. Roxbury Latin School's Director of College Admissions "So often we hear numbers and guarantees thrown around frivolously and recklessly.

I must say our experience with Chyten has been exceptional one." "Your program was recommended to us by another parent and we are now strong advocates, as well. Our youngest daughter, who is 2 years behind Alex, will definitely make use of your services." "Consider yourself a miracle worker. We are SO grateful for all that you've done for him! If you or Chyten ever need ringing endorsements, please let us know. Thank you again and againM" "I had actually called another company at the same time 1 called Chy- ten to compare offerings, but after a short conversation with Flora and a short conversation with the other company, it was apparent to me that there was no comparison and I gracefully ended my conver- sation with the other company. Her attentiveness to my needs is really what drove me to choose Chyten; the results from Alex's testing is what will have me coming back." "Thank you so much for all your help. He very much enjoyed working with you. Somehow you were able to explain things to him in a way he could really understand." `I just wanted to take the time to thank you for everything you did for me since November. What did you seriously do to me? I honestly can't believe it. I went from like a 400-500 score to a high 600 and low 700. I owe these scores to your help and guidance. I am thrilled and extremely happy and my parents are ever so grateful to you." "We are so happy with the results. He kept rechecking them just to make sure they were right. He got a 700 on reading and an 800 on writing. I hope you will also be able to tutor my sophomore daughter when the time comes."

After graduating from the University of Massachusetts and majoring in English, Neil Chyten took a job working for an education company teaching a Reading and Study Skills program. Neil found success as a teacher, but he thought the product was mediocre. In addition, Neil felt strongly that one contributing factor to the program's weakness was that the teachers were not actually trained how to teach. Neil spent several years studying the finer points of teaching. From 1981-1984, Neil studied and eventually produced his own product called "RANDD," Reading and Development. He used this product to teach College Study Seminars. In these classes, Neil taught high school students as well as new college students how to study more effectively. While Neil was teaching his College Study Seminars, one school asked him to create a PSAT program. Neil wrote a new program and delivered it with great success. For Neil, this highlighted his awareness of the great need for a high quality test prep program. In 1985, Neil began tutoring students one on one for test prep. As his reputation grew, it became impossible for Neil to service all of the students who came to him. He realized that he needed to hire additional tutors, which he did in 1997. Finally, in 1999, Neil set upon office where students could come in rather than having tutors going out to various locations. The first Chyten Educational Services center opened in Newton, Massachusetts in 1999. In its original configuration, all available rooms were often filled to capacity. So, Neil reconfigured the space to accommodate 4 more students at anyone time. Still, there were many times when all rooms were occupied. To handle the demand for its services, several additional Chyten Educational Services centers opened throughout Massachusetts in the following years. The Wellesley location opened in 2000; Lexington opened in June 2002; Concord opened in August 2003 and Westwood opened in February 2005. As the number of locations grew, so did the staff necessary to handle the upsurge in student activity. Neil Chyten knew his business was booming, but he also realized he needed to create a system to help keep his business efficient and accessible. He wanted a tool that could collect necessary information and make it accessible to the appropriate people. In 2002, Neil began to develop an internet based software system that would maintain student records, schedule sessions, fulfill accounting needs, and offer tutor selection. This system would eventually become the Student Manager system. By 2004, Neil was ready to rollout the first piece of the system by offering the scheduling and tutor net system. The Student Manager software system has continued to improve and grow over the years. To date, Neil has spent over $300,000 and 10,000 hours to develop and perfect this one of a kind system. Today, the proprietary 3 Tier Software System, (Student Manager, Tutor Net, and Parent Net), available only to the Chyten franchise owner, is the most unique and advanced software program in the tutoring industry.
