SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
STAFF REPORT
Development Services Department
FROM: Jim Kasama, Community Development Ad ator
By: Silva Vergel, Business License Officer
SUBJECT: An Appeal of a business license revocation for noncompliance with the
City of Arcadia Massage Therapist and Business License regulations
by Ifitness Beauty Spa at 133 E. Huntington Dr.
At the request ,of the Arcadia Police Department, the Business License Office on
May 17, 2010 revoked the business license for (fitness Beauty Spa at 133 E.
Huntington Drive for noncompliance with the City of Arcadia Massage Therapist and
Business License regulations. The revocation notice is attached as Exhibit 'A'. Mr.
Qiang Zhao, the owner and operator of Ifitness Beauty Spa filed an appeal of the
revocation on May 25, 2010. The appeal letter is attached as Exhibit 'B', and the
Police Department's revocation request and reports are attached as Exhibit 'C'. The
Development Services Department is recommending that the Business Permit and
License Review Board deny the appeal and uphold the revocation.
Ordinance No. 2263 was adopted on December 1, 2009 and designated the
Planning Commission as the Business Permit and License Review Board (Board).
The Board serves to hear appeals of business license denials and revocations. The
Board is the first arbiter of appeals and the Board's decision may be appealed to the
City Council.
Prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2263, the appeals of business permit and
license denials, revocations and suspensions were heard by a Business Permit and
License Review Board that was comprised of City staff; the Administrative Services
Director or designee, the Fire Chief or designee, and the Public Works Services
Director or designee. In this format, the Business Permit and License Review Board
served as an advisory body that provided technical assistance to the Business
License Officer for the review of certain permit and license applications and to the
City Council on appeals. This was a cumbersome arrangement, and the City
Council amended the composition of the Business Permit and License Review
Board by designating the Planning Commission as the Business Permit and License
Review Board and amended its duties from an advisory role to a decision making
body with the authority to hear and act upon business permit and license appeals.
Revocation and Appeal Process
Per Arcadia Municipal Code Section 6216.7, the Business License Officer may
suspend or revoke any business license upon receipt of information from any source
that any of the following has occurred:
(1) The holder of the license, or his or her employee, agent, partner,
director, officer, controlling stockholder or manager has knowingly
made any false, misleading or fraudulent statement of material facts in
the application for the license or permit, or in any report or record
required to be filed with the City's Police Department, County Health
Department, or any other City Department or office in connection with
the operation of the business; or
(2) The business has been expanded, or partially or wholly converted to
another business without the required City approvals and permits; or
The holder of the license has violated any of the conditions of said
license, or has violated or permitted to be violated any law or laws of
the United States or the State, or any ordinance applicable to the
premises where the business covered by said license is conducted, or
in connection with said business; or
(3)
(4) The holder of the license, or his or her employee, agent, partner,
director, officer, controlling stockholder or manager has, in the conduct
of the same or any similar business, been guilty of fraud,
misrepresentation or conduct detrimental to the public welfare which
includes operations or activities that do not comport with the peace,
health, safety and convenience of the public such as (a) operation of a
business prohibited by local or state law (b) allowance of activities that
are or become a public nuisance which includes the disruptive conduct
of business patrons whether on or immediately off the premises where
such patrons disturb the peace, obstruct traffic, damage property,
engage in criminal conduct, violate the law and otherwise impair the
free enjoyment of life and property.
Subsequent to the issuance of a revocation and within ten (10) days, an applicant or
business licensee may file an appeal to the Business Permit and License Review
Board (Board) and within 30 days or as soon thereafter as possible, a hearing shall
be conducted by the Board. Any Board member who has any financial interest in

133 E. Huntington Drive
June 22, 2010 Page 2
the outcome of the hearing or is unable to make a fair, impartial and unbiased
determination shall not participate in either the hearing of in any determination or
recommendation after the hearing.
During the hearing, all parties involved shall have the right to offer testimonial,
documentary, and tangible evidence bearing upon the issues and may be
represented by counsel. The Board shall not be bound by the formal rules of
evidence and may require the presentation of additional evidence from any party
involved. Any hearing under this Section may be continued for a reasonable time
for the convenience of a party or witness at the request of the applicant or licensee,
or any other party. Extensions of time or continuances sought by an applicant or
licensee shall not be considered delay on the part of the City and shall not be
deemed to constitute failure by the City to provide for a prompt decision.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board shall, by a majority vote of the members
present at the hearing, order that the license be revoked, suspended, reinstated, or
reinstated contingent upon the applicant or licensee performing some remedial
action such as, but not limited to, paying a fine or penalty. The Board may also
prevent the holder of a revoked or suspended license from applying for a new
license within one year or such other certain, specified reasonable time period as
the Board deems prudent.
Within ten (10) days of receiving notice of the Board's decision, the holder of the
revoked license, any member of the City Council, any affected City Department
Head, or any other business or resident of the City may appeal the decision by filing
an appeal to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
Beginning in the summer of 2008 and in response to a proliferation of
establishments offering massage services, a team of inspectors comprised of
various City department staff members conducted a series of inspections of over 40
such establishments. Most of the businesses were given notices of numerous
violations and many of the businesses corrected those violations, but several
businesses did not make the required corrections even after being issued citations;
and those businesses had their licenses revoked. Of those eight (8) businesses;
four (4) closed without appeals, three (3) had their appeals denied by the City
Council, and one (1) license was reinstated.
On October 21, 2008 the City Council passed a 45 -day moratorium on massage
uses and extended it for an additional 10 months and 15 days on November 18,
2008. During this moratorium, staff reviewed the City's regulations and enforcement
measures and the new State legislation governing massage therapists (SB 731) and
brought Ordinance No. 2260 before the City Council. The Ordinance was adopted
on August 19, 2009 and established revised regulations for massage therapy. The
new regulations continue the prohibition of stand -alone massage establishments
(fitness Beauty Spa

and require that massage services be incidental and secondary to a primary
personal service business.

Subject: Massage Establishment Revocation Request
Sir,
Police Department
The City of Arcadia's massage establishment inspection team has conducted
several inspections at /Fitness Beauty Spa, 133 F. Huntington Dr., and has
found and documented several continued non compliance issues that I believe
will not be resolved regardless of our efforts. The employees have been warned
and cited for these violations several times, but we have been forced to close the
business during inspections due to the violations.
Based on our observations and actions taken, I request that this business have
their business license revoked and be sent before the review board for violations
of AMC 6418.20(C) (Clothing Requirements,) 6418.20(Q) (Required Posted
Notices,) 6418.19(S) (Maintaining Records of Treatment,) 6418.3 (Massage Shall
Be Secondary and Incidental,) 6418.9 (Business Owner Responsibility,) 6418.10
(Massage Therapist I.D. Card Requirements,) and 6418.5 (Business License
Requirements.)
I have attached all Police and City reports associated with this business to this
report, along with Internet advertisements for services offered and reviews from
an Internet massage review site. This package will be forwarded to the Business
License Office for processing.

TO: Arcadia Business License Review Board
FROM: Jim Kasama, Community Development Admytrator
By: Silva Verge!, Business License Officer
SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
STAFF REPORT
Development Services Department
SUBJECT: An Appeal of a business license revocation for noncompliance with the
City of Arcadia Massage Therapist and Business License regulations by
Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine at 638 W. Duarte Rd., #5
At the request of the Arcadia Police Department, the Business License Office on May
17, 2010 revoked the business license for Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine at 638
W. Duarte Rd., #5 for noncompliance with the City of Arcadia Massage Therapist and
Business License regulations. The revocation notice is attached as Exhibit 'A'. Mr.
Hong Yu, the owner and operator of Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine filed an
appeal of the revocation on May 27, 2010. The appeal letter is attached as Exhibit 'B',
and the Police Department's revocation request and reports are attached as Exhibit
'C'. The Development Services Department is recommending that the Business
Permit and License Review Board deny the appeal and uphold the revocation.
Ordinance No. 2263 was adopted on December 1, 2009 and designated the Planning
Commission as the Business Permit and License Review Board (Board). The Board
serves to hear appeals of business license denials and revocations. The Board is the
first arbiter of appeals and the Board's decision may be appealed to the City Council.
Prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2263, the appeals of business permit and
license denials, revocations and suspensions were heard by a Business Permit and
License Review Board that was comprised of City staff; the Administrative Services
Director or designee, the Fire Chief or designee, and the Public Works Services
Director or designee. In this format, the Business Permit and License Review Board
served as an advisory body that provided technical assistance to the Business
License Officer for the review of certain permit and license applications and to the City
Council on appeals. This was a cumbersome arrangement, and the City Council
amended the composition of the Business Permit and License Review Board by
designating the Planning Commission as the Business Permit and License Review
Board and amended its duties from an advisory role to a decision making body with
the authority to hear and act upon business permit and license appeals.
Revocation and Appeal Process
Per Arcadia Municipal Code Section 6216.7, the Business License Officer may
suspend or revoke any business license upon receipt of information from any source
that any of the following has occurred:
(1) The holder of the license, or his or her employee, agent, partner,
director, officer, controlling stockholder or manager has knowingly made
any false, misleading or fraudulent statement of material facts in the
application for the license or permit, or in any report or record required to
be filed with the City's Police Department, County Health Department, or
any other City Department or office in connection with the operation of
the business; or
(2) The business has been expanded, or partially or wholly converted to
another business without the required City approvals and permits; or
The holder of the license has violated any of the conditions of said
license, or has violated or permitted to be violated any law or laws of the
United States or the State, or any ordinance applicable to the premises
where the business covered by said license is conducted, or in
connection with said business; or
(3)
(4) The holder of the license, or his or her employee, agent, partner,
director, officer, controlling stockholder or manager has, in the conduct
of the same or any similar business, been guilty of fraud,
misrepresentation or conduct detrimental to the public welfare which
includes operations or activities that do not comport with the peace,
health, safety and convenience of the public such as (a) operation of a
business prohibited by local or state law (b) allowance of activities that
are or become a public nuisance which includes the disruptive conduct
of business patrons whether on or immediately off the premises where
such patrons disturb the peace, obstruct traffic, damage property,
engage in criminal conduct, violate the law and otherwise impair the free
enjoyment of life and property.
Subsequent to the issuance of a revocation and within ten (10) days, an applicant or
business licensee may file an appeal to the Business Permit and License Review
Board (Board) and within 30 days or as soon thereafter as possible, a hearing shall be
conducted by the Board. Any Board member who has any financial interest in the
outcome of the hearing or is unable to make a fair, impartial and unbiased
Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine
638 W. Duarte Rd., #5
June 22, 2010 page 2
determination shall not participate in either the hearing of in any determination or
recommendation after the hearing.
During the hearing, all parties involved shall have the right to offer testimonial,
documentary, and tangible evidence bearing upon the issues and may be represented
by counsel. The Board shall not be bound by the formal rules of evidence and may
require the presentation of additional evidence from any party involved. Any hearing
under this Section may be continued for a reasonable time for the convenience of a
party or witness at the request of the applicant or licensee, or any other party.
Extensions of time or continuances sought by an applicant or licensee shall not be
considered delay on the part of the City and shall not be deemed to constitute failure
by the City to provide for a prompt decision.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board shall, by a majority vote of the members
present at the hearing, order that the license be revoked, suspended, reinstated, or
reinstated contingent upon the applicant or licensee performing some remedial action
such as, but not limited to, paying a fine or penalty. The Board may also prevent the
holder of a revoked or suspended license from applying for a new license within one
year or such other certain, specified reasonable time period as the Board deems
prudent.
Within ten (10) days of receiving notice of the Board's decision, the holder of the
revoked license, any member of the City Council, any affected City Department Head,
or any other business or resident of the City may appeal the decision by filing an
appeal to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
Beginning in the summer of 2008 and in response to a proliferation of establishments
offering massage services, a team of inspectors comprised of various City department
staff members conducted a series of inspections of over 40 such establishments.
Most of the businesses were given notices of numerous violations and many of the
businesses corrected those violations, but several businesses did not make the
required corrections even after being issued citations; and those businesses had their
licenses revoked. Of those eight (8) businesses; four (4) closed without appeals,
three (3) had their appeals denied by the City Council, and one (1) license was
reinstated.
On October 21, 2008 the City Council passed a 45 -day moratorium on massage uses
and extended it for an additional 10 months and 15 days on November 18, 2008.
During this moratorium, staff reviewed the City's regulations and enforcement
measures and the new State legislation governing massage therapists (SB 731) and
brought Ordinance No. 2260 before the City Council. The Ordinance was adopted on
August 19, 2009 and established revised regulations for massage therapy. The new
regulations continue the prohibition of stand -alone massage establishments and
require that massage services be incidental and secondary to a primary personal
service business.

GENERAL INFORMATION
APPELLANT: Mr. Hong Yu, owner /operator of Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine
LOCATION: 638 W. Duarte Rd., #5
REQUEST: An appeal of the business license revocation for noncompliance with
the following Arcadia Municipal Code Sections relative to the City of
Arcadia Massage Therapist and Business License regulations
DISCUSSION
Business License No. 049409 was issued to Mr. Hong Yu on October 27, 2008 to
operate the Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine as an acupuncture office, offering
acupuncture and herbal treatment at 638 W. Duarte Rd., #5. The business license
was issued for the operation of Oriental Medicine and not for any massage therapists.
Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine was inspected by the City on the following dates:
November 17, 2009, January 19, 2010 and February 25, 2010. On each occasion,
City staff found multiple violations of the following Arcadia Municipal Codes:
1) Section 6418.3. PERMISSIBLE MASSAGE THERAPY BUSINESS
ACTIVITIES.
It shall be unlawful for any person to own, conduct, permit, or manage a
business establishment having a fixed place of business for the sole and
primary purpose of deriving income or compensation from massage
therapy business activities. Massage therapy business activities shall be
purely incidental and secondary to any established business.
Massage therapists may operate at (a) an established medical office,
including, the office of a chiropractor; and (b) a personal service
business.
All such established businesses shall comply with all building and zoning
regulations, the regulations of this Division, and all other applicable
requirements of law.
No person shall engage in, conduct or carry on, or permit to be engaged
in, conducted or carried on, any massage therapy business, unless the
massage operations are conducted within a structure located in a zone
where such use is permitted. All such established businesses shall
comply with all building and zoning regulations, the regulations of this
Division including licensing requirements, and all other applicable
requirements of law.
2) Section 6418.5. BUSINESS LICENSE REQUIRED.
Any person owning or operating a business that provides massage

638 W. Duarte Rd., #5
June 22, 2010 page 4
Business License. Obtaining the required business license includes
obtaining approval from the Department of Development Services,
Planning Services, of the proposed business location. The applicant shall
file a written application on the required form provided by the
Development Services Department.
3) Section 6418.9. BUSINESS OWNER /OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY.
All massage therapy business owners and /or operators shall be
responsible for the conduct of all employees and independent
contractors. Any act or omission of any employee or independent
contractor constituting a violation of the provisions of this Division shall be
deemed the pct or omission of the business owner for purposes of
determining whether the owner's license shall be revoked, suspended,
denied or renewed.
No business owner and /or operator shall employ any person, or allow any
person, to conduct a massage or act as an independent contractor
conducting massage who does not have either a valid Massage Therapist
Identification Card or a Massage Certificate and City of Arcadia Massage
Verification Card. In order to ensure compliance with these Code
provisions, no massage therapy business owners shall employ any
person who has not shown them either their valid Massage Therapist
Identification Card or valid Massage Certificate and City of Arcadia
Massage Verification Card.
After the inspections and investigation, the Arcadia Police Department requested that
the Business License Office revoke the license of Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine.
The revocation request and the inspection reports, including Internet printouts are
attached as Exhibit 'C'. The business license for Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine
was revoked on May 17, 2010, and the owner /operator appealed the revocation on
May 27, 2010. These correspondences are attached as Exhibits 'A' and 'B'.
RECOMMENDATION
The Police Department and the Development Services Department recommend that
the appeal be denied and the revocation of the business license for Yuhong Clinic of
Oriental Medicine be upheld, and that Mr. Hong Yu not be allowed to own or operate a
business in the City of Arcadia for a period of one (1) year.
Alternatively, if the appeal is to be approved, the Police Department and the
Development Services Department recommend the following conditions of approval:
1. The business and premises must be in compliance with the Arcadia
Municipal Code, and all other applicable State and Federal regulations.
2. The business license shall be subject to review by the Business Permit
and License Review Board (Board) for twelve (12) months, and should

Dear Mr. Yu:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that Business License No. 049409 for
an acupuncture office located at 638 W. Duarte Rd., No. 5 is being revoked.

and secondary to any established business

3. 6418.9. Business Owner /Operator Responsibility

decision within ten (10) days of the date if thus notice. Said appeal must be
made in writing and delivered to the undersigned by Thursday, May 27, 2010.

Date: May 6, 2010
To: Sergeant T. LeVeque
From: Detective J. Bonomo
Subject: Massage Establishment Revocation Request
Sir,
The City of Arcadia's massage establishment inspection team has conducted
several inspections at Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine, 638 W. Duarte Rd. #5,
and has found and documented several continued non compliance issues that I
believe will not be resolved regardless of our efforts. The employees have been
warned and cited for these violations several times.
Based on our observations and actions taken, I request that this business have
their business license revoked and be sent before the review board for violations
of 6418.9 (Business Owner Responsibility and Acupuncturist Site Only,) 6418.5
(Business License Requirements,) and 6418.3 (Allowing Massage Activity.)
I have attached all Police and City reports associated with this business to this
report, along with reviews from an internet massage review site. This package
will be forwarded to the Business License Office for processing.

On 11/17/09, at 1730 hrs, Officer Orswell and I, along with Terry Moore, Code
Enforcement, Jill Perumean, Fire Dept, and Jeff Wang, Building Dept, inspected
Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine, 638 W. Duarte, #5, Arcadia. Jeff Wang
acted as our interpreter. This was our initial visit.
We talked to Jian Ling Bi, MT 08126, CDL D6472409, DOB 02/04/60, expired
7/09 but was valid for 610 E. Live Oak only. Also present was Jian Ju Zhu, MT
08171, expired 10/09, CLD D2818945, DOB 01/18/61. Zhu lives at 10451
Mulhall St, #17, El Monte. The acupuncturist that is supposed to be here is Dr.
Hong Yu but he was not present. Both Bi and Zhu said they were there to answer
the phone and to make appointments. They could not show us who called and
what appointments were made. They had not records at all. Because Bi's
license was expired, we took her expired Massage Therapist card and will
destroy it.
Our visit was prompted by a letter from an anonymous letter complaining that this
location does massages and not acupuncture and that a lot of people are in and
out of the business on a'daiiy basis (see attached letter).
Jill Perumean, Fire Dept, found no violations (see attached).
Terry Moore -Korse documented the following: On November 17, 2009 I
inspected the subject business The business is an acupuncturist's office for
acupuncture only there are to be massage therapist at the property it states this
on the license. It also states the acupuncturist must be present during business
hours. When I arrived at the location there were two massage therapists at the
office and the site was open for business but the doctor was not at the location.
There is also an unpermitted shower that is located at the property that will need
to be removed. A citation has been issued the above noted violation (see
attached letter to the business owner, Hong Yu).

On 01/19/10, at 1730 hrs, Officer Orswell and I, along with Terry Moore, Code
Enforcement, Jill Perumean, Fire Dept, and Jeff Wang, Building Dept, inspected
Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine, 638 W. Duarte, #5, Arcadia. Jeff Wang
acted as our interpreter. We talked to Jian Ju Zhu, who said she had not
renewed her massage therapist license (MT 08171- expired 10/09). She was the
only person present. The location was open for business.
This was a follow up visit from 11/17/09. We did not inspect the location
because it is not licensed for massage therapy. Their business license also
states that the acupuncturist must be present during business hours. No
acupuncturist was present.
Jill Perumean, Arcadia Fire Dept, found no violations. See 'attached inspection
report.
Terry Moore Korse, Code Enforcement- Documentatio:n to follow.
Additional Information
We spoke with Jian Ju Zhu, who stated she was "cupping" a friend in the back
room. There was a male in the lobby when we walked in and when I asked him
what service he was there for, he stated a massage. He said the person in the
back was taking care of someone and he was next. Zhu said the acupuncturist
was not present but would be, there in a few minutes. We asked Zhu to call the
acupuncturist (Hong Yu) to see how much longer before he arrived. She called
and got no answer. We then walked outside to discuss our visitation. Soon after,
the male that was waiting -for a massage quietly left the location and walked away
and Zhu started to close the business.
"Cupping" requires touching an individual in places other than the head and feet.
Therefore, the business is in violation of AMC 6418.1- definition of a massage and
massage therapist and 6418.3 allowing massage therapist business activities.
We were at the location for approx 30 minutes and the acupuncturist never
showed up or called.

On 02/25/10, at 1730 hrs, Officer Orswell and I, along with Terry Moore, Code
Enforcement, Jill Perumean, Fire Dept, Silva Verge!, Business License Officer,
and Jeff Wang, Building Dept, inspected Yuhong Clinic of Oriental Medicine, 638
W. Duarte, #5, Arcadia. Jeff Wang acted as our interpreter. We talked to Jian
Ju Zhu. She was there with another Asian female. The location was open for
business.
Jian said she and the other woman were there to answer the phone. She said
the Acupuncturist has just left and that he is only there when he has an
appointment. She said that if someone calls, they refer them to the
Acupuncturist. She has no idea when the. Acupuncturist would be back. This
was our third visit and the Acupuncturist has ;`never been on site.
The last time we were here to inspect on 1 /19/2010,; >lian was performing
CUPPING on a customer in the back room. On this visjt, Jian said she has only
had two CUPPING customers since our last- visit on January 19, 2010. She could
not produce any records of treatment.
Terry Moore -Korse wrote the following:
This business is an Acupuncturist Office. Again there was no Acupuncturist at
the site at time of inspection At time of inspection there was a receptionist and a
friend watching the office. The one receptionist tells us that she does CUPPING
on the patients and that since our last visit on 1/19/2010 she has performed
CUPPING on at least two patients. See attached memo.

This is a supplemental report to now include the information from City of Arcadia
Code Enforcement.
On 01/19/10, at 1730 hrs, Terry Moore Korse, wrote the following:
This business is an Acupuncturist's office spa and they appear to be offering
massage services. I have visited this site on at least four occasions and the
Acupuncturist is never at this site. There was a customer at the time of this
inspection waiting for a massage. The Acupuncturist again was not at the site.
The receptionist was the only staff at the business. The receptionist does have
an expired massage therapist ID card issued by the City of Arcadia, and is the
only person at the office the times I have arrived for inspection. The business
appears to be a massage facility and we should refer this to Business
License Services for further action to possibly revoke the B4siness License. See

students within a 4,000 square -foot, one -story commercial building at 15 -17 E.

studio, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report.
GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Mr. Xiao Ming Chen and Mrs. Yang Chen, lessees
LOCATION: 17 E. Huntington Drive
REQUEST: A Conditional Use Permit to operate a 2,000 square -foot art studio with
a maximum of 10 students at any one time. The age range of the

PUBLIC HEARING NOTIFICATION
Public hearing notices of Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 10 -07 were
mailed on June 11, 2010 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.

The subject property is developed with a two -unit, 4,000 square -foot, one -story

subject unit is currently vacant, but was previously occupied as a general office. No
prior Modifications or Conditional Use Permits have been approved for this property.
The applicants, Mr. Xiao Ming Chen and Mrs. Yang Chen, currently operate an art
studio at 11 W. Duarte Road (CUP 99 -16) and previously operated art studios at 21
W. Duarte Road (CUP 09 -16) and 515 S. First Avenue (CUP 05 -19). If approved, the
applicants intend to relocate their art studio from 11 W. Duarte Road to the subject
property.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The proposal is to operate a 2,000 square -foot art studio with individual and group
instruction, and an art gallery in the front of the unit for display of student work. No
retail sales or gallery viewings will occur at the subject property. The studio will be
limited to a maximum of 10 students and 2 staff members at any one time. The
proposed hours of operation are Monday— Friday, 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Saturday
Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. An art studio is a permitted use in the CBD zone
CUP 10 -07
17 E. Huntington Drive
June 22, 2010 page 2
with an approved Conditional Use Permit and is an appropriate use in the Central
Redevelopment Project Area.
Parking and Traffic
The property has a total of 8 on -site parking spaces. By code, a 2,000 square -foot
general office and a 2,000 square -foot beauty salon are required to have a total of 18
on -site parking spaces 10 spaces for the beauty salon and 8 spaces for the general
office. The art studio would decrease the parking requirement by 4 spaces, and
decrease the parking deficiency from 10 spaces to 6 spaces.
In addition to the on -site parking spaces, the subject property borders a large City
owned parking lot. The applicant has provided the attached informal parking study of
the 3 aisles of parking spaces directly north of the subject property. The study was
conducted for a one -week period, with available parking spaces counted weekdays at
4:00 p.m., and weekends at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The results of the study show
that this section of the City -owned parking lot is underutilized at these times.
Because all students will be of non driving age, students will need to be picked -up and
dropped -off before and after classes. To address concerns that student pick -up and
drop -off could impact traffic flow along Huntington Drive, staff is recommending a
condition that all student pick -up and drop -off shall occur in the on -site parking lot or
the City -owned lot. Parents will also be required to park in a parking space when
picking -up or dropping -off students, and shall not be allowed to queue in the rear
alleyway. The art studio shall post and distribute notices to all students, parents, and
staff to provide instructions for where to park, and where to drop -off and pick -up
students in accordance with requirements established by the City. A draft of the
notice shall be submitted to the City for review and approval by the Development
Services Director or designee prior to beginning operation of the art studio.
It is staff's opinion that with the small class sizes, existing underutilization of the City
owned parking lot, and requirement that student pick -up and drop -off occur at the rear
of the building only, the site can accommodate the proposed art studio.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits,
building safety, emergency equipment, parking and site design, and water supply and
irrigation systems are required to be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building
Official, City Engineer, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and
Public Works Services Director.
CEQA
If it is determined that no significant physical alterations to the property are necessary,
then this project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303 of the
CUP 10 -07

STAFF REPORT
Development Services Department
FROM: Jim Kasama, Community Development Administrator
By: Tim Schwehr, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 10 -08 to amend CUP 09 -20
(Resolution 1812) for a tutoring center at 222 -224 S. First Avenue.
SUMMARY
Ms. Janice Yen (dba: Steps Academy, Inc.) submitted Conditional Use Permit Application
No. CUP 10 -08 to amend CUP 09 -20, which permitted a 40 student tutoring center with
operating hours of 12:00 noon to 7:00 p.m., Monday Saturday at 222 -224 S. First Avenue.
CUP 10 -08 requests the following changes:
a. Expanded operating hours of Monday Friday, 12:00 noon to 9:30 p.m., and
Saturday Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
b. Summer operating hours of Monday Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., for a 9 -week
period beginning in June and ending in August.
Although there is a parking deficiency by Code, it is staff's opinion that the proposed
changes to the operating hours and addition of a separate summer schedule would not
significantly impact the adjacent streets and neighboring properties. Therefore, the
Development Services Department is recommending approval of this application, subject to
the conditions listed in this staff report.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTIFICATION
Public hearing notices of Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 10 -08 were mailed on
June 11, 2010 to the property owners and tenants of those properties that are within 300 feet
of the subject property see the attached radius map. Because the proposed project is
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the public
hearing notice was not published in the Arcadia Weekly newspaper.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The subject property was developed in 1977 as a one -story, 2,255 square -foot office
building with 9 parking spaces. Modification No. M -77 -21 was approved to allow this
building to be built with a 10 -foot rear setback in lieu of 20 feet when adjacent to a
residential zone, and with two parking stalls adjacent to the side property lines to be 9' -6"
wide in lieu of 11' -6
On January 26, 2010, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. CUP
09 -20 to allow Steps Academy, Inc. to operate an after school tutoring program with two
instructors, one teacher's assistant /receptionist, and a maximum of 40 students at any one
time in an existing, one -story, 2,255 square -foot commercial building. Group instruction was
limited to 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on
Saturdays, with the remainder of the operating hours to be used for individual one -to -one
instruction, individual parent- teacher conferences, and general office activities. For the
group instruction sessions, the students are separated into two groups with a maximum of
20 students per group, and class times staggered an hour apart to help minimize parking
congestion and queuing. Additional operational aspects of the tutoring center are described
in the attached staff report for CUP 09 -20, dated January 26, 2010.

PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
This proposal will amend Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09 -20 to permit the following:
a. Expanded operating hours of Monday Friday, 12:00 noon to 9:30 p.m., and
Saturday Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
b. Summer operating hours of Monday Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., for a 9 -week
period beginning in June and ending in August.
Parking and Student Transportation
Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09 -20 included a Parking Modification for 8 on -site parking
spaces in lieu of 11 spaces required (1 space per instructor /employee and 1 space for every
5 students of non driving age). Based on the schedule to have the children arrive and
depart in two groups of 20, it was staff's opinion that the site could accommodate the
proposed tutoring center. The expanded operating hours for the tutoring center will not
increase the parking requirement, because the maximum number of students at any one
time will not increase.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits, building
safety, emergency equipment, and parking and site design are required to be complied with
to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community Development
Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director.
CEQA
Because no physical alterations to the property are necessary, this project is categorically
exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15314 of the CEQA Guidelines as a minor addition to a school operation. A
Preliminary Exemption Assessment 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:
1. 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.

individualized instruction in a group setting.
Our new regular office hours will be from 9:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M., seven days a week. When
there are no classes in session, we will use the office for parent meetings and/or administrative
duties.
The following is our class schedule included with our original application:
Students in group 1 attend class at our center from 3 P.M. to 5 P.M., Monday to Friday.
Students in group 2 attend class at our center from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M., Monday to Friday.

RESOLUTION NO. 1812
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.
CUP 09 -20 TO OPERATE A TUTORING CENTER WITH A MAXIMUM OF
FORTY (40) STUDENTS IN AN EXISTING 2,255 SQUARE -FOOT
COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 222 -224 S. FIRST AVENUE.
WHEREAS, on November 12, 2009, an application was filed by Janice Yen for a
tutoring center with a maximum of 40 students in an existing 2,255 square -foot commercial
building; Development Services Department Case No. CUP 09 -20, at 222 -224 S. First
Avenue; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on January 26,
2010, 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
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Development Services
Department in the staff report dated January 26, 2010 are true and correct.
SECTION 2. This Commission finds:
1. 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
because the proposed tutoring center will not conflict with the other businesses and uses in
the area.
2. That the use applied for at the location indicated is a proper one for which a
Conditional Use Permit is authorized by Section 9275.1.35.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code.
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. The subject property is accessible
from S. First Avenue, which is adequate in width and pavement type for the commercial
traffic that is and will be generated by the businesses in the area, including the tutoring
center that is approved by Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09 -20.
5. That the granting of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 09 -20 will not adversely
affect the comprehensive General Plan because a tutoring center is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Designation for the subject area.
6. That the conversion of a commercial space to a tutoring center qualifies as a
Class 3 Categorical Exemption of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a
conversion of a small commercial structure per Section 15303(c) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Furthermore, the use applied for will not have a substantial adverse impact on the
environment, and based upon the record as a whole there is no evidence that the proposed
project will have any potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon
which wildlife depends.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons this Commission grants Conditional
Use Permit No. CUP 09 -20, for a tutoring center with a maximum of 40 students in an
existing 2,255 square -foot commercial building at 222 -224 S. First Avenue, subject to the
following conditions:

Permit to be granted, it must be found that all of the following prerequisite conditions
cSn be satisfied:
1. 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.
It is staffs opinion that the proposed tutoring center can satisfy each prerequisite
condition.
RECOMMENDATION
The Development Services Department recommends approval of Conditional Use
Permit Application No. CUP 09 -20, subject to the following conditions:
1. There shall not be more than forty (40) students, and three (3) faculty and staff
members at any time at this tutoring center and the students shall arrive and
depart in accordance with the schedule proposed and approved for CUP 09 -20.
2. The hours of operation shall be limited to Monday Saturday, 12:00 noon to 7:00
p.m., with group instruction limited to Monday Friday, 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and
Saturdays 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
CUP 09 -20
222 -224 S. First Avenue
January 26, 2010 page 4
will be limited to 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 2:30 p.m. to 5:30
p.m. on Saturdays. The center will be closed on Sundays. The remainder of the
operating hours will be used for individual one -to -one instruction, individual parent
teacher conferences, and general office activities. For the group instruction sessions,
the students will be separated into two groups, each with a maximum of 20 students.
On weekdays, instruction for Group One will begin at 3:00 p.m. and conclude at 5:00
p.m., and instruction for Group Two will begin at 4:00 p.m. and conclude at 6:00 p.m.
Students will receive instruction in Math and English. A detailed operating plan from
the applicant (Steps Academy, Inc.) is attached. A tutoring center is a permitted use
in the CBD zone with an approved conditional use permit.
Parking and Traffic
The existing, on -site surface parking lot is not correctly laid out; there are two parking
spaces in a tandem arrangement, the handicap space is not per Code, and there is
inadequate backout distance between the two rows of parking spaces. By Code, a
tutoring center is required to provide one on -site parking space for each employee and
one parking space for every five children (non- driving age). Based on the proposal of
two teachers, one teaching assistant, and 40 students; this tutoring center is required
to provide 11 on -site parking spaces. If striped to current Code requirements,
however; only seven parking spaces can be provided. A minor Modification to allow a
six -inch reduction in width(s) would enable one more space to be provided for a total
of eight parking spaces on site.
It is staffs opinion that the site can accommodate the proposed tutoring center; based
on the schedule to have the children arrive and depart in two groups of 20. If a
tutoring center were to have 20 children and three staff members, the parking
requirement would be seven on -site spaces. In addition to reorienting and restriping
the parking lot with a minor Modification to enable eight spaces to fit on this site, the
following site improvements should also be provided:
1. The driveway is to be marked to indicate two -way travel and a, "Right -Turn Only"
sign is to be posted on the northerly /exit side.
2. The trash enclosure is to be enlarged (widened) to accommodate the trash bin
and a solid metal gate is to be installed.
3. The landscaping is to be trimmed so that it does not impinge on the driveway
area.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits,
building safety, emergency equipment (including a full coverage fire alarm system)
parking and site design, and water supply and irrigation systems are required to be
complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community
Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTIFICATION
Public hearing notices of Conditional Use Permit Application No. CUP 09 -20 were
mailed on January 14, 2010 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.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The subject property was developed in 1977 as a one -story, 2,200 square -foot office
building with 9 parking spaces. Modification No. M -77 -21 was approved to allow this
building to be built with a 10 -foot rear setback in lieu of 20 feet when adjacent to a
residential zone, and with two parking stalls adjacent to the side property lines to be
9' -6" wide in lieu of 11' -6 The building was last occupied by an educational
consultant and a music teacher. The parking has been incorrectly restriped and does
not conform to either the layout approved by M- 77 -21, or current parking standards.
The applicant is currently operating Steps Academy Inc. at 1012 -B S. Baldwin Avenue

SUBJECT: Architectural Design Review No. ADR 07 -21 A revised architectural
design for a new church /meeting hall at 630 E. Live Oak Avenue
Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 07 -12 and Architectural Design Review No. ADR 07-
21 were approved by the Planning Commission on December 11, 2007 for a new, two
story, 23,000± square -foot church /meeting hall at 630 E. Live Oak Avenue. The
proposed building is the replacement meeting hall for the Church in Arcadia, which sold
their former facility at 21 Morlan Place to the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency. Since
these approvals, the Church in Arcadia has completed the real estate transactions with
the Redevelopment Agency and the City and has been working to finalize the
construction plans and prepare the site for construction. The Development Services
Department is recommending approval of the Church in Arcadia's revised architectural
design.
APPLICANT: The Church In Arcadia Mr. David Dong, Church President
Mr. John Peruzzi, Architect
LOCATION: 630 E. Live Oak Avenue
REQUEST: Architectural Design Review of a revised proposal for a new, two -story,
23,000± square -foot meeting hall.
SITE AREA: Approximately 52,875 square feet (1.21 acres)
FRONTAGE: 119.67 feet along E. Live Oak Avenue
EXISTING LAND USE:
The site is vacant, except for a sign for the Arcadia Par 3 Golf Course.
ZONING CLASSIFICATION:
C -O /Professional Office churches are allowed in this zone with an
approved Conditional Use Permit.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
Commercial
SURROUNDING LAND USES ZONING:
North: Mixed Commercial Zoned C -2
South: Arcadia Par 3 Golf Course Unzoned
East: Adjacent to the east side of the site is an unzoned riding and
hiking trail and the Santa Anita Wash. The properties across the
wash are in unincorporated Los Angeles County. The property
fronting Live Oak Avenue is developed with a 30 -unit senior
housing project and to the south along Eighth Avenue are single
family residences.
West: The property fronting Live Oak Avenue is developed with a retail
center zoned C -2. The properties south of the retail center along
Hempstead Avenue are single family residences in
unincorporated Los Angeles County.
BACKGROUND
In January 2005 the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency approved a Land Assembly and
Development Agreement to assist in the assembly of properties deemed essential for
the expansion of the Rusnak automobile dealership. The Church and the
Redevelopment Agency eventually came to terms for the purchase of 21 Morlan Place.
The agreement included the concurrent sale by the City of the replacement site at 630
E. Live Oak Avenue.
In June of 2007, the City initiated a General Plan Amendment, a Zone Change, and a
subdivision to facilitate the relocation of the Church in Arcadia to the 630 E. Live Oak
Avenue site. The General Plan Amendment changed the land use designation of the
meeting hall site from "Public Facilities" to "Commercial." The zoning of the meeting
hall site was changed from "Unzoned" to "Professional Office /C -O" and the rest of the
property was changed from "Unzoned" to "Public Purpose /S -2." A Parcel Map was
recorded that subdivided the property into three (3) lots and the 25 -foot wide access
roadway. Lot No. 1 is the proposed meeting hall site, Lot No. 2 is an Arcadia Water
Division facility, and Lot No. 3 is a vacant City -owned lot that will be used as an
overflow parking lot that will be available to the proposed meeting hall. The 25 -foot
wide access roadway serves all three (3) lots as well as the Arcadia Par 3 Golf Course.

At a regular Planning Commission meeting on December 11, 2007, the Commission
conditionally approved Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 07 -12 and Architectural Design
Review No. ADR 07 -21 for a new, two -story, 23,000± square -foot meeting hall with a
maximum attendance limit of 1,000 people, 84 on -site parking spaces, and an
additional 40 parking spaces available at a City -owned parcel approximately 700 feet to
the south. The Commission adopted Resolution No. 1769 (attached) on January 8,
2008 to formalize their actions. The approval includes the following three (3)
Modifications from the zoning regulations:
A. A Parking Modification for 84 on -site spaces and a minimum of 40 off -site
spaces at a separate lot that is approximately 700 feet from the subject
building in lieu of 206 spaces either on -site, or within 100 feet of the
meeting hall (9269.5 9269.6)
B. An encroachment into the 45- degree angle, west side yard setback for
the uppermost seven (7) feet of the rear 28 feet of the meeting hall
{9261.2.3.(c)}
C. A Sign Modification for three (3) die -cut letter signs, totaling 85 square
feet, mounted at the edge of the decorative steel canopies over the front,
west side, and rear entries in lieu of a total sign area of 40 square feet
attached flat against the walls of the building and not above a roof line;
and for the west side sign to face the access roadway and be located 76
feet from the front property line in lieu of not having a sign facing the side
of the property and /or being within 50 feet of the front street (9261.4.1)
Since the January 8, 2008 adoption of Resolution No. 1769, a grading plan was
submitted for plan check on January 9, 2009. Initial review indicated that the proposed
drainage would not comply with stormwater pollution prevention requirements because
of contributory drainage issues. To address this problem, the parking layout was
revised, and on April 14, 2009, the Modification Committee approved Modification No.
MC 09 -06 for the revised parking plan to have 22 tandem spaces. The Modification
Committee Findings are attached.
On December 22, 2009, a demolition permit was issued for site clearance and
preparation, and on February 24, 2010, a stormwater pollution prevention plan was
submitted for plan check. While all of these preparatory actions were taking place, the
architectural plans for the new meeting hall were being reviewed by the Church's board
and numerous changes were made from the original architectural plans. The Church
Board has finalized the architectural plans and the building size, shape and interior
configuration are consistent with the proposal that was approved by Resolution No.
1769, but the architecture is significantly different. The revised plans are consistent
with the Modifications approved for the parking and side yard setback encroachment,
but the building signage is not consistent with the sign Modification included with CUP
07 -12. The Modification Committee will have to approve a new sign Modification and
sign design review if the signs are not substantially consistent with the signage shown
on the original plans approved by CUP 07 -12.

Architectural Design Review
The Planning Commission may approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the
proposed revised architectural design concept plans.
The proposed design of the meeting hall is contemporary and institutional in
appearance. The colors are earth tones and the materials are not extravagant. The
building will primarily be a concrete block structure and textured stone or textured block
will be the main finishes. The two main colors are Indian Summer Red and Variegated
Tan. On the front portion of the building, the red is the base with the tan as an accent,
and on the rear meeting hall portion of the building the tan is the base and the red is the
accent. A colors and materials sample board is available for review.
The architectural highlights are the evergreen glass curtain walls that enclose the two
story space at the northeast corner of the building and the areas above the entrances
on both sides of the building. Two earthen green tile clad towers also accent the east
and west sides of the building and separate the front portion of the building from the
rear meeting hall portion. On the first floor of the glass enclosed northeast corner is the
dining hall and a conference room is on the second floor. The two earthen green
towers house the stairways and are adjacent to the building's entrances at both ends of
the main lobby.
The front portion of the building also has as accents; custom, precast sills of a slightly
darker shade of red above the second floor windows and along the top of the block
walls. And, another accent feature is the Warm Champagne Grey, Pre Finished, Metal
Panel Canopy with decorative steel support trusses above the clerestory windows of the
meeting hall and extending onto the earthen green tower adjacent to the main entrance
on the west side of the building.
The applicant provided the following statement of their architectural philosophy for the
original architectural design review:
We believe that the meeting place for the church should be a building
appropriately designed for the meeting activities. It should simply be "a
meeting place of the church in Arcadia" and fit into the local community.. This
is why we refer to it as a meeting hall.
For these reasons, we have designed a fairly simple building of a minimally
formal expression. The materials, masonry and exterior cement plaster will be
of elegant and warm colors, reflecting typical colors and details of the
surrounding community.
Also, for the original architectural design review, staff provided the following comments,
which, except for the patio enclosure, have been addressed by the revised proposal:
There are a few aspects of the north /front elevation that staff thinks could be
enhanced. The front wall of the kitchen area will not have a window because
of the interior counter and cooking area. This results in a blank area facing
ADR 07 -21 Revised
June 22, 2010
Page 4 of 6
the street. Staff feels that the kitchen layout should be altered so that a
window to match the rest of the facade can be included. Another alteration
that staff recommends is that the easterly portion of the building front be
slightly set back (12 to 18 inches) from the westerly portion (at the easterly
split -face concrete block pilaster) to provide an actual physical break in the
building surface, rather than just a change in materials. Lastly, the patio area
should be enclosed with an open metal picket fence set back from the front
property line and screened by low- profile landscaping. A solid wall should not
be located at the front property line and as a security measure, an open work
fence will enable this area between the meeting hall and flood control
property to be visible from the street.
The meeting hall site is vacant, and all of the existing landscaping and trees on the site
will be removed to accommodate the proposed meeting hall, except for some mature
pine trees along the east side of the site. Most of these pine trees are actually on the
flood control district property just east of the property line. The site and the parking lot
are required to be landscaped in accordance with the City's landscaping regulations.
Staffs opinion is that the proposed revised design provides adequate architectural
relief, will be visually harmonious with surrounding developments, and finds the
proposed revised architectural design concept to be in compliance with the City's
Architectural Design Review Regulations.
The following matters must still be addressed as indicated:
All fences and /or garden walls on or for the meeting hall site shall be subject to
detailed design review with the locations of any and all fences and /or garden
walls and any and all openings and /or gates to be approved by the
Development Services Director.
The freestanding "Arcadia Par 3 Golf Course" sign is a legal- nonconforming
improvement and shall remain with the required minimum three -(3) -foot
separation between any part of the sign structure and any part of the meeting
hall. If this sign is to be relocated, redesigned or replaced, such shall be at the
applicant's expense, and the new design and /or location are to be approved by
the Development Services Director.
A Modification was approved in conjunction with CUP 07 -12 for three (3) die
cut letter signs, totaling 85 square feet. If the signs for the meeting hall are not
to be consistent with this Modification, a new sign Modification and sign design
review will have to be approved by the Modification Committee.
CEQA
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a
Negative Declaration was adopted for this project in conjunction with the approval of
CUP 07 -12. Architectural design review on its own is a ministerial action that is exempt
from the requirements of CEQA.

standard spaces in a parking lot with a total of 84 parking spaces for a
proposed church permitted under Conditional Use Permit Application No.
CUP 07 -12 (AMC Sec. 9269.11).
BACKGROUND
The Church in Arcadia is relocating from their former location on Morlan Place to 630 E.
Live Oak Avenue. A Conditional Use Permit for the proposed new church facility and its
operations was approved by the Planning Commission in December 2007, and
Resolution No. 1769 was adopted on January 8, 2008. The approval of the new church
includes a parking modification that allows for 84 on -site parking spaces with a
provision for 122 additional parking spaces to be provided off -site.
This request to utilize a tandem parking layout for the on -site parking lot is so that a
landscaping area may be placed adjacent to the access roadway to divide and contain
the on -site storm water runoff from the off -site flow in the access roadway. The on -site
runoff will be collected and routed through a passive filtration system to comply with
drainage requirements mandated by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES).
FINDINGS
The Committee stated that although they are somewhat concerned about how the
tandem spaces will be utilized, they also felt that it was in the church's best interest to
ensure that it will be properly used; they would self regulate this arrangement to provide
adequate parking for their use. Furthermore, the parking area is self- contained and
would not negatively impact the neighbors. Therefore, the Committee approved the
applicant's request.
ACTION
Approved, 3 -0
APPEAL PERIOD
There is a five (5) working day appeal period for this application. The approval is not

Ms. Mary Dougherty, President of the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners' Association
expressed concern that Item 2, regarding Architectural Review Board procedures, was too
broad and that the HOAs had not been notified of the proposed discussion. Ms. Dougherty
noted that the HOA members are all volunteers and that the position of ARB Chairman is
very demanding. She stressed the need for a cooperative working relationship with the
Commissioners and City staff.
PUBLIC HEARINGS

1202 1206 Mayflower Avenue

AYES: Commissioners Baderian, Baerg, Hsu and PerriIle
NOES: None
ABSENT: Commissioner Beranek

DISCUSSION ITEM
2. REVIEW OF HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATIONS' ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD
PROCEDURES
Commissioner Baderian said that over the past year the Commission has reviewed three to
four appeals from the Lower Rancho HOA on metal roofing and each time the Commission
has approved the appeal. He suggested that the Commissioners could work with the HOAs
to change existing procedures to avoid repetition of these appeals and provide a more
uniform process for appeals.
Commissioner Baerg noted that since an appeal puts a financial burden on the homeowner
and expends staff time it is important for an HOA member to attend the meeting to explain
their position.
Commissioner Hsu said that it seems appropriate to reduce the burden on applicants on an
appeal process that occurs repeatedly.

Chairman Parrille said that there seems to be a consensus among the Commissioners that
the objection to metal roofing lacks foundation and that, in fact, there are many examples
where metal roofing is compatible with the neighborhood. Consequently, the Commission is
seeking clarification of the HOAs objections.
Commissioner Baderian said that the title of the item suggested a discussion on ARB
procedures in general, but the staff report emphasized the metal roofing issue. He added
that he feels the item should be continued until the Commission has had an opportunity to
review existing ARB requirements on metal roofing, or roofing in general, and until all HOAs
can be notified of the Commission's concerns and they are provided an opportunity to attend
the meeting and participate in the discussion.
Mr. Kasama pointed out that the Planning Commission's role in relationship to the HOAs
and ARBs is strictly limited to hearing appeals and that any action to change HOA
regulations or ARB procedures would have to be taken by the City Council. He said that the
the Lower Rancho HOA has not provided clear reasons for their objection to metal roofing
and that the previous ARB Chairman had worked with contractors and applicants to arrive at
satisfactory results in regard to this type of roofing material. He added that a study session
would be a good method for reviewing this and other concerns.
Commissioner Baderian agreed that a study session would be helpful in providing an
opportunity for review of current HOA roofing regulations. If any recommendations result,
they can be forwarded to the City Council for review.
Chairman Parrille asked staff to coordinate a study session with the HOAs to informally
review their procedures.
