A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DENYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICATION NO. 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.
Passed, approved and adopted this 14th day of July, 2009. ,

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.

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

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

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.
For any questions or concerns, please contact Carole Walker, Redstone Commercial Real Estate
At 626-795-2255 office or 626-255-0100 cell.

EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE
To Whom It May Concern:
Chyten Educational Services is the premier tutoring and test preparation company in the greater Boston
area. 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. Email:

THE CHYTEN EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES CONCEPT IS SPECIALIZED,
PROVEN, AND BETTER.
The Chyten Educational Services concept
is different from that of other tutoring
and test preparation services. We only
employ tutors with a minimum of a master's
degree and prior teaching experience, giving
us a competitive advantage versus other
educational programs with lower standards
for instructors. We provide exclusive
programs, sound strategies that are skills
based, customized programs for each
student, and a guaranteed match between
student and teacher.
And, we get results: Chyten students
historically get better grades and higher
scores on standardized tests than those
who learn on their own or through other
programs.
THE CHYTEN EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES CENTER FORMAT IS
FLEXIBLE AND APPEALING.
With appealing, education-oriented decor,
Chyten centers create energy and make
students and their parents feel comfortable
and welcomed. The Chyten franchise is best
located in a high visibility site, close to local
schools. Recommended facilities typically
have approximately 1,000 to 2,500 square
feet of space, and are designed to include
a comfortable reception area as well as
tutoring areas and larger classrooms.
CHYTEN EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
IS A REWARDING BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY.
Private tutoring is a rapidly growing industry.'
The demand for private tutoring is driven by
many factors, including the federal govern-
ment's No Child Left Behind program, and
the desire by students and parents to improve
academic performance as a means of entry
into better universities and careers! The
Chyten opportunity gives you a chance to
address this growing need and work
with serious, quality-minded education
professionals. It is also a chance to join a
highly respected profession that allows
you to be involved in and give back to
your community.

ment and scheduling, allows for input of

A
HISTORY OF C H Y E N EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
Chyten Educational Services opened its first center in 1999, but Neil Chyten started building his business much earlier.
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. There is no doubt that this very special software system will be a vital tool for finding success with
the Chyten Educational System franchise program.
