SECTION 1. That the factual data provided by the Development Services
Department in the staff report dated October 27, 2009 are true and correct.
SECTION 2. This Commission finds:
1. That the granting of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09 -09 will not be
detrimental to the public health or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements
in such zone or vicinity because the proposed project is a minor alteration of an existing
facility and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class
3 Categorical Exemption per Section No. 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines.
2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is a proper 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. All yards, spaces, walls, fences, loading, landscaping and other
features including the shared parking with the other businesses in the same center, are
adequate to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood. The proposed
project complies with all related zoning requirements as set forth in the Arcadia
Municipal Code.
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 Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09 -09 will not adversely
affect the comprehensive General Plan because the land use and current zoning are
consistent with the General Plan.
