SUBJECT: Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of CUP 89-00S
and VAR 89-003 for a new Two-story, 20 Bed Residential
Care Facility and the Conversion of an Existing
Two-story Duplex to Kitchen and Dining Facilities for
the Dormitory and Offices for the CLARE Foundation at
1865 9th Street. Applicant: CLARE Foundation.
Appellant: John Chung.
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the City Council deny the subject
appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's approval of CUP
89-005 and VAR 89-003. On June 21, 1989, the Planning Commission
approved CUP 89-00S and VAR 89-003 by a vote of 4-0. John Chung
is appealing that decision
(Attachment A) .
A detailed
description of the project is included in the Planning Commission
Staff Report dated June 2l, 1989 included as Attachment B of this
report. The conditions imposed by the Planning Commission can be
found in the Planning Commission Statement of Official Action
dated June 21, 1989, and included as Attachment C of this staff
report.
BACKGROUND
The proposal to construct the 20 bed dormitory and convert an
existing duplex to ancillary support facilities appeared before
the Planning Commission on two separate occasions.
Minor
improvements are also proposed for existing CLARE facilities

adjacent to the subject site. On May 3, 1989, the planning
Commission opened the public hearing for the CLARE proposal, took
pUblic testimony and then continued the matter in order for the
applicant to further study alternative site designs to provide
additional parking and to meet with concerned neighborhood
residents.
The applicant studied alternative site designs, but due to cost
constraints, opted to stay with the same building and parking
configuration. The applicant also worked with the Neighborhood
Support Center and the pica Neighborhood Association to
facilitate communication with concerned neighbors.
Through the neighborhood meetings it became evident that most of
the resident's concerns related to the CLARE Foundation's
existing community assistance programs, such as the Sober Inn and
the Homeless Lunch Program. As a result of the neighborhood
meetings, an agreement was reached in which the CLARE Foundation
would work to improve their existing programs compatibility with
the surrounding neighborhood. In part 1 this would be
accomplished through litter patrols, by limiting loitering in
front of the existing buildings and limiting the Homeless Lunch
Program to 225 patrons. The agreement between the neighborhood
residents, PNA and the CLARE Foundation is included as Attachment
D of this staff report. To further mitigate the project's impact
on the surrounding neighborhood 1 the applicant dropped the
request to construct a 6' high fence wi thin the required front
yard setback, and agreed to a set of special conditions that
- 2 -
would reduce the potential impact of the care facility on the
surrounding residential neighborhood (Attachment C) .
ANALYSIS
The proposed twenty bed dormitory is a permitted use, with the
granting of a CUP, in the R2 zoning district. The building con-
forms with the development standards of the R2 zoning district in
that side yards of seven feet and a front yard of twenty feet are
proposed. The building will reach a maximum height of 23'-6" to
the top of a flat roof. No new construction is proposed for the
unit located at the rear of the lot. A rear yard setback is
therefore not applicable.
There will be no usable new floor area added to the building pro-
posed for conversion to kitchen and dining facilities. A ne"l
mechanical equipment room is proposed for the ground floor.
At their February 25, 1988, meeting the Rent Control Board con-
currently granted a Category D Removal Permit, and an exemption
for the property as a residential social service under RCCA Sec-
tion 1801(c) (6) for the four units existing on the subject site.
Conditional Use Permit
Under Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) Section 9012.4(d) com-
munity care facilities are conditionally permitted uses in the R2
zoning district. A community care facility is defined as "any
facility, place, or building which is maintained and operated to
provide non-medical residential care, adult day care, or home
- 3 -
finding services for children, adults, or children or adults in-
cluding but not limited to the physically handicapped 1 mentally
impaired 1 or incompetent persons, and includes the following:
(1) "Residential Care Facility" means any family home,
group care facility for 24-hour non-medical care to persons 18
years of age or older in need of personal services, supervision,
or assistances essential for sustaining the activities of daily
living or for the protection of the individual.
The proposed twenty bed dormitory and ancillary support facili-
ties will provide additional alcohol recovery and support facili-
ties for the CLARE Foundation. The CLARE Foundation provides a
recovery plan which includes a stay of between 3-6 months, group
discussions and a positive lifestyle to promote sobriety. The
CLARE Foundation currently has ten beds existing in three sepa-
rate units adjacent to the subject site at 1871 Ninth street.
The proposed location of a twenty bed dormitory is appropriate
due to its proximity to existing CLARE Foundation facilities.
The proposed dormitory will provide additional screening and buf-
fering between the existing CLARE facilities on Pico Boulevard
and existing multi-family residences to the north.
Parking Variance
The parking standard for rooming houses 1 boarding houses, clubs
or fraternity type housing with sleeping facilities (1 space/
bedroom) was used to determine parking requirements for the pro-
posed dormitory facility. The parking standard for office space
- 4 -
(1 space/300 square feet of floor area) was used to determine
parking requirements for the office/kitchen and dining facili-
ties. Based on those standards, the dormitory would require ten
spaces, and the office/kitchen facility would require ten parking
spaces. A total of twenty spaces are required and only five
spaces are proposed.
The application of these code parking requirements to this type
of proposal is necessary due to the lack of specific parking re-
quirements for the proposed residential care facility and ancil-
lary kitchen and dining facilities. This type of residential
care facility cannot be expected to generate the same amount of
traffic as boarding houses and fraternities. In addition, since
the kitchen and dining facilities in the converted building will
serve the dormitory, they should not generate additional parking
demands 1 and should not have to be counted in the total square
footage of the office/dining facility. strict compliance with
the parking requirement for the proposed dormitory is not pos-
sible in this instance, nor does staff or the Planning Commission
find it appropriate.
The five parking spaces that will serve as required parking for
the dormitory and office facilities are existing spaces. Due to
the rear building I s location, the required 5' setback for the
parking stall from the rear property cannot be provided. The
Parking and Traffic engineer has approved the parking configura-
tion as proposed.
- 5 -
Program 10 Applicability
The removal of four units from the rental market, and the lack of
providing four units as part of the replacement project raises an
issue regarding compliance with Program 10. The city council
anticipated this issue by including the draft Program 10
Implementing Ordinance language which exempts units which are
removed from a site and replaced by a nonprofit residential
social service use which constitutes the principal use on the
site as long as the nonprofit residential social service use
exists on the property, and upon execution of a deed restriction
imposing the requirements of Program lO should the nonprofit
residential social service use terminate.
Compl iance with the ordinance as proposed, or any subsequent
version adopted by the city Council, has been made a condition of
the project approval.
Conclusion
The proposed expansion of the CLARE Foundation will allow an or-
ganization which provides a community service to expand its
facilities. The project should have a minimal impact on the sur-
rounding neighborhood, and the variances should not create ad-
verse impacts. The requested CUP and variance should therefore
be approved.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
The recommendation presented in this report does not have any
budget or fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the council deny the subject
appeal, and uphold the Planning Commission's approval of
conditional Use Permit 89-005 and Variance 89-003 subject to the
findings and conditions contained in the Planning Commission
statement of Official Action dated June 21, 1989.

PROPOSED PROJECT
Proposed is the removal of a one-story duplex located at the
front of the subject site, and construction of a two storY/23'-
6" , 2 I 930 square foot, 20 bed dormitory for use as an adult
recovery home for the CLARE Foundation. Floor plans indicate
that the dormitory will include ten two-bedroom units and a
library. Two communal restroom facilities will be located on the
first floor and three will be located on the second floor. No
kitchen facilities are proposed in the building. One of the ten
units, as well as one of the communal restroom facilities, will
be equipped to accommodate handicapped residents.
Also proposed is the conversion of a two unit apartment building,
existing on the rear of the site, to kitchen and dining facili-
ties for the dormitory, and offices for the CLARE Foundation.
Floor plans indicate the location of kitchen and dining facili-
ties, as well as one office and a library, on the first floor,
and five offices and a central lobby on the second floor. Rest-
room facilities will be located on both the first and second
floors. The building will add 2,850 square feet of floor space
to the existing CLARE Facilities.
Minor remodeling and new construction is also proposed for the
existing residential care facilities located in the rear building
at 187l Ninth Street. Plans indicate the replacement of stair-
ways leading to a second level walkway located along the northern
elevation of the building, and the construction of a new 238.5
square foot laundry room.
MUNICIPAL CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE
The proposed project is inconsistent with the Municipal Code and
in conformity with the General Plan as shown in Attachment A.
The project is inconsistent with the Municipal Code in that twen-
ty parkinq spaces are required, and five are proposed. A varian-
ces is requested to allow a reduction in the number of parking
spaces.
CEQA STATUS
The project is categorically Exempt per the city of Santa Monica
Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA, class 3 (14).
FEES
The proposal is not subject to any Planning or Zoning fees.

BACKGROUND
The subject proposal was brought before the Planning Commission
on May 3, 1989. After a public hearing, the proposal was con-
tinued so that the applicant could study alternative site designs
to provide additional parking, and to meet with concerned
neighbors.
The applicant has studied alternatives to provide additional
parking since the Planning Commission hearing, while maintaining
the proposed site plan. The proposal brought to staff required
an additional curb cut on Ninth street to access one tandem space
to be located within the required 20' front yard setback. The
result would be the loss of one on-street parking space in order
to gain one on-site tandem parking space (a net gain of one park-
ing space for the project). To provide this additional parking
space, variances would be needed to allow uncovered parking in
the front half of a residential lot, and to allow a curb cut when
alley access to a parcel is available. staff and the applicant
felt that the necessity of obtaining the additional variance, and
the loss of the on-street park.ing space off-set the additional
on-site parking spaces gained.
A survey of the propoerty has been prepared by the applicant
since the Planning Commisison meetinq, and the five parking
spaces existing at the rear of the site, directly behind building
12 at 1865 9th Street, are actually set back ~3'-311 from the cen-
terline of the rear alley, not 10 as originally shown. The re-
quired 15' setback from the center line of the alley cannot be
provided. The 5 parking spaces are, however, existing, and
should be permitted to be maintained.
The applicant has also met with concerned residents of the neiqh-
borhood to discuss the problems associated with operation of
CLARE Foundation's facilities. These problems seem to be associ-
ated with the operation of the existing Sober Inn facilitY1 and
the meals service program, and not with the existing alcohol
recovery facility.
Finally, as a result of concerns expressed by the planning Com-
mission at their May 3, 1989 meeting, the applicant has decreased
the height of the fence proposed wi thin the front yard setback
from 6' to 42", thus eliminating the need for the fence height
variance.
ANALYSIS
The proposed twenty bed dormitory is a permitted use, with the
granting of a CUP 1 in the R2 zoning district, and conforms with
the development standards of the R2 zoning district. Side yards
of seven feet and a front yard of twenty feet are proposed. No
new construction is proposed at the rear of the lot. A rear yard
setback is therefore not applicable. The building will reach a
maximum height of 23'-6" to the top of a flat roof.
- 3 -
There will be no new floor area added to the building proposed
for conversion to kitchen and dining facilities and offices,
aside from a new mechanical equipment room proposed for the
ground floor.
At their February 25, 1988, meeting the Rent Control Board con-
currently granted a Category D Removal Permit, and an exemption
for the property as a residential social service under RCCA Sec-
tion 180l(c) (6) for the four units existing on the subject site.
Conditional Use Permit
Under Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) Section 90l2.4(d) com-
munity care facilities are conditionally permitted uses in the R2
zoning district. A community care facility is defined as "any
facility, place, or building which is maintained and operated to
provide non-medical residential care, adult day care, or home
finding services for children, adults, or children or adults in-
cluding but not limited to the physically handicapped, mentally
impaired, or incompetent persons, and includes the following:
(l) "Residential Care Facility" means any family home,
group care facility for 24-hour non-medical care to persons 18
years of age or older in need of personal services, supervision,
or assistances essential for sustaining the activities of daily
living or for the protection of the individual.
The proposed twenty bed dormitory and ancillary support facili-
ties will provide additional alcohol recovery and support facili-
ties for the CLARE Foundation. There are ten beds existing in
three separate units adjacent to the subject site at 1871 Ninth
Street. The CLARE Foundation provides a recovery plan which in-
cludes a stay of between 3-6 months, group discussions and a
positive lifestyle to promote sobriety.
The conditional Use Permit process is intended to allow the es-
tablishment of uses which might have a special impact, yet for
which their impact can not be determined in advance of the use
being proposed for a particular location. The existence of CLARE
Facilities in this area indicates that the location is appropri-
ate, and that the impacts would be minimal.
The proposed location of a twenty bed dormitory is appropriate
due to its proximity to existing CLARE Foundation facilities.
The proposed dormitory will provide additional screening and buf-
fering between the existing CLARE facilities on Pico Boulevard
and existing mUlti-family residences to the north.
?,,:rking Variance
The parking requirement for rooming houses, boarding houses,
clubs or fraternity type housinq with sleeping facilities was
used to determine parking requirements for the proposed dormitory
facility. The standard office requirement was used to determine
- 4 -
parking requirements for the office/kitchen and dining facili-
ties. The dormitory would require ten spaces (l space per bed-
room), and the office building would require ten spaces (2,850
square feet of floor area/JOO = 9.5 = 10). A total of twenty
spaces are required, yet five are proposed.
The application of the aforementioned parking requirement to this
type of proposal is necessary due to the lack of specific parking
requirements for the proposed dormitory use. A residential care
facility cannot be expected to generate the same amount of traf-
fic as boarding houses and fraternities. In addition, since the
kitchen and dining facilities in the converted building will
serve the dormitory, they should not generate additional parking
demands, and should not have to be counted in the total square
footage of the office/dining facility. If the dining and kitchen
facilities are removed from the total square footage of the
building, only five parking spaces would be required for the con-
verted building, and only fifteen parking spaces would be re-
quired for the entire proposal.
The five parking spaces that will serve as required parking for
the dormitory and office facilities are existing spaces. Due to
the rear building I s location, the required 5 I setback from the
rear property cannot be provided. The parking and Traffic en-
gineer has approved the parking configuration.
Program 10 Applicability
The removal of four units from the rental market, and the lack of
providing four units as part of the replacement proj ect would
appear to indicate non-compliance with Program 10. The City
Council is anticipated, however 1 to include in its Program 10
Implementing Ordinance, specifically Section 9450, language which
exempts "units which are removed from a site and replaced by a
nonprofit residential social service use which constitutes the
principal use on the site, but only as long as the nonprofit
residential social service use exists on the property, and only
upon execution of a deed restriction in a form acceptable to the
City imposing the requirements of [Program 10] should the non-
profit residential social service use terminate."
Compliance with the ordinance as proposed, or any subsequent ver-
sion, is suggested as a condition of the project approval.
Conclusion
The proposed expansion of the CLARE Foundation will allow a much
needed community service to expand its facilities. The project
should have a minimal impact on the surrounding neighborhood, and
the variances should not create any adverse impacts. The re-
quested CUP and variance should therefore be approved.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that CUP 89-005 and VAR 89-003 be approved sub-
ject to the following findings and conditions:
- 5 -
PARKING VARIANCE FINDINGS
1. There are special circumstances or exceptional charac-
teristics applicable to the property involved, including
size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, or to
the intended use or development of the property that do
not apply to other properties in the vicinity under an
identical zoning classification, in that there are no
specific parking requirements for residential care facili-
ties, and the application of office parking requirements
to the entire support facility is also not appropriate.
In addition, most of the clients will not be driving to
the facility, and their stays are of a short duration.
2. The granting of such variance will not be detrimental or
injurious to the property or improvements in the general
vicinity and district in which the property is located, in
that by expandinq the existing facility, additional coun-
seling, living and eating space will be available, thereby
reducing the impact of the existing facility on the sur-
rounding neighborhood.
3. The strict application of the provisions of this Chapter
would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary
hardships, not including economic difficulties or economic
hardships, in that it would be impossible to maintain the
existinq structure and provide the required number of
parking spaces at the rear of the site.
4. The granting of a variance will not be contrary to or in
conflict with the general purposes and intent of this
Chapter, or to the goals, Objectives, and policies of the
General Plan, in that the proposed use is a conditionally
permitted use, and one which provides a community service.
5. The variance would not impair the integrity and character
of the district in which it is to be located, in that some
parkinq is provided on site, and the majority of the new
construction will not generate any additional traffic.
6. The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed
variance, in that it is level, and it will accommodate the
proposed structures with the required setbacks and lot
coverage requirements being met.
7. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and
public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed
variance would not. be detrimental to public health and
safety, in that all public utilities are available to the
site.
8. There will be adequate provisions for public access to
serve the subj ect proposal, in that all parking will be
access from the rear alley.
- 6 -
9. The strict application of the prov~s10ns of Chapter 10 of
the City of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning
Ordinance would result in unreasonable deprivation of the
use or enj oyment of the property, in that there are no
specific parkinq requirements for the proposed type of
use, and no specific studies that would indicate what type
of demand this type of use would generate. In addition,
the the parking requirements set forth result in an unrea-
sonable deprivation of the use of the property.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
1. The proposed use is one conditionally permitted within the
subject district and complies with all of the applicable
provisions of the IIcity of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land
Use and Zoning Ordinance", in that community care facili-
ties are conditionally permitted in the R2 zoning district
per SMMC section 9012.4(c).
2. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and
character of the district in which it is to be established
or located, in that the proposed use is an expansion of an
existing adult recovery facility.
3. The subject parcel is physically suitable for the type of
land use being proposed, in that the proposed dormitory
will provide required side and front yard setbacks, and
will not exceed the maximum permitted lot coverage of 50%
(a lot coverage of 39% is proposed).
4. The proposed use is compatible with any of the land uses
presently on the subject parcel if the present land uses
are to remain, in that the dormitory will conform with the
R2 development standards pertaining to height and setback.
S. The proposed use would be compatible with existing and
permissible land uses within the district and the general
area in which the proposed use is to be located, in that
the proposed use will provide additional counseling and
housing area for the existing overcrowded facilities.
6. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation 1 and
public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed
use would not be detrimental to public health and safetY1
in that all public utilities are available to the subject
site.
7. Public access to the proposed use will be adequate 1 in
that all access to the site is taken from a rear alley.
8. The physical location or placement of the use on the site
is compatible with and relates harmoniously to the sur-
rounding neighborhood, in that the height and bulk of the
new dormitory will conform with the majority of the multi-
family residential development in the area.
- 7 -
9. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, objectives,
and policies of the General Plan, in that the proposed use
will provide a community service, and the CLARE Foundation
is a highly regarded provider of the type of service
proposed.
10. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare,
in that the facilities will be closely supervised by
trained staff and the CLARE Foundations past record is
exemplary.
11. The proposed use conforms precisely to the applicable per-
formance standards contained in Subchapter 6, section 9050
and special conditions outlined in Subchapter 7, section
9055 of the city of Santa Monica comprehensive Land Use
and Zoning Ordinance, in that since there are no specific
requirements relating to this type of community care
facility these code sections are not applicable.
12. The proposed use will not result in an overconcentration
of such uses in the immediate vicinity, in that there are <
only ten beds in the existing facility, and the proposed
additional twenty beds will contribute to relieving over-
crowding conditions for both recovering alcoholics and
staff.

Date.
Approved based on the following findings and
subject to the conditions below.
Denied.
PARKING VARIANCE FINDINGS
Other.
1. There are special circumstances or exceptional charac-
teristics applicable to the property involved, including
size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, or to
the intended use or development of the property that do
not apply to other properties in the vicinity under an
identical zoning classification 1 in that there are no
specific parking requirements for residential care facili-
ties, and the application of office parking requirements
to the entire support facility is also not appropriate.
In addition, most of the clients will not be driving to
the facility, and their stays are of a short duration.
2. The granting of such variance will not be detrimental or
injurious to the property or improvements in the general
vicinity and district in which the property is located, in
- 1 -
f'
4.
that by expanding the existing facility, additional coun-
seling, living and eating space will be available, thereby
reducing the impact of the existing facility on the sur-
rounding neighborhood.
3. The strict application of the provisions of this Chapter
would result in practical difficulties or uunecessary
hardships, not including economic difficulties or economic
hardships, in that it would be impossible to maintain the
existing structure and provide the required nUJlber of
parking spaces at the rear of the site.
The granting of a variance will not be contrary to or in
confl ict with the general purposes and intent of this
Chapter, or to the goals, objectives, and policies of the
General Plan, in that the proposed use is a conditionally
permitted use, and one which provides a community service.
~
5. The variance would not impair the integrity and character
of the district in which it is to be located, in that some
parking is pr.ovided on site, and the majority of the new
construction will not generate any additional traffic.
6. The subject site is physically suitable for the proposed
vari~nce, in that it is level, and it will accommodate the
proposed structures with the required setbacks and lot
coverage requirements being met.
7. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and
public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed
variance would not be detrimental to publ ic health and
safety, in that all public utilities are available to the
site.
8. There will be adequate provisions for public access to
serve the subj ect proposal, in that all parking will be
accessed from the rear alley.
9. The strict application of the provisions of Chapter lO of
the City of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning
Ordinance would result in unreasonable deprivation of the
use or enj oyment of the property, in that there are no
specific parking requirements for the proposed type of
use, ~nd no specific studies that would indicate what type
of demand this type of use would generate. In addition,
the the parking requirements set forth result in an unrea-
sonable deprivation of the use of the property.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
1. The proposed use is one conditionally permitted within the
subject district and complies with all of the applicable
provisions of the "city of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land
Use and Zoning ordinance", in that community care facili-
ties are conditionally permitted in the R2 zoning district
per SMMC Section 9012.4(c) .
- 2 -
"
I
The proposed use would .not impair the integrity and
character of the district in which it is to be established
or located, in that the proposed use is an expansion of an
existing adult recovery facility.
3. The subje~t parcel is physically suitable for the type of
land use' being proposed, in that the proposed .dormitory
will prov..ide required side and front yard setbacks 1 and
will not exceed the maximum permitted lot coverage of 50%
(a lot coverage of 39% is proposed) .
2.
~
4. The proposed use is compatible with any of the land uses
presently on the subject parcel if the present land uses
are to remain, in that the dormitory will conform with the
R2 development standards pertaining to height and setback.
The proposed use would be compatible with existing and
permissible land uses within the district and the general
area in which the proposed use is to be located, in that
the proposed use will provide additional counseling and
- housing area tor the existing overcrowded facilities.
5.
6. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation 1 and
public utili~ies and services to ensure that the proposed
use would not be detrimental to public health and safety,
in that all public utilities are available to the subject
site.
7. Public access to the proposed use will be adequate, in
that all access to the site is taken from a rear alley.
8. The physical location or placement of the use on the site
is compatible with and relates harmoniously to the sur-
rounding neighborhood, in that the height and bulk of the
new dormitory will conform with the majority of the multi-
family residential development in the area.
9. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, objectives,
and policies of the General Plan, in that the proposed use
will provide a community service, and the CLARE Foundation
is a highly regarded provider of the type of service
proposed.
10. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare,
in that the facilities will be closely supervised by
trained staff and the CLARE Foundation I s past record is
exemplary.
ll. The proposed use conforms precisely to the applicable per-
formance standards contained in Subchapter 6, Section 9050
and special conditions outlined in Subchapter 7, Section
9055 of the City of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use
and Zoning Ordinance, in that since there are no specitic
requirements relating to this type of community care
facility these code sections are not applicable.
- 3 -
f
12.
The proposed use will not result in an overconcentration
of such uses in the immediate vicinity, in that there are
only ten beds in the existing facility, and the proposed
additional twenty beds will contribute to relieving over-
crowding conditions for both recovering alcoholics and
staff.
