A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. CUP
10 -16 TO ALLOW THE INTERIM USE OF A TENT AS A TEMPORARY PATIO
COVER FOR AN OUTDOOR DINING AREA DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON
AT 233 E. HUNTINGTON DRIVE.
WHEREAS, on November 10, 2010, an application was filed by Mr. Michael Thomas for
the interim use of a tent as a temporary patio cover for an outdoor dining area to accommodate
the expected holiday customers while plans are being completed for a permanent expansion of
the restaurant; Development Services Department Case No. CUP 10 -16, at 233 E. Huntington
Drive; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on November 23,
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 November 23, 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 use of a tent as a temporary patio cover will not adversely affect 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 9275.1.53.5 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. The use of a tent as a
temporary patio cover will not involve any changes to the existing landscaping, parking, or
permanent alterations to the exterior of the building.
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
Huntington Drive which is adequate in width and pavement type for the commercial traffic that is
and will be generated by the subject business and the other businesses in the area, including
any additional commercial traffic resulting from the use approved by Conditional Use Permit No.
CUP 10 -16.
5. That the granting of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 10 -16 will not adversely affect
the comprehensive General Plan because a restaurant with outdoor dining is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Designation for the subject area.
6. That the use of a tent as a temporary patio cover for outdoor dining qualifies as a
Class 1 Categorical Exemption of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a
conversion of a small commercial structure per Section 15301(e) 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 10 -16, for the interim use of a tent as a temporary patio cover for an outdoor
dining area at 233 E. Huntington Drive, subject to the following conditions:
1. The use of the tent shall be limited to the holiday seasons, November 24, 2010
through January 3, 2011, and November 23, 2011 through January 2, 2012. The tent shall be
removed during the time between and after these holiday periods. This does not preclude the
2 1825
use of the tent for short -term, special events that may be held at the restaurant at other times of
the year with an approved Special Event Permit.
2. The use approved by CUP 10 -16 is limited to the proposed temporary patio cover
for an outdoor dining area and it shall be utilized and maintained in a manner that is consistent
with the proposal submitted and approved for CUP 10 -16, subject to the satisfaction of the
Development Services Director or designee.
3. The applicant shall provide in a timely manner the necessary documents and
materials for the Conditional Use Permit application for the permanent addition to the restaurant
and if a Conditional Use Permit is not approved by May 31, 2011, this approval shall be null and
void and a tent may no longer be used for the holiday seasons, including the holiday season of
November 23, 2011 through January 2, 2012.
4. Noncompliance with the plans, provisions and conditions of approval for CUP 10-
16 shall be grounds for immediate suspension or revocation of any approvals.

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.
6. 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
