Pc - Item 5C - Conditional Use Permit 10-10 and 2139 San GabrielROSEMEAD PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ROSEMEAD PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DIVISION DATE: DECEMBER 20, 2010 SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 10 -10 2139 SAN GABRIEL BOULEVARD Summary Melissa Chen Lu, representing Unity Auto Service, Inc., has submitted a Conditional Use Permit application proposing to operate an automobile repair facility at a location that was previously used for automobile repair and sales. The project includes minor alterations to the parking lot and landscaping. The site is located at 2139 San Gabriel Boulevard in.the C -3 (Medium Commercial) zone. Environmental Determination: Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines exempts projects that consist of the minor alteration of existing structures involving negligible expansion of the previous use. The proposed project will re- establish automobile repair use on the site that has been used for automotive service uses for almost fifty (50) years with no change in the on -site structures. Accordingly, Conditional Use Permit 10- 10 is classified as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of CEQA guidelines, Staff Recommendation Based on the analysis and findings contained in this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission APPROVE Conditional Use Permit 10 -10 and ADOPT Resolution No. 10 -36 with findings (Exhibit "A "), and subject to the forty -three (43) conditions outlined in Exhibit "B" attached hereto. Property History and Description The subject site is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of San Gabriel Boulevard and La Merced Road. The property is developed with a 1,198 square foot commercial building that was most recently used as an automobile sales and repair facility. Because the property has been unoccupied for more than a year, the site had lost its previous nonconforming rights to be used as an automobile repair facility, and Planning Commission Meeting December 20, 2010 Page 2 of 16 thus a new Conditional Use Permit is required. The site was also used as a gasoline service station from 1962 to approximately 1977. Based on a geophysical investigation performed on the property in 2009, it appears that the underground storage tanks associated with the previous service station use have been removed. The site includes a small commercial building with a two -car automobile service bay, a service office, storage, and restrooms. The site was recently improved with new concrete pavement, new perimeter walls, and the building was repainted. The site consists of one (1) parcel, totaling approximately 0.32 acres. Planning Division records indicate that no entitlements have been approved for this property. a View looking north from La Merced Road Site & Surrounding Land Uses The project site is designated in the General Plan as Mixed Use: Industrial /Commercial and is zoned C -3 (Medium Commercial). The siti is surrounded by the following land uses: North: General Plan Zoning: Land Use: Mixed Use: Ind C -3 (Medium C Restaurant and mercial rcial buildings South: General Plan: Mixed Use: Industrial /Commercial Planning Commission Meeting December 20, 2010 Pace 3 of 16 Zoning: Land Use: East: General Plan: Zoning: Land Use: West: General Plan: Zoning: Land Use: C -3 (Medium Commercial) Commercial buildings Mixed Use: Industrial /Commercial C -3 (Medium Commercial) Commercial buildings Unincorporated County of Los Angeles Unincorporated County of Los Angeles Single family residential uses Administrative Analysis The proposed project includes a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of an automobile repair facility. According to the applicant, the site will be used for automobile repair, maintenance, and minor service (oil changes, tune -ups, brakes, tires, etc.). Unity Auto Service, Inc. is proposing to operate Monday to Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and employ two (2) persons. Section 17.112.030.28 of the Rosemead Municipal Code (RMC) requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit for automobile repair uses in the C -3 Zone. Additionally, even though the site was previously used for automobile repair (along with auto sales) the previous use was considered legal non - conforming because it was established before the Zoning Code required a Conditional Use Permit for automobile repair facilities. Legal nonconforming uses are permitted to remain but, pursuant to Section 17.12.060 of the RMC, if a legal nonconforming use ceases operation for a period of one year any future use of the site must meet the current requirements of the Zoning Code. In this case, the previous automobile repair tenant vacated the property more than one year ago. Thus, a Conditional Use Permit is required for Unity Auto Service, Inc. to re- establish an automobile repair facility on the subject property. No spray painting or auto body repairs are proposed. To ensure that no auto repair is performed outside of the repair bay, staff has included specific conditions as to where the work shall be performed and the location where vehicles are to be stored during business hours. Site Plan As illustrated in "Exhibit C," there is an existing 1,198 square foot building on the subject property. As described above, the existing building in the center of the site has two (2) service bays, an office, storage and restrooms. Access to the site is from existing driveways on San Gabriel Boulevard and La Merced Road. The site is also encumbered by a 25' triangular shaped easement at the northeast corner of the property. This recorded easement served a common driveway between Planning Commission Meeting December 20, 2010 Page 4 of 16 the subject property and the restaurant to the north. However, the common driveway was eliminated at some time in the past so the recorded easement is no longer necessary to serve either the subject property o'r the property to the north. However, since the easement is still a recorded encumbrance on the property, staff has added a condition of approval to either have access restored to the easement (recent perimeter wall construction has blocked access to the easement) or the applicant shall officially terminate the easement. I The site currently includes a 20' -0" dedication of land along La Merced Road that was previously granted to the City. This dedication was to facilitate the future widening of La Merced Road. The applicant has constructed block walls and other non - permitted encroachments in the City's right -of -way. Staff has included a condition of approval to require the encroachments to be removed from the right -of -way as they present liability issues for the City if they were to remain. The ICity Engineer has also reviewed the street plans and determined that the dedication is no longer needed and he would support a request by the applicant to vacate of this land. Vacation would allow the return of the land to the ownership of the property lowner and allow for perimeter wall improvements that were constructed in the current public right -of -way to remain since the land where the walls are would become private property. The City Engineer has also recommended that the applicant dedicate approximately four (4) feet of land along the San Gabriel Boulevard right -of -way to facilitate the widening of the public parkway from eight (8) feet l to twelve (12) feet. The applicant is also proposing to install a new trash enclosure with a decorative trellis in the northwest corner of the property. The trash enclosure has been designed to compliment the building architecture. Staff has added conditions of approval requiring that trash enclosure doors be self - closing and self - latching, and that the trash area be routinely maintained free of trash and debris. Elevations The applicant is proposing no changes to the exterior of the building. The build_ ing has recently been painted and is now white with grey trim. Parking and Circulation Access to the site would be via existing driveways on San Gabriel Boulevard and La Merced Road. Surface parking will be provided t on the south side of the building and along the north property line. A total of eight (8) parking spaces will be provided on site, which includes seven (7) standard spaces and one (1) handicapped parking space. Per Rosemead Municipal Code (RMC) Section 17.84.100 the combined parking requirement for the proposed use is three (3) spaces. The site plan indicates that the subject site exceeds this requirement by providing eight (8) stalls. Planning Commission Meeting December 20, 2010 Page 5 of 16 Landscaping and Fencing The site currently has no on -site landscaping. The applicant is proposing approximately 550 square feet of new landscaping for the site. The landscaping requirements comply with the standards in the RMC. Signage The applicant is proposing to continue to use the existing, approximately 16 foot tall, pole sign along San Gabriel Boulevard. A condition of approval has been added, requiring that the applicant submit a master sign program to the Planning Division for review and approval prior to Planning Division final inspection.
